I DO NOT OWN GILMORE GIRLS

Between school, the paper, Dean, and helping out at the Dragonfly, things were starting to get stressful. Since she was off from work today, Rory decided to stay in Hartford for a few hours to have some alone time. She walked into the coffee shop/bookstore to get her caffeine fix after a long day at school and a newspaper meeting. After ordering her usual she found a book and sat on the couch at the back of the shop.

Rory looked at the time and realized she had been reading for almost four hours. She grabbed her things and headed home. After finishing her homework, she went to the kitchen and made a pot of coffee. She finished fixing a cup when the doorbell went off. She answered the door and saw Dean standing there.

"Hey Dean" She said while leaning in to give him a kiss.

"What were you doing?"

"I was just fixing some coffee. Do you want to go to Luke's for dinner?"

"Sure."

While walking to Luke's they talked about their day. After Rory finished telling him about being at the bookstore for almost four hours, he looked mad.

"What's wrong?"

"I thought you had to work today. I was off; we could have spent some time together."

"I just wanted some time to myself. I've just been so busy with everything; I wanted some time to just relax."

"Rory, that's not fair, we don't get to spend a lot of time together."

"We're always spending time together. Every day after we both get off of work we see each other, and we always find time to spend together on the weekends. Sometimes I just want time to myself. I'm stressed with college applications, school, the paper, and work."

"Whatever." He says deciding to drop the fight because they were almost to Luke's.

They walked into Luke's and found an empty table. Luke walked to the table to take their order. "What can I get y'all?"

"I'll have coffee and cheese fries."

"I'll just have a soda." Said Dean

"Okay, it'll be right out."

Rory heard steps coming down the stairs so she turned around and saw it was Jess.

"JESS" Rory says running to give him a hug.

"Hey Rory"

"I didn't know you were in town."

"Yea, it was a spur of the moment trip. How have you been?"

Dean walks up and puts his arm protectively around Rory. "What are you doing here Jess?" He had never liked Jess. He and Rory had gotten into many fights because of her and Jess' friendship.

"I'm visiting Luke."

"Well Rory and I were in the middle of something, so we'll see you later." He drags Rory away.

"Dean, that was rude. I haven't seen him in months."

"Yea, well, we are spending time together, and I don't want him around." Just then Luke walks up with their order.

Inside, Rory is fuming about how rude Dean was. He had no right to do what he did. It had been a while since she was able to hang out with Jess, because every time Jess is in town Dean becomes beyond jealous. Rory finishes her food and coffee, puts money on the table, and tells Dean she's going home.

"It's still early, why are you going home. We were supposed to spend time together." Says and agitated Dean.

"I have things to do at home. I'll see you later."

After Rory gets home she goes take her shower and settles on the couch until her mom gets home.

"Hey mom"

"Hey sweetie, what are you doing?"

"Nothing much, just watching some TV. How was work?"

"Sookie made Michel blueberry pancakes and he had a fit because there were more than twelve blueberries, and refused to eat them. Kirk tried to sell me shampoo for the guestrooms, and cried when I told him I already had a supplier. I had a very entertaining day."

"Sounds like it."

They sat there watching TV and talking until they were falling asleep. They decided to head to bed.
