A/N: sorry it took me so long to update, I hop you'll like this chapter, I know, there isn't too much lit interaction, but sadly, he isn't the only person in the world.
So the fluff in the end of the last chapter (I advise you to hit the back button and skim the last chapter, just to refresh you're memory, I had to do that too!) kind of annoyed me, but if you guys want it, or need it, please say so and I will put in some fluff, but like I said, not a lot.
Disclaimer: don't own. If I did, so many things would be different.
On with the story!

Chapter 8: Simone and some Laundry.
So, in conclusion:
It was good.
It was great, actually.
She felt ecstatic.
So, the question:
What are they now?
What's going to happen?
And her biggest worry:
Did she trust him?
Him.

She tossed and turned all night, finished a book, ate counted 47 cracks in her ceiling, and her first thought, when she woke up from a dreamless sleep was: we seriously need to fix our ceiling.
Then her mom came down stairs, and she knew, that now, it was hopeless to even try to sleep. She was making a hell of a wreckage.
Damn.
Is sleep to much to ask?
Lorelai arrived late last night after Jess… Jess! Now she remembered. Her face turned red thinking about the memories of yesterday. And just then her mom came in.
"Hey Rory, I decided than I'm seriously going to buy that toaster, we can't go on eating cold poptarts, it's like eating an uncooked stake! They're alive! So I'll head down to…"
pause
"Rory, why are you blushing?"
Beat.
"it's hot" Rory replied lamely, hey voice shaky.
"oh no, that is not a it's-very-hot-out-here-blush, this is a I-got-kissed-by-a-boy-blush!" Lorelai said, throwing her arms in the air, as if showing Rory the enormity of the situation. "So, either you are having very bad thought, baby, or, you seriously go kissed by a boy? Now who is it?" she continued eagerly, sitting next to her daughter on her tiny bed.
"Mom, relax. Nothing happened, and I don't have a pornographic mind, so please let me get dressed so we can go have breakfast" she sighed.

After Rory got dressed, and Lorelai drank about three cups of coffee, they decided to stay home and eat cold pizza. Rory couldn't cope with seeing him right now.
And Lorelai, believing her stupid 'I want to stay at home and spend some mother-daughter time' agreed.
They watched 'Sex and the City" reruns for a couple of hours and then Lorelai announced that she really need to buy a toaster, because if a child care inspector comes he will definitely sue her for not having a toaster in the house.
Rory gave up.
Maybe sorting her laundry will do some good.
"Black" Jess "Red" Jess "White" Jess "Pink" Jess "Black" Jess, Jess, Jess… Can't concentrate!
Reading? No good, concentration needed.
TV? Nothing to watch.
Oh well.
Sleep.

