Chapter 8

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you

After all this time you're still with me it's true

Somehow you remain locked so deep inside

Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by

So they got up. They walked out of the house. Tristan's arm wrapped around Rory's waist. They walked around town for a little while in silence. They were just enjoying

each other's company. They both had smiles on their faces just being with each other. They finally got to the bridge when Rory always went to read or be by herself just to think. Tristan sat down with his legs hanging off. Rory sat down next to him. They still hadn't said anything to one another. Tristan looked at Rory and was watching her. She was staring out in the water. Not even noticing Tristan staring at her. She was in real deep thought. Tristan finally broke the silence.

Tristan: Hey Ror, what's wrong?

Putting two fingers under her chin making her look at him.

Rory: nothing. Just thinking.

Tristan: (His famous smirk) about me right.

Rory: Not just about you about us but of course you're in there.

Tristan: That's what I thought. So what are you really thinking about?

Rory: us. I already told you that.

Tristan: I know that. But what about us.

Rory: not really about us more about you.

Tristan: I knew it. What about me though Rory just tell me instead of stalling. Please.

Rory: how are you going to act in school? Because you are known as the King of Chilton. And I mean I'm new and everything. Everyone's probably gonna think that I'm one of your newest conquests. Tristan I don't want that. I don't want to be one of your conquests. I want to be your girlfriend.

Rory was on the verge of tears. She could feel them in her eyes. But she held them back. She wasn't looking at Tristan anymore. She was looking back into the water.

Tristan took his fingers under her chin and made her look at him.

Tristan: I don't care what everyone else says. I want to be your boyfriend. And I want you to be my girlfriend. And your not one of my conquests. Don't you trust me?

Rory: yes I trust you. And I'm happy that you want me to be your girlfriend and that you want to be my boyfriend.

Tristan: well I'm happy too.

By this time Rory was crying. Tristan wrapped his arms around her just holding her. Rory was crying into his chest. She stopped after a couple of minutes.

Rory: Tristan

Tristan: yeah.

Rory: Have you ever been in a real relationship before? I'm not trying to be mean or anything. I'm just asking.

Tristan: only once and after she broke up with me that when I took that player thing.

Rory: oh ok. Just asking. But again not to be mean but if you need help in this relationship just ask. I mean I don't know everything but I do know some things and I'm sure you do to.

Tristan: ok thanks. I know you're not trying to be mean or anything. But come one lets go and get some stuff to eat then go back to your house and watch some of your favorite movies.

Rory: Ok.

She places a soft small kiss on his lips. She stood up and left Tristan sitting there. He sat there for a minute. While Rory hid behind a tree and waited for Tristan to come by. He came by she waited for him to go by before she jumped out. She made sure she done it quietly so he wouldn't here her. She grabbed him from behind. She felt him jump a little.

Rory: got cha.

Tristan yes you did.

He pulled her in front of him and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer and tighter to him. He looked down at her and smiled. He leaned down and captured her lips in his. He moved her arms and placed his hands on her hips. And pulled her closer if that was possible. They broke away after a couple of minutes. Tristan had backed her up against a tree for support. They started walking away Tristan's arm was around her waist. She never liked it and never felt comfortable when Dean had his arm around her waist but with Tristan's she felt safe and it was comfortable.
