Chapter Five: The Party

Rory opened the door, and smiled out at Tristan. "Are you ready?" he asked. "Yeah just a second" Rory replied moving away from the door.

Tristan followed her in, "Hello again Mrs Gilmore."

"It's Lorelai."

"Bye mum, I won't be too late" Rory called grabbing Tristan's arm and steering him out the front door and over to his jag.

The car ride over to Louise's house was pretty much silent the only words came from when Tristan who had commented on how nice she looked and her saying thankyou. Tristan parked his car midway down the street and they hoped out walking down the street to the house that was obviously hosting a party, there was loud music and lights everywhere. Tristan rang the doorbell and Louise flung the door open. "Tristan" she gushed.

Tristan didn't respond, he grabbed hold of Rory's elbow and steered her inside and over to the table with all the beverages, Tristan poured them both a glass of soft drink, after realising that Rory would not want to have any alcholic beverage. I never should have come here, I feel so awkward, I'm not friends with any of these people except for Tristan and I don't want to hold him back from his real friends.

Rory excepted the drink and took a sip. She surveyed the many bodies dancing, the people talking or making out in the corners or on couches and one couple even on the floor. "Wanna dance?" Tristan asked. "I don't dance." "Fair enough, let's go out the back then it's really hard to hear." Tristan said over the music. They made they're way outside and sat down on a bench, both silent. She's so beautiful, I want to kiss her so badly.

"It's nice out here." Rory said surveying the many fairy lights strung throughout trees in the huge garden.

"Yeah."

Rory turned to look at him, "you wouldn't just be trying to get me alone now would you Mr DuGrey."

"Would I do that" Tristan exclaimed holding a hand to his heart feigning innocence.

"Yes."

"Well you know for old times sake" he said suggestively leaning in towards her half jokingly. She laughed, "let's go back inside I think i'm safer with other people around, I might even let you talk me into dancing."

"Ok" Tristan jumped up dragging Rory back inside and straight onto the dance floor.

Rory watched him as he started to dance and then started to dance mimicking alot of his moves. As she danced she tried not to think about the time that she had been with him at a party before, sitting at a certain piano. She could tell she was a terrible dancer and so was grateful when a slow song came on next, that was until she felt Tristan pulling her towards him.He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her in close, she put her arms around his neck annd rested her cheek on his chest as they moved very slowly to the dance beat. She felt Tristan's lips on her hair and looked up at him, he smiled down at her and before she knew what she was doing, she had moved her hands from his neck to having her fingers entwined in his hair, she brought his lips down to hers using her hands to press his lips down on hers. Tristan was shocked but immeadiately started kissing her back. His hands ran up and down her back, he grabbed hold of both of her sides pulling her closer to him until there was no space inbetween them and they were pressed right up against each other. Rory felt tingles travel through her whole body as their kiss continued. When she felt his tongue slide across her lip, she pulled away, and wiping her hand across her mouth, started to hurriedly walk away. Oh great, why is it that every time we kiss, it is great for me and she gets upset and runs away. She was almost, to the archway that led out of the living room of Louise's house when she felt a hand on her elbow stopping her and spinning her around to face him. She tried to not to meet his eyes as he asked, "where are you going?"

"Please Tristan leave me alone" Rory said trying to hold back her tears.

"Hey that's not fair, I didn't kiss you, you know it was the other way round, so why should you be upset," Tristan replied angrily.

"I know, I'm sorry I kissed you."

"I'm not."

Rory looked up at him, and he had a frown on his face and his brow was creased. He reached out to touch her face and his frown disappeared. He ran a finger along her jaw and her eyes closed. "I won't ever be sorry if you kiss me like that."

Her eyes opened at his words and he bent down and kissed her once very lightly on her lips, it was a barely a kiss just a butterfly kiss but it sent shivers up and down her spine. "I'm sorry" Rory said.

"Stop saying that" Tristan said the anger coming back into his voice.

