A/N:Thank you guys so much for the reviews!
mandeeangel: patience is a virtue ;-)
shiloh: Wellt, if you hate jess this might not be the right ff for you. Because I happen to like Dean, I just don't like to see him together with Rory.
micha: the idea is not bad, but unfortunately this story is already 15 chapters long, so I can tell you, it's not going to be that easy.

5. Good Morning Lover!

Jess softly kissed Rory and put his arms around her. He lay down on the bed with her and slowly released her from her shirt, while he covered her whole body with butterfly kisses.

Rory stopped Jess for a moment just to look at him.

„You're back" she said softly. Then after a little while „I love you"

But he didn't answer. He just sat there, quiet, not saying anything.

„Jess?" Rory was a little frightened

„Jess, what's…?" Rory tried to brush over Jess' cheek with her fingers, but Jess stopped her halfway and gently put her hand on the blanket. He smiled.

Then he stood up and just went away.

Everything around Rory began to twist.

No Jess, don't leave me, not again!

Rory fluttered in her sleep and suddenly her eyes went open. It had just been a dream, just a stupid dream. She tried to fight the disappointment that grew in her, the wanted to forget him, not have him back.

She immediately had closed her eyes again, due to the stabbing pain in her head.

Rory turned around in her bed, planning to just fall asleep again, when she noticed that she wasn't alone in her bed.

Now she wasn't caring about her headache anymore, and glared at the person next to her, obviously still fast asleep.

It was Dean.

Rory shook Dean's shoulder, to wake him up, and when he opened his eyes he was so startled that he almost fell out of Rory's bed.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

„Me? What are you doing here? This is my bed after all!"

„God, I don't know, I don't remember anything. But I'm fully dressed, and" he let his eyes wander over Rory „you seem like you are too, so, that's a good sign, right?"

„Yeah, you're right, I mean, if we really, no, nothing happened, definitely!"

Rory jumped out of bed and went straight out of the room.

Dean used the time of Rory's absence to gather his things, and when he really considered just getting out the window she came back.

„I think I'm gonna go." Dean said slightly embarrassed.

„Yeah, you're better off not being in the room when my mom comes down."

„Then I guess, I'll see you!"

„Ok, bye"

When Dean closed the door behind him Rory slid down the wall. You could hear her sobbing, although the sound was muffled by her hands she had buried her face in.

What the hell is wrong with me?

What's all this for?

What have I done to be punished this way, I just want to forget him!

And why was Dean lying in my bed?

The whole last night was a blur, the final thing se could remember was that someone had put her in a bed, but after that everything was blank.

Rory dried her tears and stood up, she really needed coffee right now.

Diner

Oh my God, where am I?

But then Lorelai remembered. Se was at Luke's.

She was lying in Luke's bed.

And she was naked.

She went to Luke the night before, and now she was lying in his bed, naked, but where was Luke?

The noise from the morning rush was carried upstairs, and Lorelai just decided to get dressed and head down.

And there he was.

Behind the counter, passing orders to Cesar and making coffee. She saw him in exactly this position so many times before, but there was something special about this time. This wasn't just Luke there, this was her Luke.

He wasn't just her best friend anymore, but her boyfriend.

Smiling gleefully she joined Luke behind the counter and gave him a peck on the cheek.

„Good Morning!" she said grinning

„Hey, slept well?" Even Luke couldn't hide how happy he was.

„Like a log, I should sleep in your bed more often." Lorelai winked.

„That can be arranged."

The whole time they didn't notice the stares that were shot at them, but when Lorelai took at seat at the counter and looked around the diner, everybody attempted to look like they were in the middle of a conversation.

„Luke, you should take an entrance-fee, or raise the prices from now on, it seems we're Stars Hollow's newest attraction."

Luke also noticed all the forced conversations and smirked at Lorelai.

„Good idea"

Rory walked into the diner, immediately running over to her mom.

„Since when do you get up so early?" Rory asked sipping at her mother's coffee.

„Hey, mine, and, technically, I didn't get up early."

„You didn't?" Rory asked confused

„No actually, I got up about five minutes ago." Lorelai said, first looking at her hands and then glancing at Luke.

„But how did you manage to…oh" Now she saw what was going on. „Then I think, I'm just going to go, I wanted to stop by Lane anyway, so I'll just let you two turtledoves alone." Rory so badly wanted to talk to Lorelai, but when she saw her so happy, she just couldn't, she didn't want her to worry about anything at the moment, and she deserved to be just happy.

Lorelai was a little worried, Rory was obviously disappointed, but she was also on her way out already, so there was nothing she could do.

„Ok, hon."

Lane opened the door before Rory could even raise her hand to ring.

„Come on in, quick, my mom might see you!"

After the two of them had hided in Lane's closet, Rory could finally speak.

"Ok, I got up with a terrible headache today."

„Ms Patty's punch?"

Rory just nodded.

„So, I wake up, having a terrible headache, and I notice, I am not the only one lying in my bed."

Lane's eyes widened. „Who was it? Please tell me it wasn't Kirk."

„Ew, no not Kirk, it was Dean"

„Oh." Lane was silent for a moment. „And did you two, you know?"

„No, I mean, I hope not. We were both with all our clothes on, and in the stage of drunk we were last night, it would be impossible to have taken them off, and then back on, right?" Now it sounded logically to her, too. She couldn't have slept with Dean.

Rory let out a relieved sigh.

Lane hadn't said a word.

„Everything okay?"

„I'm just picturing you, waking up in your bed, with Dean next to you" Lane said deadpan, but then bursted out laughing.

„That's so not funny" Rory said but then visualized it, too, joining her friend laughing.

Dean

Dean had unlocked the door quietly but after closing it carefully, Clara just appeared in front of him.

„Where have you been all night?" she asked, acting totally innocent.

„Out" he just answered. „It's none of your business where I was, so don't bother to ask. And don't try to give me a lecture, I'm older than you" he said, like Clara had to be reminded of that.

„You better tell me, otherwise you'd have to tell Mom and Dad" Clara grinned devilish.

„You little…" Dean just groaned. „Later, ok? After I officially stood up." Without waiting for an answer he rushed past her, upstairs.

He went straight into the bathroom to take a cold shower. His head was pounding, while the memories of the last night slowly came back into hid mind.

They had been at the Gazebo.

There had been a lot of drinking.

Then all of a sudden he had carried Rory.

The next memory was being roused by Rory because he was lying in her bed.

But what had happened in between? Did they kiss? Was there anything else?

Dean caught himself hoping more would have happened. He knew they had agreed on just being friends, and he didn't want to have feelings for her like this. After all, Lindsay only had been gone for two month. He couldn't just move on so fast!

But he couldn't help it, no matter how hard he tried.
