After school

Rory

The rest of the day seemed to go by real slow. I kept thinking about Tristan and how we haven't talked about the kiss yet. I don't want to mention it because there is a lot on his mind already. I know that offering to help him with school will lead me to spend more time with the guy that makes me question my relationship with Dean…but Lane is right. I need to sort my feelings out. There's something about him that makes me want to get to know him more. Plus, he's my friend. One of my only friends here at Chilton. Helping friends is a good thing to do. Even if said friend is cute, charming and might just turn my world around.

I don't really know how good of a tutor I would be to Tristan since I can't seem to concentrate on school myself.

"Are you ready to go?" Tristan said, interrupting my thoughts.

"Yeah." I said, taking out the books I needed from my locker.

"Here, let me carry your books."

I handed him my books and he carried them with ease.

We got to his silver Jaguar coupe and he opened the passenger door for me.

"Thanks." I mumbled and then got in the car.

It seems I've seem so many different sides of Tristan this week- charming Tristan, egotistical Tristan, coffee-giving Tristan, upset Tristan and now gentleman Tristan.

He started the car and music blasted…

I wanna see you out that door.

Baby, bye, bye, bye

He quickly turned off the radio then he looked at me, his cheeks turning red. "It's my sister's. She likes N'sync."

"I thought you were the only child." I said, trying to suppress a laugh.

He didn't respond.

"I can't believe you like N'sync. I could sooo blackmail you for this. Let's see what do I want…some new books, endless supply of coffee…"

Then suddenly his lips descended on mine for a slow, tender kiss. The kiss deepened and it seemed like nothing else existed except for him and me.

Tristan

I pulled away, knowing that if I didn't stop now I might never be able to.

I looked at her. Her blue eyes were looking at me with a mixture of shock and desire.

"I thought that might shut you up." I grinned. "Kissing you has been on my mind for quite sometime now. You taste sweet, like strawberries and honey."

"You…uh… taste quite good yourself." She replied, rather awkwardly.

I smiled. "It seems that I finally have Rory Gilmore at a loss for words." Then I drove away from the school parking lot.

A.N. Another kiss! I don't really plan these things; they just pop in my head. It's a short chapter but the next one is coming real soon. Thanks for the reviews- smile1, itsmeterri, twinkletoes2, Missy12, lol, mandie, Chelle5 and juvenile delinquent! I was sooo happy. I hoped you liked this chapter. I was kinda suffering from writer's block.
