*Disclaimer: I don't own the series Gilmore Girls or the characters. All I own is my imagination and the plot.

*A/N: HEY!!! I know, it's been a while since I updated, but I was busy with school and I was sick. But I'm feeling better now and I just had to write another chapter. This chapter is totally focused on Rory and Jess' relationship and yes there's some R/J action (sweetness) in it too!!! I love to write chapters with R/J action in them, I don't know why though, I just do. Anyway THANK you guys for leaving such GREAT reviews. Please tell me what you think about this chapter.

*~*~*:-)*~*~*Bye, smile :-)

Rory looked at her watch again. Why was this meeting taking so long ? She felt as if she had been listening to Taylor for ages now. He just kept on talking about how no one wanted to buy his vegetables or something. Rory started to look around and saw Jess looking at her. She quickly looked away and tried to listen to Taylor. But it didn't work, she kept thinking about the party. How could Jess do that to her ? She thought that he cared for her. She look at Jess again and met his gaze. He looked back at her with an unreadable expression on his face. Rory looked at her hands. Maybe it really was a mistake ? She never gave him a chance to explain.

D: ''Is this seat taken ?''

Rory pulled herself free out of her thoughts and looked up.

R: ''Dean.......hi.........sure.''

Dean sat down next to her and nodded in Taylor's direction.

D: ''Did I miss much ?''

R: ''No, he's talking about vegetables

D: ''Why ?''

R: ''Don't know. Something about nobody wanting to buy them.''

D: ''Can you blame them ? His vegetables taste like.....well crap actually.''

R: ''How do you know ?''

D: ''Well maybe I tried one once.''

R: ''You ate one of Taylor's vegetables ?''

D: ''Yeah, I was young and stupid.''

Rory smiled.

R: ''I can't believe you're still alive.''

D: ''I know, it's a miracle.''

Rory laughed softly. Dean glanced at her and smiled.

Jess narrowed his eyes. Ever since Dean left the party with Rory last night he had this anger and jealousy that were slowly building up inside him. And when he saw them together he had to force himself not to get up and hit Dean. During the rest of the meeting he kept stealing glances at them. And every time, he got even madder and even more jealous of Dean.

When Taylor was finally done, Rory got up and went outside. A few minutes later her mom joined her.

L: ''Could it be any more boring ?''

R: ''I don't think so. People in the back were actually starting to fall asleep.''

Lorelai smiled.

L: ''So I saw that you and Dean were having fun.''

R: ''Yeah, he actually ate one of Taylor's vegetables once.''

L: ''And he's still alive ?''

R: ''Yeah.''

L: ''Praise the Lord. But seriously though. You and Dean are.....?''

R: ''We're fine.''

L: ''Okay. So are you coming ?''

R: ''Coming where ?''

L: ''To Luke's of course.''

R: ''No.''

L: ''No ?''

R: ''Yeah, I'm kind of tired.''

L: ''Okay, but you're going to miss out on some great coffee.''

R: ''Save me some ?''

L: ''I'll try.''

R: ''That's all I'm asking.''

L: ''No problem. Sweet dreams sweets...... Did you see how I was being funny with the whole sweets thing ?''

R: ''Yep, I noticed.''

L: ''So, why aren't you laughing ?''

R: ''Because it wasn't that funny.''

L: ''You're kidding right ? My jokes are always funny.''

Rory smiled and shook her head.

R: ''Night mom.''

Rory turned around and bumped into someone.

R: ''Sorry.''

She took a step back and tried to keep her balance. Suddenly the person she bumped into grabbed her by her arm and steadied her.

D: ''It was my fault.''

Rory recognized Dean's voice and looked up into his blue eyes.

R: ''Dean.......''

D: ''Rory.''

He grinned at her and looked her deep in the eyes. Rory became aware of his arm that was still holding hers. When they used to be together she would get nervous, her pulse would start to raise, her heart would start to pound, the feeling was overwhelming and one of a kind.........at least that was what she thought. When she met Jess, she started to have those same reactions. She remembered the first time that Jess accidentally touched her hand. She started to blush and her heart was pounding so fast. And slowly the feeling that she always had around Dean started to fade. Her pulse didn't raise anymore when she saw him, she didn't feel excited anymore when he touched her and then one day everything that she once felt for Dean was gone. Just like that.........and when she felt his arm on her, nothing happened. No pounding heart, no butterflies, nothing. She took a step back and pulled her arm back.

R: ''Hey.''

D: ''Hey. Walk you home ?''

R: ''You don't have to.''

D: ''I know.''

Rory met his eyes again. She thought about it and nodded her head. Friends could walk each other home.

R: ''Sure.''

D: ''Well, let's go then.''

He wanted to take her hand in his, but Rory quickly shoved her hands in her pockets, pretending that she didn't know what Dean was about to do.

Dean observed her for a moment and pulled his hand back. He felt a little hurt about it, but he didn't say anything about it. He just had to give her a little more time. He put his hands in his pockets too and started to walk in the direction of her house.

