The strangest things

Chapter Six

Rory shivered under the covered, trying to pull them up around her but finding it impossible, because there was nothing left to pull. Her back ached and she suddenly remembered why. She was currently lying on a pile of blankets on the floor. After Emily had stopped by last night and forced her and Lorelai out of the bed they'd been sharing. Leaving Rory and her mum on the floor, while Ally and Emily slept peacefully. Sitting up, she shivered even more as the blanket slipped from her. She decided to get up and dressed, and find some coffee, before the other guests woke up. Quickly pulling on a knee length denim skirt, and a blue jumper, with her black wool tights and black boots. She brushed her hair and made her way out of the room. Leaving the room, noticing as she did that her grandmother was gone, and Lorelai had made it back into her own bed. She went straight to the kitchen and made herself some coffee before turning and heading to the library, finding Jess sat on one of the windowsills reading a book. She smiled, and walked over. Sitting alongside him.

'Morning.' She smiled, glancing out the window for the first time. 'Whoa!'

'You hadn't seen that yet?' Jess asked, indicating the snow that was halfway up the window.

'I'm not fully awake yet. I hadn't really paid much attention to anything but coffee and you.' Rory said, not realising that the latter part of her word, brought a smile to Jess' face. Staring out the window she continued. 'How are people going to get home?'

'Wait for it to melt, or climb out of a second storey window.' Jess replied, which received a playful hit from Rory.

'It's really beautiful though.' She looked out over the gardens. 'Come on I want to see it from upstairs.' She said grabbing his hand and pulling him along with her.

Ally finished getting dressed, and made her way out into the hall. News had travelled round the now awake inn that the snow was too heavy for anyone to leave, and so all the other guests were down in the dining room having their breakfast, but Ally wanted to look around, she didn't want to sit in the crowded room and end up at a table with someone like Kirk, or Miss Patti. Instead she wandered round, stopping briefly as she saw her brother and Rory stood by a window together, Jess holding a book and Rory a cup of coffee. She moved on quickly and going downstairs, where much to her delight she saw Dean, going into the library. She followed him into the quiet room.

'Hey Ally. Have you seen Rory anywhere? I've not seen her since dinner last night.' Dean asked as he saw her.

'She was with Jess last I saw.' Ally shrugged, the jealousy in his eyes not going unnoticed by her.

'Where?' He asked, sounding more annoyed than before.

'She was upstairs.' She moved closer to him, and stood by the window. 'I guess we'll be stuck here for a while.'

'Yeah they think it should clear by tomorrow.' Dean replied, deciding not to go after Rory yet. Hoping she'd come and find him.

'Another night here! Typical, though I guess it wasn't so bad. Me and Lorelai spent a long time talking last night, past two in the morning.' Ally said ready to stir trouble again. 'Though Rory didn't even get back to the room until after I'd gone to sleep.' She watched the affect it had on Dean and was please. He was angry with Rory.

'Jess! Stop it! That tickles.' Rory squealed as Jess started tickling her sides, she squirmed around trying to get away from his grip. Holding his book above her head, moving it whenever he tried to take it. Laughing loudly. With one hand Jess made a grab for the book, whilst the other was holding onto her waist to stop her running away.

'Then give the book back.' Jess smirked good humouredly. Tickling her more. She laughed louder and tried to break away, but his grip on her waist was too strong, breathlessly she finally gave up. Stopped squirming and handed his book back.

'See was that so hard.' He chuckled, slowly moving his hand from her waist, both looking at each other, eyes locked.

'Rory! Where have you been? I've been looking for you all morning.' Dean's voice broke through the silence that had fallen after Jess had spoken, and the two of the moved apart. Rory smiling sheepishly at Dean.

'Sorry, we were just mucking about with his book. I didn't know you'd been looking for me.' Rory moved over to Dean and gave him a quick kiss.

'Right well, shall we go get some breakfast?' Dean asked. Leading her away before she could answer. Joining Ally who was waiting at the end of the hall. Rory quickly turned to wave to Jess, but he'd already walked off.
