Five in One

(In the diner)

It has been said that you need five men to have the equivalent of one man that would make your Mr. Right. One to fix things, one to go dancing with, one who can pay for things, one that is a good listener and talker, and one that you can have great sex with.

"But is that true with me?" Lorelai thought to herself as Rory was telling her of a book she had just finished reading stating these things.

"Is that true with all the men I've dated?" she asked of Rory.

Rory just looked at her and said, "Well, let's just go down the line. Dad?"

"Good dancer, can't fix shit, can't pay for shit, ok talker, bad listener, and the sex…"

"That part just go through in your mind please!" her daughter quickly said to her not wanting to know those details about her mother.

"The sex not to sure... He was the first person I did it with but, still can't really say it was good," she thought to herself shielding Rory of such facts.

"Ok, how about Max?" Rory said drawing Lorelai from her thoughts.

"Um, fixing things horrible, dancing-wise kind of a two stepper couldn't really pay for things, great listener and talker, and the sex…."

Rory stopped her. "PLEASE!"

"Ok, Ok fine."

"Alex?"

"Wasn't really with him long enough to really know about some of those things."

"Jason?"

"Um….he sucked on all levels."

"Oh ok then…Luke?"

"Well we both know he can fix things, he's a surprisingly terrific dancer, I mean Fred Astaire could have a run for his money with that waltz of his. He pays for almost everything when we go out and buys me flowers and such for no particular reason. He's a great listener and I never tire of talking to him."

"And, the sex is amazing! Like in When Harry Met Sally and Harry made that woman meow!" That last part she thought to herself again to shield her daughter's poor ears.

"So…?" was all Rory had to say.

"Uh, be right back." Lorelai said, she got up and walked to the counter.

"Luke?"

"Yes?" He asked smiling, at her. His face softened at the very sight of her.

"Can we go upstairs? I need to talk to you."

"Um…Ok, sure."

When they got to his apartment he just looked at her and asked, "So, what's up?"

She just looked at him for a while. Then she leaned in and kissed him. Soft at first but then it quickly escalated into something more passionate and heated. Finally they pulled apart when air became a factor.

"What was that for?" he asked.

"I love you."

"What?"

"I love you, Luke."

"You do?"

"Yes."

"Where did this come from?"

"Well Rory was telling me about this book she read and it saying that you would need five men to equal one perfect man, and we went down the list of all my old boyfriends and all of them prove that theory except for you. You are the perfect man and that pointless little conversation about my ex-boyfriends made me realize that you are perfect and I love you."

He just gazed into her eyes kissed her once sweetly, "I love you, too."
