A/n: Ok so I was going to update this weekend but I started writing and couldn't stop. Enjoy!

Loose talk in the classroom

To hurt they try and try

"So…" Paris began as Rory was applying her makeup in front of the mirror.

"So what?" Rory teased knowing full well what she wanted, she had just arrived to the dorm and it was almost time for their afternoon classes meaning she had spent the whole morning enjoying breakfast and a movie with Logan.

"How was it." Rory had already acknowledged that she had spent the night with Logan, but had kept the details to herself.

"It was the best night of my life." She confessed, she sighed wishing that she could have just stayed all day with Logan, yet there were things called classes that she should attend at least once in a while, and he had to assist Callaghan.

"I bet, with a body like his." Paris bit her lip, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Before your dreams get graphic I should inform you that there was no actual sex involved last night." Paris' face filled with disappointment.

"As in… none at all or…." Rory stopped her friend right there knowing how graphic Paris could get and she didn't want to spoil her memory of the night before.

"None, we just talked and I loved it." She shrewdly looked herself in the mirror. "Did you talk to Jess?" The fight from the day before entering her mind.

"About that…" Paris began as she moved closer to Rory, "He's suspicious of something between you and Logan." Rory looked at her bewildered.

"How, we haven't even done anything that would be good for any gossip well not in public anyways."

"He followed you yesterday, after the whole thing and saw you go into the teachers building later he came looking for you and I told him you went off campus to blow off some steam but he didn't seem to believe me."

"Why would he automatically thinks it's Logan though?"

"He's young, what else and he knows you have a thing for blondes." Paris finished with a smirk, well she tried to anyways. "I'm worried, you know how he can get when he's angry and he's tired of being second place in your heart."

"When did he tell you this?"

"He didn't Jamie called asking if I knew anything, of course I denied everything even added the fact that I thought you and Tristan were going to give it a second chance, but I doubt Jess would fall for that." Rory was now sitting on top of her vanity.

"How pissed was he?" She began to bite her lip something she abhorred but was a nervous habit.

"Very, worst I ever seen, worse than when he found out you were dating Tristan and you know how those two can barely stand to see each other across a room." Rory sighed knowing this was something she had to take seriously if Jess truly thought there was something going between her and Logan then he would use it to his full advantage. She had to do damage control, quickly.

"Jess." Rory said as she grabbed his arm, he had currently been walking out of the boys housing building with Jamie.

"See you later, dude." Jamie said with a nod in Rory's direction.

"What do you want." He asked icily.

"Paris said you came looking for me… afterwards." She didn't want to bring up the fight, perhaps they could just forget and move on like they had done countless times before.

"I did, I also followed you after, did she tell you that." Rory looked around to see too many students around to be having this conversation out in the open.

"Come here." She said as she pulled him under a nearby bridge where there was no one and offered some privacy.

"I don't know what you think I went to go do, but why I was there really is non of your business."

"Was is it Mr. Huntzberger's business?" He asked with a sneer.

"Why would it matter to him?" She asked truly confused, she was a gifted actress.

"Don't pull that shit on me, who else would Rory Hayden go visit, dear old Callaghan, I doubt it." Her eyes narrowed, he knew what he was doing calling her solely a Hayden.

"Look Danes," Rory added with a smirk, he despised that name, Jess unlike Rory had not been born into high society his mother had married herself and him into it when he was but a baby, lucky for him Rory never held it against him, Danes was his mother's maiden name he was now a Mariano, part of a prestige's family.

"You don't want to piss me off, what I do, or even who I do, is non of your god damn business." She waited for his reaction knowing that he took that as a confession of guilt. "But sadly you are wrong, though Huntzberger is quite reminiscent of Tristan, he holds very few interest for me." She examined her nails knowing that he would believe her. Yet instead of the immediate apology she would usually receive by him, she looked up to see his shrewd stare.

"Bull shit." Apparently Jess Mariano had lost his rose colored glasses that he usually viewed Rory with. This certainly put a kink in things.

"What you have proof, of non existent relationship?" She stood her ground fuck Gilmore she was going to be playing the part of a full fledged Hayden for Jess now.

"Do I even need it?" He mocked her. "Tell me, if I report some suspicious behavior to the Headmaster, when talking to Callaghan will they seem to find that you two always seem to be alone in a room." Her eyes narrowed, Jess was not kidding he wanted to bring her down.

"Do it, Danes. Ruin your credibility by crying wolf. Think of the legacy your messing with first, with a snap of my fathers fingers your stepfathers company, might seem to lack a certain cash revenue that is a necessity for it to avoid bankruptcy." She knew that was a low blow but, the fact that the Hayden's had saved Mariano Inc, was a well kept secret, one that Jess had always seemed to avoid mentioning.

"I really don't care anymore Rory, I'm tired of all this, I gave you my heart and you couldn't even try to take care of it." Rory wouldn't let him get to her, she realized that the friend Jess Mariano was no longer existed.

"I never promised I would, and you should have known me better than to trust me with something, I didn't really want."

"Does he have yours?" The question caught her off guard.

"Yeah…" She smiled wickedly. "Tristan does own it." She knew, he knew the truth, once Jess realized something it was hard for her to make it untrue, again, but before it had least been possible, now it wasn't even plausible.

"Enjoy your game Hayden, because your perfect little bubble is about to pop." Jess Mariano began to walk away from Lorelai Hayden-Gilmore for once in his life.

"Don't worry Dane's, next time I see your uncle I'll be sure to leave a tip." She yelled across the grass at him knowing others would hear that part. It was a particularly low blow even for her, she was well aware of the diner owning uncle that Jess had, and who was the black sheep of the family, but what could she say she was a Hayden after all.

"Hi." Rory said as she leaned on the doorway of Logan's apartment.

"Hey." He said as he moved so she could walk inside.

"So…." Rory was sitting on the armrest of the couch, she was trying to find the best way to let Logan know exactly what Jess was planning to do. She knew Jess enough that he wouldn't do it soon, no he was the kind of guy who loved to wait who wanted to make her squirm with nerves. She would pretend for as long as he wanted that she was nervous about him trying to ruin her but she really wasn't.

"I thought about you all day." Logan said as he grabbed her waist and pulled himself closer to her. He instantly kissed her, this touch friendly Logan was still new to her and she was enjoying him very much. She knew she should inform him of what Jess was going to do, but with the touch of his lips on hers, she figured one more day or perhaps a week wouldn't hurt.

"I planned something special." She raised and eyebrow at him, as he lead her into his room. When she saw it, it really took her breath away, sure she had seen many beds covered in roses with a Champaign bottle nearby, but it had always been in a hotel meaning the guy paid someone to do it. But this, this Logan had done for her, he had spread every petal, lit every candle and picked the Champaign bottle.

"I…" He wasn't quite sure how to say what he wanted to say. "If you don't want to, we don't have to." She smiled at his soothing tone and the sincerity in his eyes. "I just, I've really grown to feel something akin to love for you more than I have ever felt, for anybody, and after last night I hoped you had too."

"I told you I was falling, didn't I?" She smiled and pulled him into the room. "I know what you mean, I've never… I never thought I would even want to feel this way." Was all she could say, no they weren't declaring their undying love for each other, they weren't those kind of people. But to them this was as close to love they had ever felt.

So with a saucy smile from her and a smirk from him, they fell into the bed. Tearing at each others clothes, his hot lips on her neck, then chest, then naval and finally her entrance had her gasping for breath, she was burning, no, they were burning. She had made her decision to burn a long time ago and so had he, it was just a matter of time until he realized it. As his lips claimed her body, as he gave in to her , Rory realized it had all been worth it, it would all be worth it.
