Slight Java Disclaimer: No, I don't own Gilmore Girls *sigh*(only in my own delusional world) but if I did, well, that's why we write fanfic's isn't it?! ;-), Rating: Pg-13, maybe R later Author's Note: This is my first GG fic, so if you have anything to say, email me @ nightashes17@yahoo.com

Lane: so, have you talked to Dean?"

Rory: No, but he left like a thousand messages on my machine. All of which include something like "I really miss you", or, "Please give us another chance." Mom said he was watching her to see when she was going to pick me up!" she says with an annoyed look.

Lane: "Yeah, he kept asking me for your number, when you'd get back, if there was someone else, if you'd had enough protein daily." they both laugh at that "ok, so that last part was exaggerated, but really, he is obsessed."

Rory: "I know that, but I don't know what to do about it." with exasperation and thinking ness in her voice.

Lane: " Well, when you figure it out tell me, but right now I gotta go. Mom only let me come over to say welcome back, and she said to be back (mimicking Mrs. Kim) "at 6 oa' clock shap."

Rory: *laughing* ok, go, I'll see you tomorrow. Bye." * ok, well, I guess I should start unpacking. Paris is really cool, once you've spent 2 flights, a room, and 4 weeks with her. *smile*, What should I do about Dean; he didn't take the brake up well at ALL.

~~~FLASHBACK~~~

Dean had come over after he finished work, and they had set out for a walk.

Rory: Dean, we need to talk...

Dean: What about?" he says not really paying attention

Rory: us."(that got his usually wandering attention.)

Dean: What about us?"

Rory I don't think there should be an us. I wanna break up

Dean: "WHAT? Why?

Rory: "It's just, you're always so possessive and jealous and, I don't feel we should be together.

Dean: I thought you loved me Rory.'

Rory: "I think I just said that just so I wouldn't lose you, but I never REaLLY felt in love with you, jus like.

Dean: I can't believe i trusted you; I went to that bal...

Rory: TRUST? (she says interrupting and with shock & wonder) you never trusted me. You always told me not to talk to Tristan, don't trust Jess, well you know what, I am though with this 'bye.

Dean: Don't walk away... (but she had already gone)

~~~ End FLASHBACK~~~

*Well, I'll just ignore him. Moving on. I can't wait to see Jess. He is a way better kisser than Dean. I got more electricity when I kissed him then I EVER have with Tristan or Dean. and he came back! I haven't seen him since the day before I left, the day after Sookie's wedding & the kiss, he was so... what's the word? I dunno, but he was so nice, and he smiled at me and flirted. Not like Tristan's flirting calling me Mary *ugh*, but *hey* kinda flirting. But, what if he doesn't want me? What if...* her thoughts were interrupted by a knocking at her window.*ok, if it's Dean, I'll just...* but it wasn't Dean.

Rory: opens the window "Jess what.." before she could go on he kissed her, with a little more passion then from their first kiss.

Jess: after he pulls away "Welcome home" smiles and walks away.

Rory: Well, that was a weird kinda déjà vu.

~Later that night~

After talking to her mom, who was still not on good terms with Luke, and bummed about Christopher, and knew everything (except the most recent kiss), Rory went out for a walk, and ended up at the bridge. She was standing on the edge, looking over and into the lake, when she heard footsteps behind her.

Jess: "So, how was your trip?" he asked, trying to stay cool, but almost not being able to at the sight of her in the reflection of the lake and the moon shining on her.

Rory: "It was alright, (he stands next to her) but please. if I ever get the crazy idea to go on a trip with Paris, deprive me of coffee 'til I think straight."

Jess: I don't think I could do that, but I'll try.

Rory: so, what are yo u doing out here?"

Jess: I could ask you the same."

Rory: "I needed to take a walk, get some fresh air, what about you Dodger?"

Jess: same, but I've been walking for quite a while.' He said explaining in another way that he had never gone back to the diner after he kissed her * I wanna kiss her right now* "You wouldn't happen to be out here looking for bagboy were you?"

Rory: "You mean it hasn't spread around town?"

Jess: what?"

Rory: "I broke up with dean, the day before I left for Washington."

Jess: "Realy.Why?" *she's single!!*

Rory: she noticed the hint of a smile and joyfulness in him. that made her heart jump "he was always so possessive, and jealous, and anytime I talked to a guy he'd freak out, and I don't think I ever really loved him." she said all that in one breath

Jess: "so, how'd he take it?" *she's single!!*

Rory: "not so good, he left 'bout a thousand messages, kept asking my mom and Lane how I was, and he keeps asking me to reconsider, but I won't."

Jess: "Well, if you want, I'll be your bodyguard, you know, go everywhere you go."

Rory: "Tempting but, I kinda think I'll be alright. Plus, this whole town seems to watch me, so." (during so she shrugs her shoulders in a *I'm ok* way.

Jess: " So you've been single for...?

Rory: a month and 2 days." They sit in silence until Jess leans towards her and moves to kiss her. She leans towards him wanting the same thing. He puts his hand on her cheek, leans in and their lips touched. The kiss starts sweetly, and grows into a passionate kiss. she puts her arms around him, one playing with the hair at the nape of his neck, the other on his shoulder blade. His one hand is still holding her face, the tips of his fingers brushing her hair, the other on the small of her back, pulling her closer until they are right against each other. Finally they have to stop because of the need to breath (who thought of that stupid idea? breathing)

Jess: "I should probly go, Luke said five minutes and that was 2 hours ago." He says with a smile

R: "Okay."

J: Hey, um, you wanna go do something with me sometime?" Lots of hope in his voice shining through even though he's trying to be nonchalant.

R: "Sure, Id love to."

J: "*broad smile* "okay, I'll call you later with details.

R: "Kay, bye! Watches him walk away, also with a broad smile on her face. He turns and waves and almost trips which makes Rory laugh.

J: "Wasn't funny."

R: "think what you want Dodger."
