Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls or any of those Characters - Amy Sherman-Palladino does. I do own most of the plot, if it was used on a different fanfic, I am not aware of this
A/N: So, I'm watching Gilmore girls season 3 right now. So, I know I didn't leave the last chapter with a cliffhanger; it was getting late when I wrote it. I've been trying to update as much as possible, and as soon as possible. Oh, and Literaiever, it is funny that you said that because my brother's 18th birthday is this Sunday. I plan on giving him the Night at the Roxbury CD, though. Does anyone know how long it is from Stars Hollow to Yale?
Ring "Luke's diner," Jess said with excitement in his voice knowing exactly who it was.
"I've just stepped foot into my dorm room, and went straight for the phone." Rory said.
"Good to know," Jess acted like he didn't care, but he really did care of everything she did.
"So, how was the talk with your mother?"
"More bearable than knowing that you weren't with me for the last hour and a half." Jess flirted.
"Aw, open-hearted Jess"
"Aw, five year old Rory," Jess joked.
In the background, Jess heard Paris say, "That isn't Logan, that's Jess! Why didn't I get an update? What happened? Why do I feel like I'm in middle school again?"
"So Paris approves or disapproves?" Jess asked, laughing lightly at Paris's outburst.
"I'm not sure, she's Paris, and she's weird,"
Lightly in the background, Paris added, "Very funny, what is he asking now?"
"Do you approve?" Rory asked Paris.
"I don't know, yet, give me about 2 weeks."
"Ok, she is weird." Jess said.
Rory giggled.
"What, what did he say?" Paris yelled.
"Uhh, that he remembers you leprechaun of a boyfriend?" Rory said in a question tone. Rory walked into her room to get away from Paris.
"I miss you," Jess said.
"I miss you, too." Rory replied
"Two more days, I cannot wait that long," Jess stated.
"Neither can I, these damn exams."
"Right, you have exams, and you have to study…and sleep."
"Jess, its 7:30."
"You will be studying until 10, then you are going to sleep."
"Fine mom,"
"Second time today, huh, that is a bit degrading," Jess said monotonously
"Well, that's what you get…ok I got to get back to studying."
"Yea, you do," Jess said a bit sadly
"You are not making this easier,"
"Ah, well."
"Ok, well, bye."
"Bye," Jess hung up; it was the hardest thing he had to do in a while.
At Rory's dorm:
Rory was sitting at her bed, studying, when Paris walked in, "Ok, what happened this weekend?"
Rory took a deep breath, "Ok, fine, I might as well get this over with, well, I'm sure you listened in on our conversation Thursday night. We came back, everyone was surprised. Oh, my mom and Luke moved in together."
"So that was the important thing,"
"Yes, and Lane's ex-boyfriend, now current boyfriend, Dave, moved back."
"Sounds, familiar, but get back to this whole you and Jess thing."
"So, we first hung around with Dave and Lane. Acted like one big group of friends. I went to dinner and Logan came and he met Jess, first they were ok," Rory went on with giving the whole legists of the happenings in her weekend.
When she was done, "Oh My God, that has to be the most…well, this may seem weird coming from me, but the most romantic story I have ever heard, not on TV."
"Thank you, I think, ok you leave now. I have to study."
"Study? For what?"
"Exams this week?"
"No, they aren't."
"What?"
"Your calendar must be out of track, exams are in two weeks."
"Oh, that makes more sense."
"Have you been studying?"
"Yea, like crazy."
"Well, just remember that information for less studying next weekend."
"Thanks for the advice, if I known this ahead of time, I could of stayed in Stars Hollow for like an hour longer."
"Wow, an hour, what a major difference!"
"I'm going to call Jess and you are leaving my room."
"Oh, Doyle is coming over later,"
"Go buy food tomorrow then," Rory said when she dialed the number and Paris exited her room.
"Why aren't you studying?" Jess said as he picked up his cell phone.
"Because it ends up exams are in two weeks, oh and hello to you to," Rory lit up with joy just hearing his voice.
"Only 64 hours until I see you."
"How long have you been counting down?"
"Ever since you left."
"Jess, just come here now, I can't stand it anymore," Rory blurted out.
"What? I can't drive an hour and a half there and back tonight, I'm to tired."
"No, all you have to do is drive here, you can stay past Wednesday if you want."
"What? Rory, no, that would be called taking it too fast."
"Jess, we've dated for about a year and had about a 2 years break."
"Rory, tempting as it is, we can't, not yet," Jess was surprised how the role switched since they were 17.
"Ugh, I guess you're right."
"You have really changed since we were 17," Jess completely regretted what he said once he said it.
Rory got defensive, "What do you mean by that?'
"Well, just, its different, just different," Smooth man, very smooth.
"O...k..., getting off this subject."
"I got to get back to work, they still aren't back yet."
"Ooo, I feel bad for Sookie."
"Yea, me two, call me when you wake up tomorrow, no matter how early it is."
"Ok, good night Jess."
"Good night Rory."
Rory heard a knocking at her door and got up to get it. "Oh, hi Doyle."
"Hello Rory, do you have your article done yet? O, chips, can I have some," Doyle said walking over to the tiny refrigerator with snacks on top, taking the chip bag.
"Sure, why not?" Rory said, moping back into her room.
Paris walked out and Doyle greeted her, "What's with her?"
"Boy troubles," Paris responded.
"Logan?"
"No, Jess"
"What?"
