Starting Over
Chapter 1
I'm done. I'll be home in two hours. Mom's supposed to be here. Where is she? Did her pregnancy screw with her memory? I look pathetic. Maybe I should move away from the luggage carousel. I'm the only one standing here that already has their luggage. Supercool. Seriously where the hell is she? Ok I've been here for over an hour. Coffee! I need coffee! Why didn't I think of that earlier?
Whoa… That's not my mom!
"Jess?" I sputter out. Huh, wow where did all the air go? Why after all this time is it still hard for me to act normal around this guy? Oh yeah, it's because you purposely hurt him the last time you saw him. And oh I don't know, maybe, you still love him! What? No!
"Ah yeah, that's me." He's fidgeting. Why in the hell is he of all people acting so nervous right now? I'm nervous enough for the both of us.
"Yeah it is." So could use a coffee right about now or my Mom. Wait a minute. "Where's my mom?"
"About that…"
"What happened? Is she alright? What did you do? What's going on?"
"Whoa… what did I do? Seriously? What do you think I did? Kill her, stuff her in my trunk and drive two hours to pick you up at the airport? What ulterior motive do you think I have here Ror?"
Ror… I haven't heard that coming from his mouth in years. Too many years. He looks good. Real good. The years have definitely been good to him. I…I am staring and he's smirking.
"Force of habit. Sorry." The smirk drops right off his face. Nice Rory. Real nice.
"Your Mom is pregnant, therefore she sought out the nearest bathroom and Luke on the other hand is probably still trying to find a parking spot."
"So be prepared for a very pregnant Lorelai and an angry Luke. Got it." I quipped. Jess laughed. He actually laughed. God I've missed that. A laughing Jess was a rare sight. He should laugh more. Well for all I know he probably does.
"Ah yeah…so we should go..." Jess picks up my bag and starts to head out of baggage claims.
"Yeah..yeah we sh…" Hold on.
"Jess, why are you here?" Smooth.
Jess stops and looks over his shoulder confidently. "I've decided we're starting over."
