Chapter Five: Theft?
"Mum!" Rory exclaimed.
Tristan swallowed nervously, "yes."
"Tristan!" Rory exclaimed again.
Both Lorelai and Tristan looked at her, "look... no one stole anything, I gave myself to Tristan quite willingly."
Tristan couldn't help but smile, Lorelai just stared at Rory, "Rory, listen to me, you're young and naïve and you were upset about Dean, you were vulnerable, he took advantage of that fact…"
"Mum! I am 16 years old! I am not naïve! Tristan did not take advantage of me!" she turned to Tristan for support, "did you Tristan?"
"Well…" Tristan started looking around to see if anyone was watching them, which luckily no one was.
"I can't believe this! You did not take advantage of me, ok? If I hadn't wanted to of had sex with you then I wouldn't have."
"But you were upset about Dean" her mother pointed out.
"Mum, what happened with Dean had been a long time coming, I just didn't love him, Dean was a great first boyfriend and a really nice guy, but it's over and I'm over it, Tristan is the wave of the future, so get used to it."
Rory pushed back her chair and grabbed Tristan's arm pulling him out of his seat as well, "let's go."
"Where are you going?" Lorelai asked.
"Suddenly I've lost my appetite."
"Rory, please."
"I'll see you at home later on Mum" Rory replied without looking back.
Rory walked at a harried pace back towards her house, leaving Tristan to try and keep up. "Rory, wait!"
Rory slowed her pace a little, but didn't say anything until they reached her house.
"Let's get out of here."
"Where do you want to go?"
"Anywhere."
"Do you want to go back to my place?"
"Ok."
Rory followed Tristan over to his car parked in her driveway and hoped inside. They drove towards Hartford in relative silence. As they pulled up in Tristan's drive way Rory stared at the house in awe. "This place is even bigger then my grandparents."
Tristan smiled, "come on."
They emerged from the car and Tristan let them inside, "do you want to watch a movie or something?"
"Ok."
Rory followed Tristan through the house to a room near the back; it was decked out with comfy looking couches and coffee tables. Rory sat down on one of the couches, Tristan started to ask "did you…"
Rory burst into tears. Tristan rushed over to her, "oh my god, what's wrong?"
Rory just sobbed a little louder, Tristan sat down next to her and gathered her into his arms, Rory buried her face in his chest, when her sobs weren't so uncontrollable Tristan tried again "What's wrong?"
Rory hiccupped, "my mum hates me" and burst into a fresh round of tears.
"Sshhh, of course she doesn't hate you, she's just shocked is all."
Rory didn't reply and Tristan just held her until she stopped crying and she pulled away, they sat in silence for a moment before Rory spoke, "Hey Tristan I hate to break it to you but there isn't a TV in here."
Tristan laughed and grabbed a remote control off a small coffee table and pressed a button, a massive television lowered down from the roof. "Oh my god!" Rory exclaimed, "Your TV is huge! This is gonna be so great."
"What do you want to watch?" Tristan asked her going over to a large cupboard and opening the door to reveal at least 100 DVD's.
Rory rushed over to him in excitement, "ooh let's see what the choices are."
15 minutes later Rory had decided on The Breakfast Club. "I love this movie, it's a classic" Rory told Tristan as he put it into the DVD player and settled on the couch next to her.
"I've never seen it."
"You've never seen it? But, you..."
"I haven't seen most of the DVD's in there."
"Ok… you do realize that over the next couple of months we are now going to have to methodically work our way through every DVD in that cabinet?"
Tristan laughed "Ok, if you want to."
"It's essential… part of your cultural education"
Tristan smiled again, leaned over and pressed his lips to hers. Rory kissed him back for a moment then pulled away "No more distractions! On with the movie!"
Rory and Tristan watched in silence for two minutes, when Rory reached over and hit pause, "ok I tried to ignore it, but I can't."
"Ignore what?"
"We don't have snacks."
Tristan laughed, "Wait here, I'll see what I can do."
Five minutes later Tristan returned with his arms full of chips and bags of lollies, "yay!" Rory exclaimed as he dropped it all on the couch next to her.
Rory immediately ripped into a bag of raspberry licorice, extracted a piece for herself and offered the bag to Tristan.
Rory jerked up from her position slumped against Tristan at the sound of her cell phone ringing. She fumbled around looking for her bag, found it under an empty bag of marshmallows and extracted her ringing phone from it.
"Hello?"
"Hi Babe."
"Oh, hi Mum" Rory returned uncomfortably.
"Where are you?"
"Tristan's."
"Oh ok… look Rory…"
"I know."
Lorelai sighed in relief "I really am sorry… I guess i'm still in shock."
"Really mum, its ok."
"Ok… well maybe sometimes next weekend Tristan can come over for a movie night?"
"I'll ask him"
"Ok sweets; well ill see you later tonight"
"Ok mum, bye."
"Bye."
Rory hung up the phone. "Your mum?"
"Yeah."
"You ok?"
"Yeah, she's sorry."
"Of course she is."