"I'll explain later."
The next morning:
"Hey, I missed you too," Rory smiled while she was on the phone.
Doyle walked by. "How long do you think that is going to last?" he asked Paris.
"I don't know, until they see more of each other, maybe."
"I know, only about 52 more hours," Rory smiled.
"Are they counting down until they see each other again?" Doyle asked.
"It might have been cute at first, now its just plain weird," Paris stated. "Ok, lets go to breakfast."
Rory covered the phone, "No, wait for me guys."
"We have, for the past 15 minutes," Paris replied.
"Ok, Jess, I have to go…I know…No, I don't want to leave either…I know, I'll call you right after my class…bye."
"Ok, can we get food now," Doyle said.
"Lets go get your Lucky Charms, Doyle," Rory joked.
At the Diner:
Jess hung up the phone with a huge grin on his face.
"Aww, Jess was talking on the phone with his girlfriend?" Lorelei asked.
"Yes," Jess replied, Wow, a sarcasmless answer, you have changed too Jess.
Around 2 days pass. Nothing really different happened. Rory talked on the phone with Jess whenever she could. Rory got a couple calls from her mom, the first on told her that Sookie had a baby girl and the last one told Rory that her mom had something important to tell her. Rory's Dorm:
Rory woke up at 8; she couldn't wait to see him again. It seemed that he couldn't wait either because there was a knock at her door. Rory's heart jumped, He is 2 hours early.
Rory opened the door, "Logan!"
"Hey, Ace."
"Logan, what do you want?" There was disappointment in her voice.
"What, not happy to see me?"
"Well, I was expecting someone else."
"Oh," Logan felt disappointment as well.
"Yea, but he shouldn't be here for 2 more hours, what do you want to talk about?"
"Just checking to see if you and Jess were back together…I also wanted to make sure things wouldn't be awkward at the crew meeting this afternoon."
Rory smirked a bit. The thought of Jess rowing still made her laugh. "Yea, it shouldn't be, just no fights, you guys got a long so well."
"I doubt that we will still, now that I know the truth behind everything."
"Well, this wasn't awkward, I'll see you later Logan."
"Bye Ace." Logan left.
Rory plopped herself on the couch. Two minutes later, there was another knock at her door. I really hope this is Jess.
She opened the door. Jess took no time to wait any longer and kissed her. They migrated over to the couch and plopped down. Jess withdrew, "I missed you so much."
"I miss…" she was interrupted with Jess's lips.
"Jess…" Rory tried to say, but Jess was still kissing her. Rory pushed away, "Jess, Logan just came by."
"I know, I saw him in the hallway."
"So did you guys have a buddy-to-buddy conversation?"
"No, I snuck passed him so he didn't see me; I didn't feel like dealing with him."
"Well, you are going to have to deal with him later today."
"Really, when?" Jess slumped into the couch and put his arm around Rory, because he can!
Rory let out a small laugh, "At that crew thing this afternoon."
"You still are laughing about that?"
"Yes, Jason Reed."
"Who?"
"Olympic rower in the men's eight. The only men team that won a metal last year."
"Someone googled this subject."
"Ways-enough!"
"Ok, getting off this subject…I missed you Ror."
"I missed you, too."
They just sat like that for about 20 minutes. Both feeling if they let go of the other, they wouldn't feel like that ever again, they wanted it to last forever. Yelling in the next room interrupted them.
"DOYLE, you are drooling all over my pillows," Paris yelled.
"Ugh, just wash the pillow cases."
"Then I would have to wash them every time that you stay over, which, by the way, is every night!"
Jess looked at Rory and smiled an amused smile. Rory replied by putting her head on his chest. She was glad that they weren't like them. "Well, we are going to be going to breakfast in about 10 minutes."
"They are timed just like that."
"Yup, every morning, the same arguments and about 10 minutes later we go to breakfast."
"In between that?"
"You do not want to know!"
"Ok, so should we get a head start on going to breakfast?" Jess did not want to know what happened.
"Good idea." Rory turned to Paris's door and yelled, "We are leaving for breakfast."
"Oh, wait for us, we will be right out…Doyle, put your pants back on!" Paris yelled.
"Ok, so we wait."
"How have you been?" Jess asked.
"Fine, wanting you to be with me mostly."
"Same here."
"So…Rowing,"
"Hurry up Paris," Jess yelled getting off the subject.
Rory took a pillow and started hitting him with it, but Jess was stronger and held her down. Paris walked out, "Ok, can you guys just get off each other!"
"Now that wasn't awkward," Jess whispered to Rory.
"So lets go to dinner," Rory said, leading the way out.
"You must be Jess," Doyle approached Jess.
"Yes, hello Doyle," Jess said as he walked at a quicker pace to catch up to Rory and put his arm around her as they walked.
That afternoon, at the lake:
"So, you are wearing spandex," Rory looked over Jess.
"Rory, you are making me feel like a piece of meat or something."
"And today you are, oh look, Dave and Lane came!"
"Oh, goody, they brought a video camera!"
Rory and Jess stopped at the side of the lake where there were benches.
"So, I have to go now," Jess said.
"Ok, I'll be watching," Rory replied. He kissed her and then ran towards the boathouse. Rory walked towards Lane and Dave, and of course, Dave's arm was around Lane's shoulders.
"So this is going to be fun!" Lane said.
"If not, bloody," Rory replied, pointing over at Logan approaching Jess.
