TITLE: No Longer

PAIRING: L/L, L/D, R?

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing, just this story and the made up stuff about this show…such as Tristan Dugrey this late in the show or them getting married.

SUMMARY: Tristan divorces Rory, but fate disagrees.

'Yea, I don't think I wanna anymore.' A slow song came on. Kyle turned to Liza.

'Would you like to dance?'

'Sure.'

'And Tristan don't worry, you can meet her later tonight!' he said while walking to the dance floor.

'I never said YES!' he yelled. He gave up and got a beer from the bar.

NEXT CHAPTER

'Let's introduce them.' Kyle said as he was slow dancing with Liza.

'Definitely.' Rory was sitting at a table drinking a glass of red wine when Liza came over to her. Kyle was nowhere in sight.

Tristan was sitting at the bar when Kyle came over, and he didn't see Liza.

Rory could tell that the two were up to something. She thought about what Liza said about him. He also was divorced. Maybe that would make it easier to be with him. They both understood heartache.

Tristan could see a mischievous look on Kyle's face. He knew right away that the two of them had planned something, and his only guess was they were going to introduce the two. She had spunk, a smart-ass mouth, and was beautiful. He thought about Rory, it would only make it harder on him to be with someone so like Rory.

'Hey Rory!' Liza said smiling to widely.

'Hi.' Rory said sipping her drink,

'It's time for you to meet our friend.' Rory groaned but she pulled Rory away from her drink and her seat.

'Come on, me and liza will introduce you both. It'll be a piece of cake. Hey how about this—scratch your nose or something and I'll make up some kind of excuse to take you away from her.'

'Fine.' Tristan sighed. He followed Kyle.

'Can we make some kinda hand gesture in case I really don't wanna be there?' Rory asked desperate.

'Sure, umm what?'

'How about I scratch my nose or something and then you come up with some reason to make me leave.'

'Deal.' Liza said and Rory actually started to walk instead of being dragged. Rory and Liza got to the specified meeting spot first. She looked down and noticed that her shoe strap had twisted. She bent down to fix it.

'Almost there.' Kyle assured him.

'Goody.' Tristan sighed. They got to the meeting area. Tristan saw Liza and a brown haired girl on the floor fixing her shoe. Great…another reminder—she has brown hair! Tristan thought.

'Stand up.' Liza said. Rory fixed it and stood up with her head down. Her hair blocked Tristan's view of her face. When she leaned her head normally her hair fell back and Tristan and Rory both made little gasps and stood still. Tristan recovered first.

'Hi, I'm Tristan.' He said smoothly putting out his hand and showing a smile. That helped Rory recover also.

'Rory.' She said and shook his hand.

'Would you like to dance?' he asked her.

'Sure.' Rory followed him onto the dance floor. Kyle and Liza smiled and left, thinking their work there was done.

'Why did you ask me to dance?' Rory asked wrapping her hands around his neck as he slid his arms around her waist.

'Cause they would've been suspicious if I didn't.' Rory thought about that for a minute.

'Yea, I guess you're right.' She smiled at him. They hadn't talked about what happened the night before. They were both trying to ignore what they'd done. They danced for five whole songs straight when Rory accidentally looked Tristan in the eye. She got caught upin them as she saw pain, sadness, and longing. Tristan made the mistake of looking back, her eyes matched the emotion in his. Rory closed the distance of their bodies and Tristan closed the space between their lips. He gave her a light kiss before going back for a much more deep and passionate kiss. Kyle and Liza looked on.

'I think they know each other.' Liza said.

'No fuck!' Kyle said.

'Wait you knew?' Liza asked.

'No, but when we introduced them, did you not see their faces?'

'Okay, I'm stupid.'

Tristan's thoughts were running left and right through his brain. All he knew was he was kissing Rory Gilmore—his wife. No wait, they got divorced, Tristan came back to reality. He was kissing his ex-wife. He broke away.

'We can't do this.' He said sadly.

'I know.' She said matching his tone. He took her hand and brought her outside where they could talk.

'And last night was—'

'Amazing.' Rory finished.

