"God, I feel so bad." Lorelai whined.
"Don't." Rory assured her mother.
"What are you going to do all day?"
"I have a pile of Trig homework that's waiting for me. And I should start my English Lit composition."
Lorelai made a face at her daughter. "Okay, let me restate that question. What are you going to do all day besides study?"
"Now that you mention it, I desperately need to do my laundry today." Rory grinned as she bit into her Danish.
"Well, don't have too much fun." Lorelai deadpanned.
"I'll try not too."
"I wish I was off today. I hate working on Saturdays!" Lorelai complained.
"Why are you working today?"
"Some hotshot company is holding a conference at the Inn, and it's going to be a big publicity thing, so my presence is required."
"You should feel special."
Lorelai flipped her hair dramatically. "Oh, I do."
Rory grinned. She looked at her watch, and raised her eyebrows at her mother. "What time do you have to leave?"
Lorelai looked at her watch, and groaned. "Five minutes ago."
Lorelai stood up, and buttoned up her black coat. She took one last sip of coffee from her mug. She reached into her black handbag, and pulled out some money. She handed the bills to her daughter. "For lunch. And try to do something fun. Maybe you and Lane can hang out today."
"She's out of town for the weekend."
Lorelai raised her eyebrows. "The Kim's are taking a vacation?"
"Nope. She's at a teen retreat in Hartford."
"Oh man. And Dean's working all day?"
"Yup."
"Sorry kid. But now I really have to go. Try to stop by at the Inn somewhere between Trig and Tide."
Rory laughed. "I will."
Lorelai walked out of the diner. Rory looked around. It was a busy Saturday morning. Luke was running around, ringing up customers, cleaning tables, and bringing out food. Jess was working as well, but at a more leisurely pace.
Things with Jess were back to normal. Normal. What a strange word. Was this really normal? Was it really normal to be going out with Dean, but constantly be thinking about Jess? Rory sighed. This summer had been eventful, especially with the events at Sookie and Jackson's wedding. When Rory had returned from D.C., she had found Jess with Shane. Rory realized she should have told Jess about Washington, but she didn't. She had written him numerous letters, but didn't have the nerve to mail them. Rory took a deep sigh. Jess was no longer with Shane. She was still with Dean. This was all too confusing. What exactly did she want? Did she want to break her relationship with Dean, to start a new relationship with Jess? She didn't know if Jess felt that way about her.
Rory looked at Jess, who was cleaning the counter. While she had been in deep thought, the morning rush had slowed down. There were only four other customers in the diner. Rory took a sip of her coffee, which was now cold.
Jess approached her with a pot of coffee. "Coffee?"
Rory blinked. "Sure." She was trying not to make eye contact with him.
"You okay?"
"Yeah." She took a sip of the hot coffee.
Jess nodded. "What are you doing today?"
"Homework and laundry. And eating."
"Taking a walk on the wild side?" Jess smirked.
"You know me."
"Don't I?"
Rory grew quiet. His words held a dual meaning. Of course he knew her. He knew her better than some people did. And she knew who he really was. The person that nobody else knew. If he really knew her, why was he doing this?
"What about you?" Rory asked.
"What about me?"
Rory looked at him. "What are your plans for today?"
He shrugged. "I'm only working the morning shift today, but there's only so much a guy can do in Pleasantville."
Rory laughed, and took a long sip of her coffee. "You'll manage."
"I guess so."
Rory looked outside the window. Two children were flying kites, and families were riding their bikes. Rory smiled. "It's a really nice day outside."
Jess nodded. "It is. You and Dean going to have a picnic?"
Rory looked at him coldly. "No. Why do you ask?"
"Just wondering."
"Huh." Rory stared into her mug of coffee. "He's working all day. And tomorrow."
"Good to know."
"Taylor's short of employees ever since Mike and Jake revolted for better wages. Dean's covering up for them."
"Ah. I'll be sure to pick up an application."
"Good Samaritan." Rory grinned.
Rory looked at her watch. "I really should get going," she mumbled.
Jess smirked. "Big day ahead?"
Rory looked at her watch. It was 1:00 in the afternoon. It had been four hours since she came home from Luke's, and she had been studying the whole time. She rubbed her eyes, and finished the last page of her outline. She was finally done.
Rory stuffed her books into her yellow backpack, and set it down on her bedroom floor. She walked into the laundry room, where her second and last load of laundry had finished drying in the machine. Piling the clothes into a basket, she carried it into her room, where another large basket was on her bed. She spent the next fifteen minutes folding clothes and hanging them in her closet.
She was starving. She walked outside, and headed towards Luke's. It had gotten colder, so Rory buttoned up her coat to the top.
Rory walked towards the counter, and sat down, rubbing her hands together for warmth.
Jess approached her. "You look cold."
"Way to state the obvious."
"Coffee?"
"Thank you." Rory felt her cold face, which was pink from the cold.
Jess handed her a mug of coffee. Rory took a sip of it, and sighed happily. "I feel much better."
"Want anything to eat?"
"Burger and fries."
"What a rebel."
Rory laughed. "Of course."
"How was your day?"
"It was okay, but I accomplished everything I needed to do. I did my homework and laundry."
Jess raised his eyebrows. "Sorry I missed the party."
Rory nodded. "It was great. You would have loved the clown."
Jess shook his head. "Was there cake?"
"Of course! A party is not complete without cake."
