A/N: Hey guys sorry about everything with chapter eleven. They still
wouldn't let me upload it, so this is chapter twelve. But to let you guys
know what happened in chapter eleven, it wasn't really a lot. It was after
Rory got home from almost kissing Jess, she had some coffee, well actually
ten cups. But anyway, she got up the next morning called in sick, then
Jess came over and asked Rory out to a movie, but instead Rory suggested
going out and renting some movies. It was a really short chapter, but a
filler. So here's chapter.well now it's chapter eleven I guess...But it
was chapter twelve. Uh.. I've confused myself, this is now chapter eleven.
Ok hope you guys like it as much as me! Let me know.

What The Heart Wants 11
Usual Disclaimers Apply
It had been two days since Jess had come over and asked Rory out to a movie. He had stayed till 3:30 in the morning. They had watched three movies, then just talked. Rory wasn't exactly sure what about, they just talked about what they had been doing the past few years, and that sort of stuff. She was just so happy to be able to talk to him, she would just stare and grin at him. Of course until he said something that made her blush and turn away. He was still the same old Jess, but when needed he was very mature.
Rory had just gotten home from work, when she opened the door she saw a note on the floor right in front of her door. She bent down and picked it up, walked over to the kitchen and set her stuff down on the counter. She turned around and leaned up against the counter, then started opening the note. When she opened it and started to read it she smiled, she had recognized his hand writing, of course she did why wouldn't she. She still had the book he had wrote in, she had looked at it like everyday while she was in college. Until she meet Tristan again, then it slowly decreased. The note read.
"Hey Rory,
Meet me at the Fire Cup Coffee House at 5:00. If you don't remember it's the one in the bookstore that I work at.
Jess"
Rory folded the paper back up and put it in her jean pockets. She looked at her watch, seeing it was 4:30 she grabbed her purse and headed back out the door.
When she got to the coffee house she saw Jess sitting at a back table drinking some coffee. She remembered that he didn't drink coffee and wondered why he was now. She shook her head, making a mental note to ask him about it and headed on over to him.
Rory: Hey.
Jess had known she was there, the atmosphere in the building changed when she walked through the doors. It always did. He had seen her look at him when she walked in, then shake her head. He wondered what it was about.
Jess: Hey.
Rory pulled out a chair and sat across from Jess. Jess took a sip from his coffee cup.
R: I thought you didn't drink coffee.
J: Well I only drink the stuff if I'm tired, stressed, or trying to think. And trying to think leads to being stressed then that leads to being tired.
R: So it could be either one or all three of them then?
J: It could be.
R: Well which is it?
J: Why would you like to know?
R: Oh I don't know, just trying to pry my way into finding out why you wanted me here.
Jess smirked.
J: Can't I want to talk to my friend?
R: Yea well you could have left a message on the machine, that note was kinda creepy.
J: I don't like talking to a person when their not there.
R: Uh huh.
Jess just looked at her, she had a playful grin on her face. And her eyes were lit up so bright, he had a little trouble looking at them.
R: So you wanted to talk? What about?
J: I wanted to talk about... stuff.
Rory looked at him with a questioning face.
R: Stuff?
Jess just grinned and shook his head.
J: Stuff.
R: Ok so, stuff.. What kind of stuff?
J: Whatever.
R: Ok so this gives us a great variety of subjects then.
J: Yup.
R: What do you think about "The Falls".
Jess looked up at her.
J: Excuse me?
R: You know the book, the woman's husband fell off of the dam and drowned or something.
Jess looked down at his coffee cup, shook his head and grinned. He should have known it was a book, if Rory could pick the subject then it was books.
J: Should have known.
R: What?
J: Nothing, I haven't read that one yet.
R: Oh.
J: How is it?
R: What?
J: The book.
R: Oh, it's ok. I've only read it once.
J: Ah.
Rory knew he didn't just want to talk. There was some other reason he had asked her to come.
R: Jess why did you want me to come here.
J: I told you, to talk.
R: Jess.
J: What?
R: You want to talk to me about something specific though. Now what is it?
