Chapter 5

The next morning, Rory woke up with the worst hangover she has ever had in her life.

She tried to get up but was pulled back by a strong arm that was wrapped around her waist; she turned to look at the culprit to find Dean.

Rory's POV:

He looked extremely cute; he has the cutest smile on his face. I turned around to face him and just stared at him for a while, trying to save the moment.

"You know it's rude to stare at someone when they're sleeping." Dean said with his eyes closed and a huge grin on his face.

"In my defence you look really cute when you sleep so..." I say blushing a little.

"Good morning." Dean said opening his green eyes, still holding the huge grin.

"Good morning." I say looking into his eyes. We lay in silence for a while, not wanting to ruin the moment that we were having.

After a while, Dean finally breaks the silence by asking how I'm feeling.

"I feel like a sledgehammer is repeatedly ramming into my skull, but you lying here with me is making it feel more like a regular hammer." I say with a shy grin on my face.

"Well glad to be of service, I should probably get going though. I need to get back to the kids before Gen goes to work." Dean says with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Oh okay, is everything okay Dean? You seem down..." I ask cautiously.

"Yeah, just me and Gen aren't really getting along at the moment. She goes out at night and doesn't come back until early hours of the morning and I think she might be cheating on me... I don't know why I'm telling you this I'm sorry." Dean rants to me.

"Dean...I'm sorry, if you ever need to talk to someone you know I'm always a phone call away." I say sincerely.

"Yeah I know, thanks Rory. I'll speak to you later."

"Okay, bye Dean."

"Bye Rory." He says walking out of my room.

Back to 3rd person:

Lorelai was suddenly awoken by the front door shutting, curious as she was, she went downstairs to see who had either left or entered.

"Rory?" Lorelai asks as she gets closer to Rory's room, seeing that her door was open she knocks on it and walked in not seeing Dean beside her. So it was Dean who left.

"Hey, how you feeling?" Lorelai asks her hungover daughter.

"Like I got ran over by a truck."

"That bad huh? Hey where's Prince Charming?" Lorelai jokes, nudging Rory.

"He had to leave to get back to his kids before his wife left for work." Rory said with a sad look on her face.

"And that hurts?"

"No, he told me that his wife has been going out every night and coming home at early hours of the morning, he said he thinks she's cheating on him." Rory rants.

After talking about the night with Lorelai, Rory decided she should probably shower and take some Advil for her hangover.

After her shower Rory got ready (sweatpants, a large hoodie and a messy bun) she opened the medicine cabinet and grabbed the Advil bottle, she shook the bottle expecting to hear the pills rattle but no sound happened.

She opened the bottle to see they were out. Guess I need to go and get some then.

So she called up to her mom that she was going to the store to get Advil.

When she got Doose's she went to the medicine isle and found the Advil. She was on her way to the checkout when someone called her name.

"Rory Gilmore?" A woman, mid-thirties, questioned.

"Yes?" Rory says with a smile on her face, being polite.

"Listen to me, I want you to stay away from my husband got it? She says with a grimace on her face.

"Excuse me? Who are you?" Rory says politely.

"I'm Gen, Dean's wife and I'd appreciate it if you didn't call him or go near him again otherwise you'll regret it. Understood?" 'Gen' threatens.

Rory was surprised by this encounter, just wanting to go home, take some Advil and cry herself to sleep.

"Uh-yeah understood." She stutters. Gen, obviously liking the answer, leaves with a huge grin.

What just happened?
