Jess closed the door to the apartment after Rory followed him in.
"Sometimes Lorelai can over share." Jess stated.
"She means well and she meant to embarrass Luke, not you."
"Right. I presume you want to share a bed, because Luke's has been empty since you left."
"You presume correctly." Rory smiled and sat down on the couch.
"Do you want anything to drink?" Jess offered.
"Trust me if I drink anymore I'll be up going to the bathroom all night."
"No more liquids for you." Jess said.
"I just realised something."
"You're going to have to deal with the town tomorrow?" Jess guessed.
"No, well yes, but I don't have anything to wear to bed." Jess raised his eyebrows. "Jess."
"I'll lend you something." Jess offered. "As you can tell by all the boxes, all my stuff came today."
"Thanks."
"Want to watch TV?" He suggested.
"Sure. Any idea what's on?"
"Not a clue."
"There has to be something mock worthy on." Rory stated.
"Isn't there always?"
GG
"What do you think?" Rory asked as she stood in the door way to the bathroom dressed in a pair of Jess's boxer shorts and Metallica t-shirt.
"Looks better on you that it does me." Jess stated.
"I might have to steal more of your clothes in future."
"Mi closet su closet." Jess said. "I don't know the Spanish for closet."
"Armario." Rory supplied. "Mi armario, su armario."
"I don't think I'd want to wear anything in your closet, but thanks for offering."
"Funny." Rory rolled her eyes.
"Want to go to bed?" He suggested.
"You might want to get out of the jeans first." Rory suggested.
"I've slept in them before. Someone I know fell asleep on me."
"I don't know who you mean." Rory tried to look innocent.
"I bet you don't." He wrapped his arms around and then kissed her. "Minty."
"I just brushed my teeth."
"You borrowed my toothbrush?" He guessed. "How exactly did you know it was mine and not Luke's?"
"Actually I used the pink sparkly one; I guessed it was Mom's. Luke doesn't look like the type to have a pink toothbrush."
"And I do?"
"Well…" Rory teased.
"Thanks."
"Get changed."
"Yes ma'am."
"Don't call me ma'am." Rory told him.
"Okay."
"Can I borrow a book?"
"Help yourself." Jess told her. "There's actually a box labelled 'Lend to Rory' but it's under a stack of other boxes and you can't lift them."
"How many books are in that box?"
"Quite a few. Found a good bookshop in New York."
"Bookshops are always good." Rory smiled. "Do they have notes in the margins?"
"Of course. I added some notes to the books I borrowed from you."
"Just out of curiosity where did you get that book of fairy tales from? It doesn't exactly seem like your type of book."
"I've had it since I was a kid." Jess shrugged. "I learnt to read from it."
"That's sweet."
"There's this British kid's book you should read, it's called 'Ten in a Bed', it's about this girl Dinah Price every night when she goes to bed there is a different fairy tale character in her bed, the three bears, the wicked witch, giant. She has to tell them a fairy tale that will paint them in a good light, so you have the three bears going to Goldilocks house and eating her food and so on."
"Where did you find that book?" Rory asked.
"Lily."
"Who is Lily?" Rory queried.
"Jimmy's girlfriend's daughter. She reads as much as we do. I'm going to change."
