Part Five

* JESS'S APARTMENT *

It's 8 am Saturday morning and Jess is down stairs making pancakes and coffee. Rory is still asleep upstairs in Jess's room. Jess goes up the stairs to her.

"Ror, are you awake?" asked Jess quietly

No answer.

"Rory, I know you're awake. People don't usually laugh in their sleep"

"What time is it?"

"Just after 8 am"

"Go away! Leave me alone"

"Come on Rory, please get up. I made breakfast"

"10 minutes, please"

"Rory, I know you - "

"I know you too and I know you're a wonderful guy who lets me sleep"

"Your breakfast is getting cold"

"Bring it up here then"

"That's it!"

Jess pulled back the covers and picked Rory out of bed and stood her on her feet.

"I think I want to get up now," said Rory, sarcastically

"Good to hear it" replied Jess, "now come on, breakfasts ready"

"OK, just let me get changed"

Rory went in to the bathroom and changed into jeans and blue shirt.

* IN THE DINER *

"Good Morning" said Rory giving Jess a kiss

"Why, your in a better mood" said Jess, "go sit down, I'll be over in a minute"

Jess brought over their breakfasts and sat down next to Rory

"Mmmmmmm. This looks great!" said Rory, "Ooooooo coffee"

"You're going to kill yourself one day with that stuff"

"It's probably eat through your stomach or something"

"Please Jess, we're trying to eat"

"Sorry"

They finished up and cleaned up their mess.

"So, what plans have you got for today?" asked Rory

"Um.well.I've got an errand to run, so you could probably amuse yourself for awhile"

"Where have you got to go?"

"Just around"

"Can I come too? I'll keep you company"

"Sorry, I just have to go somewhere quickly"

Jess walked out of the diner leaving Rory on a chair at the counter. Caesear walked in and found her there.

"Hello Rory...where's Jess" asked Caesear

"He had to run an errand"

"Oh right" he replied, getting back to work

Rory decided to take a walk around town while waiting for Jess. Dean came up behind her before she had a chance to get away.

"Rory.Hi"

"Hi Dean. I'd love to talk butI really have to go do something"

"No you don't"

"What!?"

"I can tell when you're lying"

No answer from Rory.

"Look, I'm so sorry for hitting you"

No answer again.

"So where's Jess"

"Jess?"

"Yeah, the jerk your living with"

"Oh.he had to run an errand?"

"Where?"

"Look Dean, are you happy, I have no idea where Jess is or what his errand is" yelled Rory

"He's probably visiting his other girlfriend"

"Dean, I don't have to listen to you talk about him like this"

Rory turned and walked back to the diner. She was half way up the stairs and she heard Jess's voice behind the door. He was on the phone with someone.

"Yeah, I got it" said Jess to the person on the phone "No, there was no problems. No questions were asked" "No, no-one knows" "Rory doesn't know" "I don't know, she went out I think" "I'll send it today" "I'll ask them to - "

Rory opened the door to see Jess's shocked face.

"Sorry, I got to go" said Jess to the person on the phone. He hung up.

"Rory, you're back. I was going to go look for - "

"Who were you talking to?" asked Rory

"What?"

"On the phone"

"Um..that was just someone I new..um..in NY"

"You're not very convincing. Was it them you did the errand for?"

"Um..yeah..but please don't ask, because I can't tell you"

"If they were someone YOU knew in NY, how did they know ME?"

"What? How much did you hear?" asked Jess, looking worried

"After the bit where you said, 'yeah, I got it'. So how would they know me?"

"I can't say anything. You'll find out in a couple of days anyway probably"

With that Rory walked out of the apartment and ran into the street. Again, she saw Dean.

"Rory, what's wrong?"

"Nothing"

"What the hell did he do to you?"

"Dean, not now. He didn't do anything"

"You really have to learn to lie better"

"Dean, just leave me alone. Go away!"

Dean turned and left. Jess came up behind Rory and put his arms around her waist. She wriggled free and ran back to the diner and locked herself in her room (actually it's Jess's room).

After a few minutes of Rory ignoring Jess, she heard him run down the stairs and out of the diner. Rory came out and went and sat at the counter.

Half an hour later, Jess came back and stopped Rory from running away.

"What the hell is wrong with you Rory?"

She didn't answer

"Rory, what did I do?"

No answer.

"OK fine, I'm very sorry and I was being an utter jerk when I did whatever it was I did"

Rory held back a laugh. Jess loosened her grip on her.

Rory broke free once again and ran into Jess's room. She threw herself on the bed and cried herself to sleep. What was Jess up to? Who was he talking to on the phone?

A/N: Please read and review I needed to write this chapter to prepare for the next chapter. I needed to wait like overnight (in the story) so that Jess could post that THING.

I know I said chapter 4 was going to be up by Jan 13th, but its early, so chapter seven will be up by Jan 13th
