Please Review!

So here it is my first fanfic! I've decided to write a Jess/Rory fanfic after watching 'Raincoats and Recipes' and hating the fact that Rory slept with Dean. So this is going to be my idea of what should have happened in that episode. Hope you enjoy!

"Don't say no just to get make me stop talking or make me go away. Only say no if you really don't want to be with me."

"No!"

The word stung, he felt the tears well in his eyes and bit his lip in order to keep the tears in check. He looked at her, "You're lying." He stated.

Rory sat down on one of the boxes she had packed and taped up before heading on the disastrous date. She exhaled loudly, "Jess..."

" I meant it when I told you I loved you Rory. I know you feel the same, you all but admitted it earlier."

She looked up at him sharply, "What? What are you talking about?"

"Why won't you leave me alone? You won't go away." He quoted her own words back to her.

"I meant..."

"I'm not giving up on us Rory, not this time. You won't come, then I'll have to stay." He turned and walked out the dorm, leaving Rory staring after him in shock.

The test run at the Inn was getting underway, when Rory spotted Dean carrying a door. She had successfully managed to avoid Jess this last week, even having lunch at Lukes, but now she had to talk to Dean. They were starting to become close again, she liked having him as her friend but he hadn't answered any of her messages and then had blanked her at Lukes.

"Hi," She said smiling at him.

"Hey. I have to get this upstairs," he told her nodding at the door and shifting uncomfortably.

"Can't we talk?"

"What about?"

"Jess." She replied. "He's back staying in town."

"Yeah? I don't care." He spat at her. "Are you back with him then?"

"No...I didn't ask him to come, you know? Why are you so mad?"

"I don't like him. And I..I don't want you to be with him." He told her, staring down at her inching closer as if to kiss her. "He doesn't treat you right."

Rory looked up at him, hardening her voice she said "And you care how he treats me 'cause we're friends right? Friends."

Dean straightened up at the tone, "Right. I'm your friend."

Lorelai looked over at Luke as he stood in the entrance hall clutching a bunch of flowers. She smiled at him, "Hey, hi. You came."

"Well I RSVP'd." He replied handing her the flowers.

Lorelai gasped as she spotted Jess walk towards them carrying two bags, "And you brought a guest." She whispered at Luke. She glanced over at Rory who seemed to be just as shocked as she.

Luke nodded, "Yeah. Thats okay isn't it? He wanted to see the place, and he said things were okay with Rory..."

"Hi." Jess said, stopping beside them. "Place looks great." He looked over at Rory and gave a slight nod.

Rory felt her heart speed up at that little action and knew she was going to have a emotional two days if he was going to be staying here too. There was no way to avoid him here, and she couldn't leave her mum to deal with the Inn, her grandparents and her mixed up feelings about Luke on her own.

"Um, yeah, thanks. So uh, lets get you two to your room." Lorelai spun round and walked face first into a door. "Um, that was your door so you can follow that on up...Rory has your keys and we'll uh, see you at dinner."

Lorelai walked off, and Luke followed to make sure she was okay leaving Rory no choice but to hand the keys to Jess. She walked over to him, feeling flustered and unsure and she could feel her self blushing under his gaze. "Here." She said handing him the keys. He took the keys wordlessly but grasped her wrist lightly making her look up into his eyes. Although it'd been over a year since the last time they'd kissed she could easily read the intent in his eyes. She pulled her hand away roughly. "Please don't ruin this for my mother." She warned him.

"Not my intention." He told her before heading up the stairs to his room.

Rory watched him go, her breath, that she had not realised she had been holding returning to normal. How was it possible for him to affect her in this way?
