Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls. I just LOVE the show, and story line. It's great, with great actors. So again I do NOT own Gilmore Girls.
Rory lay in bed staring at the ceiling. She was thinking about the way Jess asking her what she was doing in her life, made her feel. Frankly it made her feel pretty bad. The fact she was fighting with her mom, living with her grandparents. She knew she had to change it. So she did.
(Flashback)
"Grandma, Grandpa. I've decided to move out."
"What Rory? No you can't!" Emily Gilmore nearly screamed.
"Yes I am. I have to. Luke is going to let me move into he's apartment, for now. Since he's living with mom anyway. Please understand. I really appreciate every thing you have done for me. But I have to move out, it's the only way I'll get my life back in order."
Later that evening
"Really Luke, thanks for letting me stay here." Rory said hugging Luke, then hugging her mom.
"It's no problem Rory." Luke answered.
"We're just glad to have you home, kid. Hey now you can help me start planning our wedding." Lorelai exclaimed. (A/N: Luke didn't find out he has a kid, it never happened, and Christopher never came back. Luke and Lorelai deserve to be happy, together!)
"It's good to be back mom."
(Flash back ends)
Rory rolled over and looked at the alarm clock. 1:30 a.m. It had been one the day before when she went to talk to Logan.
(Flashback)
Logan opened his door to find a slightly nerves Rory standing on the other side.
"Hey, Ace. Come on in."
"Thanks. Look I wanted to apologize for the fight the other night. I shouldn't have yelled at you."
"Ah, it's okay." He moved in to kiss her, but was stopped by her hand on his chest.
"Sorry, but I didn't come here for that. I came to say I'm sorry, and that I've talked to the Dean, and I'm coming back to school. Oh, and I moved back to Stars Hollow. For now anyway."
Right after that, she'd left. Without even kissing or so much as hugging him once.
(Flashback ends)
With a slight sigh, she throw back the covers, and walked into the bathroom. She splashed some cold water in her face, then glanced at her reflection in the mirror. It was similar to the way her reflection had looked in the glass door to 'Marasance Publishing' (A/N sorry didn't know they didn't tell the name, so I made up a lame one.). That morning.
(Flashback)
"Hi I'm Matt. Can I help you?"
"Uh, yeah. I think. Is Jess Marino working?" Rory stammered.
"Yea, he's in the back. Hold on a sec."
The young man went through the door leading to the back, and a few minutes later Jess came out.
"Rory! Well this is a surprise."
"Good surprise, or bad surprise?"
"Good. So what can I do for ya?"
"I wanted to thank you."
"Thank me? For what?"
"Forcing me to look at my life. In a way only you could. Causing me to realize, I had to straighten it back out, before I got to far gone, that I wouldn't have been able to fix it."
"So this means..."
"I'm not fighting with mom any more. I moved out of my grandparents pool house, and into Luke's apartment above the diner, since he's living with mom any way. And I'm going back to school. Oh, and I got a job! Working at the "Stanford Gazette." It's a newspaper. He didn't want to hire me at first, but I was persistent. So I got the job."
"Rory that's great!"
With a smile, Rory throw her arms around Jess' neck and hugged him, burring her face in his shoulder. With a smile of his own, he slipped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. After a few minutes, she pulled back and went to say something, but was stopped by his lips on hers. An act that stirred up old, strong emotions in the both of them.
Once Rory heard the small moan that escaped her, from the effect Jess was having on her. She realized what she was doing, and pushed away from Jess.
"Rory..."
"I have a boyfriend!" With that she run from the building.
(Flashback ends)
"Rory! Come back to bed!"
Rory stepped out of the bathroom, and leaned against the door frame. Watching the man who lay in the bed, wearing only boxers, a blanket to his waist. He raised himself up on one elbow. With the other arm, he pulled back the cover on her side of the bed, and patted it.
"Come 'ere, babe."
(Flashback)
"Mom, I have a problem!" Rory exclaimed coming into the diner and sitting down beside, Lorelai.
"What's the matter kid? Oh and have I mentioned I've missed this. You coming to me with problems."
"I went to see Jess today. To thank him, ya know. And he kissed me."
"Oh, my Jess kissed you. That's a problem how?"
"I kissed him back. And I so enjoyed it. I...I.. Think I might still be in love with him."
"Okay, I can see where your problem lyes. Trying to choose between Jess and Logan. Am I right?"
"I, I, don't know mom."
