A/N- So it's been a while, sorry! I promise to start updating more frequently! I guess this is a couple days after the last chapter on a Friday.

Rory's POV

"Jesse! Coffee please!" I yelled entering the diner.

"My name isn't Jesse its Jess." Jess growled as I approached the counter.

"Whatever, just give me coffee, Jesse." I demanded. He glared briefly before pouring me a cup of coffee. I took a long sip and leaned over the counter giving him a quick kiss. "Hi!"

"Typically people start the conversation with that." He joked.

"Well people are weird." I declared.

"They're the weird ones?" I hit him and he laughed. "Want some breakfast?"

"Sure, pancakes please." I requested. He nodded disappearing into the kitchen.

"Hey Rory," Luke greeted as he came downstairs. "Do you want something to eat?"

"Jess' getting it." I told him gesturing to the kitchen.

"Okay, where's your mom?"

"At the Inn, there's a wedding there today."

"Here." Jess said placing a plate in front of me. "So tonight," he started.

"What about it?"

"I'll pick you up at seven."

"Where are we going?" I asked excitedly.

"It's a surprise." He leaned over and kissed me.

"Tell me!"

"No."

"Come on, I'll never call you Jesse again, I promise!"

"No." he kissed my cheek as he walked by to deliver an order.

Six forty-five that night.

"Mom! What am I supposed to wear?" I yelled into the living room.

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know! Jess wouldn't tell me!"

She appeared at my door and walked over to my closet. "Here this and this and these." She said handing me a white sundress with blue flowers, a white sweater and white flip flops.

"Thank you!" I hugged her. "What about my hair?"

"Down and remember the hair twirl." She headed back into the living room.

I changed, brushed my hair and poured myself a cup of coffee. Just as I was finishing the doorbell rang. I walked into the foyer and opened the door. Jess was standing there with his hands behind his back, he had on a white button down and dark jeans.

"Hey." He stepped forward and kissed me, I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer. He pulled back, presenting me with a white rose.

"Jess…" I trailed off kissing him again.

"Okay you two! Do that somewhere far away from me." Mom commanded from behind me.

"Bye, mom. See you later." I called as I walked out the door. Jess placed his hand on the small of my back, leading me over to Luke's truck. "Does Luke know you borrowed his truck?"

"Yes, mom." He joked rolling his eyes. He got into the other side and started it. We listened to music and talked about books as we drove. I noticed we had been driving for awhile.

"Where are we going? We've been driving for a long time. Are we still in Connecticut?" I asked.

"No."

"No?"

"No, we're not in Connecticut." He confirmed.

"Where are we going?"

"New York."

"What! But, my mom…Luke…New York!"

"Your mom knows. She said to give you this." He said reaching into the glove box and handing me a bag. "She packed you a bag and brought it by the diner earlier, it's in the back."

I looked into the bag he handed me there was a cell phone, some money and a note. It said: Hey kiddo, Ha! I didn't tell you anything! You had no idea! I'm getting good at this secret keeping thing, aren't I? Anyway call if you need anything, love you! Have fun!

"Thank you, Jess." I said smiling and sliding across the seat to kiss his cheek.

"Hey, I'm driving here." He warned, but wrapped his arm around my shoulders pulling me into his side. I smiled as he continued driving, this was definitely the best first date.

A/N- So review! Next chapter will be more about their date!
