*Shout out: Hey Stef! WELCOME BACK!!! (Yeah, I know I'm a little late) :-)
*~*~*:-)*~*~*Bye, smile :-)
Jess Mariano was still holding his thick volume of fiction in his hands and to people watching him from a distance he seemed to be reading, but you shouldn't always believe what you see. Cause if you would take a closer look, you would see that his titian colored eyes weren't looking at the page in front of him, but that they were preoccupied with the sleeping girl next to him. Rory had fallen asleep earlier, her arms were lying crossed on her book and her head was resting on her arms. Jess' gaze was resting on her face, fascinated by her unblemished skin and her brown locks that the wind was playing with. Jess smiled, a delighted look taking over his face as he shifted his gaze back to his book. He caught a glimpse of the time and decided that they should be heading back. He closed his book and looked at Rory. It was time to wake Sleeping Beauty up from her fairy-tale.
J: ''Rory. Wake up.''
Rory moaned, but didn't open her eyes. Jess brought his fingers to her cheek and gracefully stroked it, bringing his head closer to her ear.
J: ''Rory.''
Suddenly she opened her eyes and looked up at him. Her beryl eyes enchanted by his dark ones.
R: ''Jess ?''
Jess stopped stroking her cheek and watched her as she turned around to lie on her back.
J: ''It's getting late.''
Rory, who was all of a sudden fully awake, realized how close she was to Jess. She looked at him, her eyes immediately captivated by his face and raven colored hair. Jess noticed and moments later he had an all-knowing smirk on his face. Rory lowered her eyes to his lips, fascinated by the way his lips curved. She reached out her hand and started to trace the curve of his lips with her index finger. Slowly, running her finger over his lips, her heart started to beat faster. Giving her a rush that you could compare to the rush that you would get in a rollercoaster.
Jess followed her every movement with his eyes, subconsciously bringing his head closer to hers until their faces were only a couple of inches apart. He could hear her breathing, that was fragmentary now and he could feel her warm breath against his skin. Rory lowered her hand and gave Jess the opportunity to close the distance between them and lightly graze his lips against hers. Rory brought her eyes up to meet his eyes that were gleaming. They were asking her for permission to do what he had wanted to do ever since he had seen her again.
Rory slowly brought her hand up and placed it in the back of his neck, gently bringing him closer. Their lips touched and they shared a kiss that was slow and passionate yet hungry. Jess got on top of her and grasped her hip with one hand. The other he lay flat on her stomach as they deepened the kiss. One of Rory's hands was entangled in his hair while the other was teasing the skin at the lower half of his abdomen. Finally their lips parted and they got a chance to catch their breath. Jess looked at her and smiled.
J: ''You're beautiful.''
Rory blushed and shyly met his eyes. Jess leaned in to kiss her again, but Rory stopped him. She remembered that they weren't alone on the beach and that Lily was lying on the towel next to them, still sleeping thank God.
R: ''Jess, Lily.''
J: ''Right, Lily.''
R: ''And we still need to talk.''
Jess sighed and got off of her. Rory sat up straight and started to wake Lily up, avoiding Jess' disappointed gaze.
*~*~*
When they got back at Jimmy and Sasha' home, they found Sasha outside, wearing a pair of paint covered overalls. Lily immediately asked if she could help and moments later she was also holding a paintbrush. Jess and Rory on the other hand, just greeted her and disappeared inside. Rory who was still a little confused by what happened on the beach, decided to take a shower. The shower had always been her favorite place to think. The streaming water always seemed to be able to wash her worries away, but today was an exception. They didn't wash away and she knew that there was only one way to deal with all of them. She had to talk to Jess. She had to talk to him about everything that had happened between them. Only then would she be able to get the closure that she wanted so badly. After that she would make the decision if she should let him go or not. But in her heart she had already made the decision. Rory smiled as she enjoyed the rest of her shower, thinking of the kiss they shared on the beach.
After her shower, she put on the most comfortable clothes that she brought with her and started to brush her hair that was still wet from the shower. She was still doing this when Lily came into the room, wearing a happy smile on her face.
Lily: ''Daddy's home, with pizza.''
Rory smiled and got up. Lily placed her small hand in Rory's and almost pulled Rory out of the room.
When Rory came into the room, Jess looked up at her from his spot on the armchair. Once again she took his breath away. She looked extraordinary in a pair of faded jeans and a brickred baby t-shirt. Her hair was wet, probably from the shower. Jess' mind went back to the beach, but that only lasted a second or two. Cause before he knew what he was doing, he was wondering what Rory would look like in the shower. Soon, a faint blush was covering his face and he had a sly smirk on his face. He looked at her as she sat down on the floor with her pizza. Before his thoughts could get too personal and revealing, he stopped and got up to get pizza.
Jimmy: ''So, Sash told me that you three went to the beach. How was it ?''
Jess shrugged and took a bite of his pizza.
J: ''Okay.''
Lily: ''It was more than okay.''
Lily shot Jess a look before she continued.
Lily: ''We had a lot of fun. Right Rory ?''
