I hope you like it!
Chapt 1 boy meets girl
Rory is travelling around with a group of journalists following Barack Obama on his tour through America. She is writing several articles to cover his popularity with the people.
One day, the group was at a party where they could walk around and talk to the voters. Suddenly, a guy walked over to her while she was looking for her drink, she knew she had put it right there on that table, where could it be?
"Hey, what are you looking for?"
"What?!"
This guy was not the most handsome one of her group, still there was something about him that was attractive. She had noticed him when he was staring at her a couple of days ago.
"I can't find my drink, it was right there like a minute ago"
She pointed at an empty space on the table
"… And now I have to stand in line again to get another."
"Right… well, I was just going to get a drink myself, I can bring something back for you… if you want."
"Really, that's okay."
"I don't mind."
"Erm, I don't want to put you out…"
"Just tell me what you had before you lost your glass"
"I did not lose it! It was right there! And it was a club soda."
"Ok then, I'll be right back."
He was nice, no guy has ever done that for her before… well, no stranger has ever done that for her before. She remembered Dean, he has always been so sweet and caring he's a true gentleman, sadly he didn't really fit into her world.
Then there was Jess, ooh yes, cute with a bad-boy touch added to the mix, incredibly smart and sweet, well… he was only nice to her but when he has to be nice to anyone else… he's a real charmer! Is he still in love with her? Just like he was when he told her years ago… or that time when he kissed her in New York… Or has he moved on to some dumb, blond bimbo like that shane-girl, she really hated that type of girl. Jess… his name still lingering in her mind.
And what about Logan, she wondered where he was and what he was doing, going global with his ideas or jumping out of airplanes with his friends to take his mind of Rory's answer. She hoped he was doing well. And her mind came back to Jess… she really wanted to know what ever happened to him and that book he wrote, dedicated to her... Rory was deep into her thoughts about Jess that she hadn't noticed the nice guy had returned with her drink.
"Here you go, one club soda."
She jumped up.
"Woohw, sorry, I was…erm, just thinking about …erm, thank you."
" I didn't mean to startle you and… don't mention it, I'm Matt by the way."
"Hey, right, well I've always been a bit jumpy…"
"Okay, good to know, and… you are…"
"I am… Lorelai, well everybody calls me Rory so, … actually I don't answer to Lorelai, because most of the time people refer to my mother when they say Lorelai, if you want to get my attention it is best that you just call me Rory."
What is she talking about, come on, get a grip. Matt is just a guy, a very nice guy and now he probably thinks she's an idiot … and a girl who has to mention her mother in the first sentence she forms. Well technically this wasn't the first thing she has said to him, but still, and she really is very involved with her mother… She was so involved that if they were any tighter, they would be permanently stuck together.
"Rory… hey Rory!"
"Yeah, sorry, my mind wandered off somewhere."
"Okay, maybe Rory doesn't work for you either…"
"Haha, yes, I should find myself a new name… though, that would make it even more complicated… no, Rory is good, I was just a little distracted."
"From now on I will only call you Rory."
"Good."
She smiled, he's charming and funny, very good combination.
"Rory."
"Yeah, that's me."
"I think we have established that, Why are you here?"
"I'm working for an internet magazine, and they gave me the assignment to follow Barack Obama around while he is campaigning for President."
"And, do you like it?"
"Well, the accommodation is not what I expected, but it is soo interesting. I meet a lot of new people, important people and I finally get the chance to see the country, you know…"
"This is your first real time away from home then"
"Not really, I went backpacking through Europe with my mom a few years ago, and did another luxury-tour with my grandma, but I haven't seen America, except for my county." "are you the backpacking-type? You don't really look like one."
"Well, Matt, I'm not, believe me! I am all for luxury, still it was real fun, my mom has this thing… she always makes it more fun than it actually is."
"Good to know."
There, she did it again, bringing up her mom?! Why are they so linked?
"How about you… why are you here, obviously it has something to do with this campaign right or the party?"
"Yeah, I'm working for a local newspaper, nothing big. They heard that there was a party so they sent me in to cover it. Not much else happens around here."
"Yeah, I know that feeling."
Matt and Rory talked some more and it was fun, finally someone she could share her passion for journalism with. Before, she could share a passion for writing with Jess, but that was on a whole different level. Jess only wanted to read and write fiction… just like his book… what is he doing now? Is he also thinking about her? Wait, focus, Matt deserves her full attention… right.
That's it for the first chapter, please read and review…
It won't be long for the next one, I promise!
