Chapter 11
Jess lay in his bed arms behind his head, going over what she'd said again, "I've got to get home but let's talk tonight. Can you come by my window at 9:15?" He was going by Rory's window tonight at 9:15. Oh shit. He couldn't do this. He couldn't trust himself around her in public during broad daylight, let alone her bedroom at night by themselves. What was he going to do, just not go? He couldn't pass this up. He would just have to get a hold on himself and hope for the best. This would be a long night.

Rory was laying in the dark of her room, on her bed, remembering the way Dean had acted, how fiercely he'd kissed her, and how scared she'd been. She might have just passed out from utter fear if Jess hadn't come…Jess! She had totally forgotten he was coming. How could she forget something like that? She jumped up and was just about to change her clothes out of the old ratty pajamas she was wearing when she heard a tap on her window. She nearly leaped out of her skin, until she remembered it had to be Jess. She'd been particularly jumpy since the incident with Dean tonight. One of the side affects of being assaulted by your ex-boyfriend.
Slowly she walked over and unlatched then pushed open her window. She and Jess' faces were practically even.
"Do you want to come in?" She asked stupidly. He didn't reply, just swung himself through her window with agility and grace she hadn't expected from him, but then again, Jess was full of surprises.
"Hey." She greeted, once he was standing in her bedroom.
"Hey." He replied softly. The two stood there, neither knowing what to do or what to say. Rory was beginning to rethink why she'd asked him here in the first place.
"So…" He said in a desperate attempt to get some conversation started since Rory and him were on opposite sides of the room, staring at their feet like complete dopes.
"We need to do something." He said, stupidly again.
"God, why does it always end up with me kissing you? I always end up complicating things and screwing them up because of my impulsivity!" Rory exclaimed unexpectedly. Jess studied her face intently for a moment before speaking.
"So that's what you think? That this was all a mistake?" He asked solemnly.
"No, I just mean-"
"No, it's okay, I get it. Just put it all behind us. I get it" He said, more trying to convince himself rather than Rory.
Of course he didn't get to be with her. She was Rory Gilmore. And he was…Jess. Them being together would probably be breaking some law of physics.
'Jess and Rory are together now…and the world spins backwards on its axis.'
"But what about Washington?" A tiny voice nagged in his head. It was probably the side of his brain that actually held hope. He was better off ignoring that portion of his mind. Listening to it only screwed things up more. He turned around and began to slip himself out of the open window when he heard her angel light footsteps behind him. A slender hand reached out and grabbed his wrist.
"Jess, the complications and screw-ups always end up being good in the long-run." She said, half-whispering. He turned his head back to her.
"Am I a complication?" He questioned, his voice matching her tone.
"Hmm…let's see…you come to this town and wreak havoc everywhere you go, pulling stunts and stealing, you total my car, rip me away from my boyfriend…yeah, I'd say you were a minor complication." Rory tabled. Jess slowly nodded, a small smile hidden in the curtains of his eyes.
"Hey wait, I never ripped you from Dean. You broke up with him yourself." Jess protested.
"You just living in my vicinity was stealing me from Dean." Rory explained.
"Ah. So if I'm a complication then…that means I'll end up being good in the long-run, right?"
Rory simply bit her lip and nodded shyly. That was all it took for Jess, placing his hands on her sides he backed her up into her desk and realized just now how beautiful she was tonight. With the moonlight casting a dim glow across her face, her hair shone, her eyes seemed brighter than normal and their blue was so striking…God, she was gorgeous. He took her arms in his grip and backed her over to the side of her bed, laying her down so that her feet still touched the floor and then leaned over her and began. He had plans for Rory tonight. He wanted to give her a taste of what he could make her feel, if she hadn't already realized that in Washington that one night…in her room…He shook the thought of that evening from his head. He needed to focus on what he was doing now.
Trailing kisses down her neck and collarbone and all across her chest, he was starting slowly, giving her a sort of introduction. She soon allowed her head to fall back and let out a soft moan as he focused on one particular spot of her neck, sucking and licking around there. It was over too soon though as he pulled his head back and began the next part of his procedure.
RJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJ
His hands are everywhere at once, tangled in my hair, around my neck, rubbing up and down my back, skimming across my sides. They're everywhere. Rory's blood was rushing through her body and finally it settled, just between her legs. She could feel a faint pulsing as she slipped into the trance Jess was setting over her.
