Tristan looked at Rory, she looked like an angel that had been broken by guys who supposedly "loved" her. Tristan used to be that kind of guy but he could never do that to Rory. She was like his one weakness.

He didn't know if he could keep end of the "plan" without falling for her. She gave him a strange look causing to him to shake his head.

"What?"

"You were starring at me."

"Sorry I spaced."

"I should really start my homework."

"Same here. Wanna help me?"

"Sure, but you cause any distractions I get to hit you."

"Got it." They started their homework and worked late into the night. Rory hadn't expected Tristan to stay that late.

The phone rang and Rory ran to it. She tripped over something on the floor and crashed to the floor. Tristan ran into the room and found her laughing on the floor. She motioned for him to answer the phone. He looked at her strangely and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Bible boy? Why are you answer my phone?"

"Rory fell to the floor and started laughing, so she made me answer."

"Oh well tell her that I have to pull an all-nighter for this wedding. So I won't be home till morning, so she's on her own."

"Will do."

"Thanks." He hung up and looked at Rory.

"Your mom has to work later."

"Oh, are you hungry?"

"Starved."

"Pizza or Chinese?"

"How about both?"

"Works for me." She dialed the phone and ordered the food as Tristan turned on the TV. She sat down next to him and looked at him. He had changed since the Military School and in the good way. He wasn't the playboy he used to be, it was like he grew up. She didn't know how well this "plan" was going to work because she was already feeling something she shouldn't be feeling for a plan. It was supposed to be a business deal where no emotions should get involved but when Tristan called her his girlfriend it made it real.

She had had feelings for Tristan ever since they shared the kiss when her and Dean broke up for the first time. The kiss was innocent in nature but Rory felt that deep down that somehow it was supposed to happen. But the fear of him saying that it meant nothing kept her from saying anything.

When the food came Tristan paid for the food. Rory insisted that he didn't have to and Tristan kept saying that he wanted to. They were watching some old movie on TV and enjoying each other company when someone knocked at the door. Rory answered it and Jess was standing there. She took a step back and Tristan knew automatically that something wasn't right. He came up behind Rory and Jess's face went from no emotion to a smirk.

"Hey Jess, what can I do for you?"
"I need to talk to Rory."

"She doesn't want to talk to you, okay?"

"Stay out of this Tristan, this is between me and Rory."

"Leave me alone, Jess."

"No Rory I love you."

"Dude just listen to her and leave."

"Shut up, I hit beat you up once and I have no problem doing it again."

"Jess please leave." Rory went to shut the door but Jess stopped her and grabbed her arm. He wouldn't let go and Rory got a face of horror. Tristan grabbed Jess's hand and shoved him against the wall.

"She said leave." He got a deep breath and realized that Jess was drunk. "Rory go, he's drunk."

"No I'm not gonna leave you alone with him."

"Let me go Tristan."

"Not until you leave and don't come back." Tristan pushed him out the door and watched him leave. He looked at Rory's arm and it was all red where Jess had his arm. "Does it hurt?"

"A little."

"Put some ice on it." He got some ice and put it on her wrist. She just looked at him.

"Thank you."

"Its nothing, what are boyfriends for?"

"I don't know." She sat back down on the couch and grabbed another slice of pizza.

"It's getting late and I should get home." Tristan fished in his pocket and got out his car keys. Rory just looked at him with pleading eyes.

"Or you can stay here?" She said barely audible.

"Do you want me to?"

"What if Jess comes back?"

"You can't answer my question with a question."

"I would like you to stay." She looked like a little kid who had just done something wrong.

"Okay then, I have to make one phone call." He fished out his phone and called his house. "Hey I'm not gonna be home tonight. Yeah I know but it wasn't my fault so he said to just stay home and relax. Love you too mom." Rory smiled at him. "What?"

"I've never heard you tell your mom you loved her, its cute."

"Yeah she's the one who got me out of Military School." He sat back down and soon Rory was fast asleep on his shoulder. He soon fell asleep too and they spent the night sleeping on her couch.

The next morning Lorelai came in and saw them fast asleep together. It was cute she didn't want to wake them so she just left them to sleep. When she left for work she left Rory a note. When Rory finally woke up around 11 she realized that she was late for school. She rushed into the kitchen and found the note from her mom. She signed in relief and went back into the living room and woke Tristan.

"Oh shit you're late for school." He jumped up and started towards the door, she just looked at him and laughed.

"I'm not going to school today."

"Oh, now people are gonna think we're sleeping together."

"Let them."

"So what do you want to do today?"

"I don't know.'

"I have to check in at home would you like to join me?"

"Sure, just let me change." When Rory came out of her room, they left and Tristan was really nervous.

"You know you're going to meet the infamous Mr. Dugrey who sent his only kid to Military school and the sweet women you forced him to pull me out. So be prepared for lots of fighting."

"Tristan relax."

"I am relaxed."

Author's note: I know I update a lot but I get really bored during Computer and I have nothing to do. The next chapter is going to meet Tristan's parents. Also things may seem like they are moving fast but they aren't. Hope you enjoy, R&R!
