A/N: Hey everyone, sorry it took so long for an update. I was just way too busy, couldn't do anything at all this past weekend. I was off Friday for the fair, went to that with my mom, my sister, and one of my sister's friends. Then Saturday I had a Color Guard competition (I'm on the Color Guard team at my school). Anyway, we won first place in inspection!!!! YAY!!! It was our first competition of the year too! I'm so happy, there's three in school Color Guard teams, and the team I'm on is a sophomore team, and the rest is seniors and juniors. But everyone calls my team the Barbie Guard because we're all blondes (well I'm dirty blonde so. yea anyways lol sorry). But yea, ok. Sorry for all these story's guys. I just get a little too caught up here. I feel like you all listen to me, so yea anyway thank for the reviews everyone! Thanks, thanks, thanks! Love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have fun reading!

What The Heart Wants 34



Usual Disclaimers Apply

Jess pulled through the drive and back out onto the road. Rory handed him a burger wrapped in a paper with a large yellow M on it. Rory pulled one out for herself, she unwrapped it, took a bite. She grimaced.

Rory: Jeez, I don't understand why there are so many McDonalds around. Their so nasty.

She threw the burger back in the bag, took out a fry, and took a bite; it ended up in the bag also. She shrugged and took a sip of her soda then let her gaze return to the world that was right outside her window.

Jess reached into his pocket and pulled the little map out again. He scanned it, and then a couple signs on the side of the road, then looked at the map again before shoving it back in his pocket. Rory turned to him.

R: Where are we going?

She asked for like the fiftieth time. Jess smiled and just shook his head.

Jess: Don't worry you'll like it.

Jess sighed. They should be getting there tomorrow; they had been on the road for four days. "Hopefully Luke and Lorelai left at the set time." Jess kept thinking to himself. He smiled at the fact that Luke and him had set the whole trip up without the girls knowing.

Somewhere Else.

Lorelai took a sip of her coffee, set it down. She looked at Luke.

Lorelai: Luke,

Luke: What Lorelai?

His voice showed a little aggravation.

L: Are we there yet?

Lorelai smiled but Luke gave her a bone chilling glance.

Luke: Lorelai I'm not even going to answer that.

L: Why? It's a reasonable question.

Luke: Not when you just asked it one minute ago.

L: How do you know? Did you count?

Luke: Actually yes, and to tell you the truth it took you thirty-eight seconds to ask.

L: You lie, you just counted slow.

She took another sip of her coffee, smiled.

L: Luke, are we there yet?

Again, Somewhere Else.

Rory had fallen asleep, Jess smiled. He loved watching her sleep. It made her look more innocent than she already did. He reached to the back seat and grabbed a small pillow that she had brought. He carefully put it behind her head. He return his eyes to the road, smile still in place. Her innocent face plastered in his mind, his memories. He looked at her again.

Rory stirred, she felt his eyes on her. Sometimes it made her uncomfortable, but right now it didn't. She opened her eyes hoping to see two dark brown eyes meeting her blue eyes. But she didn't, they were placed on the road. Carefully watching, protecting she thought. She smiled. He looked over at her; he returned her smile with one of his own, one that lightened his face up a bit. Didn't make him look as mean. His eyes went back to the road in front of them. Rory let her eyes linger on Jess for a while longer then let them close, only to see him again in her sleep.