If someone asked me my name I wouldn't be able to tell him, she thought to herself. 'It's Rory.' Came a murmur from the back of her head. Ok, so maybe she could remember it but…oh God, he's talking to me.
"Rory, I need to know if you really truly want me, that we weren't just some summer fling in Washington. I need you to tell me what you're feeling." Jess ordered, his voice barely audible.
"Feeling?" Rory murmured as she tried to make sense of these words jumbled around in her head. He wasn't exactly making it easy with his hands dancing around her hemline, pushing it higher and higher and leaving trails of inferno in his wake.
"I, I feel…"
"Hey, Rory, Molly Wringwald Marathon….Rory!" Came a sudden yell from not far from Rory's room.
Rory's heart stopped, she was frozen in time, suddenly an inanimate object. Her mother was the queen in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and she'd just turned Rory and Jess to stone. What now, What now, What now...Her mind raced when her door burst open. 'Oh Crap' was all she could think.
"Oh! Sorry I just….Rory and I, we've wanted to watch a Molly Wringwald marathon and there's one on E! that just started and I was awake and I knew you weren't sleeping because I heard bumping and…"
"Mom!" Rory exclaimed at her mother's words. Lorelai grimaced at her own choice of vocabulary and began backing out of Rory's room.
"I'll just…" She trailed off, gesturing towards the kitchen. Rory nodded and out of the corner of her mouth hissed to Jess, "Leave…" He took the cue and turned, swiftly out the window in moments. (AN-right now, the camera would pan to Jess crouching in the bushes below Rory's window. Didn't know how to say that story wise so I'm just telling it. So, he's sitting outside her window listening.)
Rory let out a huge breath, sighed and flicked on her light. Lorelai walked into her room tentatively and sat on Rory's bed, Rory following suit.
"So…"
"So?"
"So, I don't really know what to say here." Lorelai explained.
"Well, the most common reaction from a parent I'm sure would be to scream and shout and then ban me from ever seeing Jess again." Rory offered.
"No, no no no! That would be what my mother would do and never will my parenting style resemble Emily Gilmore's in any way. Plus, what can I do-you're seventeen and you've got a pretty boy you love and-" Both girls stopped at this and looked up abruptly.
"I didn't mean...but you know it would be okay if you loved him…wait, do you love him?" Lorelai inquired uncertainly.
"No……." Lorelai raised her eyebrows. "Yes." Rory caved.
Jess, who was still listening to the girls' conversation, felt his heart leap. He had the urge to do some sort of happy dance but he remembered he was supposed to be hiding right now so jumping up and singing would probably be bad. Lorelai slowly nodded tried to accept this.
"So you love Jess…did you ever really love Dean?" She asked.
"Yeah, I did but with Dean everything was safe and easy and I was okay with things just staying the way they are but with Jess…it's dangerous and I don't know, I'm just always wanting more around him." Rory yielded yet again.
"Oh dear God." Lorelai muttered.
"What? Is that bad?" Rory asked, worried.
"No, I just this is bringing back some…um, high school memories. You really are Mommy's girl." Lorelai said, sighing for the umpteenth time that night.
"When did this all start? You liking Jess?" Lorelai questioned.
"Um…I think I started really loving him that day he bought my picnic basket at the Bid-A-Basket Festival."
"Oh. Wow, so this has been a long time coming?" Lorelai realized.
"Not really, since I didn't really know it at the time. I mean, I felt something around him but I just basically ignored it."
"Ok, well it's alright for you to be wanting things you know. Have I mentioned that you're seventeen and this is very common to be feeling these needs. All kids have hormones and I know that when I was your age I felt lots of-"
"Mom! This conversation is veering way too far into well…uncovered things that I don't want to really cover tonight." Rory cried, halting her mother's speech.
"Okay, it's just--- we can talk about these things, right?" Lorelai asked her daughter.
"Yeah, when the time comes." Rory replied.
"Alright…well, I guess it's time for Pretty in Pink. You go pop popcorn." Lorelai ordered.
"Why can't you?" Rory protested.
"Because I'm the leader of the household, the alpha-female, the matriarch, and I haven't seen this movie in way too long!"
"Fine." Rory pouted as the two girls walked out of her bedroom and Jess began retreated to the diner, a slight bounce in his step that was never there before.
RJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJ
Jess entered the apartment and was walking towards the bathroom to change when Luke grabbed his arm and pulled him to the bed.
