"Well if thats in regards to mom, then I'll talk to her, I know she's just as bad as you but if you both try then maybe you can learn to get along." Rory said as she stopped right in front of him.
"Rory...I'll try, ok, but I doubt Lorelai and I are ever going to 'get along'." Jess looked around. "So now what?" He asked raising his eyebrows at her
Well, what do you want to do?" Rory asked innocently.
Jess smirked at Rory but decided to play along. "Well I don't know. Maybe I'll pull out my copy of 'A Farewell to Arms' and I can read it to you, since you never get the opportunity to read much Hemingway." he teased.
"Or how 'bout you just go home?" Rory said sarcastically.
"Huh," Jess said in that patented Jess manner of his, "Fine, I'll go home." He smiled his crooked little smile, "I'll go home if you'll come with me." He raised his eyebrows looking at her. "It'll be fine, your mom is at Luke's anyway," he paused then added, "I'll buy you coffee."
"Well, I don't know, it's getting kinda late," Rory said faking a yawn.
"Well then I guess I'll go so you can get some sleep." Jess said laughing to himself, " 'cause I really hate it when you're cranky, and you're always cranky when you don't get enough sleep."
"Oh! I am not!" Rory said offended.
"See Rory, you're cranky already." Jess said trying to hide his grin.
"Ok, I'll admit it, I am cranky when I don't get enough sleep, but I can also be cranky when I don't get enough coffee." Rory said matter-of-factly.
Jess laughed, "Yes and I graciously offered to buy you that coffee Rory, but you said you would rather stay here all alone, since you are just so tired." Jess smirked.
"Well, I am suddenly feeling very wide-awake." Rory said not about to give up.
"Huh" Jess said trying to hide his smirk. "So do you feel like going to Luke's for that promised coffee. Or did you have something else in mind?" Jess tried to say seductively well trying to hide back the laughter at Rory's behavior.
Rory smirked before saying "I think I'll take the coffee, sorry though."
"Your loss," Jess teased as he threw on his jacket and opened the door, holding it open while he waited for Rory. "Whenever you're ready milady." Jess called as Rory was getting her jacket on.
"Aren't you just Mr. Manners today." Rory said as she walked out the door. "I guess I must be rubbing off on you." Rory said smirking.
"Oh god, please no..." Jess replied sarcasrically as he shut the door behind them. "Now you've done it," Jess said after the door was shut and they were off the porch and heading toward Luke's, "now I have to do something totally heinous in this town just to make up for that one remark." He scratched his head in a winnie-the-pooh 'think think' kinda way then he turned to Rory. "I could make out with my girlfriend in the middle of town, I'm sure that's frowned upon." he glanced at Rory slyly waiting for a response.
"Oh, du-du-du-dear," Rory said in a Piglet kinda way, matching his sarcasticness.
Jess laughed and wrapped his arm around Rory as the two approached the diner. "Last chance." he announced before they were visible to the diner occupants through the window. He was enjoying this time alone with Rory even if all he was doing was teasing her.
"Well...I don't know....." Rory said secretly hoping that he would, but not willing to say it.
Jess stopped, pulled Rory to him and kissed her. He broke away and smiled at her, "still want to go to Luke's?" he asked quietly.
"And what do you have in mind?" Rory said still in awe from the kiss.
"Oh I don't know Rory, we can go sit on a bench somewhere and stare at our shoes." he winked at her then smirked.
"Oh, ya know, that sounds like lots of fun but I think I would rather get my coffee, but maybe after that we can go somewhere and 'look at our shoes'." Rory said shivering.
Jess nodded, and wrapped his arms around her and the two walked into the diner. "I'll go make a fresh pot of coffee, just for you," he whispered to her as he let go and gave her a quick peck on the cheek and then headed behind the counter to start the coffee.
"Aren't I special" Rory said as she sat down at the counter.
Jess turned from the coffee pot and smirked at Rory. "Let me guess you want a piece of pie too." He asked Rory as he refilled Lorelai's coffee cup with the reminder of coffee left in the old pot.
"Well now that you mention it...." Rory said as she took off her coat.
Jess sighed, "apple or cherry?" he asked trying to sound annoyed
"Well if you're gonna get mad then forget it." Rory said getting slightly irritated.
Jess realizing he was getting himself into the dog house brought Rory a piece of both apple and cherry. "Here." he winked then poured her a cup of coffee.
"No, I changed my mind, If you're gonna act that way then I don't want your pie." Rory said pushing the plate away.
"Fine," Jess said as he took the plate away and pulled out a fork. He took a forkful of pie and ate it. "MMmmm" he said while looking at Rory with his big brown eyes, he reached for her coffee cup. "You probably don't want the coffee either," he said around his mouthful of pie.
Rory smacked his hand and grabbed the cup, "Now I didn't say that did I?" she said as she pulled the coffee up against her chest.
Jess pulled his hand away trying to look like a sad pathetic puppy, but it didn't work too well because he was trying not to laugh at Rory's defensiveness over her coffee. "Starting tomorrow there is going to be a new diner rule, no coffee without pie."
"Hey, didn't my mom say she was coming to the diner?" Rory said as she grabbed her fork and tried to secretly get a bite of pie.
Jess pulled the plate away from Rory. "Hey, you said you didn't want any pie." he said as he glanced around the diner. "and yeah your mom said she was going to the diner...and where is Luke anyway? Seems everyone is disappearing." Jess turned back to face Rory who was still trying to get some pie from his plate. "Okay, I'll make a deal with you, a sip of coffee for a bite of pie." he raised his eyebrows at her.
