Chapter 2 Feels like today
« What do you think of this one? » Asked April coming out with a new dress.
"That's pretty" Answered Jess.
"I knew it, you're not paying attention! I look awful and you think it's pretty!" April tried to look angry but she knew that Jess wasn't into shopping; it was really nice of him to bring her here in the first place.
Jess asked himself how he could have land into this trap. At first it seems like a good idea to buy a dress for his cousin's (who he sees as a sister) birthday. But now, he remembered why he hated shopping. April who seems so calm and thoughtful, this science's genius can become a real fury when it came to clothes. That, he'd never had guess. He'll have to thanks Rose for her idea.
"Here, try this one, it looks nice" Said Rose trying to avoid a fight. Seriously grown ups can be so annoying sometimes!
"What do you want me to say; a dress is a dress, nothing more!"
"WHAT?" Said April and Rose at the same time, as some other girls who had ear him and where sending daggers at him.
"Help" taught Jess
"Welcome to clothe over bro's, can I help you?" Ask a voice behind him. Whoever this woman was he could have kiss her. He was so thankful for the interruption.
"Brooke" cried Rose, running in the woman's arms.
"Hi princess, how are you?"
"I'm fine; we're looking for a dress for aunt April. It's her birthday. But she's kind of mad at daddy because he doesn't know anything about clothes."
"I figured. Daring to say a dress is just a dress in one of my shop, it's like sign our own death sentence."
"That's not what I meant to say…" Start Jess embarrassed.
"Don't worry super dad, this statement just show the lake of knowledge of the men when it come to fashion."
"Guilty!" Laughed Jess.
April was watching the scene intrigued. The three of them where forming the perfect picture. Rose had her arms around Brooke's waist like she was scared she'd disappear if she let her go. At the same time Brooke was mechanically caressing Rose's hair laughing with Jess. We could really think that they were a family.
"It's weird that he never talked to me about Brooke" Taught April.
Since the day she met Jess she never had seen him like this with a girl. Except, maybe, the opening night of Truncheon Books in Philadelphia. They had barely exchanged two words but she saw is look change when she arrived. It was as if, for Jess, the world stopped. And April was happy for him, she really looked like a good girl. She would never have guess what happened next.
"What kind of dress are you looking for?" Asked Brooke, ending her taught.
"I don't really know, I'm kind of classic. I want a something dress up who makes think "wow". A dress I can wear for the rehearsal dinner of my father's wedding but that I can also wear on a date. I don't know if you understand what I mean…"
"Don't worry; I know exactly what you need. It supposes to be in shop next week, but as it's your birthday I can make an exception."
"Are you sure? Does your boss will not get mad at you?"
"Don't worry, as I'm the boss, I can't get mad at myself…" She said making everyone laughed.
"I'm a size…" Start April being interrupted
"Please, don't underestimate me, I designing clothes. I can assure you that the dress will fit you." She said winking at her.
"Can I come with you?" Asked Rose with her best puppy eyes look.
"Of course princess!" Answered Brooke, incapable to resist.
"Great! Come on!" said Rose leading the way.
Once the two gone, April started her interrogatory. If he could play inquisition with the rare boyfriends she introduced to him, why couldn't she do the same.
"So… You and Brooke…"
"What, me and Brooke…" asked Jess annoyed.
"You seem pretty close."
"And…?"
"Nothing… I just think that's weird you never talk to me about her"
"What do you want me to talk to you about her? There is nothing to say. She's just a customer who came to the shop to buy some books last week. That's all."
"Just a customer, right? You seem to know each other pretty well… Rose didn't leave her side since she walked in; she's never like that with strangers. Remember, last time I was in Stars Hollow and she met my mother she didn't say anything for the all day. She even hidden behind you every time she tried to approach her or talk to her."
"I remember but face it, your mother can be scary." That last comment earned him to be it on the arm by a pissed of April.
"Hey, that hurt!"
"You'll learn better than criticize my mother!"
"You know I'm just kidding. Anna is really great."
"Don't think you'll get out that easily. If you think you can have me dropping the subject you're wasting your time. But, trust me I think you could have found worst. She seems clever, she as the sense of humour, and we have to say it; she's totally hot. Moreover Rose adores her and I think that goes both ways. What I'm trying to say is: go for it!"
"Daddy, look what Brooke gave me!"
"Save by the bell" He said relieve to April. "What is that dress?" He asked surprised to see Rose in a pretty white dress.
