"Hey, Luke." Lorelai said. "The usual?" Luke asked. "Yep coffee and a donut please!" Lorelai said sounding hungry. "So Rory, are you feeling better about Logan?" Luke asked gently. It had been a week since she and Logan had broken up, but surprisingly she didn't feel sad. "I'm fine." I said not revealing too much of how I feel. "Good, cause I was getting worried about you last week. You didn't have coffee for 4 whole days." Luke said. "And having Lorelai as a mother, well you just have to like coffee." He continued. "Yeah, I don't know why but I just didn't feel like drinking it." I said. "Who would ever not feel like drinking coffee?" Lorelai said. I rolled my eyes at her. "Don't roll your eyes at me you, you, coffee hater!" she said to me. We all laughed. All of a sudden I heard my cell phone ringing. "No cell phones in the diner." Luke said already getting annoyed.
I went outside and answered my phone. "Hello, Rory?" I heard someone say. "Hello." I said wondering who it was. "Hey, it's Triston." He said. "TRISTON!" I yelled. Everyone looked at me. "SSHH!" He told me. "Sorry. What are you doing calling me?" I asked him, confused. "Wait," I said before he could answer my question. "How did you get my cell phone number?" I asked him. "Louise and Madelyn." He said. "Oh." I said calming down. "Anyway I am in town for the week and I need a place to stay. I was wondering if I could stay at Lorelai's place. He asked. "Well I think that would be okay, but I'm gonna have to discuss it with her first." I told him. "Sure that would be fine." He said. "How about I give you my number and you call me back after you talk with her." He said. "Sounds good." I said. "Well, my number is 560-8867." Triston said. "Okay talk to you later." I said hanging up.
I went back into the diner and sat back down. "So, who was it?" Lorelai asked. "Triston." I said. "Triston? You mean that guy that made Dean jealous?" Lorelai asked. "Yeah, that's him. He wants to know if he can stay at your house for the next week." I told her. "I guess we have an extra room." Lorelai said. "Since you aren't staying there anymore." She said. "Would it bug you if I said he could stay for the week?" Lorelai asked. "Well, I don't know. I guess I don't care." I said not thinking. "Okay, then I think he should stay with me." She said. "Okay I will call him back when we get home then." We said good-bye to Luke and got into our car. It took five minutes to get back because the traffic wasn't bad.
Once we got home and started to snack on some crackers Lorelai said, "Call him." I picked the phone up and dialed 5-6-0-8-8-6-7. Ring, Ring, Ring. "Hello? Who is this?" Triston asked. "Hi it's Rory." I said. "Oh, hi. Have you talked to your mom about me staying there?" He asked. "Yeah, she said it would be okay." I said. "Cool. Well I need someplace to stay tomorrow. So why don't I drop my stuff off tomorrow around 2:00?" Triston asked. "Sounds, good." I told him. "Bye." He said. "See ya." I said back.
Ding-Dong! I heard the doorbell ring. I ran to get it. I opened the door. "Hey, Rory." Triston said. "Hi." I said surprised by how handsome he looked. "Can I come in?" He asked. "Oh, yeah, sure." I said holding the door open wider. We went to the living room and sat down. My mom came in and asked him if he would like any coffee. "No thanks." He replied. "So," I started. "How was military school?" I finished remembering how he had to drop out of school. "Awful." He said. "Everyone was so strict. I'm so glad I got out of there." He said. "So, where are you going to college?" I asked. "Princeton." He said. "Nice, Rory might've gone there if she hadn't chosen Yale." Lorelai said. There was a moment of silence then, "Hey, Rory? Can I talk to you about something?" He asked me. "Sure." I said. "I mean privately." He said. "Okay you want to talk in the kitchen?" I asked suspiciously. We walked into the kitchen.
"I wanted to tell you that I think I am still in love with you." He said. "Before you say anything just let me do something." He said. Then he kissed me. "Wait, Triston stop." I said pushing him away. "Rory, I've changed. Believe me. I'm not like I used to be." He said begging. "Please just give me a chance." He said. "How have you changed, Triston?" I asked him. "If you don't want me here I will go somewhere else, but Rory I really like you." He said. "You mean if I had a boyfriend right now you would just go away?" I asked him. "Sure whatever you want. I want you to be happy." He said sweetly. Maybe he has changed I thought. Maybe he's not like he used to be. "I'll tell you what Triston, I give you 1 chance." I then kissed him.
