Chapter Title: I've Got You by Nick Carter. I know I used him for the last chapter. But

if any of you had heard it you'd know how good it is.

Rating: M, things get a little heated.

AN: I want to say thank you for all the wonderful reviews you guys sent in for the last chapter. It was my favorite one to write so far. And I'm glad you guys like the story so far.

People tell me stay where you belong

But all my life I've tried to prove them wrong

They say I'm looking for

Something that can't be found

They say I'm missing out

My feet don't touch the ground

Rory woke up Monday morning not wanting to get out of bed. She heard her mom in the kitchen. Lorelai would be in there in a few minutes. And it would not be pretty. Rory sighed before getting out of bed. She rubbed her eyes as she opened the door.

"Good morning Beautiful."

"Tristan?" Rory asked taking her hands away from her face.

"I hope I'm the only guy who would call you that first thing in the morning." He said handing her a cup of coffee.

"I thought my mom was in here."

"She left a few minutes ago."

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm taking you to school. No girlfriend of mine is riding the bus."

Rory smiled walking over to him. She kissed his cheek before going to take a shower. She heard the door close as she turned off the shower. She stuck her head out the shower door and saw the words 'I love you' written in the steam on the mirror.

Rory walked into her room a few minutes later and saw Tristan lying on her bed with his eyes closed. She walked over to him then ran her hands through his hair. He opened his eyes smiling up at her. She traced the curve of his jaw brushing her fingers over his lips. He kissed them pulling her down to him.

"We have to leave in a few minutes."

"Have I told you how hot you look in your uniform?"

"No." She said smiling.

He pushed her skirt higher tracing the curve of her knee. He moved higher blazing a trail up her thigh. His hand stopped at her hip. He traced the elastic of her underwear before sighing. He pulled his hand out from under skirt looking down at her.

"We'll finish this later." He whispered in her ear.

Rory pulled her skirt down as Tristan walked out of the room. She didn't know what was hotter. The promise of something later…or the fact that Tristan could make her hot just by touching her. She walked into the living room pulling on her jacket. Tristan had her bag then took her hand then took her hand. He traced lazy circles across her palm as they walked to the car.

Tristan knew he should expect Rory to say that she loved him. She'd say it when she was ready. He didn't need to hear her say it to know she loved him. He hoped he made her happier than Bagboy did. And from what Jess had told him this weekend Rory was as happy as he had ever seen her.

'Take that Bagboy.' Tristan thought to himself as they pulled up to Chilton.

Tristan walked over to Rory's side to open her door. He took her hand noticing she was wearing the necklace. He brought her hand to his lips as Paris walked past them. They could hear her stalk off as they stopped at Rory's locker. Tristan tilted her chin so she was looking up at him.

"Do worry about her. Do you really care what she thinks?"

"No. But she can make the next five months hell."

"I'm not worth that?" Tristan said getting defensive.

"That's not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean?"

I was just starting to get along with her. Now I have to work back into her good graces."

When Tristan didn't say anything Rory squeezed his hand. He looked at their intertwined fingers then sighed. He pulled her to him then buried his face in her hair. Rory was glad that it hadn't turned into an argument. She knew he didn't want that anymore than she did. They walked into Mr. Medina's class still hand in hand. Everyone got quiet, staring at Tristan and Rory in shock. Tristan looked down at her not knowing what would happen next. Rory pulled them to their seats letting go of Tristan's hand as she sat down. He squeezed her shoulders as class started.

Tristan walked Rory to every class that day. And like after every class he was waiting for her outside her Calculus class.

"How did you make it here so fast?"

"I left class a little early."

"Mrs. Roberts lets you do that?"

"Mrs. Roberts loves me. She says I'm her favorite student."

Rory shook her head as he draped an arm over her shoulders. Paris, Madeline, and Louise were in the parking lot watching Tristan open Rory's door for her.

"I don't get it."

"When did Tristan become Prince Charming?" Madeline asked looking confused.

"She has him wrapped around her finger." Louise said staring in shock.

"They won't last." Paris said folding her arms over her chest.

"I hope they do." Madeline said smiling.

"They look cute together." Louise said nodding her head.

Paris stalked away wishing that Madeline and Louise didn't share a brain. Why was she the only one who thought something was wrong here?

AN2: I know this is a short chapter. But the next one will be longer. And you knew Paris would have a problem with them being together. You'll have to wait and see what happens.