"All right kid. So, Jess screwed up a lot. And I know I didn't like him. But, I do, know he's changed. From what Luke's told me, he's doing really well for himself. Getting his life in line. Grown up, so to speck. Something I'm not so sure Logan is capable of. Think about it Rory, so I didn't like Jess. But, with him you never, got drunk, stole a yacht. Dropped out of school and moved in with Emily Gilmore. I know you care about Logan a great deal. But do you love him?"
"I, don't know." Rory whispered.
"Do you love Jess?"
"I think I do."
"Well, kid. Frankly I think, deep down you've already made up your mind. You just have to look inside yourself and find the answer for yourself."
"Are you sure you can't choose for me?"
"Sorry kid. It's your chose, and you got ta make it."
Rory hugged her mother, then went upstairs to think.
(Flashback ends)
With a smile, Rory crossed the room, and slid back into bed. And into the waiting arms. How she loved his arms. They was so strong, and comforting. She felt safe with him. She felt his body heat radiating of him, and it warmed her completely. She could also feel his love for her, it radiated more so, then the heat.
"What's up, babe?" He whispered into her hair.
"Just thinking. About everything that's been happening lately."
"Are you happy with you decision?"
She looked up into his eyes, and saw all the love that was in them. "Yes, I'm incredibly happy."
(Flashback)
Rory's knock was of both, impatience and nervousness. She could hear someone moving inside, heading to the door, and calling that they'd be right there. Yet she didn't stop knocking. She was afraid if she did, she'd lose her nerve, and run.
"Knock of that, stupid knockin..." He didn't get a chance to finish. Rory crushed her lips into his. Pushing him back into the apartment. He kicked the door shut, and backed her against it, pressing close into her.
After a few minutes he pulled back from the kiss, but stayed pressed to her. His hands placed on the door, on either side of her head.
"What was that for, beautiful?" He asked huskily.
"I've made my decision. It's you. It's always been you, and it always well be you. You know me, you can read me. And you push me. You won't just let me settle, you make me want better, be better. You said I was your inspiration. Well, your mine." Again she pressed her lips to his.
"Are you going to run away this time?"
"No, I'm yours."
"What about pretty boy? I'm not going to share."
"It's over. I called him on my way here, and told him it was over. Cause I know I don't love him. I don't think I even liked him more then just attracted lust. But you..."
"Yes?" He leaned forward and kissed her neck, electing a moan from her.
"I...I..I love you, Jess Marino. I want to be with you, for the rest of my life. If you'll have me. I want ..."
"I love you, too Rory Gilmore. I want to be with you, for ever. I'd be stupid not to. But, first, aren't you lustfully attracted to me?" Again he brought his lips down to her neck, only this time he playfully bit.
Rory gasped, then moaned as she dug her nails into the back of his neck.
"I'm going to assume that's a yes." He laughed softly, his warm breath tickling her neck, causing her to giggle. "So, what was that last thing, you started to say you wanted?"
"I, want you " she whispered.
"Say that again" he replied rasing his head, to look into her eyes, slightly shocked.
"I said I want you. I want you to take me into the bed room and make love to me." This time she spoke a little louder.
"Are you sure, that's really what you want?"
"More then anything." She pressed her lips onto his, and ran her fingers through his hair.
Nodding into her kiss, he slipped one arm under her legs, and the other around her back, and picked her up. He carried her into his bed room, and gently placed her on his bed.
(Flashback ends)
"Can we stay like this forever?" Rory asked Jess' chest.
"We can stay together forever. But we both have work, and you have school."
Rory sighed and snuggled closer into him. "I love you."
"I love you, too. I think I'm going to write another book."
"Yeah, what about?" She whispered sleepily.
"Longing love, and young lovers."
"And what would you call it?"
"Oh I was thinking, something like 'Rory'." He raised her chin, and softly kissed her lips. Then leaned back on the bed.
"That's a good name."
"You think?" He laughed, pulling the covers up over them both, and tucking them under Rory's chin.
She placed her head on his chest, and snuggled into his side. "I think I'm going to enjoy waking up every morning, in your arms."
"Every morning? Saying you want to move in with me?"
"I..I.. Didn't mean it like that. I just mean..."
"I think us living together is a good idea," he interrupted. "You know I've been thinking about going back to school. The local collage. Get a degree in writing, or something."
"I think that's a great idea. If it's what you want. Then, you've got my support."
"Good to know. But right now I think we should sleep."
a/n sorry my ending sucked so I've changed it to a wip and I'm going to write a new one, bear with me plz.
