"Damn," Jess moaned hoarsely. He felt her undo his jeans and pull them down to reveal him in all his aroused glory.

A thump on the door startled Rory out of her aroused stupor. She fell back on her butt and couldn't believe what she'd been about to do. Especially to some guy whose name she didn't even know.

"Open the door," someone yelled through the door.

Rory sat on her butt, and ran her hands through her disheveled hair, trying to piece together the events that had led from her locking the door to making out with some guy, whose name she didn't even know.

She hurriedly fastened the buttons on her shirt. "I've got to go." She got up, unlocked the door, and ran out. Leaving Jess alone.

**

"Hey buddy," Adam slurred drunkenly. He felt onto the ground and passed out.

"Damn it, why would she just leave?" Jess punched the wall in anger. He didn't even know her name. What'd an idiot he'd been. He stormed out of the laundry room and walked out onto the terrace.

I will find you, he vowed silently. He stared out at the water as the waves crashed on the beach. The moonlight pooled a opalescent path down the center of the ocean.

Jess threw his head back and looked at the stars. You will be mine again.

**

Rory jumped into her car, and threw into drive and pealed out of the driveway as fast she could drive.

She'd been more intimate with this guy than she had with any guy. She didn't even know his name. She roared down the circular driveway and down the hill and back onto the coastal highway. She was going back to Stars Hollow.

She could only thank god that he didn't go to Chilton, she knew all of Adam's friends and she knew that that guy was a total stranger.

She sped off down the highway into the dark night.

**

She sucked absently on a Hershey's chocolate, her mind noting the sweet rich flavor. Kissing that mystery guy had been like that. Sweet, forbidden and damn hot. She reveled in the fantasy, at least she knew that there was nothing wrong with her.

When she'd tried making out with Dean the next night, there'd been nothing there. It'd been like making out with a brother-type. Like kissing a squid.

Rory unwrapped another chocolate, and perused its simplistic shape. So small, yet so guilty of causing such decadent pleasures. Hell, just unwrapping 'him' had been a pleasure unto itself. She closed her eyes in succulent memory.

Sitting in Luke's diner, on a sunny December afternoon was a common occurrence for Rory Gilmore. Seeing her mother and Luke kissing was not.

They'd just been a couple for over two months now. Rory had to say, it was about time.

**

"Ever since she came back from her grandparents for the weekend, she's been acting odd, she won't talk about it," Lorelai worried aloud to Luke.

"She's almost 18, if there's something she wants to talk about, she'll talk. Rory's a very level-headed girl, which is more than I can say for nephew," Luke surmised.

"Your nephew, whose that?" Lorelai inquired, guzzling her coffee down. "More," she put her cup under his nose. "Please Luke, I need more to survive."

Luke reluctantly poured her more coffee. "My nephew is coming to stay with me for the weekend, his mom is going to Los Angeles with her husband on a business trip. Besides, he hasn't seen me in a long time. He lives in Hartford, and goes to Chilton, this is his senior year."

"Maybe Rory knows him, what's his name?" Lorelai asked.

"Jess Mariano."

"Rory, do you know a guy from Chilton named Jess Mariano?"

Rory thought about it, and no face came to mind. "Nope." "Should I?"

"He's Luke's nephew, he's coming to stay here for the weekend, so you two will meet."

Rory walked over to Luke. "What's he look like?"

"Well I haven't seen him in about three years, but last I remember, he had dark brown hair, blue eyes, he was only fourteen at the time. I'm sure he's changed a lot. I do know that he drives a motorcycle, his mom, my sister, Liz. Says he's a real rebel."

"When does he arrive?" Rory asked casually.

"Tomorrow, stays until Monday, then back home."

"Interesting, well I've got to be going," Rory walked out of the diner, and climbed into her Ruby-red Fiat, and roared off down the road.

**

"What'd you mean you're packing me off for the weekend?" Jess yelled at his dad.

"Look, it's not that we don't trust you, it's just that after you got placed on academic probation, we've decided to send you to Stars Hollow for the weekend, so you can think about what you've done," Drake Mariano replied.

"Dad, come on," Jess pleaded.

"It's time you grew up, and applied yourself, it's going to be hard enough to get you into Harvard Law School, if you don't get your grades up," his dad intoned.

"I don't want to go to Law School, I want to go to Yale," Jess yelled, slamming the door behind him. He got on his motorcycle, floored it and roared down the driveway

**

"Rory, honey, have you sent your application into Harvard yet?" Lorelai poked her head in her daughter's bedroom door.

"Yeah, mom I did it last week, and I applied to other placed as back- ups," she said the last bit in a whispery voice.

"Where else?" Lorelai intoned.

"Yale, Princeton, and a few others," Rory said.

"Why Yale, just what my father wants, to live his dream through you because he couldn't live it through me," Lorelai groaned.

"Not everything revolves around Grandma and Grandpa trying to dominate your life," Rory yelled. She looked stunned by what she'd just said. She grabbed her jacket, pushed past her mom and ran outside.

Lorelai heard the Fiat roar to life, and listened as her daughter pealed down the road. She was shocked by what Rory had just yelled at her.

**

"Great to see you again, Jess, wow, you've changed a lot," Luke commented.

"Yeah, whatever, where I am staying?" Jess asked.

Luke walked through the diner and up the stairs and into a crowded apartment, he showed Jess a tiny bedroom off the kitchen.

"Quaint," Jess remarked sarcastically.

"I'll be downstairs, you can join me if you want," Luke said quietly.

"Paradise," Jess fell back onto the single bed.

**

Rory raced into the diner, "Luke could I get some coffee to go?" she clenched her hands and kept fidgeting.

"Is something wrong Rory?" Luke looked concerned.

"No, I just need to go, could I please have the coffee," she asked again.

"Sure." He poured some coffee into two cups. "If you wait here, I have some trays in the back." Luke walked back into the kitchen.

Rory turned around to make sure her mom was coming into the diner or down the road. She felt a tingling sensation at the back of her neck. She turned around and saw a tall dark guy standing on the bottom of Luke's stairway.

She narrowed her eyes. Nope, she didn't know him, and yet she did from somewhere. This must be Luke's nephew. "Do I know you?" she asked him.

"I'm Jess Mariano, Luke's nephew, and you are?" he asked her.

"Rory Gilmore, I go to Chilton," she said.

Jess moved closer to her. He narrowed his eyes, I know her from somewhere. He slowly reached out and touched her on the arm. He felt the electricity spark from him to her. The girl from Adam's party.

"It's you, you were the girl at Adam's party," Jess said.

Rory froze, this was the guy from the laundry room. He was Luke's nephew, and he went to Chilton. He was here in Stars Hollow, and he- he--- She turned and ran out the door and to her car. She started the car and floored it out down the road.

Jess grabbed his keys and ran to his motorcycle, he put on his helmet, pumped the throttle and flew after her down the road.

**

Luke had just come out of the back, when he saw Jess reach out and touch Rory. He was too far away to see what Jess said to her. Whatever he'd said, had shocked Rory. She turned and ran out of the diner and to her car and pealed out of there. Jess had followed her, both like bats out of hell.

Lorelai stormed into the diner, "Care to explain what the hell that was? Who was that guy chasing Rory?"

"That was my nephew, Jess, I don't know what happened between them, but it scared Rory and she bolted and Jess followed her. I don't know," Luke shook his head.

Lorelai stared out the window, wondering what was going on with her daughter, that she couldn't even tell her own mother.
