Summary: What if Rory hadn't let Jess just walk away in 4th season's episode: 'Nag Himmandi is Where They Found the Gnastic Gospel'? This is my version of what would happen

Chapter Six

I decided to walk. The pub wasn't far away, and I needed the fresh air...desperately. And I got to think about the phone call. Maybe someone was over who hated me with a mighty passion, and he didn't want her to know? Who else could that be but Shane.

Pleased and upset with that answer, I entered the pub with 15 minutes to spare. I had dawdled a little in getting there. I waited to be seated, then I waited for him to show up.

Twenty minutes later, she sees the leather jacket, and the unruly dark hair, with its little curls dangling on his forehead. He always tried to get all his hair out of his face, hence the reason for so much gel, but there was always a little that staye dout of his grasp.

My blue eyes caught his chocolate ones, and they stayed connected until he sat down across from me."So...that was a weird conversation, huh?" I asked, smiling nervously. A small glitter was in my eye, but Jes snever knew it left.

"Yup." Typical Jess. One word answers...

"So...Bob? Nice name choice. A little usual though. Would've liked something a little more...original for a cover up name. And it would be nice if it was a girl name, but whatever..."

"Rory?"

"No. That is my real name! Maybe Parvati would've been nice..." I said thoughtdfully, holding my chin lightly between my index finger and my thumb.

He rolled is eyes, but said nothing. I was silent for a moment, then I spoke up in a soft, yet raspy voice. "Shane was over, wasn't she?"

"What?"

"I mean, that must be the reaosn you called me 'Bob' I mean, even an idiot like Shane couldn't say that the name 'Bob' sounded remotely like 'Rory'..."

"Huh."

"What?"

The wiater came by with the coffee I ordered for me and the water I ordered for Jess. I just didn't want to give him beer...

"Now Shane is an idiot?"

"Oh she always has been!" I said passively, feleing a mean feeling fill my body.

"Huh," he repeated

"What?" I asked yet again

"I thought you just didn't like her. I didn't think you were jealous of her.." The word 'jealous' came out sounding like venom. I became nervous, and butterflies were filling my stomach.

"Jealous? What are you talking about?" My eyes dashed about, looking anywhere but at his eyes.

"Of Shane and Me. I mean, we used to go out, and Shane and I used to go out. Maybe you're feeling like last year is repeating itself, and you have to feel the feelings you used to feel."

I stared for a moment, then let out a word. No, more a noise actually. "Huh."

"What?" We switched places

"How un-Jess like..."

He raised a questioning eyebrow

"You nearly rambled,a nd that is my thing, not yours. You stick to one-worders. Or no-worders in some cases..."

Jess didn't say anything. I opened my mouth, and closed it again, deciding to wait a few minutes. I grabbed my coffee and drank at it. I looked up into Jess's eyes and felt the butterflies. Even though I was sititng, my knees began trembling.

"Jess-"I began. He gave me his attenton. I swallowed hard. Never mind...I said, shaking my head. I couldn't put that burden on him, even though he had down it to me. I didn't think he had moved on off of me...but I just didn't think he could handle it without warning.

"Okay," he said, and sipped at his water. Surprisingly, he didn't call over a waiter and ask for a beer. I was happy about that. But maybe he didn't because we're 18 and this is a public place. But he could definitely pull off a 21 year old...

"So. What has been going on?" I asked

----

It was late when I walked out of the pub. Jess was wlaking besides me. I felt as if a huge bubble had just bursted inside of me. It felt good. I looked over at Jess. He noticed and looked at me.

A smirk crawled onto his face, and I felt myself blushing. "Shall we go?" he asked. I nodded while examining my shoes. "I'll walk you back to your dorm, if you want."

"That would be nice..." I whispered, glancing up at him.

"Alright. Let's go..."

We began wlakign off, and thoughts were spinning inside my head. My mouth opened, and I couldn't keep one thought from escaping. "It's just like a first date! The boy and the girl are all shy, and the boy offers walking the girl home. It's a typical end-of-first-date scene!"

Jess was staring at me with a strange look on his face, an eyebrow raised. The red crawled back onto my cheeks, and I looked to the side and stared across the street.

Neon lights were flashing, and lights were on. The street lamps were dim, just like on this side. I wasn't watchign where I was going, and nearly fell flat face in a ditch.

But Jess caught me. I looked up into his eyes. My bretahing was heavy. Jess was holding me. I wa shovering above a giant ditch, and Jess was holding me. My cheeks were tinged pink, and Jess wasn't Mr. Cool right now either.

He held me for more than I would have thought necessary, but I didn't mind at all. "Thank you," I whispered, staring up at him with my big crystal blue eyes.

"No problem," he whispered back. He held me for another moment, then lifted me up and put me down away from the ditch. My heart was racing now, and my stomach was filled with butterflies. We walked silently the rest of the way. When we reached my dorm, I turned and looked at him.

"This would be the time when the boy would lena in and kiss the girl but suince we aren't going out-" I stopped and stared at him. "Oh I am so sorry! I didn't mean to!" I blushed again and looked down.

"It's okay," he replied in that cool way of his. I looked up. "Really?" I asked earnestly.

"Really," he replied with a nod. I took a deep bretah and smiled."Good."

The next thing that happened was unexpected-especially by Jess. He leane din and softly kisse dmy lips. "Good-bye Rory."

"Bye..." I weakly said, and stared as he walked away. I was happy and surprised he kisse dme, but I was also surprised he knew how to kiss softly. I shrugged and walked into my dorm.

I am an idiot andam hopelessly in love,I thought, and dropped down on the couch.

a/n okay, so there was a little interaction that you were probably all happy about, but just so you know, he only did it because she mentioned kisisng, though he wanted to kiss her, he wouldn't have if she hadn't metioned anything.

Anyway, please review!
