Lorelai's Love Chronicles: Part 3
"We had so much fun last night, Mom." exclaimed a 16-year-old Rory.
"Dean seems like a nice guy."
"Yeah, he is. I wonder if we'll fall in love." pondered Rory," How did you and Dad fall in love?"
"Oh, that's a classic tale." said Lorelai confidentially. "But since it's Valentine's Day, I'll tell you."
High school, junior year, started out normally, the same friends, the same guys, and the
same mold of boring teachers. In December, a week before Christmas break, a new boy stepped into
Spanish 4 and handed the teacher a note from the principal. Mrs. James nodded and motioned to the
seat beside mine and introduced him to the class as Christopher Walker. Tall and handsome, he seemed
utterly brilliant and perfect. He muttered a silent hello to me and I smiled back.
We walked out of class together and he asked if he could be my buddy and go to all of my
classes. I agreed. So he took a locker across the hall and followed me to English Lit. From this
"buddy-hood", we became great friends.
We went on dates sometimes, and I also discovered then under his nice exterior, he also
had a wild man in him, and we went around breaking rules. My mother and father didn't exactly
approve him, but they didn't actually disapprove because they never got to see him more than
two minutes. When they invited him for dinner at the Gilmore estate, I always came up with
a good excuse, not wanting to be embarassed.
Pretty soon, we realized that our friendship was blooming into a full-fledged love and
we spent every waking moment with each other. Prom, dances, weekends, classes, studying, we
always did it together.
One time, he took me to a nice restaurant, and even though he probably couldn't
afford it, he insisted that we should celebrate our 6 month aniversary. It was so much fun.
And it wasn't even the nice, fancy things that he offered. Christopher was just plain funny.
Even the short walks to class were enjoyed, and the talks we had in the coffee house, those
were so great (Christopher is the one who got me hooked on coffee, by the way), and I forgot
about everyone- Jim, Christian, Noah, Bob, Jeff- every single guy I had "fell" for.
I guess that's why it led to what happened. It was prom, and afterwards, I think everyone
was a little drunk, and when one of his friends invited us................
So I got pregnant, and he proposed, being the sweet gentleman that he was. But I said
no because that would have ruined both of our futures. He could never be as good as a father as he
was a smart entrepeneur.
That's why he's not here right now, but he will always be one of my dearest friends
and he will always be in my heart.
"I miss Dad." said Rory.
"Yeah."
"Is he coming?" asked Rory.
"Yup, this Thursday (hint hint)."
"Valentine's Day."
"Mm-hmm."
