Summary: Completely AU. This story has never been written before – prepare yourself for something new. It is a Lit all the way, because Milo makes me all warm inside.
Disclaimer: Even after writing three chapters, I still own nothing.
A/N: I must give an apology – I haven't included any Stars Hollow goodness since chapter one, forgive me?

"So, Rory, do you have a boyfriend?" Beth wanted to know.
"No. I haven't had a boyfriend for almost two years." Rory looked down slightly as she spoke.
"That is nothing to worry about; it's been the same for all of us. The last boyfriend I had was when I was sixteen. Now a days I just meet boys and hook up, I'm not really looking for commitment." Beth explained as Rory, Adriana, and Ryan laughed.
"Well, hooking up around here is fairly easy, especially because we have three gorgeous men right down the hall." Adriana said suggestively as Beth and Ryan blushed.
"You've hooked up with all three boys that live down the hall?" Rory asked incredulously.
"Well, yeah." Beth said.
"Wow." Rory couldn't believe it.
"You're a virgin, aren't you?" Beth pressed.
"Uhm, well, yeah. I mean, I've never really felt a real connection with someone in order to go that far."
"I envy you." Ryan confessed.
"What do you mean?" Rory was quite shocked; Ryan envied her?
"You're a virgin. You're going to wait for that special someone and it's going to be amazing. I was immature and never waited.Now when I meet that person who's meant for me, it's not going to be as special."
Rory blushed and gave an understanding nod to Ryan.
"I'm not quite sure if this counts for anything, but have you SEEN the boys down the hall?" Beth said, trying to get pastthe sappy bonding moment.
Rory laughed at this. "Can you tell me about them? It seems like you guys are all really good friends with them, andI don't want to be the odd girl out when they get here."
"As we've said, there are three of them. They are all models who are also working for Audrey Komen. Their names are Cameron, Cole, and Damon." Ryan said.
"Cameron is a huge sports junky, handsome, and has beautiful shaggy brown hair." The three girlssmiled simultaneously while Beth was describing him to Rory.
"He's also a vegetarian, so don't ever offer him meat or talk about how amazing your hamburger was. Trust me, I've done it before and it isn't fun listening to an hour rant about animal cruelty." Ryan continued.
"I don't think I could go 24 hours without eating meat." Rory chuckled.
The girls laughed, and thenAdriana started to talk about Damon.
"He is strikingly good looking. Damon was the first person I was ever'lust' with, so to speak.Healso has brown, but his is curly. If he'd ever grow it out he'd had an afro. He plays soccer, so he has an amazing body, and he's really nice. He makes you feel like you are the only girl in the world." I think you'll like him, he is the more responsible of the three."
"Of course when he finds a new girl, which is usually the day after you do anything with him, he loses all intrest in you." Ryan chimed in.
"Yeah, that is one thing that's horrible about the the boys, they arepigs. The only good side to that is if you're ever looking to just have fun and mess around with a guy, you can always count on those three, they don't ever except anything from you unless they really like you, and that is extremely rare."
"What about Cole? What's he like?" Rory was intrigued.
"Cole is an all around nice guy – He's kind of shy, and is a complete nerd. He's always talking about the news and the stock buisness and what's going on in third world countries." Ryan said.
"An attractive nerd, nonetheless." Adriana added.
Ryan ignored her comment and continued. "He has short, blonde hair, and a nice build. He normally wears polos and dress pants – Like I said, he is a nerd."
"But once again, he is one nerd that you'd love to have." She directed this towards Rory. "You are just upset because he only hooked up with you once and then moved on to Beth." Adriana pressed, this time to Ryan.
Ryan tried to ignore the comment, but ended up blushing whileBeth grinned evily.
"Enough talk about the boys, they are going to be here any minute, and my hair is still a mess!" Beth shrieked.
The girls laughed and the conversation was soon forgotten.

As Rory was putting the finishing touches on Beth's hair, she heard a knock on the door.
"I'll get it" Adriana said, seeing as she was already downstairs.
