A/N- I did plan on posting this within a week of the last chapter, but I got the computer taken away so I couldn't, sorry! Thanks for all the reviews! I'm glad you guys like the wedding!
Jess' POV
"Caesar! There should be cheese on this omelet!" I stuck the plate back into the kitchen. When I turned back to the counter Rory and Erica were seated.
"Morning!" Rory leaned across the counter to kiss me.
"Hey." I kissed the top of Erica's head. "What's up Angel?"
"I got new books!" she lifted a bag onto the counter. It had about ten books in it.
"You're spoiling her." I told Rory.
"Like you don't." she retorted. I ignored her and turned to Erica.
"Hey Angel, you want to hang out at Grandma's tonight?"
"Okay!"
"Go pack a bag. I'll take you over there after lunch." Erica hopped off the stool, holding her bag and ran up the stairs. "You doing anything tonight?" I asked Rory leaning my elbows on the counter.
"Depends what you have planned."
"It's a surprise." I leaned closer to her.
"I don't like surprises."
"I know. But you'll like this one, I promise."
"I'm going to hold you to that." She closed the space between us and kissed me.
"Okay. I'll pick you up at seven."
"Alright. I got to go, tell Erica bye for me?"
"I will."
"See you later." She waved as she exited the diner.
"Caesar! Where is that omelet?"
Rory's POV (later that night)
"Mom! What do I wear?" I yelled into my phone, which was sitting on my dresser across the room, on speaker.
"Where is he taking you?"
"I don't know!"
"Hold on. I'll see if Luke knows." The line became silent. A couple minutes later she was back. "He claims he doesn't know."
"So what do I do?"
"Wear the black flippy skirt that you got in Barcelona. And the silky green shirt we bought in New York last time you were home." She told me.
"Shoes?"
"Hmm, the green flats I stole from you, since Jess is short."
"I knew you stole them! And Jess is not short." I defended.
"Yes he is. I got to go, sweets. Good luck, call me tomorrow!" The line went dead. I shut my phone and pulled out the clothes mom had suggested. I ran up the stairs to mom's room to retrieve my shoes. After I dressed I straightened my hair which fell to the middle of my back now. As a final touch I dug around in my dresser until I found the perfume I used to wear in high school when I was dating Jess. The clock read six fifty-five. The doorbell rang. I hurried to get the door.
"Hi!" I observed Jess. He wore dark jeans, a white button down shirt and a black blazer.
"Hey." He stepped towards me and kissed me. "You look beautiful. Ready?"
"Yep." I grabbed my purse off the table before shutting the door behind me. "Where are we going?"
"It's still a surprise." We continued walking down the street.
"We're walking so it must be somewhere in Stars Hollow."
"Maybe. Here put this on." He pulled a blindfold out of his pocket. I sighed before slipping it over my head. I felt Jess slip his arm around my waist to guide me. We walked for about ten minutes before he stopped us. "We're here." He announced pulling the blindfold off my head.
"Jess…" We were standing on the grounds of the Independence Inn, in front of the creek. A table with the picnic basket I had made for the bid-a-basket festival sat under a tree. A boom box sat next to the table. "This is amazing."
"It's nothing." He shrugged.
"Yes it is." I kissed him. When we broke apart he led me over to the table. He sat across from me. "I can't believe you still have this." I pointed to the basket.
"I still have a lot of things: the cigarette I didn't smoke, ticket stubs, your copy of The Fountainhead, the quarter I didn't pull out of your ear, a flower that fell off your dress at Sookie's wedding." Jess listed off smiling at me.
"The lyrics to the Guns of Brixton that you wrote, the bear from the winter carnival, a bottle of your cologne, a glove you left on the sleigh at the Bracebridge dinner, the umbrella you gave me when the apartment was being redone." I told him my own list. "So what's in the basket?"
"Dinner." He reached into the basket and pulled out two sodas, two plates, silverware for both of us and a container of food. He opened the container and spooned spaghetti onto both of our plates.
After dinner.
"Come on." Jess pressed play on the boom box before standing. He pulled me out of my chair and into his arms. The Distillers 'For Tonight You're Only Here to Know' came out of the speakers.
"This was perfect." I told him resting my head on his shoulder as we danced.
"I love you, Ror."
"I love you too, Jess."
A/N- So there's chapter thirteen? What do you think? Review!
