About two months later, Rory and Tristan's friendship was known to everyone. They were inseparable, and when you saw one, you knew the other couldn't be far. Lorelai took a great liking to Tristan not only because she saw the way he looked at her daughter, but because she knew what it felt like to grow up in a suffocated house, and she felt that she could help him.
One Saturday afternoon, Tristan pulled up to the Gilmore House and walked right in. He gained that privilege since he and Rory became friends. Walking into the kitchen, he saw Lorelai sitting at the table drinking coffee and reading for her business class.
"Bible Boy!!!" she screamed as she jumped out of her chair to give him a hug.
Hugging her back laughing he said in the same tone "Lorelai!!!"
Breaking away from the hug, they both made their way to the kitchen table.
"Rory is in the shower, she'll be out any minute." Lorelai said putting full concentration to a pen in front of her.
Looking at her with a confused expression on his face Tristan asked what she was doing.
"I'm trying to use my hidden psychic power lift the pen using my mind." Lorelai said not looking up from the pen.
Right before Tristan could respond Rory walked out of the bathroom with her hair dry hanging over her shoulders wearing jeans and a blue long sleeved shirt.
Wow only she could make a simple outfit look amazing Tristan thought looking at her.
"Mom, are you still trying to move the pen with your mind?" Rory laughed before taking in Tristan's appearance.
He looks so good out of his Chilton uniform. I can't believe I am starting to have more than friendly feelings towards one of my best friends. I have to talk to mom later. Rory thought.
"Don't you mock me. When I get that pen to move, it will be me mocking you. But in the mean time, I'm going to Luke's for some uh...yeah...lets just leave it at that." Lorelai said putting on her coat.
"Eww mom, did you really have to say that?"
"Oh I aim to make you squirm. Ok kiddies, meet me at Luke's later for some lunch."
After Lorelai left, Rory got herself and Tristan cups of coffee and sat down at the table. After talking for about 20 minutes, there was a knock on the front door.
"I'll be right back." Rory said making her way to the door.
Standing on the other side of the door was none other than Dean.
"D-d-dean, wh what are you doing her?" Rory asked surprised.
"Well, I just wanted to say how much I missed you and I know that you really love me, but you were just scared to say it and I am willing to give you another chance." Dean said snidely.
"Excuse me" Rory asked in a deathly quiet voice. "Dean you have no right coming into my house and saying something like that to me."
"Ror, is everything ok?" Tristan asked making his way to the front door.
"Oh looky here, it's the accountant, are you here to do my taxes? Or are you just here to get in Rory's pants. Hm, let's see know, knowing you, I would say it's the latter."
Rory saw Tristan clenching his fists and before he did anything he would later regret, she put a comforting arm on his chest and turned back to Dean.
"I would leave right now if I were you Dean."
"Fine I'm going, just don't come crying to me when this guy dumps you after not getting what he wants." Dean said leaving.
"Oh my gosh, I can't believe the nerve of him. I can't believe he said he was willing to give me another chance. I swear I was about to punch him." Rory said fuming.
"Its ok Ror" Tristan said taking her into his arms. "He's gone now. Let's just go to Luke's"
"Ok" Rory mumbled
The pair walked into Luke's seeing a desperate Lorelai begging for a cup of coffee from Luke.
"Please please please Luke. I haven't had a cup in an hour."
"No" Luke grumbled
"Geeze, sleeping with you gets me nowhere." Lorelai mumbled making her way over to the two teens.
"Hello kiddeos. Whatcha upto?"
"Nothing" Rory replied "We just had a nice little run in with Dean though."
"Ouch, what happened."
After telling Lorelai what happened, she looked like she wanted to beat someone over the head with a stick.
"Aw honey. Do you want me to tell Luke to beat the crap out of him because you know he will."
Tristan laughed at this knowing that Luke would do that for Rory.
"No, I'll be fine. I keep that thought though."
A little while later, after finally getting coffee and lunch out of Luke's, the trio made their way back to the Gilmore house. After passing Doose's Market, they heard a motorcycle.
"OOO I want that. I really want that. Tristan buy that for me?" Lorelai begged looking at the bike adoringly.
"Lorelai I don't trust you on one of those." Tristan laughed.
They continued walking until the bike stopped right in front of them. "Can we help you" Lorelai asked.
"Yea, you can take off your shirt." The biker said taking off his helmet.
"DAD!!" Rory screamed running into her dad's arms.
"Christopher" Lorelai whispered
After Rory let go of the death grip she had on her dad, he went over and gave Lorelai a hug.
"Dad this is Tristan. One of my bestest friends in the whole world. Tris, this is my dad" Rory said introducing the two.
"Its nice to meet you sir" Tristan said sticking out his hand.
"You can call me Chris, and its nice to meet you too"
"So dad where are you staying"
"Do you know where any good hotels are" Chris asked
"Dad, you should stay with us" Rory said excitedly
"I don't know Ror," Chris said looking at Lorelai
"Yea Chris, stay with us." Lorelai said after Tristan nudged her.
"Well as much as I would love to stay, I've got to be heading home. Dad actually wants me home for dinner tonight. It was nice meeting you Christopher. I will call you later Ror." Tristan said heading to his car.
"Bye Tristan" "Bye Bible Boy" Lorelai and Rory said at the same time.
"He seems like a nice kid" Chris said as Tristan drove off.
"He is. I don't know what I would do without him" Rory said truthfully. Lorelai took note of this and made a mental note to question Rory about it later.
A while later while Rory was in her room doing homework, Christopher and Lorelai were talking.
"So, how have you been Lor?" Chris asked taking a sip of his beer.
"Oh you know, same old. Getting drunk every night and waking up every morning with a new tattoo" she said dryly
Chris laughed at this. "What are you doing here Chris."
"I was just passing through the town and decided to see my favorite Gilmore Girls." He replied.
"So, what is up with Rory and this Tristan kid" Chris finally asked. This had been bothering him ever since Tristan left.
"Long story short, he is in love with our daughter, she is oblivious, and she is starting to like him as more than a friend."
"Well, I like him"
A couple minutes later Chris's cell rang,
"Hello?"
"Christopher, I hear you are in town." The voice on the other line said.
"Yes I am Emily." Hearing her name, Lorelai made a face. "As a matter of fact I am sitting here with her right now" Chris said. He handed the phone to Lorelai saying that Emily wanted to talk to her.
"Hi mom"
"Lorelai Christopher is in town!" Emily almost shouted
"Really mom I had no idea. I thought I was sitting next to him but it must be a really good hologram." Lorelai said dryly.
Ignoring her, Emily continued "I just had a fabulous idea. What if we moved this Friday night dinner to Tuesday and bring Chris with you, and we will have the Hayden's over also. Oh wouldn't that be lovely."
"Uh dinner with the Haydens?" Lorelai asked looking at Chris. After making a face, Chris motioned that they probably didn't have a choice. "Uh yea mom, sure."
After making the final plans, Lorelai hung up.
"Chris?"
"Yea?"
"What did we just get ourselves into?" Lorelai asked
"I don't know Lor, but we'll soon find out."
A/N...ok that's it. I was going to add the dinner into this chapter but I am too tired. Next chapter is the dinner. Reviews are welcome and I will update soon!!
P.S. I know some things are not in order but, oh well, its my story.
