Chapter 3
The next Friday, the Gilmores had their infamous Friday Night Dinner. Earlier that day, Emily had called and said that they were going to have a guest for dinner. She didn't tell who it was, but for some reason Rory had a bad feeling about it. When Emily opened the door for them that night, she had a big, mischievous smile on her face.
"Rory, you are looking wonderful tonight! Lorelai, you could've at least done something with your hair. I swear, sometimes I wonder about you. So come on in girls, our guest will be here in a minute."
Soon, Richard walked into the room. He had on a black suit with a black bow tie, as usual. "Hello girls, it's good to see you've made it. Lorelai, can I get you something to drink?" As he said it the doorbell rang, indicating that the guest had arrived.
"Sure, I'll take a martini, dad." Lorelai took a seat on the couch and soon after Rory followed.
"And what about you, Rory?"
"Oh, I'll just have a soda, please."
"It's nice to see you still haven't changed, Mary." As soon as Rory heard that voice, she froze. She'd know that voice anywhere. But what was he doing here? He was supposed to be at military school. She hadn't even seen him in about two years. She finally shook the feeling off and turned to look at him. He was still as good looking as ever, but he was even more built. Military school must have done him some good.
"Mary, Mary, Mary, you're drooling." Tristan couldn't help but chuckle. Rory finally tore her eyes away from him.
"What are you doing here? You're supposed to be at military school."
"I just graduated actually, so I'm back home for now. I was also wanting to go to the Chilton graduation so I could see old friends graduate. Well, anyways I ran into Richard and Emily my first day back and they invited me to dinner. Knowing you'd be here, I couldn't refuse."
"Huh."
The rest of the night, Rory tried to ignore Tristan, but he just about made it impossible. He kept staring at her, asking her questions, and he actually tried playing footsies with her under the table. Her mother kept giving her looks because she knew what was going on. She knew this was the boy they used to call Bible Boy. She also gave Tristan death stares whenever Emily wasn't watching. Tristan didn't really care. She knew what he was doing. He was just trying to start trouble. Both, Lorelai and Rory, were relieved when dinner was over and they got to leave. As they were leaving though, Tristan kissed Rory goodbye on the cheek. Rory could feel herself blush, even though she didn't want this happening. When he pulled away, Rory told him that she has a boyfriend that she's in love with. He said "Okay. I understand." But she could see the wheels turning in his head, meaning that he was coming up with some sort of plan. Rory did not like the look on his face at all.
"Well I'll see you around, Mary." Tristan said with a grin on his face before turning to leave.
