double spaced pages on word. enjoy
*Next Morning:
Lorelai enters the diner, alone.
Luke looks up from the counter, "Hey."
"Hey." Lorelai replies grumpily.
"Flying solo?"
"Huh? Oh yeah."
Luke sighs, "Long night?"
Lorelai groans.
"Here." Luke places a cup of coffee in front of her.
Lorelai's eyes widen, "What? No fight to the death?
Luke grunts, "Shut up and drink it."
Lorelai grins faintly.
Luke's facial expression turns serious, "So, uh how's she doing?"
Lorelai sighs, "She's a wreck, not even out of bed yet."
"It's almost 11." Luke says, truly surprised.
"..........so Jess talked to you?"
"Well yeah, you know after he got done talking to his Dad on Sunday we sat down and discussed it."
"Sunday?"
"Yeah as in four days ago."
"But he only told Rory last night."
Luke scratches his head, "Yeah I know."
"They had a fight and he told her he just decided to go that instant."
Luke mutters, "Shit."
"Wait, you knew this was going to happen and you didn't tell me."
"Come on it's his business not mine, he told me he wanted to tell Rory himself........"
"We're not talking about Rory, we're talking about me, at least if you had told me I would have been better prepared to handle the 18 year old that came home hysterical last night." Lorelai says raising her voice."
"Do you know how stupid you sound right now, besides even if I was going to tell you I couldn't have until this morning---" Luke cuts himself off.
Lorelai huffs, "Why?"
"Forget it."
Lorelai inhales, "Why?"
"B-because I wasn't home ok."
Lorelai nods, biting her lip.
"Geeshis!" Luke exclaims. "Don't act like you're hurt when your not."
Lorelai stands up, "You know the next time you decide to dabble in the whole parental guardian thing maybe you should reread the chapter on sharing information with the involved parties." Lorelai replies coldly, walking to the door.
"You're not the involved party!" Luke yells out.
Lorelai leaves. Luke stomps up stairs.
*Luke storms into the apartment.
"Alright get out here."
Silence.
"Now!" Luke's voice echoes through the apartment.
"I'm in my bedroom if you have something you'd like to discuss, Uncle Luke." Jess says harshly.
Luke stands in the bedroom doorway, "Why'd you do it?"
"Do what?"
"Pick a fight with Rory like that."
"Damnit, Luke you don't know what you're talking about."
"I think I do?"
"And who'd you talk to, Lorelai?" Jess raises an eyebrow at his uncle.
"I can't believe you, you sit around all day Monday trying to figure out a way to tell Rory and then you go and turn it into this whole big thing that you're leaving because of her."
Jess sits up, resting his arms on his knees, "I told her it wasn't."
"Yeah well she thinks it is, she thinks the only reason you're going to California is because of the fight you had.........the fight you provoked."
"Look I still have no idea what you're talking about, I didn't provoke anything, you on the other hand seemed very killed in starting things." Jess smirks.
"Wipe that damn thing off of your face." Luke growls. "......and I told you to stop eavesdropping."
"Uh, Luke I'm pretty sure they heard you two in New York."
Luke sighs, "Look Jess, You have to go tell her that this is not her fault."
Jess looks down at his shoes.
"You're going to lose her."
Jess sighs.
"She didn't even come in for coffee this morning."
Jess looks straight into his eyes, "Ok, I'll talk to her."
*Lorelai enters the house loudly, muttering under her breath.
Rory appears at the stairs.
"Mom?"
"Oh hey sweets, just came home real quick to pick some stuff up, promised Sookie we'd look through those parenting magazines during lunch today."
Rory smiles, "So you mean......"
"No, but Sookie's hoping that reading the magazines will have some affect on that."
Rory giggles.
"Anyway, I'll be back around six, if you need me call me."
"Ok." Rory replies, "Hey mom, why were you cursing when you came in here?"
"What? Oh no reason, Luke was just being stupid.'
Rory looks at her confusedly.
"Don't worry about it sweets, try and relax today."
Rory nods sadly.
*The Bridge an hour later:
Rory is sitting on the bridge staring idly out at the water.
"hi." Jess says hoarsely, from behind.
Rory doesn't turn around or say anything; she remains focused on the water kicking her shoe against the bottom of the bridge.
Jess sits down next to Rory, duplicating her position.
Rory kicks the bridge again making a loud thumping noise.
"That mad at me huh?" Jess attempts a smile.
Rory glares at him, "I'm not mad at you."
"Yeah right. I'm sure Lorelai gave you loads of reasons to hate me this morning."
"No, my mom was gone before I got up."
"Don't play dumb Rory, I know she stopped home after getting coffee."
"She did but she didn't say anything to me except about her lunch with Sookie."
"Oh." Jess says briefly.
"Wait a minute, what was she suppose to tell me?"
"Never mind."
Rory's face becomes stern, "Fine." Rory stands to walk away.
Jess curses under his breath, "Rory wait."
Rory turns to look at him, "What?"
"She was going to tell you about the fight you and I had last night."
"Well I already know about that, I was there remember?" Rory replies. "Or did you forget how I made you realize that you should move across country?" Rory says bitterly.
"Rory!"
Rory sighs, "Look, I know I said I wasn't mad at you for leaving, and I'm not...........I'm mad at myself......."
"Don't be."
"I've rubbed my success in your nose everyday since we met, of course it's going to lead you to run away."
"Stop it." Jess rpelies.
"No." Rory sobs. "It's my fault you're leaving."
Jess takes Rory up in his arms. Stroking her hair he says, "It's not your fault...........I knew I was leaving last weekend."
Rory pulls away, "What?"
"The cut off date for my spot at UCLA was Tuesday."
"But you said......."
Jess sighs, "I lied."
Rory scrunches her nose, "You never lie..........not to me."
"I didn't know how to tell you the truth." Jess says quietly.
"So you picked a fight with me?" Rory replies letting go of Jess.
"I-I figured if you hated me, it would make leaving easier." Jess blurts out.
Rory takes a step back, "But what about me, I only slept for four hours last night.........I was up until 6 crying my eyes out."
"I know. I'm sorry."
Rory shakes her head."
Jess turns to leave, "It was selfish of me..........God, Rory do you know how hard it is to walk away from you?"
"So don't."
"I told you last night, I have to."
"But you were lying."
Jess shakes his head, "......about how I decided to leave yes, but not about why, I'm no good to you like this."
"Yes you are." Rory replies reaching out for jess.
Jess approaches Rory, letting her bury her face in his shirt.
"I wish I was, but I'm not."
"I love you." Rory replies choking on her tears.
