Disclaimer: GILMORE GIRLS ARE NOT MINE ::sigh::
A/N: Hehe.. okay so you guys got really caught up on the fact that I didn't name her fiancé but honestly it doesn't really matter. I kind of wanted you guys to see them together for a few seconds before making your judgements. You know, without going oohhh he sucks because he's not Jess (or Dean or Tristan or whoever you guys like). The important part is if a scenario like that sounds Roryish.
Suddenly realizing that her new fiancé was beginning to notice her strange reaction, she tried her best to regain her composure. "No..um.. of course.. I mean, hi. How are you?" She attempted a smile, hoping that she recovered well.
Jess, who had now focused on the new addition to her hand, replied knowingly, "obviously not as good as you are." He then turned to Lorelai, "Lorelai, you look exactly the same. I'm happy to hear that you and Luke are finally together." Lorelai, still in shock from both his sudden appearance and his sudden ability to speak in long sentences, could only smile.
"So Jess how long are you back for?" Luke asked, somewhat oblivious to the uncomfortable girls near him.
"Well, I haven't really made any definite decisions just yet. Know where I can stay while I decide?"
"You know the way upstairs." Luke said with a smile.
"Well I think I'm just going to go, you know, unpack and stuff. You guys look like you were on your way somewhere anyway." Jess started walking to the stairs, trying his best to absolutely ignore the man that stood hovering over Rory.
Luke seemed to snap back into the present and turned to the girls. "Oh yeah we're going to be late we better go. See you when we get back Jess."
They all stood and began to turn to the door. Jess nodded in response and only once both girls and Luke were turned away did he allow himself a good look at the other guy. He was about four or five inches taller than Rory, and had an average build. He had blond hair that was short and styled. Every single hair appeared to be in place. He looked like the perfect all American boy. He hated him. The man turned back to Jess for a second on his way out and Jess simply put on his famous expression of absolute indifference.
After dinner Rory said that she wasn't feeling very good and wanted to go home. When Mike walked her to her door, he asked her the question he had been holding in all dinner. "Sooo... who's Jess?"
Rory fidgeted with her hair. "Um.. Jess ..is .. Jess. He's Luke's nephew." She didn't really know what else to say.
Looking at how nervous she was just talking about Jess, he frowned. "Yeah, I kind of got that part from Luke's excitement. Now tell me why you seem so upset about him being back."
"Look Mike, I don't have a problem with Jess. Jess is Jess. He's Luke's nephew and that is all. There is nothing else. End of story. Now please do not ruin this day. This day was a good day. We're engaged. I am happy. That food we just had, however, was not good and I don't feel good. Now please drop this."
Slightly taken aback from her somewhat explosive reaction, he decided to let it go. Maybe she really was just not feeling good. Maybe.
When Luke arrived home, Jess was sitting on his old bed reading. He looked just like he had in high school. "Hey, you hungry?"
Jess looked up at Luke, startled. "Oh hey. Um no I'm alright." He looked back at his book, but didn't start reading. Instead he casually asked the question he already knew the answer too. "So Rory's engaged?"
Luke sighed. He wasn't crazy over Rory's fiancé. Mike seemed as though he was the perfect man, the one every parent would want their child to be with. There was something missing though. Something between them just wasn't exactly right. "Yeah, actually it just happened today."
"Huh." Jess began reading again.
