A/N: yep, so I'll be posting pretty frequently, because they're short. I'm
gonna be playing a little bit with Jess' character and maybe Luke's, other
than that, I'll try and keep them basically the same.. anyway, hope you
enjoy
Jess looked to Rory, his heart speeding up. What was she going to say? They needed to break up? oh no.. Jess thought helplessly. "Well? About what?" He tried to sound cool, and unworried.
"Well.. I.. I kind of.." Rory stuttered, looking at her hands, "I lost your CD," Rory glanced back up at him, knowing what she made it sound like, and trying her hardest not to grin.
Jess laughed, picking Rory up and spinning her around and dropping her back down onto the couch. "OH, you!" is all Jess said before tickling her ruthlessly everywhere he could reach. Rory, being extremely ticklish, broke out laughing the second he started. Jess climbed onto the couch, straddling Rory, all the while tickling her. Trying to fight back, she started tickling jess' stomach, but to her dismay, she found out he wasn't ticklish, at least his stomach.
Suddenly, the door is thrown open and Luke is standing there, glaring at both of them. For a second, he just stands there watching them without them noticing him. Then Jess sees him and quickly moves off Rory. "Luke, this.. isn't what it looks like, we were only playing, I swear. I.."
"I know Jess, just shut up for a sec, alright," Luke cut him off, looking more annoyed than worried, "but that doesn't matter. I can't have you two 'playing' up here with a diner full of customers down there!"
"oh.." Rory said from the couch, "I'm sorry. We can leave, go somewhere else." Jess nodded in agreement, not saying anything.
Luke nodded, looking exactly like Jess but not really noticing, "That would help, thanks."
Rory jumped up off the couch and grabbed Jess' hand before pulling him down to the diner and outside. She looked down the street before glancing at Jess, "well? Where to?"
Jess sat there for a second, thinking, then decided on the regular place, "The bridge, of course." Rory grinned and pulled at Jess' hand with one hand and pointed with her other, "to the bridge!"
Just as they reached the bridge, Rory said into the silence, "you know? I'm going to have to get you back for tickling me like that."
"Really?" Jess said as they walked to their normal spot in the center, "and how are you going to do that?"
Just as he said it, Rory gently pushed him off the bridge, laughing at him as he fell into the water. As he came back up, sputtering, he laughed as well. Jess held his hand out to Rory, wanting to get up out of the water. She went and started helping him out when instead he pulled her in with him.
Rory came up laughing, wrapping her arms around his neck as he slid his arms around her waist. "Oh well hello! Imagine seeing you in here," Rory laughed, moving closer to him.
"Oh yeah.." Jess answered before pressing his lips against Rory's. Slowly he moved his hands up the back of her shirt while moving the kisses down to her neck. Rory slid her hands through his now wet hair, moaning quietly. I make her do that.. Jess marveled as he continued kissing across her neck.
As he started to try and pull up her shirt she broke away from the kiss, pushing away from him and breathing heavily, "No Jess, I can't.. Not here.. Not now.. Please Jess," She looked up into his eyes, pleading with him to understand.
Jess moved closer to her, holding his arms out to her. As he enveloped her with his arms, he said, "Rory, its okay, I get it. Wait.. You said not now? Does that mean later.." He asked, confused.
Rory nodded, looking across the water as she blushed before looking back up into his eyes, "Yeah. I..I love you Jess. I think I have since the first day you came here." She held her breath, afraid that his feelings won't be the same.
Jess just smiled, kissing her forehead, "I love you too, Rory." Suddenly, he picked her up by the waist and threw her out into the deeper water. Rory squealed in delight before going under. She came back up and splashed him.
"Now is that how you treat all the women who tell you that they love you? No wonder you haven't had a girlfriend in so long!" Rory laughed. Jess just smiled, swimming over to her.
"I haven't had a girlfriend that I've loved.." Jess said quietly, looking down at the water, "before you."
Rory smiled, touched, and slid her arms around him once more. She gently pressed her lips against his. "I love you Jess."
"I love you too. Now let's get you home before your mom starts to worry. As much as she says 11, you know she means more like 9:30," Jess paused, thinking, "are you going to tell her?"
Rory caught on at once of what he meant, "Not yet, but soon. She's my mom Jess, I can't keep something like this from her for long." Jess only nodded, but he smiled as he did.
He lifted himself out onto the bridge then turned to help her out. When she was up she stumbled and fell into his arms, "Well? If this is what I get for helping you, I should do it more often," Jess joked. Rory slapped him lightly on the arm, laughing.
"Come on, let's go home."
***Outside Rory's home***
"Goodnight," Jess said, kissing Rory softly. Then leaning into her ear he whispered, "I love you."
Rory smiled, and whispered back, "I love you too. Goodnight."
Just before walking through the door Lorelai ran back into the kitchen from where she had been listening to the two talk. Rory opened the door and called out, "Thelma!?"
"Louise! In the kitchen making the elixir of life," Lorelai called back. Rory slipped off her wet shoes and walked into the kitchen still soaking wet. As soon Lorelai saw her she broke out laughing. "Rory! What happened? It looked like you feel into a river!"
Rory blushed a bit, and grinned, "I kinda did.. in a way," at Lorelai's confused look, she continued, "I got pulled in."
Lorelai laughed even harder, holding onto her side with a hand. Once she had calmed down (a good five minutes later), she asked. "by a certain James Dean?" At Rory's blush, she knew she was right, "so how did Jess get into the river in the first place?"
"I pushed him in," Rory said, laughing, "Mom, can I go change, I am soaking wet ya know."
Lorelai laughed, and nodded, "Yeah, go, but I want to hear all about your little river adventure when you're done."
A/N: so yeah, not the greatest place to stop, but what can you do? Reviews are nice too, they are a good motivator.
