Chapter 2 – The Weekend Visit
It was around 11 am, Lorelai was frustrated. The flowers were to arrive 2 hours ago. Lorelai has been franticly calling Cara's flower delivery every 5 to 10 minutes. Cara herself told Lorelai that the delivery van left the shop at around 8:30 this morning.
Lorelai was really worried now. The wedding reception that was to be held today in the inn will start promptly in an hour and 30 minutes from now.
At 11:05 Lorelai heard the phone ring and was surprise to hear Luke's voice.
"Luke, this day can't get any worse." Lorelai said, while trying not to break down in tears.
"Let me guess, the flowers you ordered haven't arrived yet. And you will do absolutely anything to have the flowers appear at the inn."
"How did you know that?" Lorelai asked.
"Rory told me. Don't worry; those flowers will arrive sooner or later right?" Luke said.
"I would really want those flowers to come sooner, before lunch or before the end of the world decides to happen any day now." Lorelai said while pacing back and forth.
"I'd go for the before lunch one." Luke replied.
"Anyways looks like a have to go. Emma spilled hot coffee on Dorian again. I think this time it was on propose." Luke said.
"You know I think Emma doesn't like Dorian." Lorelai said with a laugh.
"Yeah, I'm getting that feeling."
Lorelai hung up the phone.
5 minutes later Michel screamed "The flowers have arrived." Lorelai and Michel ran outside. "Wow, Michel you run fast. Maybe you should race against a cheetah and see who's faster. If you win we can celebrate by singing karaoke." Lorelai said with her usually quirky sense of humor. Michel ignored the comment, took some of the flowers out of the van and quickly walked inside before Lorelai could say another word. The driver of the van finally came out of the van and walked around the van to Lorelai. When she saw who the delivery guy was she didn't know whether to hug him for finally arriving with the flowers or to kill him for being 2 hours late. Most likely she would have gone with the second choice considering that she wasn't in great terms with the delivery guy. But instead Lorelai just stood where she was and stared at the guy with a shocking look on her face. Quite amusing if you saw what her face looked like at that very moment. "Oh no, you're the delivery guy?" Lorelai said thinking out loud.
"Nice to see you too." the delivery guy said with a laid back attitude.
"Does Rory know you're here?" Lorelai had to ask.
"No, but I hear she's friends with my sister so I don't know. You look weird when you're in shock." The guy said with a laugh.
"You know Jess; I should kill you for not delivering my flowers. I can have you fired you know." Lorelai said with a stern look on her face.
"Hey I was hungry, so I stopped by a place to get some food. I guess I lost track of time." Jess explained like it was nothing to worry about.
"YOU GUESS? I have an inn to run and I need these flowers. Lorelai started screaming.
"Well your flowers are here and your friend already brought all the flowers inside because all you can do is scream at me." Jess answered back.
Jess closed the van, went to the driver's seat and started the engine. A few seconds later Jess was speeding down the road.
"That good for nothing scoundrel." Lorelai said while walking back in to the inn.
Rory and Lane met in front of Luke's diner. While actually in reality they bumped into each other near Luke's diner. Lane and Rory have been best friends for like forever. They haven't seen each other for a while. So they chatted and gossip and talked about every topic they could think of.
"Ok I can't keep it anymore I have some news for you." Lane said excitedly.
"You and Zach are getting married?" Rory answered.
"No... But I wish."
"Um…you now play drums for a famous rock group? "
"Nope"
"Ok I have no idea." Rory gave up
"Dean's back in town, his mom is sick and Dean is here to help at home." Lane informed.
"That's terrible."
"What? That his mom is sick or he's in town?"
"Both" Rory said.
"Speaking of the Dean, there he is."
Dean was walking on the other side of the street. When he saw Lane and Rory staring at him, he quickened his pace and walked faster, almost up to jogging mode.
"He still hates me." Rory said.
"Yeah, I can see that." Lane said.
"You would actually think he would stop this "Hate Rory" phase.
"Nah, this "phase" has been going on for to long, that he might not have remembered a time when you weren't in his life." Lane concluded.
Rory and Lane walked around town.
"So how is Yale life?"
"It's ok. Some of the students are preoccupied. Supposedly some great and brilliant student is transferring into Yale. I hear he's from a wealthy family and had top scores in his old school." Rory said.
"And Logan?"
"No comment."
"What? No comment, Rory you have to give me the dirt between you two."
"It's a bumpy relationship, there's fights, apologizes. There's romance, drama, comedy and excitement." Rory said.
"Sounds great."
"Well not really."
"Oh." Lane said.
"You want the new dirt about what Dean's been up to, don't you." Lane asked.
"What? Oh no, not really. Why would you say something like that?"
"It's obvious; your eyes show interest in "Dean News". All I know is that he's becoming busy with construction jobs."
"Oh." Was all Rory could say.
