Chapter 5: Unfinished business
A half hour had passed and Dean still wouldn't talk to Rory. Rory didn't say anything to him either. She didn't want to anger him. This is ridiculous, Rory thought. I mean we're stuck in a bathroom together. Why can't we just get along?
"What's wrong with me?" Dean asked, suddenly.
"Huh?" Rory was startled by his question. She totally wasn't expecting that.
"You heard me."
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing. You are sweet, funny, charming, and good-looking. Those are important qualities in a guy. You're perfect."
"First of all, I don't think I'm good-looking. Second of all, if I'm so 'perfect' then why are you with Jess?"
"Because I like him."
"Is he sweet, funny, charming, and good-looking?"
"Well.I'm not sure about the sweet part. He is funny, but only when he and Luke are fighting and he doesn't think it's funny because Luke pisses him off. He's somewhat charming. And he is good-looking."
"But, still. He's better than me so you would rather be with him."
Dean didn't sound angry when he said these things. He sounded hurt and depressesd.
"What happened Rory?" Dean asked. "Was I not good enough? Did you want to break up before he moved here?"
"No," Rory said. "It was never you. I loved you so much. You were the ideal guy for me. You were kind to me. You never intended to hurt me. I really enjoyed being with you."
Dean sighed.
"Rory, don't you ever feel like we have unfinished business?" he asked.
Rory thought for a moment. She never thought about it before. But, now sitting there, she felt that way, too.
"Yeah," she said, finally.
"Does it ever bug you?" Dean asked.
"I guess," said Rory. "What do we do to finish it?"
"I don't know."
They sat in silence for a moment. Clay Aiken's "this is the night" started playing downstairs.
"Hey, Rory," said Dean. "Would you like to dance?"
"Um, sure," said Rory.
They stood up. Dean put his hands around Rory's waist and Rory wrapped her arms around Dean's neck. As they swayed to the music, Rory looked at their reflection in the mirror. It looked like a perfect picture, but she thought that picture would be with Jess. But, it was with Dean.
Rory turned her head to look at Dean. He looked back at her. Their faces were only one centimeter apart. Suddenly, on impulse, Rory pressed her lips against his.
To Be Continued.
A/N: Just because they kissed doesn't mean I'm putting them together....yet. Chapter 6 is coming soon.
