I'M ADDICTED
DISCLAIMER: GILMORE GIRLS BELONG TO THE WB. THIS IS SET 3 YEARS AFTER THE FANALE.
He is my addiction. The smell of the soap he uses. The feel of his hair, sticking up in all directions no matter what he does to it. That smirk that makes my heart skip a beat. The brown eyes that make my knees tremble.
That's him.
He's like a drug. No matter what I do I just can't keep my mind off him.
He's broken my heart so many times that I have lost count. And yet I love him. He totaled my car and broke my wrist. He left without so much as a goodbye. He came back and kissed me at Sookie's wedding. He left again. He came back and told me he loved me then left without letting me respond. He came back and asked me to go away with him. Then sent me a flyer to his open house of his bookstore. He dedicated his book to me.
After all the pain and heartbreak, I still love him.
I sigh and stare at him sleeping next to me. I'm not quite sure why, but I'm sure everything will be alright. I love this man. I loved the boy, even when part of me hated him. When everyone told me that he was bad news I loved him.
He had that bad boy thing going on when he was younger. And on top of that he was so well read. He matched my every reference. My nickname for him even. Dodger. My dodger.
I can't believe he's mine now. After all of the years I waited and pined for him. The same way my mother waited for Luke. We Gilmore's sure do like our diner men.
Cause lord knows they make great coffee. And understand us. And know us like no one else had ever known us.
I looked at the diamond ring on my finger. Nine years I have loved him. Nine long years he waited. He waited while I was with Dean, then him, the Dean again. And then when I went to Yale, it was Logan. But he waited.
I sighed again. "Baby what's wrong?" I heard in my ear. I was surprised. I hadn't expected him to wake up. "Nothing" I said "Nothing's wrong. In fact, everything's right." He looked so cute with a look of confusion and sleepiness on his face.
"What are you thinking so hard about Ror?" he asked. "Just stuff" I said. "About?" he prompted. "Us" I replied. He just raised his eyebrows. "About how we started out and who we were. Then where we went and who we are now. It's stupid. Like I said. Just stuff." I looked away. He pulled my face towards his and said "It's not stupid. It's you. Pro/con lists. Debates with yourself over everything." He smiled a true genuine smile. "I'm not going anywhere Rory. There is nothing to worry about. Get some sleep. We have a big day of wedding planning with Lorelai tomorrow." With that he kissed me and put his arms around me.
I smiled. No matter what this man does, did, I have always been and always will be…addicted.
