Chapter 7: Roses
AT HOME
Lorelai sat at home. Was she honestly letting Rory go to a cabin with Dean and Jess? There was sure to be some broken bones by the end of the trip.
Lorelai looked over to the end table. 'A beautiful dozen roses for a beautiful girl' she thought.
When Lorelai got home from Luke's, Dean was sitting on the porch waiting for Rory. No matter how much she told him to wait inside, he always refused. The same way he refused to talk about why he was waiting there. Lorelai thought it was another disagreement so she left it alone. Then finally she looked out the window and he was gone, leaving behind the roses for Rory. Rory! Where was that girl?
THE BRIDGE
The kiss was intensifying. Jess moved his hand and placed it on her cheek.
'Why isn't she running away?' Jess thought. He wasn't complaining but… Just as he was thinking about that, Rory pulled away.
'Spoke to soon' he thought to himself again.
Rory leaned her head against Jess' forehead.
"Jess, we can't do this, I have a boyfriend, a wonderful boyfriend. And you have Shane… and why'd you do that?" she yelled.
Jess stared at the water.
"Well c'mon Jess, why'd you do it?"
"I didn't see you pulling away or stopping it?"
"It was all too sudden. I had no chance to react!"
"Oh you reacted all right!" Jess smirked.
"Shut up!"
"Well do you want me to run away to Washington now?"
"That was different, I had to be somewhere, so I left!"
"I'm sorry Rory, does Washington have no phones? Mailboxes? Computers?"
Why was he being so mean? Rory thought.
"Hey, I was confused and obviously it was just another kiss to you cause you wasted no time finding Shane!"
Rory was mad. What gave him the right to be so mad to her?
She stood up and walked away, leaving a very stupid feeling Jess.
AT DEAN'S
'Knock, knock, knock'
The door swung open and Dean stood there.
"Hey." he said quietly.
"Hey."
"I'm guessing you got the flowers."
"What flowers?"
"Oh so you haven't been home yet?"
"No, I was…walking around and then I came her cause… we need to talk."
"Listen Rory- you have no idea how sorry I am about your wrist and you know I would never intentionally hurt you, but I don't want to not be with you."
"What? Dean no…I was gonna ask if you wanted to come on vacation?"
"I seriously thought that's why you were here."
The two hugged and discussed the vacation- minus Jess going too- for now!
The next week went by fast. Everybody did what they normally did with who they normally did it with. Then finally- it was vacation time!
