Disclaimer: Own nothing…
A/N: So, I didn't really know where to go with this chapter but here it goes. Oh, by the way thanks for the reviews I love them.
Jerri: about the drama I'm trying to think of something to cause the drama but I think I might do some Dean drama with this, because I really hate him ;o)
Luke's morning ---
Rory and Lorelai are sitting at the counter eating their breakfasts.
"Lucas, more coffee please."
"No." Luke called from one of the tables near the window.
"But, Luke I need my coffee."
While Lorelai argued with Luke she didn't notice Jess come down the stairs. Rory smiled at him and he did a little half smile thing back. Once Lorelai noticed Jess's presence she decided to try to get coffee out of him.
"Oh, Jess can I, the bestest person in the WHOLE world have some coffee?"
"Whatever." Jess said as he poured her and Rory more coffee.
"Oh, he's a keeper." Lorelai whispered to Rory. Rory lightly hit her mom on the arm.
"Hey! You're not supposed to give them more coffee." Luke shouted at Jess across the diner.
"Huh." Was all Jess had to say.
"Oh don't 'huh' me. You just gave them more coffee now I'm going to have to listen to how you're better then me because you gave them coffee and how jess gives them coffee why can't you be like Jess and give us coffee."
"Whatever Uncle Luke."
"Luke. Just Luke."
"Ok Just Luke, I'm going out." Jess walked out the door not sure what to do. He didn't have to go to school because he wasn't starting until next year and plus Stars Hollow High was already out for the summer.
"Oh he really is a funny one, huh Ror?"
"Yeah defiantly."
"You ok?"
"Yeah, it's the last week of school I guess I'm a little out there."
"Ok." Rory sighed in relief that her mom bought that. But the truth was she felt something for Jess and she was pretty sure she liked him, more then friendish like, but she didn't want to act upon it yet because she wasn't sure what Jess was feeling.
Ever since the welcoming dinner her and Jess have hung out a lot sometimes even with Lane. Lorelai seemed to be okay with him, not totally 'get away from my daughter' as she was with Dean at first. Maybe she was just better at hiding it now? Who knows?
"Well, I got to go or I'll miss my bus." She got up kissed her moms cheek and left.
Doose's ---
Jess walked into Doose's. He was planning on buying some stuff for him since all Luke had was health food stuff and diner food and he was sick of the same stuff. He went to the candy aisle and grabbed a few different candies and went to the aisle where there were chips. As he was deciding on what kind of chips to buy he felt someone's eyes boring into his back. When he turned around he saw the guy he remembered to be Dean, Rory's ex. He had met him on the tour Rory gave him that first day.
"What are you doing here?" Dean asked angrily.
"Excuse me? As far I know anyone is allowed in this market."
"Stay away from her."
"Who?" Jess asked even though he was pretty sure he meant Rory.
"Don't play dumb you know who."
"Actually I don't, care to enlighten me?"
"Rory"
"And why should I stay away from her exactly?"
"She's mine!"
"Uhuh, and if I remember correctly, she didn't love you back."
"How do you know about that?"
"Oh, please who doesn't know about that?"
"You weren't here when it happened."
"No, but Rory told me."
"Why would she do that?"
"Look, man, as much as I would love to play 21 questions with you I really got to get back to the diner." With that Jess walked away before Dean could say anything else.
Luke's ---
Rory got off the bus and was now waiting for her mom in Luke's. Then her cell phone went off.
"Hello"
"Hey sweets."
"Mom, where are you, you were supposed to meet me ten minutes ago."
"I know, I'm sorry there's this huge thing at the Inn tomorrow and I got held up and, Oh crap hold on." While she waited for her mom to come back she heard yelling and cursing in the background.
"Sorry sweets, um you're at Luke's right?"
"Yeah, he's giving an evil look right now, what's going on?"
"Can you ask him to come to the Inn for like 10 minutes and bring Bert?"
"Yeah sure, hang on."
"Hey Luke mom needs you at the Inn, can you go and bring Bert with you?"
"Yeah and hurry up on that thing or go outside." As he walked out the door.
"He said yes and he just left so I'll talk to you later, love you."
"Bye love ya."
"More coffee?" Jess asked Rory.
"Oh yes, defiantly."
"So what was gong on with your mom that she needed Luke?"
"I don't know she didn't say."
"Oh"
"So, what're you reading?" Rory asked Jess eagerly.
"Well, it's this new book I found at this book store in Harford…"
Independence Inn --- basement (now I don't know if the Inn actually has a
basement but that's why it's fiction)
"Luke, did you fix it yet?"
