Chapter 6 Only a Gilmore

"Don't go!" Lorelai whaled as she clung to Rory at the airport.

"I think it's a little late, for that Mom." Rory cried.

"It's never too late!" Lorelai reasoned, just as Rory's flight was called.

"They already have my luggage!"

"I'll buy you new clothes!"

"Mommy! I'll miss you!" Rory cried, hugging her mother closer as they called the flight again.

"I'll miss you too kid! Now go before it becomes too hard!"

"Love you Mom."

"Love you kid." Lorelai called as she watched Rory turn and head towards her plane. "It's just six weeks, I'll be fine!" she announced to no one and headed out to her jeep.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"I'm sad and alone!" Lorelai cried to Sookie, as the chef bounced around the kitchen of the inn.

"Hon, it's only been four weeks." Sookie tried to comfort.

"Yes! Four weeks of nothing! Soon the cats will hear!"

"The cats?" Sookie suddenly stopped working and stared at her friend, bewildered.

"Yes! The cats. They'll hear I'm a sad spinster living alone without child or man. Then suddenly the cats will begin flocking to my house!"

"You're insane, but you're not a spinster. Rory will be home before you know it."

"Yeah, easy for you to say, Mrs. Married. Don't have to worry about cats when you've already gotten yourself clubbed by your choice caveman!"

"Learn to a start fire. Then all the cavemen will want you." Sookie smirked.

"That's a good-" Lorelai was cut off by the ringing of her cell phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey Lor."

"Chris."

"We should-" Lorelai immediately hung up the phone.

"Wishing for cats suddenly?" Sookie joked tentatively.

"Yeah." Lorelai sighed, looking at her phone.

"Still not talking to him then?"

"I'm not ready." Her phone rang again, she didn't answer.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Rory sat in her very clean, very cramped dorm room. She'd been here for a month and nothing worthwhile had happened. She wasn't having a bad time pre se but there is only so much political jargon one can take. Paris, on the other hand, was in her element. She showed so much joy at winning debates it almost scared Rory.

Since she'd been there she'd gotten a nightly call from her mother and weekly letter from Dean. Everyone seemed good, if not bored. Rory had hoped coming to Washington would have helped clear her mind, helped make sense of the Jess/Dean situation. It hadn't. If anything it just made her feel guilty. If she loved Dean then why couldn't she get Jess out of her head?

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Lorelai slowly made her way into the diner. She hated coming here without Rory. She needed coffee and she knew the only way to get it was to face the ice berg straight ahead known as Luke Danes. It been a long day so far. Chris had been calling constantly and Lorelai had dodged everyone. She needed the coffee.

"Coffee?" Jess asked filling her cup as she sat down.

"Angel."

"Luke! Take her! She's freaking me out!" Jess called to Luke and backed away from Lorelai.

"Lorelai." Luke greeted.

"Luke." She mocked.

"What can I get you?" he said coolly.

"Your love and forgiveness."

"So your usual then?"

"Yep." Lorelai sighed defeated.

"Coming right up." Just then Lorelai's cell phone went off yet again. "Take it outside." Luke demanded.

"No need. I'm not answering it."

"Why?"

"I don't want to."

"Avoiding someone?"

"Drop it."

"Well at least turn it off." he ordered angrily.

"What if Rory calls?"

"Either answer it or turn it off!"

"It'll stop in a minute."

"I don't need you bothering my entire diner because you're avoiding someone; most likely your mother!"

"Go to hell, Luke!" Lorelai yelled jumping up and storming out.

"Same to you!" he bellowed after her.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Jess sat moping about the apartment. The Smith's blared in the background as he idly sat trying to read his book. Jess was bored, plain and simple. Without Rory around he had nothing to do but read and work at Luke's. A sad, pathetic existence if you asked him.

New York was always busy. He was hardly ever bored there. He partied, drank, smoked, got laid, and still read more than most people do in a lifetime. He missed the fast paced world of the city and sometimes he asked himself why he even came back. Then he'd remember Rory and all was clear. He came back for her and he'd be damned if he left before he got her.

A loud bang brought Jess out of his reverie. Luke came marching up the steps and slammed the door.

"I just broke dishes because of you!" he roared at Jess.

"That's interesting. I was sitting here the whole time but if you choose to believe that your clumsiness is my fault, I'll let you." Jess replied dryly and turned the page of his book.

"Don't give me your attitude!"

"Without my attitude where would we be?"

"Are you sick?"

"No."

"Crippled?"

"No."

"Harmed in any ways?"

"No."

"Then why aren't you working?"

"Don't want to."

"Oh in that case," Luke sighed and walked to the door and threw it open, "Get your ass downstairs and work!"

"Still upset about your little fight with Lorelai, I see." he responded not looking up and making no effort to move.

"You're gonna get your ass kicked if you don't get to work!"

"I was trying to bond here, but I see you don't like to share." Jess retorted finally putting down his book.

"Share huh?" Luke considered "You want to share?"

"I'm here to listen, Uncle Luke." Jess mocked

"So why so mopy lately? Missing a certain Brunette?"

"You bet I am! I can not believe Cordy is off of Angel! How will I go on?"

