~*~
Walking into the diner Luke noticed something was different, nothing major, just something was different from when he had last seen the place. Glancing around it hit him, there were now flowers on the tables, not just little flowers but roses and irises. Nodding at some of the customers he made his way to the counter, looking behind it he found Jess searching for something on the floor. "What the hell happened to my diner?"
Jess stood quickly and shrugged wandering to a table to fill someone's coffee then back. Seeing Lukes disapproving glare he sighed, "Look Uncle Luke, Taylor kept insisting that the place needed more colour and he WOULDN'T leave! My choices finally came down to knocking him out or giving in, I thought about what you would do and then did the opposite." Shrugging again he said, "I have work to do," and went into the kitchen.
Wow, things just kept getting more weird around this town. During the rest of the day he threw Taylor and his flowers out of the diner a few times but other then that it was back to good. Jess was co-operative for the most part so Luke let him go up to his room to do whatever he did in there at 8:00pm. Around 8:30pm he saw Rory and Lorelai walk in. He sent them a questioning look as they sat at the counter, "What are you two doing here?"
Rory smiled, "Well we haven't had anything from Lukes in a while so we thought we would come and visit our favourite person."
Luke eyed them, "Who'd that be?"
Rory and Lorelai laughed and answered simultaneously, "You silly."
"Right..." Luke still watched them closely thinking they might be up to something, "so what'll it be?"
They both ordered and waited for him to disappear into the kitchen, Lorelai glanced sideways at Rory, "That was weird wasn't it?"
Rory shrugged, "I think we surprised him by coming here that's all." She looked around the diner hoping to see Jess sulking somewhere, her face fell when she didn't spot him anywhere.
Lorelai watched her daughter and pushed her softly off the stool, "Go find him, he's probably up stairs or something."
Rory looked at her mom surprised, "Really? I thought you hated Jess."
Lorelai shrugged, "I suppose he can't be THAT bad if both you and Luke like him. Besides you're leaving tomorrow and you should say good-bye. Just don't do anything I would do. Okay?"
Rory's face lit up, nodding she quickly walked/ran to the stair way then bounded up them.
Lorelai shook her head, she had finally realised Rory and Jess would eventually do whatever they wanted despite her wishes so she might as well give in and be on their good sides. It hurt her to let her baby go with someone like Jess, he was so much different then Dean, he was dangerous. Lorelai didn't like her daughter wanting something dangerous but you can't help who you fall for, she'd learned that several times her self. Sighing she jumped over the counter to get some coffee that Luke had 'forgotten' to get her.
~*~
"What are you doing?" Luke asked as he came back out to find Lorelai behind the counter getting coffee.
Jumping slightly Lorelai turned, coffee mug in one hand, the pot in the other, "Umm... checking the expiration date?"
Rolling his eyes Luke took a step forward, "Try again."
Persing her lips Lorelai answered, "Saving you the trouble?"
"Nope," he answered shaking his head.
"Hum... annoying the hell out of you by doing something I shouldn't be doing?" she asked smiling.
He nodded and set two plates on the counter for her and Rory, looking around he was about to ask where she went when Lorelai said, "She's upstairs... looking for Jess." Pausing she leaned against the counter and shyly asked, "Join me?"
He looked at her surprised, he would have thought she would have been pissed that Rory was with Jess, shrugging it off he nodded and turned to get him something to eat.
~*~
Rory sprinted up the stairs, stopping when she got to the door of Luke's apartment she ran her fingers threw her hair trying to straighten it. Taking a deep breath she tried to calm herself, this would be the first time she had seen Jess since the wedding and the kiss. The kiss, just thinking about it made her heart quicken, taking another breath she knocked on the door.
Jess was laying on the couch reading "The Alienest", he had just got to the part where they found the killer. He jumped a little when he heard the door open, who the hell would knock? Sighing he got up to answer it, opening the door he asked, "What do you want?" in a gruff voice before seeing who it was. Surprise painted his face when he saw Rory. "Rory! Sorry, I wasn't... I just..."
Rory smiled slightly and looked at the book in his hand, "The Alienist?" She sent him a questioning look.
"Huh?" Looking down he remembered the book, "Oh yeah, it's good. A little intense, but well written. You wouldn't like it though, it's not your type."
Side-stepping him, she entered the apartment and looked around. The construction crew had finished a few days prior, she had to admit it looked really good. Looking at the floor she answered softly, "Well I've been liking things that aren't my type lately."
Jess looked at her, wide eyed a small smile began to pull at his lips. He shuffled his feet around, his smile growing. She liked him! She really liked him! "So you and Dean are..."
Biting her bottom lip she asked, "Does it matter?"
Jess's smile faded, he shook his head ruefully, they were still together. He honestly hadn't meant to get between them but Rory was different then the rest here, she had given him a chance. His first chance in a very long time, it was only natural for them to fall for each other, they were so different that it worked. But he couldn't... he wouldn't be second. "Yeah, it does."
