Rory sat in front of her computer with her papers round the desk and in little piles around her chair. She licked her lips taking a sip of the coffee cup and placed it back on top of the files. The cup fell sideways spilling over the paper "NO" she stood quickly and lifted the cup grabbing tissue's from her drawer to soak up the liquid.
Rory dabbed at the soiled papers and growled putting the wet tissue in the bin. Grabbing another handful of tissue's she cleared it up the best she could. She picked her office phone and dialed Kelsie's extension "Miss Gilmore what can help you with?"
Rory picked the stained papers "Please go to Lucy and get her article printed again"
"Sure"
Rory put the phone down and her own personal phone rung "Hello" she answered moving the paper in the bin.
"2 more days"
Rory lent back in her seat "I know it feels like you've been gone years" she said.
"Are you pouting Miss Gilmore?" Jess asked.
Rory smiled "No"
"Yes you are"
Rory let a sigh of exasperation "you caught me" she laughed.
"I always knew there was a childish Rory Gilmore somewhere"
"Well she's gone now" Rory said "So how was Florida?"
"Hot"
Rory flipped her hair even though Jess couldn't see it "I miss you" she whispered.
Jess whispered back "I miss you too"
Rory pouted.
"Turn that frown upside down" Jess stated "Tuesday"
GG
Rory typed nonstop on the keyboard only pausing to backspace, her phone rung but she continued to type. "Hello" she answered having the phone cradled to her cheek and shoulder while she still worked.
"This is security down at reception, we have no authorization to let Jess Mariano in reception"
Rory held the phone and sat up "Its cool Blake I'll come down" she said putting the phone back and saved her document before standing up and walked towards the elevator. The elevator dinged she walked out the door to the lobby.
Rory went through the glass doors "You didn't have to bring it to me" she said taking the folder from him.
Jess rolled his eyes "and make you stop working" he said "I'm not going to make you drive a few block when I could just drop it off"
Rory held the folder to her chest "You said you had work" she said.
Jess took his hand from behind his back "I lied" he stated "I had an appointment with my publisher today" he said putting his hands in his pockets "as from the 10th of September my new book has sold 600,000 copies"
Rory's eyes widened "Jess" she exclaimed putting her arms round his neck and kissed him on the lips. "Its only been released for 3 weeks" she said pulling away.
"I know" Jess said.
Rory tightened her hold round his neck "I'm so proud of you" she stated.
"Its just luck" Jess said.
Rory moved side to side "well you have the best luck" she said grinning widely "we're are going out later"
Jess smiled "its a weekday" he stated "what have you done with Rory?"
Rory kissed him "well my boyfriend is going to be on the bestsellers list so I think the other Rory will have to come out and play today"
Jess licked is lips "Mm I don't think I know this other Rory"
"Well this Rory in front of you is not the yacht stealing type but the other one totally is"
Jess moved his hands from her sides down her waist "Grade A criminal that Rory 2.0" he said "better watch out"
Rory stuck her tongue out at him.

Rory cuddled into his side as Jess lent on the bar "so tell me best seller author is it all it can be expected?" Rory asked bringing her wine to her lips and her other arm round his shoulders.
"It's still surreal I mean I get people sending me fan mail. I mean 10 years ago I was just starting out by going around to try and get the suspect in stores. I go into a bookstore and I see all my books in a row on the recommended shelf, I mean there's a line of Jess Mariano books ready to be bought and read to inspire some kids it's… I haven't got the word for it" Jess explained.
Rory smiled "You know I meant what I said this morning" she said putting her glass on the table "I really am proud of you"
Jess nodded "tell you the truth that means a lot to me" he said.
Rory shrugged "I always said you could do it" Jess moved side wards and moved round the seat so Rory could stand in between his legs "I love you and" she paused "thank you for sending me that copy"
Jess moved her hair away from her face "I love you to"
Rory looked down "really?"
Jess leaned in "I never stopped" he whispered against her lips and kissed him.

This is the moment that she wanted the perfect guy to see the real her. The Rory Gilmore who grew up in a small town loving books and coffee, not some big journalist at the New York Times.
While kissing Jess Rory put her cup on the floor. She lifted herself to place her legs on the other side of him.
