Chapter One. Love and Not Marriage

Jason Stiles was leading his blindfolded girlfriend by the arm to the center of town square in Stars Hollow, the town where she lived since she was 27, the place she loved almost as much as her daughter, Rory, the place that was truly her 'San Francisco'. As he led her to the Gazebo he felt her heart practically beating through her arm. He was proud of himself, no matter how much he had ignored her or angered her or pissed her off in the past, this would make up for everything, and so much more. He knelt down in the grass as the warm night air gently blew passed his face. He closed his eyes briefly, this was it, he was going to do it.

"Alright, you can look now." Jason said slowly. He watched her expression as she saw him kneeling. It was as if she wasn't there. She was in between knowing what was coming and being in denial.

"Jason, what is this?" She trailed off as Jason reached in his coat pocket and pulled out a small black velvet box and opened it up in front of her. He cleared his throat as he saw her eyes widen, heart stop, and breath slow down.

"Lorelai Gilmore." He said as he let a smile creep onto his lips. " Slash, Umlats." He smiled again as she let out a short laugh. " Back in summer camp, I remember the first day I met you. You know what I thought when I saw you walk into that room?" He saw Lorelai's blank expression and continued. "Damn, she is hot!" Lorelai laughed at this. "No, just kidding. I thought, damn sh- and then I saw Chris walk in behind you." Lorelai silently laughed as her eyes filled up with tears. "Anyway, I never thought that you would ever be, the one on my shoulder at the end of a long day. I never thought we, would ever happen. But we did." He took Lorelai's hand. " And this past year has been, the, the most amazing year, and for once, it has not been so amazing because of a business deal or money, it's because of you. And because of this, I know, that, I want to be able to have many more years like this one, for, the rest of my life. I always want you to be the one on my shoulder, I always want 'us' to be here. I always want, you."

Lorelai was speechless. Tears were freely running down her cheeks and she was struggling to see.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is, well, Lorelai Gilmore, will you marry me?" Jason finished. He smiled as he saw her nod and placed the diamond ring on her finger. He stood up and kissed her passionately. She smiled against his lips. "I love you so much." She told him.

"I love you too." He smiled as he hugged her.

Luke Danes was wiping down the counters in his Diner. It had been a long hard day. He and his wife had decided on a divorce. Decided? More like, fell into a situation in which it was necessary to get a divorce. All right, screw it, she was cheating on him. They never had a normal marriage. They had a spur of the moment marriage, held by the captain, on a cruise ship. By the time they got off of the cruise, they had decided on a divorce, and then a month later, decided not to divorce. Now here they were again. And this time, his heart was broken. He kept scrubbing and scrubbing on the same imaginary stain on the counter until his hand hurt. Then, he picked up the rag and threw it at the wall as his eyes filled up with tears. He walked over to a booth by the window and sat down. He leant his head backwards and closed his eyes.

He heard laughing coming from outside. Since it was around 12:30 he found this strange for Stars Hollow so he looked up. Only to make his day get worse. Outside by the gazebo he saw Jasa-whata on his knees in front of Lorelai Gilmore. His Lorelai. And what more, she was smiling. Damn. Not again. She wasn't going to say yes to somebody else again. He watched as Jason stood up and kissed her. Lorelai. His Lorelai. Okay, she never really was, his, Lorelai. She was his best friend Lorelai, but never, his, Lorelai. The anger came quicker than it had before as he saw her take his hand and walk toward her house. Damn. She couldn't marry Jason, not Jason. He was such a, dork? Okay bad word, um cheese ball? Yeah, that was it, cheese ball. He didn't deserve her. He didn't treat her like she should be treated, like she deserved to be treated. Lorelai needed someone who would be there for her, all the time, no matter what, she needed someone who admired her, who saw beauty through her eyes, she needed, she needed someone who was at least 3 inches taller than her, she needed, him. Luke closed his eyes as he felt a shot of pain go through his head and inhaled deeply. Damn.
