Disclaimer: A.S.P owns all the characters I'm using for this fiction.
A.N: the chapters so far take place only a few weeks after the wedding, Jane in not here yet, there are still 3 or four months for that.
Sorry its slow but I'm trying to built their relationship.
Don't worry about grandma Lorelai, she'll have a lot of quality time with Jane.
Didn't get any comments about the scene in the bathroom' so I'm postponing it for a while.
As soon as Lorelai realize she wants to be with Jess, it'll move faster.
PART 6
Lorelai didn't go to Luke's for 3 days, she couldn't face Jess, she only talked to Rory on the phone and tried to avoid going there.
On the forth day she couldn't do it anymore, she had to see him, find out why he left her the way he did, why he humiliated her, she walked into the book store but no one was there
"Anybody here?" she asked and heard laughing, jess came out the back adjusting his shirt and Susie came right after him shit she said to herself
"Can I help you?" he asked
"Amm..." she didn't know what to say, and to run away would be too weird
"I'm gonna go" Susie said kissing him
"Later" he said
"Yeah..." she answered and left
"You want something?"
"No... I think I'm gonna go"
He took a few books and went to put them in their place without a ward, she just stood there looking for wards and when he came back he asked "still here?"
"Why did you leave?"
"I don't want to talk about it..."
"Yeah... ok... bye..." she said confused and turned to leave
"What's it gonna take?"
"Ha?" she asked turning back to look at him
"What's it gonna take for you to believe that I'm not who you think I am..."
"You try very hard to show me that you are..." she looked vulnerable
"How is that?"
"You push... and... and you annoy... and you bug me till you get me in bed and then you leave..."
"You know why I left..." he said angry
"Yeah... because you got what you wanted..."
"You are unbelievable..."
"I'm unbelievable... you humiliated me..."
"You acted like it meant nothing to you..."
"How did I do that...?"
"What was that about Rory ha...?"
"It was only a question... I think I deserve to know..."
"Jeez..."
"Do you?"
"Do I what?"
"Do you still love her?"
"No... and don't give me that look... I wanted to be with you... you think I would sleep with you just to say hey I slept with an older woman..."
"That's what it said when you left... and I'm not even talking about that girlfriend of yours..."
"You're the one to talk... you're married..."
"Maybe it was a mistake coming here..." this is so humiliating she thought
"Yeah maybe..."
She turned to leave and he stopped her "I wanted to stay..."
"Then why didn't you?" she asked with her back to him, looking down
"It hurt... what you said, I felt like shit..."
"I just asked if you have feelings for her..."
"You thought I wanted to mess up her marriage..."
"I didn't mean it like that..." still she didn't turn
"Yeah you did... just like I messed her relationship with dean... it was a long time ago Lorelai... can't you let that go... I'm not the same person..."
"You keep saying that..."
"I'm not... I want you..."
She didn't answer
"I do... cant you see... the other night was really something..."
She turned to look at him
"I know it's crazy... we can still hate each other but I want to be with you..."
"I don't hate you... I think you're a punk but I don't hate you..."
"I'll let you call me a punk..."
"Sounds good..." she smiled
"Can I take you out to dinner tonight... I know the perfect place..."
"The perfect place ha..."
"Yes"
"Ok"
"It's in Litchfield ... there's this place, not far from the gas station..."
"I know it..."
"Meet you there at 7?"
"Ok"
"Can you come with me for a second? I wanna show you something..." he took her hand and she followed him to the back behind the books, he pinned her to the wall and kissed her, she lifted her leg to his thigh and pulled him close to her, his tongue slipped in and he sent his hand to her breasts, they stood there for a while kissing, pulling back only for air once in a while, enjoying the feel of their bodies so close
She pulled back and he smiled "you do that so well" she said kissing him again
"You're not so bad your self..." he replied
"Thanks... punk"
"So I'll see you tonight?"
"No death t-shirts..." she warned him
"Like mother like daughter..."
"Be nice..." Lorelai said pointing a finger at him
"It's a little hard..." he smiled at that
"Dirty..."
"Yeah, yeah... whatever..."
"Bye now..."
"Bye..."
She walked into the diner during lunch time, aside from 3 people no one was there
"The usual?" he asked cleaning the table she sat at
"Yeah..." she smiled
"What's with that smile...? I haven't seen it in a while..."
"Well you see it now..."
"Good..." he said and went to make her lunch
Jess walked in just as Luke came out of the kitchen with her food
"Hey" he said to Luke and didn't look at Lorelai
"Hey... you wanna eat?"
"Yeah... make me a burger or something" he said sitting at the counter
Lorelai started eating, her mind was busy reminding her how good Jess's hands felt on her body, she smiled imagining him kissing her
"Lorelai" Luke called and she woke up from her daydreaming
"Ha?"
"Boy... where were you?"
"Dreamland?" she asked smiling at him
"I'd say... so any pie today?"
"No..."
"Ok"
"Hey Luke... I need my gutters cleaned..."
"Oh... I don't think I have time... maybe Jess could do it..."
"Don't even go there..." Jess said not turning to look at them
"Come on... she pays good..."
"Don't care..."
"You two are something... grow up both of you... I'm sick of it..."
"So go throw up..." Jess said
"What?" Luke asked, no idea what he was talking about
"You said you're sick... go throw up..."
"Very funny..." Luke said and went back to the kitchen
"I thought it was funny" she said when Luke disappeared into the kitchen
"Couldn't care less what you think..." he said still with his back to her
"I bet..." she smiled
"Luke..." she called
"What?" he came out of the kitchen
"Your nephew is rude..."
