A/N: Here we go again :) Thanks for the reviews. I know Jess is a bit OOC, but hey, he isn't the same he used to be!

It was Wednesday morning. She had received the letter from Jess on Friday and she had spent weekend in Stars Hollow, speaking with her mother about Jess. Sure he seemed to miss her; yes he had told he loved her but still. Was that still enough? Lorelai surprisingly said it was. Lorelai believed that Jess had grown up.

Rory was driving to work. Still she hadn't decided if she was going to meet Jess or not. The concert tickets were for Thursday and she already had taken day off to go there. After all, preparing to that kind of event wasn't easy, picking the right clothes wasn't the easiest possible thing…

She walked in her office and put her coat on the coat hanger and to a closet. The cd-covers, The Blue Eyes cd-covers,were laying there on her desk. The cd was in the player. She walked to it and clicked play. The music playing on the background she started to write her next column.

I want you

After midnight Im walking home alone
the lights of suburb have left behind
I try to listen to my broken heart
fallen silent long ago and Im about to lose my faith again

I´ve been trying to find an innocent love
my path has been hiding far too long
where are you know when I need you the most
I see your shadow you must be close


(chorus)

Where are you now
In me dreams I see your eyes so blue and bright
My emotions I cant fight
I want you
So Where are you now
Im just too steps behind yet I cant find you
If love isnt a crime
I want you

Today feels like yesterday
Im so lost I cant find my way
Looking the mirrow I can´t see my face
Somehow I know you must feel the same
why are you about to lose your faith again

Lets turn the lights on to this empty stage

aflame with desire we are born again

I close my eyes, wont you be mine
holding your hand though Im all alone

Somewhere there must be a place where we
are allowed to breath
As time stands still Well make it real

----

Angels cry

From day to day I hear your words begging me to stay

Blinded by the rain, I cant look out...not today

My heart is tied to the tears I love, Ill seize the end

Colour my feelings gray and pale, we will meet again

(Chorus)

I want to fall away, theres nothing left to say

I need a place to hide, show me where angels cry

I want to fall away, there s nothing to explain

I want to touch the sky, show me where angels cry

I know Im wrong, but Im crawling back for more

I know Im wrong but I cant resist the taste of a broken heart

Youve seen me before youve senn me cry, so lost inside

Out lust for life tastes like wine...silent signs

After all the days are gone, waiting fo the dawn

Whispering voices command me to fall, again its you my love...

How can I miss you

you were right, i was wrong

it doesn't mean, i want you gone

takin' it easy, just hangin' out

even when i'm happy, seems that you're in doubt

well, it's all about communication

so, i say this for your information

just because i like you, don't mean i need you

you don't have to be here every day

just because i'm with you, don't mean i have to

i don't wanna diss you

but how can i miss you

when you never go away

can get too much of something good

you always call me, cause you think you should

just relax and let it be

i'll come around, eventually

let's make certain what is fact or fiction

though it may sound like a contradiction

just because i like you...

i don't need a long vacation

but, now and then, just pass my station

how i wish you understood

that i don't wanna diss you

i just wanna miss you

just because i like you...

Suddenly Rory noticed it was already 5.15 pm and she still hadn't decided whether to go or not. The cd-store wasn't that far away from her office but that wasn't the thing. She wasn't sure if she should meet him. There is a reason why she wasn't dating anyone at the moment. There is a reason why she hasn't really even been dating in the past five years. She just wasn't able to do that, because of Jess.

It was ten of six when Jess stepped in to that cd-store. He was praying and wishing that Rory would arrive. He had been nervous all day. He had no idea if Rory was coming or not.

Rory was walking towards the cd-store. She wasn't really sure was meeting Jess the best possible thing to do. Was she ready to meet him? What would she say? She knew she still loved Jess. But Jess didn't know that. And Rory, to tell the truth, didn't even know if she wanted Jess to know that. Rory wasn't sure if it was just better to be without him. As she entered the cd-store she immediately noticed Jess. He was facing the wall and didn't notice her come. She walked towards him and stopped right behind him.

Jess knew immediately when Rory stepped in the store. The air had changed. He felt her moving towards him, finally stopping right behind him. He had been planning what to say to her, but now it felt like he didn't remember anything what he had planned. But still he turned around.

"Hi." It was Rory who said that. She was the one to take the first step.

"Hi."

They pretty much were just standing there. Not knowing what to say. Rory thought Jess hadn't really changed during the time away, outside that is. To hear him singing and then reading the lyrics he had written showed totally different side of him to her. Jess standing in front of her wearing black t-shirt and blackish jeans. Jess didn't believe his eyes when he saw her. She was so beautiful. Her hair was pretty much as long as it was when he had seen her last time. Normal but still fashionable skirt and blouse were the clothes she was wearing.

"Um.. You wanna go and have coffee?" Jess asked. That probably was the best thing to do.

"Yeah. There's a coffee place not far from here."

They walked silently to the coffee place. Walking side by side, hands almost, not quite, touching. They both ordered a cup of coffee and sat down.

"I was surprised to hear from you. More surprised to hear you sing."

"Uhh. Yeah. Well. It just fit me well."

"That it did. I love your songs. You're talented Jess."

"Thanks. It means lot to me."

"Thanks to you to."

"Why?"

"For dedicating those songs to me."

"Oh. Well. Why wouldn't I."

"Why did you?"

"Because you are the thing I've been thinking about every day, every night, every hour and minute. You're on my mind 24/7", Jess said looking deep into Rory's eyes taking a hold of her hands as well. "I have missed you so much. What I wrote is true. I love you Rory."

Tears were flowing freely down Rory's face. Yes she had read those words on his letter, but hearing them.

"I love you Rory, I really do." He said again and rose up and took her to his embrace.

"I love you" he whispered to her ear and hugged her.

"I love you too Jess." Rory said and took a step away from him. Jess stared to her eyes as Rory stared to his. Slowly their lips met. Kiss full of passion, full of tenderness, full of love.

A/n: Sorry it took a while to write another chapter. More is to come. The concert is coming next. Thanks for reviewing, I'd be really glad if you do that again (it's so simple, only click that GO-button.) N-G
