Jess sat up to the side of the bed while Rory pulled her shirt down.
"Rory lets go." Lorelai said from the door. She wasn't too happy right now…
Rory nodded, and kept her head down walking away from the bed towards the door. When Rory started walking back downstairs, Lorelai shut the door, remaining inside. Jess didn't bother to look up he figured he knew what was coming.
Lorelai walked over and sat next to Jess on the bed. She looked at him…
"Like mother, like daughter." Jess said quietly.
"What?"
"Quit staring at me."
"I was not staring at you."
"Yes you were."
"Well if I was, it's not my fault." Lorelai said.
"Like mother, like daughter," he repeated.
"Whatever…listen. I know you care for Rory, but be careful with her. She may seem strong and opinionated, but she's fragile."
"I'm not going to push her."
"I can't believe I am saying this, but, I trust you."
Jess nodded. Lorelai got up from the bed and walked towards the door. She opened it up, and before stepping outside she said,
"I'm taking her out to eat as my own little private celebration with her for graduating…We should be back by seven…You should come over, as a surprise…You know? Spend some time…we're leaving next week."
"Sure."
"Okay." Lorelai walked out and shut the door softly behind her. When she got to the top of the steps, she paused and smiled.
Inside the apartment, Jess opened up the fridge and grabbed a coke, then sat down at the table and nodded his head with a smirk on his face.
Lorelai had taken Rory to a nice pizza place in Hartford. Their pizza wasn't done yet so they were just talking…
"So about earlier…" Lorelai started.
"About that…I am sorry mom. I will talk to you before anything happens you know that, right?"
"I trust you. You'll definitely tell me, and I will try to cope as best I can. I just want you to be careful."
"I will."
"Promise?"
"Promise." Rory nodded. The waiter came up to the table,
"Here you go. One large pepperoni with bacon bits, bread sticks, one medium extra cheese, and two calzones. That it ladies?"
They both looked down at their food and smiled, they were hungry.
"Oh my god that was good." Lorelai said when they stepped inside the house.
"Oh yeah." Rory agreed nodding her head.
"Do you want to pick a movie or something? I'm gonna go change."
"Sure."
"Just not footloose I think 18 times in one week is enough."
"Oh I agree,"
"Oh, and not Breakfast club." Lorelai said walking up the stairs.
"Gotcha." Rory said as she took of her coat. She went over to the answering machine and pressed play.
"You have 6 new messages." The machine said.
"Hey. It's me. Call me back." The voice was Jess's. Rory smiled and the next came on. "Rory, I figured we could do something. Call me back." Her smile grew wider. "Hey Ror, when are you getting home from your dinner?" She was practically floating. The next one came on. "I have a book for you, don't let me forget." She picked up the phone as the next one came on; it was Sookie "Lorelai! Come to my house when you get home!" Rory was a little disappointed it wasn't him. The last one came one. "Rory, call me when you get home." She was screaming inside her head.
She dialed the number as fast as she could and on the second ring, it picked up. "Hello?" It was Jess.
"Hey." She said with a huge grin.
"Hey." He said trying to keep his excitement toned down.
"You called?"
"You got my message?"
"All of them."
"How many did I leave?" He asked embarrassed.
"Only a few." She said, trying not to humiliate him.
"Oh. What are you doing?"
"I'm not sure. Me and mom were going to watch a movie, but Sookie left a message to come to her house. I'm gonna tell her when she comes downstairs."
"Oh. Do you wanna do something?"
"Oh uh –
Lorelai interrupted, not knowing that she was on the phone. "Did you pick a movie?" Rory looked at her, and Jess started talking,
"Is that your mom?"
"Yeah," Rory answered him.
"Yeah you picked a movie?" Lorelai asked.
"No." Rory shook her head.
"That's not your mom?" Jess asked, confused.
"No, it is." She answered him.
"What?" Lorelai asked the same time Jess asked her on the phone.
"Ugh!" Rory stood up. "Lorelai. I am on the phone with my boyfriend. I did not pick a movie because Sookie called and told you to come over when you got home."
"Jess," Rory said speaking into the phone, "It is my mother, and yes I would like to do something."
"Can I call Sookie, and you and Jess could make plans? We could watch a movie tomorrow."
"Okay." She said answering her mother, "You want to come over for a while?" Rory asked into the phone.
"Hun, I live here, I'm going to Sookie's…remember?"
"UGH!" Rory fell onto the couch.
The doorbell rang, and Rory rushed over to the door. She swung it open,
"He –
Jess leaned in and kissed her. She swung the door closed, and wrapped her arms around his neck. He slowly started walking forward, until Rory was up to the wall. He put his hands on the wall on either side of her by her hips. He broke the kiss and looked at her, she slowly opened her eyes.
"Hey." She whispered.
Jess leaned in with his lips centimeters from hers. "Hi." He whispered back then he kissed her again. He made his way to her neck and she bent her head to the side to give him more access.
"Hey Sookie." Lorelai said, getting out of her jeep.
"Lorelai!"
"Whats up?"
"Nothing." Sookie said with a smile on her face. "Where's Rory?"
"At home."
"Oh, I thought she would tag along with you."
"No. She invited Jess over for a little bit."
"Those two are becoming inseparable." She said with a smile.
"Yeah. I'm scared."
"Why honey?" Sookie asked worried.
"She's growing up. She may start having…you know…with Jess." Lorelai said looking away.
"Really?" Sookie asked with big eyes.
"I think." Lorelai said.
She was lying on her bed while he was looking through her books.
"I think I have read all of these." Jess said, looking back at her.
"Well then you will have to buy me some new ones wont you."
He smirked and walked over and stood in front of her.
"Only if you're nice." He said quietly while bending down and he kissed her. She linked her hands around his neck, and laid down bringing him on top of her. She unlinked her hands and reached down to the hem of his shirt. She pulled his shirt up and he laid down next to her so she could take it all the way off. She straddled his waist and he started undoing her belt buckle. He unzipped her jeans and was about to take them down.
"This is my favorite part."
Rory, caught off guard looked up confused.
"Rory? Are you awake?" She opened her eyes and looked up at Jess.
"What?"
"You fell asleep? We are watching Almost Famous here! You can't just sleep through it."
"Sorry." She sat all the way up and looked at the movie playing on her television.
R/R!
