I'm back! Yay! I was going to update when I got home from work Saturday but
I was on such a natural high I couldn't. An old friend of mine came into
work and gave me the best hug of my life, it was so unexpected since I
hadn't seen him for more than 10 minutes in 6 months and we never were on a
hugging basis......................................but we are now *grin*,
so needless to say I will be detailing the best of hug of my life in this
chapter using Jess and Rory. Anyway this chapters not much basically filler
to move time alone, as is the story is now into November b/c writing four
chapters about a month in a half is crazy.
Rory moans in her sleep, rolling over, as she cuddles into her blankets she feels a pair of eyes on her. A smile creeps onto her face; Rory opens her eyes.
"Hey," Jess' rough voice whispers.
"How long have you been awake?" Rory asks.
"Not long," Jess lies.
Rory kisses him square on the lips, her cold hands resting against his jaw.
Jess takes her hands and rubs them together, "Cold hands."
Rory giggles.
Jess pulls Rory closer, wrapping his arm around her.
"I missed you." Rory whispers.
"I missed you too."
"I wish you didn't have to go back."
Jess remains quiet.
Rory looks up at him with expectant eyes, maybe, she thinks he doesn't feel the same way.
'Maybe I don't have to." Jess says gruffly.
Rory's jaw falls open, "What?"
"Luke said I could come back when ever I wanted to."
Rory sits up excitedly, "You mean.......you're going to stay."
Jess nods, wiping a strand of hair out of Rory's eyes.
"Come on, lay back down." Jess says quietly. "It's too early."
Rory nods.
"I love you." Jess says staring into Rory's eyes.
"I love you too."
"Rory?"
"Yeah?" Rory asks, her vision becoming fuzzy.
"Let's get married." Jess says his voice getting distant.
"What?"
"Rory?"
"Jess of course I wi-" Rory says opening her eyes. Jess is no where to be found, "Jess?"
"Rory!"
Rory looks down at where moments ago Jess had been lying; in his place is a sheet of yellow paper.
"Jess?"
Rory picks up the paper, in big bold cursive it reads, "Goodbye."
"No," Rory whimpers.
"You have to." Jess' voice morphs into Lorelai's
"Noooo."
"Rory, you have to get up."
Rory sits up violently.
"Where's jess?" She asks.
"In California......." Lorelai says cautiously. "Ror? You're sweating, are you feeling ok?"
Rory rubs her head, "Yeah, bad dream."
Lorelai nods, "Hey getting pretty close huh? Only 5 more days till the big anniversary."
"Oh, yeah."
"I still can't believe he's still around a year later."
Rory giggles uncomfortably, "Thanks."
"Well you better get ready babe, your first class starts in two hours.
Rory nods as Lorelai leaves.
Climbing out of bed Rory sighs, it has been two days since she's talked to Jess.
The phone rings.
Rory pounces on it, "Hello?"
"This is your wakeup call." Jess says snidely.
Rory smiles flopping back onto her bed "Haven't had one of those in a few days."
"I know, I'm sorry.........I had a really big test yesterday and I've been studying nonstop."
"Oh ok."
"But, I thought about you." Jess adds.
'That's what I like to hear." Rory grins.
"How could I not?"
Rory smiles, "5 more days."
"Ah yes, a milestone." Jess says with a smirk.
"I wish you were going to be here."
"Me too, I tried I really did I just don't have the money to come up."
Rory sighs, "I know."
"But when I do get there, I'll make up for it I promise."
"Hey!" An unfamiliar voice calls from jess' side of the phone.
"Hey, hold on a second." Jess says to Rory.
Rory starts to answer but stops as jess begins to talk to the voice, "Just give me a minute ok?"
"Who's that?"
"Cadence, I told you about her she lives next door." Jess says plainly.
"Oh right."
"So how's school? Jess asks.
"Good, Paris is driving me crazy, I can't believe she's in all my classes."
Jess laughs.
Rory smiles.
"What?" Jess mutters. He laughs, "Shut up."
"Jess?"
"Sorry." Jess replies.
"It's fine." Rory replies.
Cadence begins to speak in the background. Rory can tell that Jess is paying more attention to her than to his phone call.
Rory sighs.
"Ror? You ok?"
"Fine. Look I'm running late for class. I'll talk to you later ok?
"Ok. I love you."
"Yeah." Rory replies hanging up the phone.
'Ror, you're going to be late."
"I'm coming." Rory says heading for a dresser. She stops in front of her mirror; fingering the picture of her and jess; things had been different lately. The workload between them has grown, Jess has taken a job at his father's stand, and Rory was involved in several after-school activities. Not seeing Jess everyday is killing Rory. Recently her dreams of him had become so vivid, the last three nights however had ended horribly. Rory clutches her chest as an aching feeling in her heart commences. Things are becoming too much for Rory, not only is she heart sick but this was the 4th time she'd talked to Jess that that "Cadi" girl was in his room. Secretly it bothered Rory that another girl was sitting in Jess' room, she was happy at first when jess' told her he'd made a friend, but now she winces at her name. The thing that hits her the most is the way jess' voice changes when she's around, he sounds happier he laughs all the time and lately he's been less interested in conversing with Rory, or so she believes.
