But you're so untouchable
When she comes back to her room, she finds him sprawled out on her couch. She's only half surprised. She punches his arm, as she softly laughs. His eyes flutter awake and when he sees her, they fling open wide.
"Hey sleepy," she says to him.
"Hey," he says rubbing his eyes. "What happened?"
She laughs at him. He can be so cute when he takes his brooding bad boy image off.
"I guess you fell asleep on our couch."
He looks around and realizes he's in her common room.
"Wow," he says, "I guess, I did fall asleep."
She maneuvers herself so that she's sitting next to him while he still lies on the couch.
"So…how was it?" he asks trying desperately to be nonchalant.
She just shrugs at him, but when he doesn't say anything, she goes on.
"It was good," she says.
He decides not to pursue the subject, because the repercussions could be fatal to his heart.
"You want to grab some breakfast?" he asks her.
She laughs at him, finding this comment quite funny and Jess doesn't catch on. He looks down at his watch out of habit, and realizes that it's nearly noon.
"How about lunch?" he asks, stupidly.
"Sure, I'd love to," she says sincerely.
Then something finally dawns on him.
"Did you just get in?" he asks her.
She shrugs again at first, but his eyes are glued to her.
"Yea," she says, softly.
"So…where were you all night?" he asks her.
"I was just at Paul's."
"Did you sleep with him?"
The question slices through the air, and the second it leaves his mouth he regrets it.
"That's none of your business," she tells him quietly.
"You're right, I'm sorry about that. It was stupid of me to ask."
They sit there in silence for a moment, and both feel extremely awkward. He looks at her and she meets his contact, his hand reaches out to touch hers. But suddenly the door flies open and guess who it is.
"Paul," she says, stating the obvious.
"Hey, babe," he says to her smiling, and then it slowly starts to fade when he sees Jess lying on the couch.
"Oh, uh...Hi," he says to Jess.
A severely awkward silence fills the room. They both look to him to say something.
"Right, so I was wondering if you wanted to grab some lunch….Rory that is," Paul says.
She gets up off the couch and goes to hug Paul. Jess turns his head, trying to shut the sight out, but finding it extremely hard.
"Actually, Jess and I are going to grab some lunch," she tells him.
And suddenly Jess can't help but smirk at this.
"Ok, well how about you call me afterwards," he tells her.
She just nods to him and he goes to leave, but not before he kisses her long enough to give the signal to Jess, hands off. Then he turns glaring at Jess and slams the door behind him.
"He'll cool off later," she tells him. "Let's go."
He practically jumps up off the couch, so happy that finally he has something up on the stupid ogre. This is war, and what's the score again? O yes, that's right. Jess 1, Paul 0,
A/N: Just a little something short and sweet to tie it together a little bit. I promise there will be more, later.