"No. I was thinking about one you know a little better. You know, staying in Washington, DC, goes to Chilton, has a mother with the same name. Kissed you at Sookie's wedding. Ringing any bells?" Luke smirked.

"Miss flirting with Lorelai? Ever think of just ending the fight?" Jess glared.

"Wait. Wait. What's that I hear?" Luke growled "Abrupt subject change? I thought you wanted to share?"

"No. I wanted you to share."

"Do you miss Rory, Jess?"

"Do you want to be fighting with Lorelai, Luke?"

"Don't rush to open up now Jess."

"Fine. I miss her."

"Aw! You're just so cute." Luke mocked pinching his cheek.

"Stop! Don't touch me!" Jess glared and knocked Luke away. "At least I admit it."

"Fine. I don't enjoy fighting with Lorelai."

"Now was that so hard?"

"So what is going on with you and Rory?"

"Were having a secret affair and she's pregnant with my child."

"Not funny!"

"But we're naming it after you Uncle Luke!" Jess smiled

"Can it Jess! I don't wanna hear about you even thinking of getting Rory in trouble."

"But you wanted to share!"

"Correction. You did."

"You did agree."

"So I'm gonna go out on a limb and say nothing happened."

"Huh."

"Jess...did ..you...touch...her?" Luke glared tentatively.

"Yes, and in a very inappropriate way." Jess smirked.

"Jess, I'm warning you."

"No I did not touch Rory. Not in the way you mean."

"Thank God!" Luke breathed a sigh of relief, " Wait, you have touched her?"

"Maybe."

"Jess, she has a boyfriend."

"He's an idiot!"

"Still her boyfriend."

"Have you seen them together? There like grandparents!"

"Still Rory-Dean equals boyfriend-girlfriend. Rory-Jess equals never gonna happen."

"Hey!" Jess yelled "She's kissed me since the wedding!"

"Really?" Luke asked skeptically.

"No. Made it up."

"Fine. When?"

"I may have kissed her."

"Thought so." Luke smirked.

"She kissed back." Jess defended.

"Surprised?" Luke offered

"Whatever."

"You've just got to let her be, Jess."

"Huh, cause that'll work."

"She's with Dean."

"At the moment!"

"What's your plan Jess?" Luke asked sitting next to him. "Gonna win her over by being mean to Dean and having friendly conversations about books with her."

"It's worked all right so far! She's kissed me three times."

"She kissed you once."

"She kissed me back twice!"

"Move on. Give up. Meet a SINGLE girl."

"Sorry, only want a Gilmore."

"I think Lorelai's free." Luke offered as Jess stood up and headed for the door.

"Isn't that your territory?" Jess smiled and headed down to work. Luke sat and sadly shook his head.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"Have you seen my red pen?" Lorelai asked a very annoyed Michel, as she hunted around the front desk of the Independence Inn.

"If I had I wouldn't tell you." he replied dryly.

"With charm like that, I see how you get all the ladies." Lorelai responded, annoyed.

"I see no ladies."

"Mich-" Lorelai started but was cut off by the phone ringing "Gonna answer that?"

"No."

"And I wonder why I pay." Lorelai glared and answered the phone. "Independence Inn, Lorelai speaking."

"Talk to me." Lorelai immediately slammed the phone down at the sound of Chris's voice.

"Why did you do that?" Michel asked.

"Why don't you do your job?" Lorelai glared as the phone rang again "Answer it."

"No. It's most likely the person you just hung up on."

"Fine." Lorelai snarled and answered. "Independence Inn, Lorelai speaking."

"You can't avoid me forever, Lorelai."

"I can try." she replied and hung up.

"I'm taking a break." she told Michel and walked out.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

The diner was empty. The lunch crowd was gone and the dinner crowd was far from coming. This was by far the best time to work in the diner, Jess decided. When people actually did come in they only ordered fries or onion rings. So Jess could just sit and read, which he normally did but now he was getting paid!

He was about to tell Caesar to watch the diner while he had a smoke break when charging through the door came Bag Boy and his posse of jocks.

"What do you want?" Jess asked grouchily as the group of boys sat down.

"You're not getting a tip with that attitude." Dean smirked.

"You're not getting food with that attitude." Jess glared. "So let me ask again, slower this time so you'll understand. What. Do. You. Want? "

"Better service."

"Don't make me ask again Bag Boy."

"Don't push me Jess." Dean warned.

"I'm just trying to do my job. So order something or get the hell out."

"Burgers and fries." Dean glared.

"Good boy. Bet if Rory was here you'd get a cookie!"

"Don't talk about Rory."

"What?" Jess replied innocently.

"Just stay away from her. Don't even say her name."

"I don't think Rory would like you banning people from talking to her." Jess smiled

"I'm warning you. Stay away from Rory." Dean glared.

"Or what?"

"See what happens if you don't."

"You're supposed to smack me with a glove first."

"What?" Dean's bewildered friend asked, confused.

"Nothing, food's coming right up." Jess smiled and went to put in the order.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

It was late and the apartment was dark. Jess sat scratching something down on a piece of paper. He stuck it to the fridge and walked to his side of the apartment. Reaching down he grabbed a small bag and his car keys.

He knew this was a stupid idea. He was completely aware of it the entire drive there. But all he thought as he bought his ticket and boarded the plane was

"Dean should have never challenged me."
