Today I made the worst mistake possible! Ah, I rented Batman begins. What a waste of money!

I have no idea why I am telling you this, well, anyhow:

This chapter will be from Rory's POV. If you have any suggestions concerning this story, I will be really thankful. I have a rough plot in mind, but email me if you have any ideas. Thank you and review. Now, on with the story:

Rory's POV:

" Please, please please, jess!" I begged for the thousandth time. Jess shook his head no.

" Nope!"

" Pretty please with a cherry on top?" jess smirked.

" I don´t like cherries." he stated, the smirk developing into a full grin.

" Don´t be a party pooper!" I pouted and made big eyes, trying desperately to convince him.

We were sitting in some bar in New York City, celebrating our engagement once again. Jess had insisted on it without having the whole family around.

Flashback

We spent another hour on the bridge, sitting in comfortable silence, both of us lost in thoughts. We would muster up some words in between but other than that we just sat there, starring at our shoes and whenever the other wasn't looking we would observe each other. I took in his facial features, they seemed content, satisfied, at ease.

Suddenly Jess's head jerked up and he caught me staring. Smirking he leaned over and pressed his lips on my forehead.

" What are you thinking about?" He asked. I was stunned since it normally was me who would ask that very question.

" You." I simply stated without elaborating it at all.

" Huh. Could you be a little more vague?" I chuckled at his random response.

" Yes, I could. About life." He leaned back on his hands and rested his whole weight on his arms as his glance wandered about the lake.

" You wanna know what I was wondering about?" I knew he had some ulterior motive to ask that question. I contemplated if I should answer. Finally the curiosity won over the much-needed rationalism.

" What were you wondering about, my dear?" I replied in a mocking voice.

" Nice to know, my thoughts are appreciated." he closed his eyes and let himself fall on his back.

" I was wondering if we had been in a fight earlier." I had a funny feeling in my stomach and concentrated hard on the ring on my finger. He continued.

" Because I we had been in a fight I was wondering if it would include "make up sex" later on." I could hear him chuckle slightly as I took in a deep breath. What to say, what to say?

" Well, you already gave me the ring, so I thought we already had made up, so.." he interrupted me.

" Technically I gave you the ring that means I made up with you, now you owe me big time, my friend." somehow I didn´t know why I was so surprised by his forwardness, after all it was jess I was talking to. He never seemed to make a big deal out of sex. For him it came as natural as breathing, at least that's what he wanted everyone to believe. But he couldn't fool me, I still had this particular image burned into my visual brain. He nearly cried after we had had sex for the first time and if I tried to remember really hard I knew somewhere in the back of my head that he had whispered something about this having been his first real time as well.

" You need a hobby." I said and got up to get a head start. He was chasing after me and when he finally reached me he pulled me down with him and we landed hard on the ground, him hovering over me, trying very carefully not to crush me with his weight.

" Trapped." he whispered as he leaned down to capture my lips with his. Teenagers, that's what shot through my head at that very moment. We behaved like teenagers and sometimes it wasn't the worst thing to escape the daily routine.

Flashback end

" Come on jess, this could be fun." jess tool a sip of his beer and glared at me intensively.

" Tell me again why playing 20 question should be fun?" he asked somehow annoyed.

" Because. … " he again cut me off.

" Fine, what's you favourite colour? " I looked at him unbelievingly.

" We're getting married and that's all you can come up with? My favourite colour?" the fact that he of course already knew the answer was totally irrelevant at that moment.

He sighed and took another sip of his drink.

" Well, you wanted to play, so let's play and I asked the question, now it´s your turn to answer."

"Red." as if you didn´t know that I added silently and gave him a look.

" My turn to ask." he nodded and looked very uncomfortable.

It suddenly occurred to me what it was that I really wanted to know but how should I approach this very sensitive subject. Did I even wanna know?

" What was your impression when you first saw me in my room? You know the day we had had this lovely " welcome in Stars Hollow, jess- dinner"

" Hey, I remember the day we first met, no need to remind me. You really wanna know what I thought when I first saw you?" I nodded eagerly; we had never talked about that before.

