AN: I'm giving you 2 chapters right away because I sucked and didn't write anything. I promised mid June or earlier and I lied. If you read my profile though, I think you'll understand. I really appreciate the reviews you've all sent. They made me start writing again! This is for you guys!
Disclaimer:Don't own Gilmore Girls...Anyone want to join my pity party?
Jess and Rory were sitting on the couch close together when Sasha and Lily returned. Jess's arm was around Rory's shoulders and she was curled tightly into his side.
"You're still here!"Lily exclaimed.
"Yep."Rory said softly, still happy to be with Jess again.
"Are you staying?"she asked and plopped beside her on the couch.
"For another few days."
"Why not longer?"
"Well, my mom and I are going backpacking through Europe this summer."
"Can't you stay longer?"Lily pleaded.
"Why?"Rory asked.
"Cuz Jess likes you and you can take my side about Hemingway."
"Don't start."Jess warned.
Sasha laughed."Yeah, you two, don't start. Rory, if your mother doesn't mind you could stay here this summer. We have an extra bedroom."
"I don't know. I mean this is my graduation present from her and I owe her."
"You could stay here and then go later this summer!"Lily exclaimed.
Rory bit her lip."I don't know."
"You're welcome, Rory. You and Jess talk it over and you talk to your mom. Either way you're welcome here anytime."
"Wanna go for a walk?"Jess asked.
"Sure."Rory stood and Jess linked his fingers through hers as they headed outside and down the street.
The elderly lady was across the street."Oh, dear, I see you met the family!"
"Um, yeah."Rory smiled."Walk faster."she whispered to Jess and they sped up.
"What was that about?"he laughed as they rounded the corner.
"Don't ask. Where are we going?"
"Beach."he answered."you gonna stay?"
"I want to. But I owe my mom."
"So stay here until the end of July. Then you can go backpacking in August."he suggested.
"I could. Maybe mid July. Then I could have half the summer with her."
"It's better then no time together."
"Yeah."Rory knew that statement meant he was planning on staying in California. She wondered how that would affect their relationship. While Sasha and Lily were gone they had decided to be boyfriend and girlfriend again.
"You should call Lorelai."
"I will when I get back to my hotel."
"You should stay in our guest room. It's cheaper and more comfortable."Jess offered.
"I'll think about it."
"How did you get the money to come out here anyways?"
"I worked my butt off for the past two months thats how. I got a job at Andrew's and Doose's."
"Doose's?"Jess smirked.
"Stop it."she warned.
"Were you a baggirl?"
"No.Cashier."she frowned.
"Did you wear one of those cute little green aprons Taylor loves?"
"Shut up."
"You did! I can just picture you in one of those."he teased.
"I looked better in it than Dean did."she said and he instantly stopped.
"He still works there?"
"No. But that apron always looked ridiculous on him. I even thought so when I was dating him."
"It must have looked amazing on you."
"Sure did. i was ready to hit the runways in Mulan and Paris."
"I'll bet."he laughed and they sat down in the sand.
"I mean Rory's the perfect model name."
"Sure is."
"It got me into a club once for my mom's bachelorette party."
"Your mom's not married."
"She was engaged. She backed out."
"Luke's got a thing for her."
"She's got a thing for Luke."
"It's obvious."
"Both ways, pal."Rory defended her mom.
"I know. So you gonna stay?"he brought up the topic again.
"I don't know, Jess. I'll think about it and call my mom."Rory sighed softly and leaned against his shoulder to watch the waves crash against the shore.
AN: Okay, so like you noticed I haven't written for a while. I probably lost all my reader support cuz I used my sucking at life skills. Sorry, I've entered a 12 step program. Anyways, if you read this and want me to continue it, send me a review! PLEASE! (I know I'm begging.) It taked 15 seconds, tops and without reviews I won't continue the story...okay, so you need more to make you review? How bout a little peek at whats to come?
Everything seems fine between Jess and Rory...for now. But I have a few things up my sleeve that won't make you very happy. Something along the lines of...Rory meeting an exotic boy while in Europe with Lor? Hmm...and Jess is still in Cali with the temptations of beach babes and surfer chicks all around him...Did I intrigue you enough to get you to review? I guess I'll find out!
