Chapter 5- She'll just do it again
In a day it would be a week since Rory said anything to her mother. But tonight was Friday night dinner, they would have to be in a car together for thirty minutes and then be with Richard and Emily for two hours. She was dreading this.
She was walking to the diner, she was tired of not talking to Jess. So she walked in her fancy dress and her high heels, all ready for Friday night dinner, with a mission. She came into the diner and stared down Jess who was staring at her.
"Quit drooling and get up stairs." She instructed.
He nodded, "After you." He told her. Watching her walk as she went. He smiled and Luke hit him upside the head.
Jess went upstairs rubbing the back of his head. He got into the apartment and was greeted by Rory's lips on his. As soon as he started to respond she pulled away.
"Are you mad at me?"
"What?"
"Are you mad at me? You haven't talked to me all week and its making me wonder, if you're mad at me. And why."
"I'm not mad at you."
"Then why haven't you talked to me?"
Jess shrugged.
"Oh well that explains it all."
"I think so."
Rory shook her head. Jess stepped closer and kissed her.
Rory pulled away again, "I have to go to Friday night dinner."
"I'm sorry."
Rory sighed, "It gets worse. I have to be alone with my mother for 3 hours."
-
The car was silent. Radio off, mouths closed, not one sound was made for thirty minutes.
They got to the Gilmore Manor and rang the bell, still in silence.
"Hello girls." Emily said brightly.
"Hi Grandma." Rory said warmly with a smile as she hugged Emily.
"Hello Mom." Lorelai smiled.
"Well its so good to see you two again. Richard is on a business trip, so its just us girls tonight." Emily said leading them into the living room.
"Where is he?" Rory asked, making small talk as they sat down.
"He's in Los Angeles." She told them making their usual drinks.
"Wow. California." Rory said with a smile.
"Yes. I told him to be sure to send to a postcard." Emily said handing each of them their drinks as she sat down.
"Thanks grandma." Rory smiled.
"Of course." Emily looked at Lorelai, "Lorelai, you're awfully quiet."
"Got nothing to say." She answered taking a sip of her martini.
"So what's he doing in Los Angeles?" Rory asked changing the subject.
"He's having a meeting with the partners out there, some business nonsense that I choose not to be involved with."
"Oh. Well I hope he gets back soon."
"Yes, me too. He should be back by next Friday."
"Good." Rory smiled, taking a sip of her soda.
"Mrs. Gilmore, dinner is ready." The maid announced.
"Thank you Esperanza. Shall we girls."
"We shall." Lorelai said standing and walking into the Dining room. Rory and Emily followed.
-
"So I told Eloise to tell that dreadful woman, that no, pink carnations would not be a proper substitute for peach carnations, that nothing would be a proper substitute, that they needed to find twelve dozen peach carnations, and I didn't care if they had to go through every flower shop in all of Connecticut to get them." Emily said as the three of them ate.
Rory and Lorelai were silent, every now and then throwing glares at each other from across the table.
Emily looked between the two then spoke again, "It all ended well though we had our twelve dozen peach carnations."
Lorelai glared at Rory as she speared a piece of chicken. Rory returned the glare while stabbing at a carrot.
"Alright you two, what's going on?" Emily said dropping her fork.
"What?" Lorelai asked.
"There's something going on between you two, what is it?" Emily asked, no one answered her so she continued, "I've been trying to ignore the tension since you got here. Now tell me what is going on."
"Nothings going on, grandma."
"Oh please." Lorelai scoffed.
"What?" Rory asked, dropping her fork.
"Something is going on! You're the one that's been freezing me out all week."
"Oh please. You haven't made any attempts to get on good terms again."
"Oh so its my fault?"
"Yes." Rory got up and stormed off.
Lorelai grabbed her drink and downed it quickly, before leaning back in her chair. Emily stared at her.
-
Rory stormed into the study and threw herself down in the large chair that belonged to her grandfather.
She swirled around in it, stopping with her heal on the floor. She picked up the phone, dialed, and waited.
"Luke's diner." Jess answered, causing Rory to smile in-spite of her current mood.
"Jess." She said quietly.
"Rory?" He asked.
"Yeah. Can you do me a favor?"
-
Rory made her way to the second story of the Gilmore manor and stood at the window of her mother's old bedroom, waiting. She looked as a familiar truck pulled onto the street just outside the gate. She smiled and waited for him to come up the drive way before dropping her shoes down. She gripped the tree branch and climbed down, rather gracefully. Grace didn't help her when she lost her footing and fell, but Jess was there to catch her. She picked up her shoes and smiled as she stood up, facing him.
She kissed him quickly. "Thank you for coming." She said walking down the path to the truck.
"Anytime."
"I cant believe Luke let you take his truck."
"He didn't." Jess smiled to himself.
"You stole Luke's truck?" Rory asked gaping at him.
"Is it really steeling if the person doesn't know you took it?"
"Yes."
"Well, fine, then think of it this way, I stole it for you."
Rory shook her head and smiled.
-
"I guess I should go and talk to her." Lorelai said glaring at the study's door.
"Yes probably." Emily nodded.
"All right. Here I go." Lorelai said standing and walking to the door.
She knocked tentatively. "Rory?" She asked. With no response she asked again, "Rory?" Still no answer.
"You cant stay in there forever. You have to come out eventually." No answer still.
"Fine I'm coming in." Lorelai opened the door and found Rory was gone.
She closed the door, "She's not in there." She informed her mother.
"What!"
"She's not in there." Lorelai repeated running upstairs to her old room.
She opened the door and found the window open, curtains blowing in the wind.
"I'm gonna kill her when I get home." Lorelai said going and closing the window with anger. She suddenly realized, "He had to have picked her up. I'm just gonna have to kill him too." She said going downstairs.
"Mom. I'm sorry, but I have to go find my daughter and ground her for the next eternity, so I'll have to be cutting this dinner short. Bye." She said grabbing her purse and coat.
"Bye Lorelai. Punish her well, or else," Emily spoke as she came to the door, "She'll just do it again." Emily called after Lorelai before closing the door.
Please leave a review. I love it when you do.
