Secrets

Rory was sitting on the bridge looking down into the water, thinking about everything. Her mind was filled with memories, this is where she first realized she loved him, this is where she got to know him, and this was is the place where he stole her heart. A smile played across her lips due to all of her thoughts.

Jess walked on to the bridge, right away he saw Rory. He stared for a minute, he started walking towards her and said, "I've been behaving today," remembering her comment that she made last night, and he cocked his eyebrow at her.

Rory narrowed her eyes at him giving him a puzzled look and then she remembered what she said and she slightly blushed and looked back down towards the water. "Well you know, it's only the morning," she looked back up at him and smiled. "There is a lot you can do in a few hours."

"Oh, really," he moved closer and sat down next to her.

"Yep," she looked over at him and kissed him on the cheeks. "Can, we talk?" She had so much to ask, so much she wanted to tell him too.

He wasn't sure what she was going to ask, so he was kind of nervous he didn't like talking about his past. "Yeah I guess,"

There was no need to start with small talk Rory got right to the point. "I didn't mean for you and Dean to get into that fight at that party." She looked down into the water again. "Is that why you left?"

Jess sighed.

"We don't'-," He cut her off before she could finish.

"No, I thought it would be better for you, I thought you that you could do so much better than me, then when I was away I couldn't do anything without having you on my mind, it drove my nuts. I was pissed that day, I took it out on you, it was wrong. I flunked out of school and they wouldn't let me take you to the prom, I didn't know how to tell you I knew how bad you wanted to go. Then that night I pushed you to far, and I felt like a jerk. So the next morning I left. I'm sorry I did that to you." He looked down at the water and then up at her. He smiled "And here I am back again."

"Oh, I was ready that night, I just wanted to do it differently. I put a lot of thought into it, I want it to be special, not in someone's bed and I don't even know them, I want it to have meaning. I want my first time to great, that wouldn't be great Jess, have you ever slept with anyone?" It was a stupid question to ask, but she wanted to know, it was obvious that he had there was really no need to ask, but she still wanted to.

"Yeah, a lot. I know, I don't know what I was thinking," Jess looked down at the water once again. "You thought about it?" He was shocked, Rory having impure thoughts no way. He always had it on his mind, she drove him crazy, but didn't want to force her he wanted to wait it out, make her want him too.

"Yeah," she blushed.

"So what kind of thoughts?" He said trying to make her blush even more.

"I can't tell you, then they wouldn't be secrets." She said in a 'you should know that' tone.

"Then maybe you will show me?" He looked up at her and gave her a cocky grin.

"We'll see." She leaned over and kissed him.

Jess broke the kiss, "Just a question, How come you never slept with bag boy?" he was curious.

"Well, I didn't want to," she said simply.

"Good." He whispered as he leaned into kiss her again.

Mean while Luke had kicked everyone out of the diner after Lorelai left. He ran up the stairs and into the apartment. He went over to the coffee table and opened up the drawers he finally got to the right one, there sat a little red box. He stared down it for a moment then picked it up, and put it in his shirt pocket and walked out of the apartment. He drove to the jewelers in Harvard where he got the ring. When he got in the store he was immediately helped. "Hi, I need to return this," he took the box out of his pocket and flipped open the box.

"Do you have the receipt?" The woman behind the counter asked with out looking at the ring.

"Yeah, here." He took it out and handed it to her along with the ting box.

She looked down at the ring. "Why on earth are you returning this ring you spent so much and any woman would love it!"

"She not like any other woman."

"I served you last week you said she would love it, what happened?"

"That was a different girl, that was for Nicole."

The woman gave him a puzzled look, she thought he was crazy, "Right, why don't you pick out another ring." She nodded while she said it.

"This one," he took no time to look when he was in the last week he saw one she would love. It was platinum, it had clusters of diamonds in the middle and four tiny diamonds on each side. The woman handed him the ring. He paid for it and left.

Lorelai went right home, she was so happy she completely forgot about picking up the movies and junk food. Jess and Rory walked though the front door, and went over to Lorelai who was sitting on the couch smiling. "Hey honey I had they best day!" she said when she saw Rory and then she saw Jess trailing behind her. Oh, hi Jess, when did you get back?"

Rory talked before he could. "He got back this morning. What happened to you today? You look so happy."

"Luke, He didn't go, we kissed!!"

"Oh, wow!" She was happy for her mom, she knew Lorelai was waiting for this for a long time. "That's great!!"

"Yeah, and it gets better, the diner is open! We can eat good too!!"

"That's really good, thank god because we don't have any good food and we can't cook,"

"It looks like you two had a good day too."

"Yeah we did," Rory smiled it had been a great day. "Mom are we doing anything tonight?" Rory and Jess decided they wanted to go see a movie or something.

"No, I don't think so, why?"

"Me and Jess are going to go out."

"Yeah you can go, I'll find something to do." Lorelai looked over at the clock. "Well its almost 3 when did you plan on going?"

"I came home to get ready and we were going to leave right after that. Jess has to go get his car and he's going to pick me up right after that. Is that ok?"

"Yeah, just drive safe." She looked directly at Jess when she said it.

"Ok, well I'll see you in a half hour Rory." He said as he walked towards the door.

"Bye, Jess" She sat down next to her mom.

"Well it looks like Romeos in love," Lorelai said sarcastically.

"Yeah, maybe."

"How long have you known Jess has been back?"

Rory contemplated weather or not to tell the truth. A smile appeared on her lips. "Since about 2 this morning,"

"Oh, someone's a little more like mommy than she thinks she is."

"We didn't do anything!"

"Why didn't you tell me he was here Rory?" She sounded a little irritated.

"I don't know, I didn't want you to flip out!"

"And you didn't do anything, right."

"No, why don't you trust me?"

"I do trust you, I just don't want anything to happen." Her voice calmed down some. "You told me you would tell me, I just got nervous. I went into my Emily Gilmore phase." Lorelai reached over and hugged Rory.

"I will tell you, ok. Just trust me. I have to go get ready." Rory got up and left the room to get ready.
