Disclaimer: I own Lelane... and Matt.

"Yes grandma… no I don't think I need a fix-up… especially not with Daren Carter… I will be there… goodbye, grandma." Rory hung up her cell phone, and walked into her office. She sat at her desk, and leaned back in her seat. The day hadn't even fully started and she was already exhausted.

A short medium height woman with black hair, and beautiful brown eyes walked in, and set a few papers down on the desk in front of Rory, "This is from Matt. I don't work here, I'm Matt's fiancé."

Rory smiled, "Thank you."

The lady finally looked up, "Hi… I'm Lelane Mariano."

Rory laughed, at the last name Mariano. That was Jess's name. She couldn't get him out of her mind all day, and now a woman who had the exact same last name walks in. With the same wavy brown hair, and dark eyes, "Hey… Rory Gilmore." She held her hand out for Lelane to shake.

Lelane smiled and her face lit up, "O my gosh! You're THE Rory Gilmore."

Rory smiled, and laughed slightly, "Uh… I guess, I mean I'm not famous or anything."

Lelane shook her head, "No… no… I know you're not. I'm so sorry. I have heard so much about you."

Rory furrowed her brow, still confused, "Am I that good of a co-worker?"

Lelane laughs, "Sorry, again. I haven't heard all about you from Matt, I mean from my brother. Jess Mariano."

Rory smiles slightly, "O! Ok… now I understand. So I hope it wasn't anything bad."

Lelane laughs, "No. Jess is crazy about you. He talks about you, a lot. My mom wants to meet you. She's already met Lorelai, and so have I. You are her daughter, right?"

Rory nods, and tries to take in the enthusiasm of this girl, "Yea…I'm her daughter."

Lelane smiles, "O wow… small world, huh?"

Rory laughs, "Yea… small world."

Lelane looks at her for a moment then shakes her head, "I'm sorry… it's just. Jess has never really talked about a girl like he has been talking about you."

Rory crosses her arms in front of her, "Good thing? Or bad thing?"

Lelane puts her hair behind her ear, "Good if you like him, and bad if you don't."

Rory nods, "Good, then, because I really like your brother." It was true, even though Rory and Jess had only been on two dates in the past week she really liked him.

Lelane claps her hands, excitedly, "Yay!" she looks out the window of Rory's office, and sees Matt leaving, "I better go. Matt's leaving, and we have reservations for lunch. It was so nice meeting you Rory. Have a good Valentine's Day."

Rory smiled, "You too, bye Lelane."

Lelane walked out of her office, and Rory sat down in her chair, and turned back to the computer. She turned it off, quickly, and stood up to go eat lunch. After putting her jacket on and grabbing her purse, Rory walked out of her office. She turned off the light and locked the door in the process.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Rory got back to her office about an hour later. Her door was unlocked, and her light was on. She walked inside slowly, and saw a bouquet of sunflowers, with a card. She smiled as she walked over to the vase. She picked up the card, and read:

Happy Valentines Day

If you remember on our very first date

You said roses were too cliché and

That you liked sunflowers better.

So I got these for you.

See you tonight

Love,

Jess

Rory smiled, and re-read the card over and over. Her secretary walked in, and was surprised at the smile on Rory's face, "Ms. Gilmore. I'm sorry to interrupt your happiness, but you have a visitor."

Rory put her card down, and nodded, "O… sorry Jenny, send them in."

Jenny smiled, and walked outside. After a few minutes Jess walked in the door, "Hey you."

Rory smiled up at him, "Hey! You're off work?"

Jess nodded, "T.J.'s taking over."

Rory looked at her sunflowers, "Thank you."

Jess walked over to her, "You're welcome."

Rory hugged him, and then pulled away, only to kiss him, "So… I met someone interesting today."

Jess looked almost worried, "A guy?"

Rory laughed, "No Mr. Paranoid, her name was Lelane."

Jess rolled his eyes, and put his arms around her waist, "She didn't scare you away did she?"

Rory smiled, and looked into his eyes, "No. She said you talked a lot about me, though, care to explain?"

Jess looks down at his shoes, and then back up to Rory, "She's exaggerating…"

Rory laughs, "O she is, is she?"

Jess nods, and laughs a little, "Yea."

Rory kisses him, "So where are we going tonight?"

Jess grins; happy she changed the subject, "Not telling you."

Rory pouts and groans "Jess… please!"

Jess shakes his head, and kisses her cheek, "Nope… see you tonight." He unwraps his arms from around her and walks towards the door, "Wear something short and tight." He winks, laughing.

Rory pushes him out the door, laughing "Pig!"

Jess leaves the office, with a grin on his face.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Rory puts on her high heel, and walks to the door. She had just heard a knock, so she opened the door, "Hey."

Jess smiles, leaning against the doorway, "Hey."

Rory smiles, "Well you look nice. Very… formal."

Jess laughs, "And you were something short and tight… good girl."

Rory grabs her jacket and purse off of the glass table beside her and shuts the door behind her, rolling her eyes, "Like I said before… pig!"

Jess smiles, and holds his hand out, "Shall we?"

Rory laughs, "We shall." She takes his hand.

Jess walks down with her, and outside, "It's snowing… in February."

Rory smiles, "It does do that, sometimes, you know?"

Jess smirks, and guides her to a sleigh with two white horses guiding it, "Surprise one."

Rory squeals, and turns to him, her eyes filled with excitement, "How pretty! You got us a sleigh? That's so sweet." She kisses his cheek, and walks towards the sleigh.

Jess helps her up onto the sleigh, and gets in after her. He sits beside her and spreads the blanket out, "Now… this is an official date."

Rory laughs, "Our first date was perfectly fine… and our second one."

Jess shrugs, "But this one I knew you'd like."

Rory smiles and leans against him, as the sleigh pulls up to a hill. Jess nudges her slightly, and nods towards the hill, "That is our date."

Rory looks towards the hill, and smiles. The sleigh comes to a stop, and Rory and Jess get out. They walk up to the hill, and sit down on a red blanket. Rory sits down and puts a white blanket over her. Jess sits across from her, Indian style.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Their paper plates are empty and the wine bottle is half full. Jess is laying down looking up at the stars, and Rory is laying beside him, "Pretty night."

Jess nods, and turns propping his elbow up, and resting his head on his palm, "What my sister said earlier… you know about how I talk about you?"

Rory nods, "It was true." She stated.

Jess nods, almost embarrassed looking, "Yea... it was true."

Rory laughs, "I talk about you, sometimes, too. Well, all of the time, to Paris."

Jess smiles, and looks down, "I really like you, Rory, and I'm not good at relationships… but I really like you."

Rory smiles, and rolls over to face him, "I really like you, too."

Jess smirks, "So am I the bad boy you are looking for to sweep you off of your feet?"

Rory laughs, "Yea… I think you are."

Jess lays back down and smiles.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Rory and Jess walked up her apartment stairs laughing about something. She got up to the doorway, "Jess… tonight was great. Thank you."

Jess smirks, "You're welcome, you're worth it."

Rory kisses him, and Jess brings her closer. They kiss deeper walking towards her apartment door. Jess leans her against the wall beside her door, and kisses her passionately.

"Ahem." They both stop kissing and turn towards the stair case.

Jess looked confused, and Rory looked shocked.

"Logan…" Rory gasped.