R: ''Yeah, we did.''
She met Jess' gaze briefly before she smiled at Lily.
Lily: ''Rory took surfing lessons.''
Jimmy: ''Now all you've gotta do is dye your hair blond and you'll fit in here perfectly.''
Jimmy laughed at his own joke and pointed at Sasha.
Jimmy: ''That's what she did.''
Sasha playfully hit him on his arm, which caused Jimmy to stop laughing, but an amused smile remained on his face.
S: ''Ignore him. That's what we all do, right Lil ?''
Lily: ''No we don't.''
J: ''Well I do.''
Lily stuck out her tongue and Rory realized that Jess was in a normal family for the first time in his life.
S: ''Anyway...................''
She looked from Jess to Jimmy to Lily, trying to be annoyed, but everyone in the room knew that she wasn't.
S: ''Were you any good ?''
Rory shook her head.
R: ''No.''
Lily: ''She kept falling off.''
Jimmy: ''It takes a lot of practice.''
Jess raised his eyebrows and looked at Jimmy.
J: ''You surf ?''
Jimmy shrugged like it was no big deal.
Jimmy: ''This is Venice Beach.''
J: ''You're a surfer.''
Jimmy: ''I'm not.''
J: ''Did you have blond hair too when you first got here ?''
Jimmy: ''Just because I know how to surf doesn't mean that I'm a surfer.''
J: ''You're one of those guys who keeps yelling cowabunga.''
S: ''And dude.''
Jimmy: ''Why are you helping him ?''
Rory shook her head and smiled as the two kept on teasing each other. Anyone could see that they really cared a lot for each other.
Halfway through dinner, Rory got up and went into the kitchen to get a drink. Since Sasha also drank coffee, there was still some coffee left in the coffeepot. Rory didn't think twice and poured it into one of the colorful coffee cups. Each of them was decorated with bright colors and funny slogans or pictures. Hers was covered with the names of fairy-tales. She looked at the cup and smiled. Everything in this house was so cheerful and colorful.
J: ''I'm guessing you found it.''
Rory's body jerked in surprise and if she hadn't been holding the cup with two hands it would have fallen to the ground. She turned around and found Jess standing in the door frame with his hands in his pockets, looking as intimidating as he always did.
R: ''Yeah, I found it.''
Rory quickly took a sip of her coffee, looking at everything except at Jess. Jess on the other hand kept his gaze on her.
J: ''Good.''
R: ''It is.''
Jess relaxed a little and couldn't help but smile at her lame joke. Rory saw and smiled back at him, causing his smile to turn into a grin. Rory took in his appearance and quickly finished her coffee. If she would give herself a couple of more seconds, she would find her urge to kiss him turn into desire and when that happened she knew that she wouldn't be able to control herself. Just took what happened at the beach for instance. Wasn't she the one who forced him to kiss her ? Well, not forced exactly, cause Jess was more than willing to kiss her. Rory found herself smiling as she was thinking this. She put the cup in the sink and headed for the door frame, expecting Jess to move, but he didn't. Finally he took a step too the side and turned sideways, so he was standing with his back against the door frame. When Rory past him, her arm gently brushed against his stomach. She locked eyes with him before she went back into the living room. Jess ran his hand through his hair and sighed before he followed her.
*~*~*
About an hour later, everyone had finished their pizza and were watching a movie. Well, almost everyone. Lily had only made it through the first half of the movie, after that she had fallen asleep with her head on Rory's lap. Rory wasn't really paying attention either. She kept throwing glances at Jess and Jess was doing the same. Jimmy and Sasha saw the frequent glances they were throwing at each other, but didn't say anything. They pretended not to notice. It wasn't any of their business after all. When the movie was over, Rory realized how tired she was. She could barely keep her eyes open. Jimmy got up and woke Lily up. He lifted her up and headed towards her bedroom.
R: ''I'm going to bed too.''
S: ''See you in the morning then.''
R: ''Good night. Night Jess.''
Jess just nodded and watched her head into Lily's room. Jimmy was just giving Lily a good night kiss when Rory came into the room. He smiled at Rory.
R: ''Thanks again for letting me stay here.''
Jimmy winked at her.
Jimmy: ''You're welcome. Sweet dreams.''
R: ''Night.''
After Jimmy left the room, she changed into her PJ bottoms and crawled under the covers. She was just about to close her eyes, when she heard Lily's voice.
Lily: ''Rory ?''
R: ''Yeah ?''
She turned around to look at Lily, who was lying on her stomach looking at her.
Lily: ''Are you Jess' girlfriend ?''
R: ''I don't know.''
Lily: ''How come ?''
R: ''Cause we haven't really talked yet.''
Lily: ''Oh.''
Rory was amazed by how she said that. It almost sounded like she understood the whole situation when really she didn't even know what the situation was.
R: ''Night Lily.''
Lily: ''Night Rory.''
Rory was glad that Lily wasn't the kind of person that kept asking questions. As Rory closed her eyes, she made a quick mental note to talk to Jess tomorrow. She would make him listen if she had to.
