Chapter 2
"Coffee, coffee, coffee!" Lorelai said as she came rushing into the diner with Rory following behind her. They sat down at the counter.
"Stuff will kill you." He growled as he poured them both a cup of coffee.
"Such service!" Lorelai grinned. She leant across and gave him a quick kiss.
"So Rory, second year at Yale, are you excited?" Luke smiled at her.
"Yeh it should be fun. I'm sharing a place with Paris." Rory smiled.
"Is that the girl who came in here asking about truckers and prostitution?" Luke said.
Rory smirked. "That's her!"
"So when are you heading back?" Luke asked.
"Today actually! Just wanted a last Luke's fix." She said. "Why, are you trying to get rid of me so you can have mom to yourself?" She smirked, teasing him.
"No, I was just planning on taking her out tonight but I wanted to check it wasn't your last night together or something." He said.
"Aw Luke!" Rory grinned.
"You're taking me out tonight?" Lorelai asked.
"Anything you want on the house today." Luke said to Rory.
"Wow I feel special." Rory smiled.
"Helloooooo! I repeat, you're taking me out tonight?" Lorelai said.
"Yeh, 7 ok?" Luke asked.
"7's fine." Lorelai smiled. "So where ya taking me?" She grinned.
"You'll see."
"Ooooh intrigue!"
"Mom is not good with surprises!" Rory joked.
"Hey! I am too!" Lorelai pouted.
"Yeh only when you find out what the surprises are by constantly annoying the person who has organised the surprise!" Rory smirked.
"When are you going to Yale?" Lorelai joked.
"Ouch!" Rory smirked.
"Are you two going to order or do I need to listen to this all day?" Luke said.
"Pancakes and bacon, egg and sausages please!" Rory grinned.
"Oooh pancakes sounds good! Thanks!" Lorelai said.
"God you two are a lot of work." Luke growled disappearing into the kitchen.
"He likes us!" Lorelai grinned at her daughter.
"Well who else would entertain him?" Rory played along.
Later that day, Rory headed back to Yale and found her new dorm.
"Rory!" A voice called.
Rory turned round and smiled. "Marty, hey!" She said and went to hug him. "How was your summer?"
"Yeh good thanks, yours?" He asked.
"Not bad!" Rory smiled. "My mom's new inn has officially opened."
"That's great! How does it look?" Marty said.
"Amazing! We had a test run and everything went perfectly. Hey, you should come see it sometime. You can meet Sookie and Luke, who by the way is now dating my mom." Rory said.
"The diner guy?" He asked.
"Yep!"
"Cool! I'd love to come see it. Stars Hollow does sound...um..."
"Crazy?" Rory smirked.
"I was going to say lively but sure, crazy!"
Rory laughed. "Are you living here too?"
"Yeh first floor." Marty said.
"Cool! Easy for film marathons!" Rory grinned.
She said goodbye to Marty and went to unpack her stuff.
Later on in the day at about 6, back in Stars Hollow, Lorelai was getting ready for her first official date with Luke and she was panicking. She picked up the phone and called Rory.
"Help!" She said as Rory answered.
"The Beatles song?" Rory joked.
"No time for your jokes! I have no clothes!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"You have plenty of clothes."
"No I don't. Not good enough for tonight!"
"Ah the date..." Rory understood now.
"Yes and I don't have anything to wear so Luke will hate me and change his mind about everything!"
"Mom calm down! Wear the blue dress with your black throw thing round your shoulders." Rory said.
"Blue dress with black throw thing." Lorelai said quietly to herself. "How did you do that?" She said.
"I'm just amazing." Rory said.
"Yeh ok, well I better go! Knowing Luke, he will actually be on time!" She said.
"Ok, have fun!"
"Thanks hon!"
"Bye!"
"Bye!"
At 7, Luke did arrive on time as Lorelai predicted. He proceeded to drive her to this restaurant where he led her to a table.
"Aren't we meant to wait to be seated?" Lorelai said.
"It's fine." Luke replied.
"Lucas!" An older woman said coming over and hugging Luke. "And you must be Lorelai. We've heard a lot about you." She smiled at Lorelai and shook her hand.
"You have huh?" Lorelai smirked looking at Luke.
"Yes this one won't stop talking about you." Maisy smiled. "I'm glad to be able to finally meet you."
An older man then came over. "Luke, good to see you! And you must be Lorelai." He smiled warmly at them.
They left after a few minutes and Lorelai turned to Luke. "They know you!"
"Yeh I come here a few times a week." He admitted.
"Wow Luke has a Luke's!" She grinned.
"Yeh and I've known Maisy and Buddy for years. They were good friends with my parents." He said.
"That's nice." Lorelai smiled. "This is nice." She said.
"Yeh it is." Luke smiled back.
"I was thinking, when did we first meet? It must have been in Luke's right?" She said.
"It was in Luke's, it was at lunch and this person..." He started.
"Oooh is it me?" Lorelai grinned.
"This person comes running into the place in a caffeine frenzy."
"Ooh it's me!"
"She keeps pestering me for coffee and I tell her she's been annoying and she should wait her turn." He continued.
"I'm sure she took that well as she sounds just delightful." Lorelai joked.
"Then she asks me for my birthday about a hundred times so I give in an tell her my birthday. She then rips out a horoscope from the paper and writes something on it before giving it to me. It read you will meet an annoying woman today, give her coffee and she will go away."
"But she didn't go away." Lorelai smiled.
"She told me to keep that horoscope in my wallet and one day it will bring me luck." He said getting out a piece of paper from his wallet and giving it to her."
Lorelai was stunned. "You kept this? I can't believe you kept this."
"8 years." He said.
"8 years." She repeated.
"Lorelai, this thing we're doing you me, I just want to tell you I'm in, I am all in." Luke smiled.
Lorelai smiled back. "Good to know. I'm in too."
After the meal, Luke walked Lorelai home, gave her another kiss and then went back to his apartment. She immediately went in and rang Rory.
"Hey daughter of mine!" Lorelai said happily.
"He get sick of you already?" Rory joked.
"Ha ha!" She replied.
Rory smirked. "How was the outfit?"
"It was perfect." She smiled.
"And the date?"
"Amazing." Lorelai said sincerley.
She then went on to tell Rory every little detail of their date including the horoscope.
"Aw mom, that's so sweet!" Rory said. "And you said Luke never had a thing for you!" She joked.
"Yeh yeh! I guess I was in denial." Lorelai said wistfully. "This just feels right, you know."
"I know." Rory smiled.
"So how was your first day back?" She asked.
Rory then went on to tell her mom all about her day, including many Paris anecdotes which made them both laugh.
Hope you enjoyed it! Remember, I love reviews! Please let me know what you think! :D
