Chapter 13
Three months later
Tristan and I arrived back in New York last night from California and we went straight to the apartment that we bought. We flew back about a month ago to look at it and purchased it immediately. It is a four bedroom penthouse in Manhattan and I loved bookcases in the walls of the den. State of the art appliances that Tristan liked and the view was amazing. He's the only one that cooks so he would be in the kitchen the most. We shopped in LA for furnishes and had Louise and Maddie, arrange the house. We'll get the more personal belongings this weekend when we are in Hartford. Pop was the only one that we contacted and he brought the check to NY for us.
Flashback
"Rory, Tristan, my you two look wonderful" Janlan greets us as we approach the table in Capriani's.
"Hey Pop" Tristan says greeting his grandfather with a hug after dropping my hand.
"And you my dear look divine" he says and I smile giving the man a kiss on the cheek as Tristan holds out my chair between the two of them.
"Thank you, it's something about the California air, I just feel full of life" I smile.
"And love, I believe" Janlan smirks as Tristan lifts my hand kissing it.
"Yes, that too" he says smiling at me.
"Well, I'm delighted. I always knew the two of you would find your way back to one another just like my Lizzy and I" he says and Tristan looks confused. Janlan explained that months before they were to be married and Janlan let her go because he knew that she loved him. And sure enough after 2 months away with her girlfriends, she showed up and they were married less than two weeks later in the most romantic villa in Italy that he purchased for her 5 years later as a wedding gift. They were married 42 years before Lizzy passed.
"Oh Pop look what you did" Tristan says pulling me closer and hugging me. I'm crying because it was beautiful and romantic.
"That's the villa that we stayed at" I questions wiping my eyes.
"Yes it was and it's now yours my dear" he says handing me keys.
"Wait…what" I say stunned.
"Pop" Tristan says knowing how much the villa means to Janlan.
"You're grandmother would want you to have it, TJ, it's a place where memories are made, romance is found and I hope that it brings you and Rory as much love, fortune and desire as we had" he states and I'm crying again.
"Mare, are you okay" he says and I nod.
"Now if you excuse me, I'm an old man and need to use the restrooms" Janlan jokes standing up.
"I love you" I say looking at Tristan. "I love you too" he says caressing my cheek before kissing me softly.
"Young love is the most incredible thing" the older woman behind us says and I smile.
"They sure are" Janlan says returning. We ordered dinner and we filled Janlan on everything we did this summer. It was great just being with the two best men in the Dugray family. Janlan told us about the families' reactions and how he managed to get all the receipts from the accountant before Derek saw them. Dad receives mine and I have talked to him briefly and Mom when I called to check in.
"So, I contacted the lawyers and issued this to me alone in cash like you wanted" he says pulling a white envelope out of his jacket packet and handing it to Tristan as we finish dessert.
"Thank you" I say touching his hand. "You both did what you had to, and for that I'm proud of the both of you" he says and I smile.
"Thanks Pop, really" Tristan says as the check arrives.
"Don't even think about it my boy, dinner is on me" Janlan says and I laugh at Tristan's face.
"Fine but next time I'm paying" he states and Janlan looks at me.
"Boy, it's all my money you're using anyways" he laughs.
"I will see you both soon" he says leaving us to retire home. "Soon, I promise" I say hugging him.
End of flashback
"What are you thinking about" Tristan says leaning on the doorframe of the bedroom watching me in bed.
"That everything will change now. We're going to NYU next week. We have this huge society wedding to plan that either one of us want, that they will have complete control again" I state and he comes and crawls back in bed.
"Mare, you're over thinking again. We bought this place instead of using the penthouse they wanted us to use. We may be attending NYU but not for what they want. We are changing everything to what we want and they get the uniting of families" he says pulling me into his side and hugging me.
"You think they'll be mad that I want to teach?" I question. I don't want to be a lawyer or work in insurance. I watched this summer camp on the beach with counselors and their kids teaching them about the sand and waves. That's when it hit me and I told Tristan and he loved it.
"Who would hate the idea of you teaching children about your passion of writing and how they can believe in their selves? Hell, Mare if you didn't harp on me during junior year, I might still be in Chilton" he states and I look at him.
"Tristan, I think Mr. Medina passed us both because he was tired of breaking up the make out sessions during group work" I laugh.
"Hey when you're good, you're good" he smirks rolling himself over me and kissing down my neck. We start getting all heavy into the make out and he reaches of the side draw for a condom when someone bangs on the door, both new cell phones go off and the house phone. We look at each other with desire and I nod. He continues for the condom and slip it on and goes to enter me when we here Emily yelling with Rachel, my mother and Francine at the door.
"Lorelai Leigh…Tristan Janlan…Open this door now" he falls on top of me and I laugh.
"I really hate my mother, quickest way to ruin the erection" he states getting up and I laugh as he rips the condom off and pulling his sweatpants back on.
"Tristan" I whine hating that we have to stop.
"Get dressed that last time they found us half naked, we got a three hour lecture from my mother and father" he demands and I giggle.
Flashback
"What the hell is going on here" Derek yells throwing the doors open to Tristan's room.
"Dad" he yells throwing the comforter over us.
"The two of you up and downstairs now Tristan" he yells and slams the doors close.
"I'm so sorry" Tristan says as I hide under the covers.
"Mare, come on look at me" he says pulling the covers down and looking at me.
"My mother is going to love this, me getting caught having sex with my boyfriend in his room by his father…it's so…so Lorelai" I laugh covering my face with the pillow.
"Tristan" we here Derek bellow through the intercom.
"Come on feisty. The sooner we get this over with the faster I can make you scream again" he smirks getting up.
"Change of revue right" I smirk grabbing my bra and panties off the floor.
"Definitely, maybe this time Lorelai can walk in on us and all our parents will know" he states and I throw the pillow at him. We arrive downstairs to see Derek pacing the fireplace and Rachel sipping on a martini.
"What the hell were you two doing?" Derek yells.
"The same thing we have been for months Dad" Tristan says and he throws the glass he was holding across the room.
"Do you even have any idea what could happen. God Tristan, think for once in your life" Derek that's and that started the three hour lecture of protective sex and not having sex at all. "Neither one of you are prepared for a baby; that's exactly what is going to happen if you keep this up. Do you want to become your mother and ruin his life too with a baby?" He yells and I'm furious.
"Derek" Rachel says.
"Dad" Tristan adds.
"No" I say standing up and walking out of the house to my car.
"Rory" Tristan yells coming up behind me and encircling my waist with his arms. "Baby, come on don't do this. Don't run away from me. That's my dad, he's an ass and you know it" Tristan states holding me tightly.
"I'm not running away from you Tristan, I just need to get away from your father before I'm not welcomed here anymore" I state.
"Then let's go" he says walking around to the passenger side and gets in. With one more look at the Dugrays mansion we leave for New York.
End of Flashback
"Welcome back" grandma says hugging me and I see Mom smirking at me.
"You look great, amazing, and so tan" Rachel says.
"And you look tone and muscular" Mom says squeezing Tristan bicep.
"Now on to bigger things" Francine says handing me a huge white binder and I look at Tristan who's trying not to laugh.
"What is this" I question handing it to him to carry, it's too damn heavy for me.
"Your wedding of the century of course" Emily says and I feel faint. Everything goes blaring and I feel like I'm falling.
Oh no...A cliffhanger... What will happen?
