Chapter eleven

the morning after

It was Christmas Day at the Gilmore's back in Stars Hollow, after the kiss had occured between Rory and Tristin, and Lorelai and Rory had just opened up their presants that they had gotten each other and from friends, and Rory had also just informed her mother of the kiss.

"You kissed?" Lorelai Gilmore said, in shock.

"Yes, we kissed," Rory repeated. She had just told her Mother about her kiss-turned-major-make-out-session with Tristin on THE balcony at the Christmas party, only she hadn't mentioned where it had happened.

"You kissed?" Lorelai repeated, although this time it was in a tone that seemed delighted, rather then in shock.

"Yes, for the third time, we kissed," Rory said, for some reason immensely happy about the fact. We kissed---never before had the words sounded so amazing and so right---not with Dean, not with Jess, only with Tristin.

"Oh my god! I soooo totally knew this would happen," Lorelai said, giddy about the fact, "Luke owes me ten dollars!"

Rory smirked at her Mother, and raised an eyebrow. "You and Luke bet on when Tristin and I would kiss?"

"He said Spring Break, I said Christmas," said Lorelai.

"What was it obvious I was it THAT obvious I was warm for his form or something?" said Rory.

"Hun, you have yet to master the art of hiding attraction," said Lorelai, "I on the other hand did it for four years."

Rory chuckled, and knew the statement was true, considering how long it had taken Lorelai to come out in the open about her being in love with Luke, and how oblivious Rory had been to it.

"Okay, sit down on that couch missy, and you are telling me everything," said Lorelai, and Rory obeyed.

Her Mother was about to sit down when she added, "After I go get the hello-kitty shaped waffels I made."

"You actually used your hello-kitty waffle iron?" Rory asked amazed. "And you COOKED something?"

"Hey, not every day my baby nabs a guy with a porsche whose SO Prince Charming material and looks like a mini-Brad Pitt," said Lorelai.

Rory laughed. "I always thought he looked more like Chad Micheal Murray," she said.

"Huh. Him too," said Lorelai and then she went off to the kitchen to get said hello-kitty shaped waffles and came back in with two plates of them, both covered in syrup with butter on them, and handed one to Rory and they both promptly started eating, Rory telling the story in between, and Lorelai asking questions every now and then.

"Okay, so when was it?" Lorelai asked.

"After he dragged me away so we could give each other presants," said Rory.

"Ooooh! I knew something dirty was going to go down with you two alone," said Lorelai jokingly.

Rory rolled her eyes and said, "We went up to your room, and looked around, and he noticed the window that lead to the balcony-"

"Oh my god!" Lorelai exclaimed. "It happened on THE balcony?"

"Yes," said Rory, blushing.

"The very balcony on which you were concieved?" said Lorelai.

"Yes, Mom, THE balcony," said Rory.

"I always knew that balcony was the way to sin," said Lorelai.

Rory chuckled. "Anyway, he noticed the window that lead to the balcony, and he opened it, and climbed outside to where the balcony was, and then motioned for me to follow. He and I admitted to getting each other gifts, and he wanted me to open my gift first, and so I did, and he gave me a really beautiful book, and then it started snowing, we noticed, and we kissed."

"Oh my god! Snow is so my presant," said Lorelai, "that was my presant from the snow! You guys kissing! God, I'm good."

Rory laughed at her Mom. "So, you like him right?"

"Honey, of course I like him," said Lorelai, "he's a very wonderful guy and I'm certain he'll take good care of you and I trust him."

Rory smiled, feeling content and happy. Blissfully happy, as a matter of fact.

Thirty minutes away, in Hartford, Tristin was in his room, after having shared Christmas day with his family, telling Trinity almost exactly the same story.

"I mean-it was-it was amazing," said Tristin, "it was the sweetest, most romantic most-"

"Hey, I thought I WAS the girl in the room," Trinity joked.

Tristin rolled his eyes at his sibling. "Sorry," he said, "its just----I can't get over it. I KISSED Rory Gilmore and she didn't run away."

Trinity simply smiled. "You're in love," she said.

"I'm not in love," said Tristin, and then he frowned, "am I in love? I don't know. I mean, it was a pretty damn amazing feeling when we kissed."

"You're in love," Trinity said, as though it were final.

"Wow," said Tristin, "I'm in love."

"So, what now?" said Trinity. "You want to run off to Las Vegas with the girl or something?"

Tristin chuckled. "I don't know," he said, "I guess a date would be good, right? I mean, we talked afterwards and established that we are boyfriend and girlfriend. So, dating would be the next step?"

"Unless you want to move straight to the sex..."

"Trit!" Tristin said, giving his sister a warning look. Really, wasn't SHE suppossed to be the older sibling?

"Kidding, kidding," said Trinity, "calm down. Yes, Tris, a date would be the next logical step."

"Okay," said Tristin, "so I'm going to go call her and ask her out on a date."

"Okay," said Trinity, remaining seated on the bed where she had been.

Tristin looked at her, and said, "And I kind of need to do it without my big sister in the room."

Trinity simply smirked, and said, "Good luck, little brother," and with that she got up and left the room.

Tristin picked up the phone and dialed the Gilmore girls's number. The phone was answered, and there was a tad bit of giggling in the background.

"Hello, Lorelai's sex parlor, how are you and what sexual pleasures would you like me to perform today for you?" Lorelai said into the phone.

Tristin laughed. "Sorry, I don't have sex with older women," said Tristin, "but I would like to talk to your daughter, who happens to be my girlfriend, Lor."

Lorelai chuckled. "Girlfriend! You said Girlfriend in reference to Rory! It just makes me so damn giddy," said Lorelai.

Tristin laughed and said, "I never will understand you, will I?"

"No, but that's one of my charms," said Lorelai, and then he heard her call, "Rory! You're Sex toy's on the phone!"

"Mom, he's not my sex toy!" Tristin heard Rory call and he couldn't help but chuckle. She picked up the phone.

"Hey, sorry about that," said Rory, "its christmas and she's extra crazy."

"No problem," said Tristin, "I think I'm used to it by now."

"Really? Well could you let me in on your secret? Because I've lived with her my entire life and I still can't get used to it," Rory joked.

He laughed again. He'd been doing that a lot since last night. "Sure," said Tristin, "so, Mary, I was wondering...would you like to go on a date with me sometime this week?"

"Well," said Rory, "Mary wouldn't, but Rory would."

Tristin smirked. "Smart ass," he said.

"Oh, you know you find it attractive," said Rory.

"That I do," said Tristin, "so, when should we have said date?"

"Soon," said Rory.

"Agreed," said Tristin.

"I'll call you and let you know when I'm free," she said.

"Okay, so, its a date?" Tristin said.

"Its a date," Rory said.

With that, the two hung up the phone, both feeling happier then they had in a long time.
