Okay I'm trying out something new. This is a fic taking place after season five, of course. So the basis of this fic is that Luke and Lorelai are engaged Rory is on speaking terms with Lorelai but is still not planning on going back to college. Luke has regained the Twickam house and is fixing it up so he and Lorelai can move in. Luke is also in the process of temporarily moving into Lorelai's house because Tom is repairing water damage in Luke's apartment. Also Rory has just broken up with Logan. Okay enjoy.
Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot of this Interesting (I hope) Fan Fiction. Don't sue me I have nothing.
A Happy Home?
Moving and Flashbacks
Today was moving day. Luke and Lorelai took off work and moved all of Luke's belongings. Things were going pretty well in the moving process except one thing was missing. Rory was supposed to have been at Luke's hours ago. Luke wanted to wait for her, but Lorelai said they should start and Rory would find them when she got there.
They couldn't understand why she didn't show up.
When they had finally finished moving the last couple of boxes, Lorelai tried calling Rory again.
"This is Rory. I'll call you back." Her voicemail.
"How boring!" Lorelai called out. Then she left a message.
"Hey, kid where are you? I thought you were coming to help us move this morning? Well, I guess I'll talk to you later. Call me. Bye." Lorelai said and then hung up.
"Not answering?" Luke asked.
Lorelai smiled at him and shook her head. "No."
"Oh, well I'm sure something came up. I hope she didn't get sick or something." Luke said.
"Yeah, me too." Lorelai said. She's probably out with Logan. Lorelai thought to herself.
"Come on it's getting late. What do you want for dinner?" Luke asked putting his arm around Lorelai's shoulders and leading her into the kitchen.
"Logan, it's not what it looks like." She said.
"Oh really? How so? Because to me it looks like you're in here making out with another guy!" Logan said angrily.
"Fine that is what happened. But I was upset and you said that you needed some time. He was comforting me." She told him hurt and angry.
"Yeah, I said I needed time, but I meant like an hour to take a walk. Not like we were on break or something." Logan yelled.
"Well I didn't know that! Maybe you should clarify next time!" Rory said clearly upset.
"Are you sleeping with him?" Logan asked.
"Why? Why does it matter? It's not like you weren't sleeping with Juliet!" Rory yelled.
"So you were sleeping with him!" Logan returned.
"Maybe I was. But it's none of your business anymore. It stopped being your business when you started being with Juliet, and frankly I don't even care anymore. Do you know why? Because he loves me!" Rory screamed pointing at the boy on the couch. "And I love him." Rory said quietly staring at him.
"What makes him any better than me? He hurt you before, several times, and you're giving him another chance. Why not me?" Logan asked.
"First of all, he never cheated on me. Second, he made it up to me and showed me how he had changed." Rory told him.
"So you're with him now? Just like that?" Logan asked.
"Yeah." She said quietly looking down at her feet.
"Fine. But when he runs off, you're not coming running back to me." He said storming out of the pool house.
The events that took place the last two weeks kept replaying in her head.
It all started about three months ago.
Rory was working at her new job of being a receptionist at a publishing company, when in he walked. Rory didn't recognize him at first it had been a while since she had last seen him and he was dressing different and had cut his hair. But when their eyes met she automatically knew who it was Jess Mariano.
She didn't know why, but she smiled at him. She should have been mad at him, still upset over the way he treated her, and how wrong he handled things. It probably had something to do with the fact that her and Logan weren't connecting the way that they used to. Maybe they were just bored, she wasn't really sure. But she did like seeing Jess again.
She found out later that he had a jog there too. He was an author of their latest series, "Tales of a Young Hoodlum". She thought her mother would have laughed at that title, but she didn't tell her mother that she had seen Jess again. She didn't know why, she just didn't want to.
One day they happened to take the same lunch break and had lunch together. They quickly fell back into their banter and argued about books and movies. It was almost like the old days again. After that they shared lunch together everyday. They became very good friends. For a while.
TBCI know it doesn't really tell much, but I hope that you liked it. For those of you who were confused about the flashbacks, the first one was two weeks earlier, and the second one was about three months ago. So, please review!