"Maybe you deserve it..."
"Sure take his side... you all take his side... it's always my fault that we don't get along..."
"It kinda is..." Jess said
"Shut up..." she exclaimed
"Glad to" he answered getting up "I'm outta here..."
"Good, maybe I can eat now..."
"Then again maybe I'd stay..."
"Go Jess... I'm too tired to deal with you two..."
"Fine... enjoy your lunch..." he said walking out
"I will now..." she yelled after him
"When is it gonna stop... what are you a baby?"
"I don't like him..."
"Fine..." he said dismissing her and she smiled to herself behind his back thinking this is so much fun, I like this game...
He sat at a booth close to the entrance, he looked at his watch, it showed 7:15 pm I can't believe she's doing this... I will never figure her out...
"Hey there" he heard her voice and looked up
"Lorelai"
"What's with the face...? I know I'm late..."
"Its ok..." he said as she sat in front of him
"So what's up?" she asked twirling her hair
"Fine, good, how was your day?"
"Quite a show we put on today..." she smiled
"What show?" he teased her
"Luke wanted to kick me out after that..."
"You know why I left?"
"Why is that?" she smiled and brushed his hand that was on the table
"I almost chocked, I had to get out..."
"It was funny... how you told him to go throw up..."
"Yeah... so you want a beer or something?"
"Beer is great... nice place you found for us..."
"Yeah I stopped here on the way to the wedding... it's nice..." he said signaling to the waiter
"Why did you stop, afraid to come back to nut city...?"
"Yeah... something like that"
"So you were worried about facing Rory after so long...?"
"Don't start..."
"Why are you getting like this every time I mention her?"
"What can I get you" the waiter said suddenly
"2 beers for now" jess said avoiding Lorelai's eyes and the waiter left
"So, what now?" she asked feeling the tension
"I don't know..."
"Don't be upset... I won't ask you about it again"
"Good" the waiter brought their drinks and after a long silent she said "so what, is this what I came here for?"
"It's your fault..."
"Come on Jess, everything was good till I mentioned Rory, I wont talk about her, cant you just let it go... I'm sorry"
"Fine"
"Yeah fine... maybe this wasn't such a good idea..."
"Maybe..."
She thought for a moment and moved to sit next to him
"What are..." he tried but she kissed him forcefully before he could finish the question
"Hey" she said when she broke from his lips
"Hey"
"Can we start over?"
"you'll have to try harder..." he said and she leaned in to kiss him again, slowly this time, her tongue brushing his lower lip, he welcomed her in and sent his hand to her thigh and under her skirt, she felt the heat taking over her body making her moan in his mouth, he pulled back for air and said "I'm sorry"
"So, are we good?"
"I don't love her..."
"Good to know..."
"And even if I did... I would never mess this up for her, she's very happy..."
"I know she's happy..."
"What about you? Do you still love Luke?"
"No" she answered and avoided his searching eyes
"Lorelai..."
"It's complicated..."
"Tell me about it..."
She told him everything about how Luke and Rory started and about how she was jealous, how Rory stepped a side for her
"That's why David and I are separated"
"Why didn't it work out with you and Luke?"
"Oh... he bought Jane Eyre..." she smiled
"What?"
"Yeah... the book..."
"I know Jane Eyre thank you very much..."
"When they were together apparently Rory told him how she felt he was her Rochester, so when she left he missed her and bought the book"
"Wow..."
"A big wow... he read it..."
"Wow... he's so dead for that one"
"No, no, no... you can't tell him... they'll know I told you and then they'll know something is up because how come I'm having conversations with you..."
"Yeah you're right..."
"Good boy..."
"Don't call me that..."
"Fine... so, as much as I'm good with the talking part I'm also very good with the eating part..."
"Fine..." he said calling the waiter
They ordered and she told him the rest of the story about Rory's pregnancy and Emily's reaction, they laughed a lot and after they finished eating he paid and they left
"So I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked pulling her close to him
"I don't know"
"I want to..." his hands slid to her behind and he caressed it gently
"I know you do..." she said traveling her hands along his arms
"So..." he kissed her softly
"I don't know..."
"Come on Lorelai..."
"Maybe you should come to Rory's tomorrow, I'll be there..."
"I don't want to be with you when Rory's there..."
"How are we supposed to do that...?"
"I could come clean your gutters..."
"Right, ok come tomorrow, I'll see you after work..."
"Ok"
"Oh... shit... I'm meeting David tomorrow..."
"What?" he pulled back from her
"Yeah..."
"You know what..." he said walking to his car "maybe you should find some one else to deal with the gutters..."
"Jess..."
He turned to look at her "look I want to be with you, but I can't when you're with him... I know it's probably too much to ask but I can't do this... so I'm sorry, I hope you'll be happy with him"
"Jess, wait..." she walked towards him "why are you doing this?"
"I'm sorry, Lor... I can't..."
"So what now?"
"Nothing... we can go back to hating each other... that worked well"
"I'm sorry Jess..."
"Its ok, I know it's hard to give everything up... I should've never assumed that you'd walk away from your husband for me... it's my fault... I gotta go..." he got into his car and drove away
"Shit..." she stood there, she couldn't move, she had fun tonight and didn't think it could end up so bad
She drove home, thinking of her little punk wishing there was an easy solution for this.
She has to make up her mind.
We all know what it'll be, after all it's the purpose of this fic.
Tell me what you think.
And thanks again for your help and reviews.
