Chapter 2- Oh Snap!
The rest of the day went by in blur for both Luke and Lorelai. Despite their pounding heads and gaps in memories from the night before, they both successfully made it through the day. Lorelai kept herself busy at the Independence Inn including some turndown service since a maid had call in sick. The time alone gave her plenty of time to reflect about last night's events. Luke spent his day cooking, cleaning, taking orders for customers, and whatever else needing to be done in a diner. His day went by smoothly except for a phone call he gotten from Stars Hollow High letting him know that Jess had not shown up to any classes all day. He figured he was skipping and left it to be dealt with later. He had more important things on his mind.
Luke finished closing the diner and went upstairs to get some sleep. He opened the door to his apartment and headed towards the kitchen when a long manila envelope on the table came to his attention. He went over and picked it up, opened it, and pulled out the thin white paper inside. He saw two very familiar, but slightly off, signatures scribbled at the bottom of the paper. What shocked him was what was written on the top:
State of Connecticut
Marriage License
"Shit!" He cursed.
"What the hell?" Jess yelled back, who was sitting in his corner of the apartment on the phone.
"Ugh, nothing. Sorry," he apologized, lamely.
"Scream as loud as you want, it's not like I'm making a very important call," Jess said in his sarcastic tone.
"Shut up." 'I need to talk to Lorelai,' Luke thought. "Hey, are you talking to Rory?" He suddenly asked.
"Yeah why?" Jess asked.
"Umm, could you tell her to put Lorelai on the phone?" Luke asked him.
Jess covered the phone receiver with the palm of his hand and replied, "No."
"Jess, please. It is important," Luke pleaded.
"Fine, flirt with your dream girl using my very limited free time," he put the phone to his ear and said, "Hey, Rory, is your mom there?"
"Yeah, why?" Rory asked him.
"Luke needs to speak to her," he explained
"Oh ok, Mom!" Jess heard her say through the receiver.
"What's up doc?" he heard Lorelai ask Rory.
"Luke wants to talk to you," Rory explained.
"Oh," her voice dropped to a serious tone.
"Oh? Did something happen between the two of you?" Rory asked.
"Ugh, no why would you say that?"
"Because your voice just dropped from 'crazy teenager' to 'dead serious'. Are you guys fighting again?" Rory pointed out then asked.
"No, it's nothing, just give me the phone," Lorelai shrugged off.
"Ok then, if you have to talk, you know where my office is." Rory headed to the direction of her room to give her mother some privacy.
"Luke?" Jess heard Lorelai come on the line and then he tossed the phone to Luke. "Uh, hello?" Lorelai spoke again.
Luke caught the phone and then fumbled to hold the phone the right way before saying, "Umm, hey."
"Hi." There was a silence on both ends of the phone.
"If you wanted me to get off the phone with my girlfriend just for you to say 'hey', then I want the phone back," Lorelai could hear Jess say to Luke on the other line.
"Pipe down. Sorry, um. Hi. I just wanted to tell you that I kind of found something that has to do with last night."
"What is it?" Lorelai asked, her voice starting to sound a little irritated.
Luke took a deep breath. "It's a license."
"A license?" She parroted.
"Yup."
"What kind of license?" Lorelai asked, confused and on the verge of losing her patience.
"Ah…" Luke stalled.
"Luke, seriously, I need some more information before I pull the Miss Congeniality act out."
"It'samarriagelicense," he quickly said.
"What?"
"It's a marriage license. We somehow got legally married yesterday," he explained to the best of his ability.
Jess' ears perked up and walked over to were Luke was standing near the kitchen table. His eyes widen when he saw the license in question over Luke's shoulder. "Oh, crap!" He said quietly to himself when he noticed how official the document looked.
"Ha ha jokes over Luke. You think you are sooo clever!" Lorelai didn't believe him.
"I'm not joking. I wouldn't joke about something like this," Luke sincerely told her.
"You sure? Because I feel like I'm on Punk'd. Oh, that Ashton Kutcher thinks I'm so stupid, but I'm actually not just a pretty face, you know."
"For Pete's sake, can you be serious for once? I am not kidding! We. Are. Married! I am staring at the proof!"
"Yeah, right. How could you get me to do something like that? I'm Miss 'Can't-Make-a-Commitment' and you are Mr. 'Bachelor-for-life'," she countered, refusing to believe it.
"Well, you did and so did I," Luke told her again.
Lorelai was in denial, "we cannot be married."
"WE ARE MARRIED," he stressed the words further.
"I need to see this to believe it," she told him.
"Fine."
"Good, come over," she asked.
"What? No, you come over," he countered.
"What are we 12?"
"Just come over here. I'll give you coffee," Luke knew exactly what to say to allure her over.
"Sold! I'll be there soon."
"Bye," Luke clicked off the phone.
"So, you and Lorelai Gilmore are married. I guess that makes me and Rory cousins," Jess said with a smirk on his face.
Luke decided to ignore him and told him, "shut up and go to bed."
"Is it past my bedtime? Can I wait for Auntie Lorelai tuck me in?" Jess acted like a 5-year-old kid.
"Zip it!" Luke ordered.
"Oh, come on, a man gets married and all of a sudden can't take a joke?" Jess said as he walked over to his bed and picked up a book to read.