Jess rubs her back soothingly, "I know, I love you too.......that's why have to do this."
Rory shakes her head uncontrollably.
"But I'll be back..........once I sort my self out."
"Please don't." Rory says before breaking down completely.
Jess kisses her head, "Come on, no more crying I don't leave or another two weeks."
Rory looks up at him, tears streaming down her face.
Jess wipes them away with the back of hid hand, "Let's make these the best two weeks of out lives."
Rory sniffles, "Ok."
Jess wraps his arms around Rory, leaning his head on her shoulder to conceal his own tears.
*An hour later: A very solemn Rory and Jess walk towards the diner.
"So they had a fight?"
Jess nods, "I don't think they're even speaking."
"He mentioned Nicole didn't he?"
"No, he mentioned her place though."
"Oh." Rory replies tightening her lips.
Jess touches her cheek with his hand; "He doesn't love her, not like he loves Lorelai anyway."
Rory nods.
"Hungry? I'll get us some burgers."
"No, I'm fine."
Jess looks at her strangely, "You not eating?"
Rory shakes her head.
Jess sighs, "I thought we were going to make the best of the next two weeks."
"I'm sorry I just, I can't not today..........you're still leaving..........i just spent the entire night and this morning crying, my sides hurt, my head aches and my heart is broken call me crazy but I'm just not in the mood to down a burger and fries right now."
"Neither am I." Jess says gruffly.
"Jess?"
"Yeah?"
"Could I.....do you think I could catch up with you later? I really need some sleep.......and I promise I'll be smiling when I see you tnight."
'Ok, I'll meet you here at 6?"
Rory nods, "Ok."
"Come on. I'll walk you home."
"No, it's ok, go have lunch , I need to be by myself right now."
Jess' eyes soften on Rory, "Ok, I love you."
Rory nods, "Love you too."
Jess watches Rory walk down the street, as soon as he can no longer see her shadowed form he turns and walks into the diner.
Rory turns around as soon as she feels Jess' gaze leave her. She checks to make sure he is no where in sight and then turns towards the Kim residence.
*5 minutes Later:
"Lane is punished, come back in 12 days," Mrs. Kim says sharply. "Please, I need to talk to her, it's important." Rory replies on the verge of tears.
Mrs. Kim recoils at the sight of facial leakage, "Alright 20 minutes.....but first you calm down!"
Rory sniffles sucking up her tears.
Mrs. Kim nods, opening the door.
*Lane's room:3 minutes later:
Lane hugs her friend, "I'm so sorry Rory."
Rory nods, "I know."
".....and just when he was starting to grow on me too."
Rory laughs, "What am I going to do with out him here?"
Lane shrugs, "The same thing you did before he came her.....well minus the making out with Dean part."
"I can't go back, not now that I know what love is........I can't just forget about him."
"I'm not saying you should but he's going to be so far away, seeing him once every 6 months is going to be hard........"
"We're not breaking up." Rory says shortly.
Lane sighs, "I know, but you have to be realistic. Life will go on when Jess leaves, you'll meet new people he'll meet new people, he could come back at Christmas and be a totally different person."
Rory's eyes widen, "You're right."
"Oh no." Lane says warily.
"These next two weeks could be the last to weeks of being with jess as I know him."
Lane frowns, "I should have just kept my mouth shut."
"No, I mean really........I-I can't wait any longer, if jess is going to be my first it has to happen before he leaves.......before he changes forever."
Lane remains silent.
"Look I know you don't have the same beliefs as me in that department, Lane, but this is my decision and lecturing me isn't going to stop me."
"I'm not going to lecture you. I think you're right actually."
Rory does a double take, "What?"
"Well we're not 13 anymore, and I know if Dave were moving to California I would highly consider my options before I decided not to."
Rory smiles faintly at her friends attempt not to make her feel bad, "Thanks Lane."
"Just know that I'll be here for you, through whatever."
Lane and Rory hug again.
"Lane!" Mrs. Kim calls.
"I should go." Rory says quietly.
86pm: Jess is waiting outside the diner for rory.
Rory approaches him, kissing him softly on the lips.
"Feeling better?" Jess asks.
"Yeah."
"Ready to eat?"
Rory tugs on Jess arm, "I think we should talk first."
Jess nods.
*The bridge.
"You're sure?" Jess asks surveying Rory's face.
"Yes." Rory says hesitantly.
"Because when I said I could wait........I meant it."
"I know, but I decided that I can't wait..........not six months anyway."
Jess smirks, "Ok then." He leans in and kisses her.
Rory pulls away, "But I need to know something first."
"Anything."
"You've done this before." She states.
"Jesus!"
"Just listen to me." She says shortly.
"Sorry."
"How many...." Rory blushes.
"How many what?"
"Come on Jess, you know what I'm going to ask." Rory says agitatedly.
Jess takes Rory's hand, "how many girls or how many times?"
"Both." Rory says trembling.
Jess avoids her eyes, "3 and 10."
Rory cringes, "Oh."
Jess sighs, "See I knew you weren't ready."
"No I am........it's just I didn't think you were that......"
"Hey, in New York that's what you're supposed to do when you have no parental guidance, smoke drink and f---"
"Jess." Rory cuts him off.
"Sorry."
"You don't have to defend yourself, I get it."
Silence consumes the two.
*10 minutes pass.
"Dean never even put his hand under my shirt."
Jess laughs, "Neither have I."
"Yea, but that's different."
"Why is it different?"
"Because you're......"
"What should I have put my hand under your shirt?"
Rory blushes, "No it's just....."
"What?" jess smiles, finding this comically.
Rory smiles back at him, still blushing, "I didn't want Dean to, but you......"
This time Jess blushes, "Oh."
Rory picks up on his embarrassment, "Maybe I shouldn't haven't opened this can of worms." She stands up.
Jess pulls her back down, "No I'm glad we're talking about it, I think we should.........I never discussed it with any of them, it just sort of happened."
"Oh." Rory says regretfully
Jess moves closer to Rory, "See when you don't really care about the person, you don't need to talk about it...........so I'm glad we are talking about it."
Rory smiles faintly.
Jess kisses her hand.
"So technically, you could have kids already running around New York somewhere." Rory comments.
"Or here."
Rory frowns, "Oh right."
"You were with Dean." Jess says sternly.
"I know."
Jess laughs, "I could have kids, but I don't."
"How can you be sure?"
"I've never been the love them and 'em type, I may not have cared about them but once I........with someone I keep in touch."
Rory smiles, "Good to know for future reference."
Jess laughs, "New topic."
"Thank God." Rory says relieved.
