Letters You Will Never Get.
Chapter 1
Dear Jess,
So this is probably the umpteenth letter I wrote to you in the past 2 years. I mean I haven't seen you since that time we kissed at your store five years ago. And I just started writing to you 2 years ago. I know, it is pretty stupid writting, you know, when you and I, both know you will not be getting this anytime soon. But oh well. For some reason, I feel, as if this is what I should do, and that I should send you these letters, but I can't.
I have to make this letter a little short than usual, because I do have a meeting to go to very soon.
So anyways, how are you? I'm doing just fine, I guess. Logan will return back from his trip to Asia in two days. I actually kind of like the me time I had. But it's ok, watch the next 3 weeks, he has to go somewhere else again. But who cares I guess. I know I should, but I'm use to it.
I did it again today you know. I picked up the phone, and dialled the first 3 numbers and hung up after the forth. I, I just can't do it. I'm too scared just to talk to you. I guess, I'm afraid of what would happen. What would I say? What would you say? Would I just hang up right after you answer, or would you hang up right after I tell you it's me? You don't know how much, I want to talk to you. More than anything. I wanna know how are you? The only way I get information about you, is Luke, and he doesn't give me much. I guess, what I'm trying to say is... I miss you...
Well, look at the time. I have to go. I've got a meeting in 20 minutes and it takes me 10 to get there. I'll write to you again, whenever I have time, but right now I have to go. Bye.
Love,
Rory.
She looked at the letter, she reread about six time until she fold it into two. She placed it into the waiting envelope and walked to her bedroom. She kneeled down and got out a box from under her bed. She opened the box which had his name written on it and placed the letter with all the other letters she had written to him. She closed the box gently and rubbed her hand over his name. She looked at her watch, she had 17 minutes till her meeting. She placed the box to its spot under the bed and stood up. She grabbed her purse and coat and slipped on her shoes and was out the door.
Rory arrived at the office 10 minutes late. She rushed and up the elevator and ran to the meeting. She finally made her way and open the door quietly so no one would hear her. She sneaked in and took a seat next to her friend.
"You late." Mr. Hayes says to Rory.
"Yes, I know. Sorry Boss...um...traffic." Rory lied. Mr. Hayes just gave her a death glare. Then continued with his speech. Finally the meeting was down and Rory was walking out as her friend walked up next to her.
"Why were you late...again?" Celina, Rory's co-worker and friend asked.
"What? Oh, like I said traffic and what to you mean again?" Rory asked, knowing what she means. Rory has been late the past week. They made they're way to Rory's office.
"Well, you've been late, lately, and I was just wondering why? Are you ok? Are you pregnant?" Celina asked. Rory glared at her friend. "What!? No. Celina, I am not pregnant. Just, I don't know, I guess I'm just late. Geez." Rory said getting annoyed already.
"If you sure...Anyways, I have to get back to work. Want to hang out tonight? Go to bar, a club maybe?"
"Um...sure, why not?" Rory agrees, although she didn't want to.
"Ok, great. See you later at lunch." Celina says and walks over to her own office. Rory sighs and runs her hand over her face.
"Boo!" Someone says. Which made Roy jump and almost fall of her chair.
"Nick! God! You scared me!" Rory says with a small. Nick was one of her good friends. He had light brown hair and hazel eyes. He was taller than Logan but shorter than Dean. He has been working with Rory for the last three years. He was like a brother to her, yet to Nick, Rory was something way more than a friend. But she did not know that, and he wasn't planning on telling her anytime soon.
"Sorry. It was very tempting to do." Nick says as he returned the smile and sat at the chair in front of Rory's desk. "What's up?"
"Nothing much I guess. You?" Rory says as she was going threw some files.
"Nothing really. So, what you up to tonight?" Nick asks hoping nothing.
"Celina and I are going to hang out. Want to come along?" Rory asked not really noticing what she just asked.
"Oh, um. Sure. Ok. What time?"
"After work, of course." Rory said and finally looking up at Nick.
"Ok, sure, sure. Well, I should go, before Mr. Hayes fires me. See yeah."
"Bye." Rory says to her friend and goes back to work.
Around 10 pm that day. Rory was just finishing up an article and putting away her things as Celina walks in a beautiful black dress. It went up to a bit above her knees. And her blonde hair was wavy.
