Chapter 4:

A/N: I finally got some inspiration for this story…. I already posted chapter three but forgot to put an author note thanking everyone who reviewed and gave me ideas you really helped me….I think I know how I want this story to go and I know almost everyone loves Luke and Lorelai, I do love Luke but in some of the episodes I believe that he acted more like Lorelais father so I am going to have to break them up because I love Jess and Rory much more and I am writing about them and not Luke and Lorelai…So forgive me if you hate it but it's a relationship I will have to sacrifice…..

And to sonya13 thank you so much for the ideas. I agree with the things I shouldn't put in. Him going to Yale was never what I had in mind thank you for the ideas they really helped I really appreciate that.

And thank you to dodgerxreturns for your suggestions I'm not sure if I will do that exactly but it was what I originally put…

Well thanks to everyone who loves the story and read now I'm probably boring you…

Oh and I own nothing

Jess laid in his old bed with the rag on his face thinking about Rory had said. He loved her, he always had, ever since he first met her. He thought he had fallen out of love with her when he met his girlfriend Alex. She was everything he was but she didn't have the blue eyes that he had gotten used to seeing all those years ago. He wanted to be with her but he screwed it up and told Rory that he wanted nothing but a friendship with her. He knew they could have been something this morning, he and Alex had broken up 2 weeks ago after he told her that he didn't love her. It wasn't a lie but he could have lied to her and continued to be with her, yet something in him told him to tell the truth. Jess pondered for a while why he was bugging himself over something that couldn't happen before taking the notebook he had brought to write in from his back pocket at started to write some thoughts for a book he was writing. He had been putting thoughts in notebooks since he left for California and had 2 notebooks filled with thoughts. Its how he wrote his first book and was trying to get his thoughts together to start his next one.

While Jess was upstairs Rory was downstairs sipping a very large cup of coffee with her mom.

"Oh buck up buttercup," Lorelai said with a mischievous smile to Rory.

"He just confuses me mom, after all these years he still mesmerizes me and I hate him just as much as I like him," Rory growled and set her head on the counter.

"Oh hun he has always gotten you riled up," Lorelai laughed and sipped her own coffee.

"Yeah but I'm older now and I have a boyfriend, it shouldn't bother me," Rory argued.

"I hate to break it to you Rory but you had a boyfriend when you first met Jess too," Lorelai pointed out.

"Thanks mom," Rory said sarcastically and set her cup on the counter.

"Oh anything for my loving daughter," Lorelai laughed but stopped to grab her cell phone out of her purse, "hello her wonderful beautifulness speaking how may she grace you with her greatness today?" Lorelai asked into the phone.

"Hey Lor," Chris greeted.

"Hey my rich and famous friend," Lorelei joked.

"Oh I'm not famous yet," Chris laughed.

"Oh that's right I mistook you for Dean Cain, he just won't stop calling me, I have had to change my number three times," Lorelai lied and received a laugh on the other line.

Rory watched as her mom had a funny conversation with her father for a moment before getting off the stool to check on Jess. Lorelai saw Rory leave and in turn set a tip on the table for Luke before leaving for work.

"Hey Jess," Rory greeted when she got to Luke's apartment.

Jess looked up from his writing to see Rory standing in his doorframe.

"You busy?" Rory asked and Jess shook his head no.

"What can I do for you," Jess asked as Rory sat on the side of his bed.

"Why did you really come back?"

"I told you, to see if you took my advise to heart, you're a smart person Rory and I knew you didn't belong in that life you pretended to be in," Jess explained.

"Thank you Jess," Rory mumbled and Jess shrugged.

"You have nothing to thank me for," Jess replied.

"But I feel like I do, you helped me so much," Rory replied and Jess took her hand.

"Don't worry about it," Jess smirked and went back to his writing.

"I loved you to," Rory confessed a few moments later. She was laying next to Jess on his bed watching him write.

"I love you to," Jess smiled and looked over at Rory.

"But its complicated," Rory looked at her hands feeling like she was 10 all over again.

"Ror, we're like Spongebob and Patrick, we complete each other and alike in so many ways but it would just be complicated to be together," Jess explained.

"You like Spongebob squarepants?" Rory asked completely taken back.

"Hey, he's educational," Jess defended.

"He's a sponge," Rory laughed.

"Shut up," Jess replied and went back to his writing.

"I'll let you write," Rory sighed and stood up.

"Your perfect Rory, don't forget I said that," Jess called to her.

"When did you get so sentimental?" Rory asked.

"I'm just good like that," Jess replied and turned away from her with a smirk.

Rory shook her head while she laughed and left the apartment feeling happier then she had been lately.

