A/N Sorry for the long wait, I've been real busy with school. My best
friends b-day was last weekend so I spent fri/sat there. And I worked the
rest of the weekend, and I slept through the snow yesterday so I was unable
to continue but here I am trying my best.
*The door to Luke's bathroom swings open. A cloud of steam emerges along with Rory dressed in a t-shirt and jeans; her hair is pulled back in a wet ponytail.
Jess smirks from the counter where he is making pop tarts.
"Better now?" He asks.
Rory nods.
"It's not like your mom doesn't know you're here you know?" Jess says.
Rory rubs her bare feet together, "I know, I just don't like showering after noon."
Jess laughs, hopping off the counter, "Whatever, hungry?" Jess asks approaching Rory.
"Mmm hmmm." Rory replies, wrapping her arms around Jess' waist. "What do you have? Eggs? Bacon? Sausage."
Jess cuts her off with a kiss, "I think you're mistaking me for Luke."
Rory shakes her head; burying her face in Jess' shirt, "Don't even suggest that, I'll get mental pictures."
"Ew."
'What? I'm a very visual person."
"Uh huh, well all we have up here is raisin bran an pop tarts."
"What kind of pop tarts?"
"Smores."
"Luke bought smores pop tarts, has he been in contact with body snatchers recently?" Rory replies with a smile.
"I smuggled them in.......just in case we had visitors." Jess smirks.
"You're always so prepared." Rory says in a mockingly feminine voice.
Jess ushers Rory over to the counter.
*5 minutes later
Rory is laughing through bites of pop tart.
"Don't choke." Jess says calmly.
Rory wipes her mouth with the back of her hand, "Yeah I don't think my mom would appreciate that, and she'd probably blame you for my death."
"This is true, speaking of which how is it that it's 9am and your mother hasn't knocked down the door to the diner yet?"
Rory grins, "She stayed at her new boyfriend's place last night."
Jess raises an eyebrow, "New boyfriend? How far away does he live?"
"Yeah, John I think......I think he lives in Hartford."
"If you don't know then it's obviously not serious." Jess says snidely.
"No, I think it is, I haven't seen my mom for more than 4 hours at a time the last 3 weekends."
"Huh."
"And she's always smiling....."
"Yeah well love does that to people." Jess says with a smile.
Rory giggles, "I'm just glad that she's happy."
"Huh. Me too.........leaves me more time with you.......alone."
Rory blushes, 'She's staying home tonight."
"Maybe I could persuade her to do otherwise."
Rory grins, "Maybe.......but I doubt it."
*Somewhere else:
"Ohh God, this is, its heaven." Lorelai moans.
"Shut up and eat."
Luke says gruffly.
"You know it feels just like the diner, except you never wear your boxers at the diner.......you know I think it'd be a good career move if you started to, I mean it's make you a lot more tips, of course Patty would be groping you all day long.......but I guess that's the price you pay for having a nice as----"
Luke cuts Lorelai off with a kiss.
"Then again, maybe your boxers should be something that's reserved for me and me alone."
"Sounds good to me." Luke grins.
Lorelai smiles, "So when do have to get back?"
"I figure I'll take a shower here, get dressed and then go in an hour."
Lorelai nods.
"Do you, uh...." Luke rubs the back of his neck.
"What?"
"Do you think that'll give them enough time to uh, clean up."
Lorelai laughs out loud, "They're probably up there watching cartoons, you have nothing to worry about.........specially since Rory's scared out of her mind that you or I am going to walk in on them."
Luke gives Lorelai and uncertain glance, "Should we, do you think it's right for us to be consenting to this?"
Lorelai rolls her eyes, "We're not consenting to anything, we're just letting them have their space."
"Ooh right."
Lorelai stands up placing her plate n the sink, "But to be fair, they're not doing anything that either of us weren't doing at their age."
Luke blushes, "Right."
"Besides, and realize that it kills me to have to say this but I'm going to..........they're in love, really in love."
"Yeah." Luke smiles.
Lorelai leans against the counter, looking down at her shoes she says, "And not that stupid teenage crap either."
"I know."
"It scares me."
Luke nods.
"I mean, they're so young......"
"Yeah, but doesn't that make them lucky?" Luke asks, moving closer to Lorelai.
Lorelai smiles, "I guess so I mean what they have, God I'm not even sure that I've ever had that........"
Luke nods, Rest his chin on Lorelai's shoulder as she wraps her arms around his back.