"Whoa, love the dress. Where did you get that?" Rory asked getting up from behind her desk.
"I had it in my bag." Celina says smiling.
"Oh, so you knew I was gonna agree, on going?" Rory said.
"I hoped so." Celina said as Rory was closing her office and walked into Celina's.
"Well, what do I wear?" Rory asked.
"Here." Celina says as she got out a skirt and shirt from her bag.
"You brought me some clothes!?" Rory asked excited, Celina always got great stuff.
"Yup. Here, try them on." Celina says pushing Rory towards the washroom. Rory went inside to change.
"Hey Celina." Nick says and walks in. He was wearing some light blue jeans and a nice white dress shirt. "Where's Rory?"
"Getting ready." Celina answered as she applying on lip-gloss. Suddenly Rory walks out of the bathroom and into the office. Nick and Celina turn around. And Nick's jaw dropped. "Whoa." Rory was wearing a mini jeans skirt with glitter all over. And a silk pink tank top. "You look hot!" Celina shouted. Rory blushed. "Come on! Let's go! I'm feelling lucky tonight!" Celina says as they walked out of the office.
"Celina, that's what you always say..." Nick starts and Rory finishes "And yet, you never find the right guy."
"We'll see." Celina says proud of herself. They walked out of the building and grabbed a cab.
They soon arrived at the night club and entered. They place was going crazy. The music was so loud, Rory couldn't even hear herself think. She wasn't really a big fan of night clubs and such. But she goes anyways to hang out with friends. Celina already did her usual thing. Ditching Nick and Rory, to dance with some random hot guy. Rory shock her head, with a smile as her and Nick went up to the bar to grabbed something to drink.
"What can I get you two?" The bartender asked.
"A beer for me and..." Nick says, waiting for Rory to finish. "A martini." Rory adds.
"Right away." The bartender said and makes they're drink. "Cheers?" Nick says as they received the drinks. Rory smiles and lift ups her cup and says, "Cheers." They both gulped down their drinks. They talked for a bit until a girl comes up to Nick and places her hand on his shoulder. "Lonely boy. Why don't you come and dance with me?" The girl begged. Nick looks at Rory and all she does is smile and nods. Nick gets up and walks away with the girl, dancing. Leave Rory there all by herself. She sighs and grabs another drink.
A group of five guys walk into the club. "Come on man. It's your birthday. Have some fun." One of the guys say.
"Yeah, all you want to do for fun is sit at home, reading. Like, what the hell?!" Another guys shouted as the men walked towards to the bar table. They were a couple of seats away from Rory.
"So? That's what I wanted to do." When Rory heard that voice, she almost spat out her drink. She knew that voice, it was familiar, very. Rory turned her head towards the men and notices who that guy was.
"Whatever Jess. Drinks are on me! Happy birthday man!" A guys yells as they all clicked the cups together. Birthday? Oh my god! September 25th! He's birthday! Rory thought.(A/N: I don't know if that really is Jess' birthday, but let's just say it is.)
Rory quickly turned her head back, hoping that Jess did not notice her. A couple of his friends left him there to dance with some random girls. One of them was dancing with Celina.
"Come on." The guy said, telling Jess to come on dance with them.
"Nah! You guys go ahead. I'm gonna sit here and enjoy my drink." Jess says to his drunken friends leaving Jess there. Rory tries to hide her face, but doesn't seem to be working. He spotted her. She didn't changed since that last time he had seen her, well, her clothing yes, but same. Jess looked back at his drink. Could be really her? Jess thought. He got up from his chair and sat on the one next to Rory. She doesn't look at him.
"Long time." He says, gulping down his drink. Rory turned to face him ad smiled. "Hi."
"Hi."
"How are you?" Was the only thing Rory could say. Jess smirked, "I'm good, you?"
"Good, good. Um...Happy birthday." Rory says.
"Are you saying that, just to be nice and pretend like you remember, when you just did cause my friends screamed it out, or...do you really mean it." Jess asked, still smirking.
"A little bit of both." Rory says. "Still the same."
"What is?" Jess says getting another drink.
"That." Rory said pointing to his smirk. "It will never get old huh?"
"Don't think so." Rory giggled a bit. Oh, how he missed her laugh, her smiled. He hasn't seen her in almost five years. "So...big old 26 huh?" Rory said.