Rory let out a sigh of relief. She didn't know what he wanted from her or expected. Maybe it was just a friendly gesture, but she didn't wanna give him false hope or hurt him even more. She caught up with him and they kept walking without saying a word. When they reached her house, she was glad. She didn't like the silence between them. It was awkward.

D: ''What is he doing here ?''

Rory didn't know what he was talking about and looked in the same direction as him. When she saw who it was the memories of the night before filled her head again. She saw him kiss that girl over and over again. Now was one of those times when she wished that she could just turn her brain on and of whenever she pleased.

Jess was sitting on the steps of her house, watching her closely. He wondered what she was going to do ?

R: ''I.....I don't know.''

D: ''So you didn't ask him to meet you here ?''

Rory shook her head. But Dean didn't believe her and Rory could see it on his face.

R: ''Dean, I didn't.''

D: ''Whatever you say.''

Rory sighed and wished that she could just stop time for a moment so that she could think about what she was going to do or say. Dean glanced at Jess again.

D: ''You want me to get rid of him ?''

Rory bit her bottom lip and glanced at Jess. She shook her head.

R: ''No.''

D: ''No ? Why ?''

R: ''Cause I don't want you two to fight again.''

D: ''Hey, he started it.''

R: ''I don't care who did. I just don't want things to get out of hand. I'll just ask him to leave.''

D: ''Are you sure ?''

Rory nodded and smiled at him.

R: ''I'll be fine.''

D: ''Okay, so I guess I'll see you tomorrow.''

R: ''Probably.''

D: ''Good night Ror.''

R: ''Bye.''

Dean looked at Jess one more time and started to walk away. Rory watched Dean leave and took a deep breath before she looked at Jess again. She met his eyes and started to walk over to him.

Jess gave her a steady look. He didn't get up, he just waited for her to come to him. At least she told Dean to leave.

R: ''What are you doing here Jess ?''

J: ''I came to talk.''

R: ''Really ?''

Jess nodded.

R: ''Well, I don't wanna talk.''

She walked past him and reached for the door. But before she could Jess got up and grabbed her arm.

J: ''Rory........''

Rory looked at Jess' hand and immediately her heart started to beat faster.

R: ''Let go.''

J: ''No.''

Rory looked up at him. She had the urge to just kiss and forgive him. But she knew what she saw and she couldn't just forget about that, no matter how much she wanted to. She wanted an explanation.

J: ''Not before I explained to you what happened at the party.''

R: ''There's nothing to explain. I know what I saw.''

J: ''But you don't.''

R: ''I don't ? So you weren't kissing anothing girl ?''

Jess didn't say a thing. He could see the hurt in her eyes.

R: ''Thought so.''

J: ''Yes, I was kissing her, but I didn't mean to.''

R: ''Let me guess, it just happened ?''

She tried to pull her arm free, but Jess didn't let her go. He didn't want to let her go. He wanted to tell her the truth.

J: ''She was drunk Rory.''

Rory stopped and locked eyes with his.

R: ''Drunk ?''

J: ''Yeah, she was confused and she started to kiss me. But I stopped her.''

Rory bit her lip again and looked in his eyes. She was searching them for the truth.

R: ''Really ?''

J: ''I swear.''

He loosened his grip on her, but didn't let go.

J: ''Rory, I would never do anything to hurt you.''

He started to caress her cheek with his thumb and smiled at her.

J: ''Never.''

His voice fell into a whisper and he pulled her a little closer. Rory started to blush and gave him a little smile. He brought his head closer to hers and kissed her on her forehead. He could feel her soft skin underneath his lips. When he looked at her again, her eyes where shining and she was practically grinning at him.

J: ''Do you believe me ?''

R: ''I'm not sure yet.''

Jess saw the teasing look in her eyes and smirked.

J: ''You're teasing.''

R: ''No I'm not.''

She gave him an innocent look and smiled at him sweetly. Jess just had to kiss her. He grabbed her face with on of his hands and started to kiss her. He brought his other hand to her hair and started to play with it.

Rory started to smile and Jess broke the kiss.

R: ''Now I believe you.''

Jess pulled her hair playfully and brought his face closer to hers. She playfully brushed her lips against his. Jess looked at her and kissed her again. He softly bit her lip.

Rory went crazy and she just wanted to be closer to Jess. She wrapped her arms around Jess' neck and he pulled her closer. He pulled away for a minute to catch his breath. He looked at Rory again and started to kiss her neck. Rory started to play with his hair. She just loved to do that. Jess brought his mouth to hers again and licked her lips. Rory kissed him with all the passion she had in her. Jess forced her lips apart and slipped his tong into her mouth. Rory moaned and Jess deepened the kiss even more. Their bodies were touching now and they both wouldn't have it any other way. Finally they broke the kiss. They were both breathing fast and had a satisfied look in their eyes.

J: ''I have to get back to the diner.''

Rory nodded.

R: ''I'll see you tomorrow ?''

J: ''Definitely.''

He kissed her on the forehead again and backed away from her. They just looked at each other.

R: ''Night Dodger.''

Jess smirked at her and nodded. He shoved his hands in his pockets and walked away. Rory watched him walk away with a smile on her face. She couldn't wait until tomorrow.
