Evan was coming over on 30 minutes. She made sure to tell him that walking shoes are a must. They had a cute conversation about what to wear, and then he went to go take a shower. She went to go curl her hair, and put on some make up. Lorelai was still passed out, and she would be well into the hours of the afternoon. She was certainly sleeping a lot, lately but Rory wrote it off as some sort of side effect of getting pregnant. Rory puffed her hair one last time, and she heard the doorbell. She leaped and ran down the stairway, opened the door and there he was.
"So you were going to give me tour of Stars Hollow?" he said putting his keys in his pocket and hugging her. She blushed, as she couldn't help. She nodded her head and then looked down at his feet.
"Okay, good I think we're all set. You might want sunglasses in case it gets bright, or a hat or something, I know I like to-" she was stopped when Evan bent down and lightly kissed her lips. He looked deeply into her eyes.
"I think I'm all set." He smiled and gestured to the front door. She was still blushing, and she wished that she wasn't so beet red, but he thought it was adorable. She touched her cheek to gauge how hot she was. She put on a pair of sunglasses and she grabbed his hand and they left.
"Are you hungry?" she asked thinking of Luke's Diner. It was by far the best hang out spot, and she wanted to show Evan the place where she practically grew up. Everyone went there, and she wondered what Luke would think of Evan. She smirked at the thought of those two meeting. They were practically opposites.
"Actually yeah, I was just going to ask if there were any small-town restaurants." And with that she tugged at him she started skipping around the block.
"Good." She yelled. He was stumbling but he caught up pretty quick. She walked right into the Diner and Luke stared at Evan.
"Rory." He nodded at her and then at Evan but with a question on his face. She sat on one of the barstools and grabbed a menu. Luke served a waiting customer and then came back.
"Luke this is Evan!" she said all giddily. Luke remained stone-face and put a payment in the register. He then looked Evan over. He smirked.
"Where's your mom? Normally she's willing to bother you, to come bother me…" he said with a slight smile on his face. Rory wondered if her mom had even told Luke about the "surprise", but wouldn't bother in front of Evan.
"She's actually taking a nap right now." Rory stopped and looked around, as everyone got silent. Luke had a jaw-drop.
"Really? She's always hopped up on caffeine, and she's taking a nap at 1 in the afternoon?" he put a hand on his hip. Rory shrugged. Evan just sat there quietly not knowing what to say. Luke saw his expression, and gave him a menu.
"I'll be back in a bit." He said and went to the back. He called Lorelai as he was pretty sure why she was napping. Even when she wasn't answering he kept calling in the hopes that she might wake up from it.
"Hello?" the phone actually picked up. His heart did flips.
"Lorelai? What's wrong with you?" he immediately asked.
"Woah, I didn't even do anything wrong yet…what's with the attitude?" she said with a smile, and slight giggle.
"You were napping." He mentioned pointedly.
"Yeah…and?" she rubbed her temples and checked the time.
"You're so high on caffeine that this is almost mythical. Do you have something to tell me?" he said crossing his fingers.
"Hm, now that you mention it, I am hungry,…" she said laughing but she knew that she had to tell Luke about this recent pregnancy sometime. She just didn't know when.
"Lorelai please don't play games with me." He said gruffly. He fell back against the wall and sighed loudly.
"Okay, are you free tonight?" she knew that she had to tell him since he was up to something. She didn't know how he found out about her napping unless Rory is out again.
"Yeah, why?" he didn't exactly plan on going on a date tonight.
"Well we should talk over dinner." She hoped that he'd go for it.
"Sure."
After lunch, Rory and Evan walked down the street when her phone went off, it was her mom.
"Mom?"
"Hey Rory, I'm going to be out of the house for a few hours, no crazy parties." She joked.
"We've been through this, I'll just have a movie night tonight." She snickered as Evan put his head on her shoulder to hear what was going on.
"Okay, well, I'm just going over to Satan's house so I'll be back this evening. Have fun." Lorelai mentioned pretty quickly. Before Rory could ask why she was going to Emily's, she hung up. Rory looked at Evan, and grabbed his hand.
"We should go back to my house and watch movies." She commanded.
"I think we should, too." He kissed her cheek as they walked back to the Lorelais' house. As they walked past Luke's Diner again, Dean saw them pass by through the window. His heart sank when he saw Rory with Evan. In fact, anger welled up and he immediately got up and decided to chase after them.
"RORY!" he screamed with his eyes mildly welled up. She turned with a grim look on her face.
"Dean, go." She said calmly. Evan got in front of her and stared down at Dean.
"Who is this, Rory?" Evan growled softly. He and Dean made eye contact and each was analyzing the other. Rory didn't want them to fight, so she got in the middle.
"Okay no is fighting anyone. Dean, I'm with Evan. Evan this is my ex, Dean," then she faced Dean, " And we've been through this before, I'm done with you, okay? You broke my heart and I'm just finished with your crap, Dean. You should've made up your mind a long time ago about what you wanted and you didn't so you lose." She said as one single tear trailed down her cheek. Evan grabbed her hand and she walked off with him.
"I'm sorry Evan, I didn't expect that." She said and she covered her face with both of her hands. He grabbed her waist and hugged her tightly.
"Okay, look, we should be mature about this. You had other relationships and they're over. I'm okay with that, but tell me the next time he does something like this because I will handle it." Rory nodded and wiped the last of her tears off of her face. She grabbed him by the waist until they got to her front door. She unlocked the door and she went to her movie collection. Evan sprawled out on the couch and waited for her to pick some movies.
"You know, I think we should watch When Harry Met Sally…it's a classic." She laughed at him lying all over the couch, "Getting comfortable are we?"
"I'm just waiting on you." And he opened his arms to welcome her. She put the movie in grabbed the remote and he pulled her onto him.
"You're a great pillow, you know that?" she joked. He snickered and rested his head on her shoulder, again.
"Well, I try…" he trailed off and started kissing her neck.
