Jess walked Rory home that night. They walked along slowly, hand in
hand. Rory looked up at Jess, who looked like he was deep in thought.
"He's not like that, you know." She said quietly. Jess looked at her skeptically.
"You sure about that? Because I don't know him that well, and that's how he's always been to me. But jealousy can do a lot to a person, Rory. I know. I felt it when you were going out with him." Jess told her. They walked along in silence until they reached the Gilmore house. They stopped on the porch.
"Get some sleep." Jess said, as he started to turn away.
"What are you doing tomorrow?" Rory asked, stopping him.
"Rory, are you sure that I'm who you want to be with? Cuz maybe you should take some time to make up your mind." Jess asked, turning back to her.
"Jess, I don't want to be with Dean. I want to be with you. I don't need any time." With that, Rory pulled Jess to her and kissed him, long and hard. Jess didn't protest. Suddenly, the house door was pulled open, and Loralei came barging out.
"God Dammit, Rory, where have you been?" She demanded, "I have been worried sick about you!" When she saw Jess standing, his cheeks flushed red, she stopped, grabbed Rory by the wrist, and pulled her into the house.
"Stay away from her, Jess. Don't you ever talk to my little girl again!" With that, Loralei slammed the door. Jess sighed, and walked home.
Once they were inside the house, Loralei sat Rory down on the couch, and sat beside her.
"What did he do to you, Rory? It's OK, you can tell me, I won't blame you." She stared in a calm voice. Rory pulled her hand away from her mother's.
"Nothing! He didn't do anything to me! I think I'm old enough and responsible enough to know when to say no, mom." Rory protested.
"Aha! So there was something you had to say no to. I'll kill him, I swear, I'll." Loralei started to stand up, but Rory stood up too, and interrupted her.
"Mom, calm down! He stopped! I asked him to, and he stopped! It was no big deal. You don't even know him, and you hate him. You jump to conclusions, and don't even think about me! Maybe I was the one who wanted to do everything.maybe he said no.you didn't even know until I told you! Everything I did, I wanted to do. And maybe next time, I won't say no!" Rory declared. Loralei shook her head sadly.
"Look what he's done to you, Rory. He's poisoned your mind." She said.
"You.You won't listen to me! I just.Arrrggg!" Rory let out a frustrated shriek, and spun around to stomp off to her room.
"There won't be a next time!" Her mom shouted after her.
Jess' sleep was suddenly interrupted by a very pissed off Luke the next morning.
"Jess, what the hell did you do to her?" He demanded, flicking on the light. Jess opened his eyes reluctantly.
"What are you talking about..what time is it?" He muttered, sitting up and letting the blankets fall to his waist.
"I'm talking about Rory, and it's 10:30. Loralei just stormed in here and informed me that if you ever so much as look at Rory again, she'll have the Russian Mafia after you. When I inquired as to what she was talking about, she told me that you had Rory here late last night.did you?" Luke demanded. Jess closed his eyes, lay back down and groaned.
"God, Luke, please leave me alone."
"So it's true? Oh, Jess, why would you do that to Rory.What did you make her do?" Luke screamed at him.
"I didn't "Make" her do anything! Everything she did, she wanted to do." Jess yelled back. Luke took a deep breath.
"Just tell me.does Loralei have to take her to a doctor?" He asked Jess, calmly.
"Huh? What do you mean." Jess asked him.
"Is she.might she be pregnant." Jess understood, and smiled.
"I didn't sleep with her, Luke." He assured him. Luke let out his breath that he had been holding.
"Oh, Jess, thank God." He said, standing up, "Now get up an get dressed. I need you to take things over at the diner while I go and convince Loralei not to hate me forever for letting you live with me. You'd better stay away from Rory for a while.Jess, this isn't New York. Doing.well, the type of things that you do isn't as common here; we're a small town. Don't upset things, and don't spoil Rory. If you do, I swear I'll kick your ass and then send you back to New York. That's a promise." With that, Luke left the apartment and slammed the door. Jess sighed, and got out of bed.
"So, did you sleep with him?" Lane asked Rory, while they were sitting on a bench in the park.
"Excuse me?" Rory asked, surprised, "Who? What are you talking about?" Lane rolled her eyes.
"C'mon, Rory, it's all over town how you were out late with Jess. My mom wouldn't shut up about how that boy was the devil. So, does Dean know? And where did you go? And, did you sleep with him or not?" Lane asked, impatiently, but with a smile.
"Of course I didn't, Lane, I think you know me better than that! And Dean broke up with me." Rory told her, sitting back on the bench. Lane was shocked.
"What? Why didn't you tell me? So, now you're doing the Jess thing. Be careful with him Rory. He's unstable. He's James Dean...he's...from New York." Lane told her, as if being from New York was a disease.
