*Disclaimer: I don't own the series Gilmore Girls or the characters. All I
own is my imagination and the plot.
*A/N: HEY!!! One more day and then I'm all yours! I swear, I'll practically be glued to the keyboard. This chapter is just something I had to put in to show that Dean isn't as nice as Rory thinks he is. And I tried to focus a little bit on Jess' feelings, so I hoped it worked. Please leave a review and let me know! THANKS!!! The next chapter will be up as soon as possible. It will explain why Lorelai decided to move to New York, I will bring up the Luke and Jess thing and it will focus only on Jess and Rory. After that chapter, Dean and Tristan will be back!!! Thanks again for all the amazing reviews I got on the last chapter. Just know that I really appreciate them!!!
*~*~*:-)*~*~*Bye, smile :-)
The next morning, Rory quickly put on some clothes and silently started to head for the door. On her way there, she past her mother's room. The door was still closed and she could hear snoring coming from the other end of the door. Rory turned the knob, making sure not to make any noise and opened the door a little so she could throw a quick glance inside. She smiled at the sight of her mom cuddled under the bright red blanket that she refused to throw out even though there were various nail polish stains on it. Rory softly laughed at the memory of her mom accidentally dropping glittery nail polish on it. She said that now the blanket was perfect. She had always wanted a glittery blanket. Her mom stirred and Rory quickly closed the door again. She should just let her mom sleep. She deserved it. Rory wrote a note for her mom and went outside, stepping in to the golden rays of the sunshine that were reaching out for her with their warm glow. It was still early and the chills of the night before still filled the air. There were still some streaks of pink in the cloudless sky. It reminded Rory of the paintings she used to draw for her mom. All the skies she drew used to be pink with a big, yellow sun in the middle of the sky that seemed to go on forever. Of course on her drawing the sky stopped at the corners of the piece of paper, but in reality, who knew where the sky stopped. Maybe it did go on forever. Before Rory knew it, she had reached her destination. Just looking at the small yet cozy diner made her think of the familiar diner back in Stars Hollow. With the familiar owner that had been more of a father to her than her real father had been. Rory took a deep breath and forced herself not to think of Stars Hollow. She pushed the door open and was immediately greeted by a pair of friendly eyes.
R: ''Hey, what are you doing here ?''
D: ''Waiting for you.''
Then and there Rory started to have doubts again. She was having doubts about her own feelings. Yesterday all she could think about was Jess. His magnificent, dark eyes that enchanted her whenever he looked at her and his black hair that curled slightly. And right at this moment, all she could think about was Dean. His friendly, light eyes that always seemed to shine when he saw her, his cute smile that she just couldn't resist and the way he kept making sweet comments like that.
D: ''What are you doing here ? Let me guess...........coffee ?''
Rory lips curled up into a smile and nodded.
R: ''Yeah, I never seem fully awake without coffee.''
D: ''Well, then you better sit down and get yourself a cup of coffee.''
R: ''Probably.''
Dean gestured at the chair next to him.
D: ''You wanna join me ?''
R: ''Sure, unless you don't want me to of course.''
D: ''I just asked you.''
R: ''I know, but maybe you didn't mean it.''
D: ''Then why would I have asked in the first place ?''
R: ''Cause that's just the person you are ?''
D: ''Right, so I just ask everyone who walks by if they want to join me ?''
R: ''That's a little creepy.''
D: ''Yeah, I mean you never know who's going to sit down next. It could be a serial killer, a thieve or god forbid someone with a crazy sense of humor.''
R: ''Well, I'm definitely not a serial killer.''
D: ''How about a thieve ?''
R: ''During the night yeah, but during the day I play the role of a girl named Rory.''
D: ''I guess you can sit down.''
R: ''But I'm a thieve.''
D: ''During the night, but it's day now.''
R: ''Really ? I thought someone just put on a really bright light or something.''
D: ''Crazy sense of humor it is.''
Rory smiled and sat down on the chair next to Dean. Dean ordered her a coffee and moments later she had her hands wrapped around an orange mug that was filled with coffee.
D: ''So, what have you been up to ?''
Rory took a sip of her coffee and looked up at him.
R: ''Nothing really. Well, I went to explore the city yesterday and.........''
D: ''How daring.''
R: ''And I ended up at this old book-store.''
D: ''Exciting.''
R: ''It is actually.''
D: ''Really ? Cause I always thought books were boring.''
R: ''How can you say that ?!''
D: ''It's easy, I just open my mouth and the words just come out. I think it's called talking nowadays.''
R: ''You know, I would like you better if you just sit there and be quiet.''
