Disclaimer: I own nothing at all.

A~N: Ok people, here goes, I got a whole bunch of Trory votes, but that doesn't mean anything to me. I knew that most of the reviews would be for a Trory. I just want to have a review telling me why I should write the story about the guy I will write it about. Thank you though for all the reviews, they help me write. They truly do. Sorry for rambeling on forever. Well, enjoy the story.



That's Just the Way Things Work Out

Chapter 8

Rory paced back and forth feverishly. 'I have to call him.' She thought to herself. 'It would be really rude not to call him. Given the way I feel about him.' At that moment the phone rang.

Rory picked up the phone hesitantly, not knowing if she wanted it to be him or if she did not want that to be him at all. "Hello"

"Hey"

"Oh hey Jess, what's up?"

"Not much. I'm just sitting here."

"Well that's nice."

"Yeah isn't it. Anyways, I wanted to know if you wanted to go up to the library this afternoon. I heard that they got two new books in."

"Wow, two new books. That brings the total to somewhere in the vicinity of twenty books right?"

"Yeah it does. So…

"Of course I will go up there with you, I have nothing better to do."

"Thanks for making me feel important."

"My pleasure. I will meet you at Luke's. See you in a few. Bye Jess"

"Bye Rory."





"Sorry about that." Jess told Rory as they were walking away from the library. "Who knew that the two new books would be a Spider Man comic book and a Sweet Valley High book?"

"Hey I used to like Sweet Valley High." Rory replied.

"Ok, ok chill. Everyone has one of those books that they are most embarrassed about now that they read when they were younger."

"Ok, what was yours?"

"I would definitely have to go with the Encyclopedia Brown series. I used to be obsessed with him. I would read all his stories and then go around the town looking for crimes to solve. I was such a loser."

"No, no you weren't." Rory said trying to hold back her laughter. "If it makes you feel better. I always wanted to be in the babysitter's club. One summer day, Lane and I were about ten, we started a babysitter's club. We were very unsuccessful. The only client's we ever got were Babettes' gnomes."

"Yeah your right that does make me feel better." Jess said laughing under his breath.

"I have a great idea."

"Oh yeah, what's that?" Rory asked through a fit of giggles.

"Why don't, one day next week, we go out to Hartford to that big Barnes and Noble and just look around there forever?"

"That sounds great. I am already excited. What day?"

"How about Thursday?"

"Umm can't. Lane is back for two days from her first two weeks of Korean Bible Camp."

"Oh ok I understand." Jess said rather disappointed.

"What about Tuesday?"

"That's great," he said a little over enthused. "I have to go to work Rory, but I will talk to you later."

"Bye Jess. Thank you so much."

"For what?"

"For just taking me and letting me forget about all my troubles and just letting loose and having fun."

"This is you letting loose?" Jess asked sarcastically. "We have to get you out a little more."

"Ok Bye Jess. Maybe we can talk later?" It was more of a question than a statement.

"Yeah. That would be great. I will call you when I am done at the Diner."

"Ok bye and Jess?"

"Yeah?"

"Really, thank you."

"No problem Rory." Then Jess walked into the diner, with Luke shouting at him from the background.





"I can't believe that Jess has been so nice to me lately." Rory said as she was sitting on the couch talking to her mom.

"I can."

"Why do you say that?"

"He just happens to be a perfect angel right after you break up with Dean? It seems a little suspicious to me."

"Mom, come on, you said that you were going to try to be nicer to him."

"Ok, ok I won't hate him with the fire of a thousand suns. It will just be the fire of 32 suns?"

"That's better."

"Ok why don't we go get something to eat, and then a total movie night and eat as much food as we can until the cranes have to come to lift us out of the house."

"Great idea. Come on, let's go get the goods."







The End for now. I am still unsure as to whom I am going to pair her with. But Jess was just so cute in the last episode that he may have taken a little lead. But don't worry for all you TRORY fans out there. Tristan is going to be in the next chapter. I don't know if he is going to be nice or rotten, but he will be there. Keep the reviews flowing.
