Popcorn and Kisses
Chapter 2
Later at the Diner.
"So Luke," Lorelai batted her eyelashes flirtatioly. She was very surprised when he actually blushed. "Are you coming to my party tomorrow?"
"Rory already asked me that." He grunted.
"And what did you say?" she asked in a mock Southern bell voice.
"You know what I said." He scowled.
"Yes, but what did you say?" she repeated.
"Are you going to keep this up until I give you your daily dose of teeth rotting, calcium blocking, sludge?" he asked annoyed.
"Yup." She nodded.
Um. Can I have some teeth rotting, calcium blocking, sludge to please."? Rory asked grinning.
"If you must." Luke rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen.
The night of the party.
"Rory, can you come zip me up please." Lorelai called from upstairs.
"Mom? Why are you getting ready? The party isn't for like five hours." Rory said as she walked into Lorelai's bedroom looking confused.
"Rory, in the seventeen years that you have known me, what have you learned?" Lorelai asked.
"That you have this weird obsession with oompaloompa's?" Rory guessed halph joking haph serious.
"Haha! Close but, no. That I take like forever to get ready. Ringing a bell now?" "Oh! That." Rory grinned. Rory zipped her up and then she went downstairs to take her pizza rolls out of the microwave.
She was walking into the kitchen when she noticed a sprig of mistletoe hanging from the doorway.
A plan started to form in her head. It seemed to her like a really bad episode of I Love Lucy as it became clearer and clearer what she had to do.
But she had to at least try right? They would never admit it on their own.
She knew that for sure. Luke and Lorelai would never get together without a little pushing.
Suddenly she knew who she needed if she was going to pull this off.
The realization kind of frightened her. Heck it didn't just frighten her it scared her to pieces.
Before she knew what was happening she was telling her mother that she was going to get coffee and was out the door before she could stop herself.
She was at the Diner in record time.
"Jess?" she asked as she walked in.
"Yea?" he asked from behind his place at the counter.
He was reading a book, and had only stopped momentarily to see what she wanted.
The Diner was deserted. "Oh, good it's just you!" she breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at her smugly. "You were hoping to see me then?"
Rory rolled her eyes. "I need your help."
He tried to wipe the shocked look off his face but found it considerably hard.
"Are you okay?" he asked worried.
"Yes" she said. "Are you the only one here?"
"Yes" he said looking at her curiously.
"Well, I have come up with a plan but, I need your help."
"Well, what's the plan and what's this about?" he asked. "This, my friend is a plan to finally get Luke and Lorelai together. When you and Luke arrive at the party I'll give you a signal. I want you to get Luke over near Lorelai. I'll make sure she Is under a piece of mistletoe by dropping a couple of handfuls Of popcorn on the floor directly under the mistletoe! She will pick it up and Luke being the gentleman he is will help her. Then I can only hope one of them will look up and she will so good he won't be able to Resist kissing her!" she finished with a flourish.
Jess looked at her in disbelief. "And you actually think this is going to work?"
"I can only hope. We can only hope." She said with pleading eyes.
"Fine." Jess stated.
"Really? Thank you Jess!" she threw herself into his arms for a hug.
"I'll tap the tip of my nose for the signal." And with that she was out the door.
AN/ Please review! It's embarrassing begging like that please don't make me do it again! (