"Lane, I know you don't like Jess, but give him a chance. He's really a good person, once you get to know him." Rory pleaded.
"Ok, then, what DID you do with Jess last night?" Lane asked her, skeptically. Rory smiled. She wanted to tell Lane everything...about how she almost slept with Jess, and about how she wanted to, and about how Jess made her feel. But she couldn't.
"We just hung out." Rory said. Lane looked disappointed.
"I don't believe you for one minute." She replied, "And I think I'll ask Jess myself...cuz here he comes now." Rory spun around on the bench as Jess came up to them. He said nothing, but sat down beside Rory and pulled her into a hard kiss. Lane raised her eyebrows. When Jess stopped kissing Rory, he looked over at Lane.
"Lane." He muttered in greeting, nodding his head.
"Mr.Mariano." She said back, "What have you been up to lately?...besides ripping up the neighborhood with your lack of order and smart ass mouth, and bringing my best friend over to the darkside with you?" Lane's voice was sarcastically sweet. Rory shot her a warning look. Jess put up all his defenses.
"Why don't you go do your homework, or pray or something." He asked her. Lane got up from the bench.
"I'll call you, Rory." She snapped. Rory nodded as she spun off and walked away. When Lane had left the park, Rory turned to Jess.
"Hey." She said, smiling.
"Hi." He replied, taking her hand, standing up, and starting to walk. They walked along in silence, looking up at the birds singing. It wasn't a sunny day, but it was still warm. It was a weird feeling, walking along the park, holding hands with Jess, like she would a normal person. Rory suddenly spoke up.
"How did you get to come here without Luke or anyone knowing?" She asked him, stopping.
"Well, Luke was guarding the front entrance to the Diner, and he had Taylor watching from across the road, while Kirk watched the stairs from inside, so it was tough...But I'm a miracle worker." Jess replied, with a cocky grin.
"Jess...I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble. They all think it's your fault, and that we..."
"Slept together." Jess offered.
"Yah.", Rory said, blushing, "and they all hate you, and Lane's mom thinks you're the devil, and..."
"Lane's mom probably thought the brave little toaster was the devil." Jess interrupted, "And they all hated me anyway. It's much better now that they have a reason." Rory sighed.
"But I just think that it's not fair, since you didn't do anything, and you were a perfect gentleman," Rory blabbered on, "And I never even contemplated wanting to do some of the things I want to do with you with Dean, I never felt this way about him, and every time I kiss you, I feel something inside me and I just want to be as close to you as I possibly can..." Jess brought his finger to her lips to silence her. Rory turned bright red.
"Oh, God, I didn't mean to say all that...you must think I'm such an amateur..." This time Jess silenced her with a kiss.
"Some of the things you want to do with me?" He asked, when they stopped kissing. Rory blushed harder, and slowly nodded.
"Like?..." Jess coaxed, bringing his arms down around her waist. When Rory didn't answer, he began kissing her slowly, the kiss getting deeper and deeper. He brought his lips to her neck ad kissed her there, and Rory felt the ecstacy building inside her as she closed her eyes. Jess brought his hand up to her breast, and his lips back up to her mouth, but he was suddenly ripped violently away from her.
"Get the hell away from her, Jess!" Luke shouted, yanking him by the wrist.
"What the fuck?...." Jess yelled, pushing Luke away from him hard, sending his falling to the ground.
"Jess, don't!" Rory screamed. Loralei came running over to her.
"Rory, honey, are you alright?" She asked frantically, hugging her.
"I'm fine, Mom." Rory said, pulling out of her grasp, and running to Jess. Luke started to stand up slowly from the ground. Jess offered his hand.
"I'm sorry, Luke." He muttered, but Luke wouldn't take his hand. He stood up on his own.
"I told you to stay away from her, Jess." Luke said, with warning in his voice. Jess shook his head in disbelief.
"Why? WHY? I'm no different than Dean, and when he was dating Rory nobody ripped them apart, barricaded him in his room, or thought he was the devil! What the hell do you think I'm going to do to her?" Jess asked.
"The same thing you did to Shane, and probably many girls from where you used to live." Luke shot back.
"How the hell do you know what I did with Shane or anyone?" Jess asked, incredulously.
"I'm not stupid, Jess. You have condoms in your bedside drawer, handcuffs in you closet, and you once had Shane's bra in the back of your car! I'm not blind, and I was a teenage boy once myself." Luke yelled at him. Loralei stepped up to him.
"...and don't you ever talk about Dean. You didn't know him. We trusted Dean because he was a good kid...had a good job, didn't get into any car crashes and he had morals. Get out of my daughter's life, Jess. Forever." She said, and then grabbed Rory's hand, and pulled her away. Luke shook his head.
"C'mon. Lets go home before you cause anymore trouble." Luke muttered, as he walked back to the Diner.