"...............before you."
"Me neither." Luke whispers in her ear.
"We're so stupid."
Luke laughs into Lorelai's hair.
"Why did it take us this long?"
"I don't know. I'm just glad we made it here."
"Yeah." Lorelai replies, holding her head back.
"So, when are we going to tell them?"
Lorelai groans, "Do we have to?"
"Don't you think they deserve to know?"
"Chuh." Lorelai retorts, "They are in your apartment right now having premarital sex, they don't deserve to know anything."
Luke laughs, "What happened to them being in love and not doing anything we weren't."
Lorelai looks at Luke grumpily, "It's just going to be so hard...........Rory thinks I'm dating somebody else?"
"Who?!"
"John."
"John?"
"I haven't given him a last name yet, but I was thinking Cusack." Lorelai grins.
Luke shakes his head at her, "You're hopeless."
Lorelai smacks his arm, "What about you, what did you tell Mr. California."
"Nothing."
"Nothing?! And that's ok?"
"Uh yeah, see it's not like you and Rory we don't have the need to tell each other anything, we barely talk and its fine."
"Men suck, why is it ok for them not to have actual conversations but me, I have to lie to my daughter."
"No body told you to lie, you're the one who made that decision."
"Shut up."
"Alright, I'm showering and then I'm gone.........but I wouldn't expect there to be coffee waiting for you at the diner." Luke grins before heading for the stairs.
"Mean."
*2 minutes later: Lorelai busts into the bathroom.
"Damnit!" Luke barks.
"Don't be shy." Lorelai teases Luke who is still dressed in his boxers.
Luke smiles, "What?"
"How about we tell them on Thursday?"
"Why Thursday?"
"Hello Thanksgiving."
"Oh right."
"So what do you think?"
"Does this mean we're also going to tell your parents on Thursday?" Luke asks snidely.
Lorelai scoffs "Are you joking, of course not, mom will have a coronary right there on the table, in between the mashed potatoes and the stuffing."
Luke groans, "Fine, but don't complain when you start losing sleep over this, oh and I will no longer be excepting late night visitors when they have bad dreams."
Lorelai makes a defeated noise, "Fine, we'll tell everyone on Thursday, it'll be our own little coming out party."
Luke rolls his eyes, "Can I shower now?" He asks kissing Lorelai shoulder.
Lorelai nods, "I'll wait for you downstairs."
".......or you could join me." Luke smirks.
"Dirty."
"That was the point."
Lorelai blushes.
Luke kisses her passionately.
*Luke's: Jess and Rory are downstairs getting the diner set up for a late opening.
"Luke's going to be so proud of us opening all by ourselves."
Jess smirks, "Unless someone happens to mention that we didn't open until ten and then he'll take me outside and kick my ass."
"Very true."
"Alright, I think we're ready go change the sign."
Rory sprints over to the door and flips the sign to open.
Jess places a coffee mug on the counter, "You get the first cup."
"I like opening the diner."
Jess laugh, "Me too." He leans in and kisses Rory softly on the lips.
"Alright enough of that, you're going to nauseate the customers." Luke barks as he enters the diner.
Jess pulls away from Rory with a smirk.
Rory looks down at her shoes.
"You were up early..........or was it late?" Jess says smugly.
"Shut up." Luke growls.
"Trouble in paradise?" Jess' smirk broadens.
"Jess you bett----
"Coffee, I'm dying I don't think I can make it to the counter." Lorelai's voice cuts Luke off.
Luke glares at her.
"Here." Jess pouts a mug out for Lorelai.
"Bless you." Lorelai says overacting.
Rory giggles.
"That's stuff is going to kill you."
"At least I'll die happy, Lucas." Lorelai retorts.
"That's it out."
"What? Why?"
"For being a smart ass.........."
Rory eyes her mother and Luke longingly.
Jess leans over the counter, "They'll figure it out." He whispers in her ear.
"I hope so......." Rory replies.
"They will." Jess mutters.
A/N bad ending? Yes but it's 6pm and I have to go watch two guys and a girl b/c it's the best canceled show ever, after freaks and geeks and felicity, the last of which is my recently discovered obsession. Hey did I mention my cable provider now gets women's entertainment fun stuff not that whiny sappy "my teenage daughter has 3 kids but I still love her even though I'm married to her brother who's really a woman." Crud that's on lifetime. Anyway I'm off track please read and review I'm excited to hear your thoughts. G'night.