"Yup, yeah."
"Sucker." Rory said drinking her martini.
"Hey, you will be next month right?" Rory was amazed that Jess still remember her birthday. "Yeah. Next month. You remember?" Jess just shrugged. They both laughed. Jess turned back to his friends and shock his head at the sight of them. "Are you hear all alone?"
"Who me? No, I'm here with a couple of friends."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah, see him." Rory said pointing to one of Jess' friends.
"Matt, yeah. What about him?"
"See, who he's grinding with?"
"Aha, yes."
"That's Celina. My friend. These are her clothes."
"Ah, yes. The clothing. I was wondering about that. So not you." Jess said.
"I agree. But I didn't want to came in my business outfit." Rory smiled.
"They look nice on you though." Jess says. Rory blushed, "Thanks."
"So, just you and Celina?" Jess asked with a smile, changing the subject.
"And Nick." Jess' smiled faded away, at the guy's name.
"Nick?"
"Yeah, over there." Rory said nodding to Nick, flirting with some girl.
"Boyfriend?" Jess asked hoping she'll say no.
"Aha, no. A friend. I have a boyfriend."
"Oh really? Who?" Jess asked, sort of afraid of the answer. Rory didn't want to say who. Cause she knew Jess would be mad. Rory looked down at her cup. It sort of gave it away, Jess knew who.
"Blond rich dick head." Jess said as a statement, not, a question. Rory nodded saddly. Unforunatly. She thought then shacking her head, back to reality.
"Still?" And she nodded again.
"Huh." Rory wanted to change the subject, wanting to get rid of the awkwardness. So she asked, "What about you, mystery man. Any lucky lady?" Rory asked finally looking up.
"Not yet." Jess answered.
"No girlfriend?" Rory asked.
"Nope. Not yet." Jess says sadly.
"Why?"
"I don't know. Every girl I dated after...err...us...has been the same."
"No one special?" Rory asked sad for her friend. If that's what you would call them.
"Not yet." Jess said shacking his head.
"Jess...are you happy?" Rory asked honestly. Jess looked up right into her eyes. He'd always melt, weaken, whenever he sees the crystal blue eyes of hers. "Not yet." Jess said. "So Courtney, what about you?" .
"What about me?" Rory says, giggling, remember the moment in the car, with Jess.
"Are you happy?" Jess asked her. Rory poundered for a bit. Was she happy? Then nodded. "Yeah, yeah. I guess I am."
"Jess! Come on man!" One of Jess' friend called out for him.
"You should go. Have fun, get drunk. It's your birthday." Rory said pushing herself of the stool.
"You come too. You don't want to look like a loner, sitting here, by yourself."
"Fine. Let's go." Rory says grabbing Jess and pulling his towards the dance floor. They begun to dance the night away. It wasn't awkward at all. Suddenly, a slow song came up. Already everyone found someone and started dancing. Jess looked at Rory and smiled. And said, "I'm sorry, I didn't take you to the prom."
"That's ok. It was nine years ago. We can let it go." Rory says.
"I know, but still. I'm sorry." Rory smiles and nods. "Well, I should go." Rory said and turns around, but is stopped by Jess pulling her arm.
"Wait." Jess says, Rory turns around, with a confused look. "Just one more dance, then you can leave." Jess said. Rory was surprised, but smiled and said, "Sure." She put her arms around his neck and lean close into his chest, as Jess placed his arms around her and his hands rested on her lower waist. "Pretend it's nine years ago. Pretend we're still 17... pretend like it's the prom." Jess whispers to Rory. She closed her eyes and smiled at the moment. Sadly, the song had ended. They pulled away from each other, even though, secretly they both didn't want to. "I should go now. I have to get up early tomorrow." Rory said hiding her face. Jess nodded, "Yeah." Rory looked up at Jess and smiled, "Thanks Jess. For the dance."
"Thanks for the birthday present." Jess said meaning, spending time with her.
"It was good seeing you again." Jess nodded. "Maybe, you know, we could see each other, maybe talk, lunch, dinner?"
Rory smiled and says "Of course.I'll see you soon." Rory waved her hand and said good-bye and walked towards Nick and Celina, who was drunk and walked out of the club. Leaving Jess, in the middle of the dance floor, with an expression, he had never thought of having in a long time... could it be love?
