Chapter 7: Too Kirk-y

Rory and Lorelai walked to Luke's when Rory stopped in her tracks.

"What?" asked Lorelai.

"I can't go in there," said Rory.

"Why not?"

"Dean's in there."

"So?"

"I don't know what to do or say around him."

"Honey.dinner."

"Get mine to go."

"Do you know what you want?"

"No, but I'll let you know."

"Rory come inside."

"No."

"Alright. Fine."

Lorelai walked inside shaking her head. Dean was taking orders from another table. Lorelai sat at the counter. I guess Rory's uncomfortable about the note, he thought, walking over to Lorelai.

"Let me guess," said Dean. "Coffee?"

"You know me too well," said Lorelai. "Also, I would like a burger please and I guess I'll get one for Rory, too."

"Where is she?"

"Outside."

"Why?"

Lorelai lowered her voice. "She hasn't made up her mind about the note you wrote her," said Lorelai. "So, she doesn't really know what to do."

"I see," said Dean. "You read it?"

"She wanted me to," said Lorelai. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," said Dean. "Was it too much like what Kirk would do?"

"You mean Kirk-y?"

"Yeah. Kirk-y."

"No. If it had been Kirk-y you would have said 'let me know in two weeks because you have a cold and I want to wait until it's gone.'"

"Kirk said that to you when he asked you out last year, didn't he?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah, Rory told me about that. Actually, she never washes her hands so I want her to wash her hands before she tells me. I don't want bacteria everywhere."

"Dean!" Lorelai playfully smacked him in the arm.

"Ow! Kidding!" Dean pretended it hurt. "Look, tell her to come in. My shift is almost over. I have homework."

"Oh, yeah. How's college going for you?"

"It's going okay, except Lindsay's friends are coming up to me and calling me a fickle bastard and other rude names."

"Sounds bad."

"I know."

"They just don't really know you like Rory and I do."

"I know. See you tomorrow."

"Okay. Bye."

Lorelai signaled Rory to come in. Rory came in.

"He went upstairs?" asked Rory.

"Yeah," said Lorelai. "How long are you going to do this?"

"Until I make a decision," said Rory.

To Be Continued..

A/N: Still stretching it out. Let me know when it's too stretched out. I personally think that this is stretched out enough. I don't want them to be going out with other people if you know what I mean. If you have some other ways on how I can stretch Rory's dilemma for at least three chapters, then let me know, but remember: I DON'T WANT THEM SEEING OTHER PEOPLE. Anyways, Chapter 7 is coming soon.
