Lorelai drummed her nails on the desk at the Inn. She was bored-- more than usual. Michel was off annoying someone and Sookie was off cooking her head off for a huge dinner for later that night, and all Lorelai was doing was drumming her nails. She thought about how she was going to see her newsest boyfriend, Alex. Everyone in Stars Hollow thought that Lorelai had finally found "the one", that she was looking for. Lorelai on the other hand was not so sure, she loved Alex a lot but she still had her doubts. Suddenly, the phone rang.
"Independance Inn, Lorelai speaking."
"Hey, it's me."
"Alex! Hey, what's up?
"Well, I just--"
"You just? C'mon Alex spill it."
"I don't know, I was just bored so I wanted to know if you wanted to go to Luke's for coffee."
"Coffee! You said the magic word! How can I resist?"
"Okay then so meet you there in a half an hour?"
"Yeah I'll be waiting by the counter."
Lorelai smiled to herself, she was going to see Alex, and have a wonderful cup of the most heavenly stuff on earth, life was good for her.
Meanwhile, at Luke's: Luke was busy with a mess of customers piling in. Jess even was helping since Luke offered double pay if he would help. The worse part was, he was planning to go on a date, with Nicole his new girlfriend, but he has his doubts too, of making it. Then Luke heard the door open, he was hoping it was Lorelai, so she can help him, to his suprise, it was Nicole.
"Luke" Nicole said coming in.
"Hey, so what brings you to this mess that I call a diner?"
"Nothing, just passing by and thought I would stop by."
"Well, I was just thinking about you."
"Really? Same here"
Luke laughed, but at the same time was scared. Even though he was going out with Nicole for sometime now, and thought that she was going to be much more serious than Rachel.
"Well Luke, um are we still on for tonight?"
"Yeah, of course we are."
"Great well, Taylor's expecting me..so I better get going.
Just as Nicole, was about to leave, she gave Luke a big kiss. Luke, not knowing that this was to happen, he broke off, and Nicole left. The door opened again, and this time it was Lorelai.
"Hey there Mr. Danes, that was a nice kiss she gave you over there."
"How long were you there?"
"Um, let's see I wanted to go in and say something really loud to disturb that "magical" moment..so getting to my point.. I'd say like 2 minutes."
"Oh.. well okay..coffee I suppose?" Luke asked
"Yeah make that two please."
"Hey remember you only order another when your done with the first."
"Uh, that's for Alex.. not me"
"Oh.. meeting him here?"
"Yeah.. in like a half hour."
"Oh, that's nice."
Lorelai knew that Luke was somehow jealous, and he was but he was also very afriaid that his jealousy would ruin a very good friendship. But he already had a girlfriend, and he didn't want his emotions to get the best of him.
"Um.. Alex might be here any minute so you might wanna -- " Luke began
"Nah -- I'll stay here for a while -- until he comes that is."
"Oh, okay. Listen I'm thinking of preposing."
"Aww to Nicole? That's so sweet."
"But -- I'm not sure -- you know she'll accept." Luke did not know why he was saying this -- it was too soon, even for him-- but Lorelai was his best friend, and he could trust her.
"She'll say yes, she gonna be lucky to have you for a husband."
"Really?" Luke's eyes wided.
"Yeah -- well not in that kind of way." Lorelai said quickly.
In that instant, Alex came in and kissed Lorelai on the cheek (in front of Luke).
"Hey sweetie" Lorelai said
"Hey -- ah I see you already ordered."
"Yes very observant of you!"
"Yes well they teach me a lot these days."
Lorelai laughed, she loved having Alex around, he was always so happy and joking around, and she loved that in a guy.
"Well wanna sit over there?" Alex said pointing to a table in a corner.
"Sure" Lorelai said, "Bye Luke."
But Luke didn't say "bye" back , he just turned around and headed to the kitchen. Lorelai knew that Luke was mad, somehow she knew it was because of her. She never wanted to hurt Luke in anyway, but she did.. even though she didn't want to.
"So-- what did you want to talk about?" Lorelai wondered.
"Oh yeah, I can't make it tonight."
"Oh." Lorelai said in a sad tone. She'd been stood up before, but at lease it was sweet of Alex to tell her first hand.
Meanwhile, in the diner kichen, Luke was thinking about Lorelai and Nicole. He loved both of them -- but Nicole was different -- she seemed to be more like the type of girl that Luke was looking for. But Lorelai had been there since forever, and he was always there for Lorelai, but he needed to do what he thought was best -- even though it might mean losing a friend.
Lorelai and Alex sat in the table in silence. Alex was so nice and sweet -- and she never expected him to break off a date like that. But she knew that it was really important for him to break it off, so she didn't show any signs of anger, at lease not to Alex.
"Lorelai, I'm so sorry I have to do this." Alex began, "So I called you and told you to meet me here so we can -- you know have a little date here."
"Oh okay, well it's okay I mean it was really no big deal." Lorelai said.
"I'm so glad you think so." Alex leaned over and kissed Lorelai.
"I'm so glad you kiss that way." Lorelai added with a laugh, and returned the kiss.
Luke went out of the kitchen saw Lorelai and Alex kissing and went back in the kitchen. He wasn't mad, at lease he didn't seem that way in his facial apperance. Do they have to act that way? Luke thought. But he knew that he was that way with Nicole, somehow -- it seems different when he sees Lorelai and someone else kissing -- he knew he was falling in love with her but we didn't want anyone to know about it --especially Nicole.
"I better leave." Alex said quickly and kissed Lorelai agian.
Lorelai sat looking at Alex as he left. My life is good, she said to herself. Luke went out of the kitchen again -- saw that Alex finally left and went over to Lorelai's table.
"Alex leave?" Luke asked
"Yeah, sadly" Lorelai said gazing out the window.
"Oh, so -- "
"He broke off our date tonight." Lorelai said
"Oh, then I'm sorry."
"No, it's okay. He made it up by coming here."
"Then I guess it's okay right?"
"Yeah -- it is."
Luke looked at Lorelai and smiled. Lorelai, noticing this smiled back. They smiled at each other and Lorelai told Luke that she had to go and left.
A/N: Too short?...sorry..i love this fic so far..well i have HUGE plans for this one!..
