Rory walked through the door of the dinner looking around for Lorelai, she was pretty nervous since last night after she left Jess and went to sleep, but sleep hadn't come at all, she just kept thinking about what happened, and it seemed like her stomach had been invaded with an entire army of butterflies. Was she happy? Yes! She was pretty happy even if there were gossips around town, she didn't care, and they all could go directly to hell for what she knew. But that didn't stop her for being nervous, today she was going to see Jess!
Trying to walk unnoticed she pointed Lorelai sitting by herself at the counter, already eating her breakfast, 'how could she!' she thought 'We were suppose to eat together, I told her!' but that didn't matter anymore. She kept walking and was almost approaching Lorelai when suddenly someone stopped in front of her, SOMEONE very special.
"Um Oh, Hi Jess!"
"Hello there, coffee?" he asked already serving and giving her a cup of one.
"Yes please… wow I didn't know the service was so efficient." Rory said with a gentle smile drinking a sip of her coffee.
"Well, when you saw a pretty lady walking through the door you really know what your priorities are." He said smirking at her pinky cheeks, he always knew what to say to make her blush, and she loved it! "And then I promised a cup of coffee would be waiting for you… am I not right?"
"Yes, you're right…" Rory said already lost in his eyes, who were smiling brightly at her. "And I'm glad that you…"
"Rory! Over here!" said a voice interrupting her. Rory looked around and saw that Lorelai was calling for her.
"Coming!" she said to her mom, and then she turned shyly at Jess and said to him. "Are you going to be around?"
"Yes, just give me a minute and I'll take your order." He said smiling lovingly at her, and inviting her to join Lorelai.
Rory nodded happily and with a small smile walk to her mom.
"Hey mom"
"Hey honey, what's up?" Lorelai asked looking suspiciously at her daughter.
"Nothing, just wondering why don't you wait for me? I told you I'll be right behind you." Rory said noticing her mother's empty plate.
"I know, I know I just thought you'll prefer someone else company." Lorelai said raising a brow.
"What do you mean?" Rory said confused "I always eat with you!"
"Yeah, well I talk about a certain guy with an idiotic smile plastered on his face." Lorelai said smirking at her daughter and pointing at Jess who was walking around taking someone order.
"Mom!" Rory complained embarrassed, how did she dare! " Be quiet!"
"Oh Oh, my daughter is turning goo gee goo gee!"
"Mom, stop it! That is not even a word!" Rory said looking around, people were looking at them with curiosity in their eyes.
"I know but it just sound like fun!" Lorelai said laughing at her only daughter.
"Mom!"
"Okay, okay…but just wondering… are you and Jess in good terms?"
"Why do you ask?" Rory said avoiding her mother's look.
"Oh my! You are!" Lorelai exclaimed with an accusatory finger. "When did it happen? Yesterday you were devasted and now you're all gloomy gloomy!"
"Mom, stop it! You're embarrassing me!"
"Okay, sorry, but how does it happen?" Lorelai asked looking directly at her, she had to know, she knew everything about her daughter!
Sighing Rory looked at her mother and begin to relate the previous night events. Lorelai made sounds like 'ohhh' and 'ahhh' and used expressions like 'I knew it!' she was quite a good expectator, and by the time Rory was finished, she looked at Rory with a serious expression and asked.
"So are you and Jess together?"
Rory thought about it for a second, but the true was that she didn't know, they hadn't had a chance to talk so everything was still a blur to her.
"I don't know…"
"You don't know? How can you not possible know? You do or you don't, that's it!"
"I know but we hadn't talked about it yet, I'm planning to do it though."
"Okay, but just be careful, and if he makes you happy I'll give him a chance, but if he ever dare to hurt you, I'll kick his miserable ass and I'll…"
"Okay, okay I get it…" said a voice behind them; Lorelai jumped from the surprise and quickly turn around to face a smirking Jess. Rory just wanted to die.
"Oh hey Jess!" Lorelai said standing up and getting her things. "Just talking with my precious daughter, hope you get the meaning but hey! Look at the time, I gotta go know, I hope I'll see you later at the Inn, remember big party! Bye hon!"
And with that she was gone.
Shit.
Thanks mom.
"Hey sorry it took me so long, are you ready to order?" Jess asked a bit confused by the scene that had just taken place.
"Hum, yes please…" Rory answered with her face as red as the face of a tomato, she was blushing so furiously!
"And it will be…" Jess said waiting for her to continue. He then noticed she was avoiding his gaze. "Are you okay?"
