Our Time Now Chapter 3

A.N: O.K so here's Chapter 3! I have a few short term plans for this story, but who know's where it's actually going! My computer is currently being fixed at the moment, and I went back to school this week, so the updates from me will be way more sporadic. I hope you all enjoy this chapter, and I'll try to update again this weekend! Wow, also I'm sorry this is really short too!

I Got 'Em

"Ready?"

"Ready!"

"Are you sure you have everything?"

"Yes. 100 percent positive."

"Clothes, shoes, bags, your head..."

"Jess! I have everything I could possibly need."

"Good because I'm not turning back this time."

"Oh please, we weren't that far from here."

"We were practically 10 minutes from the state line, Ror."

"Big deal. Besides, it was for something important!"

"I don't see how a pair of brown sandals are deathly necessary."

"See, that's because you're a boy."

"I'm pulling away from the curb now."

"I can see that."

"Driving down the block."

"Uh huh."

"Oh look! A red light, last chance to run back and get those important sunglasses or the pair of socks you love so much."

"You're hilarious. I have the sunglasses and I'm wearing the socks!"

"Of course you are."


"Shorty I can take you thereee!!"

"Must we listen to this?"

"Uh yeah, it's Sean Kingston!"

"And?"

"And, it's good!"

"I'd have to disagree. Where has your taste in music gone, Gilmore?"

"Apparently in the garbage with my taste of men! You're idea of good music is Metallica."

"Hey, number one, that was a long time ago and you liked them then also. Number two, they have some pretty good songs."

"Sure. You get to pick next, but no Metallica."


"So, when-" Jess turned his head to the right and saw Rory leaning against the window, fast asleep. He smiled and shook his head.

Three diners, four bathroom stops and 10 Cd's later they pulled up to the Crap Shack's driveway. Jess turned the engine off and looked to Rory again.

"Hey Ror wake up, we're here." Rory didn't move, but smiled in her sleep. Jess moved to touch her cheek with his thumb.

"Rory!" He said louder and Rory opened her eyes, still filled with sleep.

"Hm?"

"Time to leave the car now, I know you've grown attached but we're here."

"Wow, that was quick!" They both left the car and took their bags out of the trunk, Jess taking his and two of Rory's four. Half way up the front yard, Lorelai ran outside tackling her daughter to the ground. Rory fell back with her mother on top of her, dropping her bags in the process.

"Daughter! Offspring! Fruit of my loins! How I've missed you! Life is so boring with only Luke and a dirty monkey lamp to talk to!"

"O.K, now you're being over dramatic. You've got the coffee maker too!"

Lorelai and Rory got up and hugged again, she looked over at Jess in disbelief.

"Who is that?? Because there is no way in heck that is Jess Mariano."

"In the flesh. Nice to see you again too, Lorelai."

"Oh wow, you grew up."

"It happens."

"Well it happened pretty well for you, my friend." Lorelai have Jess a small one-armed his, then slapped his bicep.

"What was that for?" He rubbed the spot she slapped.

"I hated you for a really long time, just getting the anger out. All gone! You're O.K." Jess gave Rory a look that screamed 'Your mother is insane'

"Makes sense." Rory laughed and picked up the bags from the lawn. "Let's go in!!"

She ran up the steps and through the open door with Lorelai on her heels. Jess followed slowly.

"Lukey!! They're here!" Luke appeared from the kitchen smiling.

"I realized that when you screamed it ten times before. Hey guys."

"Luke!" Rory have him a hug that he warmly returned.

"Hey Jess."Jess hugged Luke also and put the luggage down.

"Hey Uncle Luke, where should we dump these?" Luke snorted.

"This way." Luke took Rory's bags and went in the direction of her old room. Jess grabbed his and went after Luke. Lorelai watched them amused and put her arm around Rory.

"Guess we got our diner men huh?" she smiled.

"Guess so."

"Let's go pick a movie."


Rory glanced at the clock, it was almost 1am. She yawned and nudged her mother who was currently sleeping on her arm. Lorelai moved enough for her to free her.

Rory tiptoed into her bedroom, lying onto the new queen sized bed her mother and Luke had added. Jess was already asleep, and snoring profusely. Not like she minded, he had an amazing sense of calm when he was sleeping.

Her previous boyfriends, Logan specifically, had tossed and turned and talked incoherently, but not Jess. He was also just extremely cute when he slept.

She laughed and put her head on his chest, feeling his arms wrap around her.
