Chapter one - Possibly a one-shot, possibly a multi-chapter fic, depending on the response.
Luke is with Rachael, Lorelai is with Max, but we all know that they cannot keep their true feelings hidden. It's just - duh!
Affairs and Lies.
Luke and Lorelai had been friends for almost four years now. Lorelai no longer saw him as 'Duke' the coffee provider. Now, he was their Luke, gruff and grumpy diner owner friend.
Lorelai recalled once upon a time asking Rory's opinion of their close friend Luke, quickly rebuffing any allegation that she had romantic feelings for the man mind you. She couldn't really think of Luke like that anymore, or any man for that matter. She was with Max, a smart, witty, incredibly kind and handsome man. She really, really liked this Max, so technically, she was off the market anyway.
As Lorelai and Rory entered Luke's Diner on the Thursday morning that it was, they were both surprised by the site of Luke's girlfriend Rachael dressed in one of his flannels, working on getting the two corner tables spotless for the next customers.
"Huh, Rachael seems to be getting pretty comfortable around here, don't ya think?" Lorelai asked Rory as she took off her coat.
"Well, that's probably a good thing I guess, if she and Luke are going to be staying together," Rory said, oblivious to Lorelai's thoughts.
"Yeah, you're probably right, I just hope that Luke doesn't get heartbroken again," Lorelai told her daughter.
"I'm not sure, I don't know Rachael very well, but she seems kind of flimsy, a jealous kind of woman, you know?" Rory asked her mother.
"Yeah, exactly, that's exactly what I was thinking, she'd subtly kill you," Lorelai said casually.
"W-what?" Rory stammered.
"You know, if you put your foot on her turf, she wouldn't be one of those obvious murders who plans things out, only to be caught by the cops," Lorelai started, "She'd make it look like an accident and her 'Elle-McPherson' looks would get her home scott-free," Lorelai said with an evil smirk.
"Wow, you have way too much time on your hands if you're thinking about whether or not Luke's current girlfriend would get caught for your murder, what's going on with you?" Rory asked.
"Nothing, I just – I don't know if Rachael's right for him," Lorelai said softly.
At that moment Luke came over to the table and grabbed his order pad out of his pocket.
"What can I get you?" he asked, directing his question to Rory first.
"Burger, fries, coke please," Rory said, putting her menu down and looking at her mother.
"Same, that'll be fine, yeah thanks," Lorelai said coolly.
Luke scurried into the back. Lorelai watched as Rachael gracefully went around the floor, filling up mugs with coffee before she headed to their table.
"Hey guys, coffee?" Rachael asked politely, with a huge smile.
"Sure, coffee great," Lorelai said awkwardly.
"Okay, there you go," Rachael said, staring at Lorelai awkwardly, in a mean manner, as if to say 'get off my turf'. She turned around and walked back to the counter.
Luke came out of the kitchen and walked into the storeroom. Lorelai watched as the whole diner bustled around her. She wanted to say something to Luke, but as she made a move to leave the table, a group of fall festival-decorators came into the diner, for dinner. Luke made his way out of the storeroom, immediately sighing when he noticed Taylor and the others that were in his diner.
Lorelai and Rory ate with small conversation about platonic subjects such as school and work and homework and dean, nothing too in depth, nothing too light. Rory was clueless to what was going on in her mothers head.
"Come on Luke, let's just go," Lorelai heard Rachael say to Luke. The fall decorators had taken a seat in the corner after trying to convince Luke to go to the festival and participate in more town events. Lorelai held onto Rory's arm as she waited for Luke's response.
"Fine, but only because you want to take pictures," Luke told her gruffly.
"Yay! Thanks Luke," Rachael squealed in delight, giving a big hug to her boyfriend. Lorelai shook her head in awe. Rory giggled when Lorelai gestured to what just happened.
"I think we've finally found that one that had mind control and super powers," Rory laughed.
Lorelai shook her head and giggled to herself. At least now she was going to see Luke at the festival, maybe she could get him to win her a puppy.
What am I thinking? I have Max, I already invited him to the festival… he won't like Luke, Luke won't like him, what am I going to do?
Lorelai's head was fighting with itself as if Lorelai had two choices. Logically, she knew that there was nothing between her and Luke, and there couldn't be, but she's always had that feeling that Luke is a possibility for her. No matter where they are in their lives, she could always count on Luke to finally be her guy.
Not anymore.
Lorelai's head mocked her.
