Why Don't You And I
Chapter Three
After driving for what seemed like hours they pulled up in front of this big log cabin. It had a wrap around patio that seemed to disappear. Smoke drifted from the chimney up in to the bright blue sky. Rory took a deep breath of the fresh air and let it whoosh out, letting little puffs of 'smoke' out of her own.
"Wow! This place is great!" Rory shouted as she bounded towards her mother, who was stepping out of her jeep.
"And look at the snow! Wait! Did I see a rabbit?!" Lorelai looked towards the trees.
"No Lorelai, that was not a rabbit!" Luke told her as he grabbed the bags from the jeep.
"This place is great, isn't it Jess?" Rory asked, smiling at him.
"Just great." He replied. 'Wow this place is cozy.' He pulled a cigarette out of his jacket.
"While you are here, you will not contaminate the clean, fresh country air!" Luke pulled the cigarette from his mouth. Jess stared at him.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Jess stared at his insane uncle. Lorelai and Rory snickered. "This is insane!" Jess grabbed his bag and headed to the front door.
"And you will be polite to both Rory and Lorelai!" Luke pointed at him.
"Me?" Jess dropped his bag. "Why I've been nothing but a ray of sunshine since you decided to drag me out here to Clampett territory!" Luke just looked at his nephew.
"Lighten up Luke, give the kid a break." Lorelai whispered to Luke.
"Come on Jess, let's go find our rooms!" Rory unlocked the door, pulling Jess in behind her. "Wow! This place is perfect!" 'It's so cozy and romantic!'
"Yeah," Jess sighed. 'Just great, it seems like something out of a cheesy romance novel... not that I would know.' He followed Rory into the living room.
"Wow! It's like something out of a romance novel!" Lorelai exclaimed as she walked in through the door, followed by Luke loaded down with packages. "Jess, give your uncle a hand with that."
"Yes Ma'am." Jess walked out the front door. Rory and Lorelai then set off to find the best bedrooms.
"This is great!" Lorelai pounced on one bed. "This ones mine!"
"But Mom! I found that one first!" Rory complained.
"I'm older then you, I get first pick! I gave birth to you!" Lorelai stretched out.
Rory gave her mother a dirty look and set off to find another bedroom. She started on the other end of the hall, she threw open the first door, it was a big walk in closet, filled with blankets and Towels. She closed it again. She pushed open the next door to find a pink room. 'There's no way I'm going to stay there!' she thought. She walked on to the next room, the door was slightly open, and she pushed on it. It gave way to a beautiful room of bright colours. She walked in and looked up at the skylight. She threw her bag down onto the floor and plopped onto the bed. 'This is it!' she closed her eyes for a few minutes, wondering what she should do. She stretched, feeling a kink in her leg from traveling so much she decided to take a bath. She got up and gathered the things that she would need. She spotted a door opposite from the door that she entered through, she walked over and opened the door, it led to a bathroom. "Perfect!" she ran the tub as she went to grab one of her favourite books, and her favourite lilac scented bath beads. She sunk into the tub and let the warm water surround her tired body. "This is nice."
Jess walked through the upper floor in search of a bedroom. 'This is going to be a great Christmas.' He thought sourly. Between his uncle jumping down his throat at every turn, and having to spend two weeks with Rory in a cabin, in the middle of NOWHERE, he knew it was going to be one hell of a holiday. He threw open a door and walked into a bedroom, it was decorated in dark colours. "Perfect." He threw his stuff down on the floor. "I need a shower." He walked to what he thought was a closet and threw open that door as well.
Rory screamed as a door in the opposite direction of the spacious bathroom was thrown open. She cursed. "Jess!"
He stared at her for awhile, "Shit." He said when he recovered form the shock. He turned around. "Oh Rory! I'm sorry! I thought this was the closet!" he stared at his feet. He heard Rory step out of the tub.
"You can turn around now Jess." Rory told him while she made sure the towel was secure.
"I'm really-"
"It's ok! It was an accident!" Rory told him, all the while telling herself not to blush. "It happens all the time."
"It doesn't to me." Jess tried not to look at Rory, 'her pale delicate shoulders, the length of her-' his thoughts were cut off.
"What?" Lorelai and Luke burst in through the door. "What happened?"
"Jess!" Luke yelled.
"Rory, what happened? You screamed!" Lorelai looked from her daughter to Jess.