"No, Lorelai."
"Well, hurry up"
"I'm going as fast as I can. So, how exactly did you do this again?"
"Well, I sent Michel down here to…"
"Ok already noticing what a big mistake that was."
"Shh… and let me finish. Ok, so I sent Michel own here to turn the power back on when it went out – which is still a mystery on how it went out, oh maybe there's monsters living in the basement. How freaky would that be? Ok off topic now where was i? – Right Michel came down and he was playing with all of the switches and he got frustrated and he punched it and that thin came off and now you're here fixing it. And you're my hero." Lorelai explained and gave Luke a hug. Luke looked surprised by this but finally gave in and hugged her back.
"Ok, I'm just about done."
"Good, because I think the guests are a little upset about the loss of power."
"Why are they all inside anyways it's a beautiful day out?"
"Eh, tourists, what do they know?"
"Right, well, all fixed."
"Great thank you so much Luke." She said and gave him another hug and Luke relaxed into it a little quicker this time.
"Right, um well I'll see you for dinner right?"
"Yeah, I'll be there." Once Luke left Lorelai sat down and started to realize maybe all those things Miss. Patty and Sookie and Babbette used to tell her were true maybe she did have feelings for Luke. But, as quickly as that thought came it was brushed away. No way, this was Luke, diner man Luke, coffee man, and she doesn't have any thing more than platonic feelings for him.
Gilmore Mansion ---
"Mom, ring he bell all ready."
"No, you ring it."
"Mom, this is ridiculous."
"I know, right? Why are they making us come here on the night of your last day of school? We should be celebrating with a good old fashioned Stars Hollow party!"
"That's not what I meant…" Rory was cut off by the door opening.
"Girls, I thought I heard you out here."
"Hi Grandma."
"Hello Rory, Lorelai."
"Mom"
"Well, don't stand out there come in, come in."
The three girls were sitting at the table eating dinner. Richard was out of town.
"Lorelai how is the Inn?"
"It''s fine."
"Good and how's the diner man?"
"Luke?"
"If that is the diner man then yes."
"Why do you want to know?"
"I'm just curious, he is your friend right?"
"Well, yeah.."
"So, it's ok to be curious about him."
"I know mom but you don't usually ask about him."
"I was just wondering Lorelai."
"Well, he's good."
"Well good, and Rory how is, Lane?"
"Good, she's good."
"Are you happy schools out?"
"Defiantly."
"Relaly? I thoughght you liked it?"
"Oh I do, but I love the summer."
"Oh, of course."
"So, mom are you and dad going to Martha's Vineyard this summer?"
"Actually we aren't, we are going to this really nice place in New York."
"New York, mom? Are you serious?"
"Yes Of course I am."
"You never went there when I was little it was ALWAYS the Vineyard."
"Well, we decided it was a good idea to change this year."
"Oh. Hey Rory maybe she'll she Jess's mom."
"Probably not she lives in the city, mom."
"Who's Jess?"
"Luke's nephew."
"The diner man has a nephew?"
"Yep, and he lives with him now and he works in the diner and he gives all the coffee all want." Lorelai said excitedly.
"Mom, he doesn't do that anymore if Luke is around though."
"Oh yeah."
"Well, are you friends with this Jess fellow, Rory?" Emily inquired.
"Well, yeah I guess. We hang out sometimes."
Lorelai mumbled under her breath "if sometimes counts for every day." Rory rolled her eyes at her mom.
"What was that Lorelai?"
"Nothing, mom."
Saturday morning ---
Rory got up and found at note from Lorelai:
Hey, sweets. Had to work at the Inn. I'll be home late. Money for Luke's or whatever. Have fun with Lane or Jess or whoever you hang out with today ;-)
Love ya xo
Hmm… now what am I supposed to do? Rory thought. She decided to head to Luke's for breakfast. On her way there she saw a large crowd outside Doose's market. So, she took a detour over there to see what was going on. When she got there she was shocked at what she saw…
Oh cliff hanger! But, if you think really hard I bet you'll think of what it is. Come on… think, but don't think too much 'cause you still got to REVIEW.
Next time:
- Probably a town meeting
- I really like Mia so maybe she'll come for a visit or something
- and of course what was outside the market… but come on Jess fans think real hard or maybe not hard at all maybe it's completely obvious. But I just really liked this thing so I had to incorporate it in.
- Oh and Major Dean Drama… and the return of someone causes a riff between Luke and Lorelai (but don't worry not too much that it can't be fixed)
