A/N No worries! This story will not become a narco or trory. Tristan is back because I want him to be. I really wanted him to screw things up for Rory and Dean and then be with Rory, until Jess came. You'll find out whether or not he becomes friends and/or enimies with the residents of Stars Hollow. Read and review please!
Jess walks into the diner where Luke is cleaning the counter. "Where the hell have you been?"
"With my girlfriend."
"Finally decided Rory is happy with Dean?"
"Nope."
"So Rory's your girlfriend?"
"Yup."
"What did you do?" Now bitter because his punk nephew got a Gilrmore girl.
"Nothing." He said feigning innocence. Something was wrong. Jess Mariano was never innocent.
"You must of done something for Rory to break up with Dean, her boyfriend of two years."
"Couldn't it be possible that she likes me more than Dean?" Now sounding annoyed. "I'm going out."
"If you are going to stay here then you are going to tell me where you are going."
"Bridge."
"Did you just listen to me?"
"I'm not about to get myself kicked out of Stars Hollow when things are starting to go my way." With that he left.
She walked down a farmilar path. It was the one spot they could just talk and not be interupted much. (A/N italics are flash backes or thoughts)
"I thought you said you didn't read much."
"What is much?"
Almost everytime they were together Dean would show up in a jealous rage and make her think that he didn't trust her. When she saw him sitting on the ede, feet dangling over the water and reading a smile krept on her face.
"Hey." He said looking up from his book.
"Hey, wuthca readin'?"
"Of Mice and Men."
She sat down and next to him and they fell into an akward silence. "This is akward. I dont' want it to be akward." She said finally breaking the silence.
"I think I know how to make this less akward."
"Oh really? What did you have in mind?" Sha asked rasing an eyebrow.
"This." He leans in to kiss her, and deepens it then pulls away.
"Tease!"
"Revenge! So does Lorelai know?"
"Yeah. She wants to strangle you."
"Figured. You haven't changed your mind have you?"
"Aww! You're so cute when you're insecure!"
"I'm not insecure!" Rory just eyes him disbelievingly. "I'm not! I just want to make sure."
"I still say you're cute."
"You're avoiding the question... that's my job!" She leans in and kisses him slowly and passionately.
"Just answer the question, Rory."
"Jess!. . . just be polite, if not civil to my mom."
"I can do that."
"Good."
"Hungry?"
"I could go for some ice cream." He gets up, extends his and helps her up. Then he picked up his book and puts it in his back pocket.(A/N I always found that sexy! Sorry, just gad to say it.)
At the Gilmore house later that night, Lorelai and Rory are on the couch wallowing. Lorelai made rory promise to wallow for one night. Lorelai is eating marshmallows and Rory has a pint of rocky road ice cream.
"Pregnant." Just saying it made Rory mad. "It's not fair." Rory pouted.
"No it isn't. I know you're mad at your dad but-" Rory cut her off.
"But what? I don't care any more! I can't believe I let myself think that he would stay and we could finally be a family. He can just go off and be someone else's dad, because frankly, I don't need him! All I need is you and grandma, grandpa,Luke, Jess, Sookie, Jackson, Lane. . . hell! even Mrs. Kim!" Rory finally took a deep breath of anger.
"You included Mrs. Kim?
"She's been arou nd more than him. . ." she started to think "Luke has been more of a father to me than Chris."
"So you're not calling him dad anymore. God I hope you're never that mad at me because you're Thelma to my Louise and I don't want you to be Bonnie to someone else's Clide." She said with a small smile and Rory just glared.
"Hey! I'm not the one who got your dad's girlfriend pregnant." Rory just glared more. "Right no jokes yet." Rory's glare lightned. "So you never got into detail about Dean."
Rory sighed. She was happy she was with Jess, but couldn't help but feel guilty. She didn't want him to find out like that, much less have him make her feel guilty. But thats what he wanted. Thats what he wants me to feel! He just wants me to feel bad so that I'll dump Jess and bo to him. But I'm not falling for it. From now on I don't know him.
She sighed again and told Lorelai everything not leaving anything out. When she reached the end of her story Lorelai was wide eyed and speechless. AN akward silence fell over them. "Tristan caught you making out!" was the first thing that came out of her mouth breaking the silence.
"Yes mother." She rolled her eyes.
"He better not start calling you Magdaline. . . yet."
"Why would he call me that? I don't plan on sleeping with Jess."
"You say that now."
"Mom!" She felt offended.
"I just want you to be safe, if you do decide to, let me know first.
"Fine."
"Aha! So you were thinking about it!"
"No you said if," emphasizng if to get her point across "and i really don't want to get into this or a fight with you so can we please drop it?"
"Fine. Dropping it."
"Good, now pass the whip cream please."
The next morning in Luke's they walk in arm in arm and sit down at an empty table. "I want pancakes!" Lorelai declaired.
"And coffee!" added Rory.
"Of course what was I thinking?"
"You weren't because when you do all you think about is coffee." Rory stated matter-of-factly.
"You know me so well." She said with a smile. Luke walked over to them with two mugs and filled them to the brim and said "Your pancakes are coming."
"Thanks burger boy."
"Don't call me that."
"Would you prefer Duke?"
"Whatever. Rory, could go upstarirs and tell Jess to get his punk as down here?"
