Chapter 2 - I Spy...
Here's the next chapter. I hope you all like it. Also thanks for all your reviews! They are amazing!
A/N - I forgot to mention what time this story took place. It's during the beginning of season 2 after Lorelai doesn't marry Max. Sorry for the confusion. :)
"We're stuck." Luke said after a few moments of silence.
"Michel is going to kill me." Lorelai mumbled to herself. "You're absolutely sure?"
"The screws in the hinges are in too tight or their too old to budge, and that's our only way or getting out."
"Without destroying my door?"
Luke nodded.
"Dammit."
Luke walked across the bathroom to the shower.
"What are you doing?" Lorelai asked.
"Fixing the shower. This is what you originally called me to fix."
"Oh, right."
There was a long silence except for the clanging of tools until Lorelai spoke.
"Luke I'm bored." she said
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"Luuuuuuuke!" she wined. "Let's play a game!"
"A game?"
"Yeah."
"What game?"
"Well, uh...how about I Spy?"
"What?"
"You don't know what I Spy is?"
"Nope."
Lorelai sighed. "You amaze me."
Luke smiled. "You amaze me too." he wanted to say.
"One person 'spies' an object in the room and the other people have to guess what the object is."
Luke still looked confused.
"Ok, so like, I would say...I spy with my little eye something...red."
"I spy with my little eye?" Luke said, almost disgusted. "I'm not saying that."
"Luke come on! You have too."
"No I don't."
"Luke come on. Please." she put on her famous Lorelai pout.
Luke sighed heavily. He hated that she could make him agree to anything. "Ok."
"Yay! I'll go first. I spy with my little eye...something...pink."
Luke looked around the room. "The bath mat?"
"Nope."
"But it's pink."
"It's not what I spied."
"Lorelai.."
"Luke.." she imitated.
"Fine. Uhh...there is nothing else pink in here."
"Yes there is."
Luke looked around the room again. He scanned for anything kind of pink.
"Ha!" he said. "The toothbrush!"
Lorelai clapped. "Yes. Good job."
Luke turned around and went back to fix the shower.
"What are you doing?" Lorelai asked.
"Are we seriously going through this again?"
"It's your turn."
"Lorelai..."
"Fine." Lorelai said disappointed.
She turned away from him and pouted. Luke put his tools down and sighed.
"I spy with my little eye.." he started.
Lorelai turned around and her eyes lit up. He almost laughed at how excited she got that he was still playing.
"Something white." he finished.
"White? Come one Luke. That is too easy. There are a million things in here that are white."
"Then it will take you longer to guess."
"The tub?"
"Nope."
"The toilet?"
"Nope."
"The sink?"
"Nope."
"The floor tiles?"
"Nope."
"Luuuuuuke!"
"I told you it would be hard."
"Oh oh! I got it!" she said. "The toothpaste!"
"Yep."
"Yes!" she cheered for herself.
Luke laughed softly. He loved how easy it was to make her happy. Just playing this stupid game seemed to make all of her problems fade away.
"And what, may I ask, is so funny?"
"You." he said plainly.
"Me? You think I'm funny?" she said mock dramatically.
"Yes I do."
"Well you're funny lookin'"
"Ouch." he said sarcastically. "That was harsh."
"Shut up." she hit him playfully.
As soon as she realized how close they were she quickly walked over to the toilet and sat down.
Luke resumed working on the shower again and then he tested it and water came out normally.
"Yay!" Lorelai cheered. "Thanks Luke."
"No problem."
He gathered up all his tools and put them back in his toolbox.
"Luke.." Lorelai said softly.
"Yeah?"
"I have to pee."
"Ah geeze." he said. "Right now?"
"I've had to pee since I got up this morning."
"So..."
"Stand in the shower." she interrupted.
Luke shrugged and stood in the shower and pulled the curtain across.
"And plug your ears." she continued.
Luke did what he was told.
"Are they plugged?" she asked.
"Yes."
"Not if you can hear me."
"Geeze Lorelai..."
"Plug your ears and hum."
"Hum?"
"Yes. If you hum it will insure that you won't hear."
"What's the big deal?"
"I don't want you to listen to me pee!"
"Fine. I'll plug my ears and hum." he agreed.
"Ok start now."
Luke plugged his ears and began humming a song that Lorelai did not recognize at all. But she just shrugged sat down on the toilet.
"Ok done!" she shouted.
Luke still didn't hear her so she walked over and opened the shower curtain.
"Feel better?" he asked.
"Much. Thanks."
"Anytime."
"What were you humming?"
"What?"
"What song were you humming?"
"I made it up."
"Seriously?"
"Yep."
"Impressive."
"Thanks."
There was another silence, only this one was oddly more comfortable. They had gotten past the weirdness and awkwardness. Lorelai was actually enjoying this. She never knew being stuck in a bathroom could be so nice. She looked over at Luke. He was sitting on the edge of the tub, staring at his shoes. She knew he probably was so pissed right now. She smiled. She loved it when he was upset. He was so cute. Whoa. She thought. Did I..
"Do you know what time Rory will get home?" Luke said taking Lorelai out of her thoughts.
"Uhh... probably 3 or 3:30."
"Well that's only 4 hours from now."
"God what are we going to do?"
"Wait I guess."
"Just wait?"
"Yep."
"I hate waiting."
"I know."
Happy Forth Of July Everyone:)
