Swinging open the door to Lukes, I glanced around and found my mom sitting at a table by the window. She looked peaceful and content. The wisps of her hair were framing her face and her hair was swept back. My mother was so beautiful. To think that she was mad at me just the day before, was hard to believe. It's amazing how we can put something behind us so quickly.

Turning my head in the other direction, I saw Luke talking on the phone with Jess out of sight. I wondered if he had told Luke about us yet. If he hadn't I knew that we had to tell him. Luke was too much like a father figure to me, I didn't want to keep anything from him.

I sat down across from my mom and she glanced up and smiled at me.

Lorelai: I was wondering when you were going to get here.

Rory: I wasn't even late.

Lorelai: I know I was here early, making me feel like you are late.

Rory: (laughs) But I'm not.

Lorelai: So what are you going to order?

Rory: I was sort of in the mood for Chinese.

Lorelai: You think Luke makes Chinese?

Rory: I don't think so.

Lorelai: But I was in the mood for Chinese.

Rory: Me too. We could get burgers.

Lorelai: We always have burgers.

Rory: Yeah. Salad?

Lorelai: Since when do we eat anything green?

Rory: True. So what are we going to eat?

Lorelai: I'll take care of it.

Rory: How?

Lorelai: You'll see.

Luke: (walks over) What can I getcha?

Lorelai: Well lets see, we'll both have some eggrolls, chicken fried rice, and some fortune cookies.

Luke: What? This is not a Chinese restaurant. Are you on something?

Lorelai: Can you get some for us? We want to eat here.

Luke: (sighs) Whatever. I don't care. Rot your body away.

Lorelai: Thanks Luke!

Rory: That was too cruel.

Lorelai: But so worth it.

Rory: Yeah. Eggrolls. Mmm.

Just as I was thinking about my overwhelming hunger, I heard Jess come bounding down the stairs. I turned around and saw he was wearing a skin tight black shirt and loose fitting jeans with a book stuck in his back pocket. He turned my way and winked at me, and I smiled back. It felt like we were stuck in some sort of time bubble right then, where no one could figure out what we were thinking. It felt very special that I just wanted to lock it up in a box and keep it in my heart. The way I felt about him was indescribable and was killing me that I could not express my feelings-

Lorelai: Daydreaming about Jess?

Rory: Huh? No, I was just thinking.

Lorelai: About what?

Rory: Uh..about how to tell Luke? Jess won't even come around me in here.

Lorelai: He just needs a little encouragement. (Snaps her fingers)

Rory: What are you doing?

Lorelai: Encouraging.

Jess: ( walks over ) What can I get you Miss Gilmore?

Lorelai: I want you to kiss Rory.

Jess: (seems caught off guard) What?

Lorelai: You want to tell the world? Kiss her. Right now.

Jess: Why?

Lorelai: (rolls her eyes) Now is your chance. No talking involved.

That was the moment when all the breath in my body escaped and the world turned upside down. Jess came over to me and kissed me so sweetly on the lips anyone who had seen it would have described as romantic. He smelled of shaving cream and newly cleaned clothes. The aroma was intoxicating. The kiss only lasted for a minute, but I felt all eyes on us. Luke had just walked in from getting our food as was shocked. Miss Patty had her cell phone in her hand and was dialing. Jess and I just laughed, our biggest fear was past us. We didn't have to hide, or so we thought.

Luke: (walks over to Lorelai) Did you know about this?

Lorelai: I found out yesterday. The kiss was my idea. The look on your face was priceless.

Luke: Oh yeah, hilarious. I would like to see the look on your face when this food is kept far away from you. (Takes the food away)

Lorelai: (screams) Chinese food!! Come back to mommy!!
