Chapter 15: Announcements and Secrets Revealed
Rory cracked her eyes as the sunlight streamed through her window. She felt Jess' strong arms around her, and a safe feeling flooded her veins. Holding up her hand, Rory admired the sparkling diamond on her finger. A smile crept onto her face, which was soon replaced by a blush as she remembered what had transpired in her bedroom that night. Jess stirred in his sleep at that moment, and she turned her head to look at his angelic face. His hair was sticking out every which way and he was drooling a little, but to Rory he was beautiful.
Jess felt a presence before he even opened his eyes. He knew Rory was looking at him because he felt her eyes. He knew her so well that he could tell when she was happy or sad just by looking into her eyes. Jess never thought he could love anyone as much as he loved Rory. His eyes finally opened and he looked at his love. The smile on her face reached all the way to her eyes as she leaned in to kiss him good morning. She lingered in his arms a few seconds before she pulled away.
"Good morning," he greeted her.
"And a great morning to you, too," she replied with a laugh.
Rory climbed out of bed and wrapped a sheet around her. She shuffled into the bathroom to take a shower. When she was finished she walked back into her room to find Jess fully clothed and waiting for her. He had gone into the kitchen and ran some water through his hair so it didn't stick up. Rory started to get dressed because she was no longer shy in front of him.
"I guess we can head to the diner for breakfast," he suggested.
"Yeah, and I need to call my mom, too." Rory replied as she pulled her shirt on.
Jess smiled sheepishly, "I sort of told her not to be home tonight."
Rory grinned, "I thought so when she didn't come in or call once."
"I wonder where she wound up staying," Jess said to no one in particular. "I guess we'll find out soon enough," Rory replied, "I'm ready to go."
The couple strolled through the streets of Stars Hollow hand in hand. The townspeople all stared at them with disdainful glares. They ignored them and acted like they were the only two people in the universe. Once they reached the diner, Jess held the door open for his bride. The diner was empty because it was only 8:30. Usually Rory would be exhausted, but she was excited about her engagement and still in awe about the night before. The sight that took place before them on the counter made both of them look away.
-------------------------------
Luke woke up and saw a brown mass of curly hair in his face. His confusion only lasted a second as Lorelai rolled over and faced him. She was still sleeping and Luke admired how gorgeous she was even in her sleep. He couldn't resist brushing a strand of hair out of her face. Luke knew he was supposed to open the diner, but he couldn't leave the sleeping beauty lying beside him. After Luke moved Lorelai's hair away from her face, he ran his hand down her arm. This tickling sensation awoke Lorelia and Luke watched as her sparkling blue eyes fluttered open.
Lorelai woke up face to face with Luke. She was perplexed at first, but the events of the night before rushed into her head. Lorelai rolled over and kissed Luke. He was a little surprised, but quickly got over it and returned her kiss with just as much passion. They lay in Luke's bed for a few minutes basking in the glory of the aftermath. Luke didn't want to go downstairs and pretend that last night had never happened. He wanted to shout it to the world. He was falling in love with Lorelai.
"Don't you have to open the diner?" Lorelai asked with sadness.
"I don't want to, but I really should," he replied with just as much disappointment.
They got out of bed and quickly dressed for the day. Luke was already a couple of hours late, but he didn't care because of the magnificent night he had with Lorelai. He was flying! He never wanted this feeling of completion to go away. He and Lorelai opened the diner and Luke got her some coffee. She hadn't been up this early in a long time, but today it didn't bother her. Luke leaned over and kissed her out of the blue. He had wanted to do that for a while and since the diner was empty he went for it.
-----------------------------------
At that exact moment, Rory and Jess entered the diner. Rory started applauding and Jess whistled as he clapped. Luke and Lorelai broke apart, obviously embarrassed about being caught. Their embarrassment soon turned to shock as they realized that Jess and Rory already knew.
"How did you know?" Lorelai asked in utter disbelief because they had been so careful.
"Well," Rory started, "My fiance happened to see the two of you making out on our lawn a few nights ago."
Lorelai stood there with astonishment on her face. He proposed! That was why Jess wanted her out of the house. He thought they just needed some time to themselves; she had no idea that he has an event planned. Luke had the same look on his face as Lorelai, a mixture of stun and happiness. Lorelai was the first to speak.
"Y...you're getting married?" she asked with excitement.
"Uh huh," Rory replied with giddiness clearly in her voice.
"AAAAAAHHHHHH," both Gilmore's screamed.
They ran to each other and hugged. The two jumped up and down screaming and both talking at the same time. Their voices were incoherent with all the yelling and screaming mixed in. Luke laughed at the skeptical the two were making, and Jess rolled his eyes.
"Oh, I guess you already know Luke and I are together," Lorelai exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's wonderful!" Rory cried with glee.
The two hugged again and busted out laughing as the first few customers of the day filtered into Luke's. Lorelai decided to whisk Rory away for a day of wedding shopping. Rory and Jess wanted to get married in August, which was just a few weeks away. They didn't want a big wedding, just a small ceremony on the bridge. The planning of the wedding was going to be intense and packed into a few weeks. Rory didn't want to have a big belly in all of their wedding pictures, and they didn't want to wait until after the baby was born.
After Lorelai and Rory left, Luke and Jess got to work. By eleven the breakfast crowd was over, and the two men were awaiting the lunch group. Luke knew he had to say something to Jess, but he wasn't sure what. Finally, he decided to just say what he really thought.
"You did good, kid," he told Jess with sincerity.
"Thanks," Jess replied with a slight smile.
"Wow," Jess breathed quietly, "I'm getting married."
Luke scoffed, "I know! I never thought I'd see the day."
"Hey! I can commit," Jess said defensively.
Luke laughed, "Yeah, says the guy who ran away from here... twice!"
"Shut up," Jess replied, obviously annoyed with Luke.
Lorelai and Rory had a wonderful day and although they didn't buy anything, Rory felt like she knew what she wanted. Jess didn't really care about the wedding; all he wanted was to make Rory his wife, so they could be a family. Lorelai was ecstatic about Luke, after the nightmare over the past few months she was glad something positive came out of this. This entire day had been a wonderful day of announcements and planning.
A/N: That was kind of a filler chapter, tell me if you like it with your wonderful reviews because I LOVE them!
