Smile1 and OMARION- thanks bunches!
QuEEnSeRb716- Glad you enjoyed it Norman. Yes, the (readdyspoon) was necessary
Blondiegrl- Hmm….. dean coming back…. That may work. Muahahah!
Amanda and Callista NicTeryn- Thanks!
CarleyMarie- I absolutely adore Rory and Tristan. Why Amy-Sherman Palladino let him leave, I just don't know. But then again, we wouldn't have One Tree Hill, and the perfect couple Chad Michael Murray, and Sophia Bush. But Logan and Rory. A couple made in heaven ::sighs::
Turkiesrcool- Yea, well No Doubt I definetly think Rory would have. Oasis too. But the ones Tristan picked out? Lets just say he listened to them off of the internet.
A/N- Ok, ok. You all probably want to kill me. It's been almost a month. But that test was brutal. And then I had 8 scholarships to fill out. Pointless essays on top of pointless essays. Why do I want to attend your school? Hmm…. LoL. Plus, I had a major writer's block. But I'm back. Yay! But anywho, I babysat last night and I was thinking about all my poor, loyal reviewers, while changing a diaper. Odd moment, yes, but I live for randomness. OMG, has any of you guys seen The Five People You Meet In Heaven. That was the most amazing movie I have ever seen in my entire life. WATCH IT!!!
Oh, and the title comes from that one Blink-182 song, First Date
Chapter 7- Is it cool if I hold your hand?
Tristan and Rory had talked all night long, and fell asleep in the early morning. Rory was half-off the couch, and her torso was flat on Tristan's knee. Tristan's legs were in a V position, and his head was bent oddly on the couch.
Tristan woke up and immediately felt a searing pain in his knee. Then he saw how uncomfortably his leg was laying, and that Rory was on it. As much as he loved to see her sleeping peacefully, he couldn't stand the pain he was in. "Ror," he gave her a nudge. She just readjusted herself. "Rory, I've got coffee."
Rory sat up, "Where? Where is it? Come on, give it!" Rory looked around. "You don't have any, do you?"
"Nope." Tristan said relieved as she got off of his knee.
"No fair. Oh, oww… my back." Rory moaned.
"You need a massage?" Tristan asked.
"Pretty please, and I'll give you a neck massage." Rory wavered.
"Deal." Tristan agreed. Rory lied down and Tristan sweetly massaged up and down her back. Then he heard a crack.
"Ahh, pain all gone." Rory smiled. Tristan gave her back a small kiss, and then he sat Indian style, his back facing Rory.
Rory took her hands and massaged Tristan's neck. He felt almost immediately soothed at her touch. Rory kissed his neck, and he felt that if he died at that very moment, he would have died a very happy man.
"So, what do you want to do?" Rory moved so she was facing him.
"Well Miss Gilmore, I was wondering if I could escort you on a date tonight?" Tristan asked.
"Why of course Mr. Dugrey, but where?" Rory accepted.
"You'll see." Tristan replied.
"Oh whatever will I do with you?" Rory asked, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I've got the perfect punishment." Rory leaned in to give him a small peck, but when she went to pull away, Tristan put his hand on the small of her back, and pulled her towards him. Rory's mind was screaming 'No! Stop!' but Rory was ignoring her mind, and went with her heart.
Rory broke away and leaned her forehead against his. "Now I know you would love to do this all day, but I have a class at 2. Plus, Professor Levy gave me 50 million things of homework to do, and I have 1 million left."
"But that makes me sad." Tristan pouted.
"I'll make it up to you." Rory said.
"Promise?" Tristan asked.
"I promise." Rory said. "Now, go make all the plans for our first date. Wow, I love saying that!"
"Me too, now go! I have some serious think-er, planning to do." Tristan said.
"Ok, bye." Rory waved and shut the door behind her. Tristan slumped back on the couch. What was he going to do? Dinner and a movie? Well, nah, too traditional. Well, yea he was going to do dinner and a movie, but it has to be more then that. Hmm… what does she love? Coffee, Luke's coffee. Dinner at Luke's, and umm… Willy Wonka. Movie night! That's it! He would call Lorelai, and ask her if he could use her house for the movie night, and he would bring her classics with him, and some others. He had to get planning now. Tristan got changed, grabbed his keys, and was out the door.
When Rory came home, she saw Tristan wasn't. She smiled, knowing he was planning the date. Rory put her books down and tried to think of what to do. She decided to make coffee and read Chapter 3 of her book for Professor Levy's class.
Rory heard the shrill of her coffee maker, and walked over to the counter. She got out a big mug, and poured in the steaming liquid. Rory sat back down and went back to reading.
Rory didn't hear Tristan come in and was startled when he put his hands on her shoulders. "Holy crap Tristan! What was that?"
"Just making my presence known." Tristan shrugged. "So, all plans are made, and I will pick you up at 7."
"I'll be here." Rory smiled, and then looked over at the clock. "Oh my God, it's 5:30! I can't believe you gave me only an hour and a half to get ready. You better be late!"
"Sorry, well get ready now." Tristan urged and Rory shot him a look.
