Title: Heaven and Hell, combined in one holiday
Summary: Rory and Tristan are friends. Best friends. Once they decide to take a trip together everything changes.
Disclaimer: I got this gorgeous poster of Chad in my room. I fear that's as close as I'll ever be to having the real thing, which sadly is owned by Sophia Bush.
Last Chapter:
Tristan woke up to faint sobbing in the middle of the night. He wanted to push himself up but noticed that the airbed had gone flat. Which obviously was the reason that there was a crying girl on the floor, who occasionally rubbed her back. He shifted over to her side and took her in his arms, cradling her and rubbing her back until she leaned against him.
"Still got that backache?"
She nodded, whincing with pain when she moved.
His mind quickly tried to find options. They could sleep in the car. They could find a hotel. Both options were discarded. The car would leave her with an even worse backache than she already had, and he knew hotels in this area wouldn't let people in after midnight. The only other option he had left was one he knew she wouldn't be comfortable with.
"Okay...listen...this is what we're going to do"
He calmly explained the situation to her, making sure that his usual flirting tone was nowhere to be found, this way ensuring that she would get as comfortable as possible.
When he told her that the only option they had was for her to climb on top of him, her eyes got bigger and her face grew red. He took her hand, forcing her to look up at him, and looked at her with eyes that for once in his life didn't try to seduce her. Her doubts faded a little when she saw that he wouldn't take advantage of her in this situation, that he really only did this so she wouldn't be feeling sore in the morning. So in the end she accepted, her elbow nearly hitting a very sensitive spot when she made herself comfortable on top of him. It took her a few minutes to relax against him, but when she did she felt a weird tingly feeling in her stomach. It felt nice to be held like this. Especially to be held like this by him.
After a while, she fell asleep in his arms, and for another while he just looked at her, content with just having her in his arms as his friend. For now it was all he wanted. He vowed to himself that, whatever it had been that made her angry with him, he wouldn't do it again. The remaining days of this holiday he would spend making her happy, so she would always be carrying that same sweet smile she was now wearing in her sleep.
Chapter 4:
"Morning sleepyhead"
Rory smiled when she looked at her best friend. He looked so adorable with his hair all tousled and those sleepy eyes. Almost like a little innocent boy. The way her body reacted to his nearness had nothing to do with innocence though. She didn't know his morning arousal was just physical, and assumed it had to do with her lying on top of him, so she tried to get of off him as soon as possible. That's when she noticed two strong arms holding her. It wasn't like he was crushing her, but he seemed destined not to let go of her that easily.
"Tris..."
"Yes Mary?"
His lips curved up in a smirk when he noticed her uncomfort. Deciding not to make matters worse, he suppressed the urge to grind his groin into hers, knowing that she would most probably freak out.
"We're awake now. I don't have to be on top of you anymore."
His eyes twinkled.
"Why Mary, all you had to do was ask"
He quickly flipped her over, so her back was now pressed against the cold ground. His hands kept her from touching the ground completely, so instead of her back his flesh was feeling the tiny rocks piercing through the fabric of the tent. He made himself comfortable between her legs, but still kept his distance. She was always a game. A flirt. He never went too far and she never let him. They were friends. He would make moves, and she would blush and avert her gaze, giving him enough satisfaction to let it slip.
Neither of them expected things to change. Rory acting brave and making a move? Tristan taking it too seriously and kissing her? That would never happen.
"Funny Tristan...now come on..."
She tried to push him away, and for one second he made her believe she could. Then he captured her hands and put them around his neck.
"That's more comfortable"
He knew she was going to roll her eyes before it happened, and grinned.
"You wound me Mare"
He put his hand to his heart, the other still holding her tiny frame in fear of her hurting her back to the stony ground.
"Nothing could ever hurt your ego DuGrey"
"Like what you see?"
"This is so beautiful!"
Rory couldn't stop looking at all the lights. When Tristan had told her that their next destination was a surprise she wasn't amused. Knowing him they would probably end up at a city with a red light district. But she had underestimated him. Somehow he was really sweet, and determined to make her holiday a pleasant one.
"I wanna go in this! And in that! And ow look! They've even got little twirling coffeecups!"
She grabbed his hand, not even noticing that she did, and pulled him towards the entrance of an attraction. Thanks to the doorpasses they had bought they were allowed to go in every attraction as many times as they wanted.
"How did you know this existed?"
"Tivoli? Heard it from one of my dads associates"
Rory smiled before sitting down in a small –Tristan would call it cozy – seat. They were at Kopenhagen, in Tivoli, an amazing amusementpark, especially when it was night like it was now. She wondered if they would ever have enough time to try all the rides.
After they finished their first ride Rory grabbed Tristans hand again, pulling him from one attraction to the next. They had gone on at least ten rides when Tristan finally managed to convince her that they needed a break.
"Feeling sick Tris?"
She giggled while sitting down on a bench next to him.
"Nope Mare...just overwhelmed...I never knew you had that much strength in you"
His eyes turned darker when he looked at her.
"Or that much spirit...it's appealing...quite frankly...it makes me think of us taking some other rides"
He winked.
If it had been the rides, the lights, the darkness or the romance of it all, Rory didn't know. She just forgot to blush and avert her eyes and kept staring at him. His eyes grew darker with every second they stared at eachother, lust and desire swirling in them. He looked at her like he had never looked at her before, at least not when she had seen it. Taking a brave step she scooted closer towards him, shooting him an innocent look.
"You think I'm sexy?"
He hissed when she put her hand on his cheek, her thumb carressing the outline of his jaw before moving to touch his lips.
"Hell yeah"
His voice sounded hoarse, something she found amusing. How was it possible that she had such an effect on him? He was a player, a rich boy, someone every girl wanted and fought for. Someone every girl tried to get. Why would he be turned on by her? Someone who never even dared of thinking about him in that direction?
Maybe he was just faking it. She suddenly stood up, walked a few steps away from him. Maybe he really was the player everyone assumed him to be. Maybe he had wanted to play her all along and her shyness had really been the only reason he hadn't succeeded yet. Maybe by being this daring she had unconsciously confirmed that he could have her, and now he would be more determined to make her one of his many conquests.
Tristan didn't understand what was wrong. One second Rory was almost pressed up to him and the next she tried to dissapear in the crowd. Away from where they were.
Who was he kidding. She was trying to get away from him. For some reason, one he couldn't understand because he couldn't read her mind, she had changed her mind, and instead of playing brave naughty girl she decided to shy away again.
He stood up and sighed. The night he had imagined himself to be the most special night of their whole holiday, had suddenly turned into one of the worst.
