Note: Thanks everyone for your reviews, they rock. Well someone wanted to know about the history, well Rory and Dean didn't get back together at the end of the season 1 final, and Rory and Jess only just got together in the previous chapter they hadn't been dating before that, but both sort of liked each other.
I know this story is kind of silly, but its just cute Rory and Jess stuff with a bit of music thrown in there, its fun to write and I hope you like reading it :)
Luv Hayls.
Where we left off…
"I guess I know what 'wow' that was now" she said smiling.
"What?" Jess asked confused. Rory gave him a mischievous grin before leaning up and kissing him passionately again, both of them smiling into the kiss.
Let the next chapter begin…
Chapter 3 – Discovering something new
After a few more minutes of kissing Rory pulled back smiling happily at Jess. She traced the line of his jaw with her hand.
"You busy tomorrow?" she asked, his hands swinging her hips gently from side to side.
"I have to work in the morning but after that I'm free" he said pulling her in closer.
"Good. You wanna come over?"
"Yeah…"
"Good" she kissed him again quickly on the lips and then turned and walked back towards the piano. He watched as she put her shoes on and then stood back up to face him.
"Oh and be sure to bring John" she said walking towards the door.
"John?" Jess asked confused, he looked around the room.
"You named my guitar John?" he asked
She just smiled at him at him before walking out, leaving a slightly confused but happy Jess behind.
Rory reached the jeep just as her mother came out of Luke's. Rory tried to hide the huge smile that so desperately wanted to appear on her face.
"You get your pie?" she asked opening the door of the car.
"Yep, the pie was easy but the coffee, whoa! Luke was tough tonight" she said hopping into the car.
"Just tonight" Rory said smirking
Lorelai smiled, for some unknown reason Rory seemed to be happier, she was joking something she hadn't done in a couple of days, so she was happy that Rory was happy.
The next morning…
"Lukee, Lukee" Lorelai called as she entered the diner the next morning.
"No" he said picking up an order and walking around the counter. He walked over to a table in the corner, a whinging Lorelai following him.
"Pleaseee, today is a 'I really really neeed coffee' day" she pleaded following him as he walked back to the counter, neglecting his 'no one else is allow behind the counter' rule. He turned around to face her.
"Everyday is a 'really need coffee day' for you" he said, mocking her. He suddenly realised where she was standing.
"What are you doing?" he asked stopping dead.
"Begging for coffee?" she said hopefully, well aware what Luke was asking her about. Luke ignored her answer.
"Your not allowed to be behind the counter" he said pushing her by the shoulders till she was out of his 'domain'. She pouted and sat down on a stool, as Luke grabbed a mug and the coffee pot. She smiled gratefully accepting the mug of steaming hot coffee.
"So what's happening today that requires you to have so much caffeine?" he asked leaning against the counter.
"I have to go shopping with my mother today" she said, rolling her eyes in annoyance.
"Eh" he said sympathising with her. He turned back around in time to see Jess coming down the stairs and heading for the door.
"Hey, where are you going?" he asked. Jess turned around, taking a deep breath to answer Luke. He was trying to be civil mostly because Lorelai was sitting right there and if she hated him…well less than she already did, that could screw things up for Rory and him.
"You said I only had to work till 12, it is now 12.05" he said smiling fakely.
"Mmm" Luke grunted, Jess took is as an ok and headed out the door.
Luke sighed and turned his attention back to Lorelai, she was holding up her coffee mug and grinning mischievously at him. He rolled his eyes and took the cup from her.
Jess made his way through the small town of Stars Hollow, he had never really much liked it here, too quiet for his tastes and too…personal. Everyone was in everyone else business. But it did have a mellow sort of…could write an amusing song about it, kind of feel. After a little while he reached the Gilmore house, smiling at the thought of Rory. He walked up the front steps and knocked on the door. He was almost immediately greeted by a happy Rory.
"Hey" he said
"Hey" she said still smiling, she grabbed his hand and pulled him into the house. As the door shut behind him he felt Rory's lips connect with his, he kissed her back fiercely. They eventually both pulled away breathlessly. She looked down at his hands and a frown appeared upon her face.
"What?" he asked
"You didn't bring John?" she said pouting.
"Yeah because I want to hear you play" she frowned a little more, considering this.
"Well your very lucky because I did actually want to play you something" her eyes lighting up again.
"Really?" he asked grabbing hold of her hips
"Aha" she smiled
He leaned in and kissed her passionately, once they broke away she took his hand and led him through into the lounge room.
"Sit here" she said pointing to a chair, Jess obeyed and sat down. Rory walked forward and sat down at the piano. The chair was placed so it was facing Rory's back, as much as Jess liked her back he kind of wanted to see her face when she played. He stood up and picked up the chair.
"No" Rory called out turning around.
"I don't want to be able to see you…I might screw it up" she said innocently. Jess chuckled slightly, raising his eyebrows and put the chair back down.
"Whatever you say"
She nodded her head contently and turned back towards the piano.
An idea popped into her head and she turned back around to face him.
