Don't Forget Me
He saw her through the diner window. He loved the way she walked, like an angle floating on ground. That's what she was, his angel on earth. She would be leaving. Just like that. He knew it was coming but was scared that it had come so soon. Yale was calling. And she was going. Would he miss her? Of course. But he had a plan. He returned to reality as he noticed that she was nearing. He got back to work. Awaiting the face of her. His angel.
"Jess, get a pot of coffee will ya, I've got to run upstairs for a minute."
"Sure Uncle Luke leave me in charge."
"Just don't burn anything down."
"Gee, thanks for your trust."
"Jess, just do the coffee."
"I might as well, I mean it's better then whatever I was supposed to do"
Luke left the room as Jess went back to the awaiting coffee.
"Hey you."
He was so glad to hear her voice.
"Want some coffee?"
"I'm surprised you have to ask, I thought my coffee addiction was pretty obvious."
"I don't usually look for the obvious in a girl."
"Yah well look who I got stuck looking through to find the real you inside."
"I thought my soul was opened already. Being as your mother tore through me to find something good." He teased.
She leaned over the counter and stared into his eyes as he leaned over to kiss her.
"I'll miss this."
"So will I. When are you leaving?"
"This afternoon. Mom's going through all my stuff to make sure I've packed everything."
"Need help with your bags?"
"Nope, I think we've got it covered. But I'd be happy if you'd help anyways."
"I'll be there."
"Good." She finished as she leaned into his arms as she looked up he kissed her.
"Aw, you two cut it out, I serve food on this counter."
"Oh sorry, Luke." She seemed embarrassed as they quickly departed.
"Well I did the coffee, now can I go?"
"Yah. Get a room or something."
"Well thanks uncle Luke.." he was cut off before he could finish.
"I didn't mean that, forget I ever said that."
"If that's what you say."
"It's what I say . Now go away before Rory has to leave."
The left the diner and walked over to a park bench. "I'll miss you, like crazy."
"Same here. But I'll call you whenever I get the chance , and I'll come home on the weekends and holidays."
"Here." He put a box in front of her.
"What is this for?"
"You'll see, just open it."
She began to tear at the paper. When she was done a velvet ring box was on her lap. She slowly opened it. He could see a tear fall from her eye. Happiness or sadness he wondered. She slowly put the ring on as she looked at him and smiled. In her head she was wondering what it was meant for. Yet was afraid to find the answer. She would let him explain, right now she couldn't talk and ruin the moment. This was the moment.
