Ok I know I said I would focus on one story but I just like writing them too much! :p
I always thought it was sad that Lorelai couldn't tell Rory about her first kiss with Luke straight away. This is set at the end of season 4/beginning of season 5 but without Rory sleeping with Dean. I always wondered how Rory would react to Lorelai rushing home all happy after kissing Luke. So this is from that point but without the Rory/Lorelai fight and Rory sleeping with Dean. Again, like my others this will be a javajunkie story but there will be plenty of Rory as well and plenty of obstacles in their lives to overcome. :) Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 1
Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! I just kissed Luke! Lorelai rushed home to find Rory who had gone back for some cds but was taking a long time.
"Rory! You're missing everything!" Lorelai shouted as she ran through the front door. "I'll give you this teaser! Kirk running naked down the stairs!" She went to get some first aid things because she knew that they would probably be needed at the inn. She came down when she didn't hear an answer. "Rory?"
Rory came out of her room. "Sorry mom! Lane called and I lost track of time. Here are the cds." She smiled handing them over to her mom. "What were you saying about Kirk being naked?"
"He ran down the stairs naked because he thought assassins were following him." Lorelai grinned.
"Of course he did." Rory said. "So is that all I missed? Did you get rid of Jason?"
"Oh my god Jason! I totally forgot about him!" Lorelai exclaimed. "Oh my god, what if he saw..."
"What if he saw what?" Rory asked leaving the house with her mom heading back to the inn.
"Me and Luke kissed." She blurted out.
"Wow!" Rory said surprised.
There were a few minutes silence as they drove back to the inn.
"Rory? Say something..." Lorelai said.
"Um...I guess I was right when I said it sounded like you were dating..." She said.
"Is this too weird? Because I can tell him no if it is..." Lorelai said.
"But you don't want to?" Rory asked.
"I don't know. We were fighting about Jason and then Luke was saying all these things about giving me signs and then it just happened on the front porch." She said.
"Well did you talk after?"
"No, Kirk interrupted us."
Rory smirked. "Ah naked Kirk.."
They arrived at the inn and went in. They were met by Luke who was standing next to Kirk who was lying front down on the sofa.
"Oh my god, is he ok?" Lorelai asked.
"He fell into the rose bush." Luke said.
"Aw poor Kirk." Rory said.
"I brought first aid things." Lorelai said.
"Good thinking!" Luke said.
"Urghh..." Kirk started to wake up.
"How you doing Kirk?" Rory asked.
"Is Luke there?" He asked.
"I'm right here, Kirk."
"Sorry I bit you!"
"No problem Kirk!"
Lorelai smirked and looked at Luke. "He bit you?"
"The assassins..." Kirk said.
"They're gone Kirk, I think you imagined them." Rory said, trying to hide a smirk.
Sookie then came down. "Oh a party! What's going on?" She said joining them. "Ohhh..." She said seeing Kirk.
"Kirk thought assassins were chasing him." Rory filled her in.
"What about Luke and Lorelai kissing? Did I imagine that too?" Kirk asked.
Sookie laughed. "I think so..." She said.
Luke looked at the ground and went red. He wasn't even sure if Rory knew yet. Rory smirked looking at their faces while Sookie nearly dided from excitement. She pulled them over to the desk while Rory comforted Kirk.
"You and you! When did this happen? Oh my god, I'm so happy!" She exclaimed.
Lorelai glanced at Luke and gave him a small smile. They hadn't talked about it yet so she wasn't even sure what the kiss meant.
The next morning, everyone was in the dining room having breakfast. Lorelai and Rory came down to find Luke hovering by the door.
"I'm just going to go have breakfast mom." Rory said leaving them to talk.
Lorelai nodded and went over to Luke. "Hi." She said.
"Hi." He replied.
"So last night..." Lorelai said nervously.
"It was..." He started.
"Eventful..." Lorelai finished for him.
"Yeh."
"Yeh.
God why is this so awkward? It's Luke. I'm never awkward around him. Lorelai thought but couldn't help but see him in a new light.
"Well I should head back to the diner. I left Caesar in charge." He said.
"Oh right. Ok." Lorelai said.
"Maybe we can talk later?" He asked awkwardly.
"Yeh. We'll talk later. Definitely." Lorelai smiled.
"Good. I'll see you then." Luke smiled.
Lorelai let out a breath and went to join Rory.
"Sooooo?" She smirked.
"We're talking later." Lorelai told her.
"And you're not happy about that?" Rory asked confused.
"No I just don't know what to say." She sighed.
"Well just say how you feel. Do you want to date Luke?" Rory asked tentatively.
"I...think so. Yeh." Lorelai said. She then smiled. "Yeh I think I do."
Rory smiled. "I'm happy for you mom." She said sincerely.
"It won't be weird for you? You've told me before not to date him."
"That was years ago and I didn't want you to ruin it." Rory said. "But now. I can just see it. You make each other happy."
Lorelai smiled. "Thanks. So you're ok with it?"
"I love Luke mom. I want you to be happy."
Lorelai grinned and started thinking about the talk they were going to have later that day.
That afternoon, both Rory and Lorelai walked into the diner and picked a table by the window to sit down at. Luke spotted them and went over.
"Hey Luke!" Rory smiled at him.
"Hey Rory! Your usual?" He asked.
"Yes please!"
He turned to Lorelai. "And you?"
"Cheeseburger please!" She smiled. "And um...can we talk now?" She added nervously.
"Yeh come on up." He said.
Rory watched her mom disappear up the stairs and smirked.
They went into Luke's apartment. "Soooo?" He said echoing Lorelai from earlier.
"We kissed..." She said. She waited for him to respond but he didn't. "You and me, we kissed?"
"I remember." He said.
"It was unexpected.." She said not really knowing what to say.
"Look, it's ok if you want to forget it ever happened." He said.
"What? No. It was a great kiss." She said surprised. She then started to doubt herself. "Do you want to forget it ever happened?"
Luke smiled. "Dear god no."
Lorelai grinned. "So we concur." She stated.
"Yep we concur."
"Good." Lorelai smiled, genuinely happy. She leaned forward and gave him another kiss.
"Rory..." He said once they pulled away.
"Well if you're going to say my daughter's name after kissing me, I don't think this is going to work..." She teased him.
"No um I mean. I'm guessing she knows." He said.
"Yeh and she said she wants me to be happy." Lorelai smiled at his concern.
"Oh. Good." He said visibly relaxing.
"We should get back down there. She'll be waiting." She smiled.
They went back down and Lorelai sat back down with her daughter.
"So?" Rory prompted.
"We're going to give it a go." She smiled, glancing over at Luke working.
Rory watched her mom's face and the big smile she was wearing. "Good. I'm glad, mom." She said genuinely happy for her.
Hope you liked it! Let me know what you think! I love reading your reviews! :)
