PART 9
Lorelai woke up early in the morning to find Jess sleeping peacefully next to her. She looked at him, watched his chest go up and down, listened to his breathing, she smiled and placed a soft kiss on his cheek. She went to the bathroom and got dressed, wishing she could stay, but she couldn't, Luke will be here in about 30 minutes, she had to leave.
In her bed, she thought of him, of all the sweet things she discovered in him in the past two months. She smiled, remembering how he reads to her every time they spent the night together, how he has a thing for her stomach and has to touch it all the time. She was having a secret affair with a 26 year old, it was crazy on so many levels but she was happy, she couldn't imagine going a day without at least seeing him. And then while thinking of him she suddenly had this idea, a great idea she thought. She got up, changed her cloths and went to Luke's for breakfast.
She always came to the diner just when Jess was there, before he went to the store. They never talked in the morning, only exchanged smiles and glances when no one looked.
It was her favorite fart of the day, when she had to steal a glimpse or blush when he smiled to himself knowing he was thinking of something she did the day before, the second one was their first kiss of the day, which was usually in the evening, sometimes around noon when she couldn't wait and stop by the store to get a book for Rory.
Secret or not, there were times when she wanted to shout to the world 'I'm with Jess'
In the evening she walked into Rory and Luke's to find them sitting on the couch kissing like two teenagers, like always "oh, jeez... don't you ever stop with that..."
"With what?" Rory asked biting her lower lip and smiling at Luke
"With the kissing... you guys act like 2 teenagers in love"
"Well, we are in love you know..."
"Whatever"
"Jealous?" Rory asked smiling
"No..." she said sitting down
"Oh, that's right you have a secret lover hidden somewhere, don't you think you went too far with it... when are you going to tell us? we're dying to know..." said her daughter
"I'm not ready to say yet... so listen, I was thinking today and I must've been on drugs or something but I have this idea I wanna run by you guys..."
"If this is about the baby's music she will not listen to Steven Tyler or pulp fiction soundtrack... we've been through this Lorelai..."
"very insulting... you should be thankful that he's still alive and singing while your daughter comes to life... one day when she's older and I let her listen to Aerosmith she will hate you for not letting her enjoy him when he could still sing..."
"She does have a point Luke..." Rory said smiling at him
"I don't care..."
"Fine, but when she hates you, don't come to me for help... I'm gonna be a cool grandma who does anything she asks me too..."
"Fine... how did we even get to this...?" he asked exhausted
"oh... my idea... listen, I was thinking about clearing a room or maybe build one for a library, you know so that when the guests want to relax in the evening they will have a nice place to go to and some one to guide them..."
"Someone...?" Rory asked
"Someone... like Jess..."
"Oh my god... you are on drugs..." Luke said in shock
"I'm serious... I mean you said I'm not trying... so I'm trying..."
"That's very nice of you Lorelai, but I don't think he'd go for it... he's not a big fan of you..."
"I know but its extra money and that's always good... and its not even all week, just a few days..."
"Well he's on his way so you can ask him"
"He's on his way here?" she asked like she didn't know
"Yeah... so you want some coffee?" he offered
"Always..." he went to the kitchen and Jess knocked on the door
"Come in" Rory called and he did
"Hey... did you get the book I sent you?" he asked sitting down
"What book?"
"Ask your responsible mother..." he pointed to Lorelai
"I just got here..."
"Whatever"
"Hey Jess" Luke said handing Lorelai the coffee "beer?" he asked him
"Sure"
"So, how's everything?" he asked Rory
"Good... mom where's the book?"
"Here some where let me look"
"Jeez... you know you're paying for it if you lost it..."
"Shut up..."
"Just find the book"
"Don't tell me what to do..."
"It's my book"
"It's the store's book..."
"And I run the store"
"Punk..."
"Irresponsible freak..."
"Don't talk to me that way... I'm not one of you're friends..."
"How lucky am I..."
"Here's your precious book, punk..." she said throwing it in his direction
"Thank you..."
"Don't you ever get tired...?" Rory asked when the were finely silent
"She started it..." he said sipping the beer Luke brought
"What are you 6 years old...?" Lorelai mocked
"At least I'm older then you... you act like a 2 year old..."
"Shut up..."
"Rory, I think I'm gonna go, I'm tired..."
"No, wait... mom has some idea she wants to run by you"
"Forget it Rory, I changed my mind..."
"Come on mom... don't do this..."
"What idea... I'm not cleaning any gutters..."
"No Jess, mom wants to open a small library at the inn..."
"She does..." he asked looking at Lorelai who tried as hard as she could not to smile
"Yes I do" she answered "are you interested? Its just a few days a week"
"I don't know... I'll think about it"
"Fair enough..."
