Who are you and what did you do with Jess?
Chapter 4
Rory and Lorelai were both sitting on the couch in the living room watching television around 2:30 that afternoon when the doorbell rang. They looked at each other with wide eyes.
"Mailman?" Lorelai asked.
"No. Don't they always ring twice?" Rory answered.
"Pizza?" she asked.
"Not unless Pete is telepathic - we didn't order pizza," Rory answered.
"Mass murderer?" she mused.
"Then YOU need to answer the door!" Rory barked.
"Boyfriend?" Lorelai teased. She never got tired of the banter.
"Looks that way," Rory said getting up to finally answer the door.
"Hey," Jess said, hands stuffed in his pockets.
"Hey," Rory answered, giving him a quick kiss.
"So do you have some time?" Jess asked, a little meekly. Rory studied him.
"Um, sure, do you want to come in?"
"Sure," Jess said looking around.
"Oh, hey Jess! Wow, Rory, look at the time, I am totally late for that appointment!" Lorelai looked at her wrist even though she wasn't wearing a watch.
"What appointment?" Rory asked.
"You know, the one where I have to leave the house for a hour for!" she remarked, giving Rory a wink as she walked by. "So I'll see you in about an hour, bye!" Lorelai said, grabbing her keys, purse and jacket and walking out the door. They heard the Jeep start up and head out of the driveway.
"So," Rory said quietly. "Let's sit," she motioned to the couch.
"Sit, yeah," Jess said as they awkwardly sat down together. Jess turned towards Rory and slipped his arms around her waist.
"So, you know what I've been thinking about all day?" Jess smirked.
"Well, I've got a pretty good idea," Rory answered, putting her arms around his neck.
"Oh yeah?" he kissed her softly.
"Yeah," she replied softly, kissing him.
"I bet you don't," he teased.
"I bet I do," she teased back.
"I'm pretty sure you don't," he teased back.
"Jess!" she wasn't sure how to answer that.
"Well." he hesitated, tracing the outline of her face with his index finger. "I've been thinking about how lucky I am to be with you, that you're the kindest person I've ever met, we share so many of the same interests, we can talk about anything or nothing, your so smart and so beautiful."
Rory was blushing furiously. "Jess," she interrupted. "What is all this about? I think that's the most I've ever heard you talk before!" she smiled. "Not that I'm complaining, I mean, but I could easily say all of the same things about you, you know," she traced her index finger along his face like he had done.
"Rory," he said a little louder than he wanted to, interrupting her. "What I'm trying so hard to say is..well, geesh, I never thought it was be this hard," Jess sighed.
Rory wrinkled her forehead, confused. "Jess, you're not breaking up with me, are you?" she said with a little cry in her voice.
"No! Oh God, no! I'm trying to tell you that I love you!" He shouted, then let out a huge sign of relief. **Thank God, I finally said it, it's out there** he thought to himself. He looked into her eyes as he said it, trying to read her reaction.
"Oh, Jess, I love you too!" She gushed, hugging him tightly.
"Really?" he asked, releasing himself from her so he could look at her. He broke into a real smile, mirroring hers.
"Yes, really! I've been thinking about that since this morning! And I didn't know if I should say it first, and Lane said I shouldn't tell you in case you didn't feel that way or you might be scared, but my Mom said that I should say it anyway because she regrets not saying it to Lu." she stopped short in her rant.
"Luke?" Jess finished. Rory nodded.
"Yeah," Rory answered. Jess laughed out loud. "What?"
"Well, after you ran out of the diner this morning, Luke dragged me in the storeroom to lecture me on how to behave around you, basically flipping out when I told him I spent the night with you. I told him I would never hurt you because I love you too much, and he flipped out about THAT. Then he went all Dr. Phil on me and told me that I should tell you right away and not wait for a special moment, because if you wait, you may never get that moment. And he admitted that he was talking about Lorelai!" Jess and Rory both laughed, shaking their heads.
"How on earth are we going to get those two together?" Rory asked, running her hands through his hair.
"Don't know," Jess answered, again slipping his hands around her waist as he started kissing her neck. Rory leaned her head back, enjoying it. "Did your mom say she'd be gone for an hour?" he whispered between kisses.
"Yeah, what do you have in mind?" Rory said seductively.
"I think you know." Jess answered.
**THE END**
