CHAPTER 3

Later that night Rory went home to find Lorelai sitting on the couch with some popcorn, obviously waiting for her daughter to return.

"Hey. Your just on time" Lorelai greeted

"umm…yea. I had nothing better to do. So I came home. Where's Michael?"

"he wont be back until later tonight. And stop trying to avoid the subject."

"what subject? There was never a subject entitled. I was just told to be here for a talk. That doesn't mean that there's a specific subject involved."

"oh yes there is missy. How about the subject of this new boy Jess. I saw your face once he came downstairs"

"what are you talking about? I was exactly the same" Rory said as she turned her head slightly.

"Ha! Your turning your head cause you know that your lying but you don't want me to know that your lying because you actually have a thing for this boy and you don't want me to know!"

"I cant help it! He is just so…."

"gorgeous, cute, bad boyish"

"Yea. And he is so smart and he reads, and he makes me feel things that I have never experienced and he gives me these tingly things in my stomach and oh my god we kissed!"

"what! Hold on. Stop and rewind! You kissed him!"

"well no. but almost. We would have if that stupid bell didn't ring! We were just about to until the bell and suddenly we repelled like magnets."

"how did this happen?"

"the bell rang and we back-"

"no I mean the kiss thing"

"oh well we were sort of just talking and he made me blush so I turned so he wouldn't notice but he did so he stood in front of me and grabbed my cheeks and suddenly I lost my breath and I couldn't stop looking into his eyes and right when we were about to….the stupid bell"

"aw hunny! You have your first crush"

"WHAT! No I don't. this is just jess. He is my friend that I almost kissed"

"No hunny. This is Jess. The guy that you have a crush on. No matter how much you deny it."

"no I don't….do i?"

"oh my god. Rory your finally having your first crush!"

"no. I have had other crushes"

"that boy in grade three doesn't count. He was gross"

"he was cute. He always made me a sandwich and asked me to marry him."

"eww if you had of married him then I would have killed myself! I wouldn't stand having him as a son in law"

"you would have grown to like him"

"no I wouldn't"

"yes you would"

"nu-uh"

"yea-huh"

Suddenly the front door opened and Michael appeared.

"Hey my favourite girls" Michael greeted them.

"Hey" they both said in sync

"now back to Jess" Lorelai said. "you definitely have a crush on him"

"no I do-" rory started but got interrupted by Michael.

"Hey who is Jess?"

"oh a boy that Rory likes" Lorelai answered

"aw does Rory have a crush?" Michael asked

"No Rory does not have a crush" Rory said

"Then why are we talking about Jess if you don't have a crush on him?" Michael asked.

"OK I give up! I have a crush on jess! There I admitted it" Rory said as she got up and threw a pillow at her mother and her step father.

"Hey hey missy. I have popcorn in my hands! You cant hit me" Lorelai laughed as Rory continued to hit her. Lorelai threw the popcorn aside and began having a pillow fight. Michael laughed as he watched is wife and a young woman who was practically his daughter fight and attack each other with pillows. The doorbell rang and Rory and Lorelai ignored it so Michael got up and answered it. He walked to the door and opened it. Standing on his porch was a tall, black haired boy.

"Hi. Is Rory home?" The boy asked

"umm she is otherwise occupied" Michael laughed as he opened the door to let the boy see the pillow fight going on in the living room. A smile appeared to the boy's face. "Who are you?" Michael asked the mystery boy.

"Oh, I'm Jess"

"Oh so your Jess. Come in" Michael said as he let Jess in. "RORY! A boy named jess is here to see you" Michael shouted to the girls. Rory slipped on the rug once 'jess' was mentioned.

"WHAT!" Rory shouted embarrassed. Lorelai smiled.

"Hi Jess. Its nice to see you again!" Lorelai said

"its nice to see you. Umm can I talk to Rory for a couple of minutes?" Jess asked

"yea" Lorelai and Michael said in sync. Rory finally got up from the behind the couch.

"Umm can you give me like two minutes?" Rory asked nervously. Jess nodded and rory walked to her room. Lorelai followed her daughter into her room.

"oh so you REALLY like him!" Lorelai smiled

"Yes! Now quick. I need my brush" Rory said as she quickly grabbed her brush and began to brush her long brown locks. Lorelai started laughing.

"oh my god you really like him! You really do have a thing for this guy"

Rory smiled and started laughing with her. The girls started jumping up and down. They were squealing like little teenage girls that just discovered the hottest boy in the school had a huge crush on them. Rory started calming down.

"mom I have to go!" Rory smiled as she opened her door.

Once Lorelai and Rory came to the door, Jess and Michael had smiles on there face. They could both hear the girls screaming and jumping from the other room.

"Hey whats with all the smiles?" Lorelai asked oblivious

"umm nothing" Michael said as he tried to contain his laugh.

"you want to walk?" jess asked Rory. Rory nodded.

"I will be back later" Rory said as she and jess walked out the door.
