A/N: So, another day, another add on to my story, wahoo! I checked out my stats today, and I must say I'm happy! Lots of people have me on their alerts list! Now…if only I could get more reviews…hint, hint. Anyways, I wanted to say something freakish was going on with those alerts last time, and I have no clue what it was. Anyone here watch Heroes? Well, if you like Jess, then you probably do, and OH MY GOD Peter is gonna go BOOM! I don't think I can handle that! Sorry, had to throw that out there and now, on with the chapter
Disclaimer: Gilmore Girls, not mine. Jess, I dream I own him 3

"Ever wonder what would have happened if you'd 'come away with me'" Jess asked as Rory leaned her head on him and their hands intertwined with each others.
"We'd never be here, right now."
"Did you want to come away with me, or did you really mean that 'no'?"
"I wanted to go away with you more than anything, but it scared the crap out of me. Every time I saw you, and had to go out with a bang didn't you?" Rory looked up into his eyes.
"Just wanted to leave an impression."
"Trust me; you left one, every single time."
Their hands continued to tangle together as the just sat there in peace, looking up at the ceiling of Luke's apartment.
Jess leaned over and shut off the light. Rory leaned on top of his bare chest and started to fall into a steady sleep as Jess's arm was around her.

Life was good, in some ways so good that it seemed impossible to actually exist. Jess and Rory were known for being seen around town being the perfect couple. But that was it, were they actually a couple? Yes, they dated, but that didn't imply anything. Truth be told, they both wanted a relationship but they didn't want to talk about it because things right now were going really well and the whole "take it slow" clause kept coming back into play. Relationships were complicated, but they both knew that their relationship was no longer casual.

Rory walked into the Stars Hollow Book Store. She waved to Andrew and proceeded to the back where she found the new shipment of books. She started unpacking and cataloguing them. She had gotten her old job back here a couple days ago and she loved it.
As Rory was working, Lane Kim walked in and went up to her best friend.
"Rory!" Lane called and gave her a hug.
"Lane! What are you doing here?"
"Well, I felt we needed to talk, so talk."
"Umm…how's life?"
"Pretty good, and you?"
"Very nice, can't complain."
"How's Jess?"
"LANE!"
"What?"
"Now I see why you wanted to talk to me, you just want to know about my man situation don't you?"
"Maybe…because you're keeping your best friend out of the loop! Now spill! And don't forget Logan!"
Rory started off on her tale again. Recently she'd told her mother, and now she had to tell Lane, but she didn't mind.
"Happy?" Rory asked.
"Ecstatic! Oh my god! Aren't you living a riveting life?"
"Oh yes, most definitely!"
"So, are you like stringing along two men?"
"Excuse me?" Rory asked, baffled.
"Well you and Logan are still dating it seems, and same goes to you and Jess."
"Oh wow, I guess…but I'm not in a relationship with either so I guess it's ok…maybe? I don't know! Stop asking hard questions!"
"So, who do you like better?"
"I don't know."
"Who's the better kisser?"
"Lane!"
"What, that could be a vital part of the decision!"
"I don't need to make a decision right now!"
"Yes you do!"
"No I don't!"
"Yes."
"No."
"Lorelai Leigh Gilmore, pick a man."
Rory looked into the eyes of her best friend, "Lane, I can't. And I don't want to because I'm not one of their girlfriends. I'm just a girl in their lives."
"Rory, you're way more then that to the both of them," Lane gave her friend a look told Rory that Lane was not lying to her at that moment.

Lorelai and Rory decided they wanted a girl's night so they decided to kick Luke out of the house, along with Jess, who enjoyed hanging around here. They turned on the TV and started watching random channels.
"Luke never lets me eat junk food, we need to kick him out more," Lorelai stated as she reached for some marshmallows.
"That's because he loves and wants to see you live until the age of 45, and I'd like that too. But…I love this stuff so I'm gonna side with you," Rory reached into the bowl of m&m's and dropped the rainbow colored circles into her mouth one by one.
"So, talk to Logan lately?"
"Nah, he's busy with his work and all, so if he wants to call me, he can."
"That kinda stinks. Maybe you should call him!"
"Or maybe, he could call me? That sounds like a brilliant idea."
"Fine! Yes, he can call you!"
"Good choice agreeing with me!"
"How's the job?"
"I think I'm going to have to pay Andrew instead of getting a pay check again…"
"Rory, we need to wean you off books."
"NEVER!" Rory threw a marshmallow at her mother.
"That is no way to behave missy! Who taught you such atrocious behavior?" Lorelai threw a snowball at Rory.
"And you wonder where I learn this?" Rory licked the pink sugar on her face and then started pelting her mother with Oreos.
This started the great 'Mother-Daughter Food Fight' of the year as Lorelai dubbed it. The house ended up covered in a sugary coat, but the two of them didn't care. They had fun.
However, one Luke Danes cared very much and so when he came back with Jess, he nearly flipped. Jess however, simply fell to the floor laughing. Those Gilmore Girls just had a way of making him smile like no other.
For the rest of the night, Luke tried to get Lorelai and Rory to clean up and work but they refused. They'd start and then just have fun instead of work. Jess decided to help out for a while too. So Lorelai, Rory, and Jess were having fun together that night trying to see who could get Luke to burst open first.
Of course, it was his beautiful bride Lorelai Victoria Gilmore who won that award.

Lane's words were buried in Rory's head, but she shoved them away. Tonight, she had a date with Jess and he was taking her out to a fancy restaurant just for fun. A major good thing about Jess was that he didn't feel you needed an occasion to be extravagant. Rory put on a deep red halter dress that ended at her knees and put her hair up into a fancy bun. Her bangs swooped across the font of her face with a couple extra curly strands on the side. Rory's mother and Luke (I guess you could say father) were out at the movies tonight and she had the house to herself to get ready. She pulled on a pair of shiny, dangling earrings and then a necklace to match. She pulled out her favorite strappy black heels and black purse to match. Then she went into the kitchen and started to drink some coke. When she heard the sound of the bell, Rory leaped out of the chair at the kitchen table, checked her make-up in the mirror and ran to the door. She opened it up and threw her arms around the figure in front of her.
He let out a laugh, "I missed you too ace!"
