Jess and Logan stopped fighting. Jess cooled down, but Logan was not so easily calmed.
"What on Earth is going on in here?" Lorelai shouted.
"Mom, can you leave us alone. We need to sort out a few things," Rory pleaded. Lorelai reluctantly left the room. Luke followed her.
"Logan, there's no explanation for what you did! You were dating another woman and that's that," Rory said trying to keep her voice even.
"Rebecca and I were not dating. I don't even know how she got your number!" Logan shot back.
"Well, you must have been doing something that made her think you two were in a relationship," Rory said coldly.
"Look, Ace," Logan said, trying to explain himself further, "Rebecca and I were not in a relationship. Well, I mean, sure we went on a few dates, but nothing serious,"
"A few dates?" Rory asked Logan.
"Come on, Ace. Did you really think this long-distance relationship would work?"
"I loved you! I thought you loved me too!"
"I do! It's just hard,"
"Yes it is. It's hard finding out that your boyfriend was cheating on you."
"Come on, Rory! I wasn't cheating on you!"
"You call having a girlfriend named Rebecca not cheating!"
"She was not my girlfriend!" Logan shouted.
"Yes she was. You know it, she knows it. It's a fact!" Rory shouted back.
"Rory, let's leave. Let's just get out of here," Jess said, "You can come back to my apartment for now. Let's just go." He could tell that she was on the verge of losing it. Rory nodded.
"Rory," Logan called after them.
"Logan, just go back to London and to Rebecca. Also, do us both a favor and show her more commitment then you showed me," Rory said then left.
Jess got into the front seat of Rory's car, Rory into the passenger seat. "Jess, I have a question. Would it be okay if I stayed with you for awhile. I don't have any classes until Monday and, even though he said it was mine for the year, I don't really want to stay in Logan's apartment anymore. I guess I'll have to stay at mom's until I can find an apartment near campus."
"Yeah, of course. Stay with me as long as you want!" Jess replied.
"Thanks."
"Do you want me to stop off at Logan's apartment so you can get your things?" Jess asked uncomfortably.
"Yeah, that would be great," Rory replied. She didn't want to go back to his apartment, but she really needed her stuff. They drove a little in silence, but Jess broke the quiet.
"Do you mean it?" he asked.
"What?"
"About me being a better boyfriend?"
"Well, yeah. I did. You've always been there for me when I needed you. You've never done anything to me and have never cheated on me. You have always known what to say when I'm upset and always have time for me. I never really got over you, you know."
"Yeah, me neither."
When they arrived at Logan's apartment, Jess helped Rory carry her things out to the car. It was mostly clothes and books. "We can come get the rest tomorrow," Jess said. Rory nodded.
During one of their trips down to the car, a car pulled up next to Rory's. Logan stepped out. "What are you doing here?" Logan asked, but Rory could tell he was not surprised that they were there.
"I'm just getting my stuff. Come on, Jess, let's go," Rory replied. She and Jess got back into her car and Jess drove them back to his apartment in New York.
"Here, you can take my bed. I'll take the couch," Jess told Rory once at the apartment.
"No, I don't want to intrude any more!" Rory said.
"Please. It's worth it. You're here. That's all I could ask." Rory felt her eyes starting to water. She walked over to Jess and hugged him. He returned her hug with a passionate kiss. They stood there kissing for a long time and Rory felt herself melting into the floor. "This is who I'm meant to be with," Rory thought.
"I love you," she whispered in his ear.
"Rory, just promise me one thing," Jess said to her.
"What?" she inquired.
"Promise me you won't go back to Logan. He's a jerk. You deserve someone better than him."
"Someone like you?" she asked jokingly.
"Well, yeah. I mean, I love you. Always have, always will," he replied, one hundred percent serious. She started to cry. "Did I say something wrong?" he asked her.
"No, no. You're perfect," she said, wiping her eyes.
Jess felt awkward. He didn't know what to say so he decided on, "We should get your stuff from your car." Rory nodded. They moved her stuff from her car to the sitting area of his apartment. Rory watched as Jess set up his bed on the couch. She felt less guilty when the couch turned out to be a pull out couch. He looked at her watching him then looked back at the couch. "Do you want to watch a movie?" he asked. Rory nodded. Jess picked out a movie and then he sat down on the other couch. Rory sat next to him. The two of them ended up falling asleep while watching the movie.
Rory woke up to find her head on Jess's chest and his arm around her shoulder. She raised her head and looked around. Jess felt her move and woke up too. "Good morning," she said to him and smiled.
"Good morning," he replied. Rory sat up and allowed him to stretch. "Do you want to go out for breakfast?" he asked her.
"Sounds great," Rory replied. They walked out of the apartment, down the street to Cosí. There they had a delicious breakfast.
After breakfast, Jess told Rory he had someplace to show her and led her to it. He took her to a bookstore with more books then Rory had seen in any library. "This place is amazing!" Rory gasped.
"Yeah," Jess agreed. After browsing in the store for an hour, Jess had two books and Rory had fifteen. He laughed. "You're definitely the same Rory." He bought the books and then they returned to his apartment.
"How long do you think you'll be spending here?" he asked her once in the apartment. "Oh, don't get me wrong. I want you here. I'm just wondering," he added, seeing the look on her face.
"I can only stay until Monday. I have a class at noon then. I'll have to stay at my mom's until I can find a near-campus apartment. Her house is a bit closer to Yale then yours. I wish I could stay here though," she said.
"Yeah me too."
"Don't worry, I'll come on free days."
"You better." She smiled at him. "So," he said, knowing that he was going to broach an uncomfortable topic, "when do you want to go to Logan's apartment to get the rest of your stuff?"
"I don't know. When he's back in London with Rebecca," Rory replied. She wished they didn't have to talk about anything that involved Logan. "Jess, would it be okay if we talk about something besides Logan?"
Jess nodded and agreed never to mention Logan again.
"I'll get my stuff on Monday," Rory decided.
