Chapter 2: The Jess-Dean Thing Strikes Back
"Rory," called a voice.
Rory turned around. Oh, my god, thought Rory. I don't think I'm dreaming this time. It was Dean. Rory pinched herself to make sure she was dreaming. Sure enough, she wasn't.
"Hi," said Rory, nervously. "What are you doing here?"
"I go for a walk every morning," said Dean.
"How are things with Lindsay?" asked Rory.
"Umm, we're not," Dean didn't finish his sentence.
"What?" asked Rory.
"I caught Lindsay with another man," said Dean. "We're getting a divorce."
"Again, I'm sorry," said Rory. "Do you want to walk with me?"
"Sure," said Dean.
The two of them talked about everything. They talked about everything going on with them. Finally they entered Luke's. Rory told Dean that she wanted him to meet Drew. Dean was hesitant at first, but he finally agreed to. Lorelei, Dean, and Rory talked about Dean's divorce and everything else. It seemed like old times.
"Rory," called a voice.
Rory turned around. It was Drew.
"Hi," said Rory, giving him a quick peck on the lips. "Drew this is Dean. Dean, Drew."
"Nice to meet you," said Dean, shaking his hand.
"You, too," said Drew.
"And this is my mom, Lorelei," said Rory.
"Hi," said Lorelei, shaking his hand.
"I have to go," said Dean. "Rory can I talk to you outside for a second?"
Uh-oh, thought Rory. He's probably going to kiss me. Still, Rory followed him outside.
"I know you're with Drew," said Dean. "But, I was wondering if you want to spend the day together tomorrow. You know, as friends."
"Sure," said Rory. "Why don't we meet here at eight?"
"Sure," said Dean. "See you then."
"Okay," said Rory.
Dean walked away and Rory stared after him. He was such a nice guy. It was going to be nice to hang out with him. Suddenly Rory remembered that Drew and her mother were waiting inside. She quickly went back in and sat down next to Drew.
"So that's Dean," said Drew.
"Yeah," said Rory.
"Your ex-boyfriend?" asked Drew. "Your first boyfriend?"
"Yeah," said Rory.
"What did he want?" asked Drew.
"We were just making plans for tomorrow," said Rory. She immediately regretted saying that because she could see the jealousy in his eyes.
"Drew," said Rory, running her fingers through his blonde hair. "We're just friends. Don't worry."
"I'm sorry," said Drew. "You know I love you."
Drew kissed Rory, but she didn't feel anything. She felt empty. She turned and faced her mother. THAT NIGHT
"Rory, have you not learned anything from the Dean-Jess thing?" asked Lorelei, as she and Rory laid out all the food for their movie night. They decided to watch Casablanca.
"What?" asked Rory.
"You don't tell your boyfriend that you're going to hang out with your ex-boyfriend," said Lorelei. "This is what broke up you and Dean in the first place."
"That was totally different," said Rory.
"Still, Dean broke up with you because you were in love with Jess," said Lorelei. "And Drew might break up with you now because you're still in love with Dean."
"I am not," said Rory.
"You stared after him after he left," said Lorelei. "I saw you from the window. You had this dreamy look on your face. Also, after Drew kissed you, you had the look on your face."
"What look?" asked Rory.
"That 'I felt nothing in the kiss' kiss," said Lorelei. "I don't mind if you get back together with Dean I mean he is getting a divorce, but why is Drew bothering you? He's so cute."
"I feel like I'm suffocating," said Rory. "He's constantly at my side and constantly calling me and keeps telling me I'm his girl. I want to make this work, but I don't know if I can. I mean in the past few weeks, the passion I had for him kind of burned out."
"Sweetie, this happens to everyone," said Lorelei.
"I know," said Rory, starting the movie. "I just don't know what to do."
Is Rory still in love with Dean? Is Dean still in love with Rory? What do Rory's dreams mean? What will become of her relationship with Drew? To Be Continued.
A/N: Well, here's another chapter. Chapter 3 is coming soon (it doesn't have a name yet).
