Chapter 6: Padded bras and bleach
"Are you serious?"
"More then I've ever been !"
Both girls smiled as they walked around the little town discussing their finally half planned summer vacation.
"Okay but wait- you're telling me that Luke just came up to you and offered you this cabin?"
"Uh-huh."
"With no catch? Come on Rory… there's gotta be a catch! Are you sacrificing coffee? No wait, wait, wait… you're sacrificing me! We'll get there, then BAM, I'm tied to the next cross out of there!"
"Lane! I would never sacrifice my coffee!"
Lane gasped.
"Your coffee? What about your best friend?"
"I'm only kidding- but yes there is a catch."
"Which is?"
"We have to share the cabin with Jess?"
"Jess?"
"Yes Jess!"
"Ok, and does part of this catch specifically state that Jess must sleep inside?"
"Yes, but here's the other thing- we can invite other people to come along with us."
"Really?" Lane questioned as she raised an eyebrow.
"Definitely!"
Lane thought for a minute.
"Well Rory, I know this is supposed to be… ya know… an us thing… but can I invite Dave? But unless you don't want me to cause ten I won't. It's totally up to you!"
"Lane! Take a breather! My mom also said because of the scary woods surrounding the house, I need to invite Dean. So go ahead call Dave and invite him."
"Oh Dean hey, this is gonna be so great!"
"Yeah great!" Rory said a little doubtful.
"What's the matter?"
"Well, this thing happened at the bookstore between Dean and I… and lets just say it went terribly." Rory told Lane as she lifted her sweater revealing her bruises.
"Oh my god Rory- what happened?"
For the next ten minutes Rory and Lane walked around the square as Rory caught her friend up on earlier events.
THE BRIDGE
After filling Lane in on the events at the bookstore-Rory suddenly became angry.
Lane had to be in for late night bible studies, so Rory was wandering around town by herself. She didn't want to go home because she was afraid Dean might be waiting there for her to apologize to her- and Rory really didn't want to see him tonight.
So instead of sitting on some bench and doing nothing, she decided to go sit on the bridge and do nothing.
It was dark out but very warm. Rory sat on the bridge, her feet skimming the water. 'How fun was her summer vacation gonna be now that they knew where they were headed!' Rory thought.
Not only was staying in the cabin with everyone gonna be fun- but the fair- that just quite possibly might be the best part.
Rory thought more about the fair. Then her mind drifted to previous winter carnivals her and Dean went to together. Before! Before Dean started his jealous streak, before Rory began to develop feelings for Jess. Jess! He was gonna be there. Rory couldn't help but smirk a bit at that thought.
"Something in the water interesting?"
"Oh god… Jess- you usually scare girls late at night?"
"Only ones that should be in bed- say Rory, isn't it past your bed time?"
"Well tonight consider me a rebel, living on the edge!"
"Not even an ounce of me could consider you a rebel!"
Rory laughed and motioned for him to join her. Jess sat down -staring at the water.
"Sorry if I ruined your summer plans."
"Nah, me and Shane would have gotten pretty bored out there after a while."
"Shane- she's coming?" Rory asked barely hiding the disappointment.
Why was she feeling disappointed? She had a boyfriend- they might be going through a rough patch but she still loved him.
"Yeah, she wasn't at first but since Luke said we could invite people- I figured- meh… why not?"
"Yeah no, it'll be fun!"
Jess stared at Rory, not for one minute believing her mood. She tried to act like Shane didn't bother her, but really she did. With her bleach blonde hair and walking with her chest sticking straight out…ehhhhh!!!!!
"Unless you don't want her to cause then I could un-invite her."
"Now wouldn't I want her to come? Maybe she can teach us all a little something about padded bras and bleach!"
"Do you have a problem with my girlfriend Rory?"
The word girlfriend hit her hard. She knew they were going out but hearing him call her his girlfriend made it sound so… official!
"No why would I have a problem with her? Some people just have to wear padded bras and bleach their hair so unimaginably freaking blonde that…
Jess pressed his lips against Rory's and she immediately responded. It just felt so right!
OKAY, MY FAVORITE GILMORE GIRLS WAS WHEN JESS TOLD RORY HE LOVED HER SO I'M IN MID-PRODUCTION OF A STORY ABOUT AFTER THAT EPISODE...MY WAY! I'LL TELL YA WHEN I POST IT! BUT FOR NOW... REVIEW LIKE A MAD MAN...EHM...OR MAD WOMAN!
