Watching over me

Summary: Once again, Emily Gilmore has to play matchmaker. But under no circumstances would Rory fall in love with this selfish and arrogant boy… right!

Reviews: Yes, Yes and one more time: YES! I need them so badly, believe me!

A/N: So, once again this story just popped into my head and I thought it would be worth it to write it down. But if you have another opinion, let me know!

Chapter 1

"Lorelai!" This was the third time Emily called her daughter who sat right next to her.

"Lorelai Victoria Gilmore! Would you hand me the potatoes, please?"

Lorelai interrupted her conversation with Rory for second and handed Emily the plate. She hadn't speak to her for three weeks and she wasn't going to change that. Though, Luke had come back to her, but Lorelai was too angry to forgive her mother. Emily always thought she knew what's best for Lorelai and this time it was too much. This time Lorelai wouldn't make it easy for her mother.

"Could you at least look at me?"

"Rory, could you please tell your grandmother that I'm not going to look at or speak to her ever again?"

"Grandma, I should tell you that my mother isn't going to look at or speak to you ever again."

"Ok, Rory could you tell your mother that I don't understand why she won't talk to me. Luke came back to her after I spoke to him. Everything is allright and we're not 5, are we!"

"Mum, I should tell you that grandma doesn't understand why you won't talk to her because Luke came back to you after she spoke to him. And that…" Rory got interrupted from her mother.

"Ok,Ok I heard everything. Mother, I'm not 5 and everything is not allright. You ruined my relationship. Thank god Luke really loves me and came back. But because of you he asked himself if this relationship is right for him or not. Just because of you!"

"You know I just wanted the best for you. Luke isn't the right man for you!"

"Oh, yes he is! He loves me and I love him. If you like it or not. And I don't need you to look after me, I'm not a teenager anymore."

"If you're not a teenager anymore than act like a grown up person."

"Am I in your house or not? Do I eat dinner with you in the same room or not? I think that's all you can expect from me."

"Enough. You're gonna knock each other's head off. And I want to have a quite dinner. Just leave it alone. Lorelai, your mother excused herself hundred times. Could we please stop this war between you two?" Richard was becoming angry. Of course, Rory was on her mother's side, but she couldn't stand it anymore. So, she said:

"Yeah, please mum. Stop these fights. It's enough, don't you think?" Lorelai was shocked by her daughter's comment, but said:

"Fine. But it isn't over for me,you can count on that!" The dinner went on quitly and the atmosphere was almost freezingly cold, but no more fights came up.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I thought you're on my side?" Lorelai stopped her daughter on the way to the truck.

"Of course, I am. But I cannot stand these fights anymore. What grandma did was terribly wrong, but you hurt yourself with these fights. I love you, mum. And this war every Friday night is too much, even for you. I don't want you to hug grandma right away, but how about you two keep your weapons down?"

"Perhaps you're right. I cannot forgive her this fast but maybe weapons down wouldn't be that bad. What would I do without my smart daughter?" Lorelai hugged Rory.

"To be honest, you would be totally lost." Rory smirked at her mother who began to pout.

"If this makes you feel better, I would be also lost without you."

"See, this is my favorite daughter as she lives and breathes."

Rory was in her room, studying, as her cellphone rang. She looked at the screen and saw that her grandma called her.

"Hi, grandma. How are you?"

"Hello, Rory. I'm doing fine, thank you. What are you doing?"

"Studying."

"This is my granddaughter. Always studying."

"Not always, but let's say often. So, grandma, I didn't expet a call from you, is something wrong?"

"No, of course not. I just want to tell you that your grandfather and I are giving a party next Friday. So there is no dinner."

"Oh, what a pity. I'll tell mum."

"Yeah, that would be nice of you. Listen, how about you attend to this party? We invited old friends from Yale with their children. It will be a wonderful party and we would miss you."

"Yeah, I'd love to." You could see at Rory's face that she would like to do anything else but attend to this party. But she didn't want to dissappoint her grandmother and she didn't had a good excuse to flunk out.

"Great! Could you be here at 6 o'clock or do you have late classes?"

"No problem, my last class is at 3. I'll be there."

"Fine. Bye, Rory. See you on Friday."

"Yeah, see you then. Bye, grandma." Rory flipped her phone close and realized Paris standing in the door frame.

"One of the great Gilmore parties you got invited to?"

"Yeah, unfortunatly."

"No good excuse?"

"No."

"Then, good luck and have fun with the rich world."

"Thank you very much, Paris." Paris smirked at her and turned, closing the door behind her. Rory flipped her phone open and dialed a very familiar number.

"Hello, you beautiful thing."

"Hey, mum."

"What is my smart girl up to?"

"Not much. Studying and ravishing a great message to you. No dinner next Friday."

"What happened? Don't my lovely mother want us there anymore?"

"Grandpa and grandma are throwing a party for their old friends from Yale."

"Oh. We have to eat unhealthy food and make a DVD-marathon the whole night instead. My mother is so cruel to leave us on your own."

"Unluckily, you have to do all this on your own. I accept their invitation to attend also. I didn't have an excuse."

"No problem, I'll help you out of it. Just need a master plan."

"It's ok, mum. I'm going to go there. Maybe I won't be so bad."

"It's like as the titanic met the ice wasn't so bad."

"They're not that bad. How 'bout I'll leave early and we could watch Willy Wonka again. You simply love the Oompa-Loompa guys."

"Yeah, great! Oompa loompa oompa loompa…"

"Save this for Friday."

"Ok. Bye, hun."

"Bye mum."
