Note: So I haven't been able to pop out a chapter recently...it's been an INSANE week. I have Vacation Bible School at my church and I taught 2nd grade with my friend. And plus after we went out with all the other workers to hang out n stuff. But anyways a very funny coincidence for you all. So I'm signing in kids the other day and turns out there's a Finn and Colin in the Pre-K class. And they're best friends. It made me happy. Thanks for all the reviews! They're much appreciated. I'm not up for leaving replys...I'm exhausted and I have to go out AGAIN soon. But review more! Have a lovely weekend!
A hour later Jess rolls off of Rory onto the blue cotton sheets of her bed in a heavy sweat. He tries to catch his breath while Rory pulls the sheets around herself breathing just as hard. Her eyes are as wide as saucers and she lays on her side to look at Jess.
"I can't feel my legs," she whispers.
He laughs and wonders at how after their recent activity she still looks so naïve. He looks deep in her eyes and sees how scared she is. Of what he doesn't know…but he knows he's just as scared as her.
"Is that a bad thing?" he asks nervously.
She smiles shyly and Jess carefully brushes away her bangs so he can see her face more clearly. The only thing that's lighting the room is the moon and the white light shining on her pale face makes her look like a porcelain doll. Jess forgets to breathe looking at her waiting for an answer. She laughs suddenly at his question and the ringing sounds coming out of her mouth sounds like music to Jess's ears. She stops and he sees a more playful look in her eyes. The awkwardness begins to diminish and they both feel a sense of comfort between them.
"It's definitely not a bad thing…I think I kind of like not feeling my legs," she says playfully now more relaxed and in her element.
Jess smirks at her comment and remarks, "I could tell you liked it with the really loud moans coming out of your mouth."
Rory's eyes widen and she gets up hopping onto Jess hitting him. He laughs as he holds her wrists so she can't deliver any more blows to him. They roll over so that Jess is on top of Rory. They catch each other's eyes and once again time freezes. Rory's breath seems caught in her throat looking at Jess. She feels lightheaded and take the initiative to give into her desires. She easily gets her arm out of Jess's grasp and reaches to the back of his head to pull his head down to hers. Their lips touch and just like the first time their thoughts cloud and their senses take over.
She kisses him lightly while feeling him let go of her arm. She feels cold from his touch and reaches back for his hand intertwining it with hers. The kiss deepens and she moans quietly as she allows his tongue to explore her mouth. A minute later they break apart in need for air and Jess gets off of Rory but pulls her to him. He rests his head on her matted hair while she buries herself in his chest breathing in his cologne wondering where she's smelt it before. But she realizes this is his own unique smell. She realizes how good it feels to be where she is in his arms smelling his cologne.
She realizes how much she wants him to make her legs numb all the time.
She smiles contentedly to herself feeling the waves of sleep come over her. Her breaths become softer and her eyelids droop as she falls asleep. Jess looks down at her and smiles at how peaceful she looks. He feels different lying there in a foreign bed with an even more foreign girl in his arms. But he knows that with time he wants to make things familiar. He wants to know everything about this girl. He wants to figure out the mystery. And most of all he wants to make her legs numb all the time. He pulls her closer and kisses her hair and watches her sleep. Pretty soon the same sleepy feeling washes over him as he falls asleep without worry for the first time in a year.
The next morning Rory stretches out on her bed expecting to hit another body and finds that she doesn't. She looks around confused at the floor still seeing male clothing scattered but no male. She gets up tiredly and grabs her wifebeater and underwear to put on. She quietly makes her way around her apartment searching for Jess. But the sounds of frying and clattered pans lead her to the kitchen where Jess is cooking breakfast in just his boxers. Rory makes her way to him and wraps her arms around his waist while lightly kissing the back of his neck. He momentarily stops watching over the sizzling bacon to turn around and face her.
He cradles her head in his hand and gives her a soft kiss. She kisses the corner of his mouth and he feels like he's walking on air. Keeping one hand on her cheek he wraps one around her waist pulling her closer to him. She sighs as he kisses her deeply. They seem wrapped up in each other forgetting everything including the breakfast cooking on the stove. It isn't until they hear the loud crackling of the pan that they come back to earth.
Rory looks over at the pan and laughs while Jess curses under his breath taking the pan away from the stove. 15 minutes later they sit down to breakfast eating in silence. Jess looks past Rory's head to see the clock and curses again under his breath realizing he has to get home to Stars Hollow by 11. It was 9:30 and he began to get disappointed at the thought of leaving Rory. She notices his distress and furrows her eyebrows at him confused. Seeing her body language Jess answers her unasked question for her.
"My mom's wedding is today and I have to be there by 11. But I have no idea how I'm getting back."
Rory thinks for a few moments before coming up with the easy solution. "I'll drive you back," she says simply. Then an idea pops into her head and she starts to get excited.
"Wait," she starts, "how about I go with you to the wedding. I mean that would be fun…I would get to see you all dressed up. It could be fun."
Jess frowns a little at the idea. "Um…are you sure? Because this isn't going to be your typical wedding. My mom is a nut after all. She's having a Renaissance wedding."
Her smile brightens even more at the idea. "A Renaissance wedding? You mean with the really cool dresses…and even a court jester?"
Jess just shrugs. "It's Liz…she's nuts."
"That would be so much fun! Are you in the wedding?"
"Yeah…I have to walk her down the aisle."
"Aw that's so sweet."
"Just darling."
"Let's go together."
"Why would you want to come to my mother's wedding Rory? I mean you don't need to."
"Yeah I know but I want to."
"Why?"
Rory sighs a little frustrated at how difficult Jess is being. "Jess…this whole thing that's going on at the moment…I don't do it very often. I never do it at all actually. I don't just bring guys that go to the club home…it's not me. I like you Jess…I can tell you're different. Any guy that reads Hemmingway in a strip club is different. This isn't…a one time only thing for me. I don't know about you but it's not for me."
Jess smiles at her lengthy confession feeling relieved that they're on the same page. "I like you too Rory."
"Good to know."
"I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable coming to my mom's wedding. I'm not exactly well liked around in my town."
"I can deal with a few pricks Jess it's part of my job. Let me come please."
"Fine…but don't say I didn't warn you," Jess says as he sticks his finger in her face.
Rory squeals and jumps up from her and runs into her bedroom. Jess sits back thinking about what the day could bring. He didn't even know this girl and she was going to meet his mother…and maybe even see Chelsea. This could make or break them… and he was deathly afraid it could break them.
