She opened her eyes slowly that morning and looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. She was on her side and could feel the warmth of another body, quickly striking her memory for the previous nights events. She smiled as she realized she was still at Tristan's and that he was next to her. Trying not to move much, she got off the couch and recovered him with the fallen blanket. He stirred slightly, frowning as he felt for the warmth of her body and opened his eyes to find her standing in front of her.

"Leaving so soon Mary?" he asked sitting up slowly and stretching his arms out.

"I have to get to class, remember?" she began to gather her shoes and coat.

"Let me take you back to your apartment," he stood up getting his keys and shoes as she smiled in appreciation.

They drove back to her dorm in a comfortable silence, while they held hands sneaking glances all the while. He walked her to the door and kissed her softly before leaving her to head back to his apartment. Rory walked in, with a dazed look on her face as she traveled to her room. She was completely oblivious to the naked couple on her couch and walked straight into her room, shutting the door quietly.

Class was almost like an abrupt blur, it started, it passed, it finished. Nothing new, nothing exciting – just class. The most exciting part of it was the leaving because she would get to see Tristan. She was so excited that she didn't even notice where she was going until she hit something – really hard! This something knocked her to her feet and left her in a mess of papers- which weren't hers.

Looking up embarrassed she began to apologize, "I am so sorry! I feel terrible! Here let me help you," she gathered up the papers as the figure next to her did the same. She finally stood up after all of the papers had been gathered and stared into his sparkling blue eyes. He was blonde and quite handsome, well dressed and taken care of. He looked to be from the more sophisticated society and carried himself that way.

"Well, thanks for helping me pick up the papers you made me drop, now I have to redo all of this work," he smiled and made her blush slightly.

"Again, I'm terribly sorry- I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. I'm sorry," she turned to leave but he called to her.

"Hey, you know you could make it up to me," he offered and made her spin around.

"How?" She smiled softly with a sly twinkle in her eye.

"Dinner, have dinner with me tonight," he responded and began to answer but he cut her off, "it's the least you could do. By the way, I'm Logan, Logan Huntzberger," and with that gave her a smile that could have weakened anyone's knees.

"Rory Gilmore, but I can't have dinner with you. I have a boyfriend," she answered turning away again.

"Well Rory, that's too bad- but I wasn't hitting on you," she began to blush as he called this to her.

"I just figured that- never mind, but I can't have dinner tonight," she smiled and he began to step closer to her. He came so close that he invaded her personal space making her slightly startled.

"Well, you should never assume, but you must make it up to me. What are you doing right now?" he asked taking the papers that she still seemed to be holding.

"I wasn't doing anything really-"

"Great, then we'll have coffee!" he exclaimed and began to pull her towards a coffee shop not far away.

"You said the magic word!" she said and followed without resistance.

"So Rory Gilmore, tell me something about you," Logan asked sipping his coffee at the small table they were seated at.

"Hmm, not much to tell I suppose," she answered avoiding her personal life.

"There is always something to tell Rory, how about why you're at Yale," he replied.

"Oh you know how to pick 'em don't you! Well, my grandfather went her, its family tradition. I was going to go to Harvard- but this was closer to home!" she said smiling as she remembered the oh-so-many debates with her grand parents about university.

"Ah, are you one of those 'dinner-once-a-week' girls then?" he asked seeming to know about her life.

"You guessed it! The exciting life of me! Changing the subject now- what about you, why do you go to Yale?" she asked taking a giant gulp of her own coffee.

"Oh why wouldn't I? I go here for journalism- I'm on the paper," he replied and sat back in his seat.

"Weird, I am too. Small world isn't it?" she commented and copied his position.

"Yes it is- so about this boyfriend of yours, who is he and how can I get rid of him?" he joked but looked very serious about it.

"Ha, you're funny," she answered her voice dripping with sarcasm. "His name is Tristan DuGrey and you can't get rid of him!" she smiled triumphantly but this didn't seem to stir his thoughts.

Rory Gilmore was going to be a challenge- but Logan loved a good challenge. She sparked his interest and knew that he could get her. "I see, there's no changing your mind then?" he asked leaning into the table.

