"See, I told you he liked you!" Rory laughed.

"Aw, Rory, I don't know... He's so nice." Lorelai replied.

"So, what's the problem?"

"It's just... if things don't work out, then we'll still have to see each other every day. And that'll be weird... but I don't want it to be weird cause he's really nice. And..."

Rory held up her hand to stop Lorelai's rambling. "Mom... just give him a chance." Rory smiled.

Lorelai sighed, "Thank you, Rory."

"For what?" Rory asked surprisingly.

"For being the most amazing daughter in the whole word. For supporting me and backing me up... and just being there." Lorelai smiled. "I don't know what I would do with out you."

"Back at cha." Rory grinned. "Good night."

"Good night."

Lorelai sat on the couch for a while reading one of her favorite novels, when the sudden ring of the phone came out of deep silence, her heart nearly broke her chest.

"Hello?" Lorelai answered looking at the clock that clearly showed 12:03 am."

"Hey, Lorelai."

"Matt?" Lorelai asked.

"Yeah, it's me." A friendly voice replied.

"Is something wrong?"

"No..." Matt laughed. "Why would you ask me that?"

"Cause, it's midnight and you called me." Lorelai noted.

"Oh, I'm sorry, did I wake you?"

"No, but..."

"Were you on the phone with someone else?"

"No..."

"Then we're good." Matt ended.

"No, Matt we're not good." Lorelai clarified. "It's midnight." she repeated this time with a little sound of annoyance in her voice. "I don't usually receive phone calls at midnight unless something is wrong."

"I know this." Matt replied. "Lorelai," he began. "I can't stop thinking about you."

"You're kidding?" Lorelai asked.

"I'm not." Matt replied. "I've been trying to sleep for hours. I can't get the girl with the beautiful brown hair, and the gorgeous blue eyes off my mind."

"You think my eyes are gorgeous?" Lorelai teased, becoming less annoyed and more interested.

"I think they are the most magnificent shade of blue that the good Lord above ever created." Matt added. "And since I've been laying here for hours, wondering how I'm going to wait til tomorrow night to see you, I decided I'll call you and tell you ... I can't stop thinking about you. You've deprived me from sleep all night Lorelai Gilmore."

Lorelai's face lit up with a shine and she felt a tingly feeling run through her body. She had to give him credit he was quite the romantic.

"I'll let you go." He finally said. "But I'll still be laying here thinking of you."

"I'm sorry I'm depriving you of sleep." Lorelai added sweetly.

"Make it up to me tomorrow... Good bye, Lorelai."

"Good bye Matthew." Lorelai smiled and hung up the phone.

(The next morning)

"Mom..." Rory shook her mother gently.

"Hm?" Lorelai replied, still half asleep.

"It's 10:30." Rory said. "You've been sleeping all morning."

"Five more minutes." Lorelai said and turned over on the couch.

"Mom... The movie marathon starts in half an hour." Rory added. "We've barely got enough time to go buy barrels and barrels of junk food."

Lorelai laid there, lifeless. Rory walked into the kitchen and poured a hot steaming cup of coffee. She took it back into the living room and maneuvered it around Lorelai's face.

Lorelai inhaled deeply. "Mmmm... Coffee." She whispered.

"If you get up... you can have some." Rory said teasingly.

With a groan and a mumble Lorelai rose from the couch. "You're good." she replied.

"Thank you." Rory smiled. "You look like you was up all night."

"I was." Lorelai confirmed taking a sip of her coffee.

"How come?" Rory asked.

"Reading for the most of it... the rest of it, I spent thinking about Matthew." Lorelai smiled a little towards the end of her sentence.

"You sat up all night thinking of Matthew?" Rory raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah." Lorelai paused as she remembered the phone call. "He called last night."

"He did?"

"Yes." Lorelai's face began to blush a little. "He called to say he couldn't stop thinking about me. I know it sounds so jr. highish but it was so sweet."

"Wow... sounds like he really digs you." Rory joked. "If you want I can run down to Doose's and buy all the candy myself. That'll give you time to freshen up a bit before the movie marathon."

"That would be great." Lorelai replied.

"Although, I'm a bit unsure on how much candy we'll need to last us til 12:00 tonight." Rory added.

"12:00 tonight?" Lorelai asked. "Wow...That's a long time."

"Yeah... That's the whole point of a movie marathon." Rory smiled. She noticed Lorelia's eye gazing into the air, she was thinking of something, obviously. "What's wrong?"

"Rory... I'm so sorry." Lorelai began.

"For what?"

"I told Matthew I'd go out with him tonight. He's picking me up at 7:00."

Rory's face lost all of its emotions, and he heart dropped to the ground. Never had she felt such disappointment. Her mother was actually turning her down for a guy.

"Oh." Rory finally managed to say.

"You understand, right?" Lorelai asked hopefully. "I mean he's such a great guy, and if I canceled on him I'd probably never get him to reschedule."

"Yeah, I understand."

"But hey, we can still watch it until like 6:00..." Lorelai smiled, trying to cheer Rory up. "That's like 7 hours of movies..."

"But you'll miss the top 3 movies of the 1940's." Rory replied showing a little heartbreak this time. "It's going in order of great to greatest."

"Aww... babe, I'm sorry." Lorelai said stroking the back of Rory's head. "There'll be other marathons."

"Why can't there be other dates?" Rory asked her voice sounding crushed and deeply saddened.

"Hey, we'll spend the whole day together, tomorrow. Just you and me.. And we'll do whatever you like. How does that sound?" Lorelai asked optimistically.

Rory paused, she noticed how happy her mother was about the date, and she figured it best to just not ruin it for her. "That sounds great." Rory replied while faking a smile.
