Chapter 2: Honeymoon and New York

“Lorelai, why in the world would you need a canvas?” Luke asked holding it up in disbelief.

“What if I want to paint?” Lorelai answered

“You won’t have a chance to paint. Besides, you don’t even paint that much!”

“Well, I could start.” Lorelai defended. She made a puppy dog face and Luke just sighed in surrender.

“Fine take it” Luke said. Even though she knew he was a little upset she knew that he was a little amused at their “argument”, if that was what you would want to call it.

Lorelai jumped up in glee. “I just knew you would agree. You’re the best husband ever.”

Luke smiled, “Yeah. But if we’re taking the canvas and paints we’re taking only one hairdryers.”

Loreali groaned. “But what if one breaks. Than you would have a wife with bad wet hair.” Lorelai answered. She made yet another puppy dog face.

“Fine. You know I can’t say know to that face.”

Lorelai perked up and continued her packing. “You know that’s just why I love you so much.”

“Yes, because I do everything you want to do.”

“Well, it’s because you do everything I want to do just because you love me.” Lorelai corrected with a laugh.

“Yes, I wouldn’t have agreed to your silly ideas if I didn’t love you.” They kissed again and continued packing.

When they were done Luke brought the bags to the vehicle. Luke had to laugh at himself for marrying an over-packer. Here they were going on a three-week honeymoon and they were packing like they were moving to another house. He shook his head and when they were done Rory hugged them both and waved to them as they drove off the driveway and headed toward their honeymoon.

As Rory drove of the interstate and headed onto the exit her thoughts went to Daniel. He was an amazing guy. They had been going out for about eight months, and she was very happy about their relationship. She couldn’t have asked for a better boyfriend. He was sweet, charming, and most of all sensitive to her feelings. She met him on the subway. The only place that day that was open was the seat beside him. They began talking and from there their relationship blossomed. Truly, she did love him, but then a dark cloud came across her thoughts. She just couldn’t stop thinking about him, the man that left her heartbroken and confused. The same man who claimed he “loved” her in the stars hollow streets and left. Did he really mean it when he said it? When he came back some time later things seemed different between them. Sure, Jess was still Jess only more tamed, but they weren’t as intimate as they used to be.

She shook her head. She just couldn’t be thinking about him now. She hadn’t seen him in four years. Truth was though, this was not the only time she thought of him. She pitured his face and wondered what kind of life he had now. That didn't matter though, because Daniel was all she needed.

Besides, she thought, he might even be married. She needed to be thankful for what she had. She had Daniel, and that was all she needed to make her happy.

To derive her thoughts from Jess, she thought of her mother’s marriage. It was absolutely the thing she dreamed of. Luke was perfect for Loreai. After all they went through Rory felt they deserved to be together. Rory believe having the struggles in the beginning created those memories and made their relationship envied by anyone who heard about it. It even made her a little jealous. Yes, she wished and hoped that when it came her turn to marry that her’s would be just as romantic and wonderful as her mother’s.

When she arrived in her apartment Daniel was there to greet her warmly. She gave a squeal of excitement and ran to hug him. He picked her up and spun her around in a circle.

“You’re back!”

“Yes.” Rory replied smiling.

“So, how was your mother’s wedding?”

“It was like a dream. It was just perfect.” Rory answered.

“I’m so glad. I’m also glad that you came home safely.”

“Well, of course I did. You knew that I would.” Rory responded teasingly and Daniel leaned in to give Rory a kiss. She kissed back and they just stood in front of the door for a few minutes. Rory was the one to back up. She looked up and Daniel and smiled.

“Do you want to come in?” she asked.

“Why do you think I was waiting outside your door for?” he replied with a laugh. "Oh, and i almost forgot, these." he revealed a beautiful boquet of roses. Rory looked at them in awe.

"They're beautiful. Thank you."

With that, Rory opened the door with her key and led Daniel inside.

Well, what do you think? I know it’s short but my next chapter will be longer. Right now I’m kind of in a writer’s block for this story, so if anyone can give ideas I’m open. Also, I am looking, if anyone is open to it, for someone could beta my stories. It’s really hard for me to fix some corrections, and I’m just eager to get my chapter out. So if you would like just email, or contact me. It would make the story go more smoother and make it more enjoyable for you readers. Well, as always REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW!!!
