Chap 11

She sighed in her slumber, slowly waking up. Something was odd; she just couldn't put her finger on it. Blinking a couple of times, she tried to turn around in bed only to collide with something strong and warm. Carefully, she turned her head to see a smirking Jess kissing her shoulder blade.

Rory yawned contently, "What time is it?"

Leaving feather light kisses up to her neck, he mumbled, "Around nine."

She giggled, "God, I haven't slept this much since ever. At the very least since college."

He frowned and shook his head, "Sometimes I think you should take some vacation from yourself." He paused and kissed her neck before continuing, "What time does Will usually wake up?"

"He was really tired after going to the movies and the bookstore yesterday…" she said with a broken voice, trying to ignore the feeling of his tongue tracing the vein of her neck and concentrate on his question, "I think it's safe to say he'll sleep at least until noon."

He smirked against her skin, "Good, cuz I kind of woke you up for a reason…" he said before pressing his erection against her thigh.

She half laughed, half moaned.

"What's so funny?" he murmured into her hair.

"I thought I was the one looking for sex in this…thing," and before he had the chance to answer she pulled him against her and kissed him hard.

He moved on top of her, pinning her against the bed, kissing his way down to her breasts he worked on her body as the professional he was. She heard him whisper, "Try not to make too much noise," and before she could understand what was happening he was kissing his way down her body. As he kissed her thighs and held her legs apart, working his lips on her, the only rational thought she could have was to do what he had suggested and try to be quiet. She took a pillow and buried her face on it, trying to muffle her moans and groans. But as he drove her closer and closer to the edge she couldn't suppress all the noise she was making. As she came he moved up and kissed her while entering her with a slow thrust. As the waves from her orgasm faded, he stared picking a pace, thrusting faster and harder until she came again, this time with him.

Rory closed her eyes and tried to catch her breath in vain, her heart racing furiously. Jess didn't move from his position on top of her, too spent to do absolutely anything. For a few minutes they just stayed there, their bodies sweaty, their breathing labored.

He looked down at her with a smirk, finally answering her comment, "You are the one looking for sex. But it looked like you forgot, so I just thought I would remind you."

She grinned, "Yeah, sure, that's why you woke me up."

He nodded, "Yup, now let's go back to sleep. I'm tired." He said already yawning.

She giggled and turned to her side bringing the sheets with her. He wasn't the kind of guy who likes to cuddle even though he often did it out of obligation and she knew it, so she let him be. However, he felt comfortable with her, so he just did what he felt like doing. He lied on his belly and threw an arm loosely around her, hiding his face in her hair. Not hugging her but keeping her close.

Will finished eating his burger and asked excitedly, "What are we going to do now?"

Rory giggled and ruffled his hair, "What do you want to do?"

The little boy looked out of the window trying to think of something. "Jess, do you like parks?" he asked hopeful.

"Yeah, of course," he smiled down at the boy, before looking at Rory to know if it's okay.

She nodded and dropped a few bills on the table, "Let's go, I know a park you'll love Will."

Will jumped up and ran to the door with a mad grin, followed by the adults.

"You didn't have to pay for my lunch," Jess told Rory as they left the diner and walked down the street.

"It's no trouble," she shrugged and a few minutes later they arrive at a cozy empty park with a small playground.

"Wow, that's so cool, Rory!" Will almost screamed before running to the swings.

Jess turned to her, "Yeah, that's so cool, Rory," he mocked playfully. She pushed him away laughing.

"I don't what why you're mocking. You're the one who said you liked parks."

He smirked and pulled her arm pouting, "But I do like parks."

She rolled he eyes faking frustration but couldn't help the smirk that appeared on her face. He kissed her softly but after a moment she pulled away, walking quickly towards Will and calling, "Will, be careful or you'll fall off the swing!"

Jess smiled at the scene glad to see this caring side of her. He looked around, onto the streets on the lazy Sunday afternoon with a calm expression and then frowned. An incredibly pretty girl with straight brown hair and green eyes was walking towards him on her obviously expensive high heels.

"Jess, darling, I thought you were busy this whole week," she exclaimed in a high-pitched voice as she grabbed his arm.

His face suddenly became blank. "Client called it off on the last minute."

A feline smile crossed her face, "So, you're free now?" she concluded.

He looked at the swings where Rory was playing with Will while watching him. He thought she looked a little sad, maybe disappointed; but she was just another client so he must be imagining things.

"Jess?" the girl in front of him purred.

"I'm sorry, I've already made plans."

The girl looked pointedly at Rory, "Really?"

He sighed frustrated, knowing he will have to leave the park for at least a few minutes in order to keep Rory and Will away from any messes. "Yeah, actually I'm getting late. I should go."

"Oh, okay," she said disappointed she wouldn't get her chance with him that night. "I'll call you when I get back to New York?"

He shrugged not caring either way, "Okay."