Rory and Lorelai finished up their burgers and headed back to their house. Once there, they dug up all of their fall decorations and stuck them around the house, getting them in the mood for the festival on Saturday night.

Friday morning Lorelai walked into the diner in need of one huge shot of coffee.
"Wow, you look like you need a little pick me up," Luke teased.
"Shut up! Why are you so happy this morning?" Lorelai asked, half closing her eyes to get a better look at him.
"No particular reason," Luke told her.
"Yeah whatever, I don't wanna know anyway," she said, figuring it was something to do with Rachael, that she didn't want to hear about right now, or ever.

Lorelai and Rory walked out of the Gilmore Mansion at 9.30 that night.
"See you girls next week," Emily called as they hopped into the jeep.
"Yeah bye Mom, by Dad," Lorelai said, waving a floppy hand at them.
Lorelai and Rory got in the jeep, followed by Lorelai's 'I'm-so-freaking-exhausted' over the top sigh.
"What? Mom, it wasn't that bad," Rory said, with a mock sigh.
"All dinners at the plague house are bad," Lorelai retorted, starting the car.
"Right,"
They drove home in silence, Lorelai breaking it to tell Rory how excited she was about the festival tomorrow night.
---
The festival was an hour away. Lorelai was contemplating on what to wear. She wanted to look good for Max, but she wanted to look good for Luke too. She was going mental. She was with Max, she shouldn't be thinking this much about another man. She's never noticed Luke this much before, what was wrong with her now?.
Lorelai questioned herself over and over again. She put it down to jealousy. She was jealous that Luke had a girlfriend, that someone had landed the whale. She was happy-ish with Max, it hadn't been going on very long, but they were going steady, so why was she so obsessed?
Lorelai decided on the black v-neck sweater and the smug dark blue denim jeans. Max arrived thirty seconds later, greeting her at the front door with a kiss and an embrace. Rory walked to the door and ushered them all through it.
"So Max, you excited?" Lorelai asked, clenching his hand.
"You bet I am, you talk about these festivals like they're the end of the world or something," Max told her.
"But, if we were talking about them like they were the end of the world, why would you want to come?" Rory asked.
"Because I wanted to see what all the fuss is about," he explained to them both.
"Yeah but if we described them like they were the end of the world, that'd be a bad thing, right?" Lorelai asked Rory.
"That's what I meant," Rory told her.
"I just meant that you compared them in a similar way in response to the amount of importance they had,"
"Oh," Rory and Lorelai said in unison.
Max laughed a little and guided them further into the town square.
Before Lorelai even stepped foot on the green grass of the town square, she was running for the fairy floss. Not long behind her was Rory, who was followed by a fast-walking Max who was trying desperately hard just to catch up with them. Lorelai and Rory ran past Luke and Rachael (Lorelai didn't realise). Max slowed down his pace and fell into sync with that of Luke and Rachael.
"Hey man," Max said, giving Luke a pat on the back.
"Max, is it?" Luke asked.
"Yeah," Max said, offering a handshake. Luke reciprocated it and then put his arm back around Rachael.
"Can't keep up with them?" Luke asked, gesturing to the two sugar and coffee crazed ladies at the fairy floss machine. Max just shook his head and laughed.
"They're toughies," Max said quietly before pacing over there.
"Not if you know them," Luke muttered to himself, not thinking Rachael could hear him, when she actually could.

An hour later Luke and Lorelai were wondering around alone. For some reason Taylor had allowed a book store stand at this years festival, drawing the likings of both Max and Rory. Lorelai bumped into Luke before stumbling. Luke laughed as he helped Lorelai up.
"Hey," she said, embarrassed.
"Hey back," he said kindly. "Very impressive tumble that was," Luke joked.
"Yeah, well," she said. "I'm just going to go to the school to go to the toilet, I'll be back soon," she told him.
"Wait, wait, I'll come with you, Rachael's taking photo's and I need to go anyway, so we'll walk," Luke told her.
"We'll walk," she confirmed.

Lorelai came out of the bathroom to find Luke waiting for her. She turned to her left, almost to bump into him before he caught her shoulders, trying to avoid another collision as before.
"Oh, hey," Lorelai said to Luke who was standing in front of a cabinet full of plaques and photos.
"You know, I haven't seen this school in years," Luke told her sincerely.
"What're you talking about? You see it daily, it's right across the street from your diner," Lorelai said, confused.
"Inside," Luke said, quickly cutting her off.
