INT. RORY’S APARTMENT, NIGHT
JESS is leading RORY into the apartment, which is now furnished with a mishmash of furniture, her eyes are covered by both of they’re hands.
JESS
Okay, just a few more steps.
RORY
Can I look yet?
JESS
Not yet, we’re almost there.
RORY
Jess, this is silly, just let me see.
JESS
It’s a surprise.
RORY
I know what the apartment looks like; it can’t be that much of a surprise.
JESS
Just let me have my fun.
RORY
Are we there yet?
JESS
Are you two?
RORY
If I say yes will you take your hands away and let me see my apartment?
JESS
You do realize that all of these questions are just making this take longer.
RORY
I’m done.
JESS
Okay, open your eyes.
(JESS takes they’re hands away from RORY’s eyes so she can look at her apartment)
RORY
You did all of this?
JESS
It’s not that big a deal.
RORY
Yes, it is. You made me an apartment in an afternoon. I have a place to live that’s all mine. I’ve never had a place that’s just mine. It’s always been mom’s or Logan’s or Paris’, never mine.
JESS
Well, technically your renting it from me, so its mine.
RORY
Jess.
JESS
You’re welcome.
RORY
So, movies and Indian food?
JESS
You know we’re going to have to burn the place down afterwards; it’s the only way to get the smell out.
RORY
After five years, you would think you would have come up with a new line.
JESS
I like to stick to the classics.
RORY
Speaking of classics, how would you like to come with me to Stars Hollow this weekend?
JESS
Why?
RORY
I need to go get the rest of my things from my mom’s house, and I could use some help.
JESS
Sure, we can go Saturday morning, but we need to come right back, I need to be here Monday to meet with my agent, and you have to drive so that I can get the last edits done on my novel.
RORY
I think that that can be arranged.
JESS
So, Almost Famous?
RORY
And Indian food, but next time we chose a new movie, possibly something we haven’t seen a thousand times.
JESS
Now what would be the fun in that?
JESS and RORY settle down on the couch while JESS pulls out his cell phone to call for the food.
CUT TO
INT. RORY’S APARTMENT, NIGHT
JESS and RORY are still on the couch, it’s much later. There are containers of take-out on the coffee table. RORY has her feet in JESS’ lap and they are lounging comfortably, the movie is over and the credits are rolling.
JESS
Are you comfortable?
RORY
Mmm… very. Why?
JESS
No reason, just feel free to dig your heel into my groin, its fine.
RORY
Oh, god, am I hurting you.
(RORY tries to pull her feet out of JESS’ lap, but he holds them firmly in place)
JESS
Rory, its fine, your not hurting me.
RORY
The movies over anyway, we should clean up.
JESS
I’m happy right here; we can clean up in the morning.
JESS pulls RORY over to him, kissing her softly. JESS leans back and the kiss starts to heat up, JESS pulls RORY under him and the CAMERA PANS OVER TO THE DOOR. CHRIS bursts in without knocking.
CHRIS
Okay, that’s not what I meant when I told you to get over her.
JESS
Chris, what are you doing up here?
CHRIS
I was just coming to tell you that we where all leaving for the night, I wanted to know if you wanted us to lock up, or if you where going to do it when you left. I guess we’ll just lock up.
JESS
I’ll do it in a minute.
CHRIS
You sure, man? Cause you look pretty comfortable right where you are.
RORY
Chris, please leave.
CHRIS
Sure thing.
CHRIS leaves the room and RORY and JESS just look at each other before bursting out laughing.
RORY
Oh boy was that awkward. I don’t think we’ve been caught making-out on a couch since that time Luke walked in on us.
JESS
I was so sure that we where past that part of our lives.
RORY
I guess not.
JESS
So, next awkward question?
RORY
Go lock up, then we can watch another movie, but nothing else is going to happen tonight.
JESS
I wasn’t suggesting that we have sex.
RORY
I know, you where asking if I wanted you to stay over and I do, I’m just not ready to sleep with you. I’ve jumped into bed too quickly in the past, and I want this to work.
JESS
Me too, to all of it, we’ll just watch a movie, nothing else.
RORY
Go lock up Jess.
JESS gets up from the couch and leans back down to kiss RORY.
