Chapter six

"Where are you taking me Jess?"
"I told you, you have to wait and see. Besides, its not that big of a surprise. I just felt like going somewhere."
"So you basically don't know where we are going? We're just walking around Stars Hollow drinking coffee? There's nothing wrong with that except most people would consider this exercise, I mean walking around the whole town, and you know how there is just no way I can exercise because as you know us Gilmores don't have any exercise genes in us or whatever ya call it. Wow. I don't think anyone ever let me finish my rambling! It usually seems like I have so much to say, but now that I actually finished I am totally lost to what I could say. This is one of those times when I need my mother, but she may even be lost to something like this. Are you even listening to me Mr.?"
"Yes. You sure can say a lot can't you? Even when you were done rambling you still rambled. Must be very exhausting. And when we did leave I didn't really know where we were going, but now I do although it's not a real big deal, especially for all of your rambling."
"Well Mr. Mariano, since you now know where we are going would you mind sharing it with me?"
"Ok. In a few minutes."
"You like annoying me don't you?"
"Can't think of anything more fun to do."
"Well, fine. I am going on a kissing boycott. Since you love annoying me so much, I'm gonna annoy you with no kisses. Hmph."
"You couldn't last as much as a day without kissing me."
"Wanna bet?"
"Your on. We will go for one day without kissing. The one who even looks like they think they are gonna kiss the other one loses."
"What do we get if we win?"
"We get the other one something special if the other one wins."
"Oh, so I get it. You have it all planned out don't you? You are going to let me win so you can give me a present. That's so cute but I can win on my own thank you very much.
"Well I was never going to let you win, but now since you say you can win on your own I will have to make it harder for you."
"Like what are you gonna do?"
"Can't tell. You might take my ideas, since we all know you are such a big cheater and all."
"I find that as an insult. You are very mean."
"Sorry, but look. We're here." They we're standing in front of the gazebo. Hmm, the gazebo. This isn't usually a place I come to, but now that I think about, this is a very pretty place. Rory thought to herself.
"See, I told you it wasn't that big of surprise, but-"
"No, no. It's nice. I've never really come here before, that much, but now that I look at it, it's really pretty. I mean flowers all around it, and it's in the middle of town and we can see everything. Hey look. There's the diner. I think I see mom and Luke making out. Wait, no. That can't be right. They wouldn't do that in front of all the costumers. It would be all over town. I think I'm going blind." They walked over and sat on the bench in the gazebo.
"Well, your not completely blind. Someone is making out but it's not your mom and Luke. Actually, I think that's Lane and Dave."
"Whoa. You mean I mistook my mom for Lane? I really am blind."
"No your not. I wonder if Mrs. Kim knows they're dating. Why else would they be so confident to kiss in public?"
"Oh, because Mrs. Kim is out of town and won't be back until Christmas break is over. She left right after Christmas I think."
"Oh. That explains it." They looked around the town talking about everyone they saw except one person. Rory saw Dean walking around not really looking like he knew where he was going. He must be on his lunch break. Rory thought. Please don't let him see me, please.
***
Dean was wondering around deciding where he should go for lunch when he saw it-Rory and Jess sitting in the gazebo-together. All of a sudden a rush of anger swept through him. What is she thinking? We just got over our relationship a couple of weeks ago and she's already going out with him?! Dean thought to himself. And to think, I thought she really cared about me. Shouldn't she be crying right now? She should be miserable. Why does she look so happy? Oh, I'll show that Jess. He's gonna be sorry he ever laid eyes on Rory.
Dean ran over to Jess and Rory. "What do you think you're doing Rory? Huh, huh? We just broke up a couple of weeks ago and you're already going out with him? I thought you really cared about me? Why would you do this?"
"Hey, lay off bag boy. She didn't do anything to you and you know it."
"Yes she did, and you're the cause of it. You're gonna pay you ever spoke to Rory!" Dean threw a punch at jess but Jess dunk and Dean missed.
"Dean, I don't want to fight you."
"Why? Is the bad boy scared? I guess you're not that bad now."
"I'm not scared. If you want me to fight you then lets do it somewhere else. Not in front of Rory though!" Jess yelled.
"Isn't that cute. Trying to protect Rory, or maybe it's just because you don't want her to see you get pounded." Dean threw another punch and this time got Jess in the face.
"Dean!" Rory screamed. "what do you think you're doing? We are over! Through! Done with! I can go out with anyone I want to now and when I want to. You're the one who broke up with me so stop acting like I did some sort of crime, and don't you dare take you're anger out on Jess. I made a choice to go out with Jess, and it wasn't to make you mad. It was because I like him. He didn't do anything! Now get out of here!"
Dean walked away without saying anything else.
"Jess," Rory got down on the floor by him, "Are you ok?"
"Yeah. I'm fine. Wasn't that hard of a hit."
"He knocked you on the ground! I say that's a pretty hard hit. It's already swelling. You are gonna have one big bruised eye. I'm so sorry he did this to you. I should have said something to him sooner."
"It's ok, really."
"No it's not."
"Well it's not your fault it happened. He's the one who hit me."
"I know it's not my fault, but I still should have said something sooner and this wouldn't have happened. Oh, yeah. I thought it was very mature for you to not fight with Dean. Thanks."
"No, prob."
"Now let's get you back to the diner. You need to put ice on that to make the swelling go down."
