Chapter 3
Jealous! Who me?
Jess closed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating. But when he opened them she was still there.
"Skye?"
"The one and only."
"Holy crap!" he exclaimed as he ran around the counter, sweeping her into his arms and spinning her around. Their laughter echoed around the diner. He pulled back to take a good look at her, his eyes taking in everything - head to toe.
Her ebony, wavy hair hung a couple of inches above her waist with purple and blue streaks in them; delicately arched eyebrows above thickly lashed violet eyes with midnight blue rings in them; high cheekbones on either side of a pert nose; full butterfly shaped lips, dimples adding to their sensuality. She wore a black sex pistols baby-tee and hip huggers, which revealed two Chinese tattoos on her hip.
"Well, if I'd known I was gonna get this kinda welcome I would've hopped in my ride so much sooner."
He hugged her again just to make sure she was real.
He grinned. Definitely real.
"Not that I'm complaining but what are you doing here, a bit out of your way isn't it?"
Before she could answer they were interrupted by Lorelai calling,
"Hate to break up what seems to be a happy reunion Jess but aren't you gonna introduce us to your friend here?"
"Um, sure."
Us.
Crap!
He remembered that Rory was still here. He looked at her but she refused to make eye contact.
Great!
He pulled Skye towards their table. "Rory, Lorelai and Luke," he turned including his uncle. "this is Skye. My friend from New York."
"Skye this is Rory, her mom Lorelai and my uncle Luke."
"Hi all." Skye said offering her hand first to Luke, Lorelai and then Rory, who after a brief hesitation shook it. Jess breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey. Welcome to Stars Hollow." Lorelai said.
"Thanks . wait a minute. Lorelai as in the Independence Inn?"
"Yup," she replied, a surprised look on her face but then it was soon replaced by amusement. "Oh, you're the one Michel was telling me about."
"Michel?"
"French guy."
"Oh. Ooh, do I even wanna know what was said?"
Lorelai smiled, "Let's just say you made an impression, love the top by the way. and the tattoos. What - " She ended abruptly when she saw Rory's expression.
"Thanks." An awkward silence followed.
The weirdness of the situation finally hit Jess after the joy of seeing Skye again.
"Look I should go. I feel like I'm interrupting something." She turned to Jess. "I should've called first, I'm sorry."
He was torn between two of the most important females in his life. On the one hand there was Skye, his friend who knew him so well, who proved that he wasn't really alone even though sometimes he felt like it.
And the other hand there was Rory. The part she played in his life he wasn't quite sure of. Friend wasn't what he truly wanted her to be but their relationship was so fragile.
"Don't be crazy Skye! I'm glad you're here, really glad. Tell you what, why don't we meet up later, catch up and all?"
"Sounds good. Bye Jess," they hugged again. "Bye Rory, Lorelai, Luke."
"Bye!" "Catch you later Mariano." She grinned at him, her eyes reaching into his heart.
She knew.
And Jess knew that having her around was going to make things so much simpler and yet so much more complicated at the same time.

"Skye. What kind of name is Skye anyway?" Rory complained back at home.
"I think it's got that liberated feel to it. Besides it seems to suit her." Her mom replied.
"Great, so now you're president of her fan club? Why don't you just adopt her? Love the top by the way and the tattoos!" Rory mimicked.
Lorelai stared at her offspring.
"Why are you getting so upset?"
"Upset? I'm not upset!" Rory shouted as she jumped up from the couch. "I'm not upset." She said again as her mom continued to look at her.
"I'm going to my room now."
"Okay."
"Okay." She turned to leave.
"Rory wait."
Turning back, "Yes?"
"Did um, did something happed between you and Jess?"
"What?"
"It's just that that might explain the way you're acting."
"And what way is that?"
"Jealous." Lorelai stated simply.
"I am so not jealous! I couldn't care really. And no, nothing happened between me and Jess." She turned to leave again but stopped.
"Jess means nothing to me. In fact I hope he and Skye will be happy together. I hope they'll get married and have lots of little Jess' and Skye's running around. Just not here in Stars Hollow!"
With that she ran to her room and slammed the door shut.
A knowing Lorelai sat down.
Sure she's not jealous. Yeah right! And I hate coffee.

A/N: Sorry so short but I just wanted to concentrate on Rory's jealousy and the actions causing them. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
