Jess stood there, did he want to kiss her? Hell yea. Did he think it was the right thing to do? Not really. They had just started being friends again, life was good. This might just screw everything up.

God, why did she have to be so amazingly gorgeous?

- - - - - - - - -

Rory wanted him to just seal the little space between them more than anything. It was immensely teasing the way he just stood in front of her. That was when she suddenly heard her phone ring. She flipped it open quickly.

"Hold on."

That was all she said when she stuffed it back into her purse, still open. She couldn't handle it anymore and closed the gap herself.

- - - - - - - - -

The kiss lasted a little while, growing more and more passionate as the seconds went by. Eventually, Rory remembered that someone was on the phone.

She broke the kiss and laid her forehead on his.

"I have to go," She whispered.

"No don't go…" He whispered back and kissed her again.

They broke apart and she giggled then pulled out her phone again.

"Hello?"

"Hey Rory!" It was Lane's voice on the other end.

"Hey Lane, it's really late, is something wrong?" She answered back.

Jess started fiddling with her hair and she could barely concentrate on what her best friend was saying.

"And…answer…band…Zack…" Rory was registering very few words.

"What did you say Lane?"

"Are you even listening to me!?"

"I'm trying but I seem to be a little occupied at this current moment, can I call you in the morning?"

"Yes, I have to go anyways, mama is coming over in the morning and we have to finish cleaning up."

"Have fun! Bye!" Rory slammed her phone shut and stuffed it back into her purse.

Jess looked straight into her eyes.

"Rory-"

"Jess, we need to take it slower, if we're taking anything anywhere that is however, if you want to. Well, we did kiss, err I kissed you, anyways, if you wanna go anywhere with what just happened I don't think now is the right time cause I just got out of a big relationship and I don't want you to be my 'rebound' guy, you're so much more than that-" Rory was rambling on and on and Jess's face grew into a smile then he cut her off with a kiss.

"Slower it is," He finally said.

"Slower?"

"You wanna take things slower right?"

"Oh yea, right, slower."

"How slow?"

"Jess, wait a little while, we'll stay friends for now, but eventually…who knows," She started to turn into her house when he grabbed her arm and kissed her once more then walked away like he was walking on air.

Rory woke up that morning and couldn't help but smile. She got up and changed into a brown skirt that came a little above her knees and a short sleeved, white collared shirt and then slipped into a pair of flats and let her hair fall down straight. She was heading over to a certain diner to see a certain boy.

- - - - - - - - -

Rory walked into the diner as casually as she could and then sat up at the counter when Jess came over.

"What can I get for you today ma'am?" He asked.

"Ma'am? Thanks for that, really, makes me feel like I'm looking beautiful," Rory shot back at him.

"I'm just kidding, of course, and, you are looking very beautiful you know," He whispered the last part and it send chills up Rory's spine and then he kissed her, just the briefest contact.

"Now, is that taking it slow?"

"I can't help myself, "Jess shrugged his shoulders.

"Well learn to."

"Fine," Jess poured her some coffee and then settled down across from her, "How's life been?"

"Umm… life has been me sleeping in bed since I last saw you."

"Sounds like fun."

"So much fun, and what about you?"

"Well, pretty much the same thing as you, plus a couple omelets and coffee."

"I had coffee at home too!"

"Then why the hell are you drinking more?" Jess snatched away the cup of coffee he gave her.

"Hey! Never take coffee away from a Gilmore!"

"I just did! What're you gonna do about it?"

"Will I get it back if I cry?"

"Probably."

"But I can't just make myself cry, it's hard!"

"Then don't cry. It's really simple."

"But I want coffee!"

"You've already had some, wait how many?"

"One!" Rory said with a smile and Jess gave her a stare and then she added, "Plus two."

"Rory!"

"Yours is SO much better though!"

"Fine!" Jess gave her back her cup of coffee and then added, "You're getting good at the whole manipulating people into doing what you want thing, I believe you get it from your mother. I've seen her work her magic on Luke several times."

"Like mother like daughter I guess!"

"Yea, yea…so, any plans tonight?"

"Why, you feel like taking me somewhere fabulous?"

"Maybe I am, or maybe I just wanna hang out…"

"Oo, that sounds fun too!"

"Well are you free tonight?"

"I'll have to check my oh-so-busy schedule," Rory looked up into the air for a minute then looked back down towards Jess, "Yea, I'm free."

"Good, I'll come over at eight, wear something short and tight."

"Jess!"

"What?" He had an innocent look on his face.

"You're so lucky you're good looking, you know that?" Rory said and then picked up a glazed donut, ripped off a piece and threw it at him then continued to eat the rest of it herself as she walked out, "See you tonight!"

- - - - - - - - -

Another night, another date with Jess, these days, everything was going Rory's way it seemed. Her and Jess were really getting to know each other again and it seemed their relationship was going to go somewhere. A couple more days went by and it was finally the day that Luke and Lorelai were to return from their honeymoon. Rory and Jess went to the airport and stood waiting.

"Hey Gilmore!" Lorelai Gilmore screamed over all the other noise in the airport.

"Mom!" Rory went running towards her mom and Lorelai dropped her bags and they hugged. Lorelai tripped over the bags on the floor and then they ended up on the floor.

"Hopefully no security cameras caught that extremely graceful moment!" Lorelai laughed as they sat on the floor. Luke helped Lorelai up and Jess helped Rory. They all started to walk towards the car as Luke and Lorelai spoke about the wonderful time they had on their honeymoon.

Jess loaded everything into the back of Lorelai's jeep, which Rory drove, and Rory and Lorelai got into the car.

"So, it seems you and Jess are mighty comfortable around each other!" Lorelai spoke in hushed tones.

"What? Mom, we're friends."

"With benefits?"

"Mom. No. We're friends…for now anyways."

"What about Logan?"

"It's a long story…"

"Tell Mommy everything!"

"Let's get going!" Jess knocked on Rory's window and spoke. He then got into his car with Luke.

"Tell Mommy. Now." Lorelai said again.

"Let's at least get out of the airport first, then I'll tell you."

- - - - - - - - -

So, Lorelai learned about everything that was going on in her daughter's life. The late night visit, the break up, the dates, the party, it seemed Rory was having a fabulous time. But Lorelai was scared she was going to get her heart broken all over again.

A/N: So, this was one of those boring fill in chapters that might help set up for later things. I know, it's short, but it's better then nothing, I'm surprised I even have time to post this! I've had this done for like a week, but never found even like two seconds of time! So annoying!

Readers, keep reading!
