So Gone
"Well, that was one eventful day" Lorelai said
"How's your stomach doing?"
"Pretty good actually"
"You?"
"Ah, I think the damage was rather psychological than physical"
"Want to watch some T.V?" Rory asked Lorelai
"Nah, there's probably nothing good anyway, I think I'll go sleep that Octopus over..."
"Yes, well I guess it'll be a good idea to go to sleep early"
Then she added in a small voice "I didn't get a lot of it last night"
"Right" Lorelai chuckled "Didn't get any?" She teased
"Mom!"
"I didn't mean it like that" Rory blushed furiously
"Stop it..."
"Evil mom"
"We still have to talk about it" Lorelai turned serious
"But let's leave it for the morning, after I'll have my coffee" Lorelai said, her tone softening
"Night mom"
"Night babe"
"Sweet dreams" Lorelai winked
"Mom!!!"
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Lorelai went upstairs, to get ready for bed. Rory went to her room and plopped on her bed still fully clothed. She could hear her mother in the shower for a few minutes and then it became quiet as Lorelai went to bed, to sleep.
'Wow, what a day' Rory thought to herself
She remembered the book and again, opened it and read the note Jess wrote to her. It was already 21:50. He'll finish work soon. When she first read the note she had no doubt about meeting Jess later tonight, But now... It's just that she felt a little guilty about going behind her mother's back... after they had talked and all, and the way she took it, She was so good about it.
'I was sure she's gonna freak and tell me how he's so bad for me and she doesn't like him and so on'
It doesn't feel right to sneak around like that. It's as if her mother is giving her a peace offer and she shouldn't turn it down now.
But then again...
'I want to see Jess'
'lying to mom...' 'See Jess...'
'What you don't know can't hurt you?'
'If I'll wait until she falls asleep, she would never know...'
'...And I can see him' A little smile spread over her face
'The Octopus thing is gonna kill him when I'll tell him about it...'
Rory kept laying on her bed, weighing her options, which already turned to Jess' favor.
'What can I do, it's above me'
22:00
Rory got up and put a CD in her stereo, deciding that she'll read for a while, and then go to meet Jess at the bridge at about 22:20, given that he'll probably take some time after work to get there.
A soft tune playing on her stereo, Rory picked up 'Oliver twist', opened it at the part that Jess read to her, almost 24 Hours ago, reflecting on the magical feeling she had while he did so.
'Seems like so much time has passed since'
MEANWHILE
Jess had about 30 more minutes until his shift was over. Today, he was assigned to help at the hardware department. Absorbed in his thoughts about the day's events, his shift was almost over before he even noticed and an outside observer would have detected the fact that Jess was extraordinarily friendly and tolerant towards the annoying customers today.
It was 21:27 and Jess could have sworn that at that exact moment, time has stopped its progress.
It seemed to him as if seconds became minutes and minutes became hours, as he was so enthusiastic about meeting Rory soon.
'What if she won't come?' Suddenly went into his mind
Up until now, that thought hasn't crossed his mind, seeing that he was so euphoric the whole day. He hadn't even considered that possibility.
'But what if she really won't come?'
'Then you'll see her tomorrow' He assured himself
'But I want to see her today'
'I have to see her today'
'Since when did you become so needy?'
'Insecure are we?' he questioned himself
'She told me she wanted me last night'
'What do you need more? an ad on the SH tabloid?'
'I can trust her words'
'Relax'
'10 more minutes and you're out of here...'
'OMG I'm soooo gone' It struck him
'And she didn't even try to make me... so gone..' he thought to himself, but even though, he felt good about it, because now he knew it was mutual, no more one sided heart aches.
'She finally admitted it'
'I love her'
'I love Rory'
'Oh man, I'm officially, totally, gone' he concluded with a big dumb smile on his face
