'Jess….'
'Rory…. Luke wanted me to come down and let Loralli know that everything was unpacked, Fran said she can finish the cake, and that mini burgers are a go….. I didn't realize you would be here… oh and you left your cell at home…'
'Thank you Jess….'
'Rory… you- you look beautiful…'
'Thank- thank you jess, mom if you don't mind I'm gonna change…. It fits me right… how about you too?'
'Yea, they fit…'
'Well good- that's good everything is done… I'm just gonna change and go now… bye mom, Lane, Sookie…. Jess.'
'Bye Hun, see you at home.'
'Yea love you mom….'
With that Rory dashed into the change room she changed out of her dress into her jeans and t-shirt before leaving the change room to go to the book store. She couldn't deal with him right now as much as she always dreamed of the moment he would come home it never went quite that way. She couldn't believe it she felt so stupid, she should have known he would be coming for the wedding I mean why wouldn't he, he is Luke's nephew… but why didn't anyone tell her. She couldn't wrap her mind around it, man did he look good, not the same little bad ass that she first met, but not completely different either, he still had that bad boy charm look in his eyes. Those eyes that stole her heart, those eyes that could make her melt at every look at them, those eyes that made her fall in love with him in the first place.
She walked into the bookstore with the refreshing smell of old leather on books and paper, the smell that could always calm her. She grabbed a random book off the shelf and sat in the back corner that she always sat in to calm herself. She relaxed and began to read a familiar book. She couldn't go home in case he would be there, she was not sure what she should say to him, or what she will do. She is planning to avoid him till the wedding, and then he would go back home and she would never see him again.
The last time she had seen him was when she was in her last years of collage at Yale when he asked her to run away with him, and she refused to do it.
And ever since that day she regretted ever doing it, she was not regretting the fact that she denied Logan's proposal, or that she also hurt Dean. It was all because of Jess, he had this effect on her that she couldn't describe, and she was in love. It took her years to finally admit it to herself but it was true.