*a week and 5 days later: 7pm: Rory is sitting on the couch absent mindedly watching the tv. Lorelai rushes down the stairs.
"May 14th!" Lorelai screeches.
Rory comes out of her stupor, "What?"
"Sookie's due in may."
"Oh my God you're kidding?!"
"I'm going to be a God mother!"
The two Gilmores shriek.
"Are you going down to see her?"
"Right now."
"Tell her and Jackson I said congratulations."
"I will, hey aren't you going to come with me?"
"Can't I have a date with Jess."
Lorelai frowns, "Oh right."
"Sorry."
"Well make sure to give that boy's uncle a dirty look for me when you go in."
"I will." Rory says avoiding her mother's eyes, she doesn't dare tell her mother that Luke is not home tonight.
The doorbell rings, "Speak of the devil." Lorelai mutters.
"Mom."
"I know. I'm sorry."
Rory grabs her coat, opening the door.
"Ready?" Jess asks.
"Yeah let's go."
"Hi. Bye." Jess says to Lorelai.
"Uh huh."
*The diner.
"Uh maybe you should, go around back, Miss patty usually walk by here on her way home."
"Oh right." Rory replies as jess unlocks the darkened diner.
******Meanwhile at Sookie's:
"Come on let's go through the bay name book!"
"Ok." Lorelai says quietly.
"What's the matter babe?" Sookie asks, "I'm having a baby isn't that exciting?"
Lorelai nods, "Yeah you're having a baby.......I'm losing mine."
Sookie's face goes sour, "Oh."
*A minute later: Rory is waiting at the back door of the diner, trembling.
The back door swings open, Jess hand appears out of the darkness.
"Why didn't you turn on the lights?" Rory asks as she and jess stumble in the darkness trying to find the stairs.
"If I turned on the lights down here all of Stars Hollow would know you're here, and someone would run to tell your mom that the town screw up is deflowering her daughter, which would result in much unpleasant words being thrown my way not to mention the fact that Luke would kill me the second he manages to roll out of Nicole's bed."
"Right." Rory says quietly.
Jess unlocks the apartment door, "Here we are."
Rory nods nervously.
Jess squeezes her hand, "Do you want something to drink........I could make you something to eat."
"No, I'm fine." Ror says quietly.
"Take your coat?"
Rory slips off her coat handing ti to jess. As jess tosses it onto the couch she walks aimlessly across the floor stopping at the door to jess' room.
Jess walks up behind her, kissing her neck, "You ok?"
"Yeah, it's just I've never seen your room before......not with the walls up and everything."
Jess opens the door with ease, "It's just your run of the mill room."
"It's forest green." Rory crinkles her nose
"You have a problem with that?"
"No," Rory says facing jess, "I just didn't picture you having so much color in your room."
Jess smirks, "We;; I guess I proved you wrong." He leans in and kisses her square on the mouth.
Rory rests her hands against Jess' chest. He kisses her again leading inside.
They stumble onto his bed as their kiss deepens.
Jess moves his hands across Rory's back lifting her shirt up just enough to allow his hands entry.
Rory shivers.
Jess looks at her cautiously.
"Cold hands." Rory murmurs.
Jess smiles, moving his hands across Rory's stomach, the climb eagerly towards her bra.
Rory moans as Jess' left hand reaches her chest.
Jess smirks.
Rory pulls away, sitting up causing Jess to roll to his side.
"Rory?"
"Huh?" Rory says biting her lip nervously.
"What's the matter?"
"I, uh I need to get ready."
Jess laughs, "Why? I've got everything we need trust me." He reaches for his dresser draw.
Rory puts her hand on top of Jess', stopping him from opening the draw, "No I mean I'm going to get, um u-undressed." Rory blushes profusely
"Oh." Jess says quietly. A smirk creeps onto his face, "So what you're ok with having sex with me but you can't get undressed in front of me?"
Rory grimaces "Jess."
Jess sits up taking Rory in his arms, "Ok, I'm sorry, I just think it's cute."
Rory looks up at him sadly.
"Go, get changed.......I'll get everything set up in here."
Rory climbs off of Jess' bed and makes her way slowly towards the bathroom.
As soon as she reaches the door she enters, bolting the door behind her. Her heart begins to ace as she pulls her t-shirt over her head. Her fingers play with the button of her jeans, the image of her in the mirror makes her gasp. There in Luke Danes bathroom stands 18-year-old Rory Gilmore, in her bra and underwear preparing to give herself to Jess Mariano. Rory shivers, a year ago she had had a dream similar to this, except she was a lot less nervous and dressed in slinky lingerie. Yes, in that sense tonight was a lot different than she had imagined her first time, she always thought it would be in some romantic place not directly above the diner where she eats breakfast every morning, not scared to death, locked in Luke's bathroom, not dressed in a blue bra and panty set........but always with jess. Sure Rory had thought about having sex before but usually with movie stars or musicians, never with Dean, not once did it even cross her mind. She'd only seriously started thinking about it a year ago when she had a few random dreams during her trip to Washington, but even then it was always with Jess.
Rory takes a deep breath clenching her fists as she takes her jeans off.
A moment later the bathroom door opens.
Jess stirs at the sound of the door unlocking.
Rory stands out in the living room.
"Rory?" Jess calls.
"Yeah?" she says nervously.
"You ok?"
"Uh huh."
"Do you plan on joining me anytime soon?" Jess asks, a sense of amusement evident in his tone.
"Uh huh." Rory replies taking a single step forward.
"Ror? What's the matter?"
"J-Jess?"
"Yeah?"
"Come here."
Rory winces as jess' feet hit the floor, he stands at the doorway, darkness consuming his form.
Rory cowers backwards.
"Rory?"
Rory mutters to herself.
'We don't have to do this you know." Jess says reassuringly.
Rory sighs, "I want to." She steps into the light revealing her body still clad in its undergarments.
Jess takes a deep breath, taking in Rory beauty.
She shivers.
Jess laughs.
"I'm just not ready to take everything off, yet."
Jess grins.
"What?"
Jess steps forward, entering the light revealing his own form clothed in maroon boxer shorts.
Rory exhales, becoming more comfortable.
"Neither was I." He says his cheeks matching his boxers.
Rory smiles.
Jess holds out his hand, "Come on."
Rory takes his hand delicately in hers, together like two small children they walk hand in hand into Jess' bedroom.
Jess takes in Rory's scent, her sweet perfume flooding his senses.
Rory gulps, caressing Jess' bare chest with a single hand.
Jess takes her hand in his and kisses it tenderly.
