Chapter 6.
"Wow, Grandma wasn't really happy with the whole Dad thing in there today," Rory commented on the drive home.
Lorelai stopped the car as they drove up to Luke's.
"What do you think Grandma would've said if I had told her I dumped Chris and hooked up with the diner man?" She paused. "Damn. I should've done that. It would've given her a heart attack."
"Mom," Rory said, giving her a look. "You don't want to give Grandma a heart attack. When do you plan on telling her anyways?"
"Not for a long time, not for a long time, my little grasshopper. When were you planning to tell her about Jess?"
Rory threw her a dirty look, and walked into the diner.
~.~ June - many months later (time flies!)
Rory sat patiently, waiting for Jess to end his shift. He finished wiping the last counter top, and threw it in the kitchen angrily.
"How was your day?" Rory asked, smiling. She stood up, and gave him a kiss.
"Long. Tremendously long."
Rory frowned. Jess had worked at Wal-mart today, as well as the diner for the dinner shift. He was beyond grumpy at this point.
"Let's go for a walk," Rory said, grabbing his hand. "It's nice and cool outside. We'll go and help get your mind off of things."
"Naw," Jess said, staying put, and tugging back Rory's hand when she pulled his toward the door.
"Let's go upstairs for a bit, and chill there. Luke's cleaning the kitchen anyway."
He smiled, and Rory began to lead the way.
**
Jess flopped on his bed, lying face up, at the ceiling. Rory removed her shoes, and cuddled up next to him, her head on his shoulder.
"Done your homework?" Rory asked, despite it being a Saturday.
"What, you're not my mother," Jess replied, harshly. Rory shifted uncomfortably beside him, and Jess realized his error.
"Yeah, I'm done. Didn't have much to do though. Teachers are preparing for finals soon." Jess looked at Rory, apologizing with his eyes.
"I didn't mean to snap at you," he said, pulling Rory closer to him. "Long day, you know. I'm just getting a little bit tired."
"I know, I know," Rory said, closing her eyes, and cuddling closer to Jess. She could hear his agitated breathing become more rhythmic, breathing softly in and out. Lately, Jess had been super cranky, and Rory tried so hard to not step on his toes, and annoy him. She sighed softly, and closed her eyes.
~.~
Lorelai bounded in, looking for Luke. She was holding two movies, and a bag from Doose's, presumably holding a huge quantity of junk food.
"Luke?" Lorelai called out, peering into the kitchen. Lorelai called out his name again, a little bit louder in the direction of the storage room. She came back into the diner, and set her belongings on the table.
A pair of strong hands grabbed her lightly at the waist.
"Boo!"
"Aghhhhhhhh!"
Lorelai whirled around, knowing who the person. She was greeted by the sight of a dozen red roses.
"Happy three -month anniversary, Lor," Luke said, offering the bouquet to her. She smiled, accepting them, but looked up at him angrily.
"I thought I told you not to scare me like that!" she scolded. "Happy anniversary," she replied, giving him a kiss.
"You called though," he answered, slyly. "I came. It's not my fault you didn't see me."
Lorelai stuck out her tongue. She dragged Luke to the counter, and showed him what she had brought in earlier.
"The Rock, a classic guy movie for you," she said, holding up the first video, "and Life as a house, as a sappy chickie choice."
Luke groaned.
"Did Rory help you out with those choices?"
"No, actually. I came up with all on my own," she said picking up her things. "Rory's starting exams soon, so I thought that she could spend some time with Jess before she ignores him for the rest of the semester."
"Uh huh," Luke nodded, sarcastically agreeing. "It's more like you wanted to get rid of her to spend more time with me," he grinned.
"Like I would ever plan to get rid of my daughter, and send her away?" Lorelai pretended to look shocked. "Never! Hey!" she said as Luke pulled away her things from her hands, and set them back on the counter.
"Come here," he said, leading her to the back, towards the storage room. He opened the door, to reveal small blanket laid out on the floor, and two plates with burgers and fries on top of it. A pickle jar stood as the centerpiece, aside from the candles illuminating the room.
"Awwww," Lorelai whispered, in awe. "We're celebrating our two month anniversary today, back where it all started.
Luke smiled and he led his girlfriend into the room, and locked the door.
~.~
Rory woke up, not knowing where she was. She noticed that she had fallen asleep in Jess' bed, but the odd thing was that Jess was no where to be seen. She checked the time, it was only 9 pm. Rory looked around for him, not finding him, but hearing the shower running. She climbed back into bed, reaching underneath the mattress for a well worn-out book. 'Oliver Twist' she read, opening the book to the cover page. 'Chapter 1.'
Jess came out of the bathroom, with a towel around his waist. He ran his hands casually through his hair, walking towards his room. He had fallen asleep with Rory in his arms, but woke up a short while after. He didn't want to wake her, so he decided to take a shower. 'Rory looks like a sleeping angel, innocent and pure' he thought as he left the room. 'God, I love her so much.' The pain inside him was unbearable sometimes. Hearing her laugh, watching her read, holding her in his arms, kissing her; it felt so right.
The last couple of weeks had been bothering him. Every time they were together, it hurt him. Her being so happy, but him, knowing he would be the one to cause her pain.
Sometimes he wasn't sure what to do. Jess wanted to be with Rory, but both of the knew that it would be too difficult to have a commuter relationship, especially during the school year. They would both get busy, drift apart, and never really talk again. That was the last thing that Jess ever wanted to do.
