Younger Man part 5

Jess and Lorelai sat on her couch, they had been there only a few minutes and neither had spoke. "Um so.... Jess...wanna coke" "No thanks" "Beer" "No" "Water" "Nah, I'm fine,Are ya nervous Lorelai" "No, why, do I seem nervous...Cause I'm not" "Well, hows Luke" "Good, he's got a girlfriend, she's always at the diner" "So he's not lusting after you anymore" "Luke never lusted after me" "Yeah right" "He didnt" " Uh...How are you parents" "Good I guess. Since Rory left they dont call much. And when they do it's about Rory. And they';ll tell me all this stuff shes doing. And I cant help but wonder why she didnt tell me. Why I have to hear it from them" "Sorry" "It's ok, I thought we'd always be close, I was wrong" Jess attempted to find something comforting to say. What would one of his characters do now. He didnt know. So mentally crossing his fingers he rested an arm across her shoulder gently leaninng her towards him. And that was all it took for Lorelai to fall against him. Her body shaking from tears that wouldnt come. He just held her. For once words words wouldnt save him. Lorelai rested her head on his shoulder. She felt so uninhibited in that moment. But, a ringing phone rushed reality back to them. And she felt embarrased and he was clueless. "It's mine" he mumbled pulling the cell phone from his pocket. "H'lo...I dont have time for this...later...I dont care...send her some flowers or somethin... The cards on my desk...I gotta go ...bye" "What was that about"Lorelai, even though she wasnt sure if it was 'appropriate' to ask. But she needed to get the conversation away from her. "Work, and my secretary had a baby" "Oh, secretary" "At the newspaper, I have a weekly column" "Wow" "Yeah" "Hey wanna go visit Luke" "Yeah you can fill me in on all the wonderful Taylor planned events that I missed" "You missed some good ones.." with that the pair exited the house. Begining the walk to Lukes.





Stay tuned What happens next...How do The Stars Hollow citizens react to seeing Lorelai with some 'strange man'? And better yet how do they react when they find out who he is...
