A/N: Tristan's POV... Logan's coming soon
Chapter Seven
They had just gotten back from an hour long trip to the grocery store. "Gilmore Girl rule twenty- no exercise." He looked at her like she was crazy. She calls carrying groceries in the elevator exercise? "How many rules are there?" She shrugged. "I'm not sure actually." That made him laugh. "What are some of the other ones?" She replied almost instantly, like maybe this one was really important and really discussed between the Gilmore Girls. "No sex on a first date." One second he's standing in the doorway and the next he's behind her, sliding off her duster. She was just… "Damn." He hadn't meant to say it out loud, but he let his fingertips graze her arms. She nodded slightly and he couldn't help it, high-school Tristan kicked in and he smirked. He leaned in closer to her. "You… Are… Amazing…" He kissed her shoulder. It is as smooth as it looks. "Beautiful…" He kissed her neck and he felt her pulse. God it was wonderful. "Funny… and witty…" He grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it. "And… you're… perfect." And then he kissed her open palm and she couldn't hold back the shudder, which almost made him continue. Lord knows he wanted to.
And then she leaned back into him, begging for more. She tensed up after that, he figured she didn't notice it. "It's alright, Rory. It's alright." He whispered to her and took her in his arms, he just wanted her to be close. He turned her around to face him and pulled her close. I just want to hold her for a little while, maybe then I can pretend. He heard her breath in his scent and he kissed the top of her head. Her hair smells so good. "Come on, I'll let you pick a movie." He took her hand and led her to a closet. She laughed out loud when he opened the door. "I don't watch half of them but Dad hates it so…" He shrugged, and she smiled up at him and he was very tempted to kiss her. "Alright let's pick." He shook his head and smiled at her, God, I love her. "Not so fast, we're going to do this my way." She rolled her eyes playfully, but turned to face the movies none the less.
He moved behind her again and he placed one hand over her eyes. Then with the other, he slid it down her arm. He could tell she was relaxing, which was perfect. He lifted her hand, and said, "Alright, now point." She did as he said, But he could tell, now she was becoming the old Rory again, reserved and shy and she didn't like all the contact. Quit pushing DuGrey. "Relax Rory." He could tell she was trying. She's probably feeling guilty about being here with Logan. No one forced her… He need to calm down. "Alright now move your fingers along the movies and then pick one." She nodded and five seconds later, she pulled out a movie. He laughed out loud and when she looked at it, she laughed too.
"I haven't seen this in forever!" He nodded. "I know, me either." He took her hand again, but kept his grip loose, letting her know she could pull away. We walked in towards the couch and sat down while he popped in the movie. Great, so much for any of this. "So, Logan's doing a little better." He didn't flinch visibly this time, but he knew that comment was meant to make him as uncomfortable as she was. "Rory, I…" "Shhh." She cut him off, and he nodded. "Movie's starting." He nodded at her and then looked at the TV. "Tristan…" "Shhh. Movie's on." He passed me the popcorn that had somehow magically come out of the microwave. "Tristan…." He sighed, he wanted nothing more than to push her down on the couch and make out like a couple of crazy teenagers, and if she didn't quit whispering his name, he might. "Rory, it's alright. I made you uncomfortable. I'm sorry alright?" she nodded "It's just…"
He hit the pause button and looked at me. "You have Logan, you're uncomfortable because we're attracted to each other, we always have been. You feel guilty because you'd rather be here with me than wherever with him. It's alright. Honestly, I'm glad. I'm glad you'd rather be here. This is the most fun I've had in ages, and I can't believe I'm admitting that to you, but I am. If I make you uncomfortable tell me, I'll stop. If you want to leave, say so." He took a deep breath and then put his hand to her face. Her eyes fluttered closed momentarily and his heart almost beat out of his chest. She's so beautiful. "Because Rory?" She opened my eyes, and he wanted to smirk at the difficulty. "I'll be here when you decide you want to come back." She started to open her mouth to speak, when he cut her off again. "For now, can we just watch the movie." All she did was nod. Good… No more awkwardness. And then she reached for his hand.
