Jess met a pacing Rory on the sidewalk outside of his building, minutes after the incident with Dave and Sarah. "Hi," he said to make Rory stop pacing.
Rory stopped and smiled at Jess. "Hi," she said. He walked over to her and put his left hand on her right hip. "Hi," she said again before she kissed him.
"Yeah," he said once they pulled apart. "What do you want to do now?"
"I think that maybe we should talk about this relationship. If you really want this to happen, I mean."
"I want this. I have always wanted this. Relationship talk it is. Where would you like to talk about this relationship?"
"You're like my cousin," Rory randomly pointed out stepping back from Jess.
"What? We're only step-cousins, not blood. And thats not our fault, it is Luke's and Lorelai's fault. Don't make this weird."
"OK. How about we go back to my place and talk about our relationship?" Rory put the cousin thing in the back of her mind.
"Alright." Jess put his arm around Rory's waist and they walked, with Rory's head rested on Jess' shoulder. "So, how did you know where I live? Stalker?"
"No. Dave was telling Sarah and I overheard. I realized that I had walked by it before and I knew where it is."
"Stalking would have made it so much hotter."
Rory looked up at Jess and hip checked him while they got to Jess' car. "Funny. So do you ever walk anywhere? Or just drive?"
"I walk everywhere during the day, but at night I like to use my car. You know, I think that is so funny that I've never seen you before last week. I've always gone to the Coffee Bean and used the subway on your street. It's weird," Jess said while he pulled onto the street.
"It is kind of weird. You know, now that I think about it, I think I have seen you before. It was only the Wednesday before we saw each other in the subway, but I'm pretty sure it was you. I was walking to that record store that you took me to when I came here my Junior year and I think that it was you I saw walking down into the subway and out of the store. It had to have been you."
"It probably was. I was there on Wednesday a few weeks ago. Why didn't you say anything?"
"Because, I tried hiding from you when I saw you in the subway. And it really didn't click until now that it must have been you."
"Oh, OK," Jess said as he pulled up in front of Rory's building. They got out of his car and now that it was nine-ish, they hoped that Paris was not in the living room. Rory walked into her apartment first to make sure. Paris was in the bathroom or not home because she wasn't in the living room and her bedroom door was open, which it never is. Jess snuck into Rory's room before Paris had the option of seeing him.
