CHAPTER 4
Rory and Jess walked to this bridge that was located behind an old Inn called the "Independence Inn". Lorelai used to work at that Inn until it burnt down a couple of years ago.
They both sat down in the middle of the bridge with there feet dangling over the side. It was silent. The only thing that could be heard was there breaths slowly breathing in and out. Jess finally broke the silence.
"Rory?" He spoke quietly
"yea?" she asked just as quiet.
Jess turned to face her but Rory continued to stare out into the lake.
"can we please talk?"
"yea. Just start speaking and I will listen" Rory said not really sure on how to answer his question. She really wanted to avoid the subject, but she didn't. this was all one big confusing thing to her.
"Rory, will you please face me?" jess pleaded. Rory continued to stare into the lake. Finally Jess grabbed the sides of her cheeks and made her turn to face him. Jess quickly attached his lips with hers and they both could have sworn that this was all a dream. His lips were soft against hers and vice versa. There mouths slowly began to open and Jess slipped his tongue in her mouth causing her to reciprocate. They made out for what felt like an eternity. They both slowly pulled away. They were both breathless. Rory was completely shocked. That was her first kiss and for some reason she knew what to do.
'I have been watching to many romance movies' Rory thought.
"What was that.." Rory stated more than questioned.
"That was me kissing you"
"You. Me. Kiss. But, we just. Met" Rory stumbled.
Jess stood up and helped Rory up by grabbing her hand. Instead of letting go of her hand once she was standing he just grabbed her other hand and held them.
"Rory I like you. I have since the moment I saw you. And I know that we just met yesterday but, I feel more connected to you then I have to anyone my whole life. I kissed you because I wanted to. Not just to do it. I want to be with you Rory."
"I umm…I don't know what to say"
"say whats on your mind"
"I feel the same way. But this…thing" Rory gestured in between the two of them "is all new to me. I have never been with anyone or kissed for that matter. I don't know what to say or to do"
"just be yourself. Be the girl you were yesterday instead of the girl who was avoiding me all day"
"I was not avoiding you"
"right im sorry. You were avoiding me AND ignoring me"
"I was not"
"yes you were. I tried talking to you today and you ignored me. I tried to walk you to class and you just acted as if you didn't know me. You would quickly leave from every class to avoid me"
"I was ready to leave."
"B.S. I know that you wait until the bell rings to pack up your stuff"
"well I decided to be different today"
"Rory come on. I know you better than that"
"no you don't. you have only known me for 2 days"
"and in that 2 day period I have gotten to know you better than I have ever known a person. You are the best more beautiful person I have ever known. I want to be with you"
Jess wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her flush against him. He lowered his head so there lips were barely even touching.
"I want to be with you to" Rory whispered before Jess crashed his lips into hers. Rory brought her hands up and wrapped them around his neck and pushed his head further into her lips. There was a mix of passion and love. Even though they have only known each other for less than forty-eight hours, they could definitely feel love. And if it wasn't love then they sure hoped it was something stronger cause they never wanted this moment to end. Finally Rory pulled away in need of a breath.
"I need to go" Rory whispered
"No stay"
"I want to but I have to get back to mom and mike"
"mike?"
"my step dad. You met him"
"oh. I thought that was your dad"
"No umm…I don't know my dad. According to my mom he left when I was six weeks old"
"Oh. Im sorry"
"eh don't be. I like Mike. But don't call him that trust me. He hates it but he will only let me and my mom get away with it. He likes to be called Michael."
"I will remember that" Jess smiled.
"Okay now I really have to go"
"are you sure?"
"yea"
"okay. Well I will walk you home"
"you don't have to"
"I know but I want to"
"okay"
Jess interlocked there hands together and walked Rory home. It was a silent walk but they didn't need to say much. They were content with each others company. As long as they were with each other than they were good. When they reached her house, they could see Lorelai watching through the curtain. Once Lorelai saw that she was caught she pulled the curtain back and pretended not to be there. Lorelai kept sneaking glances but making sure that the new couple couldn't see.
Jess turned to face Rory and smiled.
"Your mom sure likes to spy on us"
"well she wants to make sure I'm ok"
Jess laughed and kissed her quickly.
"you will be ok"
"Kiss her like you mean it" Lorelai yelled through the slightly open window.
Rory and Jess laughed. Jess held her hips and kissed her like he meant it. They could hear Lorelai whistling in the background. They both started laughing in the kiss.
"I should go" Rory said as she pulled away.
"yea I don't really want to hear her whistling anymore" Jess laughed. They once again kissed quickly and Rory went into the house.
"Mom are you trying to kill me!" Rory laughed
"No im just trying to encourage the boy to kiss you like he means it"
"he was. We were doing really good. Until you interrupted"
"oh well….so…!"
"so? What?"
"So! What happened! Details woman! Details"
"well were together now"
"What? I never noticed" Lorelai said sarcastically. Rory laughed.
"Im going to go to bed"
"what! You never gave me details"
"eh I'll give you them tomorrow. Im really tired"
"but your going to make mommy stay up all night wondering what happened"
"well then don't. just sleep"
"but I wont. I will wonder. What happened. What made you want to be with him"
"tomorrow mom" Rory yelled as she began to walk up the stairs.
Lorelai followed her but instead of going into her and Michaels room, she went into Rory's.
"So did he try to make a move on you?"
"what? Mom I told you I would tell you tomorrow! Now get out"
"fine. But you will tell me tomorrow and if you don't then your grounded from seeing jess all week"
"goodnight" Rory yelled as she shut her door. Rory sat on her bed and smiled. She thought of jess the rest of the night.
