*Hey you guys...I thought that I wasn't going to have any time to write, but the teachers

went extremely light on homework tonight and I decided to write since I had such

positive reviews...Thanks so much...now I know all of you have been asking for a see

each other naked chapter and so I think that I will do it in the next two chapters..in this

chapter, each of them finds out each other's secret feelings!*

(Luke's Apartment, Jess' room)

Rory had just finished her eight o'clock shift and she was dead tired..of course

she went to Chilton every day and dealt with Paris, but this was a bone tired. She had

been standing on her feet for about three hours serving coffee. She could not go to bed

yet because she still needed to talk to Jess about the whole situation. Sitting on the bed,

she bent down to put on her shoes and she saw a shoebox.

"Huh," she thought to herself, "I wonder if maybe these are some more



comfortable shoes..these boots are killing me!"

So she got down on the floor and slid out the box. She pulled open the lid but

did not see a comfy pair of sneakers but a half a dozen paperbacks, pictures, and, order

sheets and a sweater that looked suspiciously like the one she lost a month ago.

"What is this?" she thought.

She opened The Great Gatsby and saw many passages highlighted and tagged

REMINDS ME OF RORY. One was highlighted and underlined very heavily:



"His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy's white face came up to his own. He

knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her

perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited

listening for a moment longer to the turning-fork that had been struck upon a star. Then

he kissed her. At his lips' touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation

was complete."

In the margins was written," Reminds me of the day R.G and I kissed. Love

sparked all around."

"Oh my God!" thought Rory, "How am I ever going to be able to face Jess ever

again?"

***********************************************************************

Jess had just gotten home from Rory's grandparents house and he went into

Rory's room and lay down on her bed. He had had many a fantasy of this moment,

except Rory would be by him and scantily clad. He didn't love her for the sexual way

though, it was the whole package. After about five minutes, not being able to sleep,

Jess went over to Rory's desk and pulled out a few drawers, rifling through the papers.

He saw rough drafts for articles for the paper, book reports, and...a bundle of

enveloped letters tied together.

"Can't hurt to look," he thought," After all, I am Rory now."

He untied them and opened the first letter. It was dated while Rory was still in

Washington and strangely addressed to him.not Lorelai, not Dean, and not Lane.him!

"Dear Jess,

I have no idea to talk to you like this. I mean I ran away from you and left Stars

Hollow without even a goodbye. But the kiss did mean something to me. More than

you'll ever know. I just can't be with you..I have Dean and he is perfect for me, kind

quiet but you, you just came waltzing in..like you owned the place and I fell for you.

We shared our love for books, music. But my mother hated you and Lane hated you and

Dean hated you so we just will have to settle being friends. I love you Jess...but I'm

never going to send this letter and your never going to see it so it doesn't really matter.

I could just say absurd things now and they wouldn't really matter like..I used to

luuuuve Jonathon Taylor Thomas and for a brief while I secretly loved N*Sync..hehe

Rory

Jess gasped.Rory used to like Jonathon Taylor Thomas... and she loved him!





*Okay.a very fluffy chapter.and no offense to people who like JTT (I used to have a

monster sized crush on him) and I used to love N*sync (way back in the day..like a year

ago). I am reading The Great Gatsby for my outside reading book in English and that

passage was really beautiful and kind of reminded me of something Jess might be

thinking when he kissed Rory at Sookie's wedding. Another chapter soon. The NEKED

one! Wooohoooo! I have gotten numerous reviews asking for it so I will do it soon...

but its not gonna be smutty..just PG13ie kind of nakedness.*
