to Jess's character. We're going to say he's rich. Luke 
doesn't really know. You will find out why he's rich

Rory Gilmore's odyssey from Hartford Connecticut to 
Madrid Spain, confusion reins.

   ***************
   * CHAPTER - 1 *
   ***************


He woke with a start. He realized immediately that it had 
been Lorelei's yelling that had been the cause. He could 
hear her and his uncle Luke arguing downstairs in the 
diner. He was sure they liked each other. They argued 
constantly, usually about Lorelei's coffee addiction. 
Sometimes about Rory's coffee addiction. He heard his 
name and started to pay attention. They were arguing 
about him...and Rory!

"Luke, they're not little kids anymore. We can't keep 
them away from each other. They are just friends anyway. 
And besides, Rory has Dean, and they love each other."

"A Bag Boy, not an big improvement. I just don't want 
Rory to get hurt. Jess is not stable. The kid stole a 
gnome! A gnome, Lorelei. What kind of kid steals a 
gnome?"

"The kind of kid who's hurting. I don't want him and Rory 
together either. I don't want her to get hurt. But it 
looks like they're going to be friends. We can't stop 
them, and if we try they're still going to be friends 
anyway. Maybe Rory will even be good influence on Jess. 
You know, shape him up a bit."

Jess couldn't believe she was sticking up for him. He had 
been such a jackass to her. Putting on his nice jeans, a 
wife-beater and a checked over-shirt he made his way 
downstairs. Luke and Lorelei were now arguing about 
coffee.

Sneaking behind his uncle Jess filled a cup and handed to 
Lorelei. 

"I love you. I now like you better then Luke." she 
rambled, smiling at him. Then looking at back at Luke, "I 
like him better than you, you've been replaced." 

"Good! Does this mean you won't come in here and bug me 
every morning?"

"Nope," then seeing her daughter walk in, "RORY! RORY! 
Guess what!"

"What?"

"Jess is my new best friend, he brought me coffee, when 
the mean man wouldn't." 

"Mom, how many cups have you had today?"

"Only 1 or 2 or 10. That's okay, right?"

"It's only noon."

"So? I had a bad day at the inn. Michele was being 
impossible! He yelled at a Frenchmen. Only he didn't know 
he was French and the dude understood every French swear 
word he said."

"Dude?"

"It's a good word."

"Ok, whatever," Rory said. "Jess, coffee please?"

"Here you go. You both have a problem."

"We know." *He's cute. Why did I never see that before? 
That smile is adorable. He's just a friend though. I have 
Dean, I love Dean. Don't I? I like him though.* 

"Rory? Are you ok?"

"What? Oh yeah, I'm fine, I was just thinking about 
things."

"I asked if you wanted to go to the mall with me today. 
This is the last of the "nice" clothes I have. The one's 
that Luke thinks are nice anyway," Jess said. 

"Yeah I'll come. Only if you treat me to a Starbucks 
coffee though." 

"It would be my pleasure." 

"You wanna go now?"

"Sure," Rory looked her mom who was talking to Luke about 
the new inn that her and Sookie were going to open soon. 
"Mom, Jess and I want to go to the mall. Can I barrow the 
car?"

"Um...well," Lorelei looked at Luke who just shrugged. 
"Yeah okay. Here are the keys and the cell phone, call if 
you get into any trouble."

"Okay."

"Bye."

"Bye sweetie."

"Lets go Jess."

"Okay."

Luke looked at jess, "Here's my credit card. Don't let 
Rory touch it. Last time one of the Gilmore girls had 
that card she bought me a suit."

Lorelei jumped in, "Oh, but it was 150% off. How could I 
not buy it? Plus now you have something to wear to my 
mother's this Friday."

"Well, ok I do need some...wait a minute why am I going 
to your mother's place?"

Rory and Jess walked out just as Lorelei started to 
explain, "She wants to meet you and..."

Rory laughed, "You know if she talks him into it you'll 
have to go also."

"Hm, not really?"

"Yup really. You have to come and keep me company. I'll 
show you the house and the pool, the balcony where a was 
conceived..."

"You were conceived on a balcony? wasn't that cold?"

"I don't know, I wasn't there." 

"True enough."

"You want to go to the good mall or the okay mall?"

"How far is the good mall?"

"About three hours away."

"Ok, good mall it is."



   ***************
   * CHAPTER - 2 *
   ***************


When they got to the mall it was past 3 o'clock, so they 
had about 4 hours left before the mall closed. They 
walked through the mall with Rory heading right to 
Abercrombie and Fitch. Jess declared that it was it all 
to preppie but ended up buying a few shirts and some 
khakis anyway.

Rory almost swooned when she saw the bill. 

"Jess, only rich people buy that much stuff from here. 
You were supposed to buy just one thing here. Luke is 
going to kill you."

"Don't worry, this is my credit card, not Luke's."

"Where did you get a credit card?"

"My grandfather. He didn't like my dad, but set up a 
healthy trust fund for me. when he died I got everything. 
I miss him a lot. Well, lets do some more shopping. Shall 
we?"

"Sure, how about the Gap next?"

"Works for me."

They spent another two hours shopping for clothes. Rory 
bought a few things with money she had. When she realized 
she needed some pajamas, she decided to make a quick stop 
at Victoria's Secret. She picked out some very modest 
PJ's. She was ready to go when Jess picked up a not so 
modest gown. The gown was pretty, but was sheer silk. It 
would cover her breasts and from her hips barely down to 
her thighs and that was it. 

"Jess, I don't think that's your size," Rory said as he 
walked up to the counter holding the gown.

"It's for you, not me. It's not really my color."

"Jess I can't wear that!"

"Yes you can."

"No, I can't. Not around anyone."

"Fine, wear it when you're alone then."

"Jess..." she started. But he interrupted her.

"Rory I'm buying it. If you won't wear it, fine. But I am 
buying it. For you."

"Ok, fine."

"Fine."

He paid for the nightie, and they left. They started back 
for Stars Hallow. Rory was a little unset with Jess. She 
didn't like him buying that nightgown for her, she kept 
looking sideways at him when he was looking at her. Rory 
wondered why he'd insisted on buy her something so sexy.

About 20 minutes into the journey home the car stopped. 
It just stopped dead, no warning or anything. At first 
Jess was baffled, but finally figured out that it had 
something to do with the radiator. A tow truck came and 
got them and the jeep. 

The tow truck guy dropped them off at a "nice" hotel and 
said that the jeep wouldn't be ready until the morning.

"Well, I guess I'll go get us checked in," Jess said.

