Chapter three

Paris couldn't believe it; she just sat there in complete and utter shock. She was staring at her with this blank expression on her face. "What did you just say?" she finally said.

"I-just-kissed-Tristan!" she said a little too fast that they could barely understand her.

"Ok calm down," she motioned her to take a breathe. She took one. "and say that again, just slow it down a notch. We can barely understand you."

"I kissed Tristan." She repeated at a slower pace.

"Okay; That's better," This time, she could actually understand her. "Now tell me how the hell did this happen."

"I don't know. We were talking about me and Logan's break up and he was being really sweet and I don't know, I kissed him." She told her. "I don't why I did it; I just did."

"That can't be the only reason. You can't just kiss someone just because they are being sweet. That makes no sense. There has to be other reasons behind it."

"Well, this time there wasn't." she insisted. "I only kissed him because he was being sweet!"

"No, that wasn't the only reason and you know it. Stop trying to deny it." Rory sighed. She knew Paris was right, she just didn't want to admit it. "There has to be some feels left over from the last time you saw him!"

"Umm that might be the case but there's just one little problem to your logic; see I never had feels for Tristan and I definatly don't have feelings for him now!" she tried to tell her, even though deep down, she knew that wasn't the case.

"Then why did you kiss him?"

"I already told you! I don't why I did it; I just did! How many times do I have to tell you that!" She was suddenly getting annoyed by the direction the conversation was going.

"Sure, okay." Paris said not believing a word Rory was saying.

Rory noticed her sarcasm and glared at her. "Could we please drop it? I should have never brought it up. That was a definite mistake on my part." Paris finally gave in and dropped the subject. Rory was thankful. For the rest of the ride, she never mentioned what had just happened again.

Once they got home, Rory immediately went into her room and called her mother. She had to tell her about the recent events that had occurred.

"Pick up, pick up." She muttered to herself as she waited for someone to pick up. After another twenty seconds waiting, someone finally answered. "Hey mom," Rory said immediately.

"Hey hun! What's up?" her mother said tiredly. Rory could tell that she had just woken her up.

"You won't believe what had just happened!"

"What?" she asked really wanting to know.

"Well Paris dragged me off to this club and you won't believe who I ran into – Tristan!"

"Why the hell was he doing there?"

"Apparently he works for his family now and he had some business he has to do here." She told her.

"He works for his family now? Who would have thought!"

"I know right. I said the same exact thing when he told me. I could never picture him working for his family."

"Yeah you and I both." She said. "Wait, was this the only reason you called me, to tell me that Tristan is back in town?"

"Well no, something else happened."

"Then what?"

"I kind of kissed him." She told her mother suddenly getting embarrassed.

"You what?" she couldn't believe it. "How did this happen?"

"I don't know! I mean we were talking about me and Logan's break up and he was being really sweet and I don't know, I kissed him."

"Aww hun." Her mother said understandingly. She felt bad for her daughter.

"I'm just so confused. I mean I don't have any feelings for him, well I don't think I do."

"Well hun, why would you kiss him if there wasn't any feelings there?"

"I don't know mom! I'm not sure about anything right now. I never thought this could happen. The real Rory would never had kissed him; she always hated him." Of course she knew that wasn't the truth. She never actually hated him; annoyed with him yes, but hate, never. "But when I saw him for the first time in like five years I don't what happened but all these feelings came to me that I never new I had."

She looked over to her clock and realized it was getting late. She still had some studying to do since her finals were in about two weeks. She decided it was best to hang up and finish their discussion in the morning.

"What was that?" she asked her mother as she heard something from the other side of the phone.

"Oh that; it was nothing. Luke just realized I was up and wants me to go back to bed. He's always like this, always so concerned over me." Rory laughed; her mother seemed so happy. She was glad that her mother was finally happy. A week after she broke up Logan, Luke and her mother got back together. Since then, her mother couldn't be happier. She was never this happy when she was Christopher. Although her mother never said that she wasn't happy, she knew that she was. She knew that she had never really loved Christopher and that she had loved Luke all along. She just hoped that some day she could find a love like her mother and Luke had. She had thought she had it with Logan but apparently that was never the case.

"I'm going to go now. I still have some studying to do and it seems as though I interrupted something."

"No stay. You didn't interrupt anything; well aside from waking me up but that doesn't matter."

"No I can't. I really have to go study. We can finish this later. Bye mom!" She didn't wait for her mother to answer, she just hung up the phone. She then walked over to her desk and studied for about an hour then went to bed.

Rory had just gotten out of class and was at the local coffee shop. She was getting her coffee fix for the day. She was waiting in line when Tristan, surprisingly, came through the door. "Rory, I need to talk to you!" He walked over to her.

She turned around. "What are you doing here?" she was very surprised to see him there.

"I have to talk to you!"

"Well I'm kind of busy right now so what ever you wanted to talk to me about will have to wait." She couldn't believe he was there. How he knew she was there in the first place was beyond her. "How did you know I was here anyways?"

"That's not important but what I have to talk to you about is! Please get out of line and talk to me!"

"No," she said angrily. "If you want to talk, you would have to wait."

He sighed, finally giving in. "Fine I'll wait!" He walked over and sat down at the nearest table. Rory turned around thankfully and waited for her turn to be served. After three minutes, she walked over to the table where Tristan was sitting, with her coffee in her hand. "So what did you want to talk to me about?" She asked as she sat down.

"I want to talk about the kiss." She was afraid of this. She was scared that he was going to take it the wrong way. "I mean why did you do it?"

"I don't know Tristan!" she said truthfully. "It just happened; I wasn't thinking. Let's just forget it ever happened okay."

"Don't be sorry; I'm not. It was a nice kiss." He told her. "And I definatly don't want to forget it ever happened."

She was relieved; she thought that he would not like it and would want to forget about it right away. Apparently she was wrong. "Seriously?" She tried to hide the smile that was forming but she couldn't.

"Of course, What did you think? That's another thing that will never change; my feelings for you. I still regret not treating you right and that I never got a chance to be with you. This could be our chance to start over so that why I'm going to ask you to have the honor of having dinner with me on Friday night. So what do you say; will you have the honor of spending dinner with me?"

Rory didn't know what to do. She really wanted to go but she wasn't sure if she was ready. She still wasn't exactly over Logan just yet. "Umm, I don't know what to say."

"Just say yes. You only need to say yes." He told her.

"Okay, so what time should you pick me up?"

Tristan couldn't believe it. "Are you saying yes?" she nodded. "How about 7?"

"7's good." She said happily.

"Alright I'll pick you up at 7 then. I'll see you then." They both smiled at each other and then both went out the door. Both of them were really looking forward to their so called "date" on Friday night. Rory was so excited that for the next couple of days that was all she could think about.
