Rory's POV

Chapter 10: Only With You

Jess, Lane, and I were walking down the hall of SHH on our way to English, Jess and I were holding hands. Normally, Dave would be with us but he was sick so he stayed home and it was just the 3 of us, best friends, walking down the hall.

"It's been forever since it was just the 3 of us," Lane observed.

"Yeah, not since 8th grade, when Dave came," I recalled our first day of 8th grade, when we first met Dave.

"Oh yeah, I remember. I didn't like Dave," Jess stated.

"Why?" Lane and I asked.

"Hello, I'm very protective of you ladies; you're my girls. I can't let anything happen to you," Jess told us looking over and smiling a rare smile at us.

"Oh yeah?" I ask as I leaned up and kissed his nose.

"Yeah," he answered playfully while capturing my lips in a brief kiss.

"You guys are sickening," Lane informed us as we made our way inside the classroom and took our normal seats.

"You love it," I said as I got my stuff out and ready for class.

"Yup," was her simple reply.

"Hey, where's Bag Boy?" Jess turned around and asked as he noticed Dean wasn't in the room anywhere.

"Moved back to Chicago," our friend Ashley leaned in and told us, "said he couldn't handle it here anymore. You know with the whole threat of getting beat up again," she smirked at us.

Ashley was sweet yet sarcastic, a Mary yet a Magdalene, she was her own person and we loved her because of it. She helped balance out Lane's total innocence and Paris' crazy Hitler-like antics. She was also the girlfriend of a very good friend of ours, Tyler. That's how we met her, through Tyler and his addictiveness to her. We had known Tyler for quite some time and we had never seen him so infatuated with a girl before. We were happy for him; for them.

"Good, no one wanted him here anyway," Jess stated through gritted teeth.

"Down Cujo, he's gone. No need to worry your pretty little head," I smiled a reassuring smile at him and laid a hand on his cheek trying to comfort him.

"Aw! You guys are adorable!" Ashley exclaimed just as Mrs. Grigorio walked in.

"Alright class, settle down and let's get class started. The sooner you finish the sooner you get out of here and to study hall," she said as she started to write notes on the board about the interpretation of Salinger's words in The Catcher in the Rye.

Jess and I were walking down the street making our way to the bridge when we saw Matt coming out of Doose's with several bags and we started walking over to him.

"What the hell?" Jess muttered as he caught up with Matt and took some of the bags he was carrying.

"Matt, what is all this?" I asked him while we walked to, the Crap Shack, I assumed.

"Candles and stuff," he said nonchalantly.

"Why the hell did you buy candles?" Jess asked with a funny face.

"Um…1 year with Macy…" Matt mumbled under his breath.

"Aw! That is so cute!" I exclaimed and ran over to hug him. The bags promptly got in the way, so it was a little weird, but a hug all the same.

"Ah jeez," Matt grunted.

"Oh…my…god. Hilarious man, you're hilarious," Jess was laughing at Matt, "Don't be so embarrassed, you should have seen what I did for our 1 year. It was crazy." Jess said, he then leaned down and kissed me tenderly, but passionate all the same.

"Yeah, well you guys are different, you're…all…completely and totally perfect for each other," he stumbled over his words. I could tell he was nervous.

"Do you love her?" Jess asked him seriously.

"Absolutely," Matt said with out a doubt.

"Then you'll be fine, that's all that matters," he turned to look at me, "that you love her." This time I leaned up and gave him my own kiss. 'I love him' I thought, 'I'm completely and totally in love with this guy.'

"He's right Matt, if you love her you have nothing to worry about," I told him while gazing into Jess' eyes as we walked.

"Thanks guys," Matt said.

After dropping Matt's bags off at the house, Jess and I went over to the bridge, where we were headed originally.

"It's so beautiful here," I said breathlessly.

"Yeah," Jess said as he pulled me against his chest.

"I love you," I told him.

"I love you too," he told me.

"How long Dodger?" I asked him.

