Chapter 13- Brad would have remembered
The next day, around 12:30, the girls are walking down the street with bags in their hands, coming from a morning of shopping.
"I can not believe how much stuff we got!"
"You can never have to many shoes!"
"You're turning into Carrie Bradshaw."
"As long as I don't have to be blond it's ok. She had all the pretty clothes. And you can write all my columns for me so I wouldn't have to do anything but shop and look pretty. So are we going at Luke's before I have to go to work?"
Rory looked at her watch and saw that she still had almost an hour before meeting Jess.
"Sure. Wait, are you doing this because that way I can carry all the bags home?"
"Maybe. But I can't carry them any longer. I think my arms are going to stretch and I'll become the crazy long-armed lady and all the kids will laugh at me."
"You can always run away and join the circus."
"But what will you do without me?"
"I think I'll survive."
"No you won't. Tell me you need your mommy or I will…I will…I don't know but it will be bad and painful. I know! I'll make you go to dinner alone Friday!"
"Shoot! I forgot about dinner, I have to tell them about Logan!"
"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll take it really well. After six months of telling you at every dinner just how disappointed they are and how perfect you two were for each other they will get bored."
They entered the dinner and sat at a table near the door, putting the bags on the free chairs. Luke came by and placed to cups in front of them and filled them with coffee.
"Jeez, did you buy the whole mall?"
"Almost. We stopped right before we got to the furniture store, otherwise these bags would have been impossible to carry."
"So what do you want to eat?"
"Umm…Burger and fries."
"Rory?"
"The same."
"Coming right up." He went in the kitchen and left the girls alone.
"Mom…what's wrong with Luke?"
"Why do you think there's something wrong with him?"
"He gave us coffee without making us beg for it."
"I think we're finally wearing him down."
"I didn't think that was possible."
"Anything is possible as long as you have the right bargaining tools, if you know what I mean."
"Ew! I so did not need to know that."
"Well, now you know it anyways."
"I think I need a new mommy now."
"Maybe Angelina Jolie will adopt you."
"You know that that means that I'll have to go live with her and Brad Pitt."
"What? She's with Brad? My Brad?"
"You didn't know?"
"But I have the t-shirt!" she pulled out a shirt from one of the bags and showed it to Rory.
"I can not believe you bought that. I thought I put that back."
"Of course I got it. How else will he know that I want to have his baby?"
Luke came and put the plates in front of the girls.
"Who's Brad?"
"Rory…am I hearing this right? Did he just ask me who Brad is? Remind me why I am dating him."
"Because he cooks and gives you coffee."
Lorelai looked up at Luke.
"You really don't know who Brad is? Brad Pitt?"
"I have much more important things to do with my mind then remember all this stuff. And why do you want to have his kid?"
"Because he's Brad Pitt."
"Well how can I fight with that?"
"I think you stand a pretty good chance."
Luke gave her a quick peck on the lips before refilling their cups. Rory watched the two and then looked at her plate.
"What? No Danish?"
"You didn't order a Danish."
Lorelai looked at him in shock.
"I thought that after all this years you should have known that Wednesday is Danish day. Brad would have never forgotten the danishes."
"I'll go get your Danishes. Cherry?"
"Do you really have to ask?"
"Coming right up."
"So, kid what are your plans for today?"
"I'm meeting Jess here in 45 minutes."
"Gah!"
"Mom…you said you would try to be nice to him."
"You didn't let me finish. I wanted to say 'Gah, I thought I saw a spider.'"
"Sure."
"I did…It was big and scary and furry."
"I bet."
"Don't you trust me?"
"Not when it comes to Jess."
"I said I'll give him a chance and I will…And I think I should also give him a watch because he just walked in."
Rory turned around and looked at the door where Jess was standing. He approached their table and looked at them.
"Hello."
"Hi. What are you doing here so early?"
"My meeting ended sooner then I expected and I came to get a book that I left here."
"Well, since you're here why don't you sit and have lunch with us?" Lorelai asked him.
Rory looked up at him "Please…"
"Umm… sure." He sat down next to Rory.
The three of them looked at each other while thinking the same thing "Well this should be interesting…"
