Chapter: 10: Light sleeper?
Rory was saying goodbye too her mom. Her internship started the next day and Ursula and Jess were leaving.
Lorelai: "You'll call every day right?" she said tearfully. She had just reunited with Rory again and now she was leaving.
Rory: "Yeah. I promise… I guess I better get going. I'm following Jess in my car and he's about ready to go."
Lorelai: "Okay. Bye." She said giving her a huge hug.
Rory: "Bones cracking… organs crushed…" she said trying to lighten the mood.
Lorelai: "Yeah… well love hurts." She said letting Rory go, reluctantly. She watched as Rory opened her car door and slid in. She waved good bye one last time before Rory drove off after Jess.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rory had finally made it to Jess' apartment and was met by a glaring Ursula. When Jess first told her about the living situation, she was less than thrilled.
Flashback
Jess: "Um, Ursula?"
Ursula: "What Jess?" she asked exasperated. She was still mad at him for being so stand offish.
Jess: "Listen, I'm sorry for being all weird lately. I just… it's just weird being back in this town. Once we go back to Philadelphia I'll be me again."
Ursula: "Okay. Promise?" she asked.
Jess: "Promise." 'At least Rory won't be there to ruin everything.'Ursula thought. "And um, by the way, Rory's going to stay with us for a few weeks until she gets her own apartment in Philadelphia."
Then, let's just say, Ursula shattered all the windows. It was like in the movies when a villain screams and the camera pulls way back where you're in space and you can still hear the scream.
----------
Rory brushed past Ursula and walked up the stairs towards Jess' apartment. Once she got there, she walked in because the door was already opened. Jess was carrying some of her boxes and setting them down in the room she was going to stay in.
Apparently a couple of weeks before, one of Jess' buddies moved out and left him with an empty room.
Rory: "Wow. This place seems so… you." She said breathlessly. There were about 5 book cases and all of his CDs stacked by genre. Jess just smirked.
Jess: "Thank you?" Rory just smiled and rolled her eyes.
Rory: "I can't wait to unpack and start my internship tomorrow!" she said excitedly with a little squeal at the end of her sentence. Jess could only smirk at her childish antics and look at her longingly. Rory turned her back to Jess and pretended to unpack when she was actually looking back at Jess. No one saw Ursula watching from the doorway.
---------------
Jess was cooking dinner (after all he did work in a diner). Ursula was sitting on one end of the couch watching TV and Rory was sitting on the other side of the couch reading. Just as Jess was finishing, he heard a scream come from the living room. He quickly ran too the living room to see what happened and he saw Rory on the floor.
Jess: "Are you okay?" he asked Rory, trying to cover a smirk. Rory just started laughing and said in between laughs
Rory: "I was just sitting on the couch and when I went to uncross my legs I fell off." She said still laughing. Jess just smirked and extended a hand out to her mockingly. She grabbed it and he pulled her up.
Jess: "Careful! Wouldn't want you to fall again." He said mockingly as he pretended to steady her. She playfully glared at him and made her way to the kitchen.
Rory: "Anyway… what's for dinner?" she asked looking curiously at big pot on the stove.
Jess: "Pasta sound okay?" he asked Rory while Ursula glared at both of them.
Rory: "Hello? I'm a Gilmore! It's fine!" she said looking at Jess like he was crazy. With a roll of his eyes, Jess replied
Jess: "It must have slipped my mind."
Rory: "Like I said, its fine." She said as Jess drained the pasta and poured it into a bowl. Rory picked up the bowl and Jess picked up the sauce.
Ursula: "Pasta's fine with me too!" she called but it was too late. Jess and Rory had already left and were in the dining room. With a frustrated sigh, she ran a hand over her face and marched towards the dining room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Rory woke up at 6 in the morning even though her internship started at 8. She tiptoed past Ursula and Jess's room (ugh! They shared a room) and walked towards the bathroom. She showered and pulled her hair into a professional pony tail.
It took her 45 minutes to decided what to wear but she finally found something business-y enough. She checked herself in the mirror for the umpteenth time (is that even a word, oh well it fit!) she put on her shoes and grabbed her purse.
