A/N: Sorry about the wait for this chapter, just been busy with school and work lately and my brain seems to be moving a little bit slower then it usually does. It took me forever to figure out how I should have Rory find out that Jess is back. Well anyway here is Chapter 2 for you guys! I'm very happy and grateful for all the reviews that I've gotten, it lets me know that people are actually reading my stories and are enjoying them and that's my main reason for putting them up, for you guys to enjoy. So keep the reviews coming and I'll try my best to keep the stories going.
Disclaimer: Still no luck in owning Gilmore Girls, oh well.
Rory woke up in a daze with the soft rays of the sun filtering in her room and hitting her face. She groaned as she moved her hand up to cover her eyes but found what seemed to be a sticky note stuck to her forehead. She pulled it off and flipped it around to see what it said. 'Lunch at Luke's' was written in her mom's large handwriting on the yellow post it. As Rory sat up on her bed she noticed a huge heaping of her white's lying across her bed. She lifted one up and looked at it in confusion as she tried to remember how it got there.
Rory entered Luke's that afternoon and saw Lorelai, her mom, starring strangely at Luke as he wiped down some counters. She made her way to the table that her mom was sitting at to join her.
"I can't believe you didn't wake me up." Rory complained.
"Me and what army?" Lorelai asked.
"I only have so much time off, I don't want to waste it all sleeping till noon." Rory said as she took her seat and crossed her legs.
"There was no waking you up. You were completely out of it. We're talking Ferra on Letterman." Lorelai looked towards the counter and noticed Luke making his way over to their table. "Hey." She whispered to Rory to get her attention.
"What?"
"Luke is coming over here. I want you to pay very close attention."
"To what?" Rory asked confused.
"Shhhshhhshhh!" Lorelai told Rory as Luke reached their table with a coffee pot and two large mugs in his hands.
"Coffee?" He asked as he put the mugs down.
"Oh, sure, coffee would be great. Coffee hun?" Lorelai asked her daughter then turned back to Luke. "Yeah, she'll have coffee. Thanks." She answered with a wide smile on her face.
"Okay." Luke replied as he poured the coffee into the mugs. "You want a minute?"
"Yes, a minute would be great." Luke finished up pouring their coffee then walked away. She looked towards Rory expectantly. "Well?"
"What?"
"You noticed anything?"
"Anything…" Rory asked completely confused now.
"Anything weird, anything different."
"About Luke?"
" Yeah, of course about Luke. Did you notice anything different?"
"Like what?"
"Like a vibe or an attitude. Did he look at me differently?"
"Differently then what?"
"Differently than he did."
"Differently than he did when?"
"Before."
"Before what?"
"Before, before."
"Before, before what?"
"Rory!" Lorelai said frustrated that her daughter didn't understand what she meant.
"I-How come I'm asking and you can be frustrated with me right now?"
Lorelai mumbled and gestured to Rory to follow her. Rory got up and Lorelai grabbed her hand and pulled her outside the dinner.
"Watch your damage Heather!" Rory said a little annoyed that her mother just pushed her out the door. Lorelai grabbed her hand again and pulled her to the side then turned and faced Rory.
"I think I'm dating Luke." Lorelai finally blurted out.
"What?" Rory asked in total shock.
"I'm not sure, it's just a possibility. I-I could be wrong."
"But… h-how? When?" Rory asked.
"Well, we went to his sister's wedding and it was really nice, we had a really good time. We laughed a lot and we ate, and then we danced..." Lorelai started to explain.
"Danced… how?"
"We pop-locked."
"Was it a fast dance, slow dance, group dance… ?"
"It was a slow dance… what's a group dance?"
"The Hustle. The Hora." Rory named a couple of examples.
"No Hustle. No Hora. It was a waltz. Luke can waltz."
"Luke can waltz?" Rory asked a little baffled.
"Luke can waltz." Lorelai said with a smile and wiggling of her eye brows.
"Look how you just said 'Luke can waltz'!"
"What? I was just saying I'm surprised Luke can waltz." Lorelai defended.
"That sounded more like 'I'm surprised I still have my clothes on'!" Rory pointed out.
"Oh, stop!"
"Well, what else happened?"
"Nothing. We spent the evening together, we danced, he walked me home, and then he asked me to a movie. All these things, individually, do not add up to dating. But together, I don't know… and then there was this moment, when he walked me home, where I thought… I don't know." Lorelai explained to her daughter trying to understand it all herself.
"Well did you say yes?" Rory asked.
"When?"
"To the movie, did you say yes?"
"Yes."
"That sounds like dating to me."
"Well maybe he didn't mean it as a date thing. Maybe he just needs to get out of the house and since I'm currently one of the women sitting home thinking 'If only I can find a man like Aragorn' he picked me." Lorelai tried to explain.
"O-okay, whoa! This is Luke!"
"I know."
"Our Luke. The town Luke. We see him every day, he's a part of our lives."
Lorelai nodded her head to show she's following. "I know."
"I mean everyone will know. They'll know if you're together, they'll know if you're not together."
"Ugh, I know." Lorelai said for the third time as she rubbed her temple with her hands in frustration.
"You can't just date Luke. When you are with Luke, you are with Luke. And if it doesn't work out then it will be really bad, for both of us. I mean, how do you feel about this? Do you want to be dating Luke?"
"Okay, look, we are getting ahead of ourselves here. I don't even know if this is what he's thinking. This could be a totally innocent situation! And then we did all of this 'What if'ing for nothing! Lets just go back in there and see if anything's weird, okay?"
"Okay." Rory agreed.
"Okay." They both turned towards the diner to head back inside.
Once Rory and Lorelai sat down at their table again they froze as they saw the uncle and nephew talking just in earshot range. "Jess?" Rory said under her breath in total shock of what was right in front of her.
"Just spit it out Uncle Luke." Jess ordered Luke as they were talking at the counter unaware of the audience that just arrived and was listening on their conversation.
So what is it that Luke and Jess are talking about? What will Rory's reaction will be? Will she stay long enough to hear the conversation? Will Rory and Jess get back together? And if they do how soon? Most if not all these questions will probably be answered in the next chapter… if I'm nice enough. Muhahahaha! Anyway, I've been wondering how soon you guys actually want them to get back together and how. I would love to hear any suggestions you guys might have. Well I hope you liked this chapter even though it didn't have much Jess in it and that it was mostly dialogue. I promise there will be more of him in the next chapter. Remember, reviews are golden! Thanks!
