"morning"Lisa said coming down to see Jess, his only roommate now with Ernie gone
"hey"
Lisa leaned and pecked him on the lips, simple, yet very awkward
it should feel good, shouldn't it?
"going to the bookstore?"she asked
"yeap"Jess said taking a sip of his coffee, which like every morning reminded him of her so much
"ok"
"I have to go now"
He leaves now, to go to the bookstore and miss all his duties because hes always thinking about her
Jess left, he was on his way to get his car, he remembers todays the day, her rhetoric started today, it was some weird thing the Yale kids did, oratory or something, they spoke about different topic s they picked, he remember she told him that day she went to the bookstore shed talk about their common passion, books Jess thought for a second, just a bunch of kids babbling about "interesting topics", there will probably be cookies, Yale is pretty nice, it has beautiful gardens, and he wouldn't find any idiot in there, theyre all pretty bright according to the flier
So Jess Mariano just got inside his car and drove left, instead of right

"I think books are our own fountain of wisdom"Rory said, all these people looking at her, it made her nervous "books are reliable, and make your mind fly making you imagine..I once read this book called "Rory stopped when she saw a familiar face, she gasped, it was Jess, she didn't think he'd come, but he did "it was called The Subsect, it had , it was a wonderful experience, definetely a journey, a very pleasant journey, the author really became the character, it was amazing, the narrating style and well, it has a very nice cover"Rory said which made the audience laugh, while Jess just stared in amusement at her, so built up, so grown, not like he was the right person to criticise her, it made him happy, it made him smile in that way only Rory Gilmore made him smile, that dumb-looking way, it just wasn't dumb anymore as long as she was happy, as long as she liked it
When the speech ended she comes to him
"hi"she says
"hey"he responds
"didn't think you'd come"she smiles and her smile makes him smile
"nice speech up there"he says, still smiling, he can't help it
"you think, you don't think I was too boring?" she asks just to ask, the answer doesnt matter, it just matters that they're leaning closer
"not at all, I think it was brilliant"he says,smile,smile
"thanks.. so why did you come?" she asks, perhaps he jsut came to look inside of Yale
"I came to see you"he says and remembers himself, Jess "James Dean" Mariano "and it had a very nice flier"
She blinks..twice "thanks" suddenly not other word can come out of her mouth, however she manages something
"well, in Yale they have very good printers"
"I figured they would"
"thanks for coming"
"you're welcome"he says and licks his lips
"I..I love it when you do that"
"lick my lips?"
"yes, its sweet I guess"
They're so close, she thinks she was never this close with Logan, or somebody else, she can only be this close with him, hes the only one who will always make her knees tremble and whose touch would send chills through her spine
He shouldn't be doing this, he's with Lisa, but right now it seems accurate, it seems right, true after all he shouldn't betray his feelings
"hey Rory, you know whats amazing?"he asks not breaking the intesive stare
"what?"
"it's amazing how someone can break your heart in millions of pieces, and nevertheless you continue to love that person with every single one of them...it never stops, it never ends, were what we are..you and me" he says thinking that might sounded so poetic and maybe pathetic, it's still what he feels
"the wonder of life" she whispers
They lean forward just enought so their lips can meet, that moment is so wonderful for them
I cannot possibly tell you using words how they felt, you can imagine it, like when you receive your first kiss, the excitement, the joy, the doubt and fear but I can honestly tell you in the kiss Rory Gilmore and Jess Mariano shared there was no doubt neither there was fear
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Jess got home like he was flying on the highest cloud, or like he was attending a Metallica concert with VIP tickets, he shut the door, he still had to find Lisa, and he had lost his cellphone, the tenth one in four months
"hey" a vioce said coming from the shadows, the couch rotated to reveal Lisa
"hi..Lisa I"
"you went to see her didnt you?"
Jess just nodded ashamed
"why did you come?"
Jess frowned "well, I live here"
"why not to stay with her huh?"
"I..had to come and talk to you"
"here" Lisa said handing him her cellphone "I know you lost yours, she's probably waiting for your call"Lisa gulped and left
That was it, it was done, Lisa finally understood what you and me have know for thirty chapters now, there was nothing she could do, and she didn't want to do anything, not anymore
They were in love
Simple
True
How those two little words match eachother, just like the names of Rory Gilmore and Jess Mariano
"match made in heaven right?"
Jess nodded, the best he could do at the time
Lisa sighed and went to bed
Jess dialed Rorys number
"hello"
"hey"
Rory smiled at the sound of his voice
"hey you! where are you?"
"home you?"
"Im driving home now"
"so"
"so" she smiled
"drive safe"he said
"oh yeah, dont know if I'll be able to do that after today"
"well, its not over yet, its 11:23 now, in 47 minutes it will be over"
"maybe"
Jess narrowed his eyes "what do you mean maybe?"
"I just arrived home"
Jess heard a car parking
"Rory where are you?"
"I told you, I'm home"
Jess looked out, Rorys car was just in front of him
"oh man, you can't park here!"
"don't, it would only be a waste of time" he said smirking
"ok"
Rory got out of her car, Jess opened the door and walked out, their eyes connected
She dropped her cellphone, he did the same
"you're home then"
"I'm home"
They ran to eachother and hugged, kissed and every sample of affection goes here
Suddenly he felt something cold and it looked pretty white
"it's snowing!" she exclaimed
He smiled and nodded
"snow never lies Dodger" she said
