Chapter 12: A Christmas to Remember (Part 2)
A/N: WOW! I have over 100 reviews! You guys are totally awesome! I would give you some cookies but everybody does that so I'm just going to say the magic words 'Love you all bunches'!
Also, in regards to 'Namariegreenleaf' she is a friend of mine and I strongly advise that you don't look to deeply into her reviews, they will often revolve around a conversation we were having at that moment or from earlier on. And so that this makes a bit more sense we are, in reality, slightly off our rockers. So hang in there, all you guys need to worry about is the story and when I will be updating next. Lol.
Anywho, on to the next part of this wonderful story…
Rating: I've changed it to M until I decide to change it back.
Disclaimer: I wished on a star that I could own Gilmore Girls, turns out the wishing thing…it doesn't work

"Two more days until Christmas." Rory whispered in Tristans ear.
He groaned and opened his eyes. "Good morning Rory." He glanced over at the clock. "It's only eight."
"Yup, and moms going to be here any minute because we have to go do our Christmas shopping."
"I need to do that to."
"This is a girls only shopping day." She pointed out. "But you can go with Luke. He said he would be going out later to get stuff."
"Good to know. Perhaps I will take him up on the offer."
Rory poked him. "I want a pony, a Ken doll, a Santa hat, and another pony."
Tristan chuckled and rubbed the rib Rory had just poked. "A Ken doll?"
"Yeah, he's hot."
Tristan blinked. "You're kidding me right?"
She shook her head and smiled. "Nope. And don't forget about the ponies."
"I won't." he looked her up and down. "Your actually dressed." He pointed out. "That means we don't have time for a little get together?"
"Nope, sorry." She kissed him lightly on the cheek. "Maybe later."
"You torture me."
"Maybe I'll come home with an early Christmas
present."
He growled low in his throat. "Think before you say
things like that."
"I did." She chuckled quietly and nibbled on his ear just as Lorelai knocked on the door. "Gotta go love." She said and silently left the hotel room.
----
"Haven't we done enough shopping yet Rory?" Lorelai switched her bags over to her other hand yet again.
"If your done you can go get some food or something, I have one more stop."
"Where to?"
"I'm not going to tell you."
"Is it going to be for me?"
"No…I already got your present." Rory dropped her eyes and blushed.
Lorelai winced. "I see were this is going. I will ask no further questions. Meet you by the cinna-bun stand in a half hour?"
"Sure."
----
Luke smiled as Tristan walked into the diner; he had a blank look on his face. "What's up with you today?" he asked.
Tristan sighed and sat down at the counter. "Do the Gilmore's always leave you wanting something more?"
"Most of the time, yes they do." Luke said in understanding. "You want anything before we head out? I'm assuming you're here to come along to the mall with me."
"Yeah." He looked up from his hands. "I'll have a coffee. I'm not really hungry."
Luke nodded.
----
"Those smell really good." Rory said and sat down beside her mother who was holding two boxed up cinnamon rolls.
"Yea I know." She handed one to her daughter. "If you would have been here five minutes later they wouldn't have existed and you would be buying your first and me my third."
"So I would have to buy them then?"
"Yup, because if you had been here five minutes earlier you would have seen that I had bought the first two."
Rory nodded. "I see."
Lorelai glanced at her watch. "We should go, the boys are going to be here any minute now and I don't want to run into them. Seeing as we have their goodies and all."
Rory nodded. "Lets."
----
Luke and Tristan got out of the car and quickly walked into the mall. It was rather cold and windy, and neither felt like being out in the sharp wind for long. Upon entering the warm mall they both turned to the other and said the same exact thing at the same time. "Where to first?"
After a short chuckle and some fiddling with coat zippers Tristan looked at the mall map and pointed, "That's our first stop."
----
"Where are we going to hide these?"
"Your old room of course."
"Every single space we could hide things in is stuffed full of books."
"Your closet isn't."
"Really mom, that's going to be the first place they would look."
