Raining Recipes on My Coat Pt 2

Lorelai paced in front of Dean, who was seated at the kitchen table. She fidgeted with the unused condom she held in her hands, and sighed loudly.

"Lorelai-"

"Ah!" she cried. "No talking!"

He became deathly silent.

"Dean," Lorelai sighed. "Dean, Dean, Dean... married Dean..."

"We're not happy," he blurted out. "Lindsay doesn't make me happy."

"I don't care if Lindsay forces you to watch reruns of Summerland!" Lorelai yelled. "You came here, wedding ring still on, contraceptive in pocket, ready to defile my daughter!"

"Defile?!" Dean howled.

"Defile!" Lorelai went on. "Penetrate! Deflower! Have sex with!"

"What do you think Jess was here for?!" Dean accused.

Lorelai seethed. "Jess was ordered to come here with Rory! Luke made him!"

"Oh, please," Dean scoffed. "That's a cover-up if I ever heard one."

Lorelai shook her head. "Get out."

"I want to talk to Rory," Dean demanded.

"No!" she snapped. "You stay away from her. Divorce your wife, or work things out but don't you dare try and put Rory in the middle of it; don't you dare lay a finger on her!"

"You are so bad."

Jess shrugged. "Didn't wanna leave just yet."

He was standing outside her open window, watching Rory lean out to speak to him. From inside the house, he could hear Lorelai and Dean arguing at the top of their lungs.

"I should break them up," Rory said guiltily.

Jess gave another shrug. "He has it coming."

"Well... sort of..."

"Sort of?"

Rory sighed. "Confession time."

He stayed silent.

"Dean and I almost kissed earlier today."

Silence.

"Huh."

Rory grimaced. "I don't know why."

"You still have feelings for him?" Jess asked.

"I thought maybe I did," she admitted. "But I look at you and I know I don't..." she trailed off and looked into his eyes.

He nodded. "I should go."

"Are you mad?" Rory asked, looking slightly alarmed.

"No," he told her. "But the yelling stopped, which means she probably sent Dean on his merry way, and wants to talk to you."

Rory smirked. "And 'if my kinsmen see thee...'"

"Right," Jess chuckled softly. He started backing away from the window.

She pouted. "Kiss?"

He gave a heavy, mocking sigh. "If I must."

She crossed her arms indignantly. "Fine, if you really don't want to-"

She was cut off by his lips connecting with hers. She felt him begin to pull away, and followed his lips into another kiss, trying to draw him closer, though the window was turning out to be quite an obstacle.

"HEY!"

They broke apart abruptly and Rory whirled around, bright red. "Hi, Mom."

Lorelai glared. "Jess. Go."

He nodded, and began to back away, gave a small wave as Rory turned to watch him leave.

Lorelai made sure Jess was out of sight before storming over and closing the window. She turned and leaned against it, surveying her daughter. "Rory..."

The younger Gilmore sighed and knelt down to pick up the leather jacket from the floor.

"Rory... Jess?!"

Rory sighed. "I know it's weird, and... unexpected... I just... we talked... He talked to me, Mom. He opened up to me. He's never done that before."

"He left you," Lorelai countered. "He's a jerk."

Rory nodded and hugged the jacket to her. "I know... but he's changed."

Lorelai wrinkled her nose. "How do you know? You've barely spent an hour with him."

"I love him, and he loves me," Rory replied. "He does. He wouldn't be here if he didn't."

"I just don't want that punk hurting you again," Lorelai sighed. "I don't want history repeating itself on you. The guy is crazy."

"Jess is crazy?!" Rory cried. "Dean... married Dean showed up tonight looking for sex!"

"Did something happen between the two of you?" Lorelai asked.

Rory looked down. "Sort of," she muttered.

Lorelai blinked. "Sort of?"

"We almost kissed," Rory told her in a low tone.

Lorelai groaned. "Rory..."

"I know!" Rory cried looking up. "It was a mistake. I was... I don't know! But... seeing Jess...being with him again... I know now."

They stood in silence and Rory hugged the leather tighter.

"You really love him?"

Rory nodded.

"You guys... you didn't..." Lorelai trailed off, glancing at the bed.

"Just kissing," Rory told her.

"And if I hadn't shown up earlier tonight?"

Rory sighed. "It... may have turned into more than kissing."

"May have?"

"Probably would have," Rory corrected herself.

Lorelai gave a heavy sigh, and stuck her hand out abruptly.

Rory looked down at her mother's hand and blushed again. "Mom..."

"Take it."

"But... it's Dean's!" Rory cried. "I can't take Dean's condom! That's weird!"

"Do you have one on you?"

"...No..."

"Does Jess?"

"I don't know," Rory muttered.

"Take it."

"Can't I have one of yours?"

Lorelai groaned. "Fine! Just so long as you have one on you."

They stood in silence again.

"I didn't think this would be so awkward," Lorelai said. "I was so intending to be the cool mom about this."

"You're entitled to freak out."

"Good."

"Can I have that condom now, please?" Rory asked quietly.

"Wow, you really, really want to sleep with Jess," Lorelai laughed a little.

"Prophylactic, please."

"You want to love him good," Lorelai teased.

"Contraceptive, if you don't mind," Rory said, heading for the door.

Lorelai laughed a little as she followed her. "Hey, you should bring some Barry White with you."

"Oh, my god!" Rory cried, leaving the room.

Jess sighed as he walked back to the Dragonfly. He felt slightly exposed without his jacket, but he figured he'd get it back at some point, since he'd be seeing more of Rory.

In more ways than one.

He sighed. Since when did things go his way?

'Don't question it, you idiot,' he scolded himself mentally. 'Jeez, what's wrong with you?'

"Mariano!"

He rolled his eyes and kept walking.

"I'm talking to you, Jess!"

"I don't care, Dean," he replied as he kept walking.

"You're no good for her!" Dean yelled. "You're worthless! What does she even see in you?!"

Jess turned to look at him as he kept walking. "How the hell should I know?! At least I'm not married!"

Dean glared, turned and stormed off.

Jess smirked and turned to keep walking.

Tonight wasn't going as bad as he thought it would.

Not at all.
