Please R&R and thanks for the F.Y.I. about the grammy thing lol I'm hoping everyone knew what my intent was…. Anyway here's the chapter.
The doorbell rings and Rory goes to answer it. "Hi." She greets Jess "Come in."
"Thanks." Jess smiles
Rory looks confused "What's in the bags?"
"Dinner." Jess replies "Where's your mom?"
"In the kitchen, come on." Rory leads him into the kitchen "Hey mom."
Lorelai looks up "I didn't think you'd get here so soon, the food-"
"Jess has it." Rory tells Lorelai
"You didn't have to pay for it, I'm doing dinner tonight."
"Actually." Jess puts the bags onto the table "I'm doing dinner tonight." He says as he unloads the bags.
"What's going on?" Rory asks
"Yea, where are all the white cartons and tin foil containers?" Lorelai pokes around
"I'm cooking dinner." Jess tells them
"You're what?" Lorelai exclaims "This kitchen is for looking at, not cooking in."
"I'll take my chances." Jess assures her
"It's only been cooked in like twice and that might be pushing it." Lorelai says
"I like risks." Jess pulls out a pan
"How do you know where everything is?" Lorelai asks
"Do you want to help?" Jess turns and faces her
"That depends." Lorelai thinks
"On what?"
"What are you making?"
"Chicken cacciatore, and a salad." Jess replies
Lorelai crinkles up her nose "That chicken is raw."
"I know."
"I have never eaten chicken that I have seen raw before."
"Have you ever seen raw chicken before?" Jess asks opening the bag, Rory sits at the table and watches the scene.
"Of course I have!" Lorelai exclaims
"Outside of the supermarket?" Jess smirks "Didn't think so." He starts to cut up the chicken as Lorelai shuts her mouth.
"That's gross." Lorelai complains watching him
"You wont say that once it's cooked."
"I might." Lorelai warns him
"Be my guest." Jess replies, turning on the oven.
40 minutes later.
Lorelai and Rory are watching television when something starts to smell good throughout the house.
"You smell that?" Lorelai hitting Rory
"Does it really qualify as a reason for you hitting me?" Rory asks jokingly
"Let's go see what it is."
"Jess said to stay out until he called us." Rory reminds her
"It is my kitchen." Lorelai says
"You were playing with the chicken."
"So?"
"It was raw."
"Point?" Lorelai stands up waiting
"You made it do the chicken dance" Rory says pointedly
"OK that was funny, don't even say that it wasn't." Lorelai defends herself.
"It was gross, and it was jiggling and squirming." Rory makes a face
Lorelai laughs "It was hilarious. Come on let's go see what's in there."
"Chicken cacciatore, Jess already told us."
"Well I don't know what this chicken cacciatore is, how will I know if I like it?"
"You don't really have a choice." Rory reminds her
"But-"
"Sit." Rory orders her.
Lorelai pouts and flounces onto the couch.
Jess walks into the living room ten minutes later. "Hey."
"Hey?" Lorelai stands up
"Yep."
"That's what you say, hey? You torture us with these smells then you saunter in and say hey?" Lorelai asks
"Yes." Jess nods he looks at Rory
"Can we go eat?" Rory asks
"Yea, come on." Jess turns on his heel and goes back inside.
"He's cruel." Lorelai mutters to Rory as they go into the kitchen.
"This looks great." Rory says sitting down.
"When did you make pasta?" Lorelai asks looking over the food
"Right after I made the chicken." Jess replies taking his seat.
"You mean right after you kicked us out of the kitchen."
"That too." Jess shrugs "Well dig in."
"Got it." Lorelai puts food into her dish. "This is the same chicken as before? The slimy chicken?" She asks after swallowing some.
"Yea, I think that's the one you named Fred." Jess replies cutting his chicken
Lorelai chokes slightly and glares at him "Evil, you're evil." She says jokingly
Jess smiles "I do my best. So what do you think?"
"I think…. That the food is great but you, you are evil."
"I do too, hey mom I think this is Tessa." Rory smiles taking a bite
"Evil!" Lorelai gasps "Jess, Luke is training you, next thing you know you'll be taking cell phones out of people's hands and swearing off red meat." Lorelai tells him
"Hey, it'll kill you." Jess smirks
Lorelai's eyes look like they'll pop out of her head. "Rory are you sure you want to date a mini Luke?"
Rory almost chokes on her food "Date?"
"Yes, something you do with someone that you like and enjoy spending time with, date." Lorelai smiles knowingly
Rory returns the smile "Thanks mom."
"Thanks for not being mad at me for my idiocy."
"I'm sorry about the whole grandma thing."
"Me too, just make this the last time you do that. I've learned my lesson I swear." Lorelai crosses her heart.
"Promise." Rory gives her a hug.
"Now I'm confused." Jess says watching them
"Let me give it to you in laments terms Jess" Lorelai leans over "You and Rory have my permission to date." She smiles "All I want to know is what you put in this chicken."
"Maybe I'll teach you how to make it sometime." Jess replies
"Yea, maybe leaning more towards no." Rory jokes
"Hey." Lorelai pretends to be hurt "Now I may just learn to prove you wrong." She smiles
"You do that." Rory replies laughing.
********************
Monday at school
"I hate Mondays." Rory says shutting off her car
"Why?"
"Because it takes until lunch for everything to get to normal and for people to shut up about the weekend gossip."
"I don't think there is any normal in this school." Jess comments as they walk inside
"How would you know? You haven't even been here a week."
"It was long enough." Jess replies adjusting his collar.
Rory giggles "I love it."
"What?"
"You in a uniform, we match." Rory giggles again
"All right." Jess stops in his tracks "You say that ever again and you will never see me in this uniform again."
"You wouldn't just drop out." Rory smiles
"I never said that, I said I wouldn't show up in this uniform again."
"Cause I'm sure Headmaster will love that and will let you get away with that." Rory walks over to her locker.
"Hey, I figured I'll just bribe the guy, fat old men can't help but to say yes to money." Jess smiles
"You do that, but for now- I have to get to class." Rory tells him
"Hey." Jess grabs her arm.
"Yea?" Rory faces him, he pulls her a little closer and kisses her softly
"See you later." Jess smiles and walks away in the opposite direction.
Rory smiles watching him walk away before going to class.
