I know this is another short chapter, but I'm trying to update it at least
once a day. If you have extra time and would like to read another GG
fanfic, I would love more feedback on my R/J story Skeletons in the Closet.
As for L/L, I promise this story is going somewhere.
As Lorelai left the in she decides not to take her car. She knew her feet would probably hate her later but she wanted to just take her time. They wouldn't need her at the inn. In fact, she wasn't even suppose to be there, she had only gone in to avoid sitting in an empty house. She hadn't been completely honest with Sookie. She really wasn't doing okay, but it wasn't the whole mess with Christopher or even Rory's being gone that upset her so much. If she were being honest with herself she would know that it was not having Luke around that was driving her crazy. But she wasn't honest with herself. She was convinced that she was merely longing a good cup of coffee when what she really wanted was innocent banter. Someone who indulged her bizarre moods but never let things come easily. Though she would never admit it, she wanted someone who pretended to be gruff but whose looks were merely thinly veiled longings. Of course Lorelai wouldn't think about any of this. Instead she began planning for the Fourth of July Festival. Like every other holiday in Stars Hollow, this one is always over the top. Lorelai let her mind wander as she thought about the decorations and Sookie's picnic and the costumes she was making for Ms. Patty. She let her mind wander so much that she wasn't paying any attention when she ran right into Jess.
"Oh, hey, Jess, I, uh, didn't see you there." Lorelai stumbled, unsure of how to deal with this jolt back into reality.
"No problem, anything to delay my getting to school."
"Oh, are you taking summer school?"
"Yeah, I have to, one of the conditions of my staying here."
"Glad to see you trying."
"You were right."
"Of course I was," Lorelai said without missing a beat. "What was I right about this time?"
"That first night at you house you told me Luke was a great guy and I had a good chance here."
"And then you asked me if I was sleeping with him, I remember. That was one of the worst fights Luke and I ever had."
"The worst being right now?"
"I don't know."
"Look, I know you don't like me, I don't expect to you to, and I don't really care if you do or not."
"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind." She turned and began to walk away, not knowing what kind of turn this was taking.
"But I do care about Luke, and he's miserable right now. He tries to hide it but I know."
Lorelai stopped, surprised, and looked back.
"What do you know, exactly?"
"That he loves you."
"What makes you think that?"
"And I know that you love him."
"Now wait a minute, I don't know where your getting you information…" She never finished her sentence.
"Just think about what I said, I have to get to class." And with that he was gone, leaving Lorelai's mind to wander to places she had never thought existed.