"Um Yes! I'd like a toast please…" Rory answered, her face brightening more If that was ever possible.
"Okay…" Jess said writing her order down, and looking again at her, he smiled. "Anything else?"
"No, that's okay, thanks." Rory said still avoiding his eyes. She was trying so hardly to keep her color under control, but she was just making things worse.
"O-okay…" he said giving Cesar her order. "Are you sure you're fine? Because if not you could always talk to me, you know you can trust me…" Jess said looking worriedly at her, he was waiting for her to look up, until he could see her eyes, and then he will know if something was wrong. And she did it, she looked up and found his eyes, and what he saw make him hold a breath; she was looking at him with, with...
"I'm sorry Jess, I don't mean to worry you, I know I can trust you, is just that I was wondering…"
"Yes?" he seemed eagerly for her to continue.
"Well, you… me… I mean…"
"Hey Jess!" said a pitchy voice, interrupting Rory.
Jess turned around annoyed at the one who interrupted his dearly Rory, her so valuable words.
"Go away!" He almost yell don't even paying attention at who he was being rude. "Go on Rory…"
"Hey! You don't have to be so mean!" a girlish voice said.
"Yeah! We were only trying to be nice!" said a second one.
Rory turned around and hold a growl; it was the powerpuff girls who were looking very pissed at her. She turned her gaze at Jess and saw that he was looking the same annoyed that she was.
Sighing, Jess said. "Okay, what's up? I thought I'll see you until Tuesday."
"Yes you will, we were only hanging around, would you take our order please?" Rebecca, the red hair one, said.
They were already sitting by the counter, just a stool bar away from Rory, who didn't like it a bit. Monica was the one sitting immediately at her, and then Rebecca and the blond one, Sara. Jess sighed and shoot them a death glare, and then looked at Rory and smiled warmly at her.
"Okay, what will it be?" he asked with his more boring tone.
"I'd like a bagel and a cup of coffee please" said Rebbeca, with a charming smile.
"Hmm, I think I'll have a salad sandwich and a coke, please" Sara said with a flirting look.
"And you?" Jess asked at the last one, writing what they order. Looking at her, he waited for her to speak.
"I… I…" Monica said extremely nervous, it was pretty obvious that she liked Jess.
"Yes?" Jess pressed beginning to lost his patient.
"I'd like a couple of toast and a coffee please." She finally answered rather sad.
"Okay" Jess said turning around and giving Cesar their orders. "I'll be back."
"Okay…" Monica answered a little expectantly at him. "Thanks…"
"Whatever"
Rory looked all of this, and suddenly she was sad, that girl Monica looked like she kindda liked Jess, but Jess wasn't very nice at her. If she were in the girl position she knew she would be pretty sad, and suddenly she was glad she wasn't that girl.
"Hey, I'm back and here's your order" Jess said putting a plate of toast in front of her.
"Oh thanks…" Rory said smiling at him. "I was beginning to wonder what have happened to it."
"What I wonder is what will happen to it, now that this poor toasts are in front of you." Jess said mocking her and resting his elbows on the counter, his face just a few inches a part from Rory' face.
"Huh, well I think they're going to have a happy ending inside my stomach." Rory said grinning stupidly at him and looking intensely at his smiling eyes. She could feel her face burn with heat.
"I bet they will…" His face was getting closer and closer to Rory's, he was looking intensely at her softy pink lips, he was going to touch them! He was…!
But then he wasn't.
"Hey Jess!" a voice said making Rory turned her head.
'Why did I turn! They weren't even talking to me! Damn!' Rory couldn't stop blaming herself. 'We were going to kiss!'
"What?" Jess said with a bitter tone. Damn them for interrupting them!
"Are our orders going to be ready anytime soon?" asked Rebecca with her most girly and flirty tone.
"I'll go check" said Jess tiredly walking away from them.
"So… Rory right?" asked Rebecca glancing her with despite.
"Yes." Rory answered shortly, with the same tone the girl used. She continued drinking her coffee.
"Aren't you Dean's girlfriend?" Monica suddenly appeared to recover her voice.
Rory looked at her, surprise to hear her talk and more surprised to see the way the girl was eyeing her.
"Not anymore." She answered looking at the spot Jess had just leave moments before. Noticing that a book was resting on the stool she took it. It was the book she had bought for him!
Smiling she opened it and with happiness she saw that he had already begun to write on the margins. In the first page it could be seen.
