A/N: Okay, I suck. That's all there is to say. I'm SO SORRY for the lack of an update for so long agaaaain! Thanks for the reviews, you guys are fantastic.

They arrived at no set destination hours later: Atlanta, Georgia. It hadn't been planned only because there wasn't really anything exciting in Georgia, but Jess happened to drive past a hotel identical to the Simpson's house and they had no choice.

"What's here, anyway?" Rory had asked when they passed the "Welcome to Georgia" sign

"That!" Jess replied, pointing to the hotel.

"Whoa."

They stumbled into the hotel practically falling, because Jess was playfully pushing Rory around. A tall woman with a pile of something blue on her head, most likely either a mop or hair, yellow face paint, and a green dress was standing at the desk.

"Can I help you?" She asked when Rory and Jess approached her wide-eyed.

"We need a room."

Jess gave her all of his credit card information and then he and Rory headed upstairs.

"That was weird", Rory whispered as they walked up the stairs.

"It's only truly weird if she thinks she really is Marge Simpson."

"You know, I wouldn't be surprised."

Rory took out the key "Marge" had given her downstairs and opened the door to room 7. Lucky number 7.

They both looked around for a few minutes. The suite was spacious and beautiful. There was a kitchen, a bathroom with two sinks, a giant television, a porch, and two twin beds. Jess looked down at one of the beds and then at Rory.

"No, this just isn't going to work", he said smiling wide.

Rory nodded, and also smiling, walked to the other side of one of the beds and pushed it so it collided into the other one, almost knocking Jess over.

"You're strong", he said.

"I can lift a cereal box."

"So", Jess said, "What do you want to do?"

Rory bit her lip and blushed, still smiling her irresistible Rory smile.

"Dunno", she replied softly.

"Huh. Funny; neither do I", Jess was over her now. He reached to take Rory's shirt off, but she grabbed his hand to stop him.

"Jess, come on."

He paused for a second and lifted himself off of Rory.

"Why?"

"Don't you think we should take about this first? I don't want to have sex with you if I can't count on you."

Jess's face was full of an unidentifiable emotion.

"And why can't you count on me?"

"Because I loved you and you just left. You did it twice."

"But that was so I wouldn't hurt you."
"I know."

"I don't see the problem."

"I just- I just need to know…"

"What is it?"

"You're not going to leave me again, are you?"

"No." Jess said this firmly and Rory knew he was serious.

A/N: Yes, I know - SHORT! One of the shortest chapters in the entire story...chapter 7's about the same length, but I'll put that up tomorrow. Chapter 8's much much much longer!

Please review!
