A/N: Hey! This is a little Luke and Lorelai story I wrote a while ago. Each chap is named after some of my fave songs. The Story "Scratch Your Name" is a song by The Noisettes. I love it.
This chap is named after "There's A Star" by Ash. It's a song that reminds me of when I was a little younger. When my dad moved I saw this and well.. at the time I was pretty pissed at him so I nicked some of his CDs and this was one of them. I gave the others back but.. I still have this one 4 years on! I speak to him now.. but I still haven't told him I nicked it. Oh and this chap has some of it's lyrics too. My fave parts. :o)
Anyway.. I hope you enjoy. It's a 6 part story. Not too long I hope. All chaps will be up today unless my net busts.
So, Enjoy!
Take Care
There's A Star
"Come on!"
"No."
"Please!"
"I told you. I. Don't. Dance."
"Oh, come on, just one!" she pouted.
"Lorelai" he sighed exasperated.
She just fluttered her eyelashes in response.
"Fine! One Dance!"
He stood, rolling his eyes at her smile and sparkling eyes, knowing he'd given in like a child. She grabbed his hand and he let her pull him to the dance floor.
As the first few bars played Lorelai wrapped her arms around Luke's neck, as his arms cautiously slid to rest at her waist.
"Liz looks really happy." She smiled, not noticing Luke's hesitance.
Luke followed her gaze over to the happy couple that were dancing a few yards away.
"Yeah, she does."
"She's lucky to have you."
Luke snorted and looked down at her, his face screwed up with disbelief, "You think?" he drawled, dripping with sarcasm.
She pulled her gaze away and looked up at him.
"Yes. I do. Seriously, you're a great brother. You don't give yourself enough credit. Liz told me. She said she really respects you. And she's incredibly grateful. You've really helped her out."
Luke blushed and looked away, uncomfortable with the compliments Lorelai was paying.
"Hey" she said, getting him to look at her. "You're a great guy Luke."
"Tonight there's no denying, no there's no denying,
There's something magic in the air"
Luke simply looked at her. His eyes burning into hers, connecting, the world melting away. Lorelai tightened her grip as she stepped closer to him, her chest bumping into his.
"Emotional disorder, came from out of nowhere,
And took me unaware"
His hand left her hip, coming up to brush a stray lock of hair away from her face.
"The patterns of the oceans, lost in her emotions,
You know that I don't care"
She tilted her face up to him, his hand still cupping her face but looking into her eyes he forget where his hand was, unthinkingly stroking her cheek with his thumb.
"On nights when the north wind blows through your heart..
Dream of a new age."
His eyes searched hers, finding no objection, just openness and trust, he bent his head down towards hers.
"On nights when the north wind blows through your heart..
All I can do is wait."
Their lips met and fused together, slow and gentle, a languid first kiss of exploration, before the need to breathe drew them apart. Lorelai smiled up at him, then turned her head to rest against his shoulder in the crook of his neck.
"There's a star in the night sky,
The kind of star we would be hoping for..
There's a star in the night sky,
The kind of star we would be dreaming of…"
"This is perfect." She sighed contentedly.
"Yeah." He paused. "It is." He softly concurred, pressing a kiss into her hair.
Luke leaned down and kissed his sisters cheek, before pulling back from the hug and turning to shake TJ'S hand.
"Have a good time." He waved at the two before the newlyweds climbed into the taxi waiting to take them to the airport for their flight to their honeymoon.
As the taxis taillights sped off into the distance Luke smiled and turned to Lorelai.
"So.." she said walking towards him "I just spoke to Miss Patty." Coming to a stop next to him arms crossed above her chest.
"Oh yeah?" he asked whilst shrugging his jacket off.
"Yeah, and apparently as we were kissing there was a shooting star above us."
"Yeah, right." He said raising an eyebrow. "It just happened to be there eh?" He wrapped his jacket round Lorelai's shoulders.
"Thanks" she smiled before continuing with the tale, "According to her and Babette this is a good omen. A good luck sign for our relationship they said."
Luke chuckled.
"Of course they then informed me of how they'd been praying for this for years. I'm thinking that if Andrew, who is by the way drunk as a skunk, had come over and puked on our feet then that would have been a good omen."
"Aw, jeez Lorelai. Nice."
Lorelai shrugged, "I legged it after Babette uttered "Luke's butt.. " He followed her gaze over to a crowd of people, Miss Patty and Babbette holding court at the center of them.
"Whoa! Lets avoid them." He said turning them away, "Diner?" he asked, seeing as they were heading in that direction.
"Coffee? Of course!" she grinned. "You sure know how to pamper a girl."
He rolled his eyes causing Lorelai to giggle.
"Whatever" he grumbled, as she slipped her hand into his and squeezed it.