Lorelai entered the Dragonfly with a smile on her face. She had just gotten off the phone with Christopher and was laughing the whole time. He always did that to her, he was her funny partner. Like bugs and daffy; amateurs by themselves but hilarious together. Lorelai walked into the kitchen for a cup of coffee and to greet Sookie.

"Hey Lorelai, how are you?" Sookie greeted.

"Oh just fine my friend," Lorelai smiled.

"That fight was weird wasn't it," Sookie stated.

"Oh one for the books, its like when mike Tyson bit off that guys ear."

"Oh stop, that's just gross, I feel like throwing up now," Sookie said with a disgusted look on her face.

"Well don't worry, it's over," Lorelai said and walked out of the kitchen.

Lorelai's phone went off and she saw the ID was Luke and picked it up.
"Hello my love," Lorelai greeted.

"Hey, I wanted to ask if we were on for tonight?" Luke asked.

"Oh can't, we have to go to Friday night dinner," Lorelai replied.

"Why do I have to go?" Luke asked.
"My mother, she insists that since you will be in the family then you must partake in family functions," Lorelai said and heard Luke sigh, "If you don't want to go you don't have to."

"No, no, I'll go," Luke said.

"Luke don't go if you don't want to," Lorelai repeated.

"Do you mind?" Luke asked.

"Nope, now I gotta get to work," Lorelai said.

"Okay I'll see you later," Luke sighed and hung up.

"Bye," Lorelai said to no one and set her phone on the desk.

Rory sat in her room doing her homework on her bed trying to concentrate when a knock came on her window.

"How did I know," Rory smiled.

"Are you psychic?" Jess asked and Rory laughed.

"Nope, but I know you so well," Rory explained.

"Well then you should know that I am going to ask you to go on a drive with me," Jess replied.

"Your hurt though," Rory argued.

"But I'm not dead, come on Rory, I promise I won't kill you," Jess said and Rory gave in.

Jess waited for her to get her stuff then saw her come out of the front door.

"Where we going?" Rory asked.

"Oh just a place I like to call home," Jess said cryptically and pulled her down the street to his car.

They drove for 4 hours before they entered New York city. (I really don't know how far away it is but that's how long I put it)

"Why are we going here?" Rory asked.

"I'm bored," jess shrugged.

"So you kidnapped me cause you were bored?" Rory asked.

"Hey I didn't kidnap you, you came on your own free will," Jess defended and ran his hand through his hair.

"Jerk."

"Princess."

"James Dean wanabee."

"Girl."

"Boy."

Jess gasped and looked offended by that last comment which made Rory bust up laughing. Nothing could get her to stop. It wasn't until Jess stopped the car and bribed her with coffee did she.

"You are a cold girl Rory Gilmore," Jess said.

"Which is why I drink coffee," Rory replied and sipped her coffee slowly.

"Come on," Jess said and took her hand.

"Where are we going?" Rory asked while she followed jess.

"Somewhere that you have never been," Jess said continued to pull her down the street.

Luke walked into the Dragonfly with his tool box in hand. Lorelai had called him earlier and told him the banister was wobbling and needed to be fixed. He came over when Lane got off her break.

"Hey," Lorelai greeted him with a kiss and pointed to the staircase.

"Hey," Luke replied and set to work.

It wasn't but 5 minutes when Chris walked in with his daughter.

"Hey Lor," Chris waved.
"Well hey there, is she ready?" Lorelai asked.

"Yeah, she wants to see Taylor and poke fun at him," Chris laughed and handed Lorelai a backpack.

"Wow this is it?" Lorelai asked.

"She's gotten better, I told you," Christopher smiled.

"Well great, we will have lots of fun," Lorelai smiled.

"Great, bye Gigi, see ya Lor, I'll pick her up at your parents tonight," Christopher said and left the dragonfly.

"Okay, Gigi, lets call your sister and ask her to come hang with you while I work then we can poke fun at Taylor," Lorelai said and Gigi smiled with an eager nod.

Lorelai picked up her phone and glanced up at Luke who looked very unhappy. She sighed and let it ring.

"I have never seen the city like this before," Rory smiled.

"IT gives it a new perspective," Jess nodded.

They were on the statue of liberty or going to it on the boat. Rory was breath taken with how beautiful it looked.

"This is wonderful Jess," Rory smiled and Jess nodded.

"Don't worry about it Rory, I never got to show you this when we were kids," Jess said while they climbed the steps.

Rory laughed and the walked the rest of the way to the top in silence. It wasn't very crowded but had people in the room.

"Wow," Rory gasped and Jess looked out the window as well.

He hadn't planned it like this but it happened non-the less. The sun was setting and a glow was around the ocean.

"I didn't plan this," Jess confided.

"But its wonderful, thank you Jess," Rory smiled and they turned to each other.

"Its gonna get more complicated now," Jess sighed and kissed her before she could respond.
