The next morning Lorelai and Rory trudged to the diner with all of their luggage.
"Hey Luke," Lorelai said, sitting down at a table.
"Hey," he grunted.
"So I'm assuming Jess came over last night?" Rory asked.
"Yeah," Luke replied.
"Are you gonna let him stay?" Rory questioned.
"For now, it's only temporary. He's got till the end of summer to find a place of his own," he said.
"Oh," Rory answered.
They ate their breakfast and it was almost time to leave.
"I'm going to go up and say goodbye to Jess," Rory said after drinking the last of her coffee.
"Okay. Don't be up too long. Remember what happened the last time I walked in on you two?" Lorelai said.
"Yes I do. I won't be long mom," she answered, heading up the stairs.
When Rory got upstairs Jess was still asleep in his bed. Contemplating how to wake him up she sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Jess," she called.
He was still sleeping, so from where she sat on the bed she started bouncing up and down.
"Geez Luke," Jess started.
"Hi!" Rory chirped when he rolled over and saw her.
"Hey," he replied sleepily.
"That was an interesting way to wake me up," Jess said as he sat up.
"I thought so," Rory replied.
"What are you doing up here?" he asked.
"You don't want me here?" she teased.
"Of course I want you here. I'm just wondering why you actually are here," he said as he stood up and pulled on a pair of jeans.
"I was just … uh," she blushed at the sight of him in only his boxers and lost her train of thought.
"Stop gawking," he said, pulling on his shirt.
"I wasn't gawking," she argued.
"Yes you were," he argued back.
"No-" she was cut off by Jess pulling her up and kissing her.
"Are you trying to shut me up?" she asked.
He didn't reply and he kissed her again.
"Because I think you are," she continued.
He just kissed her again.
"I have to go," Rory finally said.
"Why?" he asked before once again kissing her.
"My mom's waiting," she said breathlessly.
"She can wait longer," Jess murmured between kisses.
"I have a plane to catch," she managed to say.
"Fine," he finally said with a sigh.
"You'll be here when I get back. Won't you?" she asked, stepping back and eyeing him.
"Yes Rory. I promise," he assured her.
"Good. I'll be back in about a month," Rory said happily.
"I'll be here," he mumbled.
"Bye! I love you," she said giving him a quick kiss.
"Love you too," he replied as they walked down to the diner.
"Ready babe?" Lorelai asked when Rory came back.
"Yep, let's go," Rory said, lugging on her backpack.
They said their goodbyes and headed off to Europe. Rory had some doubts as to whether or not Jess would be there for her when she got back though.