Jess sighed, he hated when she could see right through him. But that's how much she knew him. But also in a way he liked it, he didn't have to worry about hiding himself when he was around her.
J: Fine, I wanted to ask you...
Jess paused, Rory looked at him with an urging look.
J: I wanted to ask you how you felt about Tristan.
Rory smiled at the thought of Jess asking her this question, it showed her that he stilled cared about her that way.
R: Well.. Tristan and me have dated off and on. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about him. I know I love him, but right now.. It's just as a friend. Why?
Jess knew she was playing dumb, she got a certain look in her eye's that gave everything away.
J: Uh. Just wanted to know.
R: Ok.
Rory grinned, she knew very well why he had asked her that question.
Jess took another sip of his coffee, peering over the top of the cup to look at her. She tried so hard to act dumb, but she should have known that he would see that she knew, knew why he had asked her that.
R: So.
J: So.
R: What you doing tonight?
J: Uh.. Going to bed.
R: Ok, what are you doing before you go to bed?
J: Um. Probably going to read.
Rory paused. Should she ask, would he think she was invading. No he wouldn't after just asking about Tristan, he shouldn't at least.
J: What?
R: Well.. I was wondering if you would like some company?
Rory tilted her head and grinned.
J: Yea, sure.
Rory's smile grew larger.
R: Ok.
J: Ok.
R: So how many more cups of coffee are you going to have?
J: Not sure.
R: You do know this is kind of backwards.
J: What is kind of backwards?
R: This is your what second or third cup of coffee?
J: Third.
R: Ok and I haven't even had one and this doesn't seem weird or backwards to you?
Jess grinned.
J: Yea, maybe it is.
R: Maybe?
J: Maybe.
R: Maybe.
Jess stood up from his chair pushing it in, then reaching down in his pocket and throwing some money on the table. He looked over at Rory who was still sitting in her chair.
J: Are you coming or are you going to sit there and wait for me to return tomorrow?
R: Yes I'm coming.
Rory gave him an aggravated look, then stood. When she stood up she smiled, she couldn't keep faking him.
R: What if I wanted some coffee?
J: Then you should have ordered some when you got here.
R: But we were talking, I couldn't drink it, what if I want some now?
J: Then you can go get some, but I'm leaving.
R: Uh huh, so if I walk over to that counter then your just going to walk out and leave me?
J: Looks like it.
R: Your rude.
J: How so?
R: After inviting me here for coffee and to talk, then inviting me over to your apartment.
J: Ok well first off, I did invite you here for coffee and to talk. And second I didn't invite you to my home.
R:.. Ok so your right. But still you said I could come.
J: Fine, Rory would you like some coffee?
R: Nope.
Jess sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
J: Come on.
Rory grinned and trailed after Jess.
*~*~*
At Jess' Apartment.
Jess and Rory were sitting in a window seat. Jess had one overlooking the street. They were sitting together reading with a blanket over them and hot chocolate.
Rory wasn't sure what they were reading, she hadn't been reading anyways. She was watching Jess. She knew that Jess wasn't really reading either, but neither would admit to anything. Every once in a while they would glance at each other. Making it more obvious that neither were reading. Rory rested her head on Jess's shoulder, Jess smiled but didn't look at her. Rory looked up at Jess.
R: Jess.
Jess looked at her but didn't say anything. She had a serious look on her face, one that he had never seen before. For once he couldn't look in her eyes and tell what was wrong. Her eyes were a lighter blue, lighter than usual.
Rory looked down at the book then back up at Jess. When she saw he was still looking at her she leaned in and kissed him. She smiled when he kissed her back, making it harder to kiss. He ran his hands through her hair. When they both finally pulled away Jess looked at Rory.
R: What?
Jess just grinned, she had never been the one to take control.
J: Nothing. Come here.
Jess pulled Rory into his lap, so that she was sitting in between his legs. Both still covered with the blanket started reading again. But this time they weren't reading or looking at the other. They both were thinking about what had just happened between them. Both hoping that it would lead to only good things.
