Chapter 18
Rory was sitting in her hotel room in Copenhagen. It was rainy and her mother went out in search of decent coffee. The room was forced upon them by her grandparents.
They asked them to pick two cities in Europe to have hotel rooms in. They picked Copenhagen and Prague. They weren't sure how the Danish and Czech Republican hostel sites would be.
Rory was desperately missing Jess. Apparently, his clothes and margin-thoughts were not enough. She wanted to call but she also didn't want to be seen as one of those girls who called her boyfriend because she couldn't live without him.
But, in all reality she was miserable. When she was with her mother, she tried to mask it, but Lorelai could tell she missed him.
Rory couldn't take it anymore. She dialed 0 to call the front desk. "Front desk." The person answered.
"Hello, could you tell me how much money it would cost me to call someone in the United States?"
"Yes, what is your room number?"
"1086."
"Well, it wouldn't cost anything."
"Excuse me."
"The person who is paying for this room says they will pay for any phone calls."
"Really?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Thank you."
"Your welcome." The woman at the front desk said and Rory hung up.
She picked up the phone again and dialed the number to Luke's with much confusion. "Hello." Luke answered sleepily.
"Hey Luke, it's Rory. Did I wake you?"
"Rory, no, well yeah, but it's okay. How are you calling, isn't it a lot of money to call over here from Europe?"
"My grandma and grandpa said they would pay for any calls."
"Oh, did you want to talk to Jess?"
"Yes, but don't tell him it's me."
"Okay, have a good time."
"Thanks, Luke." Rory said and Luke handed a half-asleep Jess, the phone.
"Okay, this better be something good, or else I am going to beat the hell out of whoever is calling." Jess answered, not aware that the person on the phone was Rory.
"Jess, it's Rory."
"Rory?" Jess shot up.
"Yeah."
"How are you? Is something wrong?"
"I'm fine, nothing's wrong, I just wanted to call."
"Oh, I've missed you."
"I've missed you too."
"It's boring without you here."
"Of course."
"What have you been reading?"
"I just finished re-reading The World According to Garp."
"Ah, Irving. Excellent writer."
"Well, that's why we picked him for my essay, remember?"
"How could I forget? It took us hours to pick one."
"What have you been doing?"
"Just working, really. There's not much else to do without you here."
Rory blushed. "I have to go and so do you. You have to get to the diner in the morning."
"I know."
"I love you."
"I love you too, now let me get back to sleep."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Rory hung up feeling much better by having heard Jess' voice. Lorelai arrived shortly after. "Rory, you realize that there is no coffee in ALL of Europe thateven compares to Luke's."
"Mom, we've only been gone from Stars Hollow for a week and we still have to go to Paris, Istanbul, and Prague."
"So."
"Well, you have plenty of opportunities to find half way decent coffee."
"Still. So, where do you want to go?"
"I want to go to The Royal Library."
"What's so special about it?"
"It's the national library of Denmark and is the largest and most important library in all of Scandinavia."
"Oh, well we can go, as long as we can get a hot dog and go shopping after. Because, you know Copenhagen is known for their hot dog stands throughout the city."
"Are you serious?"
"As a heart attack. And, don't forget the shopping."
"Of course."
"They've got Prada, Max Mara, Louis Vuitton, Cerutti, Mulberry, Chanel, Malboro, Karen Millen, Hermès and Boss."
"And, how exactly are we going to afford that stuff?"
"Your grandmother gave me one of her credit cards and said for us to buy anything we wanted. She said she wants your first European trip to be the best." Lorelai stated with a childish grin.
"Yeah, but buying expensive designer clothes and shoes is not my idea of the best vacation."
"Rory, it's mine so just go with it."
"Alright."
"Oh, I love you."
"Let's go before I change my mind."
"Okay."
