Rory couldn't get Jess of of her mind. He looked the same and so different at the same time. She pictured Jess in her mind again. He looked so.............good. She didn't just think that, did she ?! She wasn't used to him looking like he did. He still had the same brown eyes with a hint of gold in them. And he still had the same dark hair that she loved so much. She wondered what it would be like to run her fingers through his hair ? She remembered how close they had been, their bodies were touching. He still had that gentle touch. But they were friends, she just had to get used to him. Yeah that was it. She smiled and shook her head. She couldn't believe that she was thinking of her best friend like that. It was nice to have him back. She had missed him a lot. She wrote and mailed him a couple of times, but he never answered. He probably just lost her address or something. She smiled when she saw her boyfriend standing in front of Doose's. She walked up to Dean and kissed him. Dean pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. Finally they broke their kiss.
D: ''To what do I owe this pleasure ?''
R: ''I missed you and I like kissing you.''
D: ''Well, I like kissing you too.''
Rory laced her hand with his and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
R: ''So, what do you wanna do ?''
D: ''How about we go find a more private place ?''
R: ''I like that idea.''
D: ''Good.''
Dean put his arm around Rory and they started to walk in the direction of the gazebo.
D: ''So, what was it like to see Jess again ?''
R: ''Great. I really missed him. Hey, you wanna meet him ?''
D: ''Of course.''
Rory started to walk in the opposite direction of the gazebo, but Dean grabbed her arm and stopped her.
D: ''We can do that later.''
Rory smiled at him and he started to kiss her, while they were walking up the stairs of the gazebo. Dean sat down on a bench and pulled Rory down next to him. Rory ran her fingers through his hair and started to kiss Dean. Rory forgot about everything and just enjoyed the kiss that she and Dean were sharing.
Jess was on his way back to Luke's when he saw a familiar figure in the gazebo. He stopped to see if it was really her. It was her. Rory was making out with a guy, who was probably Dean, in the gazebo. Right were people could see them. Not that he never made out with a girl where people could see him, but he never expected it from Rory. He looked at them one last time and headed back to Luke's.
Almost an hour later Rory pulled away from Dean.
D: ''What are you doing ?''
R: ''Stopping.''
D: ''Why ?''
Dean pulled her back into his arms and started to kiss her again. Rory laughed and pulled away again.
R: ''Because we're going to Luke's.''
D: ''Why ?''
R: ''So that you can meet Jess.''
D: ''Oh yeah, right, I forgot.''
Rory got up and waited for Dean to join her.
R: ''Are you coming ?''
D: ''Do we have to ? Can't I meet Jess later ?''
R: ''No, we're going now.''
Rory grabbed Dean's hand and started to pull him up.
D: ''Fine, let's go to Luke's.''
Dean got up and went over to Luke's with Rory.
When Jess heard the door open, he didn't even bother to look up. He was getting sick of that sound. The entire day people have been coming and going, and the entire day he had been serving them. When he told Luke that he wanted to get a job, Luke said that he could work at the diner. And before Jess knew it he was taking people's orders and bringing them their food. He didn't mind. The people were nice and he got paid, that was the most important thing of all. He was saving for a car. Jess sighed. With what Luke was paying him, he only had ten years to go. Jess continued reading, until someone put a hand on his page.
J: ''Do you mind, I'm trying to read here.''
R: ''Sorry.''
Jess immediately looked up when he heard Rory's voice. He found himself looking into her blue eyes. They were still as blue and beautiful as he remembered them, more beautiful even.
R: ''I just wanted to get your attention.''
Jess held back a smile. O she got his attention alright.
J: ''Well, you got it. What's up ?''
R: ''Are you sure I'm not bothering you, because if I am I can come back later.''
Yep, that was the Rory he knew. Always worried if she was hurting or disturbing people.
J: ''Rory, look at this place. I think I can spare a minute.''
Rory smiled at him.
R: ''Good. I want you to meet someone. Jess this is Dean, Dean meet Jess.''
Jess nodded at Dean.
J: ''Hey.''
