Meant for Each Other

By Ali Johnson

Summary:

Lorelai and Luke belong with each other. But they can never seem to get together. Who knows what it is but this is how it would be if they were.

Chapter 1. How They Might Have Met

When Lorelai ran away from home with Rory and went to the Independence Inn, maybe she found out she could get a job there from the guy who gave her coffee in town.

Now I'm not so good at writing romance, and only romance stories, so sit back while I do my best to write my idea of a good couple.

So, here goes nothing, I guess.

Lorelai POV

When I entered the town, people stared at me. Stars Hollow, I thought, yep, most defiantly the friendly looking type. Well I probably do look weird, like a lost little kid with a kid of her own. I looked around the small town.

"God, there must be food around here somewhere," She said to herself.

"Well, Luke's Diner has some pretty good stuff," A man sitting on the bench behind her said. He was a small built man and tall, with almost an annoying demeanor.

"What?" I asked

"Luke's Diner, it has food, sorry, I kind of over heard you," He said

"Thank you," I replied, people over hear you, just lovely, "Lorelai, and this is Rory,"

"Nice to meet you, hi, Rory." He said, and then he went back to reading his book.

"And you are?" I asked

"Oh, sorry, Kirk, I'm the mailman."

"Nice to meet you," I said. I walked over to the diner.

There was a man serving tables. He looked grumpy with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt on. He had a flannel shirt over the t-shirt that was rolled up to his elbows and a backwards baseball cap on.

"Are you Luke?" I asked him.

"Depends on who's asking," He replied

"Look, I just want food and maybe coffee, do you have good coffee?" I said

"Coffee, sure." He said. One of the costumers looked up.

"Luke, can I get a refill," He asked.

"I don't know Taylor, can you?" Luke replied

"Aha!" I said

"Aha what?" Luke asked

"So you are Luke!" I replied

"Never said I wasn't." Luke replied pouring me coffee, he ignored Taylor.

"Uh, Luke, coffee?" Taylor said again. Then Rory began to cry.

"Look Taylor, you're upsetting the kid, so why don't you shut up?" Luke said

"Aw," I said, "Is little Rory hungry?" I asked quietly, "Luke you are most defiantly full of sunshine."

I began to roll up my shirt to feed Rory. Luke looked at me.

"What are you doing?" He asked

"What does it look like?" I asked

"You're not breast feeding in here." Luke forbid

"Then where do you suggest I do it?" I asked

"Not here." Luke replied

"Well, then Rory will just have to starve at your hands." I said

Luke sighed, "Fine, go in the back you can do it there." He pushed me into the back.

"So," I began, "You're not in any need of help or anything are you?"

"What do you mean?" He asked

"Well, you're not looking for any new employees, are you?"

"Here," He said, "Go to the Independence Inn, they'll give you a job, if I know anything."

"And I should trust you on that?" I asked, maybe Chris was right; maybe I was too trusting.

"You don't have to, here, coffee, on the house." He said

"You are a very kind person." I replied. I took a drink, "Oh my God, this is the best coffee I have ever tasted."

"Thank you." Luke said.

An hour later, I was at the Inn and I had a job. Then I knew what to do.

"I'll be back, could you watch Rory for me?" I asked the owner. She nodded and I ran back to Luke's.

"Back already?" He asked.

"Thank you, Luke." I replied

"What are you thanking me for, what did I do?" Luke asked

I hugged him, "You recommended the Inn, and now Rory can live somewhere, and not with crazy people like my parents."

"Well, you're welcome." Luke said, "Now take your hands off me."

"I'm Lorelai, if I didn't tell you before." I said

"Well, now I know who you are, planning on staying in town long?" Luke asked

"Why?" I asked

"Just wondering, because I have to tell you the people here are just about as crazy as anyone else on the block." Luke said

"You clearly have not met Richard and Emily," I said, "Oh yeah, that's when you might want some one like Mary Poppins around, I mean, as long as she takes the clouds away."

"You have a very strange sense of humor." Luke informed me

"Thank you," I replied.

"Now let go of me," Luke said

"As you wish," I replied, "Well I got to get back, I left Rory back with the Inn owner and I don't want her to get worried about me."

"Well, go then," Luke said. I ran off.

"Thank you Luke!" I yelled back. He just waved and went back inside, and even from the distance she could hear Taylor

"Luke, Coffee!"

I laughed... yep; this town is defiantly where I belong. Not where Emily Gilmore lives with her stuffy cocktail parties and the maids and the crap. I belong where this weird person and all his un-friends, cause I'm not really sure he likes anyone on earth.

End Chapter 1.

I don't care if you flame me if you think it's horrible. Review, even if it's like one word like 'bad' or 'good' or something random like 'fish' or 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' or something. So help me here critique me or compliment me. Thank you!