"No, not for kissing you before, for saying that I was sorry I did it, I'm not."

He looked at her, "I don't feel like staying here can you take me home," she whispered.

He nodded and they left the party and got back into his jag. They drove all the way in silence. He pulled up in her driveway. "You can come in for a minute if you want."

Tristan followed her out of the car and up the front walk to the door, Rory let herself in with her key "I'm home" she called out to her mum as she removed her jacket and threw it on a chair.

When there was no reply, Rory walked through into the kitchen. Next to the coffee machine was folded piece of paper with her name on it.

Rory,
I left the note her becaue I knew that this would be the first place you would look. I am over at Sookie's she had a fight with Jackson. Don't wait up for me, because I might stay over there.

Love Mum

P.S. It better not be any earlier then ten thirty right now.

Rory felt guilty at the P.S. on the note as she looked at her watch and realised it was only around eight thirty. "My mum's gone out she probably won't be home tonight, her best friend Sookie had a fight with her husband, do you want a cup of coffee, cos I'm having a big one."

"Sure."

Rory set about putting in the filter and measuring out the water and coffee and getting out cups. She had just finished and turned the coffee machine on when she went to turn around her way was blocked by Tristan who was standing very close behind her. She managed to turn around but he didn't move back. His head swooped down to kiss her, but she pulled away "Hey I thought you wanted coffee" she protested.

"Who needs coffee when I have you" he replied.

Rory subconciously wet her lips as he ran a hand up her bare arm. Tristan's eyes followed her tongue the whole time. I want her so bad, she's driving me crazy and she doesn't even know it. Tristan's hand moved from her arm around to her back and over down to the backs of her legs so that he could lift her up until she was sitting on the bench bringing her lips to a more accesible level, and he didn't waste one moment his lips were on hers in a second. When his tongue ran along her lip this time she didn't deny him, she parted her lips to let him explore inside. He broke the kiss on a quiet moan and pulled back from her until just their foreheads were resting against each other. "You have no idea how crazy your making me" he whispered.

"Oh is that so and what happens if I kiss you here," she whispered placing her lips on his neck where she could feel his pulse "or here," she kissed him just behind his ear "or did this," she gently nibbled at his ear.

He moaned and she laughed. "Stop it, your driving me insane."

Just as he bent down to kiss her again, they heard a ding and Rory jumped up off the bench forcing Tristan backwards. "Coffee's ready" she said cheerfully as though nothing had happened.

Rory poured out the coffee adding sugar and milk to his, she handed him his cup, and walked into the living room and plopped down on the couch, where she preceded to gulp the steaming hot liquid until there was none left. Tristan had but one sip when she finished and so he followed suit and put his down on the coffee table as well. "Did you mean what you said, your not sorry I kissed you?" she asked.

"No, did you mean what you said your not sorry you kissed me?"

"Never."

Tristan beamed a breathtaking smile at her, he then preceded to lean into her trapping her body underneath his against the couch, "Hey you didn't finish your coffee."

"I'm not thirsty anymore."

Tristan kissed her on the mouth, this time not at all hesitant about the use of his tongue, their tongues twisted annd twirled around each other. Tristan moved his mouth from hers and preceded to kiss slowly down her cheeks, across her jaw line and down her neck, Rory arched her neck trying to get more contact with his mouth. "I don't think that we should be doing this know, I should probably go." Tristan said breathlessly.

"Wait stay a while we'll talk, I have a few questions."

"Ok, but your not allowed to kiss me again, otherwise I won't be able to control myself."

"Ok" she said laughing.

"So what do you want to talk about?" he asked.

"This."

"What's this?"

"This relationship."

"Oh" Tristan said as he swallowed nervously.

At first I thought I knew where this story was going but now I have lost track of what I should do, so if anybody has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. I don't think that I will be able to add another chapter until I think of where this is going or until somebody helps me think of where this is going.