D: ''Hey.''
J: ''Boyfriend ?''
Dean nodded and proved it by putting his arm around Rory. Jess clenched his teeth. He didn't like Dean, not at all.
D: ''I gotta go.''
R: ''Why ?''
D: ''I have to get back to work. It was nice meeting you Jess.''
J: ''Same here.''
Dean gave Rory a quick kiss and left Luke's.
J: ''You guys look cute together.''
R: ''Shut up and get me some coffee.''
Jess smiled and started to pour her some coffee, while she sat down at the counter. Rory picked up the book that he was reading earlier. She read the title and smiled.
R: ''Oliver Twist ?''
J: ''Yeah.''
Jess handed her a cup of coffee. Rory drank her coffee, while she opened the book and went through the pages. She was surprised to see that there was writing in the margins. On almost every page.
R: ''Ran out of paper ?''
J: ''What ?''
Rory pointed at the notes in the margins.
J: ''Oh that. Just some notes.''
R: ''Really ?''
J: ''Yeah, nothing special really.''
He took the book out of Rory's hands and put it in the back pocket of his jeans. Rory met his eyes for a seconde.
J: ''What ?''
R: ''Just notes huh ?''
J: ''Yep.''
R: ''Okay.''
Rory continued drinking her coffee.
J: ''So, how long have you and Dean been together ?''
R: ''About a year.''
J: ''Let me guess, it was love at first sight ?''
R: ''For me it was.''
J: ''Huh.''
So she really was in love with Dean ?
R: ''Do you have a girlfriend ?''
J: ''Nope.''
R: ''Did you have one in New York ?''
J: ''Nope.''
He wasn't lying. Sure there were girls in New York that he hung out with and dated, but mostly they were just one-night stands. And he wasn't complaining. He had fun, but the girls in New York weren't exactly relationship material. They all wanted one thing. He didn't tell Rory all this, because he was sure that she would freak out and ask about his actions in New York. So instead he just answered her with a simple no and didn't tell her about his 'wonderful' life in NYC.
R: ''Why ?''
J: ''What do you mean why ?''
R: ''Why didn't you have a girlfriend ?''
J: ''You know there isn't any rule that says that you have to have a girlfriend.''
R: ''I know, but it just surprised me, that's all. I mean just look at you.''
J: ''Was that a compliment ?''
Jess leaned on the counter and locked eyes with Rory.
R: ''If you want it to be.''
Rory looked away. She was starting to feel nervous around him. Why was that ? Sure he looked fine, but he was still the same person that she could talk to about books and stuff. She noticed how close he was now. She could see his chest move up and down underneath his shirt.
Jess followed her eyes to his chest and wondered if she was thinking differently of him too. He stood there for another minute, looking at her, before he stood up straight again.
R: ''I...........I gotta go.''
J: ''Okay.''
Was she leaving because of him ? He watched her get up.
R: ''I'll see you later.''
J: ''I'll be here.''
Rory smiled at him and headed for the door, unaware that Jess was watching her every move.
When Rory closed the door behind her, Jess got out his book. He opened it and started to read again. Suddenly his eye fell on something that he wrote in the margins earlier.
In the back of my mind, there is always that same little voice. The voice that wonders if everything is still the same, if she is still the same.
He wrote it down almost three years ago. One day he was just sitting in his room and suddenly her name popped into his head and her image. He started to think if she was still the same and these words came out of his pen, when he wrote it down. He didn't want her to read it, he didn't want her to know that he had been thinking about her ever since he left Stars Hollow. Because he had thought about her, almost every day. And every time he got a letter from her, he got so excited, but he never wrote back. He had nothing to write about. He couldn't tell her about his life in New York, about all the fights and drugs. She would just feel sorry for him and he didn't want that. He wanted to protect her. And he did. She still knew practically nothing about his life in New York and he wanted to keep it that way. He closed his book and decided to go upstairs and listen to some music. Maybe that would take his mind of of her.

Rory started to walk in the opposite direction of the gazebo, but Dean grabbed her arm and stopped her.
