Chapter Three: "Good Morning to you"
(The next day: Rory 1st person POV)
I sighed as my pink and purple glitter coated alarm clock, a gag gift from my mother, went off. I turned it off with a grunt that would make Luke proud and padded into the bathroom, turning on the shower so it would be warm when I got in. I brushed my teeth and made double sure to use Scope, knowing I'd be kissing my favorite diner boy later this morning. I took down my hair and started to get undressed, also removing the ring Jess gave me with a smile. I stepped into the shower, my head filled with thoughts of Jess as I prepared for another day.

(Same time: Jess 1st person POV)
Luke opened my door and gruffly said, "Get up and come help open the diner," as he did every morning. I scowled til he left, then sank back beneath the blanket from last night, which still smelled like Rory. Knowing he didn't really need my help, and that I wouldn't have to be up for school for hours, I decided to go back to sleep. As I pulled the blanket over me, I breathed in her scent with a smile, curling up and falling asleep again, to dream of Rory.

(Later that morning: Luke 1st person POV)
I handed a couple their order and set the ticket down before going back behind the counter and wiping it off. Suddenly the door flew open and Lorelai yelled, "LUKE! COFFEE!" from the doorway, Rory trying to ignore her. "No," I said as I picked up the order pad and turned to Rory, who sat at the counter next to Lorelai, who was already beginning to beg. "What do you want Rory?" I asked, ignoring Lorelai's pleas. She just smiled and said, "Pancakes, bacon, and coffee please." As I wrote it down, her eyes started to search the diner for Jess. "He's still upstairs," I said as I turned to take Lorelai's order. She grinned and ran up the stairs, leaving an exasperated Lorelai behind. She was pouting now, because she knew I couldn't stand it when she made that face, but she didn't know why, I made sure of that. She looked amazingly sexy when she pouted, more so than the other 23 hours and 59 minutes of the day, everyday, no matter what she thought. She was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen in my life, and I've been hiding my feelings for her for years, this coffee cycle was all we really had, she didn't feel the same. I sighed and poured her coffee, her smile returning as the cup filled, and said, "You're digging your own grave over there, I hope you know that." She just grinned and sipped her coffee saying, "Well at least I'll die happy and caffeinated!" I just shook my head and said, "You're lucky there's anyplace in Connecticut that'll let you come in anymore." She just winked and said, "Dirty!" as she drank her coffee, holding the cup out for a refill, which I knew better than to argue about, and just gave it to her.

(Upstairs: Rory 1st person POV)
I looked into Jess' open bedroom door and smiled as I saw him sleeping beneath our blanket. I stepped in quietly, sliding into the bed with him, my arms slipping around his waist. I blushed and buried my head against his chest as I realized he wasn't wearing a shirt. I grinned as his hand began to run through my hair and he said, "Good morning," his voice still deep and thick with sleep. I kissed him softly as we moved closer together beneath the blanket and said, "Good morning to you." We laid there quietly for a while before I looked at my watch and frowned. "I have to go, I have to eat and get the bus," I said sadly. He sighed and got up, taking my hand and pulling me into a brief hug. "I should get ready too, it's okay. Wanna go to the bookstore tonight?" he asked. I smiled and kissed him, then said, "You're a man who knows the way to my heart Jess Mariano." He grinned and kissed my finger which had his ring on it saying, "I'm just glad I finally found the way." I pushed him towards the bathroom as I headed for the door and said, "Take a shower Dodger, I can't have a smelly boyfriend, now can I?" He smirked and asked, "Wanna join me?" and I couldn't keep my eyes off his bare chest, but I knew he was joking and that it was far too soon for anything that serious. "In your dreams Jess," I said jokingly and he just said "All the time," as he closed the bathroom door. I headed downstairs and ate as fast as I could, still managing my minimum of two cups of coffee. My mom just laughed at my speed eating as I finished and ran out the door saying, "Oh yeah, Jess is coming over tonight! See you later Mom!" As the door closed I could hear her reply of, "Dirty!" while I ran to the bus stop, catching it just in time. I opened my book for today, "Around the World in Eighty Days," and while I tried to focus my attention on Phileas' travels, Jess' note in the margin about their train ride through the United States made my mind wander back to the amazing boyfriend I loved. I put the Bangles bookmark he gave me back inside and just curled up in my seat, letting Jess take up all my thoughts.
