Moment of Truth
Lorelai's POV
I tend to watch cheezy movies, and these movies tend to have heroes that eventually say, "Well this is the moment of truth". When you hear it in enough "situations" you start to completely lose the whole point of the saying. With the past events that I have been through, I've found my own interpretation. A month ago, it had been a week since Luke and I made up. I know my time line is a little hard to follow but, deal with it. It's my story. Anyways. we'd made up but something was still wrong. We were just about how we used to be but it felt like we were being. uh. careful. For instance Luke always stood a minimum of a foot away from me! Interesting isn't it? It took me awhile to notice it. Then it hit me. I was sitting at the counter drinking coffee, and thinking, "What was I doing last year today?" It took me a second to recall the day, but once I found it. I replayed the day in my head, and I realized that Luke or I hadn't acted the same since our fight. I couldn't explain it. Just then Luke walked out from the kitchen. I did what anyone would do. I asked, "Luke do you forgive me?" His reply was simply a laugh. And then "Lorelai, how many times are we gonna go over this? Yes I forgive this and no I don't know what my hat is made of" Heh long story. Anyways, if he forgave me why was there still awkwardness? Was I causing it? I went home to ponder. Rory was unfortunately still in Washington so I had no superior mind to help me with this problem. Damn it. Then I got it. My moment of truth. I brushed out my hair (because pondering really messes it up), slipped on my shoes, and ran out the door. I ran until I got to the diner and then I calmly (ok far from calmly more like trying to act calm) walked through the door. Luke greeted me with a face full of suspision. "You do realize you were in here like 10 minutes ago, don't you?" "I need to talk to you. I just had my moment of truth." "Like the heroes in your cheesy movies?" "That's why I like you Luke. You know too much about me and I don't even tell you these things" I laughed quietly at my own pathetic-ness. Then, I broke all the boundaries we had set up in the last month, with a room full of hungry people as my witness. I walked up to Luke close enough to see confusion in his eyes (I'd bet it's confusing when someone walks up to you that close and you don't know why). With seriousness and determination in my voice, the only two words out of my mouth were, "Kiss me". Wow now you could see the confusion in his eyes from a mile away. "What?" He was trying to hide his delight. Heh. I could see it. My reply to his confusion was, "You're never gonna tell me how you feel. And I need-" I was cut off. by the best kiss in my life. This was my other moment. Not exactly truth but. it was definitely a moment.Now laying in Luke's strong arms as I drift off into sleep, I thank god for both moments.
