Chapter 2
Weddings are supposed to be wonderful, romantic even great, but a winter wedding in Stars Hollow, well that was something different, especially if it was Lorelai's wedding, with no other than Luke as the groom. It was spectacular to say the least. It was an almost Christmas wedding and everybody in Stars Hollow was invited, even the closest towns were invited, Lorelai wanted it to be big, and beautiful, but still romantic and intimate with all the people she loved, including her parents, even if she didn't want to admit it, it was important for her to be given away by her father, and count on her mother to be one of the bridesmaids.
Her dress was beautiful, simple but stylish, a Lorelai you might say. Well in fact she design it herself, with the bridesmaids dresses, Rory, Sookie and her mum. Dressed in the same color, blue but in different designs, according to their ages and figures. Luke was in a dark grey suit with a blue tie and white shirt. Handsome and formal but not uncomfortable. And the best man was yet to arrive.
Lorelai broke the news to Rory slowly at her bachelorette party:
-"You know, Rory, Luke's best man, right?"
-"Not really, who is it?" she said surprise how her mother could bring that up in the middle of a strip club.
-"Well, honey, Jess is coming to the wedding, and he is Luke's best man." She said trailing of, expecting her to storm of…
-"Mmm. Ok, that is a good thing, I knew he was coming, mum, I run into him, at the airport at my last trip to London," she said casually
-"You did what?" said her mother surprised "you never mentioned it,"
-"Well it wasn't worth to, she said, and let's drop it and go back to the show" she changed the subject in not a really subtly way.
Rory was surveying all the details at the inn while her mum was getting dress and Sookie was giving the last touches to the food. So when he arrived, they couldn't take their eyes of each other.
Jess was mesmerized on her looks, she looked beautiful, innocent and sexy, a deadly combination for him, he remembered how he fall for her, because she was beautiful, naive and sexy without even knowing it and that was according to him, the best combo ever, throw in there a school uniform and love for books and he was gone. Her dress was strapless and knee long, it accentued her body where it had to be, and insinuated how sexy she was. The color brought up her eyes and she had her hair down in curls with some silver earrings and nothing else. Simple and elegant, but Jess thought very very sensual.
Rory was checking him out, in the open, she felt her face turn red of her bluntness, but she couldn't help it, he was gorgeous. Wearing the same suit as Luke but with the tie a little loose. He looked great, same "it took me three hours and lots of gel to make it look like a I just got up" hair and sexy smirk.
When both finally caught the other staring, smiled timidly as they approached each other:
-"Hey, you look good," he said, reliving a really good memory of a similar wedding many years ago
-"You do to," she said, catching the inside joke and blushing at the thought of repeating the impulse.
-"So, big day, huh?" he said trying to break the ice
-"Yeah, mum is so excited!"
-"I bet she is, this is what we all have been expecting for years,"
-"Yeah, definitely, so how are you?"
-"Good, same old, same old, and you? Any big trips and stories?"
-"Yeah, I love it, is so wonderful to see the world, Stars Hollow seems so small now, I understand how you felt when you first came here from the city."
And before he got the chance to say anything else, they heard a loud cry for help from Michel, and she was of.
The wedding went smoothly, everything was perfect as planned. The ceremony was lovely, and made everybody cry, including Jess, which really surprised Rory when he caught him with teary eyes. She smiled at him, and he smiled back, a truly, real, beautiful, sincere smile.
The reception was wonderful, the food excellent as usual, Sookie cooked for thousands even thought they were not more than 300 people at the Dragon Fly inn, where the reception was taking place.
Lane's Band played, everybody danced, well almost everybody, Rory couldn't convinced Jess to dance with her, he promised, some other time. Beside that they didn't spend too much time with each other. Rory was kept away form him by almost everybody who wanted to talk to her, the daughter of the bride. But they kept glancing at each other all night long. Glances full of desire and promise.
That is why she wasn't surprise to find him at the bridge at the end of the night when everybody was gone and Luke and Lorelai gone to their Honeymoon.
She came bearing cake and he was grateful. They share it in silence. Not an awkward silence but a comfortable one.
He was the first to break it:
-"So are we gonna talk books or are we gonna try and solve something?"
-"Do you think we can?"
-"We can what?"
-"Solve something?"
-"it depends…"
-"On what?"
-"If we wanna"
-"Do you?" she asked, hesitantly
-"Yeah, "he said regretful
-"Why?" she asked
-"Because you meant, you mean actually, a lot to me, Rory, as a friend, or much more, I don't know, I'm not good at opening up and talking, you know that, but well, maybe it can help, if I try, I know I failed a lot, but it was not all my doing you know?"
-"Yeah, I know, but I don't know you anymore, and you don't know me either, or we do know each other, if our essence is the same, I just don't know what there is to solve or save, or what I want from you, from this," she babbled signaling the gap between them, "cause, we can get a long just fine talking books if we meet at a thanksgiving dinner cause we are family now, you know? But is that enough for us? We used to have so much more, and not so much at the same time, it was hard, and confusing, and new and wonderful, cause we had skin, oh yeah we did, and we had chemistry and a connection, and similar interest, but right now, I don't know what we have," she trailed of…
-"Wow! Breathe, Rory," he said " I don't know either but maybe we can rebuild, our connection, our friendship and work from there to get to know each other again, I don't wanna loose you again you know?" he said almost in a whisper
-"Yeah, me either, so let's agree to be civil and work from here, ok?"
-"Ok" he agreed "it's getting late, are you staying at you place? I mean you mums place or where are you living now?" he wondered how little they knew about each other.
-" I have an apartment on Peach" she said "and you? You are staying at the inn or at Luke's?" she wondered
-"At the diner, yeah," he said getting up and helping her to get up.
So they walked together to her place, slowly around the quiet street of Stars Hollow, both not talking and lost in thoughts.
When they arrived at her place, she asked him, how long was he staying and he said he was living as soon as he got up the next day and she invited him to have breakfast at Luke's before he left, he agreed, "I was going to have breakfast there either way, so meet you there tomorrow, Good Night Ror" and with that he left her standing there, wondering what was all that, and where they were going next with this?
