Disclaimer: Yet again, I own nothing

Oh my god, I loooooove reviews :D they make me feel all happy…sighs…

Anyway, nD kS nW, I totally see your point, but as I said before, I have a plan, and it may seem totally OOC now, it'll get…a little less ooc later on :P. Also, don't worry, I wasn't planning on dragging the Dean thing out 'til the dance-marathon, coz that would be even more OOC…

(btw, for those who didn't know yet, OOC is Out Of Character)

So here's Chapter 3, hope you like!

Chapter Three

Around one-ish, Rory and Dean get to Luke's. Right in front of the window Dean stops her, and leaps down to give her a passionate kiss. Rory didn't exactly see that coming, and she sorta goes with it, her eyes drifting off, looking directly into his eyes.
He stands behind the counter, and when he sees her looking, he pretends to be reading.
Finally Dean tears away from Rory. "I'll see you tomorrow, 'kay?"
Rory puts on a fake smile. "Yeah, bye." She says, and enters the diner, where she goes right up to Jess.
She just awaits him to speak.

After a while he says, without looking up from his book, "So'd you have fun with Dean last night?"

"What do you mean?" She asks carefully.

He just glares at her. He turns around, "Luke, I'm taking a break." He announces, and leaves upstairs.

Rory sighs, and looks around to make sure no one sees her, before she goes after him.
"Jess, what?" She asks when she closes the door behind her.

"Are you sleeping with him?" He fires off.

"What?" Rory asks unbelieving.

"He spent the night, you come at the door with your shirt half unbuttoned, just outside he kissed you like he had the best night of his life."

"Jess-"

"- I mean, what was I, just the guy who took the pressure off the first time for you, so you didn't have to be so nervous about doing it with precious perfect Dean?"

"Jess, stop it!" Rory says upset. How could he say, or even think that? "How can you think-" She starts, but she is all choked up, and she tries to hold back her tears. What made him think she'd be that kind of girl? But she knew what did. Dean. He was jealous of Dean.

Jess looks down, still looking kind of mad. He sighs. "Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you like that." He looks up to her. "It's just, I can't stand that jerk! And just the though of him being with you, touching you, makes me-"

"-I know." Rory cuts him off, and she puts her hands on his cheeks. "Just, ease off, okay?" And she lets her hands slide down on his arms.

Jess nods. "So nothing happened?"

"Nothing happened." She shakes her head.

"You'll break up with him?"

"I will."

Jess nods.

"I have to go back down. My mom'll be there any minute."
Jess gives her a soft kiss, and Rory goes downstairs.
Just as she comes from behind the curtain, Lorelai enters the diner. "Rory!" She yells excited.

"Mom!" Rory yells back, and they hurry to each other in a tight embrace.
Luke shakes his head.

"I thought I'd never see you again!" Lorelai says, acting serious. "If I'd stayed there for another second, I would have killed myself!"

Jess comes down, and also shakes his head at the exaggerated reunion of the Gilmores.

"Was it really that bad?" Rory asks as she and Lorelai sit down at a table.

"Like you wouldn't believe!" She reaches for the bag she dropped for the embrace. "But look what I gooot."

"Prezzies!" Rory says excited.

"Well, that one way of looking at it."

"What is it then?"

Lorelai reaches into the bag. "Original, home or factory made…" She grabs out a pack of some sort of cakes. "Local snacks!"

"Wow! These look great! Ooh, they don't even have a name! Exotic."

"I know." Lorelai says with a grin. "Okay, let's try them out, and if they're really gross, we'll make fun of everything that town embodies and is proud of!" She starts opening the pack, when Luke comes up to her.

"This is a diner."

"I know." She says seriously. "And we're here to dine, on these tasty whachamacallit's!"

"You have to order something here." Luke says grumpy.

"Okay, coffee please."

Luke opens his mouth to say something back, but he sighs and gives up, and gets them coffee.

"Where were we?" Lorelai asks, focusing back on Rory.

"You were opening the pack." Rory says with a full mouth, holding a half eaten cake in her hand.

"Hey!"

"I'm sorry!" She swallows. "They called out to me! I couldn't resist, it would've been rude!"

"Now you ruined it." Lorelai says with a disappointed face.

"They kept going like: Rory eat us, she could be talking to Luke for hours. You know you want to." She says, doing a little voice.

Lorelai gasps. "Dirty."

Rory shoves the rest of the cake in her mouth. "These are great by the way." She states.

Lorelai grumbles as she takes one from the pack.

