Chapter 6: Sleep On It
A very short chapter.
Jess left the bridge a half hour after Rory, which was at 11:30. They always got so
caught up in their discussions that they lost track of time. Thankfully Rory, always being
Rory set her watch to go off when she had to leave. Jess was so awake and alive he
really didn't want to go back to the diner. But he knew if he didn't get back soon Luke
would probably send out a search party, or worse, restrict him to work and school. He
wasn't worried about seeing Rory, she and her mom were always in the diner, but he
hated being told where he could and could not be. Despite his internal disputes, he went
back to the diner. He went in quietly in case Luke was already asleep and laid on his bed.
He tried reading but his mind wouldn't concentrate on the words written on the page,
they kept going back to Rory. He finally decided to try sleeping. He stuck his hands in
his pockets to empty them and his right retrieved the small blue piece of paper. He
smiled to himself, like he had his own secret with Rory. He picked up his book and
placed the sheet in between the pages as a bookmark. He knew that every time he read,
she would be the first thing he thought of when he removed the marker. He liked that
idea. He finished changing and he went to sleep with changing and he went to sleep with
fresh memories of Rory's face and the sound of her voice still ringing in his ears.

Rory got home at 11:35. Her mom was already asleep but she decided to keep what
happened tonight to her self. At least until they officially got together. She wasn't sure
what Lorelei's reaction about the whole thing would be anyway. She had said that she
would give Jess a chance, but not as her boyfriend. Rory knew Lorelei only wanted the
best for her, but above all else, she wanted her daughter to be happy.