"It's a present from Brooke, she made it for me! See, it's like a princess's dress!"
"Here April, try this! I'm sure you're gonna love it. If not I've got other choices."
"Thanks, I'm gonna try it now"
"You didn't have to make her a dress, I can't accept, I have to pay!" Said Jess embarrassed.
"That's out of question! I just wanted to make her happy. Besides, that change me form my adult line or the clothes I design for my godson."
"I don't know what to say. It's really nice of you; I'm not the best when it comes to girly stuff."
"I've noticed. But don't worry I did that for her. Every time on the phone she tells me how much she loves my dresses."
"On the phone…?"
"Yes almost every day. Didn't you know? I taught you knew; if that bother you I can stop…"
"No no, that's not a matter. I'm just surprised that's all. Rose never really talks easily with strangers. And she met you once and now she's totally crazy about you…"
She didn't know what to say. Fortunately they were interrupted.
"Brooke you're awesome! That's exactly what I wanted!" April was in heaven.
"I told you so! I'm glad you like it. Now you can say that you were the first to buy this model."
"It's beautiful Brooke, thank you!" She said hugging her.
"You're welcome."
"We were gonna grab something to eat, pizza maybe, wanna come?" Asked April.
"Ho yes please, come with us!" Pleaded Rose.
"Why not, I love pizza! But no mushrooms!"
"Granny is always saying that vegetables are bad for the health. It's like fruit. Except that you can it fruit if they're served with chocolate or ice cream, or both… In that case, you can eat them." Said Rose seriously making everyone laugh.
At the restaurant
« I can't believe that since the time I lived here, I never came to this restaurant. It must be the best pizza I've ever eat."
"I'm glad you appreciate" answered Jess.
"And you don't have even taste the ice cream! It's the best." Said Rose
"You can eat more after all that?" Asked Brooke surprised.
"Granny always says that you don't need to be hungry for ice cream. And that I'm like her, I can eat anything I want without taking weight."
"It's an unusual grandmother you have there."
"Lorelei is really someone out of the ordinary." Said Jess.
"Daddy, can I go to the bathroom?"
"Sure, you want me to go with you?"
"No, you're a boy you can't go in the girl's bathroom."
"I'm going" Said April, seeing an opportunity to let Jess and Brooke alone. According to the regards they sent to each other all the time. They were waiting only for that. "Like that we'll share some more secrets…"
"Cool!" State the little girl jumping towards the bathroom.
"It's really a fantastic daughter you have there."
"Indeed, everyday when I wake up I think about how lucky I am to have her. I've never been the kind of guy to have a normal life; I was a really angry teenager who was mad at everyone. I was starting a new life when she arrived. She gave my life a new sense."
"What happened to her mother?"
"She's gone" Answered Jess harshly.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be indiscrete."
"No, it's not that. I just don't like to talk about it."
"I understand, It's just that when I talk to Rose I sense that this is a sore subject for her but I don't know anything about her mom. Did se die? Did she leave?"
"I wish I could help her. I know what it I to grow up without a mum, the only time my mother got interested in me was when I start my own company and she became my CEO. The only mom I've ever had was one of my friend's mom who kept me with her when my parents moved to California so I could finish my years of high school with my friends. What I'm trying to say is I like Rose. You're doing an amazing job raising her, and I know that's not easy for you. And if I can help her being her friend, I want to be here, if you don't mind."
"You're an amazing woman Brooke Davis". Jess couldn't believe that she was real. "You know Rose for like two weeks. But here you are; wanting anything but her happiness. Ready to do anything you could for her, even if you barely know her."
"I know, you must think I'm crazy. It's just that she reminds me so much of me! That's scary! And, I don't know, maybe I think that if I can help her, like Karen helped me, then maybe I'm not just a joke. She speaks a lot about her grandmothers, her aunts and her godmother. But she also told me that they aren't living in New York, and even if you are the best father in the world, her words not mine by the way, she miss having a girl to talk to." Explained Brooke. "And last time, when I asked about her mother, she just said she didn't want to talk about her."
"With her mother our history had never been easy. We were high school sweetheart but between the fights and the break-ups we never knew how to be a normal couple. In fact we were working better when we weren't together. But she's the first girl I've ever loved. I remember, when she told me she was pregnant I've go a hard time to believe it."
And without knowing why. Jess started to tell her everything.