"I'll be right back." She said while heading toward the counter before disappearing behind the counter. She knocked on the door and a few minutes later a somewhat annoyed Jess came to the door. "Luke-"
"Hey! Luke sent me to tell you to get your 'punk ass' down there and help him."
"This is a much better wake up call." He smirked and moved aside to let her in. He was dressed in a pair of baggy jeans, no shirt. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrpped his arms around her waist. "Did you just get out of the shower?"
"Yeah. Care to join me in another?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"Jess..." Rory said warningly.
"I'm only kidding."
"Would you settle for a kiss?"
"Sure babe." He leans down and captures her lips with his right when her cell phone goes off.
"Hold that thought. Hello?"
R/L
"You've been up there a while. If you don't come back soon I'll eat your pancakes and Luke still wants his punk ass down here."
"Is that the only part he wants down there?"
"Dirty!"
"5 minutes."
"Don't blame me if you're pancakes are gone by then."
"Luke will just make me more. Bye."
"5 minutes and if you're not down here I'm gonna send Luke up with his baseball bat. Bye."
Jess was now fully dressed and just fixing his hair. "How long do we have?" He asked while finishing with his hair.
"5 minutes, then Luke is coming up with a baseball bat."
"Just enough time." He walked over to her and kissed her long and hard. He slipped his tounge between her parted lips as hers was comingup to meet his. The kiss became more heated as they heard someone coming up the stairs. "We have to find a better makeout spot."
"What time does your shift end?"
"4:00."
"Bridge?"
"Bridge. Come on lets go before Luke kicks my ass with his bat."
"Yeah, if you're all black and blue what use would I have for you?" An evil grinn appeared on her face.
"Dirty." He smirked. They walked out to see somthing they thought they'd never have to wittness. Lorelai and Luke kissing. (A/N this is where I add J/J undertones.)"Get a room!" Jess said then took Rory's hand and led her downstairs.
"I'll kill him!"
"Just because he caught us kissing?"
"No, because he stopped us from kissing."
"Dirty. But I want coffee burger boy."
"Its going to kill you."
"I'll die a happy woman. Now make with the coffee."
"Let me put my bat away."
"I'll be downstairs." Lorelai walked downstaris and saw the smile on her daughter's face. I haven't seen that smle in awhile. If he makes her this happy... she thought to herself.
Rory was sitting at a table eating breakfast. When Jess passed by she pulled the book from his back pocket out and started reading. He was reading The DaVinchi Code. (A/N I'm not a person who knows alot about literarture or music so I won't be able to put in those kind of conversations. I wish I could. But hey, I'm still young, I've got time... Oh! And milo is sexy! Just had to say it! LOL!) Lorelai went and sat next to her daughter to finish her breakfast. "Rory?"
"Hmm?" She looked up from her book.
"What do you think about Luke?"
"I say FINALLY!"
"What?"
"Everyone in town knows you two have had a thing for each other for a while.
"What? How am I not aware of this?"
"Ms. Patty has been trying to set you up for years with him. But you're both stubborn. . . so details!"
"I never got details!"
"Do you want details about Jess?" with a look of surprise.
"Nope, never mind." They talked and finished their breakfast."Sorry to cut this short but I gotta get to the inn."
"Thats ok. I gotta go clue Lane in. I'll pay."
"Here. Bye sweets." She handed Rory some money then left.
Rory got up, put The DaVinchi Code in her back pocket mimicking Jess and and went to the counter where Jess is doing that thing with the reciepts (he's sorting them or something like that)."Hey!" He said and leaned over the counter only to be interupted by Luke.
"Jess! Get back to work! Sorry Rory, you can take him after 4."
"Oh, alright." She pouted.
"That'll be 12.50 ma'am." He said with that Mayberry voice. (Andy Giffith for those of you who don't know. My dad watches it.)
"What? No special girlfriend discount?"
"Nope, sorry."
"Here." She handed him the money. "I'll see you later then."
"Where you goin'? Before you answer that you should know that Trsitan guy is coming in."
Rory just sighed deeply and turned around to see Tristan walking towards her. "You don't look happy to see me Mary." He said feigning hurt.
"I'm not. Tristan, I have a boyfriend. Nothing you can do to change that so don't waste your time."
"How about friends, does that work for you? Or is he like bag boy who wouldn't even let me carry your books?"
"You carried her books?" Jess asked while starting to laugh.
"Yup. The day I had to watch Rory tell that idiot she loved him." Rory could see hurt flash in his eyes.
"I feel for ya' man. I had to watch love birds kiss everyday here."
"I'm still here you know." She turned to Jess.
"I know, and beautiful."
"Nice save." They both lean in to kiss each other.
"Yeah but now I have to watch you two kiss."
"No one is making you stay." Jess retorted.
"Jess! Go take care of the window table." Luke yelled while coming out of the kitchen with someone's order.
"Duty calls." He goes around the counter and makes his way to the window table. Rory watches his everymove with a smile.
"You really like him don't you?"
"Very much."
"More than bag boy himself?"
"With Jess, there's more than just kissing. We can talk for hours about nothing and anything. We share the same passion for books. We listen to the same music, we watch the same movies. It's different that what Dean and I had." Rory was truly happy and Tristan could see it.
A/N I know I'm evil! This chapter was getting too long. R/R. In the next chapter I hope to get some Lane and Ms. Patty. Maybe even a town meeting. I dunno. Again, R/R!
