Rory took a deep breath and went into Luke's. She looked around, but Jess was nowhere to be found. Rory let out a sigh of relief. At least she tried to make the first step. If Jess wasn't here then that was his own fault, but this definitely counted as making the first step. She sat down at the counter.
Luke: ''Hey. Can I get you anything ?''
R: ''Coffee please.''
Luke poured her some coffee and handed it to her.
R: ''That was quick, thanks.''
Luke: ''No problem. I haven't seen you here for a while.''
R: ''I know. I've been real busy with school.''
Luke: ''I wish Jess would spend that much time on his homework.''
R: ''Yeah, well Jess and I are two different people.''
She took a sip of her coffee.
Luke: ''Oh believe me I know that, but you two have a lot in common.You both like to read and........''
R: ''Yes we do, but other than that we have nothing in common.''
Luke: ''Sorry,I didn't mean to............I wasn't comparing you with Jess. I was just saying that you and Jess have a few things in common, nothing more.''
R: ''I'm sorry Luke.''
Luke: ''He isn't so bad if you get to know him.''
R: ''Yeah......I know.''
Luke: ''Rory, is everything okay between you and Jess ?''
R: ''Everything's fine. Why ?''
Luke: ''I don't know............you don't come around here anymore.''
R: ''I've just been busy.''
Luke: ''So you told me. And you two don't hang out anymore. I know that you and Jess weren't real close or anything, but you two seemed to get along. It's almost as if you're avoiding him.....''
R: ''I'm not avoiding Jess...........we both have just been busy with our own lifes and he has Shane now.''
Luke: ''Right Shane......So everything's okay between you two ?''
R: ''Yeah............everything's fine between us.''
Luke: ''Okay, just checking.''
Rory took one last sip of her coffee and got up.
R: ''I have to go, our fridge is empty.''
Luke: ''Ah you don't have to say anything else. Don't forget to buy something that is actually good for you,okay ?''
R: ''Chocolate and candy are good for us.''
Luke: ''Those amounts of sugar and coffee will kill you two one day.''
R: ''Bye Luke.''
Rory went over to Doose's and grabbed a basket. She threw some bags of candy in her basket and kept on walking. In the back she almost tripped over Dean, who was unpacking some boxes.
D: ''Hey.''
R: ''Hi.''
Dean got up and gave her a quick kiss. Rory thought of something that she said to Lane. The spark wasn't there anymore.......
D: ''What are you doing here ?''
R: ''Shopping, we're all out of food.''
D: ''You do realise that there's only junk-food in your basket right ?''
R: ''I know. Me and my mom are watching a movie tonight and the movie just isn't the same without junk-food. We always eat at Luke's anyway.''
Dean smiled at her and kissed her again. Longer this time. Rory heard someone cough and pulled away from Dean. Rory looked up at Dean, who was staring at someone in front of him. She turned around to see who it was.
J: ''It's a public place, you know.''
Rory met Jess' eyes.
R: ''You and Shane make out in public places all the time.''
Rory watched Jess closely. All she wanted was to see what he was feeling right now. Did she hurt him by kissing Dean in front of him ? She started to feel guilty about kissing Dean in front of Jess. She looked at Jess one more time and looked at the bags of candy in her basket. Candy..............sweet............just like the kiss she shared with Jess. She had to stop thinking about the kiss, but how could she when Jess was standing right in front of her ?!
J: ''Aren't we a little jealous.''
Jess kept his eyes on Rory when he said that. He could see that she was nervous. Her hands were shaking. All he wanted to do was grab her hands and ask her if she felt the same about him as he did about her. But of course he couldn't do that, because Dean was there and Dean didn't know anything about the kiss. Not yet anyway......
R: ''I'm not jealous. Why should I be jealous ?''
D: ''What are you doing here Jess ?''
J: ''Shopping.''
He reached past Rory and grabbed a can of soup, that was standing on a shelf behind her.
Rory tightened her grip on the basket, to keep her hands from shaking. Jess was so close. For a minute she could feel the warmth of his skin.
D: ''You got your soup,now leave.''
J: ''I still have to pay for it bag boy.''
D: ''What did you call me ?''
J: ''You heard me bag boy.''
D: ''Say that again and I'll............''
R: ''Dean..........don't. Just leave Jess.''
J: ''Don't worry I'm going.''
He turned around to walk away, but changed his mind and faced Rory again.
J: ''By the way great dance. I won't forget that any day soon.''
Rory felt as if she couldn't breath. She looked straight into Jess' eyes that showed no emotion at all. He just looked back at her with an amused look on his face. He thought that this was amusing ? She didn't even have to look at Dean to know that he was mad. She dropped her basket and left the store without looking at Dean. At home she called Lane. While she was waiting for Lane to pick up the phone, she was fighting her tears. She wasn't going to cry. Jess didn't deserve that. Finally Lane answered.
R: ''Lane........it's me.''
Lane: ''Rory ? Are you okay ?''
R: ''No.''
Lane: ''What happened ?''
R: ''Jess happened.''
Lane: ''You guys had another fight ?''
R: ''No........I don't know.''
Lane: ''Tell me......''
R: ''I was at Doose's with Dean and he showed up.''
Lane: ''You mean Jess ?''
R: ''Yeah. He said something to Dean about the dance and.....''
Lane: ''Wait.........the dance in general or the dance as in the dance where you were dancing with Jess ?''
R: ''The last one.''
Lane: ''What did he say ?''
R: ''That he wouldn't forget it any day soon. And I just explained to Dean that my mom made me dance with Jess, but now he probably thinks that I'm lying and that I wanted to dance with Jess, because of what he said to Dean at Doose's.''
Lane: ''Was Dean mad ?''
R: ''I don't know.''.
Lane: ''Didn't he talk to you about it ?''
R: ''He couldn't.''
Lane: ''What do you mean he couldn't ?''
R: ''I left Doose's and went home without talking to him.........I didn't even look at him. I just had to get out of there. How could Jess say that to him ? Does he like to ruin my life ? Or maybe he likes to see me and Dean fight.''
Lane: ''Jess is a jerk.''
R: ''At least I tried, right ? I really wanna be friends again with Jess, but he's complicating things for me now. Dean probably wants to know what really happened at the dance and if I have feelings for Jess and I don't know what I'm going to say to him.''
Lane: ''You'll say the right thing.''
R: ''Yeah, but what's the right thing ? I mean if I break up with Dean I hurt Dean and if I stay with Dean I hurt Jess.''
Lane: ''Ooo hurt Jess please ?''
R: ''Lane.''
Lane: ''What ? He deserves it.''
R: ''No he doesn't. I brought him into this mess by kissing him.''
Lane: ''Yeah, but he still deserves it.''
R: ''I don't know what to do Lane.''
Lane: ''Can't help you out there, sorry.''
R: ''Doesn't matter. I gotta go, my mom just came home.''
Lane: ''Okay, call me when you figure something out.''
R: ''Bye.''
Rory hung up. She was mad at Jess for saying that to Dean. Couldn't he just keep his mouth shut until she figured things out ? She tried to make the first step and Jess ruined it. If Jess was going to be a jerk, then she wouldn't bother trying anymore.