"I'll call my mom and Luke." Rory knew that they were 
both ignoring the fact that they had to spend the night 
together. They would be in separate rooms though, so it 
wasn't that bad. She dialed Luke's Diner, figuring her 
mom would be there. 

"Hi, who's this?"

"Hi it's Rory. Jess and I are stuck. Mom's car broke 
down. We got it towed and are gonna spend the night in a 
hotel off the interstate. We just wanted to let you know 
we're okay."

"Where are you? I'm coming to get you," Luke said.

"No, mom's car will be ready tomorrow morning. It's 
Saturday and neither of us have to go to school, so it's 
alright."

"You're not gonna tell me where you are, are you?"

"Nope."

"Ok, then let me talk to Jess."

"Ok I'll get him," Rory walked into the lobby and handed 
Jess the phone.

"Hello?"

"Keep your hands and your everything else off Rory, you 
understand me!" Luke was fuming.

"Um, okay. I wasn't planning on touching her."

"Jess, you're my nephew, but I'll still kill you if you 
hurt Rory."

"Ok, I gotta go." He didn't wait for a reply but pushed 
the "end" button on the cell phone. "Those people really 
love you. Luke is gonna kill you if I touch you. He said 
so."

"Well since were gonna be in separate rooms, we don't 
have to worry about that."

"Rory, they only have one room left."

"Well, it still has two beds. Right?"

"It's the honeymoon suite."

"You have got to be joking me. I am not staying in the 
honeymoon suite with you."

"Ok, you can sleep in the pool. C'mon Rory, you can have 
the bed. I'll sleep on the floor."

"Okay, fine." 

"Great, here's the key, we're on the 10th floor. I'm 
going to grab some clothes. I'll get some of the stuff 
you bought also. They're sending up toothbrushes, 
toothpaste, razors, shaving cream and all that."

"Okay."

Ten minutes later Jess was at their room.

"Jess, can you hand me my pajamas please?" Rory asked.

"Sure, here you go," he said holding up the black sheer 
nightie. 



   ***************
   * CHAPTER - 3 *
   ***************



"You have got to be joking! I'm not wearing that," Rory 
eyes the garment warily.

"You have to, the guy with the tow truck has already 
gone. This is all I brought for you."

"JESS! How could you do that?"

"It was easy, I grabbed a bag of your stuff and a bag of 
my stuff. I didn't do it on purpose."

"Okay fine, I guess it's better than nothing."

"Only in your opinion."

The only response he got was a scowl. As Rory went into 
the bathroom to change Jess had only one though on his 
mind. *Rory* Her name kept running through his mind. He 
couldn't stop thinking about her. He imagined her 
undressing in the bathroom and the thought of her naked 
only served to make his heart beat faster and his body 
responded as well. 

Rory on the other hand, was upset with Jess. Although she 
was becoming less and less upset with him as she dressed 
in the skimpy nightgown he had bought her. By the time 
she saw him lying on the floor with a pillow and a 
blanket, she was glad they were stuck in the hotel 
together. They could talk and get to know each other 
better. She could see he wasn't wearing a shirt. 

Jess turned over to look at her when he sensed her 
staring at him. She looked awesome. He could see through 
the nightgown. She was still wearing her bra and panties 
under it, but everything else was visible. He could see 
the gentle rise of her breasts, and it took his breath 
away. She was absolutely gorgeous. 

Rory could now see Jess' rock hard abs and chest. She 
thought that he had a magnificent body. She could see his 
lean stomach and hipbones. Yes, he was hot looking, there 
was no denying that. 

"Jess, do you want to sleep on the bed? The floor looks 
so hard and cold. There's enough room for the two of us."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah the bed is plenty big enough. You can keep to your 
side and I can keep to mine. No problem."

"Thanks, the floor is hard," he said as he climbed onto 
the bed."

Rory mumbled, "You're welcome," and turned off the light. 

"Good night Rory." 

"G'night Jess." 

When Rory woke in the morning she didn't know where she 
was at first. She did however know that she was being 
tightly held to a well-muscled chest. She looked up to 
see that the chest was Jess' and the previous night 
instantly flashed into her mind. With her head at the 
angle it was, she could feel Jess's breath on her lips. 
She reached up with her free hand and brushed a lock of 
hair out of his eyes. He woke up.

"Good morning Rory."

"Good morning," she said, her voice sounding soft and way 
more sexy than she had intended. 

"Did you sleep well?"

"Yes. Very."

He very gently kissed her on the lips. He couldn't resist 
it. But instead of pushing him away as he had suspected 
she would, she pulled him closer. Rory rolled over a bit 
pulling him on top of her. His tongue licked her lips, 
begging for entrance. She opened her mouth and let his 
tongue explore her mouth while hers explored his. She 
slid her hand down his shoulder to his chest. He gently 
cupped her breast, his thumb rubbing across her nipple, 
which gently peaked and became hard.

Jess began gently kissing Rory all over her face and then 
down to her neck. Finally he started kissing her breasts, 
and then a nipple. When Rory moaned he pulled the top of 
her sheer nightgown down and reached behind her back to 
un-hook her bra. 

*God Jess, you can't do this to her. She's way too 
innocent. She would never forgive you.* He stopped and 
just looked into her eyes her for a minute. Deciding that 
this wasn't the time. Rory should have candles and 
moonlight. 

"Jess, what's the matter?"

"We can't do this."

"Why not?"

"Your not ready."

"How do you know, I suppose your some kind of expert. 
Being the "bad boy" and all."

"I don't want to fight with you. We can't do this and you 
know it. Go get dresses I'll call a cab to get us to the 
garage."

"Okay. I'm sorry."

"Nothin to be sorry for."

Rory got up and began to dress. Jess had almost seen her 
in a lot less, a bra and her panties covered more than a 
bathing suit would anyway, he thought. But he still 
turned his back. Putting on some khakis and a an 
Abercrombie t-shirt. Rory watched him dress, and she 
wanted him. But he was right she wasn't ready for that, 
or for him yet. 


   ***************
   * CHAPTER - 4 *
   ***************


"Jess, I really am sorry. I didn't mean the bad boy 
thing. If you haven't noticed, I say things I don't mean 
sometimes."

"It's okay. No offence taken. And you were right, I'm not 
exactly Mr. Perfect. I've done things that..."

"Jess," Rory interrupted. "I really don't need to know 
that, your sexual escapades are none of my business."

"Yeah you do, and yes they are. If we're going to do 
this, we need to do it right. No secrets, no lies. I'm 
not a virgin, Rory. That's a fact. You want another fact? 
I like you, a lot. I don't want to hurt you and I don't 
want to do something you're not ready for."