***California.
Jess lays back on his bed and grunts.
"What's your problem?" Cadence says sarcastically.
"I think she's mad at me."
"Now why would she be mad at you?"
"I don't know......I think she's just frustrated with school."
Cadence scoffs.
Jess lifts his head up, "What?"
"You really think that's what it is?"
"Well if it's not I don't know what's going on."
"God, you really are like the rest of your kind, clueless." Cadence retorts.
"Ok, then; tell me why Rory's mad at me."
"Maybe because you haven't called her in two days."
"I was studying, she nags me all the time about studying she should be happy that I'm doing it."
"Yeah, but it sounds like a lie."
"But it's not."
"Do you think she knows that.........she's thousands of miles away Jess."
"That's not it though," Jess replies.
'Ok." Cadence says sliding off of jess' desk, "Maybe it has something to do with me being in your room at 8:30 in the morning?"
"You think?"
"I know if I were her, I'd hate me too."
"She doesn't hate you."
"Yes she does, I'm the girl sitting in the room of her boyfriend who's all the way on the other side of the country where she can't see him everyday."
"And how do you come up with all this?"
"Psychology major, hello."
"Well what do you suppose I do?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"Believe me when she gets her anniversary present she'll forget all about why she's mad at you."
'Think so?"
"I do."
Jess grins, "Ok well I'm going to go shower, I have class at 10."
Cadence nods, "Ok."
"You're going be here when I get back out?"
"Yep."
"Great." Jess whips around before he exits, "You really think she'll forget about this?"
"Yep she'll forget all about the girl hanging out in your bedroom........"
Jess grins, leaving.
".........And so will you." Cadence mutters.
*Saturday morning, Rory is sitting in her room extremely grumpy.
She is on her bed looking through the pictures of her and jess, it is 11am and jess has yet to call. Rory sighs with contempt.
"Mom!" Rory calls.
"Yeah sweets?"
"Lets do it."
"Huh?"
Rory rolls her eyes, "What have we been threatening to do for months now?"
"Oh my God, you want to cut your hair?"
Rory nods.
"Let's go before you change your mind." Lorelai grabs Rory by the arm and drags her out.
*A half hour later, Rory is sitting in a chair at the hairdresser.
"So you want what like an inch of?"
Rory shakes her head, "Up to the shoulders."
"You sure dawl?"
"Hon, that's a lot of hair to take off on the first visit."
Rory looks determinedly at her mother, "No, it has to go it's weighing me down."
"Alright, here we go."
*15 minutes later:
"There you go, some of the best work I've ever done." The hairdresser spins the chair around happily. "Look!"
Rory gapes into the mirror, "Oh my God!" She shrieks.
"Babe that's what you said you wanted."
"I know." Rory whimpers. "But it's really gone." Rory continues pulling at the ends of her hair.
"You look great honey."
"I need air." Rory replies tightening her lips.
"Alright, I'll meet you outside." Lorelai replies.
*5 minutes later Lorelai exits.
"Ok, so what's really going on here?"
Rory sighs, "Nothing."
"Forget who you're talking to?"
"No......it's just it's Saturday."
"I know, so?.........oh!" Lorelai says, "Sweets I'm sorry I forgot."
"Apparently so did he, he never even called."
"I'm sure he was busy studying, or working.
Rory shakes her head, "No he was probably out with his best friend Cadi." She sneers.
"I think you need a good ol' juicy Luke's burger to calm you down."
Rory sighs.
"Come on, what do you say? You can take really big bites and pretend it's that girls head?"
A smile plays at the corner of Rory's mouth.
"That's what I thought." Lorelai grins. She smacks Rory on the arm, last one to Luke's buys!" She screams before speeding down the street.
"No fair!" Rory calls to her close on her mother's heels.
*5 minutes later:
"Why did we think we could run?" Lorelai huffs, stopping abruptly
"We were 7 blocks away, we must have been crazy." Rory adds, leaning on her mother.
"Yeah, I don't care how good Luke's burgers are, I think I'm going to have a heart attack right now." Lorelai replies looking left to right.
Rory nods "Think I'll join you."
Lorelai grins.
"We'll never run this much again." She says.
"Nothing is worth getting that excited." Rory replies exhaling heavily.
"Except maybe that." Lorelai points ahead of them.
Rory looks up as shadowed figure comes into view.
Breathing heavily, Rory begins to shake.
"Well, don't you think you should go say hi?" Lorelai asks.
