"RORY IM GONNA GET YOU FOR THAT!" he said, wiping the snow from his face. Looking up with a mysterious grin he lunged and grabbed her feet taking her down with him. She screamed as he put snow down her back.

"Oh, Jess Mariano I dislike you very much right now," she stated matter of factly, hiding the smile in her eyes by staring at her shoes.

He arched his eyebrow, "Oh yeah, Rory Gilmore, what are you gonna do about it? Read me Ayn Rand and scald me with coffee? I think not!" And with that he swiftly picked her up and headed for the bridge.

"Jess, Jess, NO! Put me down!" she wriggled in his arms, secretly loving every minute. He put her down still inches from her face. He stared at her lips. Lips that had taunted him since he moved to Stars Hollow. He started to move his hands to hers, but she shifted.

"Jess... Jess... I cant... Dean. Just... wait..." She tried to explain herself, stumbling over her words. She thought about it for a second. Things needed to change.

"Rory I –" whatever he was about to say quickly left his mind as she pressed her lips to his. Oh my God Rory Gilmore is kissing me . . . what am I going to do? Oh! Kiss her back. Jeeze Marino get with it!

Jess depend the kiss, he didn't know it but his world was not the only one spinning. Rory pulled back a little and opened her eyes. Jess opened his as well and met her hazy gaze. She saw in his eyes, what she knew was in her heart. There was more here than just friends.

He hoped she didn't think he made a mistake. She couldn't regret it not now. Not that he had finally tasted her and he couldn't get enough.

"Huh," was all she said, mocking his usual monosyllabic nature. He smirked and kissed her deep with passion and care.

They tumbled into the snow, not caring if it was wet at that moment.

When the finally broke apart 15 minutes later, Jess was the first to break the silence.

"We didn't build our snowman yet," he said, "and that was the reason for our venture out tonight... not that im complaining or anything." He smirked.

"Your right, lets get started then," She hopped up and gave him a swift peck on the lips and before he could respond, was already putting down the bottom part of the snowman.

She was next to break the silence, "Tomorrow" she stated simply.

"Tomorrow what? Tomorrow is Saturday, actually... right now is Saturday... Saturday the day of sleeping in and doing the ting you cant do Monday through friday..." he rambled imitating her, with lots of coffee in her system. She glared at him, then made a snow ball and hit him square in the face.

"RORY! I thought we called it even!" he said with an unhappy smirk on his face.

She stuck out her tongue at him, "Fine, but I meant im going to break up with Dean tomorrow. I meant we can tell mom and Luke about us tomorrow."

"Us?" he asked, making her turn a darker pink, and not from the cold this time.

"I just... I just thought... that.. .since we... and..." she was interrupted by his lips on hers, silencing her.

"Ok. Us. Rory?" He said, putting the head on their snowman, "Rory, look at me, im here now, you have me now. I'm here now. And im not going anywhere. Even bag boy can't chase me away now."

"Thanks Dodger," and with that he kissed her on the lips, but pulled away abruptly.

"I think our friend here needs a nose and eyes don't you?" he asked pulling the bag containing the rest of the snowman. They put the eyes and hat and scarf on him quickly and looked at each other.

"Oh, your soaked, come on I'll take you home," he said wrapping an arm around her and starting towards the Gilmore residence.

They walked back to her house a comfortable silence. Before they got to the porch he turned to her wrapping both arms around her. He kissed her jaw line until he got to her lips. And gave her one final kiss.

"Until tomorrow..." he said looking in her eyes.

"Until today, Dodger," she said and walked up the porch and slid into the house silently, "Bye Jess" she whispered out of the window.

"Sweet dreams," she barely heard, as she leaned against the window sill.

She had a feeling she was going to.

Jess walked away in a daze only someone you were in love with could give. Love? Jess thought to himself, is that what this is? He wasn't sure. He had never really gotten love from Liz. Which only ended up forcing him into the streets, doing God knows what, with god knows who. Then Liz had sent him to Luke, who, may have been the only person that ever really cared about his grades, and well being on a day to day basis. But Rory, she was something else. With her blue eyes that could see straight through the walls he tried to put up, and the way her simple touch could send him whirling through a world he had never been. Yeah, he was in love with Rory Gilmore.

Rory flopped in her bed and sighed happily. She had finally gotten what she wanted since Jess came to town. When she was with jess she knew it wasn't just a physical attraction. Mentally, she wanted to sit with him for hours. She wanted to debate Ayn Rand and Hemingway for hours on end. She never could do that with Dean.

Dean.

She cursed to herself. How could she hurt Dean like this? She thought at one time, she loved him. She felt horrible for an instant. Dean had been nothing but a sweet and caring boyfriend since they started dating. But maybe that wasn't what she needed. Rory needed someone that was a challenge. Someone that would maybe make it hard. Someone that would love books and music and love her for who she was. She needed Jess.

They both settled into their separate beds, unaware they were both not going to sleep well that night, while thoughts of each other swam thorough their heads.

Rory moaned and rolled out of bed. This wasn't going to be the best day ever. She had an agenda today that looked like a hit list for Kirk. She staggered out of her room and saw a note on the coffee pot, and smiled at her moms weird ways. She read the note.

Rory,

Had to go to the Inn for the day. Left money for Luke's, call me later.

Love ya, mom

Rory sighed and walked back into her room and got ready for the day.

Twenty minutes later there was a knock at the door. Rory walked to the door to see a tall, angry figure standing there.
