Chapter OneThe Arrival

The doorbell rang. Rory was making out with Logan on the sofa.

"Do you have to get that?"

"Yeah," Rory replied. The two were panting heavily. Logan followed Rory to the door.

"Oh my God." Rory slammed the door.

"Who? Who was it?" Logan asked. Rory tried to go back but Logan was standing in the way so she paced with her hand on her forehead Rory opened the door again. He stood there.

"Hello."

"J-Jess," Rory cleared her throat, "Wha-What are you doing here?"

"Who's that," he asked

"We're on a date," Rory explained.

"Oh, I see. I'll come back later."

"Good."

"Good?" Jess had that little look in his eye.

"I mean, good that you're leaving."

"Oh," he eyed Logan, "So now your dating rich guy's huh. I never thought of you being interested in rich guys."

"Jess."

"Does she strike you as the rich guy type?" He asked Logan.

"Bye." Rory closed the door, and Logan stared at her.

"Jess, let me guess, a former boyfriend?"

"The keyword is 'former'," Rory replied.

Rory kissed Logan. He grabbed her hands. They were warm and she felt safe, yet Jess bothered her. He was supposed to forget about her. He was supposed to leave and not come back. She didn't want to get on this emotional roller coaster again. If she really loved Logan she wouldn't worry about it, right?

Rory and Logan were back on the sofa, but it wasn't long before Logan was on top of Rory. Rory began to pull away.

"Logan, I," Rory didn't know what to say. Her mind said yes but her heart said no.

"You still have feelings for Jess?"

"No! I. It's just. I think we should go somewhere else."

"Where?"

"Follow me," Logan kissed Rory and stood up. Rory grabbed his hand and she led him to her mother's room.

"Isn't this your mother's room?"

"Yes, but she has a bigger bed than I do."

"I see." Logan wrapped his arms around Rory's waist.

"Wow."

"What?"

"Your eyes. They're, They're intense. They're deep. You have a strong past. Don't you Rory?"

"Well I can't deny that." Logan smiled. He kissed Rory. They slowly lowered onto the bed.

THE NEXT MORNING

Rory opened her eyes. The sun was shining through the curtains in her face. Logan was asleep next to her. She kissed him. Logan smiled.

"Morning sleeping beauty," Rory joked.

"Morning handsome prince," Logan returned.

Rory got up and got dressed and walked down stairs. She grabbed two pop tarts and stuck them in the toaster. Logan came down after he had dressed. Rory had sat down with the pop tarts on a plate.

"So is a pop tart ok?"

"Well, I usually have bacon and eggs but this will do. You need to brush your hair," Logan laughed.

"And you need to wash my mother's pillowcase. You drooled all over it."

"She won't notice."

"Yes, she will. She knows all." Rory was just praying Babette wouldn't see that Logan's car was parked outside her house all night.

"You should go," Rory announced.

"Is something wrong?"

"Yes...I mean no...It's just my neighbor she'll see your car and, well. If she knows, the world knows," Rory explained.

"Smart thinking are you sure you haven't done this before?" Rory glared at Logan. She knew it was a joke, but she still glared. She hadn't told Logan that she had slept with Dean.

"Rory it was a joke!" Just then the phone rang.

"You should go," Rory tried at last.

"I'm leaving." He kissed her and he was gone.

"Danes residence," Rory said into the phone.

"Yes I would like to speak to Rory Danes," her mother said in a fancy voice.

"This is she," Rory played along.

"How's it going? Are ya watching the fort?"

"Yes."

"No, boys?"

"No," Rory responded calmly. She knew the question was coming.

"I don't have to call Babette do I?"

"Noo, mom I'm fine really," Rory's voice cracked.

"Okay, well I'll be home in a week, love you."

"Love you too. Bye."

Rory wanted to go to Luke's, but she wasn't sure if Jess was there. She decided to stick it out at home and study. Luke and Lorelai were on their honeymoon. It was Saturday morning. She didn't have time to study on Friday because of her date with Logan.

Rory tried studying but her mind just kept wandering. She tried watching television and listening to music but she couldn't stop thinking about Jess. Why is he here? Rory didn't even want to know. She looked for Jess at the Wedding but she couldn't find him. She didn't get a chance to ask Liz. Maybe she just didn't see him. All the guys were in a tux. Easily could have been missed.

Rory drifted off to sleep, but was awakened two hours later by the doorbell. Tired and unaware of her actions Rory walked to the door and answered it. It was Jess.

"Is your mom home?" Rory was stunned.

Out of all the questions he could have asked her. Out of all the questions she had for him, he asks "is your mom home!"

"She's on her honeymoon with Luke," Rory responded impatiently. In the blink of an eye he closed the door with his foot, pinned her against the wall and kissed her. Rory tried but she couldn't refuse. Instantly she melted. She missed having him kiss her. His kisses were different than anyone else's. More intense. Deeper. Like her eyes. Jess stopped.

"We need to talk," he said. Jess grabbed Rory's hand and brought her over to the sofa. He wasn't sure if she'd want to sit or not. She just stood there silently.

"I love you," he said with out hesitation.

"You made that pretty clear before. I think you're the only man I've ever truly loved, but I can't leave everyone behind like you did to me."

"Sleep with me." Rory was stunned. She searched for the right words to say.

"Jess I-I..."

"Come on Rory. You said I was the only boyfriend you ever loved, yet you slept with every one of them but me," Jess tried to persuade her.

Rory was at a loss for words. She mouthed the word "what" three times, but Jess kissed her. Rory was under his spell. They continued kissing. They were trying to breathe heavily out of their noses. Some how it worked and the two were able to stay in a lip lock for 5 minutes. Finally they stopped. Jess began to unbutton Rory's white blouse. He wasn't sure if Rory would stop him or not. She didn't. 3...4...5...6...7. Rory let her top fall down off her wrists. Rory placed her arms around his neck. His hands slid down to her waist. Jess leaned in to kiss Rory again but she turned her head and he kissed her cheek.

"Jess," Rory began, "the couch isn't big enough. Follow me."

Rory led Jess into her mother's room. They resumed their positions and started to make out again. Jess reached behind Rory and unzipped her skirt. Jess watched as it dropped to her ankles. Rory stepped out of it and kicked it aside. Jess stripped of his shirt followed by his pants. After removing the remainder of their clothing they slipped under the unmade covers. Jess rolled on top of Rory and kissed her. He gradually moved his way to her neck and back up again.

"Jess," Rory said after a while. They were lying side by side staring into each other's eyes.

"Yes."

"Why weren't you at the wedding?"

"I was."

"I didn't see you."

"I-I was avoiding you."

"Why," Rory couldn't help but ask. She sounded like a 6-year old.

"I just didn't want it to be awkward for you," he responded. He was telling half the truth. He wanted his visit to be a surprise.

"I guess it would have been," Rory admitted. She rolled over onto her back. Jess stared. Her hair had grown back to normal length, which he liked. She looked exactly like she did when she refused to sleep with him the first time.

Suddenly she sat up.

"How did you know I slept with Logan?" Rory asked angrily

"Because he had your lipstick on his lips."

"And..."

"And when I swung by her earlier his car was parked outside," he truthfully admitted.

"Oh." Rory lied back down. Slowly the two drifted off to dream land and for once Jess didn't dream about Rory. He didn't have to they were together, or so he thought.
