Chapter Nineteen: Studying

Rory arched upwards into Tristan as he kissed her neck, "we're supposed to be studying" she muttered breathlessly.

"We are."

"Not each other!"

Tristan sat up and Rory slid out from underneath him. Tristan pouted at her and Rory's heart melted, she reached over to the clock on the coffee table and set the alarm to go off in fifteen minutes, "what're you doing?"

"We have fifteen minutes more make-out time and then we are going to study."

Tristan grinned, "That sounds like something Paris would do."

Rory gave him a knowing look, "do you really want to talk about Paris right now?"

Tristan dragged her towards him, "not at all."
Twenty five minutes later Rory was copying out some notes from one of her textbooks while Tristan studied her, "so..."

"So what?" she asked.

"Are you going to eat lunch with my friends and me again tomorrow?"

Rory looked up guiltily stopping her note taking "I don't know..." she replied warily.

"Why not?"

"You have to agree with me Tristan that it was really awkward and uncomfortable; I just don't fit in with your friends" Rory replied as she moved her text books on to the coffee table.

"But... maybe if you just spent a bit more time with them then you will get to like them, they're really not that bad once you get to know them, there was only one overly sexist remark while you were there." Rory frowned as she remembered the uncomfortable look on Brad's face when he had remembered she was sitting at the table half way through his tale of what he had gotten up to on Saturday night. "I just really don't think I am ever going to fit in with your friends."

"But you haven't even really tried" Tristan insisted.

Rory's face took on an annoyed expression as her temper flared, "I have so Tristan, don't you dare accuse me of not trying."

"You spent one lunch period with them!" Tristan said unconsciously raising his voice.

"One very uncomfortable lunch period" Rory yelled back.

"Are you going to use that against them forever?" Tristan yelled throwing his hands in the air.

"Yes." Rory screamed back.

"Fine!" Tristan yelled getting up from the couch.

As he stormed into the kitchen Rory's guilt had already started to set in. She stood from the couch, and made her way slowly into the kitchen. She stopped in the doorway and watched Tristan; he was standing with his back to her, he had both hand placed on the wall and was leaning into the wall with his head down. "Tristan."

When he didn't reply, she moved towards him, she slipped in under his arms so she was between the wall and him. He raised his head and looked at her, "please don't be mad at me, I don't want to fight."

"I just don't understand they're really not that bad once you get to know them and I'm sure once they get used to you and you to them you'll like each other."

"Ok I'll sit with you at lunch again tomorrow, but I'm not promising to like them."

"I'm not asking you to."

"Ok."

They stared into each others eyes, "are we still fighting?" Tristan asked.

"No."

"Good" Tristan replied as he pressed her back into the wall and started kissing her.
Rory and Tristan were both sitting on the couch doing homework after having very heatedly made it up to each other for twenty minutes when Lorelai got home. At the interruption Tristan looked at his watch, "I should get going, but first there's something I've been meaning to ask you."

"Ok."

"On Saturday night do you think you could come to dinner at my place and... meet my parents?" he asked as he put all his stuff into his bag.

"Meet you parents?" Rory repeated nervously

"Yeah."

"Um... well I... why?"

"Well, I'm surprised they even noticed but they did, that I've been spending a lot of time out of the house and when I told them that I had a girlfriend they wanted to meet you and I know it'll probably be really uncomfortable but they'll stop hassling me once they've met you..."

"I thought I was the one that rambled" Rory teased.

"Sorry."

"Sure I'll come on Saturday, what time?"

"I'll pick you up."

"But..."

"Believe me it'll be easier for you if I'm with you when you arrive."

"Oh ok then."

"I'll pick you up at six thirty" Tristan replied standing up.

Rory stood as well and followed him to the front door, "ok."

Tristan leant and kissed Rory goodbye, "I'll miss you" she muttered as he pulled away.

He laughed, "You better."

Rory closed the door after watching Tristan pull away from the porch and went into the kitchen. Her mum was sitting at the kitchen table holding a cup of coffee in one hand; she turned and looked at Rory when she entered, "so you're going to meet his parents?" "Yeah... should be interesting."