Shortly after, Rory heard voices of who she assumed to be "the guys".
"Thank you so much Rory, I like having you around, you're amazing at doing hair." Beth laughed lightly.
"It's all thanks to my Mom; she's insane when it comes to hair. I've never seen anyone do hair better than her in my life."
"Well it sounds like the boys are here, let's go introduce you."
Rory sighed and got up. I really hope I don't make a fool of myself tonight.
XxXxX
"Relax, I'm sure she's fine."
"You're sure? That's it just sure? You're not positive? Well thanks for lifting my spirits."
"I am positive she's fine."
"Just fine? Just fine? FINE? That's it, fine? Well, that reassures me."
"I am positive she is fantastic." Luke sighed, annoyed.
"Oh my god, you did not just say fantastic." Lorelai could not help but grin.
"According to my record, Luke has already said fantastic four times today."
"I love the fact that Kirk has taken it upon himself to record the town's dialogue.. wait, did you just say Luke has said fantastic four times today?" Lorelai said as her eyes seemed to bug out a little.
Kirk nodded. "There has actually been speculation."
Lorelai was intrigued at this. "Speculation? Of what?"
Kirk leaned in closely to Lorelai, as if what he was about to tell her was one hundred percent confidential.
"There's been speculation that Luke swings both ways."
A silent groan escaped Luke's mouth, and Lorelai decided to milk it for all t's worth. "Meaning?"
"We, the town and I,have hypothesized that Luke is gay." Kirk re-explained it.
"Ahh Jeez, Kirk, out, NOW."
Lorelai had long forgotten about the well being of Rory, and was now, along with the diner's other occupants, laughing hysterically.
"I cannot wait to bring this up in the town meeting."
"OUT LORELAI."
Lorelai's gasp was heard throughout the entire small town.
"You've got to be kidding me."
"Fine, stay, whatever, but don't think for a minute you're gettingcoffee."
"What's the point of being at Luke's if I can't have any coffee?" Lorelai pouted.
"And all this time I thought you were just coming for my looks." Luke saw the smile possessing Lorelai's face, and he quickly added "Yes, I know, it's dirty."
Lorelai smiled brightly as Luke smirked and went back into the storeroom.
Then, when Lorelai was sure Luke was out of sight, she pulled out her phone anddialed Rory's number..

Jess couldn't believe his eyes as he saw who followed Beth coming down the stairs. He actually thought his mind was playing tricks on him.
'There is no way this is the same girl from the bookstore. She's not a model. Not that she isn't beautiful it's just that she isn't the model type. Oh gosh, snap out of it Jess, you still don't even know the girl.'
As Jess was lost in thought, Rory was being introduced to the rest of the boys.
"And this is Jess… Jess?" Beth began to introduce the two of them.
Rory looked at Jess curiously, no one had mentioned him, but they all seemed to know him.
Rory took his newfound state of emptiness to look him over. He had dark brown hair and was wearing rugged jeans and a white shirt that fit his body perfectly. He had a leather bracelet on that looked well worn, and another one on his opposite hand.
Rory was surrounded by a warm feeling when his chocolate brown eyes met hers.
Jess seemed to shatter out of the frozen position he was in when he saw her crystal blue eyes.
Rory held his sight for a couple of seconds before looking away quickly, avoiding a blush. She offered her hand as she had to the previous three boys, and introduced herself shakily.
"Hi, uhm, my name – I – I'm Rory." She could barely formulate sentences, but decided to keep a cool expression on her exterior.
"I'm Jess." Of course Jess was composed. Jess was always composed; he'd never physically show his feelings. However, the inside of Jess was an entirely different story; his stomach was twisting into a million knots, and he was afraid if something didn't happen, they'd be permanently tied.
"It's nice to meet you, Jess." Rory's verbal skills had returned as she finally began to calm down.
The others in the room were completely oblivious to the exchange, because they were too busy engaging in their own conversations.
Rory and Jess had stopped shaking hands, but never broke eye contact.