They'd been sitting on a bench in the gazebo in silence for a few minutes now. They'd agreed to meet there already last night, Rory hadn't planned it like this, but she felt it was time.
She takes his hand, and they look at each other.
She wasn't sure if he knew what was coming, but she knew he knew something was up.

"Dean." She finally says, her throat feeling dry.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Rory is back in her room. She feels really sad, and a few tears roll down her cheek, dripping off her chin.

"Is this about Jess?" He'd asked. She'd seen the hurt in his eyes.
She told him, that Jess had something to do with it, but wasn't the main reason, that they'd just grown apart.
It was horrible. He cried. She cried. Not because she still loved him or anything, but she still really cared for him, and didn't want to hurt him.
He told her he'd seen it coming, but was afraid to admit it. She said how sorry she was, and they said goodbye, and she went home, tears rolling down.
At home she saw her mom, and she told her she and Dean broke up, and she cried in her arms for a while before she went to her room.

What she would have wanted was to just confess everything to him, but she knew that if she did, he would hate her forever, and she couldn't handle that.
She did want to stay friends with Dean, although she understood that right now that was impossible for both of them.

Jess was lying in bed. He hadn't see or heard from Rory for three days now, which was weird because she usually went to Luke's for coffee. He hadn't heard the news of the break up yet, even though it was going all over town, thanks to gossip queens Miss Patty and Babette.
He just lay there staring at the ceiling, not being able to sleep all night. Was she even going to break up with Dean? Sure she said so, but how could he know? He was starting to doubt is she even loved him back. She hadn't said it that night, she just kissed him. He did say it. He had never told a girl that. Mostly because he had never felt it before. But she had let him be her first. The first to sleep with her, the first to see her undressed.
Suddenly he realized how unreal it all seemed. In the two years she'd been with Dean she never let him touch her, and just like that in one night, she'd cheated on him with a guy she hardly knew. What if she felt it was a mistake, and that's why he hadn't heard from her? And what if she had slept with Dean before, but she lied to him just to appease him?
His thoughts were depressing him deeply, but they were interrupted by Luke's voice. "Jess!" He called from downstairs.

Jess sighs and gets off his bed. "What!" He yells back. He glances at the clock. It's already 9:45 Am.

"Come down, now!" Luke yells, his voice sounding annoyed.

Jess puts his shirt and jeans on, and goes downstairs. "What?" He asks again, but then he sees Rory sitting at the counter, and he blinks surprised.

"Rory's here to see you." Luke says, and continues his business.

Jess walks up to her.

"Hey." She says.

"Hi." He says sort of bitterly. He's still somewhat shaken up by his thoughts earlier.

"Can we talk?" Rory asks. "Outside?" She adds with a glance at miss Patty sitting supposedly innocent at the table in the corner.

Jess nods, and follows Rory outside.
They slowly walk towards the town square. "So…is this where you tell me it was all a mistake and you're staying with Dean?" Jess asks without looking at Rory.

Rory frowns at him. "What?"

"Never mind." He quietly says.

They stop walking. "I though you'd probably heard already, since I saw Babette eavesdropping when it happened." Rory says. She takes a deep breath. "I broke up with Dean."

Jess looks surprised. "What? When?"

"Monday."

"And now it's Thursday."

"I know, I just needed some time, to think."

"So you were thinking, you and me isn't…the best idea?"

"Is the best idea." Rory corrects him with a smile.

"So what' you tell Dean?"

"That it was partly because of you."

"So…" Jess takes a step closer to her. "If I went like this…" He entangles his fingers with hers, holding their hands up. "there would be no surprised stares?" Jess asks.

"Probably not." Rory smiles.

"How 'bout if I did this?" Jess asks as he dips in, and gives Rory the best kiss of both their lives.

Afterwards she looks around. "Nope, no stares." She states.

"Huh, that's a first." Jess nods.

OOOOOOOOOOOO

Meanwhile, Lorelai is at home, picking dirty clothes off the floor and putting them into the laundry basket she's holding. She enters Rory's room, and picks up Rory's Chilton sweater. She gets on her knees and looks under the bed, where she finds besides Rory's stack of books, a belt. She gets up, holding it high. She frowns, as she examines the belt, not recognizing it.
Then it dawns upon her. "Oh my god…" She mutters to herself.

Well that's chapter three…Oh no, cliffhanger! What's going to happen!
You'll see soon, as I only have to type chapter four over, and put it on the net.

So tune in next time for another exciting episode of…this story…:P (Review please:D)