Rory leans in, kissing Jess on the cheek.
Jess releases Rory's hand turning his concentration towards her neck.
Rory's arms fall to Jess' backside.
He grins, stumbling backwards towards the bed. He reaches it in the upright position, crushing Rory's hands as she lands awkwardly in his lap. Jess leans forward, wrapping his arms securely around her as she falls towards him.
Rory nurses her trodden hands. Jess kisses them tenderly.
"Sorry." He whispers.
"It's ok."
Jess takes hold of her wrists, causing her to make a small noise.
Jess pulls himself backwards taking Rory with him.
Rory rolls over so she is now facing Jess, her heart beating against his, she leans in and kisses him passionately.
Jess pulls away, "Let me know if I'm hurting you."
Rory nods running a hand though his hair, "I love you."
Jess smirks, "I should hope so........because I'm not the kind of guy who just goes to bed with----"
Jess is cut off by a deep kiss. Jess' hand reaches for his dresser he presses the play button on his cd player to throw off any nosey towns people. As a soft guitar rift begins jess hums to himself. Rory nudges him, reminding him of her presence. Jess' hand falls to the drawer and then up towards the lamp. Rory sighs happily as the light flickers out."
*Later: Jess strokes Rory's hair gently. Rory cuddles in close. Jess wraps his arms around her. Rory turns over so she is eye to eye with jess.
She smiles.
"Hey." Jess whispers.
Rory's puts her hand on jess' jaw; she bites her lip bashfully.
Jess laughs, "You're adorable."
"What happened to the whole macho guy persona?"
Jess pretends to be upset, "I'm vulnerable right now."
Rory smiles, knowing that while Jess is just kidding the truth is that both he and Rory are vulnerable. In the last few hours they had gone from taking a leisurely stroll through town to standing in Luke's apartment alone in their underwear to doing much more. Rory's smile fades.
Jess catches it's disappearance and squeezes Rory's hand comfortingly. Rory meets Jess' gaze.
Jess hugs her close.
Rory's smile reappears as she realizes that she has no regrets. Tonight was everything she wanted it to be. Ok so maybe Luke's apartment wasn't the most magical place to have her first time, but her inability to ever step foot inside there again is was worth it.
Now as she lies there with Jess' muscular arms secured around her petite frame, Rory Gilmore feels safe.
Jess kisses her cheek retrieving Rory from her thoughts.
"You looked far away." Jess says quietly.
"Thank you." Rory replies.
"I love you." Jess says.
Rory nods, "you keep telling me."
"I just wanted you to hear me say it now, after we...."
Rory kisses him.
"...because I wasn't saying it to get to this point." Jess continues.
"I know." Rory whispers leaning against Jess' bare chest.
Jess rests an arm around Rory's back.
Rory's eyes widen as she realizes she's as uncovered as Jess.
Rory shivers.
"You ok?" jess asks with concern.
"Cold." Rory replies.
Jess loosens his grasp on Rory, "Hold on."
Jess throws the scattered blankets around.
Rory can't help but grin as Jess searches for his boxer shorts.
A moment later jess climbs out of bed heading straight for his dressers.
"Here we go." Jess says tossing Rory a long sleeved navy blue shirt.
Rory attempts to catch it with her right hand as her left hand holds Jess' comforter up to her neck.
The shirts falls to the floor.
Jess laughs bending down to retrieve it, "Here." Jess grins.
Rory pulls the shirt over her head, carefully maneuvering it over Jess' comforter.
"I don't know why you're being so shy all of a sudden." Jess smirks.
"This from the man who just spent ten minutes looking for his boxers just so he could walk half a foot to his dresser." Rory smirks back.
"Alright, busted." Jess says sitting on the edge of the bed.
Rory wraps her arms around Jess' neck.
Jess kisses her hand, "You doing ok?"
"Rory nods, "Yeah.......this was definitely a distraction from the boxes sitting in the living room.
Jess sighs, "yeah it was." With one foul swoop Jess takes Rory with him has he lays back on the bed.
Rory cuddles in resting her head on his chest.
Rory moans contently.
"Hmm?" Jess asks.
"This is nice."
Jess nods.
"I wish we could stay like all night.
Jess kisses Rory's neck.
"....and then tomorrow would never come."
Jess leans in, "It is tomorrow." He whispers.
Rory turns towards the clock, it reads 12:06.
"Oh my God! I have to go."
Jess curses, "Rory."
"No my mom is probably waiting for me." Rory replies standing up.
Jess pulls her back onto the bed, "Don't get hysterical, get dressed and I'll walk you home."
Rory smiles, "You can't."
Jess buries his head in his hands, "You're killing me Lorelai Gilmore."
Rory stares at him, "What did you just call me?"
Jess smirks, "got your attention didn't I?"
Rory kisses him, "I didn't mean it like that..........it's just the last thing you need before you leave is for my mom to murder you, and believe me if you escort me home at 12:30am wearing the smirk you are right now she'll do it."
"Ok, I won't walk you all the way home, I'll walk you to the Gazebo."
"Ok." Rory replies standing up, pulling Jess' shirt down to cover her behind.
Jess smiles, "That shirt looks good on you."
Rory blushes, "I'll give it back as soon as I get changed."
"Keep it." Jess says plainly.
Rory doesn't dare to protest ok.
*Rory leaves the room in search of her clothes.
*5 minutes later Rory returns.
Rory looks at Jess with concern.
"What?" He laughs.
"I-I."
"What?"
"I can't find my bra." Rory mutters.
Jess laughs out loud, "I'll find it later.....let's go."
"ok."
*10 minutes later: Rory reluctantly leaves Jess at the gazebo, grinning ear to ear as the events of the night go through her mind.
*The Gilmore house:
The front door is locked: Rory unlocks it.
The house is just as she left it and there are no signs of her mother. Rory walks over to the answering machine where the message light is blinking. Rory presses play.
Hey Babe: It's mommy I know you probably still out with Jess but I wanted to let you know I'm staying over........i swear Sookie is way too excited about this I've just spent the last 2 hours trying to convince her that Thurtson is not the greatest name ever. So I'll meet you for coffee at Luke's in the am. Love ya if you need me my cell is on."
Rory exhales a sigh of relief, despite the fact that she is sure that her mother is already aware of what happened tonight, Rory is relieved that she doesn't have to face her mother just yet."
