Disclaimer: Just a warning that this chapter contains some adult situations, nothing too bad but I just wanted to put out a warning that this chapter is probably a bit more mature then what I've written so far.
Chapter 8: "I Never Forget."
The only light that could be seen in the dark room was the outline of the sun through the bedroom shades. It was past nine. Most of the city had woken up hours ago to begin their busy days at the office, but the two bodies asleep under the comforter of the small apartment were far from being awake. That was until the alarm next to the bed began shrieking loudly.
Rory shot up from her position in Jess' bed. The alarm had startled her, but it hadn't seemed to bother the sleeping form next to her. He lay still with his eyes closed. Rory couldn't help but smile as the memories of the night before had flooded back to her. She casually leaned over and blew seductively in the sleeping man's ear.
"I'm never gonna be able to get up if you continue doing that to my ear Rory." Jess said with a smirk.
"Who needs to get up?" Rory questioned.
"Unfortunately I do I need to work in an hour." Jess said as he finally opened his eyes to gaze at Rory.
She was sitting up with the blanket pulled over her chest. Her hair was frazzled from the prior nights activities and he couldn't help but think it was the most beautiful he had ever seen her. He sat up himself, but only for a moment to capture Rory's lips with his own and then pull her into a lying position with him.
When the kiss became more passionate Rory pulled away regretfully. "You have to work, remember?"
"huh, your right I did say that didn't I." Jess said as he kissed along Rory's neck.
"Jess, you have to get ready I want a roof over my head you know." Rory said jokingly.
"Roofs are overrated." Jess said as he continued his trail of kisses.
Rory giggled but the grown up part of her took over and pushed him away. "Shower now mister!"
Jess groaned "You're mean."
"Well one of us has to be the adult in this relationship." Rory said playfully as she watched Jess pull on his boxers that had carelessly been thrown on the edge of the bed the night before and walk to the bathroom.
Rory heard the shower turn on and got out of bed herself. Pulling one of Jess' shirts out of his draw she slipped it over her head. It was an old Clash t-shirt that she had seen him wear hundreds of times. She walked into the living room area and sat down on their sofa. She decided to watch the rest of the movie they hadn't gotten to finish the night before.
"You know I have to say this movie will forever be on my favorite list now." Jess said as he emerged from the bathroom wearing only a towel.
Rory smiled at him. "Mine too."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It was one o'clock. Jess had only been gone for a couple of hours, but it felt like an eternity to Rory. She had made the bed, showered, done the dishes, tried watching some television, and now she sat staring at her book. "The collected works of Nathaniel Hawthorne." However, the book was far from keeping her entertained. She missed him like crazy she wanted him to be with her more then anything. Jess was the only person who had ever made her feel this way. It was amazing to her that even after everything they had been through just the thought of him caused butterflies in her stomach.
Jess was feeling the same way. He lazily leaned over the counter of the little store as he did almost everyday. Overall Jess liked his job. It didn't pay the bills very well, but Luke helped him out with his rent when he needed it. He had to start thinking about upgrading his job if Rory was going to be staying with him. He wanted to prove to her that she could depend on him now.
Jess was pulled out of his thoughts as the bell above the door rang. Jess looked up only to see the last person he would ever expect to be in the store.
"Jess, Right?" Logan asked as he entered the store.
Jess shook his head in disbelief. "Logan."
"You remember I'm impressed, I guess Rory must talk about me a lot." Logan said.
"Actually she hasn't mentioned you; I guess she's been too busy screaming my name to say yours." Jess said with a smirk.
"I didn't come here to throw verbal insults around; I came to drop off Rory's mail. I would have called her, but I don't think I would be able to talk to her." Logan said.
Suddenly Jess felt bad for Logan. It wasn't long ago that Jess was faced with the dilemma of losing Rory. She was definitely a hard one to get over. Jess grabbed the mail from Logan's outstretched hand. "Thanks."
With that Logan was out the door. Jess was baffled by his visit. He had never expected him to be so civil in all of this. The day He and Rory had gone to pick up her things Logan had left without a word, which had been fine with Jess. He didn't need Rory thinking she had made the wrong decision. Hopefully this would be the last he would see of Logan.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Rory had set the table in anticipation for Jess' return. She had made spaghetti for him. One of the few things she was capable of making herself. She couldn't wait for him to be home. When the apartment door opens she almost jumped out of her skin with excitement.
"Hey." Was all he said as he entered the small apartment.
"Hey yourself." Rory said as she approached him and gave him a small kiss on his mouth.
Jess kissed her back slowly before taking her into his arms and giving her a proper kiss.
"Something smells good." Jess said as he pulled away from Rory to enter the small kitchen.
"I made dinner." Rory said shyly.
"Well aren't you just June Clever." Jess said as turned to look at Rory.
"In some areas yes, in others I'm nothing like her." Rory said with a mischievous grin.
"Really, and what areas would that be?" Jess asked suggestively.
"Dishes, what did you think I was talking about?" Rory said laughing at her own joke.
Jess shook his head at Rory. "You are such a tease Gilmore."
"Yes, but a cute tease." Rory said stepping closer to him.
"The cutest I've ever seen." Jess said as he captured her lips.
Dinner was forgotten as Rory pulled Jess into their bedroom and shut the door.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Rory's eyes opened quickly from the dream she had just had. She shot up in bed as her thoughts drifted to the tiny package that she had forgotten about in her purse. She walked quickly across the room and straight for her bag. When she opened the small package her worst fears were confirmed. With all the excitement of the past few days she had forgotten. How could she forget? She never forgot.
"Shit." was all she said as she stared down at the birth control pills she held in her hand.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Everyone let me know what you think. I know the Logan this seemed Random, but it has a point. PLEASE Read and review!
