CHAPTER 11: She's Embarrassed, She's Maturing

"I'm so stupid!" cried Lorelai as she paced in front of Rory, who was sitting down on her mother's bed, looking at her sympathetically. "I was humiliated. I blew up at his face, practically telling him that I'm jealous of his…cousin. God!" she rubbed face with her hands as she lands, flat on her back, on her bed.

"Mom we've been over this, you are not stupid!" she said. "There was no way you could have known that Becca was his cousin. I mean, she wasn't very…cousin like to Luke when you first met her, was she?"

"No." she grumbled.

"There you go."

"But whyyyyyyyy! Why did I have to be all…jealousy about this?" she pouted. "I mean, I am his friend, I do not get jealous. And over his cousin too! And that's the other thing," she stood up frustrated, "why was she acting like they were together. That is just…gross. They're cousins for pete's sake! What is wrong with her?"

Rory just shrugged. Lorelai kept on pacing in front of her, "And if she is his cousin, how come everybody in town doesn't know her? I mean, Luke's lived in this town his whole life, and from what I know, so did his parents, so how come nobody knows her?" she continued to pace around as she babbled about Becca and Luke and how stupid she is, as Rory just stared, still in daze by what Becca told her.

She was shocked when Becca told her that they were cousins. She demanded to know why she would even make it believable that her and Luke were going out. Once Becca explained to her why she had done what she did, Rory understood a little.

Luke and her mother were meant to be together. And finally, when her mother had figured out her feelings for Luke, her heart was broken because Luke's cousin came to view. She asked her why and Becca explained. Rory agreed that her mother needed a little help on figuring out her feelings for Luke.

After Becca explained herself, Rory immediately ran towards the inn to look for her mom, wanting to tell her about Becca, but was informed that she went home. So she ran to her house only to find her mother, frantic because she already knew and made a fool of herself at Doose's.

"I can never show my face in town again." Lorelai went on dramatically, sitting down next to Rory.

"Now, now. Don't be dramatic." said Rory, stroking her mother's hair. "I'm sure nobody in the market saw or heard…anything." she offered lamely. Lorelai just gave her a pointed look. "Ok so they heard."

"I'm so embarrassed." she whined.

"I know, I know." she sighed. "Hey, why don't we just stay in for today? Be isolated from the town? You were already planning on a movie day. Let's start now."

Lorelai smiled at her daughter. "Ok."

"Good." Rory said, anything to keep her mother's mind off of Luke and Becca. "Let's watch 'My Best Friends Wedding', I haven't seen that one in a looooong time."

Lorelai nodded, then groaned.

"What?" Rory asked.

Lorelai pouted. "I also suggested they get married."

Becca heard the apartment door open and closed. She stepped out of the bathroom, clad in her jeans, and baby blue, all star t-shirt, with her hair bundled in towel. She walked over to the kitchen and saw Luke making tea and sandwiches.

"Hey, where've you been?" she asked, sitting down on the kitchen table. She unwrapped the towel of her head, her wet hair bounced, as she dried it with the towel. Luke said nothing, just turned around and placed a, somewhat thick folder in front of her. "What are these?" she asked, skimming through the folder.

"Help Wanted ads." he replied gruffly. He poured Becca and himself a cup of tea as he spoke. "I looked over them, they're just in the area. They should be pretty easy for you." he sat down in front of her, handing her a sandwich and a cup of tea.

"Thanks." she said, taking a bite then looked through the folder. They were pretty easy, some for boutiques, the beauty store, the book store, the theater, restaurants. "Wow, a lot of waitresses needed in Connecticut." she commented.

"Well, since you're already having experienced from working here, I thought it'd be easy." Becca nodded. "I also got some applications from stores around town. Later on today, or maybe tomorrow, when you've finished looking through those, we can go to the library and make you a resume."

Becca was giddy. "Wow, I've never made a resume before." she smiled.

Luke, set down his tea and raised his brows. "You kidding?"

Becca shook her head sadly. "Afraid not. Daddy was the one who referenced me to my job, which was an easy way in. I got hired right away. And my other jobs included taking care after the Markson's kids and helping out at the bar."

Luke shook his head. Becca can be such a daddy's girl sometimes.

"Thanks Luke." Becca said sincerely. "For doing this."

"No problem. What are cousins for."

Becca giggled and looked through the folder. "Oh hey," she said, after a moment. "I met Rory today."

Luke jerked his head up to meet her eyes. "You did."

Becca can saw the surprise in Luke's eyes, "Yeah. Great kid. So much like Lorelai." Luke nodded absentmindedly. "And very intelligent too."

"I know."

"She saw right through me." she said slowly.

"Right, through…you?"

She explained, "She figured I wasn't your girlfriend. And that there was more to the story than meets the eyes."

"She did?" he wasn't surprise.

"Yeah."

"And when was this?" he was trying to figure out if Lorelai had already told her.

"This afternoon, after you left for the market." Luke nodded. "She asked me all these kinds of questions, and she's kind of intimidating." Luke chuckled. "So, I just told her. And the possibility of Lorelai knowing that we're cousins is very high right now."

"Well she should know since I told her."

Becca put down the papers. "You did? When?"

"Probably about he time you told Rory."

"Why?"

"Because, you were right, she was jealous, and she was getting really mad. So just to get her to shut up, I told her." he said. "Of course, she was also suggesting we get married. And then it became a bit too weird for me, so."

Becca giggled. "Sorry." she said sincerely. "If it weren't for me, trying to make Lorelai jealous, then non of this would have happened."

"It's ok. At least I know she's jealous." he smirked.

"See? I told you she likes you. Now all you have to do is act up on it."

Luke shrugged. "Maybe."

"Oh come on. You already have proof that she likes you, what more could you ask?"

"She's still my friend. And I just want to really make sure that she does feel that way."

"My god you are such a girl." she said exasperated.

Luke rolled his eyes. "Anyways, I just want to be 100 percent sure. I really, really love her."

Becca looked into Luke's eyes and can really see that he truly means it. She had never seen that look on him before. Not with the girls he's been with when they were young. Not even with Rachel, good thing too. She really hated Rachel. The look in his eyes suits him. He really does love Lorelai.

"I know you do." she smiled. Then looked back down to the papers. "Ok, well, I really like working in the diner, so I guess being a waitress is a possibility. I like the whole idea at working in boutiques, though the pay is really low." she says as she crosses off some things, circle and check on some others . "Ok, here are the jobs that I would be interested in." she smiled, sliding the folder towards him.

Luke looked at the folder and smiled, a lot of things were checked. "Wow, that's a lot. I've gotta say, you are starting to become more mature."

"Thank you."

"Alright," he said, "we'll start tomorrow with the resume, and then after, we'll start the job hunt."