A/N: Ok well there's my most graphic chapter as of yet. Sheesh I'm such a wimp, I guess I'm a prude at heart but you know what I like leaving something to be desired now all you dirty minded readers can fill in the blanks yourself. He he cheeky monkeys. Anyway read and review, I'll be at school ay 8 tomorrow, 4 ½ hours before I have to be because of my carpool situation so if you're good and review I may update sooner than I should. Also I'm telling you that next chapter Jess is leaving, yes he's definitely leaving..but that just means the story will last longer yay! Right yay it's great right tell me it's great please!
*Next Morning:
Lorelai enters the diner, alone.
Luke looks up from the counter, "Hey."
"Hey." Lorelai replies grumpily.
"Flying solo?"
"Huh? Oh yeah."
Luke sighs, "Long night?"
Lorelai groans.
"Here." Luke places a cup of coffee in front of her.
Lorelai's eyes widen, "What? No fight to the death?
Luke grunts, "Shut up and drink it."
Lorelai grins faintly.
Luke's facial expression turns serious, "So, uh how's she doing?"
Lorelai sighs, "She's a wreck, not even out of bed yet."
"It's almost 11." Luke says, truly surprised.
"..........so Jess talked to you?"
"Well yeah, you know after he got done talking to his Dad on Sunday we sat down and discussed it."
"Sunday?"
"Yeah as in four days ago."
"But he only told Rory last night."
Luke scratches his head, "Yeah I know."
"They had a fight and he told her he just decided to go that instant."
Luke mutters, "Shit."
"Wait, you knew this was going to happen and you didn't tell me."
"Come on it's his business not mine, he told me he wanted to tell Rory himself........"
"We're not talking about Rory, we're talking about me, at least if you had told me I would have been better prepared to handle the 18 year old that came home hysterical last night." Lorelai says raising her voice."
"Do you know how stupid you sound right now, besides even if I was going to tell you I couldn't have until this morning---" Luke cuts himself off.
Lorelai huffs, "Why?"
"Forget it."
Lorelai inhales, "Why?"
"B-because I wasn't home ok."
Lorelai nods, biting her lip.
"Geeshis!" Luke exclaims. "Don't act like you're hurt when your not."
Lorelai stands up, "You know the next time you decide to dabble in the whole parental guardian thing maybe you should reread the chapter on sharing information with the involved parties." Lorelai replies coldly, walking to the door.
"You're not the involved party!" Luke yells out.
Lorelai leaves. Luke stomps up stairs.
*Luke storms into the apartment.
"Alright get out here."
Silence.
"Now!" Luke's voice echoes through the apartment.
"I'm in my bedroom if you have something you'd like to discuss, Uncle Luke." Jess says harshly.
Luke stands in the bedroom doorway, "Why'd you do it?"
"Do what?"
"Pick a fight with Rory like that."
"Damnit, Luke you don't know what you're talking about."
"I think I do?"
"And who'd you talk to, Lorelai?" Jess raises an eyebrow at his uncle.
"I can't believe you, you sit around all day Monday trying to figure out a way to tell Rory and then you go and turn it into this whole big thing that you're leaving because of her."
Jess sits up, resting his arms on his knees, "I told her it wasn't."
"Yeah well she thinks it is, she thinks the only reason you're going to California is because of the fight you had.........the fight you provoked."
"Look I still have no idea what you're talking about, I didn't provoke anything, you on the other hand seemed very killed in starting things." Jess smirks.
"Wipe that damn thing off of your face." Luke growls. "......and I told you to stop eavesdropping."
"Uh, Luke I'm pretty sure they heard you two in New York."
Luke sighs, "Look Jess, You have to go tell her that this is not her fault."
Jess looks down at his shoes.
"You're going to lose her."
Jess sighs.
"She didn't even come in for coffee this morning."
Jess looks straight into his eyes, "Ok, I'll talk to her."
*Lorelai enters the house loudly, muttering under her breath.
Rory appears at the stairs.
"Mom?"
"Oh hey sweets, just came home real quick to pick some stuff up, promised Sookie we'd look through those parenting magazines during lunch today."
Rory smiles, "So you mean......"
"No, but Sookie's hoping that reading the magazines will have some affect on that."
Rory giggles.
"Anyway, I'll be back around six, if you need me call me."
"Ok." Rory replies, "Hey mom, why were you cursing when you came in here?"
"What? Oh no reason, Luke was just being stupid.'
Rory looks at her confusedly.
"Don't worry about it sweets, try and relax today."
Rory nods sadly.
*The Bridge an hour later:
Rory is sitting on the bridge staring idly out at the water.
"hi." Jess says hoarsely, from behind.
Rory doesn't turn around or say anything; she remains focused on the water kicking her shoe against the bottom of the bridge.
Jess sits down next to Rory, duplicating her position.
Rory kicks the bridge again making a loud thumping noise.
"That mad at me huh?" Jess attempts a smile.
Rory glares at him, "I'm not mad at you."
"Yeah right. I'm sure Lorelai gave you loads of reasons to hate me this morning."
"No, my mom was gone before I got up."
"Don't play dumb Rory, I know she stopped home after getting coffee."
"She did but she didn't say anything to me except about her lunch with Sookie."
"Oh." Jess says briefly.
"Wait a minute, what was she suppose to tell me?"
"Never mind."
Rory's face becomes stern, "Fine." Rory stands to walk away.
Jess curses under his breath, "Rory wait."
Rory turns to look at him, "What?"
"She was going to tell you about the fight you and I had last night."
"Well I already know about that, I was there remember?" Rory replies. "Or did you forget how I made you realize that you should move across country?" Rory says bitterly.
"Rory!"
Rory sighs, "Look, I know I said I wasn't mad at you for leaving, and I'm not...........I'm mad at myself......."
"Don't be."
"I've rubbed my success in your nose everyday since we met, of course it's going to lead you to run away."
"Stop it." Jess rpelies.
"No." Rory sobs. "It's my fault you're leaving."
Jess takes Rory up in his arms. Stroking her hair he says, "It's not your fault...........I knew I was leaving last weekend."
Rory pulls away, "What?"
"The cut off date for my spot at UCLA was Tuesday."
"But you said......."
Jess sighs, "I lied."
Rory scrunches her nose, "You never lie..........not to me."
"I didn't know how to tell you the truth." Jess says quietly.
"So you picked a fight with me?" Rory replies letting go of Jess.
"I-I figured if you hated me, it would make leaving easier." Jess blurts out.
Rory takes a step back, "But what about me, I only slept for four hours last night.........I was up until 6 crying my eyes out."
"I know. I'm sorry."
Rory shakes her head."
Jess turns to leave, "It was selfish of me..........God, Rory do you know how hard it is to walk away from you?"
"So don't."
"I told you last night, I have to."
"But you were lying."