"Wow, lots to digest. Jess, I like you too. You're right 
no secrets. No lies."

"So...?"

"So what?"

"Are you?"

"Am I what? A virgin? I've kissed two guys, excluding 
you. And yours was most definitely the best."

"Two? I know of one," he said as they got into the cab.

"Dean and Tristan."

"Did you like Tristan?"

"No of course not. Why would you ask that?"

"The way you said his name. Do you have serious history 
with him?"

"Yes, I do but not good history. Long story. One I don't 
feel like sharing right now."

"Okay."

They spent the rest of the ride to the garage in silence. 
Rory pulled a book out of her purse. Jess watched her 
thoughtfully, *Tristan, hmm, I wonder what went on with 
him. She never answered my question. Maybe she's not a 
virgin. I've never met the guy and I hate him already. He 
hurt her. Or maybe she hurt him.*

"Jess? We're here."

"Yeah I know!"

"Oh, sorry."

"Didn't mean to snap at you."

They got out of the cab, Jess handing the taxi driver two 
twenty's, telling the driver to keep the change. 

"Jess that ride probably cost, 5 dollars."

"So?"

"So, you gave him a $35 tip?"

"Yeah?"

"I just thought you might have handed him that by 
accident."

"Nothing I do is by accident Rory. Nothing."

"Oh."

The mechanic came up to them. "100 dollars for parts, 
$200 for labor."

"Okay," Jess said pulling out his wallet. 

"Jess, I'll pay you back later."

"No need."

"Jess..."

"God Rory. I'm doing you a favor, do you have to argue 
about everything?" 

"No. I just, I just..."

"Yeah?"

"Never mind." 

Bill paid, Jess looked at Rory and asked, "You wanna go 
home?"

"Luke's first, I need Coffee, badly."

"Okay."

When they got too Luke's they were surprised to find it 
locked up tight. There was a note on the door from Luke 
and Lorelei. 

[Since you two seem to be able to make it on your own, we 
decide you can live together for a while. Jess your stuff 
is at the house. Lorelei and I are out. See you soon. 
Bye. Love always, Luke and Lorelei - PS: Leave the jeep 
here.]

"Wow, they must really be mad," Jess said, stating the 
obvious.

"We have to live together?"

"I guess so."

"Okay then lets go home."

"Okay snookems."

"Don't push it."

"Kay."

They got to Rory's house. Rory walked straight to her 
room to put her stuff down. None of her stuff was there. 
There was a note the bed. [You guys get the master 
bedroom.]

"Jess! You have to help me move my stuff. They want us to 
room together."

"So? Wait, your mom still has a key right?"

"Yeah?"

"Lets give her a taste of her own medicine, shall we?"

"What do you mean?"

"Lets sleep together. They're bound to peak. They expect 
you to move your stuff back into your room. Don't. 
They'll be scared senseless that their little Rory is 
sleeping with the bad boy. They'll stop this charade in a 
minute." 

"You think?"

"Yup, sure of it."

"Ok, lets go to bed."

"Rory, it's like 8PM."

"Never said we were gonna sleep," she called down. She 
was already half way up the stairs.

"Wow. You're joking right?" he hollered on his way up.

"Maybe."

By the time he found the room Rory was getting dressed in 
her nightclothes.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it. You coming to bed?" she inquired 
as she climbed in.

"To sleep yes."

"Ok. Whatever. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Rory."

Jess wondered what the hell was going on in her head. 
*Did she really want to sleep with him? Why was she doing 
this? She hadn't put up a fight when he had suggested 
that they sleep in the same room to freak Lorelei and 
Luke out. Maybe she wants it? Rory is quite the paradox.* 

Rory was silently wondering what the hell she was doing 
also, *Was she really 
trying to seduce Jess? She wondered why he didn't seem to 
want her. He made her 
tingle. Like no one else. Dean never made her tingle. 
Maybe he's right, I'm not ready yet, but why would he 
care? Does he really care? Or is it just that he doesn't 
want me? What's wrong with me anyway?*

They both decided to stop thinking about the other and 
turned on their sides to go to sleep. 

Luke and Lorelei were just getting back to there "place" 
as they had started to call it. They were both giggling. 
An observer would think them drunk. And they were just in 
a different way. With all that had happened with the 
kids, and the worry they had experienced together over 
it, they had finally realized that they loved each other. 
They loved each other a lot.

They had taken a room at the inn and made passionate love 
most of the night. Luke had taken Loralei in his arms and 
kissed her worries away. When morning came they decided 
to let what ever happen, happen. They had also decided to 
go spy on Rory and Jess.

Of course, they both expected Rory to be in her won bed 
and Jess to be back in his above the Diner. They were 
wrong. When they got home they looked in through Rory's 
bedroom window. She was not there. They both stopped 
laughing. "Do you think they really slept together?" Luke 
said in a worried voice.

"Maybe in the same bed... but Rory wouldn't and Jess 
wouldn't... would he? Oh my god, my little girl. She's 
going to end up like me." Lorelei started to cry softly. 

"If she ended up exactly like you she would be the 
luckiest girl in the world."

"Thank you for saying that Luke."

"I speak only the truth."

"Nuh uh, you say coffee is bad. You lie."

"Sweetheart you can have all the coffee you want."

"Okay."

They decide to go home without checking on the kids. They 
were old enough to make their own decisions. They were 
smart and Loralei was so certain that her daughter would 
make the right choices that she suddenly felt carefree.

When they got back to Luke's apartment they fell into bed 
together and had another wonderfully fulfilling night of 
passionate sex. Their love flowered again brighter than 
the night before. Late into the night they finally fell 
asleep in each other's arms. Loralei's last waking 
thought was, how good it was to be with Luke and what a 
stud he'd turned out to be in bed. 

*

Jess woke up with a barley clad Rory in his arms. She 
must have shed some of her clothes. He had to admit he 
was hot. Or maybe it was the heat of her soft uncovered 
body next to his.

He lay there with his arm around her, stared down at her 
body, covered only by a pair of boxer shorts that she 
must have slept in. 

Rory moaned softly and snuggled closer to him, pressing 
her firm bare breasts against his chest. God he wanted 
her. He kissed her gently on the mouth. She tilted her 
head into his kiss and, responding enthusiastically, 
kissed him back.



   ***************
   * CHAPTER - 5 *
   ***************



After the room temperature rose to impossible heights, 
Jess finally got a hold of his senses and pulled his lips 
away from hers. She was vulnerable, he thought. She 
wasn't ready. Maybe he wasn't either, he realized.

