Chapter 6: Early wake-up calls, an expansion and an exploding fridge.

Disclaimer: (I always forget to do this) I don't own the Gilmore Girls, just this story!!!

A/N So here's the new chapter, Rory and Jess will see eachother again and there will be just a little bit of fluff, but not too much, if you guys want more fluff then let me know, I think I can squeeze a chapter in before we get to the... (Still a secret, but you'll find out soon enough!)

Rory was lying on her bed with her eyes closed. She just had the best dream ever: she and Jess were sitting on the bridge and Jess had kissed her. Rory didn't want to open her eyes; she didn't want the dream to go away. She wanted to stay in bed all day long and have that dream over and over again….

But wait…Rory was slowly remembering what had happened last night. The kiss with Jess wasn't a dream, it really happened!

Rory got all excited when she thought about last night. Jess and she were sitting on the bridge, she told Jess she'd broken up with Dean and then Jess kissed her and she kissed him. She remembered feeling great, that whole evening was great.

Jess had walked Rory home and in the dark he had whispered sweet words in her ear. She couldn't wait to see Jess again.

Lorelai: 'Rise and shine, beauty!' 

Lorelai just came barging into Rory's room, walked towards her and ripped the blanked off Rory. So far for staying in bed all day long.

Rory: 'Mom, what are you doing?'

Lorelai: 'I'm making you get up.'

Lorelai was holding the blanket and walked towards the window to open the curtains.

Rory: 'Yes, I got that part when you came barging into my room, yelling. But why? It's 7:30 and I don't have to be in school, it's Saturday.'

Lorelai: 'Smart girl. I just want to get to Luke's early so I can go early to Sookie who's at the Inn.'

Lorelai walked back to Rory's bed where Rory was trying to bury her head underneath her pillow.

Rory: 'Then go without me, I want to sleep.'

Lorelai took the pillow also from Rory.

Lorelai: 'No, that's not gonna happen. I'll be gone all day long and I just want to spend some time with my daughter today.'

Rory: 'Well, can't we do that tonight? This daughter wishes some more sleep.'

Rory tried to grab the blanket out of Lorelai's hands, but Lorelai stepped aside and Rory fell out of her bed.

Rory: 'Ouch.'

Lorelai threw the blanket and pillow on Rory's bed and helped Rory up.

Lorelai: 'No, you're coming because today we have that stupid conference at the Inn and they're all staying the night, so I have to be there in case there are problems with the food or with the rooms.'

Falling out of bed woke Rory up good and she realized the sooner she'd go to Luke's, the sooner she'd see Jess.

Rory got up and raced to the bathroom to take a shower, almost falling over a forgotten shoe on her way.

As Rory and Lorelai approached Luke's diner, Rory began to feel butterflies in her stomach, just like she had felt last night when she saw Jess sitting on the bridge.

Rory had no idea what she was gonna do today, she had absolutely no plans at all. And her mother was out, so it was probably gonna be one of her reading-and-do-homework-days. She didn't mind; she loved to read and at least she'd have the house all by herself so she could finish that History essay without being interrupted.

Jess woke up early that morning, he hadn't slept really well last night, because he couldn't stop thinking about the kiss. When he decided to get up he heard Lorelai rambling outside. He looked outside and saw what he had expected to see: Lorelai and Rory were heading to the diner. Jess smirked. He decided to take a shower and for the first time in his life he thought twice about what he was going to wear.

Since he wasn't very vain, he pulled his best shirt out of the closet, brushed his hair, put some gel in it and headed down stairs.

Meanwhile Rory and Lorelai had reached Luke's and entered. There was this huge sign hanging above the counter saying: 'Free refills Today.'

Lorelai: 'Ah, my day has just been made.'

Rory: 'Wow Luke, in a good mood today?'

Luke: 'Actually, no, I'm not in a good mood.'

Lorelai: 'So you tried to compensate your dreadful behavior today with free refills? Smart thinking.'

Luke: 'No, it's just that somebody ordered too much coffee and the expiring date is tomorrow, so I thought: why waste good coffee?'

Lorelai: 'I'm totally with you on that.'

Rory: 'Me too.'

Lorelai and Rory sat down at their usual table and Rory looked around the diner. No sign of Jess, but who could expect any normal person to get up at 7:30 on a Saturday morning?

Luke: 'Looking for someone?'

Lorelai: 'As a matter of fact, yes. I'm expecting Prince Charming to walk through that door any minute now.'

Luke: 'I wasn't talking to you, Lorelai, I was talking to Rory. You seem to be looking for someone or something.'

Rory turned a little red.

Rory: 'Nope, just looking around aimlessly.'

Lorelai: 'She's not used to getting up so early.'

Luke: 'And you are?'

No matter what time of the day it was, Luke always had some sarcastic remark lying around.

Lorelai: 'Oh, no. I do function pretty well in the morning…after three cups of coffee.'

Rory: 'Speaking of coffee -.'

Luke: 'Two coffee, coming right up.'

Luke walked to the counter to make some fresh coffee.

Lorelai: 'So, what are you going to do today?'

Rory: 'Not much, probably die of boredom.'

Lorelai: 'Well, at least you have a plan.'

Rory: 'Yeah.'

