"What are you doing here?" She asks
"...I need to talk to you" I hesitates
"Jess.." Dean tries to warn me
"I need to talk to you" I say more stern
"What's going on?" Dean asks clueless
"What are you doing here?" She asks once again
"Rory please" I beg. God help me
"Rory..."
"Go, Go home" Thank God she was sending the Giant home
"No!" he tries to argue
"Yes Go you should go" she says, and he sighs and leaves
"why won't you leave me alone? You won't go away" If only she knew
"Rory?" I ask one more time
"What do you want?" She yells at me
"I don't know I just wanted to see you... talk to you. Just..." I couldn't get out the words
"What?" She asks
"Come with me" Okay I was not planning that
"What?" She looks confused as I feel, but then I become more confident
"Come with me" I say once again
"Where" she testing me, but she's also thinking about it
"I don't know. Away" Good job Jess, just go dig the grave already
"Are you crazy?" Maybe the fumes in my travelling has messed with my brain
"Probably. Do it. Come with me. Don't think about it" What am I talking about she's Rory!
"I can't do that" And she should know I already knew that
"You don't think you can do it but you can. You can do whatever you want" She can. And she should know thats the biggest thing she ever told me
"It's not what I want" A guy can wish
"It is! I know you" That I do
"You don't know me" She really has forgotten
"L-look we'll go to new york. We'll work, we'll live together, we'll be 's what I want it's what you want too" Say yes come on Rory
"No!" Try another point Jess
"I-I want to be with you but not here, not this place not stars hollow. We have to start new" A clean slate no past tension, no hate, nothing
"There's nothing to start!" But there is, there's enough to begin a book store
"But your packed your stuff is all in boxes it's perfect your ready, and I'm ready. I'm ready for this, you can count on me now I know you couldn't count on me before, but you can now you can!" I think I was trying to convince myself just as much as her
"No!" Please stop saying that word
"Look you know we're supposed to be together. I knew it the first time I saw you two years ago, and you know it too. I know you do" It was so true. If only she would get out of denial
"No, no, no, no, no" I have to get her to at least think about being with me...
I kiss her. Just like that, like all my other great ideas tonight I don't think about the outcome.
She kissed me back for a good 2 minutes then I guess she was hit by reality and she pulled back and slapped me.
Damn. She was abusive.
I looked her in the eye and I said.
"Don't say no to make me stop talking or make me go away Rory Gilmore. And you better be damn truthful only say no if you really don't want to be with me" I test her expression, seeing if I should just run but I don't see anything making me weary of storms.
"What do I say if I want to be with you, but not run away?" she asks breathless
I let out a mixture of a sigh/laugh. She soon joins in and pecks me on the lips.
"You scared me there for a second I thought you were gonna say no"
"Well,I kinda was but then you actually mentioned being with you very seriously and I re thought my decision" she says. I kiss her again and again. Repeating three words that had become my life mantra since the day I met Rory Gilmore. "I love you" Kiss "I love you" Kiss "I love you"
"Love you too. Even if half the time you are a sarcastic, hard ass, james dean wannabe" she says barely pulling away.
Who would have known what a difference a kiss could make.
