Ch. 13 Just like old times
Author's Note: Thank you for the reviews and for reading. Another short chapter. I really like this one though. Oh and I love Twilight and Dangerous Minds but I don't own them. Please enjoy and once again thank you.
(Rory's point of view)
When Jess suggested a movie night I got really excited. Mom and I still have the occasional movie night. It's different now though we normally include Luke and April. It's still fun but different. I picked up Chinese food on the way to Luke's. Jess was already waiting for me when I arrived. It took the food and we headed upstairs.
"I've got the movies ready." Jess said grabbing paper plates for us. "You promised no Almost Famous." I said noticing how excited he was. "I kept my promise. You are going to love my pick." He said with a smile. "What are we watching?" I questioned. He handed me a DVD. "Dangerous Minds seriously?" I questioned.
"Have you seen this movie?" I asked. "No but it seemed very mock able. I mean Michelle Pfeiffer in the ghetto that seems mock able." Jess answered. I nodded. "That's true it does." I said. We both laughed.
The night was so great we watched that movie then another one. We were just having fun. After the movies we started talking. I had forgotten how easy it is to talk to him. Jess smiled a lot. It was the biggest change from when we were 17 years old.
"What book are you reading?" Jess asked. "I can't tell you." I answered embarrassed. "Wow if you can't tell me it must be really bad." Jess teased. "It is." I mumbled. "Oh come on Ror you can tell me." Jess said. "No I can't." I said.
We were both quiet for a few minutes. I saw him eyeing my bag. I gave him a mean look. He just laughed. We both kept quiet. I wanted to tell him but I knew he would make fun of me. Mom made fun of me.
"What are you reading right now?" I asked hoping to distract him. "I am reading The Winter of Discontent." He answered. "John Steinbeck nice." I said. "What are you reading?" He asked me again. "No way sorry I'm not telling you." I said. "Fine be that way." Jess responded pretending to be mad. I sighed then he drove for my bag.
"No Jess stop." I yelled as we both wrestled for my bag. Finally he pulled it away from me. Then he pulled out my book. "Oh no way." He said laughing. "Stop it it's not that funny." I said. "You're reading the Twilight Saga it is that funny." He said laughing harder. "Shut up." I responded. "Awww I'm sorry did I hurt your feelings." He said. "Quit being a jerk." I said really mad this time. "I'm sorry Ror really I am." He said seriously.
"How long are you going to be able to stay in town?" I asked changing the subject. "At least a few more weeks. I want to get Mom and Doula settled in. Then I was thinking of hiring some help for Mom." He answered. "Sounds like you have a good plan." I said. "Yeah I mean I don't have to hurry back but I am working on a project I do have to get back to soon." He admitted.
"What kind of project?" I questioned truly interested. "It's a secret." He answered. I pouted a little. "I'll tell you soon." He promised. "Fine then." I said. Jess pulled me into a huge hug. "Thank you for tonight Jess." I said honestly. "You're welcome." He said as he pulled away.
He was still looking into my eyes. I started feeling nervous. I wasn't sure why I was so nervous. He came closer and pulled me towards him. Then he kissed me softly on the lips. Before I could pull away he did it again. Then he started kissing me more passionately. As he pulled away I started freaking out.
"Rory it's okay." Jess said softly. "Okay um no it's not okay." I said. I grabbed my bag and ran. I didn't stop until I got back to Mom's and my car. I hurried and drove away. I wasn't sure if Jess had followed or not. I never looked back. I couldn't.
