Another long wait, but don't give up on me :)

Chapter 4: Said I Love You, But I Lied

She quickly wiped her tears, put a smile on and decided to make the best out of this weekend. She barely gets to spend time with her mom and well, she plans on making the best out of it.

As soon as she got to the porch, the door screeched open and a little boy ran out. Rolling her eyes at her brother, she walked into the living room.

"Mom?"

No Answer. She might be at the inn?

She walked into the kitchen and was about to find Luke…

"Lu- oh dear god. I'm sorry. Geez, do you guys ever keep your hands off of each other?"

"RORYYY! My child, the apple of my eye- wait, what are you doing here?"

"Yea whatever mom, save it. I told you I was coming today. And poor Rylan…I think you guys better start saving up money now- for many many therapy sessions. Hey Luke"

She went in to hug Luke, who slowly left after, deciding to give them some girl time.

"You coming in to the diner later?"

"Mmhm, save me some of those curly fries"

"Will do, see you guys later"

"Bye hun! So how long have you been crying? Didn't Logan say anything?"

"God, mom. I hate how you do that."

"Yea, well babe, you're basically a Casper"

"A what?"

"A Casper."

"Yea, what is that?"

"You don't know Casper? You know bald, kinda chubby, has a thing for the Blondie…"

"No Mom, I know what a Casper is. I didn't get the reference"

"You know how people say "you are a Casper!""

"Uhm, no?"

"Well like you're invisible. I know you're feelings in and out."

"Mom, you could've just said that"

"Yea but, this is more fun. And answer my question Ror. How long are you gonna do this to yourself?"

"Till I get some answers. I'm gonna go see Lane"

Lorelai sighed as she saw her baby go out the back door. She has been worried about her for these years now. She liked Tristan…but she couldn't handle her girl cry over him anymore…

As Rory walked over to Lane's she took in her surroundings. This was her home- where she spent 18 years of her life. Her sanctuary. Where she is- was- safe. Now, every place she goes to is linked to him.

She still remembers when she and Tristan first started dating- towards the beginning of their senior year at Chilton…

"Hello! Gilmore Whore House, how may we assist you?

Tristan was a little taken aback by the greeting. "Uhm hello?" He could hear Rory in the background…

"Mom, can you not answer the phone like that? It could have been grandma!"

"Yea, well it's not. It's a boy. A hot boy"

"How would you even know if he is hot?"

"Oh please, of course I would"

"Mom, give me the phoneeeee. Come on, it could be-"

"Oh so what does that mean. Hot boys only call for you…"

"Mom, just talk, but hearing your whiney tantrum, I doubt he is still on the phone"

"Hello?" Tristan spoke into the phone, confused.

"Hello. This is Lorelai Gilmore. Who is this?" Lorelai answered, glaring at Rory.

"Uhm, can I please speak to Rory?"

"UGH! NO FAIRR!" Lorelai whined as she handed over the phone to Rory.

Rory stuck her tongue out, waved to her mom as she left for the inn, "Hello!"

"Hey."

"Hiii" A smile quickly came to her lips, as red blushed into her cheeks- she knew he heard the little rant she and her mom just shared.

"So that was your mom?"

"Yep, that's her."

"She is, um animated"

She giggled at his response and continued into her room. "So you called."

"Yeah, I did"

"Well, why?"

"Frankly Mary, I am offended. I don't think I need a reason to call my girlfriend. Or do we need to go over our coming together yesterday?"

Rory blushed and genuinely smiled as yesterday flooded into her memories again. Tristan had asked her to be his girlfriend yesterday, with white tulips and everything…

"Whatever. You can handle it."

"Yea, well I'm not sure I can. I think I need to see you again, to make sure my ego doesn't take a toll"

"Yea, well it's pretty big already. I don't think we want to take a chance to make it bigger"

"Mary, you wound me. Anyways, come out. We are going out."

"What? Where are you?"

"About ten minutes to Stars Hollow"

"WHAT! Tristan, couldn't you have called earlier?"

"no. now, come on. Get ready"

"NO! I want you to go to Luke's diner and wait for me over there. I'm gonna go get ready now."

"Ror, come on I'm sure you look fine. And besides, I don't even think you need the clothes"

"Tristan, shut up. Just go to Luke's Diner. It's right in the center of Star's Hollow. You won't miss it. I'll meet you there k? Bye!" click

Tristan smiled as he heard his crazy girlfriend. Girlfriend, it has a certain ring to it. She is his and He is hers. And that's the way it should be.

Rory hurried out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her self and went to grab another towel for her hair when she heard something- in the living room it seemed like.

"Mom? You're back?"

"Mom?" She started getting a little scared now. Her mom would usually come in and squeal around…

"Mom, come on this isn't funny!" She started walking out her room into the kitchen…

"BOO!"

Rory gasped and screamed at the same time. "GOD, YOU IDIOT! Don't you dare do that to me again. Tristan, seriously that wasn't funny!" She still had her eyes closed, but she could tell it was him. She could feel him close

"Mare."

Slowly Rory became aware of his eyes- gray and swimming with desire. She was still in a towel, her hair dropping wet drops over the tile floor. drip

drip

"Tristan," Rory whispered over the soft drone of the radio

drip

He just started coming closer as she stepped back. step by step by step by step

drip

"Tris." Rory realized she is gonna fall back onto her bed, she slowly looked up into his eyes, the desire replaced by a sweet emotion of love, or something like it. She stood up on her tippy toes and closed the gap in between them

drip

He caressed her lips with his, holding her in place as they fell back onto her bed. He knew nothing would happen tonight. She knew nothing would happen tonight. But something did happen that night. The two promised themselves to each other…

He continued his dull attack of lips over hers. And she let his conquest continue as the song on the radio flooded alive with the two acting out the emotion.

You are the candle, love's the flame
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Till the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied

With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one

Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied

You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

Rory smiled as she wiped away the rolling tears at the sweet memory. She knocked on Lane's door and entered, completely oblivious to the same love filled eyes of the blonde in the diner.

Said I loved you
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you...But I lied

Hope you like it. I like this chapter. It was longer than the others and lots of Tristan :D and Lorelai too! MAKE SURE YOU LOOKED AT THE LYRICS AND THE TITLE…THEY ARE IMPORTANT TO THE STORY! The song is called "Said I Love You…But I Lied" by Michael Bolton.