"Oh, right, well, let's go have a look around," Lorelai offered. Luke accepted as they headed down one of the dark corridors. Luke found some lockers and made his way from there. Down the hall a few lights were on, so they decided to go to it, just so they could see.
One of the classroom lights had been left on. Luke entered the classroom, soon followed by a sugar-crazed Lorelai.
"Wow, dim, I can see why it's not a private school," Lorelai joked.
"Yeah, it's going to crap," Luke confessed.
"Luke?" Lorelai asked calmly.
"Yeah?"
"I don't think Rachael likes me, she's always giving me these weird stares and looking at me like I'm the king of evil, has she said anything to you?" she asked.
"Yeah, well… sorta," Luke said quietly, looking through one of the school books.
"What? Really?" Lorelai asked.
"Yeah, I think she's a little jealous of you, she thinks you've got a thing for me, which is crazy 'cause you're with Max," Luke told her.
"Yeah, crazy," Lorelai said quietly.
"Lorelai?" Luke asked. Lorelai looked at her feet.
"I mean, it's not so crazy is it? We've known each other for years, we're good friends, why is it so crazy?" Lorelai asked, afraid of the answer.
"What do you mean? You're with Max!" Luke pointed out once again.
"I know!" Lorelai yelled.
Luke walked over to her, closing the distance in three steps. He tapped her chin up with his fingers and kissed her heavily on the lips. Lorelai opened her mouth and eagerly returned the kiss. She couldn't believe she was kissing Luke.
Luke thumbed the small of her back, tracing the line of her jeans. He lifted her up onto one of the desks and lent her back a little, never breaking the kiss. Lorelai had to part for oxygen and when she did, Luke stood back, panting.
Lorelai pulled him by his shirt and kissed him again. Spreading her legs slightly, Luke stood in between them. The heat of the kiss got wilder as Luke's hand began travelling up her body to her chest. He squeezed carefully at her right breast as she moaned under her breath and into his mouth.
"Oh god," Lorelai managed to stammer out. Luke pushed his erection against her inner thigh, causing her to moan louder.
Luke pulled away from her completely and walked over to the teachers desk. He sat in the chair and motioned for her to come over. Lorelai shut the door and moved over to him. She quickly undid her jeans and pulled them over her hips. She sat on Luke's lap and kissed him heatedly.
Luke pulled away and looked into her eyes, asking for permission as he placed his fingers at the side of her panties. Lorelai smiled and kissed him and he took it as a yes. He pulled her black panties aside and found her waiting warm and wet. He pushed his finger up and down her slit, feeling her juices, occasionally running the tip of his finger over her sensitive clit. Lorelai moaned loudly as he continued to do it.
Lorelai fumbled with the belt buckle that was on Luke's jeans. She wanted to be quick because of the fact that anybody could walk in on them right now, but she wanted to go slower so that she could savour the moment with Luke. Lorelai reached into Luke's jeans to find his hard cock waiting for her.
Luke lifted his hips up, allowing for his jeans to be slid halfway down his thighs. Lorelai continued to kiss him as he positioned himself below her. Luke nodded and grunted as Lorelai sunk down onto his hard cock. She moaned.
"Oh holy shit," Luke gasped as her warmth enveloped him whole.
"Ohhhh," Lorelai sighed.
Luke grabbed onto her hips and began thrusting up into her slightly. Lorelai grunted with every thrust, trying to be as quiet as possible.
"Oh Luke, fuck me, oh," Lorelai whispered, ducking her head to his ear.
"Ohhhh, Lorelai," Luke mumbled into her hair. Lorelai bounced up and down on his cock until he told her he was going to come. Lorelai cried out as she clenched her walls and felt him explode inside of her.
The warmth was enough to make her orgasm.
"Jesus, Lorelai," Luke said, running a hand through her hair.
"Yeah, oh god, we've gotta go," Lorelai said, getting off of Luke and pulling on her jeans. "Max, Rory and Rachael are going to be wondering where we are,"
"Right, yeah," Luke said, pulling his jacket back on. They walked out of the classroom to find Max, Rory and Rachael waiting just outside.
"Hey, where were you guys?" Rory asked her Mom.
"Luke was showing me around where he used to go to school," Lorelai lied.
"Cool," Rory smiled. Max wrapped an arm around her shoulder and led her back to the festival.
Lorelai looked over her shoulder and saw that Luke had done the same thing with Rachael.
I had sex with Luke.
What the hell?
One shot? or multi-chapter?
If I get no response, it's a one shot.
:) HOPE YOU LIKED.
