A/N: You asked for another chapter, here's another chapter. I must admit,
it's not as good as the first, but it'll do as a linking chapter. Anyway,
read and review your little hearts out! Thanks.

Chapter 2: Picnic Troubles
"So what do we have here?" Rory asked as she sat down on the checkered blanket.
"Just some stuff I whipped up at Luke's," he replied casually as he began to pull plates of food out of a wicker basket. "We have cheeseburgers, cheese fries, hot chocolate, and doughnuts for dessert."
Rory's eyes lit up. "You really think I can eat all that at 11 o'clock at night?" she asked putting a steaming cheese fry into her mouth.
He gave her a cockeyed stare. "Rory, in one night, you could eat enough to feed an entire African tribe for a year."
"You say that like it's a bad thing," she said in mock innocence.
Jess laughed at that. "No, Rory," he replied. "That's just one more thing I like about you."
She smiled, very satisfied with his answer, as she took a bite of her cheeseburger.
Jess watched her eat, feeling so content. He still couldn't believe they were together. Finally. After liking her for so long and not knowing if she felt the same way, it was so nice to know that he was allowed. Before, when she was with Dean, he had cringed every time he'd seen them together, every time they kissed. Now he was allowed to kiss her himself. Now he was allowed to wrap his arms around her and no one could stop him. And so, he decided to do just that.
As Jess wrapped his arms around her, Rory put down her food and just leaned against him, her eyes closed. She felt so incredibly at peace in those arms. She had wanted him to do that so many times before, but now she didn't have to worry about hiding those feelings. She didn't have to hide her feelings for Jess from Dean, or the town, or herself. Now it was all out in the open and she could finally breathe.
"Well, doesn't this look cozy," they heard a voice behind them.
They looked up to see Dean standing a short ways away from them. He was scowling, his fist clenching around his Dosey's Market apron.
"Who said you could join the party?" Jess asked him, and Rory visibly cringed. There was no way this was going to end well.
"Jess-" she started, trying to figure out how to keep the peace.
"No, Rory," Dean interrupted, "let him talk. The Almighty Dodger wants to say something." He directed his speech to Jess, "Did you have something to say?"
"Yeah," Jess answered, censoring his comment for Rory's sake. "My girlfriend and I were having a nice picnic here before you interrupted us. Now I know you have some unresolved issues to work out, but since I'm pretty sure Rory is a little uncomfortable with her ex-boyfriend watching her every move-very stalker-like by the way-I'm going to ask you to leave."
"Do you want me to leave, Rory?" he asked her. "Are you uncomfortable being in the presence of the guy you said you loved?"
Rory turned her head away from him, hiding her face. "Yes," she replied just above a whisper. She was so close to crying, it hurt to keep them in.
"What was that?" Dean asked, trying to prolong her torture. "I couldn't hear you."
"Yes," she said louder, her voice shaking. "I want you to leave."
"Fine," Dean relented, seeming almost satisfied. "I don't know what you're definition of love is, but mine sure as hell doesn't end like this." With that last jab in, he stalked off in the direction of his house.
**I'm sorry to leave you like this, but I have three other stories to update and my fans are getting restless. I'll update as soon as possible, but I won't unless I get at least my 10 reviews. That's everyone.**
****Also, everyone out there, Christian or not, I need prayers. A person very close to me just received some very good, but very bad news. Because of this news, her mother is seriously threatening to throw her out of the family and pull her out of college. She needs as many prayers as she can possibly get. Thank you. O: ]****
