Chapter 4: Knight In Shining Armor


The first time I caught a glimpse of you/ Then my thoughts were only of you/
I hope that when time goes by/ You will think the same about me

(Only Of You By Green Day)


They all moved into the dining room where Rory first noticed the hot guy standing with her grandpa, she knew him from somewhere…Rory frowned deep in thought.

"Rory! Come over and meet Kyle, he goes to Chilton as well," Emily interrupted her thoughts and ushered her over to Kyle and her grandpa.

That's where I know him from, Rory thought to her-self smiling as they got closer.

"Rory this is Kyle, Kyle, Rory," Her grandpa introduced them both as her grandma stood next to him smiling approvingly.

"Hey," They both murmured as the elders looked on in anticipation, realizing that the conversation wasn't likely to get more exciting Rory's grandparents moved off to speak to Kyle's grandparents.

"Wanna go outside and get some fresh air?" Kyle asked sounding somewhat nervous.

Rory nodded and followed Kyle to the doors which led into the garden. She snuck a look back at her mom who was grinning from ear to ear. Rory took this as sign of approval and made her way out into the garden with Kyle.

Rory took a seat on an old white bench and leaned back looking at the spectacular garden in front of them, after a few moments silence Kyle livened up.

"So are you going to the dance?" Kyle questioned.

"Not anymore," Rory frowned, remembering the circumstances which had caused her to miss out.

"I heard you were going with DuGrey," He declared smoothly, although knowing full well that they were no longer going together.

"We had to…unfortunately cancel our plans," Rory replied as she shifted on the seat.

"Just because of DuGrey all the males have to miss out on the chance of seeing you looking even more beautiful than you do tonight?"

Rory flushed a deep red and looked over at him; he smiled back in return and looked sideways.

Emily strolled out into the garden and announced that dinner was being served, this thankfully saved them from the prolonged silence at which they had been sitting in.

Rory sat down quietly next to Lorelai, who turned and was about to fire questions at her, but was interrupted by Richard clinking his spoon against the side of his glass.

"I'd like to thank Genevieve, Marcus and Kyle for joining us at dinner tonight and I do hope that dinner is just as good as our company,"

The table chuckled and smiled as they all begin to eat their meal.

"So Kyle do you enjoy attending Chilton?" Emily asked with her fork poised mid-air.

"Yes ma'am it's a great school,"

Emily smiled at his manners and took a mouthful of chicken.

"How's that dance funding coming along Genevieve?" Emily wondered.

"Oh it's been great so far. The kids have shown a real interest I'm glad to say my grandson was one of the first to get a ticket," She smiled proudly at her grandson who was seated at the opposite end of the table.

"Rory are you attending the dance?" Emily questioned as she raised her eyebrows and stared at her grand-daughter expectantly.

Rory looked up at Lorelai with a panicked look on her face, Lorelai proceeded to explain the situation.

"You see Mom um well Rory had a nice date planned with a lovely boy from Chilton, but you know teenagers can't keep their minds on one thing, or person, for too long. So they've decided that seeing other people is they way to go for now, there will be other dances mom,"

Emily looked over at Lorelai and frowned, Rory realized this was the 3rd fundraising event she would now have missed.

"That's why she's going with me now ma'am," Kyle spoke up as Lorelai and Rory glared down at him.

"Oh, Rory I'm so glad to hear that. Isn't that wonderful Richard?"

"Yes Emily," He spoke through a mouthful of food.