Lorelai: 'Hey, did I tell you we might be expanding?'

Rory: 'What? Where?'

Lorelai: 'At the Inn, business are going so well that we're thinking of building a couple more rooms.'

Rory: 'When are you for sure?'

Lorelai: 'By the end of this day. The architect is coming today to look around and if all goes well we'll have eight more rooms in a couple of months.'

Rory: 'That sounds great.'

Lorelai: 'Yes, it's a big thing.'

Luke arrived with the coffee, hearing bits and pieces of their conversation.

Luke: 'Who's expanding?'

Lorelai: 'We are.'

Luke: 'Really? So all that food you guys have been eating finally catches up with your bodies, huh.'

Lorelai: 'Luke, you must know by now that we Gilmore women are blessed with a slim figure no matter how much junk food we stuff down our throats. We were talking about expanding at the Inn.'

Rory: 'They're gonna build eight more rooms.'

Luke: 'Wow, sounds like fun.'

Lorelai: 'Yes, and while we're at it, we're thinking of redecorating the entire place.'

Luke: 'Speaking of redecorating, I'm thinking of painting my office.'

Lorelai: 'Can I help? I love to paint.'

Luke: 'Sure, but this time I get to pick the paint.'

Lorelai: 'Whatever you say, captain.'

Luke walked away again, leaving Rory and Lorelai with a steaming cup of coffee in front of them.

Lorelai: 'Any word from Dean yet?'

Rory: 'No, but I haven't seen him in a while.'

Lorelai: 'I wonder how that could happen.' Referring to Rory not leaving the house during daytime.

Rory: 'Do you think he's still mad?'

Lorelai: 'Well, let's see; you broke up with him when he really didn't expect it without giving him a constructive reason for doing so, other than: I just don't love you anymore. Yeah, I think he's still mad.'

Rory: 'Don't take his side, you know it wasn't easy to do.'

Lorelai: 'Yes, I know sweetie. I'm sorry, but I'm trying to say that it's very comprehensible if he's still mad.'

Rory: 'I guess you're right.'

Lorelai: 'Trust me, I'm always right.'

Rory: 'Not that time when the fridge was so full that I couldn't get the door closed and you told me to push real hard, but then the milk cartons inside exploded. It sounded like the entire fridge was exploding. It took me forever to clean it all up. You weren't right then, were you?'

Lorelai: 'I might have misjudged the situation at that time, but for the rest of the time, that statement goes.'

Rory just continued, ignoring Lorelai's remark.

Rory: 'Or that time when you tried to make your own pancakes and you went to get the mail, leaving the pancakes on the stove. When you returned fifteen minutes later you found the kitchen on fire.'

Lorelai: 'The kitchen was not on fire, just the pancakes who were a little black.'

Rory: 'The house smelled like we cremated something indoors for days.'

Lorelai: 'Yeah, yeah, I get your point.'

Rory: 'I remember when you -.'

Lorelai: 'You're really having fun, haven't you?'

Rory: 'Yes, I am.'

Lorelai: 'Don't.'

Rory: 'Why not?'

Lorelai: 'Cause it's making me cranky.'

Rory: 'I can't see why me having fun is making you cranky.'

Lorelai: 'You reciting every single one of my misjudged situations does the trick.'

Rory: 'I don't want you to be cranky.'

Lorelai: 'Me neither.'

Rory: 'I'll stop.'

Lorelai: 'Thank you.'

There was a silence. Rory started to snigger all of a sudden.

Rory: 'You were really wrong when you-.'

Rory stopped talking when she saw the look on Lorelai's face and started to laugh out loud.

Jess: 'What's so funny?'

Luke: 'Why are you up yet, usually you don't get up before 10 o'clock.'

Jess: 'When you say things like that, uncle Luke, I am amazed to hear people say they don't think you're an understandable, caring person.'

Luke: 'Cut the crap Jess. Since you're up you might as well get to work.'

Jess: 'I can't, I have an errand to run.'

He walked out the door just before he looked at Rory and winked.

Rory got the message and turned to Lorelai.

Rory: 'That reminds me, I have to do something aswell.'

Rory got up and walked towards the door.

Lorelai: 'Like what?'

Rory didn't hear Lorelai, she was out the door and onto the street, heading for the bridge, because she figured that's where Jess would be.

She walked quickly, wanting to talk to Jess as soon as possible.

When she arrived at the bridge there was no sign of Jess. She stood in the middle of the bridge, turned around, and didn't see him anywhere. She thought of places he might be, perhaps he went to her house. Or to the gazebo, but would Jess go there?

Suddenly she felt someone grab her arm and turned around. In a flash she saw Jess' face before he kissed her. She kissed him back and they stood there for a couple of minutes.

Jess: 'Morning.'

Jess had wanted to see her ever since he woke up that morning.

Rory: 'Morning.'

They kissed again, not noticing that they weren't the only one there. The person arriving at the bridge wasn't expecting to see something like that happen in front of him and wasn't pleased at all to face what happened between Rory and Jess...

A/N This is starting to look a bit like a soap, cutting off the story at this point, but I have to, otherwise the chapter will be too long. But I promise to update very very soon, because I have all the free time in the world (except when I have to go to school). Anyways, please review, it helps a lot to get some feedback!