Rory went into her room, and tried to think of what to wear. Wait, a second, was this casual or formal? She didn't know! Rory ran and knocked on Tristan's door. "Formal or casual?"
"What?" Tristan asked.
"Our date, casual, formal, semi-formal." Rory asked.
"Most definitely casual." Tristan replied, leaning against his doorframe.
"Thanks." Rory kissed his cheek, and rain into her room. She went to heat up her curling iron, and then ran to her closet. She sat on the floor, and searched for what to wear. Then, she spotted her light sandblasted Express Jeans with the tags still on. Next to it was her white camisole and rose pink tweed blazer with a fake pink rose on the corner. Rory took those off her rack and laid them on her bed. She then walked to her curling iron, and softly curled her brunette locks. She then applied mascara and soft pink lip gloss. Rory put her outfit on, and smoothed it over. She got items for her "clutch" together. Her small hair brush, her lip gloss, City of Light, and a five dollar bill.
Just then she heard a knock. Rory glanced at the clock. The red digital numbers 7:03 glared back. Rory walked over to the door. "3 minutes late smartass."
"You told me to be late. You never specified." Tristan replied.
"Sorry, lets try this again." Rory apologized and shut the door. Rory let Tristan knock again. "Why hello Mr. Dugrey."
"Hello Mary, ready to go." Tristan asked, linking his arm with hers.
"Yes I am." Rory and Tristan both walked out the door.
"Oops, one more thing. Turn around." Tristan added. Rory did as instructed and soon felt a cool cloth over her eyes. It was pitch black.
"Tristan!" Rory exclaimed.
"It's a surprise. Don't worry, you won't fall down stairs or anything." Tristan grinned.
"That's what I'm afraid of." Rory muttered. Rory was led into his car and she crossed her arms. "Can you at least put good music on? No Offspring this time." Rory teased.
"Ok." Tristan pressed a button, and out blasted The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army"
"Finally, some good music!" Rory yelled. She bopped her head along to the music. About 20 minutes later, the music no longer amused her.
"Are we there yet?" she whined.
"Almost." Tristan said. He had a feeling she would ask again.
"Are we there now?" Rory asked.
"No Rory. Don't ask again." Tristan informed her.
"Fine," Rory huffed. She sat back in her seat, and then heard Tristan stop the car. "You stopped? Ooh, we're here!"
Tristan laughed and went to her side of the car. "I'll take it off when we get inside." He carefully led her inside and took off the blindfold.
"It's Luke's." Rory smiled. "Wow, you are perfect."
"Come on, our table's over here." Tristan led to a table decorated with red roses.
"It's beautiful." Rory snuggled into him. They slid into one booth and Luke walked over.
"Coffee?" Luke held up a pot.
"Please." The two said.
"Alright you guys, uh, ready to order?" Luke asked.
"The usual." Rory replied.
"And you Tristan." Luke turned to face him.
"I'll have what she's having-"
"Luke!" Kirk exclaimed.
"What now Kirk?" Luke groaned.
"Will you decorate my table with daffodils tomorrow? Roses make me itch." Kirk said.
"No Kirk." Luke replied.
" But you decorate their table. Favoritism amongst customers isn't nice." Kirk pointed out.
"He decorated it for his date, ok Kirk? Just go." Luke huffed.
"Fine." Kirk slammed the door behind him.
"So what did you want again Tristan?" Luke asked.
"Whatever Rory's having." Tristan replied.
"You're kidding, right?" Luke laughed.
"Uh-no." Tristan said.
"Ha… good luck." Luke just chuckled as he went back to the kitchen.
"Umm, are you sure you don't wanna change your order?" Rory asked.
"Yea." Tristan replied.
"Well, it's a lot of food." Rory explained.
"I can handle it." Tristan assured her.
"Well I'm praying for your soul. You'll be stuffed to death." Rory sighed.
" Don't worry, I'll be fine." Tristan informed her.
"Ooh! First course." Rory jerked her head towards Luke.
"Bring it on sister." Tristan told her. Tristan saw a plate of a hamburger and fries. This is easy, Tristan thought.
One hour, 4 plates, and 8 cups of coffee later, Tristan couldn't take much more. Rory just kept on eating. He was amazed at her intake.
"You ok Tristan?" Rory wondered.
"Yea don't worry, I'm fine. So, lets go to our next part." Tristan groaned as he got up.
"Am I going to be blindfolded?" Rory asked.
"You betcha." Tristan grinned. He took the blindfold out, put it on her, and led her out the door.
"Ooh Rory doll!" she heard Miss Patty call.
"Take the blindfold off." Rory told him.
"What…" Tristan said.
"Just do it." Rory muttered. He did as told.
"Miss Patty! Hey!" Rory said happily.
"Hello dear, and who is this fine young gentleman?" Miss Patty flirted.
"This is Tristan." Rory replied.
"He's a keeper, but if you ever dump him…"
"I know where to send him." Rory finished. Miss Patty bid her good-byes, and flounced off.
"Ok, blindfold me." Rory ordered.
"So kinky." Tristan wiggled his eyebrows.
"Shut it Tristan." Rory sighed.