Sure he'd had sex before. But not with anyone special. 
Both times had been with slutty girls who wanted nothing 
more from him than a stiff penis. They hadn't loved him, 
and he hadn't loved them. Rory was special. Very special. 
He just laid there, looking down into her big beautiful 
eyes. 

"I..." Rory started out, not quite ready to tell him that 
she loved him. She thought he loved her. 

Jess rose over her, his chest barley touching hers. His 
cheeks flushed. His breathing heavy. "Yeah?"

"I...Um....lets go get coffee?"

"Yeah sure. You think Mister and Missus Danes will let us 
in?"

"My mother would never deprive me of coffee."

"Oh okay."

They got up and got dressed. Rory dressed a little more 
daring than normal. And for the first time she didn't 
mind that Jess was watching her do it. And she liked 
watching Jess pull on his pants. Then she saw her Chilton 
Prep school uniform. "Jess? What day is it?"

"It must be Monday."

"Oh my god, we're late for school." 

"Did you have anything important today?"

"Oh god I have a huge test in world history!"

"What time do you have that class?"

"It's my last class, why?"

"I'll drive you."

"You don't have a car."

"Oh right. Do you have anyone from Chilton who could come 
pick you up? It's almost lunch time."

"I'll call."

Rory called five different people. None of them could 
pick her up. Finally she called her last option. Tristan. 
He would be in geometry right now. She didn't know if 
he'd answer his cell phone. 

"Yeah?"

She heard a Teacher in the background, "I hope that's an 
important call Mr. DuGray."

"All my calls are important," getting back to Rory.... 
"Who is this?"

"It Rory."

"Oh. What do you want?"

Do you think you could come pick me up. I over slept and 
nobody could give me a ride. And we have that big test 
today. I know it's a lot to ask," she could here 
shuffling. 

"Mr. DuGray, what are you doing?"

"Leaving."

"Why."

"Got better places to be." 

She could here a door open and shut. "Tristan, I didn't 
mean for you to leave in the middle of class. You're 
going to get in trouble."

At the name Tristan Jess' ear perked up and he listened. 
He could even here Tristan's end of the conversation. 

"It's okay Rory. Not like I haven't been in trouble 
before. Now give me your address."

She gave him directions to Luke's, telling him that 
that's were she'd be. 

"Kay, be there in 20 minutes."

"Tristan, it takes 40 minutes if you break every law 
known to man."

"I'll brake them all and then some."

"Thank you."

"Rory I would do anything for you," he hung up not giving 
her time to respond. 

"He's just a friend?" Jess asked. Fearing the answer.

"He's not even a friend. Lets go, I need that coffee," 
she mumbled as she took off the blouse she had put one 
earlier and started to put on her school uniform. Jess 
thought she looked gorgeous.

Rory grabbed her bag, looked at him and headed down the 
stairs and out the door. He dressed in a hurry and ran to 
catch up with her. She had tears in her eyes. 

"Rory why are you crying?"

"I'm not."

"Fine. Whatever," he suddenly pissed. Why couldn't she 
just open up to him? 

She liked Tristan. It seemed a lot. Maybe more than she 
liked him. Maybe she even loved him. She walked on 
quietly, and Jess began to wonder what he'd done to lose 
her friendship, or whatever they'd had. They arrived at 
Luke's.

When they walked in they found Ms. Patty yelling at Luke 
and Lorelei. "You two should be ashamed of yourselves. 
Letting Rory and that little hoodlum spend the night 
together. Alone!"

Rory was getting red in the face as Ms. Patty started to 
say more bad things about Jess. Rory grabbed Jess' hand 
and pulled him outside. He was hurt. She could tell. She 
wanted to make him feel better.

"You have school. That guy will be here to pick you up in 
a minute," Jess spat. 

Rory pulled him to her and kissed him, reaching up and 
pulling him to her. She knew that he was upset about 
Tristan, and she didn't know what to do about it. 
Suddenly she knew that she wanted to be with Tristan.

*What was that about she thought to herself. Why did I 
think that? Then a picture of Tristan flashed in her 
head, and she started to have doubts about her feeling 
for Jess. 

Rory pulled away from Jess just as Tristan pulled up in 
his silver corvette convertible. He stepped out of the 
car and her heart fluttered. She'd missed him. She 
couldn't talk to him at school. She barley saw him even. 

"Hi Mary. What's up?"

"Tristan, you know my name is Rory."

"Oh, okay, Rory."

"Bye babe," Jess said as he walked up and gave her 
another kiss, his tongue slightly sliding into her mouth. 

"Bye," Rory responded a little embarrassed.

She walked over to the car ware Tristan was waiting with 
the door open, and got in. When the radio came on she 
heard a *song* that she liked. Tristan started to sing 
the song along with the radio. 


Would you dance if asked you to dance,
Would you run and never look back,
Would you cry if you saw me,
crying would you save my soul tonight,
Would you tremble if I touched your lips,
Would you laugh oh please tell me this,
Now would you die for the one you love,
Hold me in your arms tonight.

He turned to look at her momentarily and she could tell 
he was singing the song to her. She didn't want him too. 

I can be your hero baby,
I can kiss away the pain,
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away,
Would you swear that you'll,
always be mine.
Would you lie would you remember,
My angel be have I lost my mind,
I don't care you're here tonight,
I can be your hero baby.
I can kiss away the pain,
I will stand by you forever,
You can take my breath away,
Ohhh, I just wanna hold you,
I just wanna hold you, oh yeah.
My angel be have I lost my mind,
I don't care you're here tonight.

She didn't want him to love her. She was still in love 
with Dean, sort of. And she loved Jess. But she wanted 
Tristan. Maybe she loved him too. 

I can be your hero baby,
I can kiss away the pain,
(Oh yeah)
I will stand by you forever,
You can take my breath away,
I can be your hero.
I can kiss away the pain,
And I will stand by you forever,
You can take my breath away,
You can take my breath away,
I can be your hero...

She didn't know why she was having these feelings now. 
She had enough problems. 

Tristan looked sideways at Rory, her face creased in 
concentration. *What is she thinking about. He wondered. 
Her lips curled into a smile. Then she frowned. He was 
singing the song to her. He knew it. She knew it. Neither 
knew how to deal with it.*

"You know Mary, if we don't make it to school, you can 
make up the test. If you're just late you can't. Unless 
you have a good excuse. And I doubt you have a good 
excuse."

"And how would you know what my excuse is?"

