Chapter One: Getting to know Jess
"Mom, I'm going now," Rory yelled up the stairs. She grabbed her her book bag. She looked up the stairs, surprised since usually her mom is up by now and itching to go to Luke's for some coffee.
Rory ran up the stairs to her mother's room. She slowly opened the door, and whispered, "Mom, you awake.. Time for coffee." With the mention of coffee, Lorelai eyes opened with a start. Lorelai looked at the clapping monkey clock on the pink night stand table next to her bed. Rory followed her glance. She rolled her eyes, " Mom, did you remember to change your clock back an hour for daylight savings?" Lorelai looked sheepishly at Rory, " No, I didn't forget-I just didn't do it."
"Whatever Mom, come on. If you want coffee, you need to be ready to go in 10 minutes." Rory closed her mothers door and ran down the stairs. Sometimes she felt as if the role of mother and daughter had been reversed. She shook the thought from her mind and left the house and headed for Luke's. She adjusted her Catholic School Girl esque outfit, threw her bag over her shoulder and was gone.
"Let me guess. You want some coffee and Lorelai forgot to set her clock,"Luke asked as soon as Rory opened the door to his diner. She laughed. Her and her mother had been going to Luke's for coffee for as long she could remember. She nodded, "Yeah. and a table. It might be awhile before she gets ready." Luke laughed. Rory sat down any a table and pulled out the latest book she was reading.
"Go and get coffee for Rory," she heard Luke say. Who else gets coffee for the customers besides him, Rory thought to herself.
"Okay Uncle Luke," a deep sarcastic voice answered, " but there is one little problem. I have no idea who this Rory person is."
Rory turned her head and said, "I'm the Rory person", in an equally sarcastic voice. She looked at the sarcastic jerk closely. Wow. He's cute.. But obviously a jerk, and slow down your roll, remember Dean, she thought with a roll of her eyes.
Digging the outfit. hee hee, Jess thought. He poured her her coffee, "Anything else, Catholic School Girl?" He laughed like he was the funniest person in the world. She looked at him and was about to say something mean when Lorelai came running through the door still putting on a stiletto boot,"Okay, you are now the official keeper of the clocks, kay honey?" Rory laughed at her mother.
"Hey Lorelai, " Luke said, "This is my nephew Jess, the one I told you about." Mentioned in an episode in the Earlier Seasons "Hey Jess! It's so great to meet you. What kid of horrible things has Luke been putting into your mind," Lorelai asked with a bright smile. Jess rolled his dark and brooding eyes into the ceiling.
"Well, Ms. Lorelai. Uncle Luke has said nothing of the sort in any mean way about you!" Jess said in a fake deep south accent. Rory laughed in spite of herself and her mother threw a mean look at her that shut her up.
"Bye mom, I gotta go. I'll miss my bus." Rory gave her mom a quick kiss on the cheek, waved to Luke, gave a sidelong glance at Jess (who was looking back in complete amazement and lust), and opened the door and headed to the bus.
