Thread: Hate that I love you (Freestylechamp x Lorelai Dannehur)

Lorelai's eyes lit up as Jay mentioned her brother. Oh, you've seen Charlie? How is he? We've hardly heard a peep out of him since he opened his own restaurant last month. I hope that means things are just hectic right now and he's doing well. Considering how much work he put into opening his own business, I really hope he's not struggling. Lorelai grinned as she fondly recalled, Remember when we were kids Charlie always enjoyed experimenting with mixing and matching different flavors? He even came up with his own bean dip once. I feel Charlie's found his calling. Lorelai excitedly exclaimed, Who knew he'd open his own restaurant one day? I'm really happy for him. Lorelai's expression became glum for a moment as she remembered the day Jay had to move. Yeah...we all hated to see you go. She gave a sheepish smile as she confessed, Me included, even though I wouldn't admit it at the time. Lorelai winced at Jay's reminding her of kicking him in the leg. Ah, I'm really sorry about that. It was so long ago, I honestly don't know what drove me to do that. Lorelai suspected it might've had something to do with the fact that she was just as upset as everyone else at Jay's leaving and badly vented her frustration by taking it out on Jay. She couldn't bring herself to admit her theory, as she found it embarrassing to confess she'd let her emotions get the best of her. Her cheeks flushed red as she remembered her own comeback to Jay's stating he was glad he wouldn't be seeing her again. Her head snapped up as she'd glared at him from under the brim of her baseball cap and had pettily snapped, Fine, then! I wasn't gonna miss you anyway! Her words and her actions were completely contradictory as her baseball cap had been hiding the fact she'd been dangerously close to tears herself, but she'd tried to hide it by bolting to her room after her parting comment and had slammed the door as hard as she could. At Jay's calling her his sister Lorelai grinned and joked, Awww, I didn't know we were that close. Seemed we used to drive eachother bonkers as kids, but then I could say the same for all my brothers at some point or another. Typical sibling rivalry, I guess. She laughed at his description of the last outfit he'd seen her wear and compared it to her more current attire. Lorelai's taste in clothes had certainly changed over the years as at the moment she was wearing a soft brown fake suede jacket over a dark green t-shirt with beading at the neck, blue levi jeans, a matching blue cloth headband to keep her hair back, and white sneakers. Lorelai grinned and explained, I didn't really develop any interest in my appearance or how I looked to others until I hit the age of twelve. Then for a while I was obsessed with t-shirts. I still have a handful of shirts with things like favorite movies such as Harry Potter or my favorite musicals on them, but in comparison to how many I got rid of that I don't wear anymore, it's a small number. Lately I've found I really like rich earthy colors. You know, different shades of green, brown, and blue. Red is good too, it's just a shame most of my favorite colors aren't available until the fall season. Just year before last, I FINALLY found a shampoo and conditioner that really calms the frizz in my hair so I no longer have to be mistaken for Professor Trelawney from the third Harry Potter movie. Lorelai was glad Jay hadn't been there to see her Loony Toons phase or walking around with Cat-Dog or Scooby-Doo on her shirts. As they sat down to eat, Lorelai took a slice of her own pizza half and eagerly stated, Man, pizza supreme's one of the best pizzas out there. In between bites of pizza Lorelai did her best to fill Jay in on what he'd missed since the ten years he'd been gone. Let's see...I dabbled in a bunch of hobbies drawing and cross-stitching are fun, but I'm not very good at either of those. Sometimes I found summer programs to get involved in like helping with the local nature preserve which was fun. I made some good friends that way, we still keep in touch thanks to the internet. When I finally got interested in learning to ride a bike, sometimes my brothers and I would race eachother around an empty clearing in the park during the summer and on weekends. My brothers Ian and Charlie convinced me to join the school marching band when I entered seventh grade as they felt it was something fun we could all do together, so I learned to play the flute. I think I really got into books once I discovered the fantasy and science-fiction section. Sometimes Charlie, Ian and I would hang out together reading their shared collection of Goosebumps books and comics. Mom and Dad got me interested in some of the classics and adventure stories they enjoyed reading when they were kids, so my range of interests in literature spreads across several categories now. Um...I stumbled across anime when I was given Kiki's Delivery Service for my birthday one year. Didn't really like the Pokemon anime, but I did eventually find Inuyasha, Naruto, Fruits Basket, and One Piece. Lorelai went on to explain that after anime she found manga. Thanks to her brother Thomas, she'd been interested in video games since the age of six but it took her a while to discover RPGs were more her style than competitive simulation games with little to no plot. She still enjoyed playing shooter and racing games whenever the chance arose, but RPGs were her favorites, especially Kingdom Hearts, Pokemon, and Legend of Zelda. Lorelai gave a brief description of some of the sports she liked to play for fun such as soccer, badminton, and tennis. She told Jay her brothers were all doing very well. Not only did Charlie recently open his own restaurant, Thomas was working for a big company developing video games, William and Wallace were making good money as a professional welding team, and Ian had really gotten into computers. Ian put together and refurbished computers to sell, and was also on call for repairs or to help customers with any technical difficulties. Lorelai reluctantly admitted that apparently she was the only one left in her family who hadn't found her place in the world yet and explained, I hope to be a professional writer one day, but in the meantime I need to find a job to pay for food at least. It's great that my parents want to put me through college, but I really want to be able to stand on my own once I graduate. After finishing a couple of slices of her pizza, Lorelai started on another slice as she started reluctantly mentioning some of her annoying quirks. Since we're sharing the same dorm, I think it's only fair you know some of my habits that might be found...a little tedious after a while. It takes me close to an hour in the shower every morning to get any tangles out of my hair then proceed to wash and condition it. So if you happen to be quicker than me, I think you should go first so I don't slow you down. Sometimes I get so into a video game I'm playing, I've been known to yell insults at characters on the TV screen I'm controlling, especially if it's a repeated attempt to defeat a particularly difficult boss level. And...I don't know if you remember this, but sometimes I tend to read aloud in order to help myself better understand what I'm trying to read. I had to do that several times with the Silmarillion by Tolkien. Lorelai's face flushed as she recalled more than one occasion when Jay had barged into her room and caught her reading aloud to an audience of stuffed animals and dolls.
