"Rory, what are you doing here?" Jess asked, feeling uncomfortable being half naked in front of Rory.
"Shut up," Rory said. She pushed his bare chest and he landed inside of his apartment with Rory. She closed the door behind her and took off her jacket. Jess stood there, watching, not sure of what was going on.
"Rory. What-"
"Shh." Rory put her hands on his chest again, but this time she took her time on tracing his muscles, during which, she watched his face, his gorgeous face. Jess didn't know what to say. He decided not to say anything, because this was like his dream come true. When she was done on his muscles, she put his hands on her hips to give him a signal so that he would make a move. He held his hands there, but still didn't move, if anything was to happen, he wanted Rory to make the first move. Instead, Rory got tired of waiting for a kiss that had taken years to come and lightly brushed her lips against his. When she pulled away Jess stood there in awe. Even though he knew that something was coming, he had forgotten how amazing her lips had tasted. "Me too," Rory said in agreement.
"Shut up." Jess pulled Rory's hips into his own and kissed her lips passionately. She moved her hands from his shoulders to his hair. She had always loved to play with his hair when they made out. Jess pulled his entire body away from hers, trying not to get caught up in the moment. "OK. So, what is this?" He asked, wiping his lips.
"Well, that was us kissing. Was being the operative word,"Rory answered, walking closer to Jess.
Jess just stepped further back until he almost fell onto his couch. Now he held out his arm and Rory stopped. "I know what that was. Why were we kissing? We don't kiss anymore, not for at least, seven years. So, why now? Why at all?"
"I don't know if you noticed this past week that every time I saw you, I hid."
"No, actually I hadn't noticed that. Why did you hide?"
"You said that you were confused. And then I realized that I was confused. I was confused about me and I was confused about you. I didn't know how I felt about you. I want you in my life, Jess."
"How so? Are we kissing and not dating? Are we just kissing this one time? Are we dating? Are we just friends? In what way do you want me to be in your life?" Jess asked, he sat down and took a deep breath.
"I want all of you, Jess. I want your entire soul and your attraction. I simply want us," Rory answered. She felt embarrassed for being so forward, but she didn't regret it.
"Huh," Jess said. He stood up off of the couch and walked forward three steps, but not close enough to kiss her. When Jess made this move, Rory stepped back three steps, now she needed to breathe and relax. They stood apart like this for at least a minute and then Rory moved forward to where she had been standing before. "So, what now?" Jess asked.
"I told you what I wanted, Jess. Now, what do you want?"
"I want everything that I've wanted since the day that I met you."
"Oh. I just need to know one thing. Will you not run away? If we are together and you run away again, I'll never forgive you. I'll never want anything to do with you. You broke my heart, and I don't want to have that feeling ever again."
"I didn't run away to get away from you. If anything, I did it to help you. I was a bad kid, I still am. I have nowhere to run and I broke my own heart when I left you. I loved you, you know that. I wouldn't ask you to run away with me just so that I could run away from you. I love you, Rory. And I am so, so sorry that I hurt you. If you can't believe that, then we can't be together, despite how badly I want it."
Rory walked inches in front of Jess' body. He put his hands around her waist and she put her arms around his neck. Jess took a deep breath and searched Rory's face before pulling her entire body into his and kissed her neck. She took one of her hands and moved his mouth from her neck to her mouth and kissed him more passionately than ever before. Jess laid down on the couch with Rory on top of him. With the TV still running in the background, Jess took off Rory's t-shirt and went back to kissing her. Rory was about to unbutton Jess' jeans when Dave walked into his apartment, kissing Sarah. Rory stopped on the button and Jess gave her back her shirt.
Before Dave and Sarah realized that they were there, Rory had her shirt on and Jess was sitting next to her on the couch. Jess coughed to get their attention and they stopped kissing and Sarah said, "Rory, what are you doing here?"
"Nothing, I'm just going to leave now. Bye Dave, bye Jess," Rory answered. When she stood up, she walked out of the apartment with her back to the door and gave Jess a signal to meet her outside as soon as possible. Sarah and Dave ignored everything that had just happened and sat down on the couch next to Jess. Rory left the apartment and closed the door behind her.
