Recap:
They suddenly heard a great "thud" out of nowhere.

After a few more second of confusion a lightning stroke and heavy drops of rain started to pour from the sky.

They just kept lying there laughing and watching the sky, enjoying the fact that they are together on this beautiful and magical night.

Night Swimming


As the time passed and they both relaxed, Rory started to feel very aware to the fact that she was still topless, so she grabbed her shirt and wore it, but right away resumed her previous comfortable position beside Jess.


The rain stopped after a little while and the air was now clear and refresed. However, by then they were both pretty soaked in a mixture of sweat and water.


"So.." Rory said, breaking the relaxing silence
"So.. " Jess echoed her, turning towards her and smiling a sly smile


"That was.." She started
"Interesting?" Jess questioned in an amused tone


"Actualy, I was going for something more like 'wow' " She returned his smile.
"Yeah, I think I'll go with that too" He agreed, a wider smile spreading over his face.


"So.." now Jess began, as he rose up to a sitting position
"Wanna go for a swim?"


"Well, we're kinda wet already, so what the heck?" She said
"But you're first" She continued with a devious tone right before she pushed him into the water.


Rory set on the edge of rhe bridge, laughing at Jess. "Got you!"
"Hey, that's not fair.." he said as he quickly grabbed her hand and, before she was able to draw it back, pulled her in with him.


"Got you back" he smirked.


Rory pretended to be hurt and began spraying water all over his smirking face.
Jess didn't take long to recover and shortly after, they were involved in a full force water-war.
They were fighting for a good ten minutes, both laughing and enjoying themselves when Rory suggested that maybe they should stop and get out of the water, in order to dry their cloths, because it was really getting late.


"Hey Rory" Jess' face curved into a devious smirk
"We don't have to get out, we can dry them and still stay in the water.."
"And how exactly can we do ..." She stopped at once as realization struck her and she immediately turned bourdeaux.


"Ah..uah.."


"Don't worry I was just kidding" Jess tried to relax her when he saw that she was very uncomfortable. He moved a bit closer to her and touched her hand as a gesture of comfort, in order to ease her embarrassment.


Although he meant it only as a peace gesture, Chills went through Rory's body as she felt his touch and she trembled slightly. When they had their little scene before, she didn't have time to think about what she was doing, she was operating on pure instinct, but now, when she had time, she finally understood what they meant in all those books when they talked about passion and lust.


'So, this is how it feels like..' She thought to herself


She wanted him.


Jess felt it too. The tension in the air was thick.


They looked at each other and locked eyes.


Again, Rory broke the silence and totally surprised Jess.
"Well, it's not like you haven't..you know..seen..before " She smiled shyly.

'She is definitely full of surprises tonight' Jess thought to himself.


"Are you..sure? I really didn't mean to pressure..you know?"


"Feeling prudish tonight are we?" She teasingly asked Jess as she began to feel more confident.


Rory closed the small gap between them, keeping the eye contact all along.
Jess was indeed surprised, but when he felt her near him he was definitely out of shock, and embraced her tightly to him. They stood there, hugged for a few seconds and then, as if they were completely coordinated, Jess' hands grabbed her shirt as Rory's hands went toward his jeans buttons.


Jess pulled Rory's wet shirt over her head as she unbuttoned his first button. They took their time to savor each other this time. Jess broke their moment with a shy smile as he told Rory "If you're taking my idea, we might as well make sure that your shirt will be dry.. " and he squeezed the water out of the shirt and stretched it over the bridge's warm wood.

After the short intermission, they went back to their previous position facing each other, renewing the eye contact as their hands started unbuttoning each others' buttons under the water.

They discarded the pants, and again, with a smile, jess repeated his squeezing ceremony, allowing Rory time to adore his strong muscels and well built body.


Finally, Jess was finished with the cloths, and slowly he began to approach Rory. He as well, was adoring her with his eyes. He was only a few centimeters away from her now, and they both moved to closed the gap.


The feeling was amazing. They both were able to feel each and every part of the other when their bodies met. They kissed passionately while their hands roamed over each other's bodies', exploring new territories.
They both felt their passion built as they were moving together enjoying the friction their bodies created.


When he felt himself on the verge, Jess was about to do probably one of the most difficult things he ever done. He had to control himself.

"Rory" Jess murmured
"Rory.."
"Jess" Rory countered almost groaning


"We can't do it.."
"We don't have any kind of protection"
"It's too dangerous.. we should "
"Stop"


Jess' words activated an alarm voice in Rory's head. For years her mother had been warning her about those things.


"You're right" she whispered, disappointment obvious in her voice.


After he heard her tone he added with a gentle voice
"But I'm not finished with you.. we'll just.. postpone"


She smiled back at him, both of them breathing hard, trying to calm themselves and regain control.


"Lets get out and dry" Rory suggested
"c'mon" Jess agreed and held his hand to help her out.


Their cloths were still a little damp, but they wore them anyway.
After they finished getting dressed, Jess took Rory's hand again and they both set down on the bridge, Rory's back pressed into Jess' chest, both curled together.


"Jess"
"Yeah..?"
"I'm breaking up with Him first thing in the morning" She told him in a low voice and turned around to face him, a small smile on her face.
For a while they just looked at each other.


"I want to be more to you than just a friend" She finally said.



And Jess' mouth curved into a genuine smile for the first time in years now.
