So when I saw the episode where Jess, Rory, and Logan go out to eat, I wondered what if the conversation had gone well with Rory and Jess, and Logan was odd man out. Would something rekindle between Rory and Jess? Plus I thought it would be totally fun to make (idiot) Logan jealous. Please tell me your thoughts because they will only help me. Enjoy.
Donuts
Jess felt extremely uncomfortable sitting upon the plush leather seat of Rory's rich boyfriend's Porsche. He had that feeling of being a bug on a fancy carpet marring its great expensive beauty. He also felt as if he and Rory should be getting to their destination by something a little more like the old times. A bus would have been fine and just he and Rory. Not any of this boyfriend crap. What was his name again? Logan. Logan was a problem and Jess hated this problem.
He had come to catch up with Rory and maybe in a place in his heart, he had hoped that something could work out between them. He kept glancing over taking in every inch of her face; from her curled light brown hair to the ocean blue of her eyes. He wanted to be alone with her. Instead, he got some snobbish upper-class guy leading the way. Jess could remember the times he and Rory had made fun of people like this. They with their money, throwing it away at every high speed turn. Because of all these facts, Jess made a point of being non-verbal and slouching in his seat.
Rory, squashed between the two men, was already getting a headache. She wanted to re-cap with Jess so bad, but Logan for some reason was like some kind of roadblock. She could not get Jess to utter a word since they got into the car. She kept sneaking looks over to him and the smirky-grin she had grown to enjoy was out of sight. In its place was a frown and eyes that were sad and blank. Time after time Rory caught herself sinking into that endless pool of chocolate.
She knew that he had expected a huge dinner (enough for six with their stomachs) at some little known place and then gone to watch some obscene foreign movie, laughing at the subtitles, at another hole in the wall. She did not know if these places existed, but if they had not found them, they would have gone for ice cream and then headed to a bookstore to sit between the shelves with the comfort of books surrounding them, and alternative rock playing softly from the speakers. Somewhere to be together and—alone.
Rory thought about that word alone and she silently agreed the night would go on better if Logan had not come home early. However, he was her boyfriend; her first very, very in that way, serious relationship. She knew if she had not invited him, he would be furious and jealous. Not that he would show it. No, knowing Logan it would be in snarky remarks, mean until he finally got her to apologize. Then he would apologize to Rory for being such a jerk and everything would go back to normal except Logan would never truly forgive her night alone with Jess. Therefore, he was coming too.
Logan through all this thought and struggle between the two was trying to keep his mind on driving. He kept seeing that guy Jess and Rory peek at each other. He hated it, but he kept his hands on the wheel and kept jabbering like a moron to himself. Fifteen minutes later they pulled into a restaurant, up-scale of course. He had to choose the place, and he wanted John, no, Jess to feel out of place. Rory saw right through his plan.
"Logan maybe we should go somewhere where we can actually talk and comfortable," pleaded Rory as they waited for a host.
Logan smiled innocently, "This is a nice place Ror. I bet your friend Jess would like to dine here wouldn't you Jess."
"Sure," Jess said tonelessly. Rory knew better. She knew that he hated places like this.
"But Logan," she pleaded once more, "I don't want to eat here. I'm in a coffee with donuts kind of mood. You know how I am with cravings, like a pregnant lady. I want something and I have to have it. I want donuts."
"With sprinkles and pink icing," Jess joked.
Rory shook her head, "I hate pink,"
"Fine girl you got there, Logan," Jess smirked. "Very opinionated."
"Yea, fine woman. Fine Rory if you want donuts with sprinkles and glaze we cannot deny your pregnancy tendencies," sighed Logan knowing what he'd look like if he forced them to eat at the place he picked.
"Are you saying I'm fat?" Rory pouted. Logan didn't bother answering her and her antics. He slung his arm over her shoulder and started walking back to his expensive hunk of metal leaving Jess behind.
Jess on the other hand whispered loud enough for only himself to hear, "No, you're perfect Rory Gilmore,"
So this chapter is pretty short, but it is just like an opening chapter explaining feeling and setting up the rest of the story. Trust me, its gets at least a teensy-bit better. If you have anything to say, leave me a review. Gracias mis amigos. Te amo mucho.
