PART 7

Fortunately for them, the next day was a Saturday. It was 9:15 and Jess has been awoken for an hour and he was lookig at Rory sleeping, smling, his left hand holding her right hand. She opened her eyes around 9:30 and smiled when she saw Jess in front of her.

Jess: Morning!

Rory (still a little asleep): Morning…

Jess: You slept well?

Rory: Mmm…like a baby…and you?

Jess: I did sleep well too.

They smiled at each other. Rory shivered.

Rory: Jess, I'm cold…

He smiled and took her to him. They stayed silent a few minutes.

Jess: You ok? Are you a little more warm?

Rory: Yeah, thanks.

Jess: No problem.

Rory lifted up her head and kissed her boyfriend gently.

Jess (after another moment of silence): Are you hungry?

Rory: A little, yes.

Jess: Good. Stay there, I'll make us breakfast.

Rory: No way! I'm helping!

Jess: I insist!

Rory: Huh…ok, then.

Jess: I love you.

He kissed her on the forehead, got out of the bed, put on a pair of boxer and got out of the room. He came back about 10 minutes later with a plate full of food. He put it down in front of Rory, who had put on Jess's t-shirt, walked around the bed and sat down next to Rory, under the sheets.

Rory (a piece of toast in the mouth): That's delicious.

Jess: Thank you.

And they continued to eat in silence, looking and smiling at each other every once in a while.

Rory (when they're done, a tears dripping down): Thank you Jess.

Jess (wiping the tear): For what?

Rory: For taking care of me the way you do it. I don't know what I would have done without you.

Jess: You would probably not be with me and you might still be with that jerk of Dean.

Rory smiled through her tears.

Jess: Rory, if I take care of you like this, that's because I care about you and because I love you. Never in my life I have loved someone more than you. Don't forget it. If I hadn't knew you, I think I would still be that little jerk I was. If I'm feeling better that's all because of you. You have that effect on me.

Rory smiled to him.

Rory (sniffing): I love you too, Jess. Don't let me down.

Jess (taking her in his arms): Oh, that, never. I love you too much for that.

Rory snuggled even more in his arms. They stayed like this for a moment.

Jess: What could we do today?

Rory: Hum…I don't know, but we shouldn't go too far away from here, I'm working tonight.

Jess: Ok…what about we rent some movies?

Rory: Huh…ok, but at one condition…

Jess: Which one?

Rory: You come shower with me…

Jess: Oh, ok then…the last one arrived pays the movie rent!

He ran to the bathroom before Rory could even add something.

Rory (going to the bathroom): Hey, that's not fair! I'm only wearing a t-shirt!

Jess (from the bathroom): So what? You were less dressed than that last night!

And we heard the door slam shut…In Stars Hollow, the same morning, Lorelei Gilmore was happier to get up than the last months. She dressed up, grabbed her purse and her keys and made her way to Luke's. She had someone to thank…She arrived there about 10 minutes later and she even surprised Luke by seeing her there. She went to sit at the counter.

Luke: Well well…Lorelei Gilmore. It's been a long time.

Lorelei: You know as well as me why, no?

Luke: Yeah.

Silence.

Luke: That's good to see you back.

Lorelei: You're not asking why I'm so good?

Luke: Huh yeah, yeah…I was, huh…going..to do it…So, why are you suddenly feeling so good?

Lorelei: Rory called me last night.

Luke: Really? How is she?

Lorelei: Stop it, Luke. I know it's you who called them. Rory told me. And I thank you from the very bottom of my heart, Luke. I don't know if I would have had the courage to get up this morning if I hadn't had that phone call, last night.

Luke: Lorelei, your parents, Sookie and me we weren't able anymore to see you like that. It was brokenhearting. I was cleaning up my appartment yesterday when I found a photography of my sister Liz and I thought that she might know where could Jess and Rory be. And as of hasard, that's where they were since the beginning.

Lorelei: Thank you again Luke. I owe you big.

Luke: That's not necessary. What can I get you?

Lorelei: You don't remember?

Luke: Ah, right…coffee with eggs and bacon.

Lorelei: I knew you would remember.

Luke went to give her order at the back and poured some coffee in a mug, which he gave to Lorelei. About 2 hours and a lot of bla-bla later, Lorelei paid for her breakfast and left for the inn, a smile on her lips. In New York, Rory and Jess were sitting on the couch kissing while a movie was playing.

Rory (between 2 kisses): Jess…(he bagan to kiss her on the neck) we should watch the movies…I didn't pay for them for nothing!

Jess (lifting up his head): I know but I can't help…the fact that we now know each other on the…hum…physical…plan just makes me love you even more…I love you so much, Rory, but words can't express how much I love you…

Rory (charmed): Well in that cas, show it to me in a better way…

Jess smiled to her and kissed her with all his passion and his love. They laid down on the couch…a few hours later, Rory had to leave for work conterheartedly. Jess took the opportunity to do some shopping….
