Why Don't You And I
Chapter Two
Jess was silent as he drove. It turned out that they had needed two cars, and Luke's was in the shop. Which left Jess to drive his and Luke to drive Lorelai's. He glanced over at the silent Rory. What was she thinking? Lorelai had fought tooth and nail about Luke driving her jeep, she said she didn't trust him with Betty (her jeep). Luke had reminded her of when she got lost and spent hours without coffee a few years ago. She gave in and let him drive, but on one condition, she was there with him. Which left Rory and Jess together in the same car for god only knew how long. Jess glanced over at Rory again, she was absorbed in the scenery.
Rory stared at the passing trees. The miles passing slowly as they headed toward the cabin. 'Wow, Luke is a really slow driver.' She thought. 'Jess seems ... not Jess like, I wonder what's wrong?' She glanced briefly at him, turning away quickly when he looked at her and caught her scrutiny. Jess was the James Dean type, he was mysterious and you never knew what he was thinking, or about to do. He was the rebel with out a cause. Rory grinned to herself.
"Are you ok?" Jess turned his head.
Rory was still caught up in her thoughts.
"Rory?" he touched her arm lightly, sending a brief tingly feeling through them both. Rory jumped and instinctively pulled a way from his touch. "Are you ok? You aren't your usual chatty self."
"I'm fine, I think its coffee withdrawal." She turned back to the window, blushing a little.
"That's why I brought this." He reached his hand behind the driver's seat as he held onto the steering wheel with the other. He lifted a thermos into the front seat.
Rory looked at him. "Is that- what I think it is?" her eyes were as wide as saucers.
He grinned, secretly proud of himself. "Yep, Luke's coffee." He handed her the thermos. "but you have to share."
Rory grinned back at him. "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!" she took the thermos from his hands and poured the brown liquid into a cup. "Here you go." She handed him the cup. She then proceeded to pour herself a cup. She took a sip, letting the warmth of it flow through her. "You're a life saver!"
"Anything for you." Jess replied. He then realized what he had said and looked over at her. He found her staring at him with doe eyes. "After all, if anything happened, Luke would kill me." Rory smiled and went back to drinking her coffee. 'Whoa.' He thought to himself. 'That could have been weird.' They drove in silence for awhile, Rory still looking out her window and Jess with his eyes on the road. Every now and then, one would take a quick glance at the other. Finally, to ease some of the awkwardness, Jess flicked on the radio. It was on a rock station. 'I Wanna Be Sedated' came on, Rory looked over at Jess and grinned.
'I love this song!" Rory told him.
"You like stuff like this?" Jess grinned. "I thought you would be into that chick music."
"Chick music?" Rory raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, like, I don't know." Jess shrugged. "Just chick music." At that, an old Pearl Jam song came on. At the same time Jess and Rory started to sing along.
They looked at each other in surprise. "You like Pearl Jam?" They both laughed. Jess looked up in time to see Luke pull of to the left. "Must be lunch." He pulled into the parking lot behind him.
"I absolutely had to stop for coffee, and I had to beg Luke to do it." Lorelai ran up to the car and opened the door to pull Rory out. "I smell coffee?!" she eyed the thermos. "Where did you get it? Did Jess stop for you?"
Rory smiled at her mother. "Jess had it packed."
"See Luke, your nephew is nice! Why can't you be?" Lorelai turned to Luke.
"Lorelai! You wanted to stop at the edge of town and turn around so we could go back so I would make you coffee!" Luke sighed. Jess and Rory laughed. They all walked into the diner. "Sit down before you hurt your self." He told Lorelai, who was straining to see a waitress in the crowded restaurant. Rory sat down and slide inside. Lorelai sat across from her so she could be on the look out for a waitress. Which left Jess to sit next to Rory.
"Waitress!" Lorelai practically yelled. "I need your blackest cup of coffee!"
"Coming right up." The waitress replied.
"What about the rest of us?" Rory asked. "I'm famished!"
"Oh, I forgot about you guys!" Lorelai laughed. The waitress came back to take their orders.
"Why didn't you say something earlier?" Jess asked Rory as Lorelai and Luke bickered about something.
"I didn't want you to stop because of me," Rory shrugged.
"If you were hungry, all you had to do was asked, I would have stopped." Jess told her. They ate in silence for awhile. Both watching Lorelai and Luke bicker back and forth.
"I can't wait until Christmas!" Lorelai ignored Luke and spoke to Rory and Jess.
"Neither can I!" Rory exclaimed.
This was the Rory that Jess knew. 'What's up with her?' Jess thought. 'I guess I'll have to find out when we're alone again.'
I know that was a crappy chapter, I just wanted them to talk a bit, the next chapter will start off with them in the cabin! It's time for some wintry fun! Review please!!!
