Chapter 10- Rain

Rory had a great day at school on Friday. She knew the way to all her classes and at the end of the day English.

She walked in to the classroom; Tristan was already in his seat. He looked up at her as she walked in and smiled; when she got closer he winked at her, a blush rose under her eyelashes.

"Hey Mary, do anything interesting yesterday? You weren't in class?" He teased

"I don't know"

"What d'you mean you don't know?" he questioned.

"Well it's only interesting if there's a chance it will be repeated." She told him.

"That can defiantly be arranged" he told her with a grin.

She smiled, and they got on with the project.

After the bell rang for the end of the day, she and Tristan walked to the doors together, it was pouring with rain. "How're you getting home?" he asked Rory.

"The bus" she replied

"Not in this weather you're not, I'll give you a lift" it wasn't an offer it was an order. They ran to his silver Jag.

"Nice car." Rory commented once she was safely in the passenger seat. She buckled up.

"Your such a Mary" Tristan said when he saw this.

"My brother's in a coma from a car accident, you really think I want to end up the same?" she asked turning slightly angry.

"No, of course not, sorry" he said gently and squeezed her hand before putting his own seatbelt on and driving off. "So, what are the plans for tonight?" he asked, not taking his eyes from the gloomy rain swept road.

"Well the town meeting starts at five so there's no point going home if you want to see some small town theatre. We're meeting my mum and Raichelle there and afterwards to my house we're watching Charlie and the chocolate factory- the original and then the breakfast club and if there's enough time Happy Gilmore, the name made it a favourite, my moms maiden name was Gilmore." She explained

"Wow, you have it all planned," he said

"Well me and my mom do this every week, we're not really welcomed at my dad's parents place and he goes there for dinner on Friday's and he usually stays there too late to come home so instead we watch movies and eat as much junk food as is possible before we throw up, then go to sleep completely content, if a little sugar hyped."

Tristan smiled "So you and your mom are close then?" He asked

"Some would say that's an understatement," she told him as he pulled into her driveway. Tristan laughed. "Well we have an hour left before the town meeting" she said, then grinned "and I don't feel like going out in that" she gestured towards the rain outside "So what do you suggest we do to occupy ourselves?" she asked teasingly.

"Oh I can think of a few things," he said with a smirk

"Yeah me too" Rory replied leaning in against his chest.

Tristan didn't waste any time after that, he wrapped his arms gently around Rory waist and kissed her, gently at first, testing, teasing. He fought a private battle with his self-constraint and lost, when this happened he ran the tip of his tongue lightly across her bottom lip, as if asking permission to deepen the kiss. Rory gladly complied and kissed him back not holding back any emotion, allowing herself to become totally lost in him.

They became so lost in fact that when they broke apart in what seemed to them like a minute was actually 50. Rory jumped when she saw the clock." We have ten minutes to get to the town hall" she said slightly panicked. Tristan tried to pull out of the drive, but couldn't.

"Damn god bloody small town dirt paths. The rains got the car stuck, we'll have to make a run for it. They got out of the car, and ran, full pelt, hand in hand towards the town meeting.

And that's how 11 minutes later… They stumbled into the meeting 2 minutes late, soaking wet. Lorelai and Raichelle were sat near the back they snuck in trying to look inconspicuous but….

"I hope you have a good excuse for being so late Miss Hayden?" Tailor had spotter them, just what they needed, he began his routine lecture about late comers interrupting the meeting. Rory had heard it much over the years.

"You're kidding me, right?" Tristan asked, obviously amused, as they took their seats.

"The theatre has commenced." She muttered back.

Later as Luke and Tailor argued about something to do with the price of almond toast, Lorelai whispered in Rory's ear, loud enough for only Rory to hear "He's right you'd better have a good excuse, and I want details, you didn't mention how hot he was"

Ok so once again not a very long chapter but I like to keep them short and sweet, there may be two chapters tomorrow, depends how good the reviews are, so don't waste any time I love hearing your comments.
