Disclaimer: same as the last three chapters.
The night passed as the last one. Uneventful. We got to the hotel and got ready for bed. We woke up and got ready for the day. Oh, but I did get a bunch of phone calls from Katie.
"I found this flyer for this place where you pay like 20 dollars to eat all the scones you want and drink a bunch of tea. We are so going for breakfast!"
"Scones! That sounds great! Maybe they're as good a Sookie's!"
"No one makes scones like Sookie!"
"Your right but they could be good still!"
"So what are we standing here for?"
"Let's go then!"
We left the room and headed to "the scone palace" as mom calls it. On the way, I got a phone call. I picked it up knowing exactly who it was. She and I were becoming good friends fast.
"Hi Katie"
"How did you know it was me?"
"You've called 3 times since I left you yesterday."
"Well its suppose to teach you not to ever leave me behind with Tristan!"
"I certainly didn't want to hang out with Tristan either and why should we both suffer?" I bit my lip to keep from laughing.
"Not fair! Your going to get payback for that!"
"Whatever you say Kats."
"I'm serious"
"So am I. So where are you anyways?" Mom held the door open to the "scone palace"
"Look up." I did. I saw Katie sitting there with Tristan. I shut my phone and ran over to her. Mom followed.
"Hi!"
"Hey yourself" She replied.
"Did you plan this?" I looked at mom.
"Nope, total coincidence." I looked around the table there were 3 scones on 4 plates and 2 cups of coffee in front of two of the plates. Mom was sitting in front of one. And the other was right in between her and Tristan. "Yeah Right" I thought to myself.
I sat down slowly. Mom and Katie were talking about talking pajamas. Katie was really becoming a Gilmore Girl.
I turned over to Tristan. This was the first time I actually took a good look at him. His eyes were still blue but they were clearer cleaner like the wall he put up was down. His hair was a little longer and looked so soft I wanted to run my hands through it over and over again. He was muscled with toned arms and abs. Military school did him some good. He was wearing dark low-rise jeans and a blue and white striped polo. He looked great…..possibly even really hot.
If someone told me 3 years ago that I would be sitting in London thinking Tristan Dugrey was hot. I would have told them they were on crack. I could barely believe it but I was shaken out of my thoughts when he started talking.
"What's with the staring? Like what you see?"
I muttered my real opinion under my breath, You don't know how much.
"What was that?"
"Hardly"
"So then now that I know you think I'm ugly let's move on."
"Your not ugly per say."
"So you think I'm hot?"
"Didn't say that"
"So what you been up to lately?"
"Not much." I looked away. I wasn't ready to tell Tristan about the past 2 years.
He didn't want to pry so he started to share the past 2 years of his life.
"So I went to military school. And I met my best friend there, he didn't care about my name. He was just a friend and I loved that. Jason was just like that he doesn't judge a person like everyone else does. But he also doesn't care about names. He didn't care if you were the queen or lived on the streets of LA. He's here in Europe with us. He's following us to Santorini, Rome, Venice, Paris, and we have to go to Dusseldorf for some weird reason."
"This is not happening. That's where we are going! In that order!" (I know the chances of this are like zero to none but I have to have them spend time together.)
"That's so weird."
Katie and Mom had stopped talking to each other and were listening to our conversation. We noticed and turned to them. We started eating and we continued our conversation but we included Kats(pronounced Kates) and Mom.
"We got to get back to the motel." Mom suggested.
"Why don't you stay with us at the Hilton, you can stay in my room. I'll kick Tristan out and he can room with Jason." Katie said, excitedly.
"That would be great!" Mom shrieked.
I looked over at Mom and sighed. Mom and Katie were planning something. I didn't know what but it was something.
We all got up and headed over to our motel. We opened the door and led Kats and Tristan in. I let both of them sit on my "declared" bed. Mom and me scurried around the room gathering our clothes and other miscellaneous items. I picked up my spare pairs of polos, t-shirts and jeans that weren't already in the suitcase.
Tristan and Kats looked around. I knew what they were thinking.
"It's not a Hilton suite, we know this, but it's 40 dollars a night. What we can afford on this trip."
"It's not that, its just that it would be weird to stay in a place like this for a night." Kats insisted.
"It would be really weird for you guys. Wouldn't it?"
"Yah" Kats said.
"I'm done!" Mom shrieked.
"Since when do YOU pack quickly?"
"Since I got an offer to spend our trip in a fancy hotel instead of grunge town."
"Fine whatever. I'm done, too."
We all got up and left and headed the 12 blocked to the hotel.
"Man this place is SWANKY!" Mom screamed when she saw the suite.
"Sure is." Kats replied. "Tristan pack your stuff and head next door"
"I'm going, I'm going."
"Actually, don't get anything come back in 20 minutes, we are having movie night!" Lorelei hollered.
"What's a movie night?" Katie replied.
"OMG! A movie night virgin!" Mom and I yelled.
"Virgin? I'm not a virgin at all." At this Tristan electric blue eyes widened.
"Oops!" Katie whispered.
"Ok you need to leave Tristan. Like now before your sister turns into a beet." I shooed him out of the room and turned around.
"What was that!"
"He didn't know that I gave up my virginity to his best friend."
"You did what?"
"Well me and Jason have been dating for about a year, long distance of course but still. And I lost my virginity about a month ago."
"Good to know. We should get started with movie night now."
"What's a movie night?"
"Watch and learn girl, watch and learn."
Mom was on the phone ordering pizza and junk food from room service. I ran to Mom's suitcase and sorted through her "selected movies". There were about ten of them. I picked out Willy Wonka, and the Breakfast Club.
"Got the movies!"
"What did you choose?" Mom said coming back into the room.
"Willy Wonka and the Breakfast club"
"Good choices."
Katie was sitting on the couch waiting. There was a knock on the door and she jumped up to get it.
She opened the door and found the room service guy standing there with a cart which was covered in bowls of chips and candy. She showed him and and Lorelei told him to leave the cart. He left and at that moment Jason walked up to the door when Katie turned back to the room.
He came up and kissed her on the mouth. It turned into a full on makeout session and was only stopped when they heard a cough. Tristan was standing behind Jason glaring at him and his sister. He did not look happy at all.
"So it was him?"
"Yah" Katie replied weakly.
"You broke the code! Jason you broke the unwritten code! And Katie you lied to me!"
He stepped inside and sat down on the couch next to me. Katie and Jason stepped into the room and sat down on the other couch and Mom took the Lounge chair.
Things were awkward. To say the least. I got up and popped in the first movie in, willy Wonka. And sat back down. As the movie progressed the tension in the room. Tristan and I talked about things and Jason held Katie as she and Mom quoted the movie.
The Oompa Loompa song came on for the last time. All us girls stood up and danced around the room and sang along to the music. The guys smirked and then looked at each other smiling, I think it was sort of a pact between guy friends. I also knew that it was against some unwritten rule to date the siblings of best friends but sometimes I guess you have to bend the rules.
I pulled out the last movie after it was done. Mom shouted out her next big idea.
"Truth or Dare!"
Well that's the update. Review! Oh and thanks for all the help!