Jess shakes his head, "......about how I decided to leave yes, but not about why, I'm no good to you like this."
"Yes you are." Rory replies reaching out for jess.
Jess approaches Rory, letting her bury her face in his shirt.
"I wish I was, but I'm not."
"I love you." Rory replies choking on her tears.
Jess rubs her back soothingly, "I know, I love you too.......that's why have to do this."
Rory shakes her head uncontrollably.
"But I'll be back..........once I sort my self out."
"Please don't." Rory says before breaking down completely.
Jess kisses her head, "Come on, no more crying I don't leave or another two weeks."
Rory looks up at him, tears streaming down her face.
Jess wipes them away with the back of hid hand, "Let's make these the best two weeks of out lives."
Rory sniffles, "Ok."
Jess wraps his arms around Rory, leaning his head on her shoulder to conceal his own tears.
*An hour later: A very solemn Rory and Jess walk towards the diner.
"So they had a fight?"
Jess nods, "I don't think they're even speaking."
"He mentioned Nicole didn't he?"
"No, he mentioned her place though."
"Oh." Rory replies tightening her lips.
Jess touches her cheek with his hand; "He doesn't love her, not like he loves Lorelai anyway."
Rory nods.
"Hungry? I'll get us some burgers."
"No, I'm fine."
Jess looks at her strangely, "You not eating?"
Rory shakes her head.
Jess sighs, "I thought we were going to make the best of the next two weeks."
"I'm sorry I just, I can't not today..........you're still leaving..........i just spent the entire night and this morning crying, my sides hurt, my head aches and my heart is broken call me crazy but I'm just not in the mood to down a burger and fries right now."
"Neither am I." Jess says gruffly.
"Jess?"
"Yeah?"
"Could I.....do you think I could catch up with you later? I really need some sleep.......and I promise I'll be smiling when I see you tnight."
'Ok, I'll meet you here at 6?"
Rory nods, "Ok."
"Come on. I'll walk you home."
"No, it's ok, go have lunch , I need to be by myself right now."
Jess' eyes soften on Rory, "Ok, I love you."
Rory nods, "Love you too."
Jess watches Rory walk down the street, as soon as he can no longer see her shadowed form he turns and walks into the diner.
Rory turns around as soon as she feels Jess' gaze leave her. She checks to make sure he is no where in sight and then turns towards the Kim residence.
*5 minutes Later:
"Lane is punished, come back in 12 days," Mrs. Kim says sharply. "Please, I need to talk to her, it's important." Rory replies on the verge of tears.
Mrs. Kim recoils at the sight of facial leakage, "Alright 20 minutes.....but first you calm down!"
Rory sniffles sucking up her tears.
Mrs. Kim nods, opening the door.
*Lane's room:3 minutes later:
Lane hugs her friend, "I'm so sorry Rory."
Rory nods, "I know."
".....and just when he was starting to grow on me too."
Rory laughs, "What am I going to do with out him here?"
Lane shrugs, "The same thing you did before he came her.....well minus the making out with Dean part."
"I can't go back, not now that I know what love is........I can't just forget about him."
"I'm not saying you should but he's going to be so far away, seeing him once every 6 months is going to be hard........"
"We're not breaking up." Rory says shortly.
Lane sighs, "I know, but you have to be realistic. Life will go on when Jess leaves, you'll meet new people he'll meet new people, he could come back at Christmas and be a totally different person."
Rory's eyes widen, "You're right."
"Oh no." Lane says warily.
"These next two weeks could be the last to weeks of being with jess as I know him."
Lane frowns, "I should have just kept my mouth shut."
"No, I mean really........I-I can't wait any longer, if jess is going to be my first it has to happen before he leaves.......before he changes forever."
Lane remains silent.
"Look I know you don't have the same beliefs as me in that department, Lane, but this is my decision and lecturing me isn't going to stop me."
"I'm not going to lecture you. I think you're right actually."
Rory does a double take, "What?"
"Well we're not 13 anymore, and I know if Dave were moving to California I would highly consider my options before I decided not to."
Rory smiles faintly at her friends attempt not to make her feel bad, "Thanks Lane."
"Just know that I'll be here for you, through whatever."
Lane and Rory hug again.
"Lane!" Mrs. Kim calls.
"I should go." Rory says quietly.
86pm: Jess is waiting outside the diner for rory.
Rory approaches him, kissing him softly on the lips.
"Feeling better?" Jess asks.
"Yeah."
"Ready to eat?"
Rory tugs on Jess arm, "I think we should talk first."
Jess nods.
*The bridge.
"You're sure?" Jess asks surveying Rory's face.
"Yes." Rory says hesitantly.
"Because when I said I could wait........I meant it."
"I know, but I decided that I can't wait..........not six months anyway."
Jess smirks, "Ok then." He leans in and kisses her.
Rory pulls away, "But I need to know something first."
"Anything."
"You've done this before." She states.
"Jesus!"
"Just listen to me." She says shortly.
"Sorry."
"How many...." Rory blushes.
"How many what?"
"Come on Jess, you know what I'm going to ask." Rory says agitatedly.
Jess takes Rory's hand, "how many girls or how many times?"
"Both." Rory says trembling.
Jess avoids her eyes, "3 and 10."
Rory cringes, "Oh."
Jess sighs, "See I knew you weren't ready."
"No I am........it's just I didn't think you were that......"
"Hey, in New York that's what you're supposed to do when you have no parental guidance, smoke drink and f---"
"Jess." Rory cuts him off.
"Sorry."
"You don't have to defend yourself, I get it."
Silence consumes the two.
*10 minutes pass.
"Dean never even put his hand under my shirt."
Jess laughs, "Neither have I."
"Yea, but that's different."
"Why is it different?"
"Because you're......"
"What should I have put my hand under your shirt?"
Rory blushes, "No it's just....."
"What?" jess smiles, finding this comically.
Rory smiles back at him, still blushing, "I didn't want Dean to, but you......"
This time Jess blushes, "Oh."
Rory picks up on his embarrassment, "Maybe I shouldn't haven't opened this can of worms." She stands up.
Jess pulls her back down, "No I'm glad we're talking about it, I think we should.........I never discussed it with any of them, it just sort of happened."
"Oh." Rory says regretfully
Jess moves closer to Rory, "See when you don't really care about the person, you don't need to talk about it...........so I'm glad we are talking about it."
Rory smiles faintly.
Jess kisses her hand.
"So technically, you could have kids already running around New York somewhere." Rory comments.
"Or here."
Rory frowns, "Oh right."
"You were with Dean." Jess says sternly.
"I know."
