((Hey guys! As always, I love the feedback you give! Okay, to answer some
questions.. No, I didnt invent the word gobsmacked. I've read it somewhere
a few times, and it just sprung to mind. I think it's an English word..
because I remember seing it in an English novel, lol. And as for how
Lorelai and Luke became friends again.. well.. er.. to be honest, the whole
Season 2 finale hasn't even SHOWN here yet in Australia. Arent I so silly?
When I read the transcripts, I ignored a lot of the Lorelai/Luke part.
Well.. maybe you can just imagine they never had the fight? *nods keenly*
Yes... please do that, lol!))
Lorelai was furious. Why? Because Rory had distinctively betrayed both Dean and herself. Her daughter had looked into her eyes the other day, and said she felt absolutely nothing for Jess. She had looked into her eyes, and sworn black and blue. How could she do such a thing? And the fact that she was still with Dean!! If she really had feelings for Jess, she should at least have the decency to tell him that it was over.
Lorelai shook her head angrilly. 'I should have met her at the bus stop' she told herself.
She rounded the corner to her street. Argh, she smacked her forehead. She had a car! So why was she walking?
Shaking her head again, she stomped on to her front lawn and up the stairs to the porch.
Pushing the key into the door, she swung it open.
"Rory?" she said as calmly as she could.
"Mum?" Rory bounced out from the living room, seeing her Mom, she ran and gave her a big hug. Her Mum didnt return the hug, so she then asked anxiosuly. "Whats wrong? Did you have a fight with Luke?"
Lorelai took some deep breaths. "Rory.. Is there something going on with you and Jess?"
"Er..." Rory stuttered. "Well, there wasn't...."
"Wasn't until today?" Lorelai remarked.
"Yeah.. I saw him at the bus-stop, you see..."
"I know you kissed him Rory. He was wearing your lipstick. And I know Dean must have seen something going on..." Lorelai pressed.
"I know!" Rory felt even worse. "I feel horrible about it happening this way! Totally horrible!"
"And you should," said Lorelai, seriously. "You've broke the guy's heart."
There was an odd silence.
"You promised me that you didnt feel anything for him. You promised me you wouldn't get involved with him." Lorelai sighed.
"I know, Mom" Rory said weakly. "And I didnt mean to betray you, or anything, but it just.. happened."
Rory hugged herself. "Im such an idiot!"
Lorelai looked at her daughter, sympathetically, her anger slipping. "Im sorry Rory, I just really didnt want the same thing that happened to me, happening to you."
"It wont, Mom," Rory assured her. "You have to believe me. You have to trust me."
Lorelai tried to smile. "I do trust you Rory, I just dont trust those hormones of yours."
Rory made a face. "I.. do you forgive me?"
Lorelai hugged her daughter. "I dont know why I got so worked up. I cant stop you from loving someone."
She pulled away. "You do love him, dont you?"
Rory nodded, slowly. "I know you may not see what I like in Jess.. but I see it, and that's what's important to me."
Lorelai smiled again, hugging her daughter. "Im sorry babe, just promise me, you'll be careful."
They continued to hug for a few more seconds in the hallway, afterall, they hadn't seen each other in 6 weeks.
"It's great to have ya back, Ror," Lorelai buzzed. "You know, we should have a movie night tonight. We havent had one in a long time now!"
Rory smiled. "Do I get to pick the video?"
Lorelai put on a very long face. "Oh please oh please oh please let me choose!"
Rory laughed. "Well.. if it means that much to you..."
"Nah, it's okay, you can choose this time," Lorelai said, and she was about to close the door properly, when someone popped their head through.
"Lorelai?" Luke asked, anxiously. "Are you there?"
Spying the two Gilmores, he stepped in to the house. "Oh good, Rorys limbs are still intact."
Lorelai glared at him but playfully. "Did you expect me to rip her to shreds?"
Luke laughed. "I expected you to eat her alive.. at least.. the way you were acting before made it seem like that!"
"Ah well it's not so bad," Lorelai joked. "Though we can't get married now, because they'd end up step brother and sister." She elbowed Luke suggestively.
"I dont think I could manage living with you for one day, let alone a life time," Luke remarked, going slightly red.
Rory watched the two throw sarcastic remarks, jokes, and other little comments at each for at least the next 10 minutes. She watched them, amused, her mind wandering at other things.
"Er... Mum? Luke?" she said, and they both stopped talking. "Is it okay if I go pick the movie now? I need to some other things aswell.."
Lorelai eyed Rory. "Are you sure you're up to it?" she asked.
"Oh sure," Rory laughed, dismissively, "I wont have too much trouble selecting a movie!"
Lorelai nodded, thoughtfully. "Well.. good luck," she said, moving aside to let Rory past her.
'I'll need it' Rory thought, 'Im certain Dean will go off at me again...'
Lorelai was furious. Why? Because Rory had distinctively betrayed both Dean and herself. Her daughter had looked into her eyes the other day, and said she felt absolutely nothing for Jess.
