9:05
That's what the clock said as she ran out the door.
9:05
He was 4 hours late. No call- nothing.
9:05
That's what the clock said when he walked through the door and sat next to her, like nothing was wrong. Calm as can be, she sat there looking like crap.
Lorelai rushed into the house as the phone began to ring. Out of breath she slid over to the phone and answered, "Yello!"
"Hey… you okay?" asked the concerned voice after noticing her out of breath state.
"Yeah, yeah… I am fine my love," In a very flirty voice.
"Well, I have some good new," said Luke
"Oh! Oh! Oh! Tell me!" Lorelai pleaded into the phone.
"Okay well, we are on time and everything is going as planned. Which means I will be at your place about 5 o'clock cause I have to drop April at home," he said.
She caught it when he said "your place" but didn't say anything.
"Yay! I've missed you," she said getting quieter at the end.
"Hey, I've missed you too… what's wrong?" Luke asked now very concerned.
"Oh, its nothing. Just missed you that's all," Lorelai said trying to sound fine.
"Okay well I have to go. See you at 5… I love you." Luke said sweetly.
"Aww…I love you too. Buh-bye"
9:05
That's when he walked through the door. She had been sitting on the couch for 4 hours… waiting.
After she got the call, she decided to go dress up and get ready for the long awaited homecoming. She ran upstairs to shower. She used the strawberry body wash and shampoo because Luke loves it.
When she was done, she walked into her room in only a towel. She searched her closet and found a red dress that fit her curves perfectly. It is strapless with glitter stones lining the area above her breasts. She found the perfect red-strapped heels that tie up her calve. She let her hair go curly just like Luke likes it. She noticed that he likes to play with her hair when they kiss. She added some make up and was ready to go.
She looked at the clock, shocked. She was 30 minutes early. Ugh now she has to wait. So she went downstairs sat on the couch and waited… and waited… and waited.
And there she sat, sunken into the couch cushions. Make up running down her face caused by silent tears. And there… sat Luke completely and utterly confused.
"You okay?" asked Luke gently rubbing her arms. That's when she couldn't handle it anymore.
"Sure, I'm fine… I'm always fine… Everything is always fine. It's fine that you didn't tell me about April for 2 months. It's fine that you don't want me to meet her. Its fine that we never make love, hell let alone sleep in the same bed together. So well if that's all fine then its also fine that you said you would be at "my place"" she made sure she used air quotes," … by 5 but its 9:095 and you walk in the door, like nothing is wrong! Yep, everything is fine!" she screamed and ran out the door and jumped into her car. She sat for a minute or two to see if he would run after her… no such luck. Silent tears rushing down her face, she drove off.
She drove in circles trying to figure out where she was going to go. Finally she remembered Sookie was working really late so she sped off to the Dragonfly… not noticing an old green truck following close behind.