Jess laughs, "I could have kids, but I don't."
"How can you be sure?"
"I've never been the love them and 'em type, I may not have cared about them but once I........with someone I keep in touch."
Rory smiles, "Good to know for future reference."
Jess laughs, "New topic."
"Thank God." Rory says relieved.
*a week and 5 days later: 7pm: Rory is sitting on the couch absent mindedly watching the tv. Lorelai rushes down the stairs.
"May 14th!" Lorelai screeches.
Rory comes out of her stupor, "What?"
"Sookie's due in may."
"Oh my God you're kidding?!"
"I'm going to be a God mother!"
The two Gilmores shriek.
"Are you going down to see her?"
"Right now."
"Tell her and Jackson I said congratulations."
"I will, hey aren't you going to come with me?"
"Can't I have a date with Jess."
Lorelai frowns, "Oh right."
"Sorry."
"Well make sure to give that boy's uncle a dirty look for me when you go in."
"I will." Rory says avoiding her mother's eyes, she doesn't dare tell her mother that Luke is not home tonight.
The doorbell rings, "Speak of the devil." Lorelai mutters.
"Mom."
"I know. I'm sorry."
Rory grabs her coat, opening the door.
"Ready?" Jess asks.
"Yeah let's go."
"Hi. Bye." Jess says to Lorelai.
"Uh huh."
*The diner.
"Uh maybe you should, go around back, Miss patty usually walk by here on her way home."
"Oh right." Rory replies as jess unlocks the darkened diner.
******Meanwhile at Sookie's:
"Come on let's go through the bay name book!"
"Ok." Lorelai says quietly.
"What's the matter babe?" Sookie asks, "I'm having a baby isn't that exciting?"
Lorelai nods, "Yeah you're having a baby.......I'm losing mine."
Sookie's face goes sour, "Oh."
*A minute later: Rory is waiting at the back door of the diner, trembling.
The back door swings open, Jess hand appears out of the darkness.
"Why didn't you turn on the lights?" Rory asks as she and jess stumble in the darkness trying to find the stairs.
"If I turned on the lights down here all of Stars Hollow would know you're here, and someone would run to tell your mom that the town screw up is deflowering her daughter, which would result in much unpleasant words being thrown my way not to mention the fact that Luke would kill me the second he manages to roll out of Nicole's bed."
"Right." Rory says quietly.
Jess unlocks the apartment door, "Here we are."
Rory nods nervously.
Jess squeezes her hand, "Do you want something to drink........I could make you something to eat."
"No, I'm fine." Ror says quietly.
"Take your coat?"
Rory slips off her coat handing ti to jess. As jess tosses it onto the couch she walks aimlessly across the floor stopping at the door to jess' room.
Jess walks up behind her, kissing her neck, "You ok?"
"Yeah, it's just I've never seen your room before......not with the walls up and everything."
Jess opens the door with ease, "It's just your run of the mill room."
"It's forest green." Rory crinkles her nose
"You have a problem with that?"
"No," Rory says facing jess, "I just didn't picture you having so much color in your room."
Jess smirks, "We;; I guess I proved you wrong." He leans in and kisses her square on the mouth.
Rory rests her hands against Jess' chest. He kisses her again leading inside.
They stumble onto his bed as their kiss deepens.
Jess moves his hands across Rory's back lifting her shirt up just enough to allow his hands entry.
Rory shivers.
Jess looks at her cautiously.
"Cold hands." Rory murmurs.
Jess smiles, moving his hands across Rory's stomach, the climb eagerly towards her bra.
Rory moans as Jess' left hand reaches her chest.
Jess smirks.
Rory pulls away, sitting up causing Jess to roll to his side.
"Rory?"
"Huh?" Rory says biting her lip nervously.
"What's the matter?"
"I, uh I need to get ready."
Jess laughs, "Why? I've got everything we need trust me." He reaches for his dresser draw.
Rory puts her hand on top of Jess', stopping him from opening the draw, "No I mean I'm going to get, um u-undressed." Rory blushes profusely
"Oh." Jess says quietly. A smirk creeps onto his face, "So what you're ok with having sex with me but you can't get undressed in front of me?"
Rory grimaces "Jess."
Jess sits up taking Rory in his arms, "Ok, I'm sorry, I just think it's cute."
Rory looks up at him sadly.
"Go, get changed.......I'll get everything set up in here."
Rory climbs off of Jess' bed and makes her way slowly towards the bathroom.
As soon as she reaches the door she enters, bolting the door behind her. Her heart begins to ace as she pulls her t-shirt over her head. Her fingers play with the button of her jeans, the image of her in the mirror makes her gasp. There in Luke Danes bathroom stands 18-year-old Rory Gilmore, in her bra and underwear preparing to give herself to Jess Mariano. Rory shivers, a year ago she had had a dream similar to this, except she was a lot less nervous and dressed in slinky lingerie. Yes, in that sense tonight was a lot different than she had imagined her first time, she always thought it would be in some romantic place not directly above the diner where she eats breakfast every morning, not scared to death, locked in Luke's bathroom, not dressed in a blue bra and panty set........but always with jess. Sure Rory had thought about having sex before but usually with movie stars or musicians, never with Dean, not once did it even cross her mind. She'd only seriously started thinking about it a year ago when she had a few random dreams during her trip to Washington, but even then it was always with Jess.
Rory takes a deep breath clenching her fists as she takes her jeans off.
A moment later the bathroom door opens.
Jess stirs at the sound of the door unlocking.
Rory stands out in the living room.
"Rory?" Jess calls.
"Yeah?" she says nervously.
"You ok?"
"Uh huh."
"Do you plan on joining me anytime soon?" Jess asks, a sense of amusement evident in his tone.
"Uh huh." Rory replies taking a single step forward.
"Ror? What's the matter?"
"J-Jess?"
"Yeah?"
"Come here."
Rory winces as jess' feet hit the floor, he stands at the doorway, darkness consuming his form.
Rory cowers backwards.
"Rory?"
Rory mutters to herself.
'We don't have to do this you know." Jess says reassuringly.
Rory sighs, "I want to." She steps into the light revealing her body still clad in its undergarments.
Jess takes a deep breath, taking in Rory beauty.
She shivers.
Jess laughs.
"I'm just not ready to take everything off, yet."
Jess grins.
"What?"
Jess steps forward, entering the light revealing his own form clothed in maroon boxer shorts.
Rory exhales, becoming more comfortable.
"Neither was I." He says his cheeks matching his boxers.
Rory smiles.
Jess holds out his hand, "Come on."
