Rory answered the phone at the exact same time that Jess answered his. On the other end of Rory's call was her mother talking so fast that Rory couldn't understand her. Rory got up and walked outside.
"Mom, slow down, I know we were born to talk fast but I can't understand a word you're saying."
"Oh, sorry honey. I just got a call from Sarah, the girl that's rooming with you now. Well, she just told me that you went off with one of your ex- boyfriends. I just wanted to make sure that you're okay."
"Yeah, I'm okay. I'm just having some lunch," Rory reassured her mother.
"Can I ask who it is and you won't be mad?"
"I'm with Jess. As you know, I'm in Philly for a week and I ran into him yesterday. We got to talking and he showed me and Sarah around and then he and I made plans for lunch today. It's really good catching up with him."
"Promise me that you won't do anything that's going to end with you getting hurt."
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I'll call you back later and let you know how everything went. By the way, you never said if you guys had set a date for the wedding yet or not."
"Oh, it's September 12th."
"Thanks, I'll be sure to let Jess know, seeing how he is Luke's nephew it would only be the right thing to do so he at least has a choice to go."
"I think Luke's asking him to be the best man."
"Okay, in that case, I hope that today doesn't result in me and Jess having an awkward time at your wedding."
"I'll talk to you later. Just go back and eat your food. I don't want you to starve while your gone."
"Don't worry. Bye mom."
Rory hung up her phone and went back inside to sit down with Jess who was just hanging up his phone and looking pleased with himself.
AN: I'm sorry for the short chapter but the next one will be Jess' conversation.