"Sit." He ordered. Jess obeyed, plopping down on the bed in front of Luke. His new light mood was causing him to be extremely agreeable.
"Where have you been?"
"Walking, clearing my head." Jess replied simply.
"You don't walk Jess. I want to know what's going on with you and where you were tonight." Luke barked.
"I closed up if that's what you're problem is." Jess answered.
"I don't care if you closed up or not-well, I do but-Damnit Jess, why can't you just answer me straight? I can't do this raising a kid stuff and you aren't making it any easier. I'm trying to be a responsible adult here and you're…Oh my God you've been with Rory haven't you? What the hell were you doing with Rory tonight?!" Luke panicked.
"How do you know I was with Rory? I told you I was on a walk." Jess protested.
"You've got your 'Rory Look'. All bright and shiny and dare I say-happy with a tiny layer of glaze over it. I know the look Jess, every time Rory's in your sightline it pops up. Don't try getting out of this one. I want to know what's going on with you and her because there's something there, so start talking."
"Um…she visited me in New York and missed her mom's graduation, I came back and she kissed me at Sookie's wedding, I went to Washington to see her, we umm, got together there and then I left, we ended it, she kissed me tonight again in the diner, told me to go to her window at 9ish…I went, things happened, Lorelai found us, the end." Jess said, actually feeling good to get this all off his chest. Luke just stared at him, mouth open, completely flabbergasted.
"'Night." Jess said, and walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
"Wait; Jess what things happened tonight in her room? What did Lorelai find you guys doing? Jess!"
RJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJ
Lorelai slumped into the diner, collapsing onto a table and searching for Luke.
"Coffee…." She moaned. Rory, on the other hand, was strangely awake, even though the Ringwald marathon hadn't ended until 3:45 in the morning.
Jess walked up and began pouring the girls some coffee. Lorelai looked up for a moment to give Jess a tiny withering stare and then slumped down again. Rory was simply gazing at Jess and as he turned to walk away from the table she grabbed his hand and pressed a small piece of paper into it. He looked at her curiously but she pretended to be fascinated in Kirk riding a bike across the street out the window. She watched as he suddenly lost control of the handlebars and crashed straight into a telephone pole, falling back and causing a small crowd to gather around him. Rory smiled at the sight and then turned and watched Jess' retreating back.
"Jess, two burgers and a small cheesy fries." Luke announced as Jess stepped behind the counter and made his way towards the kitchen. When he reached inside he slowly unfolded the note Rory had given him.
In regards to your previous question asked last night-I felt:
Ache
Want
Need
Longing
Lust
Desire
Burning
I'm sure those are all synonyms of each other basically but you know what they say, the more descriptive you are, the more you get the point across. I hope I got the point across.
Jess' heart went into overdrive and his hands shook as he dropped the note into his pocket. He could barely breathe and his head spun as his eyes fluttered shut. He tried to regroup himself and attempt to figure out how Rory did this to him. Why did he affect her like this? Damn.
Now, why was he in here in the first place? Oh right, people's food. He threw a burger onto the stove and cooked the French fries. When done, he splayed the cheese over it and watched it hiss in the heat. He and that cheese had a lot in common. He'd waited for months, simmering and refusing to give into the heat of Rory Gilmore and refusing to allow it to take over him, but now he was melting into her touch, he couldn't rip himself away, he was giving in against his will. She was doing such a good job of luring him though. She probably didn't know just how much that note affected him, knowing she felt that way about him was…indescribable and totally enticing. What could he do now?
RJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJ
Jess finally stepped out of the kitchen and slid the people's food across the counter before allowing himself to look at her. She was staring straight back at him. As soon as their eyes met his darkened dangerously. She gave him her best innocent look and threw in a sweet smile but he could see behind her mask. There was a small spark of something, a tiny imitation of the dark gaze in his eyes-enough to tell him Rory was slipping under the same spell he was. She walked up to the counter towards where he was and dropped a 20 dollar bill on the table. She then swiftly turned, and as she whisked past him she reached into his pocket and pulled out I Know You Sit Alone from his pocket.
"It's been on my 'to-buy' list. You just saved me about 10 dollars." She explained simply before following her mother out the door. Jess stared after her, his book in her hand and a new smirk in her eyes that hadn't been there yesterday. This was going to be a long ride.
