Rory: Do I look okay?

Lorelai: You look absolutely beautiful.

I was waiting for Jess to come and pick me up so we could go out to dinner. My mom and I went dress shopping that afternoon and we picked out a strapless simple black dress (Mom said she didn't want him getting any ideas). My hair was down and curled around my face and my makeup was simple but I wore some red lipstick on my lips.

Rory: I'm so nervous.

Lorelai: Don't worry you look so pretty. And if the date goes bad, just call me.

Rory: What? Why would you say that?

Lorelai: (looks to her side) No reason.

Rory: Mom, Jess is wonderful. He makes me happy.

Lorelai: I know. It just seems like something's not right.

Rory: Everything is fine.

Everything wasn't fine. How could I tell my mother that I could tell anyone else that I love Jess but him? Tonight was the night I planned on doings so, but it probably wouldn't happen. Just at that moment, the doorbell rang.

Rory: He's here!

Lorelai: duh, I heard the doorbell ring.

I walked towards the door and opened it. Jess stood there with his hands in his pockets, wearing a suit. That's right, a suit. His hair was also gelled back, a way I had never seen it before. He looked so incredible.

Rory: Hey.

Jess: (smiles) Hey. You ready.

Rory: Sure am. Let me just grab my purse. (runs to grab her purse) Bye Mom!

Lorelai: Bye Rory! Be back at 10!

Rory: Mom.

Lorelai: Fine. Be back at 12.

Rory: (Kisses Lorelai on the cheek) Thank you! I love you.

As we walked outside Jess grabbed my hand very gently. I couldn't believe it. I actually had those mind blowing butterflies. Jess then ran his thumb over my hand and I looked up and smiled at him.

Jess: You look beautiful tonight Rory.

Rory: You don't look bad yourself, Mr.Mariano.

Jess: Only for you Gilmore, only for you.

Rory: Where are we going? And why are we walking?

Jess: (looks at her with one eye) you'll see. You should also know that you can walk to everything in this town.

Rory: (nods) I did know that.

Jess: I figured you might.

(Jess stops in the middle of the street and Rory looks at him oddly. He then takes her in his arms and kisses her very slowly and gently. He then pulls back and rests her forehead against hers.)

Rory: (whispers) what was that for?

Jess: For just being you.

Rory: I like being me then.

Jess: (chuckles) come on.

Jess then took my hand and stopped in front of Luke's. We stepped inside and the whole place was decorated with candles and a table for two was set up in the middle of the diner. It was a repeat of the night in my dorm, which my mom walked in on.

Rory: Oh Jess. This is amazing. But how did you get there to be no one else in here?

Jess: You'll see. Luke needed convincing though.

Rory: Why because you are using his diner?

Jess: No that's not it

Just then I saw Luke emerge from the back dressed in a waiter's uniform. I had to choke back my laughter because it was hilarious.

Rory: You look so handsome Luke.

Luke: Yeah, yeah. Let's go sit at your table.

Jess: (clears his throat)

Luke: Welcome to Luke's diner. I will show you to your seat.

Rory: (catches Jess' eye and they both start laughing)

Luke: (turns around) that's it! I'm done. Goodnight! (Marches upstairs)

Jess: (pulls Rory's chair out for her) Sorry, I couldn't help it.

Rory: Me either.

Jess: So, on our menu this evening we have some wonderful burgers with a side of fries and coffee.

Rory: Yum sounds delicious.

Jess: That's good to hear. Let me go get it.

My hands were sweating and I was so nervous. How was I going to tell him?
