Chapter four

It was a quarter till seven and Rory still wasn't ready. It was the night of her and Tristan's date. She was running frantically around the apartment trying to get ready in time. Tristan would be there in about five minutes

"Have you seen my pink bracelet?" She yelled to Paris. "I can't find it anywhere." She loved that bracelet and she was really looking forward to wearing it. She was rummaging through all her drawers trying to find it.

"I think its on the bathroom counter." Paris yelled back. "Have you tried looking there?"

Rory didn't think of that. She walked over to the bathroom, opened the door and went inside. She looked over at the place where Paris had said it might be. Apparently Paris was right; it was in the exact place where she thought it would be. She put the bracelet on and walked out the door. Then she went into her room and finished getting ready. By the time she was done, Tristan was already there.

"Rory, Tristan's here!" She yelled to Rory. Paris had seen him come up the road.

Rory ran towards the living room. She took one last look at herself, just to make sure she looked okay, then she went out the door. "Bye Paris." She said before she left.

Once she got to the elevator, she was suddenly getting very nervous. She never actually went on a date with him before so she didn't know what could happen. She was suddenly getting second thoughts but she decided that it was best to suck it up and just go on the date. Who knows she might actually have fun.

When the elevator reached the first floor, she got out and went out the door. Tristan was standing by his car waiting for her. "Hey Rory." He said as he saw her come through the door. "Wow, you look great!" Rory was wearing a pink alter top with a jean jacket over it and a long white skirt.

"Thank you. You don't look bad yourself." She said as she looked him over.

He smiled. "So ready to go?" she nodded. He opened the door and she went inside the car. He got in right after her.

Once they there were both in the car and he started driving, she asked, "So where are we going?"

"Can't tell you. It's a surprise." He smiled at her.

"Fine." She smiled back.

---------------------------------------------

It took them an half an hour before they got the place where Tristan was taking them. When they got there, Rory couldn't believe where they were; they were at the most popular restaurant in all of New Haven – Bentara. Rory's grandparents had always said good things about the restaurant but she had never actually been there since it was too expensive. Even Logan had never taken there and he was as rich as Tristan is.

"Here we are." He said as he parked the car.

"How did you manage this? Isn't this place very expensive?" she asked in awe.

"My uncle works here and he said that he could get us in for free." He told her.

"Really?" she said.

"Yeah; lets go!" They got out of the car and went inside the restaurant. Once they got inside they waited for someone to seat them.

After a minute, someone finally came up to them. "Name please." He said.

"Dugrey." Tristan told the guy.

He looked at his book until he found the name. Once he found it, he said. "Follow me." He took them over to this table all the way on the other side of the room. The table was in a corner. They sat down and he gave them their menu. "Your waiter should be with you in a few minutes." He said then left

"So how do you like it?" he asked her after a few minutes. She was looking at her menu.

She looked up. "Oh, its pretty nice. but I can't really judge since we've been here for only a couple minutes."

"Yeah I understand. You'll love it though. They have the most amazing food." He explained.

She nodded. "That's what my grandparents say and of course if they say it, of course it has to be true."

He laughed. "Of course. So what happened to Harvard? I thought you would be going there instead of Yale."

"I thought that too but once I looked at Yale, I changed my mind." She explained.

"Yeah." He didn't know what else to say.

"Where did you end up going?" she asked him.

"Harvard actually." He told her.

"Seriously?" she couldn't believe it. "Why would you go there?"

"Well, most of my family went there and not to mention I thought you would be there."

"Wow, I didn't know that." She said. She didn't know what else to say.

"Of course you didn't." he said understandingly.

They were quiet for about a minute until the waitress came back to take their orders. Their food came an hour after the waitress took there orders.

"So," Tristan said between bites. "What happened between you and that Logan guy. You didn't really explain what happened."

Rory looked up and cleared her throat. "Well Its kind of a long story." She told him. She really didn't want to talk about this right now considering she was on a date with another man.

"Well, we have time." He told her.

"Why do you want to know anyways?"

"I don't know; I just do okay." He shrugged. Truthfully, he had no idea why he wanted to know anyways.

She sighed and told him the whole story. She told him how she introduced him to Lucy and how Logan was very upset since his business deal backfired. She also told him how one night he was so depressed that he went to this bar and got so drunk that he couldn't think straight. Apparently Lucy was there too and she was also drunk that she couldn't think straight either. She also told him that somehow they hit it off and somehow they ended up in bed together. She couldn't forgive him because this wasn't the first time that he did something like that. She really thought that he was over that but she was wrong. She still didn't forgive her friend also. She thought she was a true friend but apparently she was wrong.

Once she was done, Tristan's reaction was the same as it was before. He thought he was a jerk and that he should never have done something like that. He was lucky enough to have her and he just had to ruin it.

For the rest of the date, they talked about school and other stuff like that. They were laughing and having fun. Just then Rory realized something that she never thought of before; Tristan and Logan were a lot a like. They had the same blonde hair, they were both rich, they both had this charm that could be annoying but irresistible at the same time, and lots of other similarities.

----------------------------------------

The date was over and they were walking towards Rory's apartment. They didn't talk until they got to the door. They both turned towards each other. "So, I had fun tonight." Tristan told her.

"I did too." She smiled. She really did have fun. It was a lot more fun than she thought it would be. It was also a lot more fun than a lot of dates she had before.

"So, we should do this another time." Tristan said moving as he moved closer to Rory.

"Yeah we should." Rory said smiling. She also moved closer to Tristan. Their heads moved closer and they kissed. This time both of them enjoyed it completely. It had twice as much passion and fire as the first. Neither of them left this time too. They both didn't want the moment to end. Rory couldn't believe how good it felt; it was like no kiss she had before

Finally after about five minutes, Rory broke the kiss. "I'll see you later then." She said.

"Yeah, you definatly will." Tristan said. "So, are you doing anything Monday night?"

"Not yet." Rory responded grinning at him. Tristan was also smiling.

"Okay, so when should I pick you up? How about 8?"

"8's good." Rory said.

"Alright then, I'll see you then." Rory nodded then they kissed one last time. Then they both went their separate ways, thinking about the date that they just had. It was definatly the beginning of a beautiful "friendship."