Rory nods, but doesn't move.
Lorelai shoves Rory forward.
Rory stumbles as Jess approaches her.
"Rory."
"Jess." Rory breathes
Jess holds his arms out, "I haven't seen you in so long."
Rory walks into Jess' arms, "too long." She whispers.
Jess wraps his arms around Rory's frame, scratching her back affectionately.
Rory rests her head on Jess' shoulder.
Jess squeezes Rory tenderly, lifting her slightly off of the ground.
Lorelai watches them happily, her eyes misting at the sappy Romantic movie playing in front of her.
Jess pulls back, taking in Rory's appearance, "Your hair, you cut it."
Rory nods, "I went a little insane today."
Jess smiles, "I like it."
"I thought you forgot."
"Not possible."
Rory takes a step back, "Did you come because of me hanging up on you?"
Jess smiles, "No, I came because I wanted to."
"I thought you couldn't afford it."
Jess smirks, "I lied."
Rory moans in her sleep, rolling over, as she cuddles into her blankets she feels a pair of eyes on her. A smile creeps onto her face; Rory opens her eyes.
"Hey," Jess' rough voice whispers.
"How long have you been awake?" Rory asks.
"Not long," Jess lies.
Rory kisses him square on the lips, her cold hands resting against his jaw.
Jess takes her hands and rubs them together, "Cold hands."
Rory giggles.
Jess pulls Rory closer, wrapping his arm around her.
"This seems familiar." Rory says.
"Excuse me?" jess asks, "Feel like elaborating?"
Rory blushes, "I think I had a dream like this once."
Jess grins, "Must have been a good dream."
Rory nods, "Hey where's Luke?"
"Not here, thank God." Jess retorts.
Rory laughs hollowly, "Jess."
"He told me he'd be back later, it's fine he's not going to----"
"Jess."
"Rory, he's a grown man. He can spend the night anywhere with anyone he wants to."
"I know it's just......" Rory trails off sadly.
Jess kisses Rory's forehead, "Come on enough about Luke and he's woman of the week."
Rory sighs,
"You have no idea how much I missed you." Jess says hugging Rory close.
"Then why'd you stop calling?" She asks sitting up.
"It got to be too hard, I mean I'm there you're here and for a while I just couldn't, the sound of your voice it killed me because I wanted to be here so bad but I couldn't be." Jess says passionately, meaning every word.
Rory's eyes tear, "But what about Cadi?"
Jess laughs, "What about her, she lives next store; comes and visits me sometimes."
"Do you like her?"
"She's cool, but she's not you." Jess says quietly, staring hard at Rory.
Rory smiles, "I'm being stupid I know."
"You stupid, never." Jess replies, pulling Rory back down.
Rory lands on top of Jess' chest.
Jess grabs her by the wrists, kissing her fingers.
"Mmm." Rory moans.
"I love you." Jess says.
" I love you too."
Rory closes her eyes.
Jess lifts Rory off of him, placing her carefully besides him.
"I wish you didn't have to go back."
Rory's heart beats faster, Jess isn't answering Oh no, she thinks, this is the part where I wake up.
"Rory?"
Rory reluctantly opens her eyes.
Jess is staring at her.
"You're still here." She whispers.
"Yeah, what'd you think, I'd bail?"
"No it's just,"
Jess grins at her."
"Never mind" she laughs.
Jess rolls towards her playfully.
Rory's laughter grows louder.
Jess' kisses her, "I wish I could stay too........but I'll be back Sam, I promise."
Rory smiles faintly, "I believe you, Diane."
"And look I'm here until next week, it's not like I'm leaving now."
"You're right....." Rory smirks. "And it's 7am, my mom won't be awake for another 2 hours......"
"And Luke would be crazy to come back before 12......" Jess smirks back at her."
Rory kisses Jess passionately.
He wraps his arms around her, deepening their kiss.
Meanwhile:
"I can't sleep any more."
Luke grunts.
The woman on his left giggles.
"It's early." He says gruffly.
"So....."
"So I thought you didn't function properly before 9am."
"Things change." The woman says happily, placing and hand on Luke's chest.
"Yes they do." Luke grins.
"Scary."
"What?"
"You, you're happy?"
"Do you want me to be unhappy, I could do that too." Luke says playfully.
"I can't believe you lost the baseball cap for me, I feel special."
"Don't get used to it."
"Ok I won't."
Luke smiles, "Coffee?"
"No."
"I thought you couldn't sleep another minute, isn't it written law that you have to have coffee the second you get out of bed?"
"I said I couldn't sleep anymore, I didn't say I was ready to get out of bed yet."
"Oh......ok." Luke says moving to get up himself.
The woman pulls him back, "I didn't say you were ready either." She smirks at Luke.
"Oh! Sorry."