"Oh come on. You and that guy, you were obviously having 
some fun last night, and you woke up late."

"It's amazing, truly amazing how you can go from singing 
a sappy love song to being such an ass Tristan!"

"Oooh, sorry Mary didn't mean to talk about your sex 
life. A touchy subject I guess."

"You know what, I'm going to pretend the last five 
minutes never happened. And I am only doing it cause 
Harvard does not except murders!" 

"What about sex addicts?" he looked at her and it seemed 
she was about to cry. "Rory, I'm sorry. I didn't mean 
that. And it's none of my business if you and that kid 
are um, having ah, relationship."

"Your right it's not. And we, um aren't. You know, having 
a relationship, yet. We are however together."

"Oh, okay. Hey do you still want to go to school?"

"I've never missed school, I was late once when a deer 
hit me..."

"Wait you hit a deer?"

"No, It hit me."

"A deer hit you?" He sounded very skeptical.

"Yeah, and it's true so stop looking at me like that."

"Um, ok, so school or no school?"

She thought about it, *she wanted to get away from her 
problems. Away from everything. Except maybe Jess. He 
seamed so right to her. He was the one thing in her brain 
that seemed straight. She decided she needed a break. A 
short break from everyone. She could think about the Jess 
thing.*

"Tris? Lets go."

"Where?" 

"Doesn't matter."

He turned and looked at her. She was serious. She was 
running from something. Something that might not be bad. 
She looked happy as if she'd just won a gold medal or 
something. *Okay, if she wants a vacation, she's got 
one.*

"Your wish is my command. You gonna tell anyone? Phones 
right there if you are."

*I should probably call mom and Luke. And Jess.* She 
decided to call her mom. 

"Coffee shack, this is me, who are you?" Her mom answered 
Luke's phone. Before she could respond she heard Luke 
yelling in the background, "God damnit Taylor I said 
No!!! What part on NO do you not understand?"

"Mom?"

"Hi Rory!"

"Yeah mom, I'm going on a trip."

"What? To where? With who? When? How long will you be 
gone? Can I talk to Jess please? 

"A trip. To somewhere, with Tristan. Now, I don't know 
and Jess is not here. You want talk to Tristan?

"Oh wow, LUKE! She's crazy -- talk to her please!"

"Ok, who is this?"

"Rory."

"Oh okay, hi. Why aren't you in school? Did Jess do 
something? I'm gonna kill him."

"No, don't. He's fine."

"Oh, why is your mom going crazy then?"

"Oh, that's easy. I'm going on a trip with Tristan."

"What!?"

"I'm going on a trip with Tristan. See you later, love 
you both, bye."

She pushed the off button, breathing hard and a little 
nervous. "I still gotta call Jess."

"Kay, Jess, stupid name if you ask me."

Rory dialed her house, hoping Jess had gone back there. 
"The Gilmore Girls house, neither the extremely hot Rory, 
or her mom are here right now..."

"Jess!"

"Oops, hi Rory, what's up?"

"I'm leaving for a bit. See you soon. Love you, bye." *Oh 
my god, did I just say I love you to him?*


Thristan's ears perked up, *Did she just say I love you 
to me? Or did she just say I love you to that creep?* 

"Rory?"

"What?"

"Do you?"

"What?"

"Love him?"

"I, um, well, I..."

   * CHAPTER - 7 *
   ***************



"I um don't really know."

"Okay."

"Tristan?"

"What?"

"I'm sorry."

"About what?"

"Not knowing."

"So where do you wanna go?"

"You're changing the subject."

"Am not. So? Where to?"

"Anywhere."

"Okay."

"He headed toward the airport. Maybe she'd like to see 
France. Spain? England? They drove in silence. He turned 
on the radio again. 

I'm so scared that the way that I feel,
Is written all over my face,
When you walk into the room I wanna find a hiding place,
We used to laugh, we used to hug,
The way that old friends do,
But now a smile and a touch of your hand,
Just make me come unglued.
It's such a contradiction, 
do I lie or tell the truth, 
is it fact or fiction the way I feel for you.

*Wow, that could be me and Tris.* Rory thought nervously.

It's so complicated, I'm so frustrated,
I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away,
I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay,
Should I say it, should I tell you how I feel,
Oh, I want you to know,
But then again I don't,
It's so complicated.

*God, what am I supposed to do? Do I love him? Do I love 
Jess? I think I love them both?*

It's so complicated, I'm so frustrated, 
I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away,
I wanna make you go, 
I wanna make you stay, 
Should I say it, 
should I tell you how I feel,
Oh, I want you to know,
But then again I don't,
It's so complicated.

I hate it 'cause I've waited so long, 
for someone like you,
Should I say it,
Should I tell you how I feel,
Oh I want you to know,
But then again I don't,
It's so complicated.

"Were here!"


"This is the mall."

"Yup."

"Why the mall?"

"Cuz it's next to the airport, and we need stuff."

"Why the airport?"

"Cause you can't drive to Spain?"

"Oh, were going to Spain?"

"After buying some essential items, yes." 

"Ok, wait. I don't have any money."

"I do."

"You can't pay for me to go to Spain."

"Hmmm, well you could always pay me back," he wiggled his 
eye. 

"Well, um how bout, I don't call you Triscuit ever 
again."

"You never call me Triscuit.'

"I could start."

"Okay, works for me."

"So what are the essentials we must have?"

"Some clothes, sun glasses, something to keep us busy on 
the plane."

"Okay. So um, we bring CD's and a laptop?"

"Yup, dump everything else out."

"Okay."

They sorted through their backpacks, Rory leaving 1 book, 
her CD player and CD's. Tristan leaving his CD's, a car 
magazine, CD player, and Game Boy advance. They walked to 
Abercrombie and Fitch. He walked into the men's 
department, handing Rory a credit card. 

"Buy anything you want. Make sure it all fits in your 
backpack though."

"I love a challenge," Rory said brightly.

She grabbed a pair of shorts, a pair of jeans, a long 
sleeved shirt, a tube top, a cute blue bikini and some 
underwear. She paid for the items and went to meet 
Tristan. He had bought pretty much the same stuff. Cargo 
shorts and khaki pants. 2 white wife beaters and 2 over 
shirts and a pair of swim trunks. And some boxers. He had 
paid for his stuff and was ready to go. 

"Lets go to a store that sells accessories. You know hats 
and makeup, uh the make would be for you, not that you 
need it."

She ignored his babbling, "Okay let's go."

