Chapter 8 - Phone Calls

**Gilmore House**

"Come on Rory, It's almost 7:30. We're going to be late!" Lorelei screamed through the house.

"I'm coming, I'll be right there."

"Hurry!"

"Ok!"

Lorelei walked out of the house and got in the car. Rory soon followed.

"So how was staying with Jess?" Lorelei asked pulling out of the driveway.

"I already told you everything that happened."

"I know but….. Well how is he?"

"I wouldn't know, remember he isn't talking to me."

"Oh yeah, sorry. So what's his house like?"

"Can we not talk about him right now?!"

"Ok"

'I miss him so much and it's only been a few days since I last saw him.' Rory thought as they pulled up to a club.

"Come on everyone's waiting." Lorelei said getting out of the car.

**Inside the club**

"Congratulations!" everyone yelled as they walked inside.

"Thank you." Rory replied taking a seat.

A few hours later Lorelei stood to give a toast before everybody got ready to leave.

"I would just like to thank everyone for coming, I hope you all had a good time. I know I did. I would also like to say one more congratulation to Rory, I know she only loves one man, and that's Chase."

Rory stood and her and Lorelei thanked everyone on their way out

"Mom?" Rory said when they were walking to the car.

"Yeah?"

"I….. I….. I think I love Jess."

"What?! Rory listen to yourself! Your getting married tomorrow!"

"I know I just think…… your right, what am I thinking. I love Chase, I know I do."

"Yes you do."

"Can we go I think I'm tired."

"Yes maybe that's why you weren't thinking."

**Gilmore House**

"Mom? What time do I have to get up tomorrow?"

"Well the wedding's at four, so you have to be up at least ten so we can get extra coffee. Hey you mind checking the messages? I'm going to get a movie and junk food" Lorelei said walking out the door.

Rory walked over to the machine. 'Three hang-ups., wonder who called.' She pressed the button on the caller ID net to the answering machine. A few seconds later Jess number showed up three times. 'Jess…'

"Hey I'm back" lore said walking in the door a few minutes later with coffee, food and movies. "what's wrong?" she asked Rory seeing the confused look on her face.

"Nothing, Jess just called three times while we were gone."

"Oh, what did he say?"

"Nothing he hung up"

"Rory its ok."

"I'm just wondering what he wanted."

"Well how about a movie, we don't want you thinking about him too much."

"What ones did you get?"

"Ghost World, Pumpkin, and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory."

"Umm…Well were going to watch them all right?"

"Yeah if we don't fall asleep."

"Ok……. Still to hard."

"Ok, I'll pick, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."

"How'd I know."

"Ok now come on we're wasting valuable movie time."

Lorelei yelled walking into the living room as the phone rang. "can you get that?"

"Yeah" Rory said walking over to the phone and looking at the caller ID as the phone rang again.

"Are you going to pick it up"

"No…" Rory replied seeing Jess's name.

"Ok…. Come on!"

** Luke's**

Luke was just getting ready to close up the diner for the night when the phone rang.

"We're closed" he yelled into the receiver.

"Luke, it's Jess."

"Oh hey, what do you want?"

"Um.. I was just wonder what time Rory's wedding is tomorrow."

"Four why?"

"I'm just wondering."

"No your not your up to something I know it."

"I am not."

"She love you Jess, you know that right?" Luke said in a serious voice.

"Yeah, but if she does, why is she marrying Chase tomorrow?"

"Maybe she doesn't think you love her anymore. You did leave with out telling her and then you stopped calling."

"I have to go Luke, I'll see ya."

"Bye."

** Gilmore House.**

Rory and Lorelei are on the couch watching the movie, all of their food is gone and they're out of coffee.

"Hey babe I'm going to call Luke and see if he can bring some coffee to the bride and her mother."

"Mom! Your using me!"

"No…. I'm just getting coffee. Lorelei said picking up the phone. Just before she hit the talk button, it rang. "hello?"

"Lor it's Luke."

"Oh hey I was just going to call and ask if you could bring some coffee over for the bride."

"Ok but I have to tell you something."

"What?"

"Jess called here and asked when the wedding was tomorrow, and he asked in a determined voice, like he was up to something."

"Luke calm down. He's probably not up to something he probably just wants to make it here."

"He sounded like he wanted to kill someone."

Luke just bring some coffee over here."

"Did you tell Rory about us?"

"Oh no not yet, I'll tell her now."

Ok, see ya soon."

"Yeah bye….. Hey Rory?" Lorelei said walking over to Rory and sitting down. "I think I should tell you something.

"What?"

"Luke and I ……. Um….. We're together."

"Mom, that's great!"

"I know."

"Wow I cant believe this happened. Finally! Jess and I always knew you guys would get together."

"Shut up!"

Knock-knock.

"Come on in!" Lorelei yelled standing up from the couch to greet Luke.

"Hey" she continued giving him a small kiss.

"Thanks for the coffee Luke." Rory said taking a cup.

"No problem, I have to get back to the diner"

"Fine!" Lorelei said crossing her arms.

"Sorry" he said giving her a long kiss.

"It's ok you can go." she replied leaning into him.

"Bye"

"Bye"
