DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything that involves Gilmore Girls.

Hey guys! Thanks for the great reviews, they were really very encouraging. I hope you continue to read and review!

I couldn't believe that he had the nerve to kiss me. But, that was Tristan for you. Just doing whatever pops into his head, not even bothering to think first. He had more nerve and cocky arrogance than anyone I had ever met. The funny thing is that it was supposed to repulse me, but no matter how hard I fought it, I couldn't seem to resist him.

"That was a mistake. And it will never happen again."

Mistake my ass. Even the perfect Rory Gilmore couldn't deny the passion she felt during that kiss. Don't get me wrong, she did try to deny it. And as much as it annoyed me, it also exhilarated me. I enjoyed watching her squirm at the very sight of me until she couldn't fight it any longer. And that is when things always got interesting.

"Okay, so this may not be your everyday relationship, but who ever said that those were any fun?" Tristan asked.

Rory ran her hand through her hair in frustration and said, "Tristan, I have a normal, everyday relationship now. Is this thing between you and me really worth risking it?"

Tristan's eyes darkened in anger and he shot up from his seat on the bed. "Don't give me that shit, Rory. If your relationship with Jess is so god damn special, why the hell have you been messing around with me?"

Rory cautiously made her way to her locker, hoping she wouldn't see him standing there. She sighed in relief at the lack of his presence and went about getting her books. A minute later, she groaned when she sensed his presence next to her. "Tristan, just go away."

"Interesting." Tristan said slowly.

Rory slammed her locker shut and turned towards him. "What?"

Tristan smirked and said, "Oh, just the fact that you could tell without looking that it was me. That's what I like to call a special connection."

"No, I just know when assholes are near. Call it a sixth sense." Rory shrugged her backpack on her shoulders and began walking towards her first class. She was not at all surprised when she heard his footsteps closing following behind her.

"You know Mary, I have a sixth sense of my own." Rory didn't respond and continued walking.

Tristan took a few large steps and grabbed her arm so that she stopped and he was standing in front of her. "I have the ability to sense attraction. And let me tell ya, there are all kinds of things radiating from you."

Rory glared at him and then motioned for him to come closer. Tristan leaned forward and Rory whispered in his ear seductively, "Can I tell you a secret?"

Tristan swallowed hard and said, "Yeah?"

Rory smiled and said, "I have a boyfriend whom I just got done seeing. Maybe that's where you're sensing all those things coming from."

Before Tristan could respond, she stepped back and said, "Bye."

Tristan was more than a little surprised; he was almost positive that Rory and the bagboy were done. There was no way that she could have found a replacement in such a short time. He shook his head in frustration as he watched her disappear down the hallway. This wasn't going to be as easy as he had thought.

"You know that I care about Jess! I don't want to hurt him Tristan!" Rory shouted.

Tristan bit back his own urge to shout and said, "You can't always please everyone, Rory. Sooner or later you're going to have to do something for yourself."

"And what makes you think that being with you is what I want?" Rory asked, turning away so she wouldn't have to look him in the eye.

After a long pause, Tristan said, "I know what you want, Rory. But, I'm not going to stick around and watch you figure it out."

"Wow, you just don't give up, do you?" Rory said as Tristan sat next to her at her bus stop.

"You can say whatever you want Mary, but no one just kisses someone like that and has no feelings about it. There's something between us, and you know it."

"Alright, I'm going to tell you this once and then you are going to leave me alone." Tristan just nodded and waited for her to continue. "Jess and I had a fight that day and I was just really mad. I guess I was trying to get back at him."

"Back at him for what?" Tristan asked, intrigued.

"If you must know, I had caught him kissing another girl. It wasn't that big of deal and we're fine now. I'm sorry that I used you to make myself feel better." Rory looked at Tristan, expecting some insensitive remark, but only saw him staring straight at her.

"If it made you feel better, what makes you think that it wasn't for a reason?" Tristan asked.

"Well, I just…" Rory paused and didn't know what to say. "It didn't mean anything. It can't."

Tristan couldn't help but be happy at her uneasiness. It meant that she didn't have a real response to his question. "Well maybe it didn't mean anything, but I could tell that you enjoyed it. I know that I did."

"Was the me hitting you part not clear enough? I don't think that shouts enjoyment." Rory huffed, crossing her arms over her chest.

Tristan watched as she pouted, biting her lip. He so badly wanted to take that bottom lip of hers between his own. He knew that he was risking a beating, but he couldn't help himself any longer. He leaned forward and kissed her, sucking her bottom lip. Rory let the kiss last for a minute or so, before she realized what she was doing and gave his chest a hard shove. "Tristan! What do I have to do to make you stop kissing me?"

Tristan shrugged and said, "Convince me that you don't feel anything when I kiss you. And as of now, I am definitely not convinced."

Rory's bus pulled up and she grabbed her bag and stood. Before walking towards the entrance, she gave Tristan a small smack on the back of his head. Tristan smirked and rubbed his head as he watched her climb into the bus. As it pulled away, he sat reveling in what had just happened. There was no way he was giving up after that kiss; it was even better than the first, which at the time, he had thought was his best kiss ever.

Rory watched as Tristan climbed out of her window and into his BMW. She had never expected Tristan to behave like this. He wasn't supposed to care that she had a boyfriend; he was supposed to enjoy the fact that he was "corrupting his little Mary." He wasn't supposed to act hurt when she told him that she cared about Jess. That wasn't the Tristan that she thought that she knew.

Tristan roared out of the Gilmore driveway, not at all caring that he was drawing attention to himself. He wanted all of Stars Hollow to know that their little princess wasn't even close to perfect. That Rory Gilmore was cheating on her boyfriend with a boy that her mother would hate even more than Jess. Most of all, he wanted Rory to know that it was okay for her to not be perfect. That he was far from it, but he still hoped that what he had to offer was good enough for her.

"Hey," Jess said as Rory walked off the bus.

Rory mustered a smile and repeated, "Hey."

Jess leaned forward for a kiss and after only a short while, Rory pulled back, ending the kiss long before Jess would have preferred.

"Something wrong?" He asked, confused.

Rory shook her head and said, "No, I just had a really weird day. I think I'm just going to go home."

Jess nodded mutely as Rory gave him a quick peck goodbye and headed home. He watched with a worried expression on his face as she disappeared down the street.

"I love Jess, right?" Rory asked to herself for what seemed like the millionth time. She sat in the dark, still staring at the window that Tristan had gone through hours ago.

"But how come I don't feel anything when I kiss him anymore?" She sighed and fell back against her pillows. "Tristan, that's why."

So, what did you think? Is anyone surprised that it was Jess and not Dean? Now, before you throw rocks at me, I definitely love Jess and hate Dean, but this is something a little different for me. It actually encouraged me when I got a suggestion of making it Jess, because I knew I wasn't alone! Anyways, please review and let me know what you thought!