Rory gave me this book. Let's see what she wanted to tell me.
She smiled to herself; there were quite a lot of things she wanted to tell him! But it seemed like everyone was against her, and didn't let her express what she felt.
"Is that Jess' book?" Rebecca asked with interest invading Rory's thoughts. Rory looked at her and then looked around for Jess. She saw him taking Kirk's order, he seemed like he was about to explode. Looking up he located Rory and shoot her a smile of complicity, she smiled back and then turn back to Rebecca.
"Yes it is…" she said, surprisingly smiling a little smile of satisfaction.
"Can we see it?" Sara asked not at all comfortable with Rory after the comment she had made about her head the day before.
"Hmmm, I don't think so." Answered her Rory, returning the book to where she found it.
"Why not? It's not like it is your book!" Monica replied bitingly. Turning her full attention to Rory, who just kept on smiling.
"I know, but Jess is very protecting over his things. And I'm sure he won't like you to touch his book."
"And if you're so sure about it, why were you looking at it!" Sara pointed out with an accusatory finger. The three girls looked like if they had caught her with something bad in her hands. "We'll see…"
Monica and Rebecca looked also very determinate.
Rory couldn't stop herself, and she let out the laugh that had been trying to hold.
That only increased the puff's anger.
"Yah Yah, whatever." Rory answered leading her attention to Jess who returned with the girl's orders.
"Here you go" Jess said resting the food on the counter. "Anything else?"
"Actually there is," Sara said eyeing Rory with dislike. "This… thing beside us was touching your things, and it seemed like she was very interested on reading what is write down there."
Jess just kept on staring at them with an expressionless face. The girls began to feel nervous.
"Don't you care? We know for a fact that you don't like anyone touching your things." Monica said waiting for an answer.
"You know what?" Jess said annoyed by their gossiped. He looked pretty angry. "It's not of your business, so back off!"
The three girls looked shocked. "You don't ever dare to talk like that to us! Remember that you are with us on the English project so respect us!" Rebecca said getting pretty upset.
"I don't care, I'm only doing it because Rory asked me to, and I'm only going to do it for her, so don't expect me to be all chatty chatty with you, when you don't have to do anything with it!"
"Jess calm down!" Rory said trying to calm him down, Luke could come and see if there was any problem, and she didn't want a show. "It doesn't matter…"
"No Rory, it does matter, how do they dare to talk to you like that? That dumb head idiots!"
Monica, Sara and Rebecca just looked at each other, and to the pair in front of them, Monica was the fist to talk to them, she was shooting daggers to Rory, who kept looking at Jess in this eyes.
"Just calm down…"Rory was saying taking his hand on her own, and looking intensely in his eyes.
"We're sorry for being so noisy, please Rory forgive us, we didn't mean to be like that to you." Monica said with a forced smile. Rory didn't see it but Jess did.
"It's okay; if I offended you I'm sorry." Rory said relaxing a bit, and offering a small smile, she still had her hand on Jess's hand.
"I think we should be going so…"Monica began getting her things and paying her bill. "Are you going to go to the party tonight?" She asked looking directly at Jess, who else do you think she would be asking?
"Hmm, I hadn't thought about it" He said lying through his teeth.
"Oh, you should!" Monica exclaimed ignoring Rory completely, who had leave Jess's hand and was sitting silently with her eyes on the empty cup of coffee. "It'll be so much fun! I was thinking that maybe if you go, we could… I mean…"
"Oh no, I don't think so, If I'm going I already have someone." Jess said leaning on the counter and reaching for Rory's hand that looked up with surprise Jess was choosing her over some head air girl! "We kindda, you know…" said Jess smiling at Rory and winking at her.
That made Rory felt like floating. And Monica like falling.
"Oh" Was all that Monica could say. "Well, we'll see you guys later."
And with that the powerpuff girls fly out of the dinner.
"Rory…" Jess said looking at her pinky cheeks, her lips were swallowed, and seemed so tempting that he was having problems retraining himself.
"Yes?" she asked looking up at Jess. Their faces were so close.
"I think we should talk…" Jess said staring at her blue eyes.
"Yeah, I know…" Rory said beginning to feel like the army of butterflies had returned.
Jess was leaning dramatically over the counter; it was a funny sight to see.
"After yesterday…" Jess started playing and looking at her fingers.
"Yes?"
"I'd like to know… if there's a chance… that… that we could…"
"Yes?"
"That we could be together…" Jess said finally looking at her eyes.
And then he knew it.
"Yes."
