A/N: This takes place right before Jess leaves for California, and before graduation (MY way.)

***At home, 7:45*** Rory is sitting at the table in the kitchen, her books spread out over the entire table. Lorelai walks in to see her furiously scribbling away at her work, going as fast as possible. "Hey offspring, what's the rush?"

Without ever stopping or looking up, she responds, "I promised Jess I'd come over by 8 o'clock, and its 7:45, I need to get it all done." Lorelai sympathized with her daughter, after all, how could she completely hate a guy who made her daughter this happy? Of course, in true Gilmore fashion, she refused to like him for at least another month. Well, 3 weeks if he was really good.

"Rory, how much do you have left?" Rory shrugged, gesturing to the table full of books in front of her. "Why don't you go now, take a breather. Go drink some coffee, see your lover boy," Lorelai laughed, amusing herself. Rory sighed and leaned back in her chair, looking at her books.

"I don't have that much left, I guess I could. maybe. for a little bit.." Rory said, smiling to herself, "thanks mom, I'll be home by.?"

"10 if you want to be in bed by 11. If you don't want to be in bed by then, how about.11?" Lorelai answered. Rory was surprised, her mother who, recently didn't even want her to be with Jess at all, was letting her stay out with him for 3 hours.

"Really?"

"Yeah, go, go ahead," Lorelai made a shooing motion with her hands.

***Luke's, 7:55***

"Luke??" Rory called, as she stepped through the door.

"You beckoned?" Luke sarcastically called back, standing up behind the counter. "Let me guess, you want Jess? He's upstairs, go ahead."

"Thanks Luke!" Rory ran up the stairs and knocked eagerly on the door. Through the door she heard Jess' mumbled reply, "Luke, I'm not coming to help, you know I'm waiting for Rory!"

Rory opened the door and posed, leaning against the doorframe, "waiting for me, huh?" Rory smirked, watching Jess jump and blush, looking up at her from the book he was reading on the couch. Rory slowly walked over and sat down next to him. "so, what're you reading while waiting for me?" "I'm never going to live down, am I? Yeah, I was waiting for you, okay? We were supposed to meet at 8." Jess sat up behind to her, wrapping his arms around her waist and softly kissing her neck.

"mmm, that feels good," Rory said lazily, closing her eyes and tilting her head to give Jess easier access to her neck. "You never answered my question, you know?"

Without taking his lips from her neck, he answered, "Do you really need to ask?" He lifted his hand to her chin, placing a delicate finger under her chin and bringing her head back to his lips. Placing a soft kiss on her lips, and she gratifyingly leaned closer to him. Slowly, he licked across her lips, his tongue asking for entrance into her mouth. Rory tenderly sucked on the tip of his tongue before opening her mouth fully to let there tongues play.

Reluctantly, she pulled away from the kiss, breathing heavily. Jess grinned, breathing just as heavily as she was. Rory grinned back, "I can get used to this."

Jess lightly kissed Rory's nose, smiling, "yeah, me too.so how long do you have till you have to be home tonight?"

Rory grinned, "You'll be surprised, I think she's starting to warm up to you, I don't have to be home till 11," at Jess' surprised look, she chuckled, "Amazing. I know."

Jess smiled and pulled her closer to him, laying back on the couch, "I can't say I'm sad at all. I like having 3 hours of you to myself, well.other than when Luke pops in every 15 minutes." Jess slowly started kissing her neck again, when Rory gently pushed him away. At Jess' surprised look, she turned to him and smiled.

She gently laid a hand on his cheek, "I know this sounds bad, but we need to talk."

A/N: I know its short, but I'm just getting warmed up.And you know, my favorite thing in the world is reviews. *Wink wink*
