A/N: As this promised this chapter is longer than the last. Updated fast also, I know I'm fabulous, and humble.
My life was going well. Amazingly well. I had a boyfriend, great friends, my mom hadn't killed Jess over leaving, I was getting pretty good grades, Paris wasn't as manic as usual, life was just overall good.
"Rory, come on!" Jess whined. I was dragging him to town meeting and he was trying and failing to protest.
"Jess you come on. You never come to town things, just this once." I pleaded.
"That is what you said last week," he stopped walking abruptly and pulled me in for a kiss. One of his hands was on my waist and the other was inside of my jean pocket. We parted and then he whispered into my ear.
"I can think of something better we could do,"
"Nice try, but I can't think of anything I would want to do more than go to the town meeting." And then I began to walk again. He just stood there for a second and then began to catch up with me.
"You owe me something good." He said
"I'll think of something," I said and then giggled at his expression
We pushed the door of Miss Patty's open and then saw Taylor speaking. I heard Jess let out a slight groan so I elbowed him.
"Ow," he deadpanned. I laughed and then we noticed Taylor was giving us death stares.
"Rory, Jess, please take your seats." I muttered a sorry, but Jess just stood there with a cold look on his face. I pulled him to a seat by the hem of his jacket.
"Now it says here that Kirk, you would like to say something," I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Jess had pulled out a book.
"Jess," I whispered and then nudged him, but he would still not look up from his book.
"Listen to Kirk," I encouraged
"We should have brought food," this made him look up.
"We are going to dinner after, you know,"
"I know but I'm hungry…. Ooh look it's mom. She always has food." My mom was on the other side of the room, but I was desperate for food.
"Psst." I whispered and made hand gestures to try to get her attention. Luckily she had seen me. I waved her over. She looked at Kirk who was still rambling on about something or other. And then she stood very discreetly and moved across the room while keeping her knees bent as she moved. She took her place next to Jess, seeing as that was only place open. He acknowledged her with a nod.
"What Hon?" She was a very bad whisperer.
"I need food." I said leaning over Jess and his book so I could see my mom.
She nodded and then began to rummage through her purse. She pulled out marshmallows and then handed them to me. I began to eat, but she kept looking. Then she gave me Swedish fish and gummy bears. Jess then noticed how much I was eating.
"Rory, you are going to get sick." Both Mom and I laughed at the statement.
"Gilmore's are champion eaters, we never get sick," my mom declared.
"It's true." I said. Then we all stopped talking when we noticed Kirk had also cease talk and was now staring daggers at us. Mom and me muttered a sorry and Jess just returned to his book. I snatched the book from his hands and looked at the title.
"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, you haven't read this yet?" I asked.
"Of course I have. I'm just re-reading it. Now can I have it back?" he asked
"Sorry I doubted you." I said somewhat sarcastically and then I gave him back his book. I looked at his wrist and noticed that we had to be getting to dinner.
"Jess we got to go… Mom we have to go to dinner, see you later." I whispered as I began to stand.
"Kay sweets, you two have fun, not too much fun." She said
Jess and I simultaneously rolled our eyes. And then left the dance studio to go on our date.
A/N: This next part of the story is in Lorelai's POV, I know the whole story has been in Rory's, but I need it to be for the storyline.
I smiled as I saw Jess and Rory leave. I was not Jess' number one fan, but he made Rory happy, and that is all that mattered.
"Okay thank god, they are gone, now we can get to the main issue of this week's town meeting." My head snapped up at hearing Taylor's words. He was obviously referring to Rory and Jess, seeing as they were the only people that just left.
"We cannot continue to let the two of them strut around this town, committing awful acts." He said
"Excuse me?" I asked
"Rory and Jess are causing bad publicity for this town!" Taylor banged his fist on the podium for effect.
"Okay, they kiss in public, what do you want to do, call in the National Guard?" I was getting angry. And now everybody was staring at me.
"You would never see two teens with there hands all over each other in Woodbridge." Taylor declared.
"Taylor!" I exclaimed angrily
"They have probably already slept together," he said nodding at the other town's people who nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I may be a girl, but it is going to hurt when my fist meets your face." I screamed.
"You do not deny it." He said,
"It is their personal life, not your, not any other people other than my daughter and Jess!" I exclaimed and then stormed out of the town meeting.
Once had closed the door I sank down and heard Taylor say, "she didn't deny," and then a chorus of agreements. I groaned and made my way back to the house.
A/N: Rory's POV again.
Jess and I were walking back from dinner at Al's. Our hands were intertwined as we walked.
"That was good," I said
"I did not get what I ordered," Jess complained
"Well, that's Al for you." I say, "Hey, is there any chance you like baths?"
"Nope," he says
"Not even if I'm in one with you," I say suggestively
"You know, there not that bad." I laugh at his change of thought. I kissed him and then whispered, "I love you," into his ear. It was the truth, after all. Then we went and took a bath. A nice slippery bath. Life was perfect.
THE END!! Yah! Thanks to all the reviewers and everyone who gave me ideas and support. Thanks to –twentytwopointeightmiles- for always being there to critique me whether I liked it or not.