They both left the park and down the street until parting ways. He went into a Starbucks while she headed for the subway. He waited in line wondering why his client's presence had upset him so much. It's not like Rory had caught him red handed, in some kind of lie. She knew what his job was; he worked for her, for crying out loud! But for some reason it felt different with her. It wasn't a sacrifice to spend time with her. And he thought if they had met in some other way maybe they could have had a friendship of sorts, but now it just seemed not likely. She was needy in more ways than one, which made their 'relationship' very convenient for her, and surprisingly they got along, but that was it. She was his client; she was a CEO in a big company who had studied at Harvard and earned more than he could imagine. He sighed. She just needed him for one thing and one thing only, and that was his work.

After a few minutes he went back to the park with a bag of pastries in one and a tray with coffee on the other. When he stepped into the park again he found Rory kneeling in front of Will talking to the little boy. As he walked in their direction he could hear Rory saying things like 'he wanted to stay but he had to go' and 'you'll see him again one of these days' while the boy kept his head down.

He shook his head, "Hey Will, guess what I brought you?"

The boy looked up and ran to Jess with wide eyes, "Jess! I knew you didn't left! Rory said you had to go but I knew you wouldn't!"

He looked at Rory before looking at Will with a smile, "Of course I wouldn't! And guess what I brought you?"

"Coffee!!!" The boy said jumping before Jess handed him one of the 'to go' cups. He sipped the liquid and made a face, "This is not coffee!"

Jess chuckled, "It is a cappuccino. Black coffee is too strong."

Will glared at him but went back to the swing to drink his cappuccino.

Jess glanced coldly at Rory before handing her a cup of coffee, "You shouldn't have told him I had simply left."

"You left with that girl, what was I supposed to think?" she questioned.

"That I was trying to get her out of here for both your and Will's sake?" he asked bitterly.

Rory looked away, "Client?"

He nodded.

"I don't know why I even asked," she said shaking her head.

He just rolled his eyes, "Look, she left, that's all that matters, right?"

Suddenly her blue eyes are staring into his, "What did she want?"

He sighed, accepting apparently it wasn't that simple. "She wanted to see me tonight."

"Shouldn't her have booked you 48 hours ago?" she asked with venom.

He stared coldly, "She tried, I told her I was busy the whole week. When she saw me she thought I could make some time for her."

Rory bit her lip not believing the words that were about to leave her mouth, "Do you really charge her?"

He shrugged, "She's a client."

"She looks like a model," answer back.

"She is a model," he corrected.

Rory laughed bitterly, "Oh, great!"

Just then he noticed her mascara wasn't as perfect as it was when they left her place an hour ago. It looked like she had spilled a tear or two and he wondered if it had really happened or it was just his imagination.

"Look, I'm here, so what's the problem?"

She turned slowly to him, looking him in the eye. "Why are you here?" she asked, honestly wanting to know the answer.

He sighed, "Because you invited me."

She looked down, "Is it because I invited you or because I'm a client?"

He shook his head, "Think what you want," he told her before walking towards Will. She watched from far away as he told the boy they had to leave and helped him into his coat.

"What time are we going to Stars Hollow, Rory?"

"I'm not going to Stars Hollow, hon. Mom is coming over to pick you up in about an hour."

"Oh, I thought since I had come to visit you, you would go visit us."

"I'll go to Stars Hollow some time soon, okay?"

Will nodded and yawned.

"Do you want to go watch some cartoons and take a nap?"

He nodded rubbing his eyes.

"Okay, then go say goodbye to Jess."

Will looked up at Jess and extended his hand, "It was nice meeting you," he said trying to look grown up.

Jess knelt down in front of him and shook his hand. "It was nice meeting you, too."

"Am I going to see you again?"

"I hope so."

"You could go to Stars Hollow with Rory!" he suggested.

Jess looked up at Rory, "We'll see about that."

Will smiled and waved before running to the other room.

"So…" Rory started but trailed off not knowing what to say.

"I guess I should be going. I'm not the kind of guy who meets the mother."

"Right," she nodded getting the wallet out of her purse and counting some bills.

He looked at her in disbelief, "What are you doing?"

"I made you spent a whole weekend with me, cancel your rendezvous with your other clients… I have to pay you."

He groaned, "You never get it right, do you?"

"Get what right? I'm just another client, aren't I?"

He bit his tongue since she was just another client. He just sighed and looked away.

"How much do I owe you?" she asked.

"$250."

"That's your starting price. You spent two whole days with me."

"You want to give me more money than I'm charging?" he looked at her faking incredibility.

"No, it's just… doesn't this money make a difference in your life?"

He chuckled. "Don't worry; I'll manage without a couple hundred bucks. I'll just overcharge someone else," he joked - or so she hoped.

He looked down awkwardly as she started counting the bills silently before folding them and handing him. He shoved the money into his pocket, "Thanks."

She shook her head, "No problem."

"Call me if you want to schedule something," he said kissing her cheek.

She nodded silently and opened the door for him.

Half an hour later he was in a cab, parked in front of his building. When he got his payment to pay the cab there were $600 instead of $250.
