Lost In You
Chapter 3: Dance Fever
The 8 friends were all gathered in the Hartford community hall deciding upon decorations and table arrangements for the upcoming Christmas Dinner. The Christmas Dinner was annually held for all the families of children who attended Chilton, the whole affair was, however rather pompous. Decorations would always be unnecessary lavish and swarms of kitchen staff, waiters and concierge were hired just for the occasion. It was Hartford's way of beginning the Christmas week with a bang.
"Tell me again why we volunteered to do this?" Colin asked the group.
"C'mon Colin, who could do a better job than us?" Finn replied.
"Good point. So what do you want us to do girls?" Finn turned facing the girls who were standing in a tight circle behind the boys.
"Leave?" Paris answered dryly.
"Ouch," Finn lifted his hand and placed it on his heart, and dramatically tilted back his head.
Everyone laughed besides Paris who just grimaced and averted her attention back to straightening the table cloth on the table behind her.
"Finn, Colin can you help us move some tables around?" Louise asked as she was joined by Madeline at her side.
"Sure," They replied in unison.
And with that Tristan, Rory, Logan and Paris were left standing in silence.
"We're gunna go find something to do then," Tristan said finally breaking the silence.
Once the two boys had departed Paris then turned to Rory.
"Can you believe Colin? He's so pretentious,"
Rory laughed.
"You should go to the dance with him, you two would be cute," Rory smiled at her teasingly.
"Rory!" She replied slapping her friend lightly on the arm.
"Hey! You and I both know there's something hidden in the relationship, and don't go denying it," Rory defended herself as she sat down on a nearby chair whilst Paris sat facing her.
"Hypothetically, do you think friends can be more than just friends?" Paris finally asked after some silence.
"Huh?" Rory asked guiltily.
"I mean, would there be a friendship if it didn't work? I mean if two friends decided to be more, but didn't work…" She trailed off, realizing that she wasn't making sense.
"Paris you're a great girl what guy wouldn't want to make it work with you?"
"What if he wasn't the type to settle down?" Paris wondered, seeming to be talking to herself aloud now.
"It only takes one girl to change a guy," And with that last comment Rory was suddenly reminded with thoughts of Tristan last night after he had left.
She loved it when they were more 'coupley' than friendly, she wanted to be more than friends, but he wasn't the type to settle down either. What was she thinking when she decided to sleep with him that night, there life wasn't a fairy-tale; playboys don't change their ways and fall head over heels for book-worms.
At that moment across the room, Tristan looked over at Rory who was seated at a table with Paris, both were looking off into the distance, obviously deep in thought.
"Do you think I should ask Rory to the dinner?" He wondered aloud.
"Who else would you ask?" Logan asked confused.
"I dunno. I mean I could ask anyone right?"
"Conceited man; but yeah ask Rory's she'd look hot in anything," Logan looked over in Rory's direction.
"You think?" He asked quietly, feeling a pang of jealousy.
Logan didn't hear Tristan's last comment and turned back to Louise and Madeline who were folding napkins.
Rory was sprawled out on her bed; book in hand with headphones in her ears. She was lost in the world of Wuthering Heights when her phone received a text message. She paused the song and picked up the message. It was from Tristan: Wanna come over tonight? Rory frowned was this a booty call? She replied back with: I'm not sure; I've got homework due on Monday. Soon after she received the reply: I'll be there in ten minutes, meet you on the step. Rory smiled and put down the book, he always had a way of convincing her to do things.
Ten minutes had passed and, like clockwork, Tristan pulled up out the front. Rory was already waiting on the step with an overnight bag in hand. He opened the door and smiled.
"Hop in,"
Rory sat down in the passenger seat and began to wonder if she should have agreed to come. What if it happens again? I mean I want sex to involve love and be like poetry and casual sex sure isn't any of that, but then again Tristan doesn't envelope the idea of love or poetry either and I've slept with him before. She was so confused. Before she knew it they were pulling into the circular driveway of Tristan's home.
Rory entered the familiar house and followed Tristan up the stairs into his bedroom.
Tristan looked over at his bedside clock which read 2:00. He sighed he hadn't got a wink of sleep. The night had been great. Like usual, he and Rory had spent the night watching DVD's, eating ridiculous amounts of candy and finally falling asleep, well one of them had managed to carry out the former activity anyway. Tristan looked down at the girl who was fast asleep on the pillow beside him. He'd slept with plenty of girls, and never felt anything, so why then did he feel something deeper for Rory? Maybe she wasn't any girl, he had 'de-flowered' her, that had to mean something. Rory wasn't like most of other girls who enjoyed Tristan's company, she wouldn't just sleep with any guy, she was a girl who had probably imagined it to involve softly lit candles and classical music but instead she had settled for her bedroom. Tristan settled back into the pillow and smiled, for now he was just going to enjoy what they had. He placed his hand on her hip and smiled, suddenly his hand was touched and Rory entwined her fingers with his. Little did they know; they both fell asleep with grins from ear to ear.
Rory woke up before Tristan the next morning and has decided upon a plan of attack, if you can't beat 'em join 'em. Rory wanted to be dangerous and live life on the edge a little and not be so conservative all the time, so the moment Tristan awoke she began talking.
"Look, last night I was thinking that I should tell you what it was that was bugging me and I couldn't decide but then this morning I realized that I was overanalyzing. What we done the other night was unexpected for both of us, but I mean who says we can't go ahead with what we've already done?"
A/N: Ok I'm sorry I had to end it like this, but it's taken me ages to just post this, and I wanted to post so bad! By the way I have really big exams happening in the next few months so updates won't be as regular and I apologize in advance, but updates will be posted regularly after the exams! Sorry!
BACKGROUND OF CHARACTERS
Tristan Dugrey – Son of prominent parents in Hartford. Chilton playboy who has yet to find a girl he wishes to remain steady with, that is until he starts to notice Rory more. Rory and Tristan have been friends since the start of high school; however the friendship started to develop into a best friend type relationship as they begin their senior years. Tristan's appearance hasn't altered from that shown in Gilmore Girls.
Rory Hayden – Daughter of prominent lawyer and trophy wife in Hartford. Rory is still quiet and remains dedicated to her studies. But instead she is more involved in the social side of school, that she in the show. Dean was never her boyfriend. Rory's appearance also has not altered from that which we are all accustomed too.
Lorelai Hayden – Mother of Rory. (Huge controversy with the description of her being 'a trophy wife') But the inclusion of this comment was necessary as it allows for Rory's home life to be more free and unwelcoming. I thought that with Lorelai being different to what readers are used to, it would allow for my story to stand out from all the other. Although I am hoping to allow her to become more involved with the story, if reviews persist.
Chris Hayden –Lawyer and Father of Rory. Spends most of his time overseas dealing with business and is not included much in my story.
Louise, Madeline and Paris – Are all per the characters in Gilmore Girls.
Colin, Finn and Logan – As I am an Aussie I haven't yet seen the new episodes of Gilmore Girls and Colin, Finn and Logan are therefore figments of my imagination, whose personalities I have sort of created from reading other stories.
Jess and Luke – At the moment I'm not sure if they will be included in the story, but keep reading and you might find them included!
A/N: Hope this helps you all understand the characters in the story a lot better, and I apologize for the long time it took me to finally follow through with doing this.
