K Songs in the last chapter don't belong to me but I can't remember who they belong to so the credit goes to whoever wrote them.
Rory dropped the piece of paper as if it had scalded her. She took a few deep breaths and took out a pen.
The next morning in the diner Jess avoided her eyes. She got her coffee to go and when she left he noticed a white envelope sitting on the counter. He picked it up and stuffed it in his pocket to read later. He opened it during homeroom that morning; it felt like it had been burning a hole in his pocket.
Dear Jess,
I found your letter. I'm sorry I didn't show up last night, I was breaking up with Dean and it took longer than I expected. What I want to say I can't write. Meet me on the bench, same time.
And he smiled.
She sat down on the bench approximately five minutes early that night rubbing her hands back and forth in the cold air. He sat down next to her a few seconds later handing her a Styrofoam mug of coffee. "Thanks." She said sipping slowly savoring the warmth that filled her body. After a few moments of silence she spoke up. "There's a lot that you don't know about me."
"There's a lot that you don't know about me." He replied glancing at her briefly.
"I'll fill you in, if you fill me in."
"Favorite Book?" He asked.
"Anna Karenin and the Catcher in the Rye. You?"
"The sun also Rises, Catcher in the Rye."
"Copycat. Favorite Movie?"
"No such thing as a bad movie."
"Amen.Guilty Obsession?" She asked.
"Cooking, fixing stuff."
"Promise not to laugh?" She asked glancing at him with raised eyebrows. He nodded, smiling. "Sweet Valley." He burst out laughing.
"That was so much worse than I thought it would be."
"Shut up," she commanded swatting him. He retorted by tickling her sides. She squirmed and wriggled, standing up and jumping away from him. He followed her, tripping over a loose cobblestone sending them both to the ground. She sat up quickly and was on her feet in seconds. "I should go." She said forced, without moving.
"Yeah me too," he didn't move either.
"So I'm going to go."
"Yeah."
"So yeah," she walked five steps before turning and hurrying after him. Without looking she kissed him and realized she was where she belonged.
The end
Here's a sneak peek at my latest fic comin at ya in a few days.
When the entire Stars Hollow population leaves town to watch the basketball team play in the National finals Rory stays behind, much to Deans dispair, to study for finals. Jess also stays behind. Is one weekend enough time to fall in love?
