CHAPTER 4 Breakfast, Sleep, and Turkeys
Luke focused on the road. Lorelai was so close to him, he could practically hear her heartbeat. Well he would be able to hear her heartbeat, if she would shut her mouth for two seconds.
"Then we started talking about turkeys, and how in F.R.I.E.N.D.S Joey stuck one on his head. And I said I'd do it, and Jackson was like, I'll give you five bucks, and I was like."
"Lorelai," Luke suddenly said.
"Yeah?" Lorelai was a little disturbed that he was interrupting her story.
"Why don't you try getting some sleep?"
She hit him softly on the arm, "Am I boring you?"
"To pieces."
"Fine but I know many people who would greatly appreciate the turkey story."
Lorelai put her head back and rested her eyes. Luke once again focused on the road, listening to her breathing.
"You know what?"
"I thought you were sleeping?"
"That's it I cant sleep I'm too hungry. Why don't we stop and get some food?"
"Fine wake up Rory and Jess."
"Okay."
Lorelai turned up the radio really loud.
"What?"
"Huh?"
Rory and Jess said simultaneously. They then realized the position they were sleeping in. Rory slightly blushed. Jess turned toward the window, waited a few moments, and then lifted his arm from her shoulders and back to the seat above her.
"Lorelai I said to wake them, not scare the hell out of them."
"Which you did," Rory added.
Lorelai put on her mischievous smile, and then said to Rory, "We're going to get breakfast."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"This is pretty nice," Lorelai, said, "It's no Luke's though." She was sitting next to Rory and across from Luke.
Rory looked at Jess across from her. He was rubbing some sleep out of his eyes. She thought about how comfortable she was in the car.
Jess looked over to Rory. He loved how it felt to have her in his arms. He dismissed the thought though when the waiter came.
After everyone ordered, and the waiter left, Luke started talking.
"Okay here's the deal for today. We're going to get to the grounds, set up our camp, and get everything settled in. Then Lorelai and I will go into town and get some food. Rory and Jess you guys are responsible for firewood. While we're gone, I expect you to unpack your things got it?"
"Yes captain Luke," Jess said.
All three of them saluted him and he rolled his eyes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After breakfast they all piled back into the car. Luke started the car as everyone adjusted to comfortable positions. Jess stared out the window, he felt like lowering his arms to Rory's shoulders again, but instead he bit his lip and put his headphones back on.
An hour passed, and they were finally there. Luke showed his free passes and they directed him towards their campground. Rory and Jess got out immediately happy to stretch their legs. They scoped out the area, and then nodded approvingly.
"So." Lorelai asked Luke, "Where's the outlet for the TV?"
"There is none." Luke laughed.
"What?" Lorelai was shocked.
"You never said there was no TV!!"
"Slipped my mind?"
"Evil!"
"Relax, they show a movie every night at their outdoor theatre."
Lorelai sighed. "Fine but if you weren't so good at making coffee I would have dropped you years ago." She smiled implying she was joking.
"Well good thing." Luke said sarcastically.
Rory grabbed her bag from Luke's truck, and put it on the ground next to her. She then started unloading the tents. One bag was about to fall out of her hands, when Jess came out of nowhere and grabbed the other end. Together they brought it over to a good spot. They opened the bag and started putting together the poles. Luke and Lorelai were doing the same a few yards away for the other tent.
"Thanks." Rory said.
"No problem."
"So what's your newest book?" she put two poles together easily.
Jess struggling with two poles said, "Rule of the Bone, by Russell Banks. It was compared to Catcher in the Rye, so I had to make sure it was worthy of such an honor."
"And is it?" Rory grabbed the poles from him and slipped them together easily.
"So far so good."
"Well then it must be because Jess Mariano is hard to please." Rory grinned
"Am I?" he said smiling back, "It's not as hard as it seems."
