Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore girls…some of the new characters I made up but the rest I only wish I could take credit for.

Please review, I live for the feedback!

As Rory looked up her eyes confirmed what her heart already new was true.

"Rory Gilmore as I live and breathe." Jess said with a smirk like Rory had never seen.

"Well it looks like you two already know each other, Rory this is Jess Mariano, he is one of our reviews for the literature section." Jessica explained

"So you read books and write your opinions?" Rory asked in disbelief

"Yup, and I can't believe I found someone to pay me for it"

Rory was speechless. Here at her perfect job, a great newspaper, an opportunity she could have only dreamed up and Jess was right in the middle of her perfect world. Rory couldn't explain the range of emotions going through her mind, Jess was here, he worked here, she would be working with Jess. She just couldn't believe it.

"Hello Rory, earth to Rory" Jess joked. Rory shot him a look to quit it. He quickly got the message. "Well I'll see you guys around. Boss lady, always nice seeing you."

"That kid is to smug for his own good" Jessica commented

"Tell me about it"

"So how do you know Jess?"

"That's a long story. But I guess the short less complicated version would be he's my mother's husband's nephew."

"Ohhh….I totally get it now." Jessica teased. "So how about that coffee"

"Sounds great" Rory took a drink and knew that she was going to like it here. At least the coffee was good, not Luke's but it was still good.

"Mmmm, this is good coffee, Jess must have made it" Jessica said

"Rory felt her heart sink, just the mention of his name gave her butterflies"

"Well Rory feel free to roam around, but other than that I will see you back here next Saturday."

"Thank you again Jessica, I will see you Saturday then. I'm just going to grab some coffee for the road"

"I think you have a serious sickness," Jess said, walking into the break room. "I mean you just can't stop with the caffeine, can you." Rory stared at her coffee, frozen by the sound of Jess's voice. "Man I remember you being so chatty, what happened Rory?" Jess joked. Rory hated the fact that he had the upper hand, she was now in his court. The thought scared her to death.

"Sorry if I don't seem as bubbly, its just a crazy day. I mean seeing you here, it just threw me off a little bit. This is like me dream job Jess, I just didn't know it was your dream job too."

"Trust me Rory if I thought I would be working as a newspaper writer I would have told you. You of all people know I didn't really have any goals. But after writing my books I realized how much I loved to write. And to get to read a new book every week and review, its amazing. It's the perfect job for me. You know how opinionated I am"

"Yea…I know." Rory said, rolling her eyes. "Listen, as strange as it is that you're here, I'm happy to see you" Jess felt a shot of excitement that only comes from Rory's voice. He too could not believe that she was really here, and that she would be working here every day. He felt all these feelings coming back so fast, he always loved Rory and had never stopped thinking about her. But after that dinner with her boyfriend he thought he would never see her again. Luke and Lorelai had decided to have a small backyard type wedding and Jess didn't have enough notice to make it. He thought all hope of seeing Rory again was lost.

"Well I should get going, the traffic will be really bad getting back to Stars Hollow"

"You should stay" The words flew out of Jess's mouth before he could wrap his head around what he was saying. "I mean…you should soak up the NYC night life. You would like it Rory." Jess smirked.

"I don't think so Jess, I don't have the money to stay overnight, and I really need to get home. I have a lot of studying before class on Monday."

"Ok, well I guess I will see you next weekend." He smirked, if only she knew what was going through his head.

"I guess you will" Rory blushed.

On the ride home Rory's mind was racing. Jess was back in her life and it felt as if he had never left. Why did he has to look so good and talk so good and make he feel like throwing herself in his arms.

"So…. how did it go?" Lorelai asked bright eyed.

"I got the job!"

"Congrats Rory, I'm so proud of you!" Lorelai squealed, "What's wrong sweetie?"

"Nothing mom, just tired, it was a long drive. Can we talk more about the interview tomorrow?"

"Sure hun, whatever you want."

Sorry this chap is so short…I got writers block, please review it will help me crank out the next chapter.
