Chapter 4: Fight At the Freak's House

"Rory, stop!" Jess took a deep breath, she was kissing him and removing his clothes, was he insane to stop this?

"What?" She pulled back. Oh my god, I'm an idiot and a slut. Damn me. He's stopping this…I freaked him out.

"What are you doing, Rory? I mean, this is really amazing, but you don't want this…you can't…" Jess regretted every word. The part admitting he liked it, the part convincing her to stop. Everything.

"What? Oh my God…I shouldn't do this. I want to, but I can't. You're right." Rory muttered blushing furiously. He smiled slightly at her nervousness. "What came over me? I tried to stop it earlier…but you!"

Jess looked up at her. She looked livid. "You pushed me into the wall! How could you, you-you-you seduced me!" She managed to splutter out.

Jess openly laughed. Rory couldn't tell how genuine it was but she wasn't laughing with him.

"You are seriously going to tell me this is my fault? I seduced you? You took off my clothes, princess, so you better start shifting the blame." Jess was finding her argument ridiculous and enjoyed watching her scramble for a better one. He slowly put his t-shirt back on.

"You followed me to fix the sprinklers, you came in the house, you tested me with that stupid nap and wringing out of the shirt!" Rory was getting angrier, partly with herself, but it was so much easier to blame him.

"That is your idea of seduction? Wow, bag boy, really didn't teach you anything about love and romance." Jess regretted mentioning love, but hopefully she didn't notice. He bent to put on his shoes. But was soon sideways on the floor. Rory was standing over him, looking furious.

"Don't you dare insult Dean! He's a perfect boyfriend and we screwed that up!"

"We?" Jess slowly sat up and finished putting on his shoes. He looked up at her amused.

"Yes! We! You! Me! Us! I can't believe this happened…Dean's so wonderful. I cheated on him! The first time, maybe not, but this was—" Rory was throwing her jacket back on. She began to pace.

"Yeah, what was that first time all about? The wedding? The kiss and run? Look, Rory, the only reason I stopped you from leaving is because you can't do that to me! Definitely not twice!" He looked so hurt, Rory didn't know what to say.

"Do what to you?" She slowly pulled on her shoes and stood next to him.

"You can't kiss me for some cheap thrill and then run back to Dean. It's not fair." He could have kicked himself, he sounded like a three year old.

"Well, I'm sorry." Rory said, slightly defensive.

"No your not! If you were sorry for the wedding, this wouldn't have happened." He snapped at her, gesturing between the two of them.

Rory was dumbfounded. Moments ago, he was rapidly losing clothing and they were making out, and now…they were fighting worse then she could remember. She didn't want to fight Jess. She liked her close encounters with him and kissing him was more thrilling than anything with Dean was. Oh god, that is slutty! I like getting along with him because we flirt and kiss? I really am unfair to him.

"Well, Jess, what do you want me to do? I'll prove I'm sorry." She glanced at him, he was watching her carefully.

"You really want to know? Seriously, would you do it?" Jess walked slowly towards her. Would she actually listen to him? No, damn near perfect little Rory would say 'yes' to doing whatever he asked just to hear what it was, but a definite 'no' on following through.

She was lost in his eyes, unable to look away. Say yes, damn it! You owe him, after this whole thing…

"Yes, of course."

"Fine…" Jess took a deep breath and opened his mouth to tell Rory the request that she promised to obey. Jess didn't want her to back down. "Promise to do this?"

"Okay, you are starting to scare me now." Rory laughed a little.

"Promise."

"What? Are you kidding me? What are we, three?" Should I pinky swear?" Rory laughed again, it was easier.

"Whatever." Jess sighed as if he was exhausted with her teasing. He wanted her to follow through, although she probably wouldn't want to.

"Okay, I'm sorry." Rory pouted slightly. " And I promise."

"No, its not you…I just need to know that this isn't falling on deaf ears."

"Jess! Come on, you know me!" Rory liked this banter with him, just discussing stuff back and forth. It made her nervous not knowing what he wanted out of her. She liked that feeling.

"A deadline. I'll give you a week to prove you're sorry." Jess suddenly realized how controlling he sounded. I sound like Dean—idiot. "But you don't have to do this. Back out now, if you want."

Rory paused slightly. He was giving her options. Subconsciously, that was so unfamiliar. She normally had to fight to do things her way or she'd hide them, like when Jess was over with Paris. "I'm in, including deadline. Now spill."