'Yea, it was but Rory…we already tried it. We failed at being a couple.'

'Tristan, we never failed at being a couple, not even a married couple!'

'Then that's why we're divorced?'

'I was talking with Lane, and she told me that we were so in love it was nauseating. She's right. We may have failed at looking at the path we were creating for ourselves, but dating life can be a lot like married life.'

'When did you talk to Lane?'

'This afternoon. She just came back from her tour.'

'Oh, but just so you know dating and marriage is totally different!'

'So what...only a miracle can bring us together? Only if fate agrees?' Rory asked her tears coming.

'I never said that! But does fate really want us together?'

'Tristan, did last night not mean anything to you? Did that kiss not mean anything to you?'

'Rory, we tried.'

'No, we didn't! When it got tough we spent even MORE time apart! There were so many signs of our neglected relationship! Don't you wish we could have a second chance?'

'God Rory! Everyday, I wish we did! Everyday I wish we could just try one more time.'

'Then why did you want a divorce?'

'You wanted it to, but I just so happen to have brought it up before you. God, everyday since the day I signed those fucking divorce papers! Everyday, in fact every hour! You'd think that after I year I could move on, but I cant.' Tristan had tears threatening, as he saw Rory's already coming down.

'So it's really over?'

'Rory, it's been over!'

'I know, but the realization only just came! It only came after I went to sleep last night! Tristan whether you wanna admit it or not we're still attracted by to other.'

'You think I didn't notice that? How else do you think last night happened?'

'Tristan, I really miss you.' Rory said all of a sudden. Tristan softened his voice.

'I miss you too, but we can't be together.'

'Are you seeing some one?' Rory asked, her tone raising this time.

'No.' he said still calm.

'If we can't be together, why was it just last night we were fucking each other for hours on the floor. Or kissing tonight, or even being in the same place at the same time?'

'You don't understand.' He said quietly and sitting down on a bench in the alley.

'Then make me understand! Make me understand why we can have sex while we're divorced and still wanna make love even after that night?'

'You still wanna have sex?' Tristan asked.

'Oh, what you don't?' Rory asked.

'I never said I didn't…'

'Just answer the question.'

'Okay, I do! I still wanna have sex with you. I still wanna hold you like I did when we were happily married. I do, I still want all of that but I can't, not anymore.' He said standing up. Rory grabbed his arm and turned him around.

'No one's making you leave.' She said.

'Fate is.'

'fate is telling you to leave?'

'Yea.'

'Well, it's telling me to have sex with you right here and right now.' Rory said staring at his response. She saw a flicker of desire in his eyes and then they went cloudy.

'What are you thinking?' Rory asked.

'I thinking that this is a really bad idea but I really could give a fuck.' He said smiling and walking back to her. She took off her light sweater and made him take off his rugby shirt. He took out protection and then slid his pants down and got Rory's bottom undressed to. She stepped out of her underwear and pants and slid down Tristan's boxers. She wrapped her arms around him and jumped so he was carrying her as she wrapped her legs around his bare waist. She crushed her lips against his as he pushed her against the wall. They muffled their screams off pleasure by forcing the other's mouth on the them, making them scream their delight into each other. They finished and got dressed quickly, and went back both flushed.

'Tristan?'

'Yea?' he asked getting his breath back.

'Let's be friends, okay?' she asked pleading.

'Okay.' He smiled and kissed her gently on the lips reassuring her, and then brought her back inside, so Lane and her could leave. Tristan went back to his two friends and watched as Rory and Lane reunited and left.

'So how do you know Rory?' Kyle asked surprised.

'You know how I'm divorced?'

'Yea.' Liza answered.

'Well, let's just say, that Rory Gilmore happens to be my ex-wife.'

'So what did you do while I was performing?'

'Honestly?'

'Yes, honestly!' Lane said laughing.

'I danced with Tristan Dugrey and then had sex with him against a wall in an alley.' Lane's mouth was hanging open.

Let's just say, Rory and Tristan will be having good dreams that night, although I wouldn't be surprised if one of them had dreams that were wet.

I'll try to update Soon, and lemme know what you think! Kiki