"Nope," she replied sipping her coffee when she noticed Tristan walk into the coffee shop. He smiled when he spotted her and walked over. "Tristan, hey!" she got up and gave him a big hug.

"Hey Mary," he gave Logan a discomforting look which Rory recognized as confusion.

"Oh, Tristan, this is Logan- I bumped into him when I was thinking of you and had to repay him for scattering his papers," she answered coolly noticing his relaxed stance.

"Nice to meet you Logan," he offered his hand which Logan accepted politely.

"Well, I must be off- thanks for the coffee Gilmore," he gave her a broad smile and disappeared behind a far off corner quickly.

"So what was that all about?" Tristan asked removing his worn leather jacket and taking a seat next to Rory.

"I don't know really. I knocked his papers everywhere, while I was thinking about you," she paused to smirk at him, then continued, "and he wanted to take me to dinner but I said no that I have a boyfriend, so he offered coffee and how could I refuse coffee?" she said with pleading eyes.

"Ah, coffee! The magic word that sets Rory in motion! By the way, sorry I didn't make you coffee this morning, I actually have some at my apartment," he smiled and snuck a kick kiss to her smirking lips.

"So, now what?" Rory asked looking around for some kind of idea.

"We could have a repeat of yesterday that was surely fun!" he gave her a sly grin with a twinkle in his eye that made her laugh.

"Surely?" she broke into a peal of laughter which made him blush slightly. There was only one woman on this planet that could make Tristan DuGrey blush, as he had come to realize as Rory Gilmore.

"Well Ms. Gilmore, you asked for something to do," he shot back making her suppress her laughter and smile. Her cheeks turned pink as laughter danced from her eyes.

"Okay, we could do what we did yesterday- minus the boring movies and the fight. Oh and minus my class," she added leaving only two things.

"That leaves us with our super awesome make out session in the park and the falling asleep on my couch which you seem to want to take ownership of!" he said taking a deep breath at the end of it.

"Yes, exactly my point!" she said cutely making him smile.

"So how shall we begin?" he asked getting up from his seat with a coffee he had ordered a few minutes before.

"Hm, like this:" she gave him a soft kiss that made his knees weak. Again only Rory Gilmore could make his knees weak- this was turning into a list of things she could do to him.

"Okay, that's a good start- but how about we go back to the park and find a new exciting spot!" he suggested with a sly glimmer in his eyes.

"Oh let's," she skipped out the doors and headed to the far side of a nearby park.

She raced faster and faster as he chased after her like a foolish school boy trying to steal a kiss. She turned her head to look at him as if it were some kind of game, and cackled as he sped up. Finally he grabbed hold of her arms and slowed her down, bringing them both into a tumble to the ground. No one was in the park it seemed, just the two of them. They laughed loudly as they lay beside each other and linked fingers looking up at the sky. Rory sat up first, bending over to kiss Tristan passionately. He responded quickly by pulling her down closer to his lips, pressing his own firmly against hers. Slowly she crawled on top of him, straddling his body and kissing him deeply, his hands exploring her back and front. She giggled as he slid his fingers under her shirt and danced them around in circles.

Suddenly, Tristan stopped kissing Rory and sat up abruptly. Completely shocked, she pushed him down playfully but he wouldn't budge- a sudden seriousness had crept upon his face. Slowly she turned to see what he was staring at and noticed a laughing figure above them – Logan's laughing figure.

"Enjoying the show?" Tristan questioned sternly as Logan sat back on a nearby bench.

"It's okay, I just came to talk to Rory- I didn't mean any harm," he continued to giggle boyishly as he shifted his position on the bench.

"Well she's obviously bust, Luke was it?" he sniped and turned back to Rory with a sweet grin. If there was one thing that Rory knew about Tristan, was that he was always jealous of other guys Rory had in her life- like Dean.

"I can wait," he replied, obviously not preparing to move.

Whispering to Tristan, Rory said, "Just let me talk to him and get rid of him. Five minutes is all, then we have the whole afternoon to ourselves- and we can go to your place early," she smiled as a small Tristan's lips curled slightly. He nodded and gave her a quick kiss and pulled her up off the ground as he stood up.