Rory looked up to see Jess leaning on the door frame, in deep though. She smiled when she saw what he was wearing, and put her book down. Jess walked to the bed slowly, and Rory moved toward his edge of the bed.
He wrapped his arms around her, and pulled her close. Rory could feel his heart beating fast.
Jess kicked the door shut with his foot, leaning down to kiss Rory lightly on the lips.
"Ms. Gilmore."
"Mr. Marino."
"How ya doing?" he said, imitating Joey from Friends.
Rory laughed as she pulled him on to the bed with her.
~.~
A while later...
Rory snuggled under the covers, closer to Jess.
"Wow." Rory looked up at Jess, in admiration.
"Wow yourself, Ror. I guess it's true, that the quiet ones are really the ones full of surprises there. I didn't expect that at all. Was it okay for you?" Jess looked into her face, of concern.
"It was perfect. You made it perfect. Thank you." Rory threaded her fingers in between Jess' and cuddled up closer.
They both lay there for another hour, soaking up what had happen moments before.
"I think I should go soon," Rory said, looking up at Jess. "Hand me a shirt please?"
Jess leaned over the bed, and picked up some of Rory's belongings, handing them to her. He picked up his boxers, and slid them on.
"I wish you could stay the night," he said tracing the outline of her neck with his fingers.
"I wish I could, but if I didn't go home, well, I hope you have a will written out. My mom and Luke will kill you - repeatedly, taking turns, if they found out."
Rory got up, struggling into a pair of jeans. Jess got out of bed, and wrapped his arms around her tiny waist.
"I love you," he whispered, kissing Rory on her neck.
"I love you too."
~.~
Lorelai sat next to Luke, yawning loudly. After their romantic dinner at the diner, they had gone back to the Gilmore's to watch the movies.
Luke was always still amazed at how much Lorelai could eat in one evening, all of it being junk food.
"I guess I should get going now," Luke said sliding from underneath Lorelai's body.
"No, stay the night." Lorelai stopped, and pulled at his hand.
Luke turned around, to see the look in her eyes.
"But where would I sleep?"
"In a bed. Upstairs. With me," Lorelai said in a sexy voice, her lips close to Luke's.
"What about Rory?"
"What about her? She's not home yet."
"What if she comes home, and catches us, you know." Luke's face began to turn red, at the thought.
"Come on, Mr. Danes. I've given her the talk, and she knows not to barge in on us. Don't worry."
Not knowing what to say, Luke allowed himself to be led up the stairs.
~.~ The next morning.
"Yeah, yeah. I'll be there in an hour. Just open the diner will ya? Don't burn it down or something. Bye."
Lorelai rolled over just in time to see Luke hang up the phone.
"Good morning" he said, giving Lorelai a kiss.
"Good morning." She smiled. "Who was that?"
"Jess. I wanted him to open the diner this morning."
"What time is it?"
"6:00"
"When are you leaving?"
"10:00"
"Good."
"Good." Luke slipped back under the covers, and closed his eyes.
"Luke?"
"Mmmm?"
Lorelai turned to face Luke, who seemed had fallen back asleep.
"Did you want to come to Friday dinner with us this week?"
"Sure," Luke replied, not knowing what he just agreed himself to.
"Sleep." he commanded, and Lorelai snuggled up tightly to him.
~.~
Rory woke up, sunlight streaming into her window. Rory looked at her alarm clock.
The familiar red digits red 9:15. Shit! She had slept in. She was supposed to meet Jess at the diner in 15 minutes for breakfast. She hurriedly got out of bed, and quickly got dressed.
Her mom had left junk food and video tapes all over the coffee table in the living room. Rory glanced up at her mom's still closed door.
She quickly scribbled a note, letting her mom know where she was, and left.
Rory ran into the diner, breathless.
"I'm here!" she called out to no one in particular.
She noticed Jess balancing plates as he came out of the kitchen.
"Jess!" she said running up to greet him. He halted in his steps, making sure he didn't drop anything. His facial expression showed that he was in a sour mood.
"Did you need any help?" Rory asked, smiling at him.
"Top the coffee off for people, will you?" he asked, walking toward a family seated at the window.
Rory and Jess scampered away, busy working at the diner for the rest of the morning, so busy Rory forgot to get breakfast.
Luke strolled in, casually, with Lorelai at his side, a couple hours later.
"You didn't say I'd have to run the diner by myself for the whole morning," Jess complained, once he saw Luke. He threw his dish towel angrily on the table, and disappeared upstairs.
"It was really busy," Rory explained, just as weary looking. She too disappeared upstairs.
Luke looked at Lorelai, and shrugged.
~.~
"Jess!" Rory called out. "You okay?"
"Yeah. I'm fine."
"You sure? You seemed pretty angry down there today."
'Really? You think?" Jess turned to Rory, scowling. "How would you like it to be waken up at 6 am, after four hours of sleep, and told to go open a bloody diner, and have the busiest morning possible?"
Rory shrank back at his tone. She straightened up, and looked at him.
"What's wrong with you?" she demanded, putting her hands on her hips.
"What?" Jess retorted.
"You've been in such a bad mood lately!"
"Naw really? Thanks for telling me that, genius."
"What's really wrong with you?"
"Nothing!" Jess said harshly. He grabbed his jacket, and started out the door. Rory grabbed his hand.
"Where are you going?"
"Out."
Rory started to follow him out but was stopped by Jess.
"I need to be alone right now, okay?" With that, he left, leaving Rory standing alone in the doorway, watching his figure disappear.