Lorelai tisked her daughter, "Men usually don't look for their presents Rory, so you don't really have to hide them. And plus, they will be wrapped." She pulled a roll of wrapping paper out and pointed towards the bedroom door, "Onward my child, there are many things to be done."
----
"I think we are done here." Luke pointed out as they both checked to be sure that everything they needed was in one of their many bags.
Tristan nodded, "I believe so."
The two men quickly left the mall, they had only been in there for two hours, unlike Lorelai and Rory who had been there for a total of four.
----
"And we are done!" Lorelai shoved the last present into the closet and quickly closed the door.
"I believe that is a record time." Rory pointed out.
"Yup," She glanced at her watch. "Last time we were at the mall for five hours and three minutes to be exact."
"Coffee?" Rory asked.
"Yes please."
----
"Where are we putting all this stuff?"
"Upstairs." Luke led the way up the stairs and opened the door.
"Nice place."
"Its not too bad." Luke said and dropped his bags on the bed.
"Should we wrap these now?"
"I guess we should." He pulled wrapping paper from one of the bags. "Lets get to work."
----
"Mom! I'm going to head back over to the inn." Rory shouted from the front door. "I'll see you later if you come by."
"I probably won't be by unless something happens over there." She walked into the front hall, "Sookie will have food for you so don't worry about anything. Give me a call though if something comes up."
"Alright. Bye mom."
"See ya."
She hugged her mom and quickly walked out the door.
----
She peered around the room her mother had given them despite the quiet just to make sure that there was no sign of Tristan. She smiled silently to herself and hurriedly moved to the bathroom.
----
"Alright Luke, I'll see you around." Tristan waved and hurried out the door, hoping to god that Rory was back at the inn and not over with Lorelai.
----
She looked around the room and smiled. This was sure to shock Tristan, she couldn't wait to see his face, and find out what he would do to her. A warm shiver ran up her spine, sending goosebumps to play across her arms. She sat down on the bed and watched as the minutes slowly added up on the digital clock.
----
Tristan walked quickly passed the front desk hoping that Michel or Sookie would not notice. They didn't, and he took the stairs two at a time. He didn't even know why he was in a hurry, but he did know that Rory was up to something.
He opened the door and peered around the room, the lights were covered in pink shades to dim the lighting and candles were placed at intervals down the short hallway. His breath caught when he found Rory sitting on the bed, a sly look on her face.
She stood up and walked over to him slowly. "I told you there would be an early Christmas present." She chuckled and poked him in the stomach.
He looked her up and down slowly; she wore a dark blue silk robe that was loosely tied and her hair was up in a French twist. The first thing he went for were the pins in her hair, she looked beautiful with it up but he wanted to feel her hair between his fingers when he kissed her.
Her eyes closed and her lips gently parted on a sigh as he pulled the last pin from her hair. He took this as his opportunity and ran his hand down her cheek and traced her bottom lip with his thumb, when she kissed it his breath caught and he had to close his eyes to actually get a breath in. he opened his eyes and pressed his lips to hers, they felt like silk beneath his. He kissed the cool, satiny stretch of her neck and nuzzled into the warm curve of her shoulder.
In the dim reaches of his mind he became aware of her fingers threading through his hair, her heart thundering against him.
He finally let his hands slide inside her robe and she let out a quiet moan.
His breath hissed as his hands encountered nothing but smooth skin and satin and lace.
"Tris…" she said against him. Taking the opportunity, he thrust his tongue inside. She trembled against him and he automatically pulled her closer. Until she stopped trying to speak.
He lifted her up and carried her back to the bed. He didn't give her the chance to speak again, he gently fell on top of her and pressed his lips to hers again.
On their way over to the bed her robe had fallen down her shoulders, hanging on her arms as she pulled his shirt over his head.
He moved back and untied her robe, before pushing it off of her entirely. He ran his finger over her shoulder, tracing one of the narrow straps down to the edge of the filmy black stuff. After taking in her full beauty he moved his eyes to hers and growled, "Your beautiful Mare."
She smiled and traced a finger down the middle of his chest. "I love you too Tris."
He grunted in recognition and moved back to her lips for another wanton kiss.
To be continued….