"Okay, I'll be a the coffee shop- you're beginning to rub off on me Mary!" he smiled as he turned towards the shop and wandered away hesitantly.

Turning back to Logan, Rory was quite a bit annoyed, "What the hell is your problem- I don't even know you and you're interrupting my date!" Logan could tell she was fuming- this was definitely not a good idea. However, he played it cool and sly.

"I suppose this was a bad time- but I had a scoop for you to do a feature at the school paper, but if you're too busy," he stood up to leave knowing she would stop him.

"Wait, about what?" he was right- he always seemed to know women.

"Well, there's this club, so to speak, that I'm not in that doesn't do crazy stunts if you catch my drift!" he winked cockily knowing she'd catch on.

"I think I do- The Life and De-" he stopped her from finishing her sentence.

"We like to keep things on the down low if you don't mind! By the way- I could swing you an invite for your feature," he offered and it was too good to resist.

"What exactly would I have to do?" she asked concerned that this was going to be something she would regret.

"Oh, some secret society stuff, I can't give you details- a little fun and adventure. You look like you could use some adventure- what do you say?" he asked smirking and closing the space between them like h had a habit of doing.

"I suppose I should- when?" like a good reporter she knew what questions to ask him.

He smirked before replying, "Tomorrow night- meet me in front of the newspaper offices at midnight- later Ace!" he chided and stalked off leaving her to her thoughts.

A secret society would be good for Rory's feature- it would be a good start to the wondrous paper that she couldn't seem to write for. Sure, this was a good thing – now time to tell Tristan the good news.

"So are you going to go?" he asked sipping his coffee after hearing the details of Rory's conversation.

"I think I should- I could always use a good scoop. Besides, what harm could come from it?" she took a large gulp of her coffee and stood up showing Tristan the empty cup. "Let's go to your apartment and try the coffee there!"

"You know, a girl has never come over just to try out my coffee before," he chided and gave her a smug smile.

"Who says I'm just coming for the coffee?" she winked and left him with a stupid smile the whole ride to his apartment.

As they passed the doorman, Rory engaged him in a quick battle of wits followed by lots of laughter and a long goodbye. They waited in the elevator impatiently as they climbed the building slowly. Tristan was itching to get his hands on her and Rory was smiling nervously as the bell panged for the Penthouse suite.

"After you," he beckoned and bowed jokingly. She smiled as she left the elevator and took off her shoes as she entered the apartment.

"So what kind of coff-" Rory began but was cut off by a deep kiss from Tristan. He pulled away triumphantly and held his arms around her waist. She raised an eyebrow suggestively and quickly followed with a crash of her lips against his. Slowly they backed towards the couch as she cupped his face kneeling on the soft leather. He pulled her tighter and begged for permission into her mouth with the slight parting of his lips to hers. Gladly, she accepted and the battle of tongues began with slow, sensuous movements with each other.

Rory began to feel heated and pulled off her sweater revealing a Kelly green camisole that made her skin glow beautifully. Tristan stroked her shoulder tenderly, making Rory shiver in delight. She tugged at the bottom of his shirt, lifting it up slowly, teasing him playfully. He soon tired of her foolish game and ripped it off himself making her giggle blissfully. She ran her fingers up and down his toned chest then traced it around his abs. His stomach tensed as she did this- in return he pulled her closer and kissed her neck slowly, with long dry kisses, sucking on her skin gently. She moaned with pleasure and without thinking went straight for his belt buckle. He didn't object, but in turn went for hers. One handedly, he undid her complicated buckle with ease, whipping it off of her. She moved both of her hands down to get his off, her obvious lack of experience making this a tiring game. He noticed her persistence at his belt and merely laughed lowly at her trouble, taking matters into his own hands. He rolled her to her back, hovering over her slightly. He stared deep into her eyes, almost as if for permission. She pulled him down and kissed him deeply again, slowly starting a very eventful evening- the first night they would pursue a physical relationship, no questions asked, no comments made- just pure pleasure and happiness.
