A/N: This is how I think "I Can't Get Started" (season 2 finale)(for those of you like me, Sookie's wedding day) should have ended. I'm a die hard Rory/Jess shipper and I know they don't end up together. I don't hate Logan, I just like Jess better. No flames, please! They will be ignored!
I don't know what I was thinking! No, that's a lie. I know exactly what I was thinking.
I was thinking how beautiful he looked just standing there in his well-worn blue jeans and jacket. I was thinking about how only he would just pick up and move for me. I wasn't thinking about Dean or my mother or the fact that I was supposed to be in Sookie's wedding in about five minutes. No, I was only thinking of Jess.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, the slightest smile tugging at the corners of my mouth.
"Hello to you, too." He had more of a teasing than annoying tone in his voice.
Make sure he's here for you, a voice inside my head shouted. "Is everything okay?"
"You look nice."
I blushed. "Thank you." He's avoiding the question. "What are you doing here?"
He shrugged, like it was obvious, and maybe it was. "I moved back."
"What?" I couldn't believe it.
Another shrug. "I moved back."
I glanced away nervously, but my eyes went right back to his after a moment. "W-Why?"
Man, he liked to shrug. "Just…wanted to." Yep, he's here for me!
At this point, I could have just said "oh" and nothing would have changed. However, I like my primary choice much better.
I closed the distance between us. I took two steps forward, placed my hands at his side, and pressed my lips against his. He seemed a bit shocked at first, and I was worried when he didn't respond, but after a fraction of the first second, he pulled me closer.
Although a part of me was thinking about how wrong this was and how I should just pull away now, a much larger part was dancing for joy and shouting, "YES! Finally!"
I reluctantly tore my lips from his as he began to wrap his arms around me to deepen the kiss. I could run away from him, begging him not to tell anyone as I went, I thought. He would agree because he's Jess and he wouldn't want to hurt me. Then I'd go to D.C. for the summer while he found someone new. I'd continue to date Dean until maybe one day when we'd finally be able to be together.
"Rory?" Jess, arms still wrapped firmly around my waist, shook me from my reverie. "Are you sure?"
I knew what he was asking. He was asking if I was prepared to leave Dean. He was asking if I was prepared to let down my mom. And, whether he was asking this or I, if I was prepared to go on his life's rollercoaster of emotions.
I looked deep into his brown eyes and responded by kissing him. The first was soft and shy. This kiss was so much more. I kissed him with every bit of passion and love I felt for him and he returned it tenfold. Suddenly, Jess lost his balance and soon we were on the grass laughing against each other's mouths.
I knew Dean was waiting for me. I knew Mom and Sookie would be needing me to walk down the aisle in a few seconds. I also knew that this journey would not be an easy one. I knew all this and more, but I didn't care. I only cared that I was finally getting what I wanted and that I was rolling around on the grass with the man I loved.
That's what I was thinking.
A/N: I usually hate it when an author puts notes at the beginning and end of a story, but I felt this one needed it. Anyway, I hope I'm not the only one the loves Rory/Jess. I'm sorry if this wasn't dirty enough for some, but I can't help it. If I get many many reviews and feel up to it, I may continue it (i.e. how she broke the news to Dean, if she did break the news to him at all, what Lorelai did when she found out). Please review! I'm an addict, be my supplier! Again, flames will be ignored to the highest extent of the word!