"Forever and ever Cat," he told me. I turned around in his arms and kissed him passionately square on the lips. He kissed me back and laid me down, so my back on the bridge and he hovering over me. We stayed that way for quite some time; just laying their kissing each other with fervor and passion because we loved each other. I changed positions, me lying on top of him, never breaking our kissing. We finally stopped for breath and I laid my head on his chest. Each of us was panting slightly and he was playing with my hair with his right hand, while I played with his left.

"You're amazing," I said to him while I kissed his chest.

"You're beautiful," he told me and kissed the top of my head.

After just lying there with each other for awhile we got up and made our way to the diner for dinner.

As we entered the diner we heard mom bugging dad for more coffee. As usual, he was gruffly and profusely refusing.

"Lu-uke," mom dragged out dad's name into 2 syllables, "I need coffee! I have to deal with Michel in like 10 minutes," she whined.

"No," he simply said and walked away to serve other customers.

"Ah! Jesse! Boy who I have treated like a son since he was 8, get mama some coffee," she pleaded as we made our way to the counter.

"Of course mother dearest," Jess smirked at her and poured some coffee into her cup.

"You were always my favorite diner boy!" mom exclaimed as she sipped her coffee happily.

"Jess! You traitor! You are not supposed to give her coffee!" Luke exclaimed as he came back over to the counter and into the kitchen.

"What can I say? Those Gilmore girls just get to me," Jess smirked at his uncle.

"Whatever," he said gruffly and leaned over the counter to give mom a kiss and then left out the door, mumbling something about a delivery.

"You guys are disgusting, this is a public place," I said while I drank my own coffee.

"Oh yeah, like you guys are any better, your PDA is off the charts!" she replied.

"She is absolutely right, young lady," Taylor chirped in.

"Shut it Taylor or get out," Jess told him.

"You can't kick me out, you don't own this establishment young man," Taylor said defiantly.

"Luke's gone, I'll kick you out if I want Taylor," Jess told him matter-of-factly.

"I love you," I tell him giggling.

"Yeah, yeah," he said and then walked off to refill coffee cups.

"Ahh, our diner boys," mom said dreamily.

Nobody's POV

After Rory and Jess left, Matt had set everything up for his night with Macy. Lorelai and Luke were staying over the diner, Rory was staying over Ashley's and Jess was staying over Tyler's. He and Macy had the house to themselves. He was nervous as hell.

He bought candles, spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, and Italian bread. He set up the candles all around the living room and had soft music in the background. In the kitchen, a candlelit dinner was set for two at the kitchen table and the spaghetti was cooking. He was nervous as hell.

Matt went into his room and got out the necklace and earrings set, that he had bought for Macy. He brought it down to the kitchen and set it on the table. The next thing he heard was a knock on the door, so he fixed his tie, smoothed his hair and made his way to the door. He was nervous as hell.

He opened the door, "Hey Macy," he said and leaned in to kiss her. She was dressed in an emerald green shimmering dress, strappy white heals, and an emerald jewelry set. She looked beautiful. He wasn't nervous after he saw her biting her lower lip as she smiled and stepped through the door. "Happy anniversary," he said nervously.

"Thanks, happy anniversary," she replied quietly.

"I made dinner," he told her as he led her into the kitchen.

"Matt…this is beautiful…" she said in awe. "What's this?" she asked as she picked up the jewelry box on the table next to her plate.

"Your present," he looked at her smiling, "Go ahead, open it."

Macy opened the box and saw a pair of dangly diamond earrings and a matching diamond necklace. "Matt…" breathed out, "This is amazing…I mean…you didn't have to…"

"I wanted to," he said as he encircled her waist with his hands, "You deserve them. You're amazing and I love you," he told her as he leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips.

"I love you too, Baby," she said, then leaned up and kissed him, more passionately then he had done a few moments earlier. Matt sat down and pulled Macy into his lap. They pulled away from each other and touched their foreheads together. "I have a present for you too."

"Oh yeah?" he asked playfully while nuzzling her neck.

"Uh huh," she said giggling. She reached for her purse on the counter and pulled a small box out, "Here."

Matt opened the box and inside was a thin silver band and a thin silver chain.

"It's a promise ring; you can wear it as a ring or as a necklace," she rambled.

"It's perfect," he kissed the tip of her nose; "You're perfect."

"Only with you," she whispered in his ear then kissed it.
