Okay everyone. Here is my sequel to Saying Yes. I hope you all enjoy.
Rory stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection. The dress was ivory satin and the top clung to her like a second skin to where it curved in sharply at her waist. From there it exploded into yards of fabric, stopping just above her ankles, then formed a six-foot train.
I look ridicules.
"Rory?"
"Yes?"
"Are you okay in there?"
"Fine."
"Are you coming out?"
Rory turned slowly and threw the train behind her. She made her way out of the dressing room and into the fitting area. Her mother and Angie, the wedding coordinator stood.
"Rory you look…"
"Beautiful." Angie finished
Lorelai noticed the look on her daughter's face.
"Angie, can we have a minute."
"Sure."
When Angie was out of earshot, Lorelai turned to her daughter.
"Okay mini-me, what's wrong?"
"You haven't called me that in years."
"Spill it."
"I look ridicules mom." She said, "This dress, the ceremony, the country club, the caterers, the invitations, the 200 plus guest lists. This isn't the type of wedding I pictured."
"Have you told Tristen any of this."
"I haven't seen Tristen. He's always working."
"Mommy?"
"Lori?"
"Where are you mommy?"
"In here."
Lori came around the corner. She saw her mother and ran straight to her.
"Lori, what are you doing here?" she asked, "I though you were spending some time with Tristen? Where is Tristen?"
"Over here." He called
"Tristen what are you doing here?"
"Something came up." He said, "I have to go to New York this afternoon."
"New York? Tristen we are supposed to meet the caterers this afternoon."
"Rory I tried to get out of this" he said, "My flight is leaving at 4. I have to go. I'll call you later, I promise."
Before Rory could say anything else, he was gone. Rory walked into the dressing room and changed back into her clothes. She walked back out with the dress and hung it on the door. Angie came back in the room, with her little notebook. She opened it and said
"We have to meet with the caterers in half an hour."
"No." Rory said
"But we have an appointment." Angie said
"And I said no."
Rory turned to her mother.
"Can you watch Lori for a little while mom."
"Sure honey."
Rory knelt down in front of her daughter.
"You go with grandma. I'll pick you up later."
"Okay mommy. I love you."
"I love you too."
Rory started to walk away when Lorelai said
"Where are you going?"
"I have a few things I need to think about mom."
She walked out of the shop, leaving 2 stunned people behind her.
