Sitting in my room, I was waiting for Jess to arrive. I was already dressed and ready, partly because I was extremely nervous. Still having not told my mom, guilt was starting to overcome me. I felt like I was lying to her, because mainly I was. Shoving Jess in my closet couldn't have made it any better. But tonight, I was going to enjoy it and not let anything or anyone else get in my way. I was going to clear my head of all my other problems, and just focus on Jess. I have begun to find that Jess was everything I had ever wanted in a guy, but I was just too blind to see it before. I felt that I loved him, and nothing was going to change that. There was such an unexplainable feeling that rushed into my body whenever he came near me. It felt like heat and it was like he was controlling it. He needed to know how I felt. One minute later, I heard a knock at the door. I let out my breath, checked my appearance in the mirror and went to the door. Opening it, there was Jess with a mischievous smile on his face. In his hands were two large bags full of Chinese takeout, and four cups of coffee. I smiled at him.
Rory: Hey.
Jess: (walks in) Hello.
Rory: You can put that stuff on the table over there.
Jess: Okay. (Puts the food on the table) But I need a minute to do some things. So go in your room okay?
Rory: (rolls her eyes) Sure.

Once Jess said it was okay to come out I stepped out of the door, and I saw that the room was covered with candles. Placed on the table were fancy silverware and two long candles. I gasped and put my hands over my mouth.
Rory: Wow. Jess this is incredible.
Jess: (laughs) I knew you would say that. (Walks over to Rory and takes her hand) Right this way Miss Gilmore.
Rory: (sits down) Thank you kind sir.
(They both have sat down and begun eating. So naturally they began to talk.)
Rory: So thank you for bringing all this stuff over here. It's incredible.
Jess: Well I knew you'd like it.
Rory: (clears her throat) So there's been something I've been meaning to tell you..
Jess: Yeah? What's that?
Rory: Well-
(Just as Rory was about to go on, the dorm door swings open and Lorelai comes strolling in with two bags of Chinese takeout in her hands. She obviously is very surprised and cannot even speak.)
Rory: Mom! What are you doing here?
Lorelai: (covers her eyes) I...Uh.. I thought we could hang out. But your obviously busy.
Rory: Why are you covering your eyes?
Lorelai: Well I thought you were going to have a private moment or something.
Rory: Gross!
Lorelai: So uh..you two are dating?
Rory: Well, that's what we were just going to talk about.
Lorelai: Oh, well go on. (Lorelai takes a seat on the couch and starts to open the bags of Chinese.)
Rory: (Rory looks at Jess and mouths sorry to him)
Jess: (nods his head)
Rory: Jess, I think you should go.
Jess: (Looks surprised) What?
Rory: I think it would be best.
Jess: Rory, I just got here. I'm not leaving. Even if I was, it would be with you.
Lorelai: (snorts)
(Rory and Jess look over)
Lorelai: Sorry.
Rory: Jess-
Jess: I came here to talk with you. This was going to be romantic and special.
Rory: Well, my mom's here and it's just awkward.
Jess: (Walks over to Lorelai) Hi Lorelai. How are you? I'm good. Rory and I were going to have a talk about our relationship. It would be deeply appreciated if you could come back in about an hour.
Rory: (widens her eyes) Jess!
Jess: Well somebody had to do it.
Lorelai: (Gathers her things) No it's okay. I know when I've worn out my welcome.
Rory: Mom you don't have to-
Lorelai: Rory it's fine. But tomorrow you'll see me bright and early knocking at your door. We have some talking to do.
Rory: Okay.
(Lorelai leaves.)
Rory: I would say that was a little rude Jess.
Jess: It's in my nature. I couldn't help it. (Walks up to Rory and hugs her.) I just thought we could have a nice romantic night. No interruptions.
Rory: (Blushes) I guess I could forgive you.
Jess: (chuckles) Good. Now what did you want to talk about?
Rory: (couldn't say I love you so instead she says) Would you like to be my gentleman caller?
Jess: (looks at her with a hint of amusement in his eyes) Well, I'll have to check my little black book, but I think we can arrange that.
(Their lips come closer and closer together as their lips crash into each others with all the frustration and emotions flooding out of them into one another. It was so passionate neither one of them could stop. But finally, they pull apart from one another completely breathless.)
Rory:(smiles) So, I guess you're my boyfriend.
Jess: I guess so.
Rory: (silence)
Jess: Lets go for a walk huh?
Rory: Sure.
(They both walk out of the dorm with a feeling that they belonged together. That no one else could come between them. Neither one knew the ripples that life would throw at them.)
Rory: Hey.
Jess: (walks in) Hello.
Rory: You can put that stuff on the table over there.
Jess: Okay. (Puts the food on the table) But I need a minute to do some things. So go in your room okay?
