Lorelai's stress was beginning to pile up. Starting your own business is hard! Lorelai groaned to herself as she came through the front door. It had been a long day at the Inn, Michel was being "Michel", Tom was being "Tom", money concerns were weighing on her mind, and Lorelai just wanted to see Luke. He wasn't even at the Diner for Lunch. Not that I extended my lunch break to wait and see him, which she did. It was just as well, she was busy picking out deisgn books for her, Sookie, and Natalie, the designer they hired, to go through. And of course, the phone rang, just as she stumbled through the door, loaded for bear with books and catologs.. However, she literally dropped everything and eagerly answered it, hoping it was Luke.

"Hello?" She said with a smile on her face.

"Lorelai, it is customary when someone leaves you a message that you return their call in a timely manner. " The distinct voice of Emily Gilmore annouced. Yeah, Caller I.D. would be good about now!

"I thought you didn't leave messages." Talking with my mother, Ah, yes the cherry to an already SUCKY SUNDAE!! Wait it's Saturday, … shoot, I need to call Mrs.Kim about that wardrobe..

"Well, Lorelai, obviously you were avoiding returning my call"

Coming back to the here and now, "or my answering machine is on the fritz." She lied.

"Is it?" I could have sworn it picked up. I can never tell when she is kidding.

Sure why not? "ummm Yeah, it's really werid, I actually have to take it to the store now, ….sooooo if you could make this quick?"

"Well, I'm so glad your electronics take priority over talking to your mother."

Always! "Mom?"

Emily quickly changed the subject "Do you know Natalie Zimmerman?"

"I'm sorry, what?" caught off guard by the question.

"Natalie Zimmerman"Emily repeated.

"Natalie? Ummmmmm well, maybe?" Crap Crap Crap!!

"… Because I called her the other day about sprucing up a room she did for me a year ago, and, as you would say, she blew me off. "

"Well, what did she say? " Please oh please oh please!

"She said she couldn't help me out, but she wouldn't say why, so I leaned on her a bit. She cracked and said she'd made you certain promises."

CRAP!!! "Mom, I never told her she couldn't work for you."

"She said you did. "

"Well, no. Our agreement was – "

"So there was an agreement. "

CRAP! Walked into that one!! "Yes, but -

"To exclude me? "

"No. Well, not exactly." As she plopped exhausted on the couch.

"You know, Lorelai, perhaps it would be easier if you just gave me a list of the people I'm not allowed to have contact with. So far I know there's Natalie and Sookie, anyone else we should add? What about Richard? Am I still allowed to talk to my husband?"

" Mom, this is just a big misunderstanding. Go ahead and hire Natalie. "

"But you'll still have a problem with both of us using her."

"I will cease working with her. She's all yours. I'll tell her tomorrow."

"Oh, wonderful. So it'll be my fault she loses the job. No, Lorelai, you keep her, and I promise I'll never speak to her - ever. If she's bleeding on the side of the road, I'll drive by and pretend I didn't see. "

" Mom. . . "

" I have to go."

"I'm firing Natalie. "

"That's up to you."

" Consider it done."

" I'll see you Friday."

"Yup." Lorelai hung up, Great, another perk of owning your own business she thought sarcastically. All she wanted was to see Luke. To know how the meeting with his lawyer went. To know when they could finish what they started on this very couch. Woaw, missy, you haven't even gone on a Date yet?

She was snapped out of her meditation when Rory came through the door."Mom?"

"Couch" she called.

"I think a book worm threw up by the door?"

"Yeah, the genre didn't sit well in his stomach. Did you have fun with Lane?"

"Yeah, we went to the mall in Hartford, and I'm holding some of her purchases till we can sneak em in her house."

"Fun!" Lorelai offered dryly.

"Always" she picked up on her mom's mood, "Rough day?"

Lorelai sighed, "Yeah, I just need to chill out. I think I'm gonna take a bath." And she got off the couch.

"Want to smell pretty for your man?"

"What?"

"Well, Lane and I stopped by Luke's and he's baaaaaaaaaack." In a "Their HERE" tone.

Lorelai was frozen to the spot? Oh God to bathe or not to bathe? that is the question.

Noticing her mother's dilemma, "Mom? Go De-stress, you could just happen to drop by as he's is closing and free from demanding customers."

And have his full attention? I like that!! "Great!! Good idea!! " And ran up the stairs to beautify herself, a new enthusasim for this evening. Maybe we could talk about going on an actual date!