Rory takes his hand delicately in hers, together like two small children they walk hand in hand into Jess' bedroom.
Jess takes in Rory's scent, her sweet perfume flooding his senses.
Rory gulps, caressing Jess' bare chest with a single hand.
Jess takes her hand in his and kisses it tenderly.
Rory leans in, kissing Jess on the cheek.
Jess releases Rory's hand turning his concentration towards her neck.
Rory's arms fall to Jess' backside.
He grins, stumbling backwards towards the bed. He reaches it in the upright position, crushing Rory's hands as she lands awkwardly in his lap. Jess leans forward, wrapping his arms securely around her as she falls towards him.
Rory nurses her trodden hands. Jess kisses them tenderly.
"Sorry." He whispers.
"It's ok."
Jess takes hold of her wrists, causing her to make a small noise.
Jess pulls himself backwards taking Rory with him.
Rory rolls over so she is now facing Jess, her heart beating against his, she leans in and kisses him passionately.
Jess pulls away, "Let me know if I'm hurting you."
Rory nods running a hand though his hair, "I love you."
Jess smirks, "I should hope so........because I'm not the kind of guy who just goes to bed with----"
Jess is cut off by a deep kiss. Jess' hand reaches for his dresser he presses the play button on his cd player to throw off any nosey towns people. As a soft guitar rift begins jess hums to himself. Rory nudges him, reminding him of her presence. Jess' hand falls to the drawer and then up towards the lamp. Rory sighs happily as the light flickers out."
*Later: Jess strokes Rory's hair gently. Rory cuddles in close. Jess wraps his arms around her. Rory turns over so she is eye to eye with jess.
She smiles.
"Hey." Jess whispers.
Rory's puts her hand on jess' jaw; she bites her lip bashfully.
Jess laughs, "You're adorable."
"What happened to the whole macho guy persona?"
Jess pretends to be upset, "I'm vulnerable right now."
Rory smiles, knowing that while Jess is just kidding the truth is that both he and Rory are vulnerable. In the last few hours they had gone from taking a leisurely stroll through town to standing in Luke's apartment alone in their underwear to doing much more. Rory's smile fades.
Jess catches it's disappearance and squeezes Rory's hand comfortingly. Rory meets Jess' gaze.
Jess hugs her close.
Rory's smile reappears as she realizes that she has no regrets. Tonight was everything she wanted it to be. Ok so maybe Luke's apartment wasn't the most magical place to have her first time, but her inability to ever step foot inside there again is was worth it.
Now as she lies there with Jess' muscular arms secured around her petite frame, Rory Gilmore feels safe.
Jess kisses her cheek retrieving Rory from her thoughts.
"You looked far away." Jess says quietly.
"Thank you." Rory replies.
"I love you." Jess says.
Rory nods, "you keep telling me."
"I just wanted you to hear me say it now, after we...."
Rory kisses him.
"...because I wasn't saying it to get to this point." Jess continues.
"I know." Rory whispers leaning against Jess' bare chest.
Jess rests an arm around Rory's back.
Rory's eyes widen as she realizes she's as uncovered as Jess.
Rory shivers.
"You ok?" jess asks with concern.
"Cold." Rory replies.
Jess loosens his grasp on Rory, "Hold on."
Jess throws the scattered blankets around.
Rory can't help but grin as Jess searches for his boxer shorts.
A moment later jess climbs out of bed heading straight for his dressers.
"Here we go." Jess says tossing Rory a long sleeved navy blue shirt.
Rory attempts to catch it with her right hand as her left hand holds Jess' comforter up to her neck.
The shirts falls to the floor.
Jess laughs bending down to retrieve it, "Here." Jess grins.
Rory pulls the shirt over her head, carefully maneuvering it over Jess' comforter.
"I don't know why you're being so shy all of a sudden." Jess smirks.
"This from the man who just spent ten minutes looking for his boxers just so he could walk half a foot to his dresser." Rory smirks back.
"Alright, busted." Jess says sitting on the edge of the bed.
Rory wraps her arms around Jess' neck.
Jess kisses her hand, "You doing ok?"
"Rory nods, "Yeah.......this was definitely a distraction from the boxes sitting in the living room.
Jess sighs, "yeah it was." With one foul swoop Jess takes Rory with him has he lays back on the bed.
Rory cuddles in resting her head on his chest.
Rory moans contently.
"Hmm?" Jess asks.
"This is nice."
Jess nods.
"I wish we could stay like all night.
Jess kisses Rory's neck.
"....and then tomorrow would never come."
Jess leans in, "It is tomorrow." He whispers.
Rory turns towards the clock, it reads 12:06.
"Oh my God! I have to go."
Jess curses, "Rory."
"No my mom is probably waiting for me." Rory replies standing up.
Jess pulls her back onto the bed, "Don't get hysterical, get dressed and I'll walk you home."
Rory smiles, "You can't."
Jess buries his head in his hands, "You're killing me Lorelai Gilmore."
Rory stares at him, "What did you just call me?"
Jess smirks, "got your attention didn't I?"
Rory kisses him, "I didn't mean it like that..........it's just the last thing you need before you leave is for my mom to murder you, and believe me if you escort me home at 12:30am wearing the smirk you are right now she'll do it."
"Ok, I won't walk you all the way home, I'll walk you to the Gazebo."
"Ok." Rory replies standing up, pulling Jess' shirt down to cover her behind.
Jess smiles, "That shirt looks good on you."
Rory blushes, "I'll give it back as soon as I get changed."
"Keep it." Jess says plainly.
Rory doesn't dare to protest ok.
*Rory leaves the room in search of her clothes.
*5 minutes later Rory returns.
Rory looks at Jess with concern.
"What?" He laughs.
"I-I."
"What?"
"I can't find my bra." Rory mutters.
Jess laughs out loud, "I'll find it later.....let's go."
"ok."
*10 minutes later: Rory reluctantly leaves Jess at the gazebo, grinning ear to ear as the events of the night go through her mind.
*The Gilmore house:
The front door is locked: Rory unlocks it.
The house is just as she left it and there are no signs of her mother. Rory walks over to the answering machine where the message light is blinking. Rory presses play.
Hey Babe: It's mommy I know you probably still out with Jess but I wanted to let you know I'm staying over........i swear Sookie is way too excited about this I've just spent the last 2 hours trying to convince her that Thurtson is not the greatest name ever. So I'll meet you for coffee at Luke's in the am. Love ya if you need me my cell is on."
Rory exhales a sigh of relief, despite the fact that she is sure that her mother is already aware of what happened tonight, Rory is relieved that she doesn't have to face her mother just yet."