"Did I miss any battles?" Luke asked coming out of the shower
"I don't know how they do it... I'm tired just watching this"
"I know what you mean" he sat next to her and their fingers were immediately entwined as he kissed her
"Get a room" Lorelai said getting up
"Going to see that secret lover of yours?" Luke asked and Rory giggled
"Hey you're my daughter... don't laugh at me"
"So are you?" Rory asked
"I think so, yes"
"I'm outta here, tell me what you think about the book ok"
"Sure Jess, good night"
"Night" and he left
"So what did he say about the inn thing?"
"He'll think about it"
"That's good"
"Yeah, so good night guys"
"Say hi to your lover..."
"I will..." she said and closed the door
She parked her car and walked into her house. She went to the kitchen and opened the back door "hey, sorry you had to wait"
"That's ok" he said as he closed the door and grabbed her
"Missed me, ha..."
"No"
"Liar"
He kissed her then, hard and passionate
"No need to be so aggressive" she said when they pulled back for air
"Lets go upstairs, you're wearing too many cloths"
"You're right" she said and he followed her upstairs
In her bed, he undressed her and she sat on him with her legs on the sides of his body wearing just her panties and her bra, they kissed as he traveled his fingers on her back and her sides up and down sending shivers up her spine "god I missed you today" he said pulling back
"You sure know how to show it" she smiled and kissed him
"A library ha...?" he asked
"Yeah, you like...?"
"I don't know, is there a secret agenda here?"
"Of course there is, my office gets lonely in the evenings"
"So I like it"
"Good, now kiss me" he did and just when she was taking his shirt off they heard a knock on the door "oh shit... who could that be... shit, shit, where the hell is my robe?" she jumped off of him and panicked
"Relax, here it is" he pointed to it
"How can I relax, who could it be?"
"Relax, I'll stay here, you just get rid of who ever it is"
"Ok, but no looking out the window"
"I'll just sit here like a good boy, and you... try to relax..."
"Ok, stay here" she kissed him and headed down stairs to see who it is
She opened the door to find Sookie standing there "Sookie, hey..." Lorelai said trying to relax
"Hey honey, were you busy?"
"Ahh, kinda... what's up?"
"Is he here?" Sookie asked smiling
"Who?"
"You know who, that someone you've been seeing lately"
"Yes"
"Ohh, that's so good, I have to see him where is he?" Sookie asked and pushed her way in
"Sookie... honey, you can't see him"
"Why not, you said he was here, I'm here, so what's the problem?"
"didn't I say that when I'm ready to tell I will, why are you all pushing this... and besides, I cant tell you, you're my best friend and I love you honey, but you cant keep a secret and I've worked really hard to keep this a secret..."
"I won't tell anyone, I promise... please tell me..."
"I can't Sookie, when its time to tell, I will and after Rory you'll be the first t know"
"Is it Christopher? Are you trying again? Oh, honey... haven't you learned that he's never going to change..."
"It's not Christopher... I hardly ever talk to him, he talks to Rory not me..."
"So who is it, I'm dying to know..."
"Why did you come here anyway?" Lorelai asked changing the subject
"Wanted to tell you that I won't be in tomorrow..."
"And you couldn't call?"
"I hoped he would be here"
"Ok Sookie you have to leave, please"
"Fine... don't tell... I mean how bad can it be that you're so afraid... it's not like its some kid you're embarrassed to be seen with... oh my god, Lorelai... you're dating a kid?"
"Sookie, out now"
"You're seeing a kid? How old? Is he from stars hollow? Do I know him?"
"Ok, you have to leave because I'm not answering any of those questions"
"A kid... god I wish I wasn't married sometimes... you're probably having the best sex of your life..."
"Sookie! Out, now!"
"Fine... have fun tonight" she said with a wink and closed the door
Lorelai went back to her room to find Jess asleep, she smiled to herself and took her robe off as she did her way to the bed. She sat down next to him and looked at him and caressed his arm gently, trying not to wake him. She lay next to him, on her side, facing him, thinking about what Sookie said. Jess opened his eyes when he felt Lorelai's warmth on his cheek "hey" he smiled "hi" she replayed and kissed him softly
"Who was at the door?"
"Sookie"
"Oh"
"You look tired, close your eyes"
"Come closer" he asked and she snuggled closer "Lorelai?" he whispered after a few moments but she didn't answer "are you asleep?" he tried again and realized that she is "I think I'm in love with you" he then whispered and closed his eyes.
Next comes little Jane.
Miss-Lionesse, I read your suggestions and I'll see what's to be done.