"Jess didn't realize that the door in his bedroom led to a bathroom, not a closet. And I didn't realize that we shared a bathroom." Rory told her. "So he walked in on me and scared me."
"We're you unclothed? Because if you were I'll gauge his eye-" Luke looked at Jess.
"No Luke, I was in a towel, standing in front of the sink." Rory told him.
"Good." Luke nodded. "Get out Jess."
Lorelai looked at Rory as Jess gave her a grateful look. "You like him don't you." She stated more then questioned after they left.
"What?" Rory's glance went to her mother.
"You heard me."
"Yeah." She looked at her mother. "I heard you." She didn't bother to deny it.
"Guess what I found while you were taking your little bath!" Lorelai exclaimed excitedly.
"What?" Rory asked.
"A Christmas tree! A real Christmas tree! Ready to decorate!" Lorelai jumped up and down. "Get dressed! I'm giving you 10 minutes before I start!"
"Can't we wait? I'm in serious need of coffee!"
"We can wait, but only for coffee!" Lorelai walked out. "Only coffee is worthy!"
Ten minutes later Rory walked downstairs to follow the smell of coffee. "Thank you, thank you!" Rory sat on the stool as Jess passed her a cup.
"I figured you'd be needing it." Jess looked down at his hands. "About earlier. I'm really sorry! I had no idea you were in there! Or that it was a bathroom." Jess smiled sheepishly. "And thank you for saying that to Luke. I really did think that he would gauge my eyes out."
Rory laughed. "I don't think he would have actually done that, but you're welcome anyway! We are about to decorate the tree! Come help!" Rory stood up.
"I don't think so." Jess shook his head.
"Come on!" Rory grabbed his arm, sending little bolts of electricity through her, and him. "You're helping!" They walked down the stairs, following Lorelai's voice singing 'The Hat I Got For Christmas' at the top of her lungs. "Wow, this place is great!" Rory looked around the room. A jukebox stood in one corner, a pool table was in one end of the room, with a couch to the left. A bar took up space on the right wall. The Christmas tree, and Lorelai stood in the middle of the floor.
"It's about time!" Lorelai tossed some lights to Jess. "Get crackin'!" Rory grabbed the other end of the lights, and started stringing them in the opposite direction. Lorelai decided that she would dance around.
"What is the racket!" Luke came down over the stairs to find all three covered from head to toe in some sort of decorations or another.
"Come help!" Lorelai danced over to him, dragging him by the arm to the tree. "We need some music!" she bounded over to the jukebox scanning the songs. 'Ooh's' and 'Ahh's' could be heard. She pressed a couple buttons. 'I Love Rock And Roll' came on. Both Rory and Lorelai screamed in delight. Jess and Luke looked at them, then at each other.
"Aren't you suppose to listen to Christmas music?" Jess asked. "Not to put a damper on the festivities, but-"
"This is Christmas music! Gilmore Christmas music!" Rory told him as she and her mother danced around, garland in their hands.
"I actually believe you." Jess grinned. "It's crazy enough to be true." Rory smiled.
They continued to decorate the tree. They were putting on the finishing touches when Luke came down with Coffee. Rory, Jess and Lorelai stared at him in amazement, he was actually giving them coffee!
"What?" Luke asked. "It's Christmas!" he set down the tray and walked towards the tree, he picked up the angel and went to put it on the top.
"Noooo!" Lorelai and Rory yelled. "Wait!"
"What?" Luke jumped, almost dropping the angel. "What's wrong?"
"We usually do rock, paper, scissors to see if the star or the angel goes on top!" Lorelai told him.
"What?" Luke looked at her.
"I'm the angel." Lorelai told him, Luke laughed, and she ignored him. "If I win, the angel goes on top. If Rory wins, it's the star!"
"Go ahead!" Luke shrugged.
"Ok! Rock, paper, scissors!" Lorelai counted off. Rory won.
"Yay! The star!" Rory jumped up and down.
"I'll help." Jess gave Rory a boost so she could reach the top.
"Thanks," Rory said.
"And now! Food!" Lorelai said. "Kitchen!" Rory and Jess walked along behind Luke and Lorelai.
"I was hoping for the star." Jess told her.
"I was too, but I always win anyway!" Rory told him, then she whispered, "My mom always picks the rock!"
Jess laughed. 'Maybe Christmas won't be so bad after all.'
