I hope ya'll like it so far. Thanks for the reviews, keep 'em coming. hehe
It was late, by the time Lorelai had actually arrived at The Independence Inn, so after her instructions, she went back to the tiny shack, in the back. She couldn't stop smiling, the first few hours she was there. She walked back into the shack, and looked around. Lorelai, who had always been a creative person, was grateful to have a home, and a job, but she definitely couldn't live in a place that looked like this. She began taking notes of what she'd like to pick up with the small 100 dollars a week she'd be getting. It obviously wasn't a lot of money, but she was also getting room and board, so she was ecstatic.
It was 6:00 in the morning, and Emily finally regained herself. She had stopped crying for several hours now, but still couldn't find the strength to get out of bed. Richard hadn't slept either. Since about two o'clock in the morning, Richard had been in a daze. Finally, though, Emily got up out of bed and worked her way to the bathroom. When she returned to the bedroom, her hair and make-up were once again perfect. She looked over at Richard, and saw that he was still in a daze.
"Richard?" She asked, concerned. He didn't answer her. "Richard!" She asked more powerfully, not wanted to be ignored. Richard snapped out of his daze, and looked at Emily with a smile.
"I should go have Tina fix some breakfast." He said, cheerfully, not wanting to discuss his daughter. He had always found it much easier to just ignore a problem.
"Oh, all right," Emily said, quietly, as she was a bit confused. Richard walked downstairs quietly, and slowly. Tina appeared at the bottom of the stairs.
"Your breakfast is ready, Mr. Gilmore, should I go call Mrs. Gilmore?"
"No, that's quite all right, I'll get her."
"Okay Mr. Gilmore." She said, with a smile firmly planted on her face. Richard walked upstairs, and back into his bedroom, where Emily was sitting on her bed, once again.
"It turns out Tina has already prepared breakfast." He said, walking into the room, before he saw Emily's eyes full of tears. "Oh, are you alright?" He asked, worried about his wife.
"What? Oh yeah, I'm fine." She said, as she wiped her tears and walked quickly to the door. "Let's go have that breakfast," she said, with a big fake smile.
"Lets" Richard replied. They both walked downstairs in silence and fake happiness. When they reached the bottom of the steps, both of them couldn't help but look around. It seemed so much quieter without Rory, it was an eerie feeling. Neither of them tripped over a baby stroller or stuffed animal on the way downstairs, something they had grown accustom to. The huge house felt empty to both of them.
They both continued their way to the dining room, and sat down to eat their breakfast, still in silence.
At the Independence Inn, Lorelai was just waking up, as it was nine o'clock in the morning. She began a newly formed routine. Wake up Rory, bathe and dress Rory and then shower and dress herself. Then they both went over to the Inn for a quick breakfast. When breakfast was over, Lorelai began cleaning. Room 1, room 2, room 3, they were all a breeze. Mia had told Lorelai that the other maid, who had been working there for 10 years, takes about 3 hours to clean 15 rooms; Lorelai took 2 and a half.
Mia, who was very impressed, fed her a lunch, and let her free for the day. Lorelai who was curious about the town, she now called home walked through Stars Hollow.
Luke's Diner, Al's Pancakes, Miss Patty's dance Studio, a book store, Kim's Antiques, Dose's Market. This town had everything, she said to herself, as she passed each and every store. It wasn't long before she saw a small Arts And Crafts shop. She walked in, looking around at the different things. Lorelai knew that with her budget she would only be able to buy a little at a time, and would probably have to put more work into it. She looked at the huge rolls of cloth. She found one with a funky, pink and green design.
"How much for a square foot of this one?" She asked the tall, young, odd looking man behind the counter.
"3 dollars, but with every 10 feet, you get a dollar off." Kirk told her, matter-of-factly. Lorelai only had 2 small windows she would need to cover so she decided on 10 feet. She walked out of the store, glowing. This place is amazing. She thought to herself, and made her way over to Luke's Diner.
When she got there, she noticed the sign on top of the door, which she hadn't noticed before, but the inside looked like diner, so she walked in.
"Is this a diner or a hardware store?" Lorelai asked, genuinely confused, but trying to be funny. A young Luke looked up at the unfamiliar voice, belonging to a beautiful girl, a few years younger than him, holding a baby.
"A diner" he told her. The diner was busy that day, so he couldn't waste his time daydreaming about this girl.
"Good, can I have a cup of coffee then?"
"Do you have money?"
"Why would I come in here asking for some coffee if I didn't have money?"
"I don't know. This town is full of strange people" Luke told her, as he poured her a cup of coffee.
"I know," Lorelai said, with a smile across her face. "I love it." Luke laughed at Lorelai, he was intrigued.
I know this is kind of an odd place to stop it but, I wanted to get the second chapter up right away and I wasn't exactly sure whereI should stop it so, I did my best. Please review!