" Well, but don´t say I didn´t warn you. I thought, nice body, maybe a little to goody -goody." I gasped and he continued:

" But then I saw all of your books and you ranted about Sookie´s dinner that I started thinking Stars Hollow might not be so bad after all. At least you weren't one of those girls who would starve themselves to death." I laughed a little, relieved by his answer, though not completely satisfied.

" My turn. Did I make you doubt your relationship with dean, when we were talking in that sleigh?"

Subconsciously Jess had directed the conversation in the right direction. Well, I didn´t even know what I had gotten myself into by suggesting playing 20 question.

" You made me doubt my relationship with dean the minute I first saw you. And I was completely lost after out " dodger" conversation." he raised his eyebrows, not reacting to my first confession.

" Dodger conversation?" there was no way in hell he could have forgotten that.

" Oh. You don´t remember?" suddenly I caught his eyes and the sparks in them. He was messing with me.

" Wow, for a minute you had me there. Don´t do that ever again." I stated accusingly.

" So the first time you saw me, huh? Is that how long you have wanted me?" his grin was getting wider and wider, finally covering his whole face. I felt my cheeks turning red. Why was I blushing?

" No need to blush, Ror. I knew we belonged together the minute I stepped into your room, well a second after my first thought." I decided to be brave, just this once.

" So, hmm, jess?"

" Was that your next question?"

" Ha, no, I really don´t know how to ask this, but well, you slept with seven girls, right?" I counted silently in my head. Five girls in NYC and then some girl in Stars Hollow and Shane.

Suddenly the world stopped moving in the bar as I heard Jess take in a deep breath. I waited for him to let it out, but it never came. Finally he spoke up.

" Man, Rory. Do we really have to get into that?" he turned around and signalised to the waiter that he wanted a new beer. I held up my glass as well to show that it needed to be refilled again, too.

We were silent for a while and waited for the waiter to return with our drinks.

" It was a silly question, forget it." I waved my hands in front of m face.

" Well, you asked it so, it must have bothered you." The waiter refilled my champagne and put a new bottle of beer on the table. Jess whispered something and I nearly didn´t get it.

" What?"

" I said, eight." I nodded and silently took in the answer.

" The game sucks." I stated and started to play with my glass.

" The night after you… after you left I went out and well, got really wasted for obvious reason someone might add and I just, I don´t know it happened."

" How does this just happen?" I asked my voice raising. Jess just stared at me surprised. I knew I had no right to be angry, no right at all, but it still hurt. God, what was I expecting? I blinked, the smoke in the room was getting to me.

" You tell me, Rory, how does it just happen?" this shut me up. Guiltily I avoided his eyes. He continued.

" I didn´t bring this up, Rory. It´s all your doing. You have no right to be angry with me right now. It´s not that I cheated on you or something." He closed his mouth abruptly, the meaning of his words finally sinking in, the hidden meaning hanging around us dangerously.

" I'm sorry I hurt you." He just shrugged and concentrated hard on the beer and the bowl of peanuts in front of him. He suddenly lifted his head, in fact so suddenly that I was expecting the worst. It never came.

" My turn, what was the first book you read?" he tried to lighten the mood and I was thankful for it. If I had been able to, I would have bitten myself in the butt. God, we were out here celebrating our engagement and I had to bring this up. What was wrong with me?

I looked up from my champagne and caught his eyes.

" We're good." he silently answered my question. We were both tired of having this fight all aver again.

" Hey, Ror? "

"Hmm"

" Let's just leave the past behind us, okay? Let's focus on the future, our future."

So, what do you think? I hope you liked it. I just wanted to get over with this conversation, it happens so often that people don´t talk about this kind of stuff and Rory and jess never really have, this means closure. Rory has hurt him so badly and it´s not easy to forget something like that but jess is willing to do so. nothing majorly happened in this chapter, but well.