Usually she would take her car but driving in Philadelphia was pretty much useless. After about 20 minutes of walking, she arrived at the place. She took a nervous breath and walked through the double doors.
The place was pretty big and she had NO idea where she was going. A bunch of people whizzed past her and she jumped so she didn't get trampled. Instead of asking a random stranger walking around she decided to ask a random stranger at the front desk.
Rory: "Hi, what floor is Joshua Green on?" she asked politely.
Rsafd: "He's on the 3rd floor." She said not looking away from her computer.
Rory: "Thanks." She said as she walked away. She walked into the elevator and pressed the 3. After a minute, the doors reopened and she waked out as confidently as possible.
She walked up to a guy with brown eyes and hair and said
Rory: "Joshua Green?" he nodded his head and she continued. "Hi, I'm Rory Gilmore." She said with a sugary smile. Joshua in turn smiled back.
Joshua: "Great. The Ventimiglia paper is glad to have you. (I couldn't resist) Here I'll show you around." He said motioning for her to follow him. "This is the copy room, printing room, offices…."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After an hour, Rory really got a feel for what she was doing. She already knew about 10 people's names and she knew what she had to do every day. A blonde with piercing green eyes appeared in front of her and she smiled politely.
"Hi. Are you new here?" he asked curiously, the smile never leaving his face.
Rory: "Yeah. I'm an intern and I just started today." She said nodding a little bit.
"I'm Ian." She just nodded and smiled at the same time. There was a long silence and he leaned a little bit towards her. "Do you have a name?" he asked with a smirk.
Rory: "Oh! Right, my names Lorelai but really that's my mom's name and everyone just calls me Rory. Rory Gilmore." She said blushing.
Ian: "Well, hello Rory Gilmore." He said reaching out his hand in a gentlemanly fashion. She took it and smiled.
Rory: "Hi Ian." She said feeling stupid because she didn't know his last name.
Ian: "So, I guess I'll see you around?" he asked.
Rory: "Yeah." She said as she watched his retreating back.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After work, Rory was walking home when she spotted a small coffee shop. She bought a cup and kept on her merry way towards Jess' apartment. She took a big sip of the coffee and right after she did, she spit it back out.
Rory: "Gross!" she tossed the cup into a trash can and finally ended up at Jess' apartment. She walked up the stairs and used her key to open the door. (yes she had a key) She walked in and flopped on the couch with a long sigh. Jess' head popped out from the side of the wall with a smirk.
Jess: "Rough day?"
Rory: "Just… takes some getting used to." She said with another sigh.
Jess: "Right." He said not disbelieving just… understanding. He disappeared but then Rory could hear him walking back. "Oh and…" she could tell he couldn't figure out how to form the right words so she finished them in her head.
'I really never loved Ursula and I want you back.' She smiled at the thought of this one.
Jess: "It's just…"
'I kicked Ursula out and I don't want to be just friends with you anymore.'
Jess: "Ursula sometimes…"
'Gets on my nerves so I kicked her to the curb.'
Jess: "Has sleeping problems so I was just wondering if you could be really quiet in the morning. I understand if you-"
Rory: "Sure! That's fine." She said forcing a smile. What was she supposed to say? No? So that she would look like a jerk. Yeah, right.
Jess: "Thanks." He said with an appreciative smile.
'For sitting on the sidelines miserably while I'm happy with Ursula.'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flashback: To this morning
Ursula walked in to the kitchen and saw Jess getting ready to leave. She made her presence known by clearing her throat a little.
Jess: "Hey." He said softly as he turned around. She just forced a smile as a response. "So, I'm just gonna-" he said gesturing towards the door.
Ursula: "Wait!" Jess turned back around and raised an eyebrow in question. "Um… could you tell Rory to keep it down in the morning? She was really loud." She asked with a shy smile.
Jess: "Oh…" he said face falling a little. "Sure." He said unsurely while walking out the door. Ursula just smiled to herself. The truth was she slept great, she just wanted to make things as uncomfortable for Rory as possible.

A/N: I hope you liked this chapter and don't worry. I will start adding drama soon but just trust me. I just need a little bit of fillers. Yes I know, fillers suck but… I need them. : )
