"I don't think you can do anything to fix it Jess." Rory said after pondering how to answer, "It's over and talking about it isn't going to fix it."
"Ok." he said simply. He got lost in his thoughts as he continued the drive back toward Rory's house.
They sat in awkward silence for a few minutes. Rory was trying to come up with something to talk about and finally said, "So...today's Monday...and tomorrow's Tuesday." Oh my gosh, why did I say that? I'm such a dork.
"Wow, that school of yours is really somethin," Jess said laughing at Rory, totally understanding her need to break the uncomfortable silence. "So do you want to stop somewhere for coffee or donuts or something?" He asked seeing a sign for a Dunkin' Donuts.
Rory blushed, "Yeah, I would love to get some coffee...and donuts would be good too."
"Coffee and donuts it is," Jess said as he pulled off the main road and headed in the direction of the Dunkin Donuts sign. As he pulled up to the donut shop he had a second thought and asked, "Your mom isn't going to be pissed by this little detour is she?"
"Now that you mention it...we should probably make that to go." Rory said nodding in agreement that, if her mom got home before them, she would probably think that something fishy was going on.
"Right," Jess said as he got out of the car and opened up the various doors for Rory until they were standing at the counter waiting for the guy in the back to come take their order. "So know what you want?" Jess asked as he casually wrapped his arm around Rory's waist.
"Yep. Coffee, black. And 2 sprinkled donuts." Rory said quickly, "Please," she added as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"I'm guessing both of those donuts are for you," Jess said laughing at Rory's apetite even at this time of night. He noticed a bell and started ringing it in a bored fashion until the guy came to the counter to take their order. "Yeah, I'd like, two coffees, one black, one with two sugars, two sprinkled donuts and a chocolate creme donut." Jess rattled off as he used his free hand to fish out his wallet. He handed the guy the money and then pondered how they were going to get out the door and into the car with two coffees and a bag of donuts. "Hey Rory, grab the donuts," Jess said as he took the coffee away from her gently and took his own coffee and used his back to open the door for her.
"Sir, yes sir!" Rory said saluting and then quickly grabbed the bag as they walked out the door.
"Very funny," Jess responded sarcastically as he backed through the door after Rory. They got to the car, and Jess put the cups on the roof as he opened the door for Rory, helped her in, handed her her cup and then went around to the other side and got in. "All set?" he asked her.
"Yep," Rory said nodding and taking a sip of her coffee, "Thank you for the coffee and donuts."
"Sweets for my sweet," Jess said in a pathetic attempt at a British accent. He noticed Rory give him a strange look, "sorry just reread Jane Eyre the other night and kinda pictured a modern version of Rochester saying something cliché like that, guess I need some more work on the accent." He put the key in the ignition and backed out of the spot and headed back toward Stars Hollow. "Mind handing me a donut," he asked as he took a sip from his own cup, he swallowed then continued, "unless you rather take the wheel."
"So are you comparing yourself to Mr. Rochester?" She asked frowning as she handed him his donut. "Because you are nothing like Mr. Rochester...Does that make me Jane Eyre?"
"huh," Jess said pretending to ponder that question while he munched on his donut. "I'd say Jane pales in comparison, and just to be clear, is it a good thing that I'm not like Rochester?"
"Well, I wouldn't really mind being like Jane, just as long as you don't think that you're like Mr. Rochester...well you could be...intellectually maybe but..." Rory didn't want to tell him why he wasn't like Mr. Rochester, but figured that he'd trap her into it anyway.
Jess glanced over at her, "but what Rory?" he asked her simply waiting for her to continue.
Rory squirmed..."Well, it's just that everyone thinks that Mr. Rochester is, well, ugly." She finally said blushing.
Jess gasped, "why Rory I do believe that was a compliment." He laughed, "so you think I'm...not ugly," Jess was enjoying watching her squirm.
Rory blushed, "No...You're not so bad" She said after once again squirming.
"This is all about the hair again isn't it?" Jess tried to sound frustrated as he asked her.
Rory laughed, "Shave your head, and we'll find out." She tried to picture him bald and started cracking up, "No, I change my mind...don't do it!" She said after she got a hold of herself.
"See it is about the hair!" Jess said sounding exasperated. He pretended to sulk in his chair.
Rory smirked, "No, it's not ALL about the hair...it's just that if you didn't have hair, then your face would look...a little less attractive." She said blushing.
"And then I'd be just like Rochester," Jess said sighing, "well that's okay Rory, as long as you'd still be my Jane."
"Of course I would," She said smirking, "But...You don't think that I'm like Jane do you?"
"You're smart and brilliant and beautiful," Jess said hoping that that answer would satisfy her question since he figured she would have to pay him back for all the squirming he put her through with his Rochester question.
Rory smiled, "And Jane was...what?" She asked thinking that she wasn't gonna let him off that easy.
"Oh I'm sorry what I just said, that described Jane almost perfectly," Jess said deciding to try to joke his way out of a serious answer, "you my dear, well you are a coffee-holic who likes to hog the donuts."
"No fair!" She exclaimed, "I gave you a real answer! How am I not like Jane???"
"Take it easy Ror, I was just kidding." Jess took a breath, "Okay I think that you are in someways kinda like Jane, the whole smart and pretty thing, but there is so much more to you that makes you entirely unique and special and just much much more."
"Aww, how sweet." Rory said smiling and taking a bite of her donut.
Jess finished his coffee and threw the empty cup into the back, "Next stop Stars Hollow," he said as he saw a sign for the town fast approaching.
Rory chugged her coffee and followed Jess's previous actions. "Home sweet home...NOT!" She said laughing.
Jess turned to her surprise evident on his face, "Rory?" he asked cocking one eyebrow up, "what did they put in your coffee?"
"They drugged me up!" She said laughing, "No, it's not that I don't love my home, and my mom...it's just that she will nag, and nag, and nag.....to infinity. And she will probably try to find a snag in our story."
"Huh" Jess nodded a few times to himself, "well I guess I could kidnap you, but the end result would probably just be more nagging." He shrugged, "so got a plan or are you just going to plead insanity?"
Rory smirked, "I have no plan...except maybe to try to avoid everything that has to do with my arm and/or you."
"So planning on pleading the fifth?" Jess asked, "so when she does the whole shining the bright light in your eyes, refuses food and drink, and beats you with a phone book you're still going to keep quiet about the whole thing?"
Rory grinned, "I, Rory Gilmore, solemnly swear, to remain quiet as a...monk...or a nun in my case even if I am beaten or starved to death," She said seriously.
Jess laughed, "I feel like I should salute you or somethin," he bit his lip thinking then decided to say, "Ma'am, yes ma'am. Of course you do realize that a few hours without coffee and you'll sing like a bird."
"I will not! I can be very quiet if I want to...But if I'm to quiet then she'll think that somethings up...so I just won't say anything about you. And if she says something then I'll quickly change the subject." Rory said nodding to herself. "I'll play it safe."
"okay." Jess said hoping that Rory would really be able to pull this off.