She looked up at him, now it was her turn to be surprised, "What?"
He brought his intense gaze up to meet hers, "I won't be second for anyone Rory." Shaking his head he took a deep breath, "You've got to choose. Me or him. You don't have to choose right now, when you get back though. You will choose." His face softened, "But until then..."
~*~
Lorelai and Luke sat at one of the tables smiling at each other, there was no longer a weird feeling lingering over them. Luke had closed the diner figuring no one would be coming by past 8:45 any ways so they had the place all to themselves. Lorelai played with the food that was left on her plate, moving it around in little patterns. Luke watched her smiling, "What are you doing?"
Lorelai looked up and smiled shyly, "Nothing."
Luke rolled his eyes, "Whatever you say."
Resting her head in her hands she studied him intently, Luke looked up from his food and sent her a puzzled gaze. "Now what?"
She shook her head slight, "Nothing." Her smile grew.
Luke looked at her as if she'd gone insane. Shaking his head he stood and took both of their plates back into the kitchen, he needed to close up the place for the night so he started his normal ruteen. He was washing some dished when he felt someone come up behind him and lean into him, resting their head against his back. "You'd better be Lorelai or else I'm scared."
Lorelai giggled, "Of course it's me silly." She closed her eyes and snuggled closer to him, "Do you want any help?"
Luke managed to turn around to face her, "You want to help me close?"
She smiled at him and nodded quickly, "If it means I get to be in the kitchen with you then yeah!"
Luke rolled his eyes, "I've changed my mind, you scare me."
Lorelai punched his arm, "Hey I'm just trying to help!"
Luke eyed her suspiciously for a few moments then smiled, "Okay, just be careful... please."
She rolled her eyes and sighed dramatically, "I'm ALWAYS careful!" Resting a hand against his chest she leaned in and kissed him softly, then started to help clean.
~*~
Upstairs Rory and Jess were fighting over who got more of the couch. Laughing Rory picked up one of the pillows that had fallen on the floor and threw it at Jess, hitting him square in the face.
Jess glared at her and threw it back, soon pillows where flying. He jumped up to try and escape some of the turmoil but Rory was quicker, they raced around the apartment and into Jess's room. Grabbing more ammo Rory was about to throw the pillow at him when he tackled her. Causing them both to land on the bed, rolling around he finally got the upper hand. He was on top of her, holding both her hands above her head. The laughing began to die down, he lowered his head and brushed his lips against her cheek.
Closing her eyes Rory sighed, her sides hurt from laughing so hard and she couldn't help but feel excited with Jess's body against hers. She felt his lips brush over her cheek, then her neck, his grip loosened on her hands. Openings her eyes she saw a bottle of water on a bed stand.
Jess was too caught up in the moment, he moved his mouth to gently nibble on her ear lobes. God she was beautiful he thought as he studied her, a wide smile on his face. Moving a hand to caress her cheek he realised too late what the twinkle in her eyes was. He felt a cold substance going down his back. His eyes widened as she moved out from under him and raced to the door. Chasing after her he pulled off his shirt, too caught up with the thought of revenge to realise he didn't grab another to replace it.
~*~
Luke shook his head as he pulled Lorelai out of the kitchen. He wrapped a towel around her finger, "I thought I told you not to touch sharp objects."
Lorelai pouted, "No, actually you just told me to be careful and I was! It's all the knife fault!"
Luke shook his head and grabbed another towel, wetting it with some cold water he took out a first aid kit from behind the counter, opening it he began to search for a band aide. Finding one he set it on the counter, seeing that she looked sad he asked, "You want to sit on the counter?"
Her eyes lit up, "Really? Woo hoo!" She jumped up on it.
Rolling his eyes Luke took her hand and unwrapped the towel taking the wet one and gently wiped the blood away from the cut. He looked up at her and gave her a reassuring smile and kissed it softly.
Lorelai smiled and took off his hat to set on her head, she liked closing with him even if it did mean getting a little cut.
Luke had just finished putting a bandage on Lorelia's finger when he saw Rory run past them and to the other side of the diner. Her face was red and she was breathing hard, looking at her he rose his eyebrows. He soon heard the sound of more footsteps and saw Jess enter the diner, looking pissed off with out his shirt on. Looking back between the two, his eyes darkened, "What the hell do you think you're doing?" He started toward Jess.
Lorelai watched the scene with curiosity, soon her mind too drew the same conclusion as Lukes, Jess had tried to get fresh with her daughter. Her face tightened, anger screeched on it.
Jess only saw Rory at first, but when he heard Luke's voice he knew something was wrong. His eyes widened when he realised he had no shirt and Rory looked like hell. Fuck... Luke was close to him now with dangerously wild eyes.
Rory watched as Luke started toward Jess, her eyes widening as she realised what was about to happen. "Jess," she screamed, "run!"
