sequel to my first story "special occasions", the r/j version that i

to finish posting the other one before i started with this one but then my
computer crashed and between school and work and.... well, let's just say
that i'm a happy girl now that it's all fixed. so i PROMISE that this will
be posted on a regular basis. AND, i will be finishing ...And Some Things
Do, but a lot of that has to be rewritten thanks to the computer drama.

Too Much To Ask (A Sequel to 'Special Occasions')
01 - All That You Can See
"Mmm..." Jess watched Rory's face broke into a small smile as she and Jess broke apart. Tightening his hold around her waist and leaning back against her headboard, he smiled back at the dreamy expression on his girlfriend's face.
"That good, huh?"
"Better." She closed her eyes, obviously relishing the memory of his lips on hers. Ready to relive the moment, Jess brought his face down onto hers. Just as their lips touched, he heard the familiar clamor of the Gilmore jeep pulling into the driveway.
"Looks like it's about that time." He jumped off the bed, suddenly feeling cold. All Jess wanted to do was climb back into that bed and continue the make-out session that had been going on since 3:00 that afternoon when he had surprised Rory by picking her up at Chilton. But he couldn't. Lorelai was home and that meant one thing.
"Am I seeing you tonight?"
"Yeah." The guilty expression on Rory's face almost made him wince, but he really did at her next outburst. "I just hate this!"
"You and me both..." Jess knelt down by her bed, taking her hands in his. "But your mom has made it pretty clear she doesn't want me around." Jess' face hardened as he tried to block out Lorelai's disapproving face, glaring at him when she'd first found out that Jess and Rory were dating.
"I know." The confirmation came out in a whisper as Rory looked down, avoiding Jess' pleading eyes. He wanted her to be happy, but Jess could tell that all their sneaking around was really starting to take a toll on her.
Sighing inwardly, Jess gave her hands another soft squeeze, bringing her eyes back to focus on him. "If you don't want to do this anymore..." The well-intended statement broke off as Jess felt the unfamiliar sting of tears forming in his eyes.
"No! Don't even say that!" Rory's enraged voice broke through, their eyes meeting again. "I am happier with you than I have ever been, and it's not my fault that my mom refuses to accept that. She is the one bringing this on herself." Jess smiled at her passionate expression.
"That, Miss Chilton Prep, sounded almost rebellious."
Rory's face returned the smile as he spoke, the atmosphere in the room immediately lightening. "What can I say? You're finally starting to rub off on me. Pretty soon I'll be terrorizing Taylor and supergluing all the light switches in Star's Hollow High School off." She smirked, informing him that she'd heard about his latest prank at the high school.
"Dear God, what will Stars Hollow think, their little princess taking a vacation on the dark side?"
"Who knows? Maybe I'll even lease a cave down by the lava flow. It might be nice to have a place to spend the summers. If fact-" Jess cut her off with a quick kiss; he knew that he had to get out of here because it would be only seconds before Lorelai was in the house and catching the two of them.
"You're welcome to stay at my place anytime, Gilmore." With that he stood up and was climbing out the window. Easing his body out, he poked his head back into the room, a smirk on his face. "We'll discuss how you plan on paying rent later."
Laughing, Rory touched her lips to his one last time. "I'm sure you'll figure something out." After one more kiss, he pulled back and looked into her dancing eyes, the yearning to stay becoming greater with every second.
"So I'll see you later." He was walking away before she had a chance to answer him. This was his least favorite part of spending time with her, he hated listening to her say goodbye. Besides, the day wasn't over yet. Odds are, she and her mom would come by the diner for dinner, so he'd get to see her then. And they'd agreed to meet in their "spot" that night as well, so he still had reason to smile.