When they got to the store Rory and Tristan both bought 
sunglasses, hats and sandals. Rory got some lotion, lip-
gloss and some face powder. She also grabbed some hand 
sanitizer. Tristan had disappeared. He was gone for 
almost a half hour. When he got back he said he was 
sorry, that he had to make a call. With one last odd 
glance from Rory they paid and headed to the airport.

"Tristan, I don't have a passport." 

"That's what you think."

He handed her a passport. It had her picture, her height 
weight, everything."

"Where did you get that?"

"A friend. Made them up. Oh and here's a license."

"I've got one."

"This one matches the passport. Says your 18, which is 
the legal drinking age in Spain."

"Your good."

"Thanks."


   ***************
   * CHAPTER - 8 *
   ***************


Tristan drove them into the airport-parking garage where 
he had to pay an outrageous sum of money to leave the car 
since they didn't know when they'd be back. 

They were both quite. Thinking of the adventure they had 
ahead of them. They didn't know when the next flight 
left, and they didn't care. They would wait all night if 
they had to. After all, all night was only about 16 more 
hours, since it was almost 4PM now.

As they walked into the airport Rory put her hand in 
Tristan's. A small gesture, which meant the world to him, 
*Wow, she took my hand. That's gotta be a good sign. Or 
maybe she just didn't want to get separated. Either way 
she's holding my hand. Just holding my hand. What's so 
monumental about that?* He thought to himself. *It's 
Rory, that's what!* 

Rory looked over at Tristan and the walked to the ticket 
counters, *He's really taking me to Spain. I've never 
been outside Connecticut. We're going to be in so much 
trouble. What's Jess going to think? His hand is so soft. 
He's not at all what I expected. I wonder what's going to 
happen in Spain? Maybe we'll share a room. *RORY* you 
don't want to share a room with him. Do you? *Oh my god. 
I'm talking to myself, in my head. I'm as crazy as my 
mother.*

They were both pulled back to the present when they got 
to the ticket counter. 

"Two first class tickets for Spain on the next flight 
out. Concord please. I also need to make arrangements for 
a hotel when we get there. You do that right?"

"Yes Sir of course. The next flight leaves in 2 hours. 
That doesn't give you much time. Is that all right?"

"Yes."

"Ok the tickets will be $1500 each. Will that be cash or 
credit?"

He looked over at Rory as he handed over his visa. Her 
mouth was gaping. She looked as though she was going to 
protest. He waved his hand and her mouth closed. 

"Ok sir. Am I correct in saying you will want to stay in 
Madrid?"

"Yes."

"Very good. What kind of hotel are you looking for?"

"The best."

"Sir, the best costs close to $3000 a night for 1 room."

"Yeah, and will take two."

"Um Tristan?"

"Yeah Rory?"

"We can get one room if you want," she couldn't believe 
she said it. She hadn't wanted to share a room with Jess, 
but she wanted to with Tristan. 

"Um okay." He looked at the lady, who asked. "One room?"

"Yeah. Looks that way." 

"How old are you two?"

"Both 18."

"Ok. I need to see your passports and licenses."

By the time all the arrangements were made, including a 
limo to pick them at the airport in Madrid, they had only 
45 minutes left. They had just enough time to get through 
security's first class was boarding. They got to their 
seats on the plush plane and a stewardess asked if they 
wanted anything.

Rory of course ordered coffee. While Tristan ordered a 
rum and coke. The stewardess didn't ask to see his ID. 
She complied with their wishes, bringing Tristan his 
drink and Rory hers. 

"You think you should drink that?"

"Rory, it's like 90% coke and 10% rum. No biggie."

"Oh, okay."

"You want anything stronger?"

"Ooh, how about a margarita. I've never had a real one 
before."

"Okay. Miss?"

"Yes sir?"

"Can my girlfriend have a lime margarita please?"

"Sure coming right up. Anything else?"

"No that should do it for now, thank you."

"WE ARE ABOUT READY TO TAKE OFF. PLEASE FASTEN YOUR SEAT 
BELTS. DO NOT UN-FASTEN THEM UNTIL THE SEAT BELT LIGHT IS 
TURNED OFF. WE SHOULD REACH OUR DESTINATION IN ABOUT 10 
HOURS. HAVE A NICE FLIGHT AND THANK YOU FOR FLYING THE 
CONCORD."

"Here you are miss," a new flight attendant said, handing 
Rory her drink. 

Rory noticed her name badge and said, "Thank you Leah."

"Your most welcome."

Rory liked to the drink right away. Half way threw the 
drink she stopped and looked at Tristan who was smiling 
at her. His drink might have hardly any alcohol, but hers 
had quite a bit. 

"Rory. Stop drinking that. It's not a Slurpy."

"It's good."

"As much as I would love to see you drunk, an airplane is 
not the place to do it."

"Fine."

He drifted off to sleep as he watched her read the book 
she had brought along. He woke up when he heard a 
shatter. The first thing he saw was a frightened Rory and 
3 margarita glasses. Empty margarita glasses. 

"Oh my god. Rory!"

"Hiya. How are you?"

Her words were slightly slurred. She looked very happy, 
and very drunk. 

"Ror, did you drink 3 of those?" He was worried about 
her.

"Nope. I also drank the one whose glass I just dropped. 
Oops. Poor glass. We should give it a nice funeral. It 
didn't deserve to die."

She looked so serious. He couldn't help but laugh. 

"Rory. Go too sleep," she did. He motioned for the flight 
attendant. 

"Sir is she all right. She was tipsy after the first. I 
made sure the rest didn't have any alcohol in them."

He laughed again. He could do 10 shots of tequila and 
feel fine. She was barley coherent after one. 

"Thank you." 

"No problem. I over heard you tell her not to drink the 
rest of the first one so..."

"Well thanks, I appreciate that."

They both slept until about two hours before the plane 
was scheduled to land in Madrid. 

"Tristan? My head hurts."

"Huh?" he woke up completely. He was worried. She didn't 
handle alcohol all that well.

"My head hurts."

"No wonder. You drank too much. "

"Ugh. Do you have any aspirin?"

"Yeah, here you go. Take these."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

By the time they had an hour until plane landed, the 
pills had done their magic and Rory was back to normal. 
Almost. She still had an over whelming urge to kiss 
Tristan. He saw her eying him.

"You wanna become part of the mile high club with the 
hottest guy on the plane?"

"Yeah sure. Where is he?"

"Ha, ha, ha. Very funny."

"I thought so."

After about 20 minutes the light came on telling them to 
buckle up. The plane was landing. They were in SPAIN!!