"And, I haven't told you the juicy part yet."
"Um…ok."
"Never mind. I don't think you would like it."
"Come on Lane. We tell each other everything, just tell me."
"Nope, sorry Rory."
"Ok... Fine."
Rory and Lorelai were eating Chinese takeout for diner on an uneventful Saturday night. The two Gilmore girls were stuffing their mouths with the various different kinds of Chinese food they ordered.
"So what happened at the inn? Did the flowers come on time?" Rory asked after gulping down some water.
"You can say that."
"When I told Emma and Luke about your problem, they gave me a funny look, it's like they know a secret." Rory explained.
"Maybe they know the delivery boy. Wait of course they know the delivery boy, because their related to him" Lorelai said casually.
"What do you mean?"
"Oh nothing." Lorelai said with a sparkle in her eyes.
"Tell me, you know your starting to get terrible at lying." Rory said while looking straight into Lorelai's eyes.
"Ok, just for that comment, I'm not telling you." Lorelai stuck her tongue out.
"You're being immature."
"Oh really! I haven't noticed."
"Mom"
"Rory!"
"MOM"
"RORY!"
"Ok fine don't tell me."
"Fine I won't." Lorelai said with a smile.
"Just give me a hint, a clue, or something." Rory was now impatient.
"But dear daughter I did. You weren't listening."
"Well tell me again."
"OK, he has hair."
"Ha ha, ok next clue."
"Um… I don't know. Oh I got one, he's related to Luke and Emma."
"Jess?"
Lorelai didn't say anything.
"You saw Jess!" Rory's eyes were suddenly bigger with this news. She hasn't seen Jess for a year or two.
"So that explains why Emma and Luke were acting weird." Rory added.
"Luke acted weird? I can't believe I missed that." Lorelai said.
"It was great. He was twitching a little and was walking funny. When I told him the delivery boy didn't come with your flowers." Rory explained.
Rory and Lorelai were laughing at Luke's expense.
"Gosh, next time bring a camera with you at all times. You never know when something like that will happen again."
"Point taken."
"So Jess works for Cara's Flower delivery."
"Well it seems that way." Lorelai said sleepily.
"You need rest."
"Exactly. I have to go to the inn tomorrow. Night." Lorelai said while leaving the kitchen.
"Night." Rory answered back.
Rory heard Lorelai leave the house early Sunday morning. Once she heard the door lock from the outside, she went into the living room to get the phone.
"Hi, Cara's Flowers. Oh Cara, hi. This is Rory Gilmore. Yes Lorelai's daughter. Can you send a dozen roses, to the Gilmore house? Yes that's the right address. Will it be possible for a certain delivery boy to send it? Name? Um…Jess Mariano. He can. Great thanks." Rory was done with the call. Now she started to wait for the delivery to come.
20 minutes after waiting. Rory heard a van pull up to the house. Rory looked through the window and saw "Cara's flower delivery" on the side of the van. Rory saw him got out of the driver's door and walk to the side of the van to get the flowers. Her stomach was doing flips and she started to feel her face grow hot.
Jess rang the doorbell. Rory opened the door within a few seconds. Jess was surprised, shocked and very happy to see Rory. By the look on her face, Rory felt the same way.
"Hi." Rory said quietly.
"Hey" Jess said.
Both of them stand in the doorway, just looking at each other and taking in the moment.
"You ordered flowers?" Jess asked, breaking the quite mood.
"Why yes I actually did." Rory said looking into his eyes. "He always looks quite amazing" Rory said to herself.
"There's no charge, I'll pay for these." Jess said.
"Ok, are you busy?" Rory asked, hoping his answer would be a no.
"Nah, no deliveries for the rest of the morning." Jess answered.
"Well since you're paying for the flowers, why don't you come in for a while." Rory asked.
"Sure."
"So how have you been?" Rory asked curiously.
"Oh, great. I hear you're friends with my sister."
"Yea, Emma and I are great friends." Rory said while nodding her head.
They then had another moment of silence. Jess all of a sudden, kissed Rory, passionately on the lips. Rory didn't fight him off. She had missed him, and was happy to even be near him. Jess finally stopped.
"Why did you stop?" Rory said with her eyes closed.
Jess smiled. Rory opened her eyes and smiled back at Jess.
"Man, Rory I missed this, I missed you, I miss what we had."
"Me too."
Beep, Beep. Jess, sorry if I'm disturbing you, but Pete's van got stuck in a pot hole. And no one else can cover for him, since it's a busy day today. You got to come back to the shop to take the next delivery. A voice said through Jess' phone.
"Guess I got to go." Jess said.
"Ok" Rory said with a sad tone of voice.
"See you around; maybe we can finish this chat."
"Ok."
Jess closed the house door.
Rory heard the van leave.
"I wish we had more time together." Rory said to an empty house.
