Lorelai made some coffee. Well she at least tried to make coffee. She sucked at it actually. The coffee she made always tasted kind of weird. But it had to do until morning. In the morning they would go to Luke's and have the good coffee. Lorelai watched Rory while she took of her coat and sat down at the table. She didn't even look upset. Dean, the boy who Rory claimed to love just broke up with her and she didn't even look upset. And why was Jess always there when Rory had problems with Dean ? She didn't trust that boy, not one bit. Hell, she didn't even like the kid, she was nice to him, because Rory liked him. Rory didn't like him like him, did she ? Rory and Jess were spending a lot of time together lately, but they weren't doing anything else than talking right ?!

L: ''Hey hon, so are you ready to tell me the whole story ?''

R: ''I already told you everything.''

Lorelai gave Rory a cup of coffee and sat down across from her.

L: ''Even if you did.....I wanna hear it again.''

Rory sighed.

R: ''Why ?''

L: ''Because I don't wanna go to bed yet.''

R: ''Well we went to the hospital and when we were done handing out gifts Dean broke up with me.''

L: ''He just broke up with you ? Just like that ? Without a reason ?''

R: ''Eh........................no.''

Rory took a sip of her coffee.

R: ''This coffee is horrible. Thank god we go to Luke's every day.''

L: ''Don't change the subject. I'm an expert on that. Now why did he break up with you ?''

Rory took a deep breath. Here it comes.

R: ''Well we were at the hospital and Jess came to........''

L: ''Watch, I know, you told me that already.''

R: ''Yeah, because he wanted to see what all the fuss was about.''

L: ''I know this too.''

R: While he was there watching, Dean saw him and right after that he broke up with me.''

L: ''Just because Jess was watching ?''

R: ''.............Well.............I saw Jess and I kind of smiled at him and......''

L: ''You kind of smiled at Jess ?''

R: ''Yeah, and Jess smiled back and that's when Dean saw him........smiling at me.''

L: ''Honey, I don't know how to tell you this..........but your story doesn't make any sense.''

R: ''I know mom............''

L: ''Why did he break up with you Rory ?''

R: ''He..................I................and Jess.............''

L: ''Tell me. It's okay.''

R: ''Fine.........Dean broke up with me, because he was jealous of Jess. Dean thought that I had feelings for Jess. Does my story make sense now ?! Dean saw Jess, got mad and broke up with me. Then I wanted to walk home, because I didn't wanna be in the same car with Dean and Jess found me and brought me home.''

L: ''O honey......I'm so sorry for you. Dean has no reason to be jealous of Jess. Right.......?''

R: ''I don't know what to say mom.''

L: ''How about the truth ? You can tell me anything, you know that.''

R: ''You'll get mad.''

L: ''Why would I get mad ? Dean broke up with you.''

R: ''That's the whole point. Dean broke up with me, because he was right. I do have feelings for Jess and I kissed him.''

Lorelai got up.

L: ''What ?! You have feelings for Jess. You're kidding me right ? I mean he's a punk.''

R: ''No mom he isn't ! That's what you think, but he's real sweet if you get to know him.''

L: ''Sweet ?! Rory I know his type. Hell, I even dated guys like him. He will use you Rory. Take advantage of you, because you're so sweet and innocent.''

Rory got up too. Jess would never take advantage of her !

R: ''How do you know ? You don't know Jess, you don't know him at all.''

L: ''Okay I'll admit that. I don't know him, but you've got to trust me.''

R: ''And you have got to trust me. I can choose my own boyfriends.''

Lorelai looked at Rory for a minute. Was Jess her boyfriend ?!

L: ''So now he's your boyfriend ?!''

R: ''No..........not yet anyway.''

L: ''He will never be your boyfriend if I have a say in it.''

Rory couldn't believe her mom. She didn't understand why she liked Jess. She didn't even know Jess, so she had no right to judge him.

R: ''Mom, I don't wanna fight.''

L: ''Me neither hon..........It's just..........it's Jess we're talking about.''

R: ''I know that mom, but maybe he likes me for me. Did you ever think about that ?''

L: ''Of course.........I didn't mean it like that. If he doesn't like you he's a fool.''

R: ''All I'm asking is to give him a chance............for me.''

L: ''Okay............fine. I'll give him a chance, but the minute he hurts you......''

R: ''He won't mom, promise.''

L: ''You don't know that.''

R: ''I don't, but I do know him.''

L: ''Okay you have my permission to date, kiss and do whatever with him.''

R: ''Thanks mom. I love you.''

L: ''Right back at ya babe.''

Lorelai hugged Rory. Maybe Jess wasn't such a bad guy. Everyone had something good in them. And if Rory really liked him, then she would try to like him too.

L: ''Did you tell Luke yet ?''

R: ''No, you can do the honor.''

L: ''But if I do that, the whole town will know. You do know that don't you ?''

R: ''Yes..........I don't care.''

L: ''They'll talk.''

R: ''Let them talk, I don't care what they say.''

L: ''That's my girl. Let's go to bed, I'm tired.''

R: ''Yeah, I'm tired too. Are you sure you're okay about this ?''

Lorelai put out the lights and followed Rory in to the living room.

L: ''I'm sure. So his he a good kisser ?''

R: ''What ?!''

L: ''Well you kissed him right ?''

R: ''Yeah.''

L: ''So is he a good kisser ?''

R: ''Mom, I can't believe you're asking me this.''

L: ''I'm your mom, I need to know everything. Now spill.''

R: ''Yes, he's a good kisser.''

L: ''That's all I wanted to know. Good night hon. Don't forget to dream about Jess.''

R: ''Night mom.''

Rory went in to her room and lay down on her bed with a smile on her face. Her mom got mad, but in the end she was alright with Rory dating Jess. Rory couldn't believe it. She could date Jess. Maybe it was the spirit of Christmas. She got up and got the phone. She just had to tell Lane about this. When she was just about to dial Lane's number she remembered that Lane was probably already sleeping. Rory sighed. Well she would tell Lane tomorrow. But she had to tell someone. Suddenly a name popped in her head. Jess...........he should know. She was going to date him after all. She quickly dialed Luke's number and waited. Her heart was beating like crazy. When Jess answered her heart started to beat even faster.

R: ''Hi........Jess, it's me.''

J: ''Rory...........why are you calling this late ?''

R: ''Sorry........Did I wake you ?''

J: ''No it's fine, so what's up ?''

R: ''I told my mom everything.''

J: ''Even about the kiss ?''

R: ''Yeah.''

J: ''How did she take it ?''

R: ''We had a fight, but everything's fixed. She agreed to give you a chance since I really liked you.''

J: ''You like me ?''

R: ''I'll see you tomorrow.''

J: ''You didn't answer my question Rory.''

R: ''Good night Dodger.''

J: ''Bye.''

Rory hung up and fell asleep with a smile on her face, dreaming of Jess.

In Luke's apartment Jess sat on his bed staring at the phone in his hand. Lorelai was alright with her dating him. He could understand where Lorelai was coming from. He wasn't the nicest guy around and he broke some rules now and then, but he would never hurt Rory. If he ever broke her heart, he would never forgive himself. That's why he would treat Rory right and make sure that her beautiful blue eyes would never cry any tears that he caused. He grabbed a book from under his bed and lay down to read. He looked at the book he just grabbed and smiled. Oliver Twist what a coincidence.....