D: ''Your wish is my command. I'll just sit here, without saying a word and listen to every single word that comes out of your beautiful mouth.''
Rory lowered her eyes and started to examine her coffee. A smile was tugging at the corners of her lips finally forcing a smile to break through. A slight blush could be seen on her cheeks, that seemed to amuse Dean.
D: ''So, tell me about this book-store.''
R: ''I thought you thought books were boring ?''
D: ''Prove me wrong.''
Rory quickly looked up and met his eyes that were shimmering with amusement. She lowered her eyes again and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
R: ''The book-store was really big, bigger than I've ever seen. And it had a book-case in the back that was filled with books that I had never heard of before. It was amazing. I spend the entire day there.''
D: ''The entire day ?''
R: ''Well, not maybe not the entire day, but the sun was shining when I got there and by the time I went home twilight had already fallen.''
Dean smiled at her and listened to her as if she was telling him the secrets of the universe. Never had he met someone before who seemed to get so much joy out of a simple book.
D: ''I still think books are boring though.''
R: ''You're unbelievable. Books aren't boring. I mean they take you anywhere you wanna go, you can live anybody's life.''
D: ''Live the dream.''
Rory gave him a look.
R: ''That's it, I'm taking you to the library tomorrow.''
D: ''And do what ?''
R: ''Pick out a book for you to read.''
D: ''But I can't read.''
R: ''Nice try.''
D: ''What if hypothetically someone poked out my eyes tomorrow ?''
R: ''Then I will read you a story.''
D: ''Now I feel like a three-year old.''
Even though he was pretending not to like the idea of going to the library and actually picking out a book for him to read, he didn't really mind. He would get to spend even more time with Rory and they would be in a public place, so what better time to make his move. He smiled a sly smile at her. He couldn't wait until tomorrow.
Rory reached for her coffee and was about to take a sip, when the door of the diner opened. She glanced in the direction of the door and smiled when she saw Jess' mysterious figure enter the diner, wearing a black leather jacket that made her shiver. He looked up and nodded at her, letting her know that he knew she was there. Rory's smile grew wider as she remembered his friendly gesture the night before.
Dean followed her gaze and got a confused look in his eyes when he saw who she was looking at.
D: ''Do you know him ?''
Rory shrugged and tore her eyes away from Jess.
R: ''I have seen him around, in the library mostly. We talked a couple of times.''
D: ''Yeah, well don't get too attached to him. We don't want you to turn in to a friendless shadow like him.''
Rory looked at Dean with shock written all over her face. Why did everyone have to judge people without actually knowing them ? Jess did it and now even Dean was doing it. Out of all the people, she never expected him to be like that.
R: ''Actually he's really nice.''
Dean shot her a disbelieved look and that was enough for Rory to put down her coffee and get up. A few minutes ago she thought Dean was the sweetest person she had ever met, but a second ago that just changed. She turned around and wanted to leave, but Dean stopped her by placing his hand on top of hers. This time, Rory didn't feel anything, no butterflies, no shivers, nothing. She guessed that one sentence could change everything.
D: ''Rory, I'm sorry.''
Rory wanted to pull her hand back, but Dean laced his fingers with hers and pulled her closer.
D: ''Maybe I'm wrong. It's not like I know the guy.''
R: ''No you don't.''
D: ''It was a really stupid thing of me to say. Accept my apology ?''
Rory bit her lip, throwing glances back and forth from Jess to Dean while she was doing this and finally nodded.
R: ''Everyone deserves a second chance.''
D: ''And I don't deserve you.''
Rory decided to ignore his comment and sat back down. She gently pulled her hand free and wrapped it around her coffee cup instead. As she listened to Dean talk about basketball, she kept stealing secret glances at Jess. If only she knew that he, hiding behind his book, was doing the same.......
Jess, who seemed engrossed in his book to the other people in the diner, lowered his book a little, so he could look at Rory again. He was wondering why she almost left a couple of seconds ago. But more important what Dean had said to her that convinced her to stay instead. It was stupid and unnecessary, but he was feeling jealousy towards Dean. He felt jealous, because he had the liberty of listening to every word that came out of her raspberry mouth. Every word was like a clear note and it sounded more beautiful than any song he had ever heard. And Dean was the one who could look into her clear blue eyes that held nod secrets and only had joyful tales to tell. Even though he knew that he had absolutely no reason to be jealous, since he probably meant nothing to her, he couldn't help but wonder if Rory really liked Dean.............
*A/N: HEY!!! One more day and then I'm all yours! I swear, I'll practically be glued to the keyboard.