   ***************
   * CHAPTER - 9 *
   ***************


It took a while to get threw customs but there fake IDs 
were very real, and passed inspection. They didn't have 
to go threw baggage claim, as all they had were their 
backpacks. They went over to the pick up area. They saw a 
man holding a sign, which said, "MR. AND MRS. DUGREY". 
Tristan just laughed but Rory looked very surprised for a 
moment, and then started to laugh also. The man looked 
sternly at the two laughing teenagers.

"I'm Mr. DuGrey, this is not my wife but my um..."

"I'm his friend Rory Gilmore," Rory cut in.

"Ah Well, Very good. If you both fallow me, we'll go to 
the limo now, if there's nothing else you need," he said 
while eying their backpacks. 

"This is all we have. We figured we'd shop while were 
here."

"Yes of course."

The limo was right outside the door in a high priority 
parking space. As they were getting in the car Tristan's 
cell phone rang. He answered it. Even though he thought 
it might be his parents. 

"Hello?"

"What the hell do you think you're doing? You can't just 
take somebody's daughter on a trip with you without 
telling her parents! You just don't!"

"Ms. Gilmore?"

Rory's ears perked up at the name and she started to 
listen.

"Yes! Of course it's me and when I get my hands on you 
I'm going to wring you little ne.... Luke, give me back 
the damn phone."

"This Tristan?"

"Uumm yes?"

"Is Rory okay?"

"Of course."

"In that case, what the hell do you think you were doing? 
Where are you? I'm coming to pick her up right away."

"Were not exactly in the same country as you right now."

"I hope to god you said county and not country."

"I said country."

"You took her out of the country? How? She doesn't even 
have a passport!"

"Well I had someone make up some fake ones really quick."

"You what!?"

"Tristan, give me the phone," Rory reached for it.

"Okay, only because they sound scary."

"Hello?"

"Rory are you okay? Where are you? Are you in Mexico?"

"Yes, somewhere and no."

"Your mom wants to talk to you."

"RORY! Do you know how much trouble you're in. Going away 
and with that evil one! Dean and Jess are worried sick 
about you. So am I."

"I'm sorry. I just needed to get away. Tristan has a big 
imagination. When I said away I meant the mall or 
something. He thought I meant Timbuktu."

"Your in Timbuktu?"

"No I'm not actually in Timbuktu." Tristan started to 
laugh at that statement.

"Dean wants to talk to you."

"Okay."

"Hey Rory. What in god's name made you go off with that 
jackass?"

"I donno. Let me talk to Jess please," Tristan stopped 
laughing.

"Rory? Are you okay? Where are you?" He sounded generally 
concerned unlike Dean who sounded jealous and pissed. 

"I'm fine. In a limo."

"Oh, ok. I didn't need details that specific about your 
location. Be less specific."

"Not in Stars Hallow."

"Okay fine, if you don't want me to know, that's okay. I 
thought we had something?"

"We do. I just don't know what. Tell Dean its over. I 
gotta go. I'll call you later. Bye."

"I love you Rory."

"I know." She felt horrible not saying it back, because 
she did love him. She just wasn't sure if it was a 
boyfriend or a brotherly love she felt for him. He was 
silent and she pushed the off button."

"So, you just broke up with Dean through Jess, who you 
love, while you're on your way to hotel with me?"

"Yup, I guess so."

"Wow. OK. Look at that we're at the hotel."

"Oooh it's so big."

"I guess."



   ****************
   * CHAPTER - 10 *
   ****************



The hotel was very elegant. The lobby had white and black 
leather couches and chairs. Everything was glass, marble, 
silver and leather. Designed to look sleek and elegant at 
the same time. They walked up to the front desk. The 
woman who stood behind it was dressed in an elegant 
uniform. 

"Si, Senoir?"

"We have reservations. DuGrey, penthouse." 

The receptionist eyed him doubtfully. 

"Here you are. I'll need to see your identification."

Tristan gave her his fake license. 

"Ok, Sir. Here are your keys. The bellhop will help you 
with your things. There will be a map of the hotel in 
your suite. Do you have any questions?"

"Nope, I think that about covers it. Thanks." 

The elegant lady cringed at the words 'nope' and 
'thanks'.

The bellhop came over taking Rory and Tristan's 
backpacks. "Do you have anymore luggage Senoir?"

"No, that's all of it." 

"You obviously don't plan on going out much," the bellhop 
smiled at the young couple.

"Not if I have anything to say about." 

Rory slapped his arm playfully, but hard. "I don't plan 
for us to come out at all," she laughed at the look of 
utter shock on the man's face. 

"We'll here we are, the penthouse. Anything else I can 
do?"

"No. Thank you very much," Tristan said as he handed him 
a 20-dollar bill. 

"Thank you senoir."

"No problem."

Rory walked in and sat down on the bed and cried out in 
shock as it moved. 

"It's a water bed Rory."

"I realize that."

"So what do you want to do?"

"I donno, it's pretty late. And it's raining."

"Do you just want to order some room service and go to 
sleep?"

"That would be great."

"What do you like?"

"Surprise me. I'm going to go take a quick shower."

"Ok. How do you like your steak?"

"Well done."

"Ok."

"And Tristan."

"Yeah?"

"Coffee, please?"

"Sure thing."

"Thanks." Rory walked into the bathroom and gasped. It 
was huge! There was a tub as big as Rory's whole bathroom 
at home. She opted for the shower though, which was next 
to the tub. She really wanted to take a bath but decided 
against it, she didn't want to take that much time. 
*Maybe Tris and I can try it out later.* She thought. *Oh 
my god. Where did that thought come from? I don't even 
like him like that.* She stepped into the shower. And an 
image of Tristan all soapy and wet came to her mind. 

Meanwhile Tristan was ordering dinner. "This is the pent 
house. I need two filet minion steaks one medium rare and 
one well done. Two baked potatoes, with the works. And 
the best bottle of wine you have. Yes thank you."

He figured he had better call the maid back home and tell 
her where he was. He started to get dressed. He was 
shirtless and pulling his pants on and talking on the 
phone when Rory opened the bathroom door. In only a 
towel.

He fell over onto the bed. Rory shrieked and ran to help 
him up. Forgetting about the towel and offering him her 
hands. The towel dropped, down to her hips before she 
grabbed it. 

"Oops," she said as she started to cover herself up. "I 
forgot my bag."

"Oh."

"Are you okay Tristan?"

"I think I hit my head." 

"Why? You're not by anything to hit your head."

"Cuz I'm hallucinating."

"Oh. Yeah sorry about the little show."