Jess stared up at her as she leaned forward putting her hands on the back of the sofa behind his head "I love a good movie as the next person but I'm bored" she whispered against his lips and smiled grinding her herself into his.
Jess groaned lifting one of his arms and placed his hand on her back settling it above her bum.
Rory stared at the ceiling as she laid on her side tucking herself against Jess arms that circled her shoulders "I think I'm seeing a pattern forming" she stated feeling his fingers tracing her bare collarbone.
Jess smiled "well I can't help that I'm just hard to resist"
Rory licked her lips "Or maybe your just hard a lot"
Jess shook his head and stared down at her.
Rory raised an eyebrow "What"
Jess shook his head again and leaned down to kiss her on her lips "Nothing" he said.
'This is Rory, Leave a message'
"This has gone on long enough Loin-fruit" Lorelai's voice said.
Jess sighed.
Lorelai continued "Its bad enough I never got calls from you when you didn't have a boyfriend but it feels like i don't have a daughter" she explained "Please Please tell me his name" she pleaded "Call me when you can hopefully before thanksgiving. Bye" message left on 6th October 11.20.
Rory moved her hair "you have to let go of me" she said "I need to go" she blinked up at him. Jess pouted tightening his hold on her "Jess" she shrieked hitting him on his bare chest. Jess kissed her laughing against her lips and loosened his arm from her shoulder.
Rory sat up brushing her hair away "I swear my mother has the worst timing" turning round on the sofa and standing up to grab her blouse where it sat on the top o the lamps.
Jess groaned "I still suggest naked Friday" he pointed at her.
Rory threw his boxers at his head "Dirty man" she smiled and walked over to her answering machine.
Jess moved his boxers away from his face.
Rory picked up the phone and dialed her mothers number and took her mail from the table "Me and Luke and William are not here at the moment if you would like to leave a message say your thing after the beep..."
Rory sighed "answering machines are so annoying" she stated "Mom call me back" she said putting the phone back and walking around the sofa. She sat down next to Jess as he had put his boxers back on and had sat up. Rory flipped through the letters and leaned back into Jess arm on the back of the sofa "Why have i got post for you?" she said handing it to him.
Jess smiled and pushed it back "Its for you" he said.
Rory raised an eyebrow "Your very weird today" she put the rest of her post on the coffee table and sat back to open it. Rory pulled out a piece of paper looking up and opened the letter.
9th October 2015
'Rory'
It may seem strange I'm sending you post when I could could just give it you but if I didn't I wouldn't be able to ask you.
Each morning I have to leave early because you have to go to work.
Each lunch time you call me because you left one of your papers in my apartment.
Each night you don't get back to your own apartment until late.
Each night I knock on your door because you were meant to have come over to mine and I find out the next day you fell asleep on the sofa like you do other times.
Each day I have to leave your apartment and go back to mine.
"Yes"
Jess pointed to the letter "You didn't finish it" he said.
Rory shrugged "I was going to ask but you beat me to it" she stated. Jess took the letter "What you doing I want to keep it" Rory exclaimed reaching for it as he held it out of her reach "Jess" she whined.
Jess grinned "When were you going to ask me"
Rory hit him on the chest "I changed my mind because I wanted to tell you that I am going to leave my job first" she stated "I've applied for about 15 jobs so I'm in the middle of traning new recruits to take my place"
"I thought you loved your job" Jess said "As long as I've known you the times was your dream end goal"
Rory sighed "Not anymore, the first year was new and exciting but I had more late nights and I swear I was losing weight from not eating because I was so busy. All I was doing was reading and changing other people work. After being there for another 8 more months I dreaded getting up and going into work" she explained. "if that was my dream job reality is crushing it and you know what it doesn't bother me"
Jess leaned forward and kissed her "how long did your pro and con list take?"
"Like 3 days" she laughed.
"If that's what you want to do then that's okay"
'This is Rory, Leave a message'
Rory sighed "yeah it is and yes"
"Call me back Rory" Lorelai said and the answering machine beeped.
Jess traced her cheek with his finger "I think you should tell her now"
Rory pouted "I wanted to keep you all to myself few more weeks but I do owe my mother after dodging her calls"
Jess untangled himself from her and stood from the sofa "You should ring her now"
Rory took a deep breath out "Okay"
