A/N Thanks everyone who reviewed, it sure helps a lot to continue writing! I hope you like the second chapter, its written in Rory's POV and Jess' POV. In this chapter they will talk for the first time after the KISS at Sookie's wedding. So just read it and tell me what your opinion is, I'd appreciate some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism!
Disclaimer: I forgot to mention it in the previous chapter, but I DO NOT OWN THE GILMORE GIRLS (I wish! Can you imagine owning Jess J)!
So here we go then:
Chapter 2: 10 seconds realizations, drugstore girls and misinterpretations.
His heart skipped a beat and the adrenaline was rushing through his body. He stopped and turned. As he turned he saw Rory running towards him, she had a funny run, he noticed.
She was breathing heavily when she reached him.
Jess: 'I'm honored'.
Rory: 'Excuse me?' Rory had absolutely no idea what he was talking about.
Jess: 'You are deserting your specially primped eggs for me, it must be very interesting what you have to say to me.'
Rory: 'Well, actually I wanted to talk to you about what happened at Sookie's wedding, but every time I tried to talk to you something or someone came up.'
Jess:' Yeah, I know what you mean.'
Rory: 'So when I saw you walking outside, all by yourself, I thought we could talk about it right now.'
Jess: 'Alright, shoot.'
Rory: 'What, you don't have to say anything?'
Jess: 'Well, I'd like to hear your side of the story first, after all, you are the one who has some explaining to do.'
Jess wanted to hear her side of the story first before he decided to open up to her and tell her his true feelings for her. If she didn't like him back at least he wouldn't have made a fool of himself by telling her that he liked her, a lot.
Rory: 'Yeah, I guess I do.'
Jess: 'So?'
Rory: 'The truth is; I have no idea why on earth I kissed you.'
Jess: 'That's very flattering.'
Rory: 'No Jess, I didn't mean it that way. I mean, I liked kissing you and all, but I have a boyfriend and it's not right to kiss a guy that isn't your boyfriend, because that's not fair for the boyfriend, nor for the guy who gets kissed, especially when-.
Jess: 'Rory, stop it, you're rambling.'
Rory: 'I'm sorry'.
Jess: 'It's okay, a lot of people start to ramble when they're nervous.'
Rory: 'I meant I was sorry about the whole kissing thing and then the running away. Well, I'm not sorry about the kissing, but about the running. I shouldn't have done that, but I was really confused after I kissed you and you kissed me back and then I remembered Dean and that I really don't want to be with him, I want to be with you, but after the incident I'm sure you don't want me to. And I can understand that, I mean, I wouldn't like to be kissed and then walked out on, and-.
Jess: 'Are you for real?'
Rory: 'What, like I would dare to lie to you after what I've done to you. No, that wouldn't be fair.'
Rory had felt really bad about running away without giving an explanation. But he was here now and now was the time she had to tell him that, if he wanted her to, she would break up with Dean to be with Jess. She had thought about it for a long time, making a pro- con- list (who should it be, Dean or Jess?) and thinking about what she was going to say to Jess. But she didn't plan to come out and say that she liked Jess more than Dean. Frankly she didn't even realize it herself until she saw him walking away. It sort of popped out, but there was no turning back now.
Jess: 'Actually, I meant that I couldn't believe you just said you want to be with me instead with Dean.'
Rory: ' Yeah, well, I kinda just figured it out myself like 10 seconds ago when I saw you crossing the street. I realized I didn't want you to go, metaphorically speaking. You can go to the supermarket if you like of course. Otherwise it would be too drugstore girl like, only then the other way around. You would have cast a spell on me and I'd follow you around like a puppy, but that's not the way it has to go, you know, I need my space.'
Jess: 'Thanks for the info. But the truth is, you're still with Dean, right.'
Rory: 'Yes, I am.'
Jess: 'So how can you stand here and tell me that you like me, when Dean is still you're boyfriend?'
Rory: 'Actually, I was thinking of breaking up with Dean.'
This really surprised Jess, he already knew that Rory liked him, at least enough to kiss him, but after she ran away he didn't know how she really felt about him. But now he knew. And he couldn't believe how lucky he was; Rory Gilmore wanted to break up with Dean to be with him. Life just couldn't get better.
Jess: 'When?'
Rory: 'When what?"
Jess: 'When were you planning to break up with Dean.'
Rory: 'Well, I'm not sure, I have to think about that.'
Jess: 'Why do you have to think about it. You just said that you liked me more than Dean, so what's the problem?'
Rory: 'I know I said I liked you more than Dean, but that doesn't mean Dean means nothing to me.'
Jess: 'What are you saying Rory? Are you saying you still like Dean?'
Rory: 'No, I mean yes, no I don't mean yes, I mean no.'
Jess: 'Well, which is it Rory, yes or no?'
Rory: ' No, I don't like Dean anymore.'
Jess: 'Two seconds ago you just said you did.'
Rory: 'Okay, this was not the way it was supposed to go. Just hear me out, Jess. Dean and I have been through a lot together and he has been my boyfriend for a long time, so it's only natural that he still means something to me.'
Jess: 'I'm starting to get the picture, you can't decide between the two of us. Well, that's great, that's just great.'
Rory: 'No, Jess that's not the way it is at all. Dean still means something to mean, but I do not have any special feelings for him anymore, because I'm in love with you.'
Jess: 'Are you sure?'
Rory: 'Yes, I'm sure'
Jess: 'So you will take care of Dean.'
Rory: 'I will take care of Dean.'
Jess: 'But not right away.'
Rory: 'Just give me a little bit of time to work everything out.'
Jess: 'I can do that.'
But actually he couldn't. He couldn't wait any longer to have Rory in his arms. Dean just had to ruin everything, he always did. He really hated this kind of situations in which he had no other choice but to wait. He hated waiting, but the fact that he was waiting for Rory made it a little more bearable.
Rory sighed; she was relieved she got the chance to talk to Jess. She really really liked him and well, Dean just had to go, although she didn't want to break his heart. But there was no avoiding that. Maybe her mother would help her to figure out a way to dump Dean. But wait, her mother liked Dean and when she finds out that she's gonna dump Dean for Jess, she has a lot of explaining to do. But she would worry about that later, right now she was with Jess, the only person in the world she wanted to be with.
Rory: 'I'm glad.'
Jess: 'I have to go to Doose's.'
Rory: 'Right, I think I'll go back to the diner and finish my breakfast.'
Jess: 'I'll see you later.'
He turned around and walked the last few feet to Doose's, leaving Rory standing there all by herself on the sidewalk.'
Rory: 'Bye.'
Rory watched Jess walk away and knew that she would do the right thing. She turned around and walked back to the diner, while thinking about Jess and their conversation.
A/N It was really hard to write this chapter, Jess is such a complicated character!
Oh, and the whole drugstore girl thing was from the book 'Practical Magic' by Alice Hoffman (the girl casts a spell on a man so he falls in love with her and he follows her everywhere she goes, which wasn't really the way it was supposed to go).
I hope you guys like it!