"Not much of a show, didn't eve get to stuff $20's in 
your G-string. Course you probably aren't wearing one."

"Nope. Hey I need to call my mom. Can I use your phone?"

"Yeah sure, its on the...uh...um..."

"Bed?"

"Yes... the bed..."

"Ok."

She picked up the phone and called the inn. 

"Hello?" Michele answered.

"Hi. Can I talk to my mom?"

"No."

"Why not."

"She is not here."

"Can you tell her I'll try to reach her later?"

"Do I look like a messenger?"

"I don't know. Do you?"

"Ugh. Try Luke's, you insufferable little child." 

"Thank you."

"Ugh. Good bye."

She hung up and dialed Luke's.

"Hello."

"Hi. Jess."

"Ror? Hi."

"Hi."

"Hi."

"Um, can I talk to my mom?"

"Yeah sure. Call your house."

"Oh. She moved back in?"

"They both did. Sense there are two of them they get the 
bigger house.'

"Oh."

"Um Rory, do you.... um.... you know?"

"No idea what your talking about."

"Never mind. I gotta go."

"Kay. And Jess?" she looked to see if Tristan was 
listening. He had disappeared."

"Yeah?"

"I don't know how I love you. But I do."

"Yeah okay." 

Tristan walked out. Rory didn't see him.

"I do love you."

"I love you too Rory. And I'll take your love in anyway I 
can get it."

"Bye."

"Bye."

She looked over to see Tristan turn around and walk out 
the door. 

"Wait!"

"Why? You've made your choice. You want him. That's fine, 
I understand. I'm leaving."

He threw down a credit card. 

"Here. That should get you home," with that he walked out 
the door. She might fallow but first she had to get 
dressed. 

She threw on the first thing she saw. His boxers and his 
T-shirt, and her sandals. She flew out the door in time 
to see the elevator close. She ran down the stairs as 
fast as she could. At first she thought she was too late. 
She saw the limo driving away. She also saw a cab. She 
jumped in and said, "Fallow that car!"

"Ok miss."

"Don't loose it."

"Who is?"

"A friend." 

The driver was driving like a maniac. Weaving in and out 
of traffic trying to keep up with the limo. It was headed 
to the airport. 

"Only a friend?"

"Maybe more. If he ever talks to me again."

They stopped in front of the airport unloading area. 
Tristan was already going inside. Rory reached for the 
$20 she had in her pocket. 

"Don't worry about it. Go get your man," the cabby said 
with a big smile.

She started to run. "Thanks," she shouted over the sound 
of the rain.

By the time she made it into the terminal she was soaked. 
She saw Tristan in the middle of terminal, sitting, head 
in his hands. 

"TRISTAN!"

He looked up, surprised to see her there. Soaking wet, 
and in his underwear. 

"Rory? What are you doing?

"I can't let you leave like this. We need to talk. 
Please."

"Talk. I have nothing to say."

"Come back with me. Please?"

"Fine." The word came out of his mouth dry. *She didn't 
love him. She just didn't want to be stuck here without 
him.* He thought.

"Ok."

"I suppose you want to go back to the hotel?"

"Yeah."

"Ok." 

They took a cab through the streets back to the grand 
hotel. The driver turned on the radio to a popular 
station and began to sing along in English. It was an old 
Madonna song made way to an O-town song. 

I know when he's been on your mind,
That distant look is in your eyes,
I thought with time you'd realize,
It's over, over.
It's not the way I choose to live,
And something somewhere's got to give,
As sharing this relationship gets older, older,
You know I'd fight for you.
But how I can fight someone who isn't even there,
I've had the rest of you now I want the best of you.
I don't care if that's not fair,
Cause I want it all,
Or nothing at all,
There's nowhere left to fall,
When you reach the bottom it's now or never,
Is it all!
Or are we just friends,
Is this how it ends,
With a simple telephone call,
You leave me here with nothing at all.
There are times it seems to me,
I'm sharing you with memories,
I feel it in my heart,
But I don't show it, show it,
And then there's times you look at me,
As though I'm all that you can see.
Those times I don't believe it's right,
I know it, know it,
Don't make me promises,
Baby you never did know how to keep them well.
I've had the rest of you,
Now I want the best of you, 
It's time for show and tell,
Cause I want it all,
Or nothing at all.
There's nowhere left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never 
Is it all 
Or are we just friends 
Is this how it ends 
With a simple telephone call 
You leave me here with nothing at all
Cause you and I
Could lose it all if you've got no more room 
No room inside for me in your life
Cause I want it all 
Or nothing at all 
There's nowhere left to fall 
It's now or never
Cause I want it all 
Or nothing at all 
There's nowhere left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never 
Is it all 
Or are we just friends 
Is this how it ends 
With a simple telephone call 
You leave me here with nothing at all
Cause I want it all 
Or nothing at all 
There's nowhere left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never 
Is it all 
Or are we just friends 
Is this how it ends 
With a simple telephone call 
You leave me here with nothing at all.

Neither of them said anything until they got to the hotel 
room. But Tristan started to talk as soon as they got 
into the room. 

"Did you listen to that song Rory? That's how I feel 
about you. You're here but your not really. You love 
Jess. I don't want to be friends with you. I want to be 
more. I can't keep playing this game with you Rory. I 
want you. All of you. I don't care if that's wrong. Maybe 
you can give me that. Maybe it's too much to ask. But I 
don't care. I'm asking Rory. I have been asking. You 
don't answer. You throw me through more loops then a 
roller coaster. You say I love you to Jess, and then 
chase me down. What do you want? To be friends? That's 
not going to happen. I love you Rory."

"I love you too Tristan."

"What?"

"Of course I do. I love Jess... like a brother. Maybe it 
took me a while to see it. And I'm sorry. I love you 
Tristan. More than anything. 

He kissed her.

As they lay in bed later, Rory sighed contentedly. She 
had been ready for Tristan after all. She snuggled up 
next to his firm warm body and sighed again. It was 
wonderful, sex with him had been wonderful, in fact it 
had been better than anything she could have imagined.

Rory looked up at Tristan's sleeping face and remembered 
who only a short while ago he had been like a Greek god, 
making passionate soft love to her. She could envision 
his body atop hers and the feelings it cause her when he 
found her love for the first, the thrust and the feeling 
of completeness.

Rory blinked back a tear of pure joy and sighed once 
more. She ran her soft hand down Tristan's smooth muscled 
chest, down his flat stomach and further down until his 
eyes opened and he smiled at her. "I love you too," he 
said as he rose up and pushed Rory back into the down-
filled mattress. Ready for more.