"Just so you know I wrote this song about you…after you saw me playing the first time" she watched him for a minute and then turned once more to face the piano. She took a deep breath, placing her feet on the pedals and her hands above the keys.
She stared to play the soft first notes
"Yeah ah"
"My head's full of thought …thoughts of you" her feet gentled peddled.
"And I'm distracted so easy …thinking what to do…" her fingers danced across the keys, so effortlessly.
"So unsure, so unfamiliar" her pitch rising slightly, but still keeping the soft piano melody.
"Am I wrong to think that something could happen…" her soft voice ringing out into the room.
"Will you fall for me…" her eyes closed in content concentration
"I need to know, the way I'd like you to…" she played using a little more force.
"…Baby, will you fall for me…the way I've fallen for you…" those last lines lingering in Jess's mind.
The songs melody begun to pick up, soft yet powerful
"I'm not acting like myself, and I'm playing the role of someone else…and my hearts beating so fast, I can't stop it…and I'm so unsure, So unfamiliar…"
"Am I wrong to think that something could happen…"
"Will you fall for me…I need to know…" the words sung out almost demandingly
"The way I'd like you tooo" she sang, the melody twisting round
"Will you faall for mee…" she sung powerfully, opening up
"The way I've fallen for you…The way I've fallen for …you…The way I've fallen for…fallen forrrr…fallen for …yoou" she sung the songs closing softly. Rory lifted her fingers off the keys the last note still ringing in the air, she removed her feet from the pedals and the room was quiet once again. Nervously Rory turned around to face Jess.
She was amazing, those words kept running through his head, she was amazing. And that song, and the lyrics, that meant she actually liked him…had wanted him, had wanted him to like her.
He was shocked, Rory automatically took it for shock of he didn't like it, that it was horrible. Jess noticed this look cross Rory's face and so he quickly got up and walked over to her, his lips connecting with hers. Letting them better express how it all made him feel. They pulled back breathlessly and Jess sat down on the long seat next to her, pushing a piece of her hair behind her ear. Their eyes intently fixed on each others.
"You are amazing you know?" he said
Rory smiled happily and kissed him again. He stood up and walked around sitting next to her so he too was facing the piano. He placed his hands on the keys, and gently started to play. Rory titled her head at him, giving him a surprised looked. He just shrugged and continued to play.
"Usually I like to play this song on the guitar but today…"he shrugged his shoulders, she smiled at him as he continued to play an unrecognisable tune.
"Ok" he said and he put both hands on the piano and begun to play, Rory smiled as the familiar tune triggered her mind, knowing what song it was.
"Today is going be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you…" Rory bounced her head along to the tune.
"By now you should've somehow realised what you gotta do…" he sang, pushing the keys down powerfully.
"I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now…" He played the music waiting till the next verse was due to begun. He opened his mouth to sing but was cut off by Rory's voice.
"Backbeat the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out…" Jess smiled and continued to play.
"I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt..." she sung, and now it was Jess's turn to cut in.
"I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now…" he sang, Rory face turned to fake hurt, and he smiled raising his eyebrows at her. She smiled, watching him play.
"And all the roads we have to walk are winding…" he sung, playing powerfully
"And all the lights that lead us there are blinding…" Rory sung slightly higher creating a harmony.
"There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don't know how…" Jess sang, his voice rough and full of feeling.
"Because maybe…" he sang
"Maybe…" she sang echoing him.
Meanwhile outside…
I can't believe I forgot my purse, I'm so going to be late and my mother is going to kill me. Lorelai ranted to herself as she hurried up the front steps of her house, she was about to fling the door open when she heard the sound of someone singing, a guy singing inside. She paused and listened.
"There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don't know how…" a gruff voice sang beautifully. She listened, her face creased in confusion.
"Because maybe…" the guys voice sang again.
"Maybe…" That was Rory's voice.
Lorelai quietly opened the door and peered inside. Sitting at the piano was Jess and Rory, Jess was playing and looking at Rory, who was looking at him, her eyes filled with affection. Lorelai confused stood still watching the pair.
"You're gonna be the one that saves me…" Jess sang looking at Rory intently
"Saves me…" Rory echoed not loosing eye contact.
"And after all…" she sang
"You're my wonderwall…" they sung together. They're eyes connected, Jess's fingers stoped playing and he leaned forward and kissed her softly on the lips. Rory smiled through the kiss and kissed him back passionately.
This did not go unnoticed by Lorelai Gilmore still standing at the door. She quietly backed out of the house, closing the door carefully and walked back to her jeep, a million thoughts running through her head, contemplating what to do next.
Note: I chose most of 'Rory's' songs to be songs by Delta Goodrem because that is sort of the kind of music I think she would sing, soft'ish piano music.
'Will you fall for me" is sang and was written by Delta Goodrem
'Wonderwall' is sang and was written (I assume) by Oasis
I own none of the song lyrics they belong to the fabulous musicians who wrote them. From the previous chapter I do not own the song 'When the stars go blue' it belongs to Tyler Hilton and possibly Bethany Joy Lenz.+
Pretty please review, I love hearing what bits of the story you liked :)