After about two minutes had passed, Ryan's voice flooded into the silent world inside Rory and Jess's minds. "Alright, enough talking, let's go to Silver!"
Everyone agreed eagerly as the 6 models left, Rory and Jess silently trailing behind them.
XxXxX
Rory, Adriana, Ryan, and Beth had taken one car, while Jess, Cameron, Cole, and Damon filed into another.
Once in the car, Rory began asking questions.
"How come the three of you never mentioned anything about the fourth model?"
"Who, Jess?" Beth said with disbelief in her voice.
Seeing Rory's nod, Beth continued. "Oh he's not a model." Beth laughed.
"He's not?" Rory's cheeks turned into a warm pink as she slightly suppressed a blush.
"No, although I'm actually not sure why." Ryan said with question evident in her voice.
"I'm not either, obviously the boy is beautiful," Adriana said, "but Jess has never really talked about modeling."
"Well, I know one thing for sure, Audrey talks about him all the time." Beth added.
"Good or bad?" Rory was extremely interested at this point.
"Audrey asks him to model for her about twice a month."
"But he never accepts?"
"Never. Like I said, I'm not quite sure why, but if you turn down modeling for Audrey Komen consecutively, you've probably got a good reason."
Rory let the subject of modeling and Jess drop, but decided to find out more about him. "Does he hang out with Damon, Cole, and Cameron alot?"
"Oh all the time, I'm surprised we didn't mention you to him, he completely slipped our minds for some reason. It's probably because he doesn't live in our building; he owns his own store in fact." Ryan said.
"Really? What kind of store does he own?"
Just as Ryan was about to answer, Rory's phone went off.
Rory smirked when "Non Caffeinated Elixir of Life" scrolled across her phone, and she answered it cheerfully, while shooting an apologetic smile to the three other girls.
"Hey Mom!"
"Offspring!"
"How have you been? How's Stars Hollow? Is everyone doing okay? Has Luke killed Taylor yet? How about Kirk, what's he doing?"
"Oh my God, kid, take a breath."
"Sorry, we're on our way to a new club, and I don't really have much time to talk." Rory frowned with guilt.
"So you weren't firing off questions rapidly because you were excited to see how life in the hood is going, but because you have to leave? I'm not sure if I should be hurt or proud." Lorelai took a long pause for effect and although Rory couldn't see her, Rory knew she was feigning thought.
"Oh shut up, you know I love you and our hood, I just really have to go, I promise I'll call you back Mom. I'm sorry that our call was cut short."
Lorelai heard the amount of guilt in her daughter's voice and her disappointment immediately shattered.
"No, no, hunny go ahead and have fun. It's your first night, go wild, have a couple hundred shots, and make sure to call Mommy the minute you feel a hangover coming on, I'm going to need to hear your displeasure."
"My mother, who knew she was so full of angst?" Rory slightly chuckled as she began to feel less guilty about hanging up with her mom.
"I sure as hell didn't. Love you, kid."
"Love you too, Mom."
"LORELAI, can't youread? NO CELL PHONES IN THE DINER."
"You're on the phone in Luke's?" Rory asked incredulously.
"Well, having a model as a daughter has its perks." Lorelai said as more of a question, and more to Luke than to Rory.
"Hey! Don't use me for your own personal pleasure!" Rory sounded offended.
"Dirty!"
Rory smirked. "Well I have to go, we're here,I love you mom, bye."
"Bye sweets, love you too." Lorelai hung up, downed the last of her coffee, and exited the diner, pretending not to notice the lazers Luke was burning into her back.
--------------------
A/N: There you go! I hope you all liked it. I know I said you'd find out why jess isn't a model, but I'm going to save it for when Jess and Rory have a conversation. I hope that fufilled your Lit part of this chapter, the next chapters will have more and more Rory/Jess action/scenes.
As I said before, It's my first FanFic, so I'm not sure how everything goes. PLEASE review, and send me any thoughts on what you like / don't like in this story, It's been fun so far!