She raised her eyebrows back at him and sighed, "Oh allright but just one sip, and then lets go see if mom and Luke are upstairs." Rory said while sliding her coffee across the table.
"Okay," Jess said as he handed her his plate and fork and took a large gulp from her coffee mug, just to annoy her. He put down the mug. "Do you hear that?" he asked as he scrunched up his face intent on listening to the sound he heard.
Luke and Lorelai were locked into the store room. "Lorelai I told you not to shut the door, what's wrong with you? Has all that coffee you drink made you go deaf?" Luke yelled at Lorelai as he rammed his shoulder into the door trying to get it to open. "dammit!" he cursed as he turned to glare at Lorelai who was eyeing the coffee cans suspiciously.
Lorelai rolled her eyes at Luke. "Well Lukey if you hadn't asked me to help you carry those cans into the kitchen then none of this would have happened," Lorelai said pointing to the canned vegetables that were stacked in the corner of the room. "Plus I think Roger is mad at you, with the way you keep ramming your shoulder into him and all. I wouldn't open for you either if I were him." Lorelai said speaking about the door which she named Roger. She then went back to looking at all the coffee beans Luke had in the store room.
"Hey Luke, I was thinking if you sold the coffee beans with your coffee then people could get a more authentic coffee flavor, y'know like drink the coffee eat the beans." Lorelai saw the dirty look Luke was giving her, "or not." she added quietly
"Lorelai we are trapped in here!" Luke spoke to her like she was a three year old. "There is no way out." He said slowly. "Do you understand?" He asked her angrily. "So stopped staring at the coffee cans, and come over here and try to help me get this door open."
"You mean Roger," Lorelai said childishly as she gave the coffee beans a sad look and walked toward Luke.
"Fine, will you help me get Roger open, Lorelai?" Luke barked, angry at her for causing the situation.
"Dirty!" Lorelai squealed as she sauntered over to Luke. He glared at her. "Okay okay, I get the point, but I don't see what the big deal is Luke, when Jess comes back he'll let us out." Lorelai thought about that for a minute, "okay, I did not just say that." Lorelai threw herself at the door screaming hysterically "LET US OUT!!!" Luke pulled her away from the door. "We're going to be stuck in here forever, and hundreds of years from now, someone will realize we're gone and find our skeletons in the corner surrounded by all these unopened coffee cans, b/c I can't find a stupid can opener." Lorelai was rambling on and on.
Jess burst out laughing. "They are stuck in the store room." Jess said to Rory while she looked at him like he had lost his mind. "y'know your mom and Luke...they are stuck in the back room," Jess said slowly in explanation.
"Oh," Rory said slowly "So should we let them out.....or should we wait awhile and get me some more coffee since you drank all of mine?"
Jess poured Rory a new cup of coffee still grinning like an idiot. "Y'know we could leave them there all night." Jess teased, he knew Luke would kill him in the morning. "or raid the fridge." He grinned slyly. "What do you say, let's see what kind of food good ol' Uncle Luke has stock piled."
"Well you can't exactly get in trouble, because if they can't hear us then there's no proof that we could hear them, I think we should leave them in for another hour or so...then maybe they'll realize how perfect they are for each other." Rory said smirking as she followed Jess to the fridge.
"wow, Rory Gilmore going against all things good and righteous," Jess teased. He winked at her and then motioned for her to follow him as he led her to the fridge.
Back in the storeroom...
Luke was sitting on the floor in the storeroom, leaning against the wall. He took off the baseball cap and rubbed his face with his hands. "Lorelai," Luke said sounding exhausted, "would you please stop trying to gnaw your way through that can. They will let us out, and now if you get your drool all over the can I won't be able to make coffee with those beans, and then I'll lose money." Luke just looked at her when he heard a fit of laughter come from outside the door. He thought he was imagining things. "Did you hear that?" he asked Lorelai suddenly alert.
Meanwhile.....
Somehow, while following Jess, Rory tripped over a box and went flying forward knocking Jess down, and landing on top of him. They both began laughing hysterically. "Ohmygosh! Are you allright Jess?" Rory asked after she gained control of herself.
Jess bit his lip to keep his laughter under control and looked up at Rory and shook his head slightly. "First you insist on leaving your mom and Luke locked in the store room and now you jump me." Jess feigned seriousness. "And then you ask me if I'm all right?" He pretended to be upset. "Well gosh Rory, I just don't know, I think you might be a bad influence on me, scarred me for life, although all those scars would appear to be mental." Jess said as a way of telling Rory he was okay, but still having to tease her because it was just so much fun.
Rory decided to join in on the joking, "Yep, I was just so mad at you for drinking my coffee and stealing my pie that I just had to let my anger out...I was really hoping to break your back, but I guess it was your lucky day."
Jess looked at Rory "Guess so." he said as he tried to get up, but it wasn't easy seeing as how Rory was still on top of him. "Um Rory...how lucky am I?" he questioned as he gave her a weird look waiting for her to move. "not that I'm complaining, but perhaps next time you could find someplace more comfortable to attack me, you know like a couch, or a bed, or even a nice fluffy rug." he wiggled his eyebrows at her.
A/N Part II: I'd like to just say thanks to everyone who reviewed the first part and I'm hoping that maybe we'll get twice as many reviews for this part. We all really appreciate your feedback, oh and between swimchic2 and I we hope to get a chapter or more up each day since we have a lot written just not typed and uploaded. So in the meantime feel free to check out our sole fics, which might seem a bit more in character and a bit more realistic for those of you who weren't particularly fond of this story.