"You should be." The woman says. "Hey you kno-" The woman is cut off by Luke kissing her passionately, pinning her against the bed.
Lorelai pulls out of the kiss, "But you----"
"Damnit, don't you ever shut up, Lorelai?"
"Nope, I don't think it's possible if I were to shut my mouth I would surely die." Lorelai says daintily, drumming her fingers against Luke's bare back.
"I think I could change that."
"How are y---" Lorelai Gilmore never finishes, her words lost at sea as Luke Dane's lips crash into hers
A/N That's it for now, it's homework time anyway happy trails too all have a good week. Read and review if you love me.
Rory moans in her sleep, rolling over, as she cuddles into her blankets she feels a pair of eyes on her. A smile creeps onto her face; Rory opens her eyes.
"Hey," Jess' rough voice whispers.
"How long have you been awake?" Rory asks.

Rory's jaw falls open, "What?"
"Luke said I could come back when ever I wanted to."
Rory sits up excitedly, "You mean.......you're going to stay."
Jess nods, wiping a strand of hair out of Rory's eyes.
"Come on, lay back down." Jess says quietly. "It's too early."
Rory nods.
"I love you." Jess says staring into Rory's eyes.
"I love you too."
"Rory?"
"Yeah?" Rory asks, her vision becoming fuzzy.
"Let's get married." Jess says his voice getting distant.
"What?"
"Rory?"
"Jess of course I wi-" Rory says opening her eyes. Jess is no where to be found, "Jess?"
"Rory!"
Rory looks down at where moments ago Jess had been lying; in his place is a sheet of yellow paper.
"Jess?"
Rory picks up the paper, in big bold cursive it reads, "Goodbye."
"No," Rory whimpers.
"You have to." Jess' voice morphs into Lorelai's
"Noooo."
"Rory, you have to get up."
Rory sits up violently.
"Where's jess?" She asks.
"In California......." Lorelai says cautiously. "Ror? You're sweating, are you feeling ok?"
Rory rubs her head, "Yeah, bad dream."
Lorelai nods, "Hey getting pretty close huh? Only 5 more days till the big anniversary."
"Oh, yeah."
"I still can't believe he's still around a year later."
Rory giggles uncomfortably, "Thanks."
"Well you better get ready babe, your first class starts in two hours.
Rory nods as Lorelai leaves.

"But, I thought about you." Jess adds.
'That's what I like to hear." Rory grins.
"How could I not?"
Rory smiles, "5 more days."
"Ah yes, a milestone." Jess says with a smirk.
"I wish you were going to be here."

Rory's heart beats faster, Jess isn't answering Oh no, she thinks, this is the part where I wake up.
"Rory?"
Rory reluctantly opens her eyes.
Jess is staring at her.
"You're still here." She whispers.
"Yeah, what'd you think, I'd bail?"
"No it's just,"
Jess grins at her."
"Never mind" she laughs.
Jess rolls towards her playfully.
Rory's laughter grows louder.
Jess' kisses her, "I wish I could stay too........but I'll be back Sam, I promise."
Rory smiles faintly, "I believe you, Diane."
"And look I'm here until next week, it's not like I'm leaving now."
"You're right....." Rory smirks. "And it's 7am, my mom won't be awake for another 2 hours......"
"And Luke would be crazy to come back before 12......" Jess smirks back at her."
Rory kisses Jess passionately.
He wraps his arms around her, deepening their kiss.
Meanwhile:
"I can't sleep any more."
Luke grunts.
The woman on his left giggles.
"It's early." He says gruffly.
"So....."
"So I thought you didn't function properly before 9am."
"Things change." The woman says happily, placing and hand on Luke's chest.
"Yes they do." Luke grins.
"Scary."
"What?"
"You, you're happy?"
"Do you want me to be unhappy, I could do that too." Luke says playfully.
"I can't believe you lost the baseball cap for me, I feel special."
"Don't get used to it."
"Ok I won't."
Luke smiles, "Coffee?"
"No."
"I thought you couldn't sleep another minute, isn't it written law that you have to have coffee the second you get out of bed?"
"I said I couldn't sleep anymore, I didn't say I was ready to get out of bed yet."
"Oh......ok." Luke says moving to get up himself.
The woman pulls him back, "I didn't say you were ready either." She smirks at Luke.
"Oh! Sorry."
"You should be." The woman says. "Hey you kno-" The woman is cut off by Luke kissing her passionately, pinning her against the bed.
Lorelai pulls out of the kiss, "But you----"
"Damnit, don't you ever shut up, Lorelai?"
"Nope, I don't think it's possible if I were to shut my mouth I would surely die." Lorelai says daintily, drumming her fingers against Luke's bare back.
"I think I could change that."
"How are y---" Lorelai Gilmore never finishes, her words lost at sea as Luke Dane's lips crash into hers
