Note: This chapter is a continuation of Chapter 1. I am writing this while waiting for my next class to start, so I didn't get to write as much as much as the first chapter, but I hope you guys like it. The girls go to Luke's for lunch and Lorelai and Luke discuss the problem that's throwing their relationship off a little.
After breakfast. Lorelai and Rory wandered aimlessly around town, as they often do. The two actually did get some stuff accomplished, however. After stopping in at Doose's for some groceries, and Mrs. Kim's to pick up a flower pot for the Dragonfly, it was lunch time.
"Hey mom, it's almost time for lunch," mentioned Rory.
"Oh yeah? What time is it?" inquired Lorelai.
"Um…it's about one," said Rory, "we'd better head over to Luke's."
"Ugh…I guess you're not gonna let me 'forget' about going to Luke's are you," Lorelai said with hesitance.
"No way! Mom, just face it, sooner or later you're gonna have to talk to him about whatever it is that is bothering you, and I can't think of a better time than the present," said Rory.
"I can think of an infinite number of times, and all of them are not now," said Lorelai, feeling her heart racing a mile a minute.
"Let's go," said Rory, grabbing her mom by the arm.
The girls strolled over to Luke's. It was busier than normal that day, but their usual table was still available, Luke kept it open especially for them. Lorelai and Rory took their coats off and sat down.
"Garçon!" said Lorelai in a terrible French accent.
Rory laughed.
"Bonjour, madame and Rory," Luke said in an equally bad accent.
"Uh…I'll have…" Lorelai started to say.
"Say no more, I saw you coming so I ordered for you. Here are your sodas," said Luke, handing Rory a Dr. Pepper and Lorelai a Coke.
He walked back behind the counter.
"Ooooo look Rory we're that cool that we don't even have to order anymore," said Lorelai in her childish tone.
"Well, when you have 'relations' with the owner, you're bound to get some sort of special treatment," Rory said while sipping her drink.
They both giggled.
"Psst…Lor," said Luke gesturing for her to come to the back.
"I'll be right back," Lorelai said to Rory.
"Okay, and don't forget, you-know," reminded Rory.
Lorelai nodded and walked off.
Luke and Lorelai went up to his former apartment.
Luke closed the door behind them and turned to her, "Hey, are we okay?"
"Uh…yeah I guess so. Why?" said Lorelai, crossing her arms.
"I feel like such an idiot for acting like I did this morning. I blew the situation way out of proportion," said Luke very sincerely.
"Yeah, I guess you did a little, but it's understandable because I know you don't like him very much," Lorelai said trying to comfort Luke, "I mean he has brought so much drama to our relationship, so I definitely understand why you acted the way you did this morning. But he is Rory's father, so, like I've said in the past, he's gonna be in our lives no matter what happens between you and me," she concluded.
"Yeah, but I could have handled the situation way differently. Ugh…I feel like such an idiot!" said Luke, angry at himself.
"No, no stop saying that," said Lorelai.
They stared at each other for a few moments adoringly, then Luke thought of something.
"Hey…," said Luke hesitantly.
"Yeah?" answered Lorelai.
"Why didn't you come by this morning for breakfast like you always do?" he asked.
"Well, I don't know. I thought you were still venting from this morning, and I wanted to give you some space in case you needed it," she told him.
"Oh okay. I was, but I realized how stupid I acted, so I got over it pretty quickly," he said.
"Well, that's good," she said happily.
"Yeah," he said.
They turned for the door, when Luke stopped short.
"Hey Lor," he said.
"Huh?"
"You know I love you, right?" he asked.
She looked at him, "Yeah, I know, and I love you too."
"Good," he said with a big smile on his face.
They hugged and he gave her a kiss, and walked back down stairs to the diner.
She walked back to the table with a smile on her face.
"What's that for?" Rory asked.
"Huh?" said Lorelai not listening.
"Why are you smiling?" she asked again.
"Oh,…I'll tell you later," she told Rory.
"Okay then. So, is everything okay with you guys now?" Rory asked hopeful.
"Yeah, everything's great!" said Lorelai excited.
"That's good because you know I love Luke and I would never want anything to happen to you guys' relationship again," Rory said sincerely.
"Yeah, I know. Everything's good," Lorelai said again, as she smiled at Luke behind the counter.
The two continued eating their breakfast in a renewed mood.
Note: Yeah I know this chapter didn't explain the conflict too well, but stay tuned for the next chapter where I will flash back to that morning and show out how the conflict played out.
