Younger Man Java Junkie sept 25 2002 5:41 pm Disclamer- I dont own Gilmore Girls.....I hope you already knew that.......'cause I dont........no kidding.....I really dont....honestly......



Stunned Lorelai began shaking herhead before choking out "No...NO this isnt happening...."

"Lorelai..."Jess pleaded.

"How could you".

"It wasnt a one sided thing"

"You mustve noticed who I was"

"I didnt. Honestly"

"Your just a..."

"I'm not the seventeen year old boy who kissed your daughter Lorelai. I'm an adult"

"YOU Kissed Rory"

"You didnt know"

"Oh God how could I... I hate you" with that she climbed in the cab as she did so Jess said "Heres my

number" Jess standing in front of the car door and dropping a paper in her purse then stepping back onto the curb.

"I dont care" was Lorelais reply as she slammed the cab door.

A crying Lorelai crawled up on her couch a melting pint of ice cream on the table. She nervously dialed

Rory's number. She got her machine.

"Hello...This is Lorelai Gilmore, I'm not home right now but leave a message and I'll be sure and get back

to you *beep* "

"Rory this is mom, I really need ...." Lorelai was cut off by Rory answering the phone and saying "Hello"

"Hey kid how are you"

"Mom. I'm fine. Is somethng wrong"

"Huh. not not really how are you"

"I'm fine a little busy though"

"Oh."

"So..."

"Do you ever think about um... Jess"

"Luke's Jess"

"Uh yeah"

"Why is he alright"

"Um.. yea. I mean I dunno.. I mean how would I know right.."

"Mom your babbling. What is it"

"Do you...think about him.. Jess"

"Not really. I mean back then he was so important to me. But then he left and I saw that it was some passing infatuation why"

"Curious"

"You hated Jess"

"I didnt"

"You did"

"Did not"

"Mom I cant do this right now"

"You use to"

"Mom I'm sorry but, I have more important things to do .... I'm sorry I didnt mean it like that.. Mom"

"Oh. Hey dont worry about it Kid. I understand. I love you Bye"

"I lo.." Rory was cut off by Lorelai hanging up.



"I am the worst mother ever" Lorelai hollered. Before climbing the stairs and climbing into bed, fully dressed.



Lorelai went back to her 'normal' attitude. It had been 4 days since she'd seen Jess. Rory called once and left a message on the machine saying "Mom it's me Rory I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I love you bye call me".

Finally in amoment of self admition. Lorelai admitted her blood surging when she was with Jess. He made her feel like she was so amazing. Even though they spent only spent 15 minutes together. Why couldnt he have been someone else? Someone older? Someone who hadnt kissed her daughter?

Then Lorelai realizing if she didnt do something she'd regret it. She knew what it was like to just wait and see.. to just let fate decide. Fate hated her. So she got the number out of her purse and dialed the number....
