"Oh, hun. We need to teach you so many things. We will leave your acquaintance with Stars Hollow and wallow."
"What? Why? What happened?"
"I see my mother once a year. That's it. And know that will be the third this year. I need to wallow." At this point Leigh was defined from laughter. "It's not funny."
"Well, it is. BUT I will go with the plan. What do we do? And do you need help?"
"OK you go to the market and buy this and I am going to rent the movies" said Loralei giving her a piece of paper practically out of the door.

"Wow. That's a lot of junk food "
"What?"
"I said that you have a lot of junk food. Why so much?"
"Me and my mum are having a wallowing night."
"A what night?"
"Wallowing. You will find out soon."
"Why?" asked even more confused Dean
"Don't you have a sister"
"Well yhea . But... Weit how do you know?"
"Dean right " met with a confused face. Leigh pointed at the nameplate on his apron. "You have a glitter on your hands. For this, there could be two main reasons. First, you have a sister or some girl that is in your life that is so important that you played with glitter for her. Or the second option is you like those things? Look if it is cool. I just didn't get you for this."
"I am not that kind of gay. And I have a little sister." she then decided to go further with the explanation.
" I am good at reading people. And have enough friends that went through this. Your sister is not more than 12, right"
"Yes. She is 10."
"So you have about 2 years before you start worrying about boys" they were already at the cash register.
"If you say so. And can I get a name with the face?"
"Rory" and with that Leigh went out of the door. To meet inpatient Lorelei waiting.
"What took you so long"
"There was a boy. I think his name was Dean. Well I don't know. He was asking a lot of questions about our wallowing. So I told him that he will understand soon."
"Why?"
"Well, he has a sister" Loralei just waves with her hand. "Ok, let's go to Luke's, take coffee and go home."
--
"Luke, Luke, Lukeeeeeeee" Lorelei singed entering the diner.
"What do you want Loralei" asked Luke. but as he saw the girl behind her he smiled and changed the tone "Oh, hey. What can I help you with"
" Heeeey! How? Why? That's not fair. How could you like her more than me already"
"Well, I am nicer and more polite. So just bear it. We will take 8 coffees. Right. Thank you" said Leigh while looking at her mother.
"Coming right up."
"How? For me to convince him to give me 2 coffees is a whole battle." She shrouded with her shoulder.
"What can I say. I have a gift."
"Oh, and modest. Don't forget that"
"How could I?" And the phone rang. "Sorry I really have to take that. I will come back in a minute."
"See, Loralei the girl is here not even a week and she knows that she has to go outside. And you. You are here for 16 years and you don't know it yet. That's why I like her."
" oh sush you."
"What did I miss? " said Jess as he entered the diner.
"What did you miss?"
"Let's start. Who is the girl that is on the phone and now is jumping up and down on the street."
"That would be my daughter" reported Loralei
"Your what," asked stunned Jess
"My daughter. And don't even think about it?"
"What am i thinking"
"Oh i had a kid in your age I know what you think. See I get the afterwords. And for the record. Yes she is your age, but I'm pretty sure that she has a boyfriend. And even if she doesn't you can't"
"What do you mean pretty sure. And I am here for about 2 months and I have never seen her. Where was she?"
"She was with her dad, and now she will live with me till college."

Meanwhile in front of the diner
"Hey, Josh what are you calling for," asked happy Leigh.
"Can't a brother call his sister just because?"
"Yes. it can. But you are you. So what is this phone call about."
"Well first is to hear what happen yesterday and second is I have some news."
"Look it's not that big of a deal. I was upset that we were fitting and then Lorelei dropped the last drop and I exploded."
"I get that but why didn't you come to me."
"Because I needed Jake and you know that"
"Yes. I know. So on the bright side do you remember the deal for London Starbucks."
"Yes"
"We got it." "No" "Yes" and the only tink that someone could here after that was a screen.
"I see that you like it"
"No way Jose. That's awesome. Please tell me you told dad."
"No. I wanted you to know first. Do you want to call him or should I."
"YOU. I get the law you the computers. You need it more. I got Pops and Nana."
"Thanks, I appreciate it."
"Well, you did it. So. Go call him."
"Thanks again I love you"
"Yhea, yhea I love you to."
--
"Sorry, about that. So what did I miss."
"Rory. This is my nephew Jess. Jess this lovely lady is Lorelei's daughter Rory" as she reached for his hand to shake.
"Hi!. Nice to meet you"
"Right"
"so who was on the phone. If it wasn't a sicret" ask nosey Lorelei.
"It wasn't"
"You look happy. That's it"
"You don't have to explain yourself. It was Josh. He called to tell me that the project that we were working for the past 6 mounts went true."
"That's good"
"It is"

The last movie had just finished when Leigh asked the question that was barging her the whole day.
"So what is it between you and Luke"
"what? Nothing. What are you talking about"
"well. I don't know. It's just that there was something today between you"
"No. There is not. We are just friends"
"Well Okay." And that was the moment that Loralei decided to ask her question.
"So when we are on this topic. Who was the gay from yesterday."
"Who?"
"The gay that took your car. You are wearing his T-Sher right now! Weit that was your car right."
"Yes that was my car. And he took it because I asked him to do it. I thought that it would be easy that way."
"What."
"well, you don't really like that life. So I thought that I will live like you for the time that I will be with you."
"Are you sure?"
"well no. But I saw how you look at the car and the expensive things that I have. It will be eager to get along that way."
"It will be. So the boy. Jake"
"What?"
"Your brother told me."
"when? and why?"
"Yesterday. I was worried and I called him. He said that you are safe and at Jake's house. But didn't want to tell me where or who is. So when yesterday some gay dropped you off I just thought it was him"
"How did Josh know I was at Jack? Never mind Jack probably called him. Well I don't really want to talk about him. I actually don't want to talk about
Boston. As a whole"
"Why?"
"Because I don't want"
"Is he your boyfriend"
"Oh my God. STOP. I said I don't want to talk about it. And no he is not" she was shouting until the last one that came out a little above a whisper.
"Just tell me."
"why do you want so much to know"
"Well, a lot of reasons. First, you went to him. Not your brother or someone else, him. Second, your brother trusts him more than he trusts me."
"That's not hard," muttered Leigh.
"And third. You stayed the night there. And gave him your car. And you are still wearing his shirt."
"And what about it! I slept there. He is Jake's best friend. We know each other for as long as I remember."
"So you fuck your brother's best friend."
"Are you mantle? Do you hear yourself? Just because I go to his house doesn't mean I am sleeping with him. I have a room in their house as well as Josh. Just the way he has in ours. I went there because I needed someone to tell me to come back here. Because we both know dame good that if I went to Josh, right at this moment I would have been in London at some boarding school. He was the one that is responsible for the fact that I am here. So can you just fuck of and mind your business. I and Jake are just friends. Ok?"
"Ok"
"I am going to bed now". Tomorrow is the first day at school so I need sleep. Can you drive me just the first day?"
"Of course," said Loralei.