"Rory! I have fallen in love!" Lorelai shouted as soon she entered the house.
"huh?" Rory said drowsily, where the hell was she?
She heard her mom from the kitchen "I know it's early to meet the family, but Rory's my life, and if you want to be part of my life, than you're part of her's, and besides you won't meet my parents in the near future so this makes up for it…"
"Mom?" Rory shouted from her room.
"Oooh! She's awake! Let's go!"
She appeared at the door, looking intently at Rory.
Rory cleared her throat "yes?"
"Rory, I want you to meet some one." Lorelai said, "And I know, that it's a little to early to get excited, but this is serious. I'm really happy! So please, please support me on this"
"Um… ok" Rory said doubtfully, what the hell was going on here?
"So Rory, meet Simone"
Silence.
"Ahem, mom?"
"Yes dear?"
"You're holding a ladle"
"Yes, I am"
Pause.
"Mom?"
"Yes dear?"
"The ladle's name is Simone?" Rory was surprised.
Her mom fell in love with a ladle?
She knew she was crazy. But fall in love with a ladle?
The male species must really suck.
"Is she my new Daddy?"
"Yes! I am Ladle-sexual!" Lorelai aid excitedly, and started dancing with the ladle.
Such a Kodak Moment.
"did you buy a toaster?" Rory tried to stop the madness.
"yeah! Though it's not pink, it's light blue (don't get jealous Simone), it's very pretty" finally, the dancing stopped!
Rory got out of bed and started getting dressed. "so how did you and Simone meet?"
"Well, I was standing in the toaster isle and I found her on the shelf, some one probably left her there, all alone! I picked her up, and I knew it was true love!" Lorelai squeaked, yes, literarily squeaked.
"mom, calm down, so where is she going to sleep?"
"while you were asleep I made her a little bed in the living room, by the window"
Rory walked to the kitchen, go herself a cookie and went to the living room to see the bed.
"it looks like a cat bed."
"hey! Don't talk like that! She's part of the family!"
"sorry. Welcome Simone." Rory held her hand out to shake the Ladle's.
"oh, she's shy. Some on Simone, she won't bite. There we go. Good girl"
Rory smiled.
"So, Lunch? Luke's?"
Jess
"um… yeah… sure" Rory said uneasily.
"her, you OK?"
"yeah, just excited about having a new daddy"
"right, Simone and I are excited too, so let's go, well actually I have to stop by the inn on the way so meet me there in twenty minutes"
"sure"
"come on Simone"
"you're taking her? So soon?"
"yeah, why not?"
"whatever"
"bye sweets" Lorelai kissed her daughter and left.
Alone.
Again.

the little annoying bell rang above as she entered Luke's, she seriously hoped he won't be here.
"Hi, Rory, where's your mom?" Luke asked.
"Inn stuff"
"Oh"
Rory sat down on a both chair.
"Hey" she heard the dreaded voice behind her.
"hi" she said, probably blushing furiously.
"so, remember that book I told you about? It's upstairs, wanna see?" Jess asked suggestively.
"uh, sure" she forced a smile and followed him.
They walked up the stairs, her hands sweating like mad, she was sure she was going to slip and fall, hit her head on the banister and die.
But, sadly, she didn't.
Jess closed the door behind her.
He smirked.
She just stood there.
He smirked.
She just stood there.
"ok, this shouldn't be weird" she said suddenly.
"right, right, it shouldn't" Jess replied shakily.
"but it is"
"yup"
what was she doing? They couldn't even be in the same room together and talk normally? This is Jess, Jess! This won't work.
"Um, Maybe we shouldn't do this, just go back to the way we were before, you know, just study and stuff. We aren't-"
"No!" he said, loudly.
Beat.
Rory cleared her throat. "What?"
"no" he said more quietly.
"oh"
Silence.
He walked towards her. "this shouldn't be hard" he put a hand on her shoulder.
She smiled.
He pulled her closer.

"So what did you do upstairs?" Lorelai asked.
They were sitting, eating their burgers. After a long debate with Luke whether Simone should get her own chair or not, which ended up with Lorelai winning, as usual.
"oh, Jess gave me a book"
"oh. So where is it?"
Shit.
Rory didn't answer.
"I knew it! Something is going on! Did he kiss you?"
Rory blushed. "Quiet, mom! Yes he kissed me."
"so are you like together now?"
"I don't know?"
"do you want to be together?"
"I don't know"
"did he say anything about being together?"
"no?"
"did you really, really kiss? Or was just like a peck"
"mom!"
"what! Tell me!"
"we really, really kissed"
"oooooh! Simone did you hear that? Rory has a boyfriend!"
"you're mom's talking to a ladle" Jess appeared beside her with coffee.
Rory blushed.
"her name is Simone, Thank you very much" Lorelai pouted.
"Right, sorry"
"she's my new daddy" rory said.
"so what's that I hear about you having a boyfriend"
Oh God.
Shit.
"oh… that's… um…"
Jess smirked, and went to serve the other costomers.
"MOM!" Rory pinched her.
"what was that for!"
"for being you"
