Rory carefully opened the front door and went inside. She immediately went
to her room, shed her clothes, put on a pair of flannel pajamas and hopped
into bed, anxious to get at least a few hours of real sleep. She was out in
a matter of minutes.
"RORY!"
Rory popped up and saw her mom standing in her doorway. She slowly turned her head, "What?"
"Get up! Breakfast!"
"You can't cook."
"Duh, Luke's!"
Rory groaned; she'd had enough of Luke's for a while, "Don't wanna."
"Too bad." Lorelai grabbed Rory's covers and jerked them off in one pull.
"Mom!"
"Get up! You're leaving me for six whole weeks! I am not letting you go that easily; now GET UP!"
Rory sighed, "Fine, I'm up!"
Lorelai jumped onto Rory's bed, "Yay! Take a shower, get dressed, meet me in the kitchen in twenty minutes." She jumped off the bed and bounded out the door. Rory rolled off her bed, and dragged herself into the bathroom before getting in the shower.
Twenty minutes later, Rory emerged from her bedroom, washed and dressed, ready for the day.sort of. While getting ready, Rory had thought about the events of the night before, the dream, and Sookie's wedding. She felt awful about everything that had happened; she felt bad about leading Jess on, she also felt bad about what she was doing to Dean. The only person she could REALLY talk to about everything was her mom. Slowly, she went into the kitchen to talk to her mom.
Lorelai was standing impatiently by the kitchen table, "It's about time! Let's go!"
"Mom, wait. Can we maybe talk first?"
Lorelai saw the strange look on her daughter's face, "What's wrong!? Are you ok?"
"Yea, yea, I'm fine. I just wanna talk before we go to Luke's."
"Ok." She sat at the table and patted the chair next to her, "Sit."
Rory sat down, but wouldn't talk.
"Rory, spill it."
"Ok, umm.at Sookie's wedding.I..kissed Jess."
Rory quietly waited for her mom to scream, but nothing happened.
"Why aren't you freaking out?"
"Cuz I'm not surprised."
"You aren't?"
"No. I knew it would happen eventually. I prayed it wouldn't, but I knew it would. Not to mention the fact that you've been acting totally weird ever since.well, since Jess got back. That kinda tipped me off."
"Oh. So, are you mad?"
"Of course I'm not mad. Despite how much I.dislike the boy, I can't tell you who to like, or who to be with."
"Whoa, I didn't say I wanted to be with him, I just kissed him."
"Just? Honey, there is no such thing as just. You had to have a reason."
"Well, I was just happy to see him. I.god, I don't know why I kissed him."
"Oh, really?" Lorelai gave Rory that, "you are so full of it" look.
"I don't know, ok, I DON'T KNOW!" Rory slammed her head down onto the table.
"Admit it; you are totally hot for him."
"Mom!"
"Oh come on, I've seen the way you look at him, and vice versa. Just admit it."
"I love Dean."
"Yes, but that doesn't mean you can have the hots for someone else."
"I do not have the hots for Jess!"
"So, then why the mandatory talk with me? What aren't you telling me?"
Rory just sat there.
"Something changed your feelings, what happened?"
"I don't know.at first, he was just a friend, but things happened, and now I'm not so sure."
"What things? Did you see him naked or something?" Lorelai joked.
Rory blushed.
"What!?"
"No, no, I didn't see him naked.but."
"Well, what's worse than seeing him naked? Ha! You had a dirty dream about him!"
"Mom! You're not helping!"
"You did! You so did."
"Ok, conversation over. Let's go eat. I need to finish packing."
Rory left the table and went outside. She decided not to tell her mom about the storeroom, just yet.
~~~
Lorelai bounced into the diner, while Rory crept in, looking around for Jess. When she didn't see him, she relaxed a bit and sat at a table with her mom. About two minutes later, Jess sauntered down the stairs, causing Rory to tense up. Without even realizing it, she was staring at him. He was wearing jeans, a black t-shirt, and a dark blue shirt that was buttoned. They were just plain, everyday clothes, but Rory still couldn't take her eyes off of him.
Lorelai noticed the intense staring and snickered, "Hey, want a napkin to clean up the drool?"
Rory snapped out of it, looked at her mom, and whined, slamming her head down onto the table, "This is a nightmare."
"Relax babe, you're only making it harder for yourself. I think a six week vacation from this place will do you a world of good. Unless of course, it makes you even crazier not seeing him for that long, and when you get back, all you'll want to do is jump him."
"Mother!" Rory's face turned bright red.
"Ooh, maybe your dream will come true." Lorelai couldn't help herself.
Rory jumped up from the table, ran to the counter, and hopped onto a stool, and started whining to Luke, "Make her stop!"
Luke just looked at Lorelai, "Don't think I haven't tried."
"Oh, mom doesn't know about.last night. PLEASE don't tell her."
"I won't."
"Thanks Luke."
He smiled at Rory, but stopped when Lorelai bounded onto the seat next to Rory.
Lorelai opened her mouth, but Rory put her hand up to her mouth, "If you say another word about.this, I'll MOVE to D.C. WITHOUT you!"
Lorelai smiled, "I'm sorry honey, I couldn't help myself. I had to lighten the situation. I've been there before, I know how it feels. It'll be ok." Lorelai put her arm around Rory's should and hugged her.
Just then, Jess handed two cups of coffee to the girls, "Is this a bonding thing?"
Rory wouldn't look at Jess; instead, she looked at her mom, "You get the food, I'll be at the table."
Rory quickly left, but was followed by Jess. She sat down, and he sat right next to her.
"Do we have to start this again?"
Rory still couldn't look at him, "What?"
"The whole avoiding thing."
"I'm not avoiding you."
"Ok, then look at me."
If she looked at him, she'd start thinking about everything all over again; she'd start thinking about him. She couldn't lose the last ounce of self control she had.
"I'm not avoiding you."
"Rory, look at me."
She still wouldn't look at him, so he put his hand under her chin and made her look at him. Their eyes met, and she immediately forgot everything but him. The longer he looked at Rory, the more he wanted to kiss her, but it was not the right time, and definitely not the right place. Instead, he smiled at her, "That wasn't so hard was it?"
Rory smiled; he loved to see her smile.
"Have a good trip Rory; and try not to kill Paris." He winked at her, and then went back to taking orders.
Rory suddenly felt better. She ate her breakfast, and then dragged her mom back home so she could finish packing. Deep down, she didn't want to go; she wanted to spend the whole summer in Starts Hollow, with Jess. However, another part of her knew that it would do her good to get away for awhile.
At noon, Rory boarded the bus to D.C.
~~ End of part five.
The ending was kinda weak, I know. But it'll be better next time!
:o)
