Rory woke up smiling as she remembered she was driving home for the weekend. With Jess. The past week had been amazing. When she wasn't in class or studying, she was with Jess. They has caught up on the time they'd spent apart. Jess told Rory all about Venice and his father. Rory filled Jess in on her backpacking trip with her mother. Everything was perfect.
Rory slowly turned over and smiled as she saw his face. He was fast asleep. He looked so peaceful and innocent. True, he wasn't anywhere near innocent, but as he slept Jess could pass for innocent looking. If only barely. The sight of Jess asleep brought yet another smile to Rory's face. He always seemed to have that kind of affect on her. She loved waking to the image of Jess beside her. She reached over slowly as if not to disturb him. She retrieved the photo and brought it closer. Granted, the sleeping Jess was only a snapshot of an earlier occasion but the feeling was the same. Or so she imagined. Rory knew what it was like to wake to Jess' sleeping image on her nightstand. She could only imagine what it felt like to awaken and feel the warmth of his body beside hers. She sighed and pushed the thought out of her mind. They were no where near that point and Rory was perfectly okay with it. They were starting anew.
Although they weren't a couple again, their friendship was stronger than Rory could've imagined. She looked at the picture of Jess' sleeping image and smiled. He hated the fact she had caught him asleep on her bed while waiting for her. It was a true Kodak moment. Rory set the picture back down on her nightstand and sat up. Pushing her covers back, she swung her legs over the side of her bed and slid her feet into her bunny slippers. Standing up, Rory grabbed a hair elastic and pulled her hair back and into a pony tail. She grabbed her toiletries and went to shower.
Rory still hadn't told her mother about Jess. Today, there would be no avoiding it. Never one to keep a secret from her mother, Rory was going over the different scenarios as to how to let Lorelai know that Jess was back in her life. Oh, what a day it was going to be.
