Summary: "I mean he doesn't come around, he doesn't call, he doesn't write...And not complaining mind you."
Disclaimer: I don't know you. You don't know me. Let's keep it that way.
Dedication: for ErinM
Notes: my first, and likely only, GG fic. blame ErinM who requested "Gilmore Girls - Luke and Rory during the break-up/Christopher mess. Preferably at the diner. Bonus if Rory goes off on the mattress rant :)"


"You gonna finish your coffee or just stare at it?"

"I can't believe...I mean how could he just...as if, y'know, he like had iany/i idea what was going on."

"So that's a no."

"I mean he doesn't come around, he doesn't call, he doesn't write. And, yeah, I understand the whole Gigi thing and everything but, um, hello! Been standing right here this, like, ientire/i time. And not complaining mind you."

"So you are talking about what I think you're talking about."

"Because I don't complain. I am not a complainer. You ask Mom. She will tell you. I do not complain."

"Have to agree there. Give your mother the wrong thing and the entire town knows about it. You just take the pickles off and--"

"But that doesn't mean I'm not upset, y'know."

"Yeah I--"

"Because I am. I have waited a ridiculously long time for something that was apparently never going to happen. And now, inow/i he decides to show up and step in and be all...father-like."

"I know right? Isn't that ridiculous."

"Completely, utterly ridiculous."

"Because there I am, helping you out…"

"Like always.

"…and he's all…"

"Father-like."

"Exactly."

"Ugh."

"You said it. More coffee?"
