A/N: I love getting reviews! I'm glad people like this story! I mean it's only the sixth chapter and I am two reviews away from 100. I'm happy. So since I am so happy, I am writing another chapter. Here you go!

Jess' POV

I pull away from the one thing I have wanted to do since I met her and I rest my forehead against hers. She's smiling at me and I note to myself that that is a very good sign. My hands are holding her face so she is looking right at me. She's gorgeous.

She bites her lip, shyly and her eyes avert to the ground. I step away from her and look around at the people around us. No one saw us and I was happy for that. I look at her and she's still looking down at the ground.

"I'm sorry." I say, afraid that I moved too quickly.

She looks up at me, "What? Why?"

"I thought maybe you regretted what we just did. I understand if you do, I mean it was wrong. I'm with Hayley and you are with Logan." I sigh, "But Rory, honestly, I've liked you the whole time I was with Hayley. That sounds horrible, but it's true. And it's not like me and Hayley are serious, but you and Logan are …"

I look up at her and she's smiling at me slightly, "What we did was wrong, but I didn't regret it, Jess."

I smirk and nod, "But we shouldn't do it again?"

"We just need to figure out what we want." Rory smiles at me and the rain starts letting up. I start to say something else, but I'm cut off by the sound of Taylor's voice.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but sense it is very wet out here a firework show is out of the question. We shall re-schedule when we can. Do not be upset we can still eat and have a merry time."

"Blame Luke's nephew!" Kirk shouts, standing beside Taylor.

I roll my eyes. This town is certainly the oddest little place in the world, and I have been to many places. Lorelai walks towards us, laughing. "I guess you are now Kirk's number one enemy."

"Lucky me," I reply, sarcastically. How many people are going to ruin my moment with Rory? I shove my hands in my pocket, "I think I'm going to see if Luke needs any help closing up the diner." I walk away from Rory and Lorelai, shooting a smile in Rory's direction.

Before I get to the diner, I feel someone pull me to the side by my arm, "Hey!" I look and see its Jake and I jerk my arm away, "What's wrong with you?"

"Don't think I didn't see you and Rory's little lip action under there. I'm not mad; believe me I am over Rory. But, Jess if you hurt her I'll kill you. There'll be nothing stopping me from ripping you to shreds. Rory is my best friend and I love her to death. I don't know what your intentions are, but I can tell she feels strongly about you." Jake's glaring at me, trying to make me feel threatened. Honestly, I am a little threatened. This guy can be intimidating when he wants to be.

"I won't hurt her, but we both have someone. That was probably just going to happen once." I say after I had taken a deep breath.

Jake nods, "I really doubt that." Jake smirks a little, "My first instinct was wrong, Jess. You're not so bad."

"Yeah, neither are you." I smirk and walk into the diner with Jake walking right behind me. I think I could come to be pretty good friends with this guy.

Rory's POV

It's been two days since I kissed Jess. Every time we see each other we just smile and keep walking. I put my jeans back into my suitcase as mom walks in the door.

"So, when are you going to see me again?" She asks me, sitting on the bed and smiling her most innocent smile.

"Probably next weekend," I say, laughing. "Stop acting like I never come see you."

"Oh but it gets so lonely around the house when you're not here." She pouts and looks at my suitcase.

"You have Luke," I retort in a sing song voice. I hear her sigh and I look over at her, "Come on mom."

"Fine. Leave momma." She crosses her arms over her chest and sticks her bottom lip out.

"Hey that's my look!" I laugh and zip up my suitcase. She smiles and I hear the door open and laughter fill the house. I walk out into the living room with my suitcase in hand and see Jess and Jake joking around about something. They've hung out a lot in the past two days. I barely got to see Jake.

"The look on his face … priceless," Jake says, laughing and trying to catch his breath.

"What did you two do?" Mom asks as she comes up to stand behind me.

They both stop laughing and Jess shakes his head, "Nothing."

"Nothing at all," Jake adds, trying his best not to laugh.

"I swear you two act like teenage boys." I roll my eyes, "Jess, you ready to head back to New Haven?"

Jess nods, "You should stick around Jake, we'll come back and visit a lot and I need someone sane in this town." He grabs his suitcase that is beside the couch.

I hug Jake and kiss his cheek, "You should stay around close. We miss you."

"I know, I know. I'll stay close." He smiles and we pull away from the embrace, "Be good."

I turn around and hug mom, "I love you. See you next weekend."

"You better," she says holding onto me tightly. After we pull away, I walk out of the house and down to the car.

It takes a few minutes, but Jess walks out of the house and puts his bag in the car. We get in and he drives off. The ride was silent. It wasn't a comfortable silence, either. I try to think of anything to say to him.

"Are we pretending this didn't happen?" He asks, glancing at me.

"No. Yes. I don't know," I say, sighing.

He nods and keeps his eyes on the road, "I don't want to forget it happened."

"Me either," I reply, "But we need to. We have Hayley to worry about. And Logan."

"Yeah, I know." He doesn't look at me. His eyes are on the road and his face is emotionless.

I sigh and stare ahead of me at the road. How come you can never get what you want but you seem to always have what you don't want?

We walk inside my apartment and I see Hayley waiting for us with Suzanne sitting beside her.

"Jess!" Hayley squeals and jumps on him to give him a kiss. I watch them and my stomach turns. I feel my eyes watering just a bit, but I cover it up with a fake smile.

"I'm so sorry about getting mad at you. I know I should trust you." Hayley says and kisses him again. Jess glances at me when she hugs him and I just look at Suzanne.

"Hey Suzanne," I say, smiling.

She gives me a sympathetic look, "Hey Ror."

I walk into my room and put my suitcase on the bed. Shutting the door, I glance back at them in the living room. I sit on my bed and put my head in my hands. I knew it would come out to be nothing in between me and Jess.

I just knew it.

A/N: Okay short chapter! I'm sorry, but it was kind of a filler for things to come. Don't hate me! It was kind of breaking my heart writing about the interaction between Hayley and Jess. And Rory's reaction to it. Review, please!
