Previously in "I am the Tower Around Which You Orbited: I just can't look, it's killing me…"

Jess overheard Rory telling Lane about how she feels about Jess. After Lane and Luke both leave the diner, they make out on the floor, ridding them of Rory's pesky bra when Dean walks in. Dean tries to figure what the hell was happening before Jess came to serve him, and Jess confides in Luke for the first time. Jess is going to go to the Lorelais' house in this chapter.

Chapter Five: Date with the Night

I knocked on the door of their house, standing on their wrap-around porch. I could hear the Clash inside, meaning that Rory and Lorelai were getting ready for the movie night. Rory came to the door before I could knock again, and opened it.

She pushed up to greet me with a kiss, which I happily reciprocated. Then Lorelai appeared beside Rory, feigning happiness to see me. For some reason, I doubted that she knew about the floor incident.

"Can I come in?"

"No, we were just going to let you stand out there and watch the movie from the porch. Come on." Rory stepped aside, but Lorelai did not want me inside. She moved stiffly after a look from Rory.

"I'll go turn off the music," Lorelai said, looking to busy herself with something so that she wouldn't have to talk to me. Rory took my hand and pulled me inside, closing the door.

"Lorelai doesn't want me here."

"She didn't get Kill Bill…"

"Okay then."

"Uhm, its going to be a while so I can give you a better tour of the house than you've ever had before."

"That's okay. But thanks." Lorelai was busying herself in the kitchen, completely forgetting to turn the Clash off. I pulled Rory back behind the wall in the little entrance hall and she greeted me with a passionate kiss, pulling close to me, her hands on my upper back. I could feel her heartbeat in her chest.

"What was that for?"

"For being you."

The movie was bad (the original Salem's Lot), but the company wasn't. In fact, Rory kept Lorelai as far away from me as possible. Once it was over, Lorelai said a happy goodnight, and Rory offered to walk me home. Lorelai gave in, even though we all knew I didn't need an escort.

"Sorry about that."

"It wasn't all bad."

"Okay then." She had her arm intertwined with mine, her head on my shoulder, as we walked through Star's Hollow back to the diner. I kissed the top of her head.

Reaching the steps of the diner, I noticed that it was pretty much empty. I tried the door, but it as locked. Apparently Luke was out. I pulled keys out of my pocket and unlocked the door, coming in quietly just in case Luke was already asleep.

"Come inside, Rory."

"But… what about Luke?"

"Luke is Luke. What about him?"

"Clearly, he locked it for a reason. He never closes early when you're out with me."

"Come on." She stepped inside and took my outstretched hand, as I led her upstairs. I opened the apartment door, and told her quietly to wait right there while I checked if Luke was in.

He wasn't.

I stepped out of the apartment and took Rory's hands in my own, kissing her squarely on the mouth. Our fingers laced together as she returned the kiss. I backed in to the room, and she followed, never parting from each other. We turned and I closed the door with my foot. She pulled her hands from me and put them at the small of my back. I put my hands at the back of her head pulling her in close to me.

She wrapped her arms around me tighter, so that our bodies were practically one. I knew it wasn't going to happen like this, and I was disappointed, but I couldn't change it. She backed toward my bed, where se sat, still kissing me. I put my hands on her shoulders and she put her fingers through two of my belt loops, pulling me down on top of her.

She lay underneath me as she slid her hands up my shirt. I touched her face, neck, anything that was bare I ran my hands over. I wanted this so badly. But Rory wouldn't want it to happen like this.

Once again, her leg rubbed up against mine, as if it was a call for some more attention from my body. My hands went down to her belt buckle without my telling them to do so and she immediately tensed. I stopped.

"Not tonight," she said.

"Not tonight."

She rolled out from under me and gave me another kiss before departing, leaving me to my empty bed and my thoughts. She knew that she'd be the only thing I'd be able to think about.

THE END of chapter five

so, I lied, I did five chapters in one day. but that's it for today. comment. also, coming up soon, some Jess/Lorelai scenes, some Jess/Dean scenes, some Luke/Lorelai/Jess scenes and of course, some Rory/Jess scenes. this is the first that is split up in to two different time slots, but that's mainly because I didn't want to go into the movie night thing because it was turning too much into a "Kiss and Tell" moment, and I'm trying to go for Jess, not Dean. Jess was being too Deanlike in this one, which annoys me, until they get to the apartment. which doesn't annoy me. I would've had them do it right then and there, but I refrained to keep the story up and because Lorelai, would obviously notice that Rory was gone, and Luke would have to come back eventually. so, if you're on edge, just wait around and you'll see some new stuff.
