Lorelai was furious at Luke and she didn't even know why. Just something was raging inside of her and she couldn't control it. Her conscience said it was jealousy from all those built up feeling for Luke that she had for him that she hadn't let out or told anyone, not even Rory, and her common sense concurred. But her brain and sense of reality screamed that she was mad that Luke had held it from her that his ex-girlfriend was coming to visit, leading her right back to jealousy. Of course this made her even angrier because she was too prideful to ever admit that she was jealous of one of Luke's old flames, that she hadn't even met! Maybe it was just a territorial thing, this woman left, walked out and left Luke technically he was fair game, she could move in on Luke and it wouldn't be breaking the women's secret code of conduct and no one could legally call her a dirty skank whore. But she wasn't brave enough to make that move or take that risk of rejection from Luke, so she had one option. Sookie's comfort food.

"Sookie!" Lorelai bellowed as she entered the kitchen of the Independence Inn, pulling out a bar stool that was seated next to the island in the middle of the kitchen.

"Mosavio, where the hell is the parsley!? You cannot withhold the parsley from me! This is a delicate balance! You can't disrupt the balance with some parsley substitute. I need parsley!" Sookie ordered like a drill sergeant as she also entered the kitchen making her way over to where Lorelai was, tasting and dashing substances as she passed.

Lorelai pouted and rested her chin in her palms as Sookie approached making it clear that she was upset but was too prideful to saying anything urging Sookie to make the first move, which Sookie silently accepted.

"What is it honey?" Sookie asked as she mixed a sauce in front of Lorelai, and a new kitchen aide, Lorelai assume to be Mosavio, handed Sookie parsley and dashed it into the sauce.

"I'm having a Lorelai moment." Lorelai explained to Sookie and Sookie understood that Lorelai was having a moment that she really didn't understand what she was feeling and couldn't explain it, just that she needed comfort food.

"Comfort food coming right up! But first…" Sookie trailed off as she shoved the spoon that she had been stirring the sauce with into Lorelai's mouth.

Lorelai made a scrunched face and added, "That wasn't parsley," After she had swallowed.

"What?" Sookie took a taste of the sauce herself, "Damn it Mosavio! How many times do I have to tell you!? Parsley is the green one! This, is garlic!" Showing Mosavio the spice he had handed her.

"Oh! That makes so much sense." He approached and examined the bottle of garlic, "Sorry Sookie. It won't happen again." Mosavio said and walked away. Sookie rolled her eyes and turned back to Lorelai.

"Yeah that's what he said last time…anyways…Oh! Lorelai moment, gotcha. Okay so do you want the 'Mexican Comfort Food' or the 'Asian Comfort Food' or the 'Sweet Comfort Food'?"

"Sweet Comfort Food." Lorelai responded. Sookie knew this meant it was a guy problem but she didn't say anything since Lorelai looked like she wasn't ready to talk about it just then. Instead she just said, "Okey dokey!" And got right to work on Lorelai's comfort food.

Lorelai couldn't stop thinking about it though! As much as she tried she couldn't! I just…I just don't understand how I could've been so wrong. I mean, I dump Max 'cause I think I have feelings for the only father figure in my kid's life and then I find out he's probably not even interested in me. Or at least he definitely won't be once miss 'thang' comes back around. He'll forget all about me. I wonder what Sookie knows about her… Lorelai was thinking to herself and then began to observe Sookie cooking.

"Hello? Babe? Reality check, 1, 2, 3?" Sookie snapped in front of Lorelai's face.

"Oh huh? Sorry. I was just…thinking…" Lorelai looked down at the bowl of chocolate chip ice cream and brownies that sat in front of her. "Sook?"

"Yeah?" Sookie said in a sympathetic tone, feeling an explanation for the comfort food coming up.

"You know how Luke….uh…works at the diner?" Lorelai asked dumbly not being able to think of any other way to start off the conversation.

"Uh yeaaaah…" Sookie answered dragging it out, raising one eyebrow at Lorelai. She was wondering where this was going.

"Well…has he…who's Rachel?" Lorelai asked the question she already knew but was hoping for a different answer.

"Um, well that's Luke's ex-girlfriend." Sookie explained suddenly becoming very intrigued in the color of nail polish that she had decided on that week.

"Oh…" There was an awkward silence, "What kind of ex-girlfriend?" Lorelai asked after a long pause.

"What do you mean?" Sookie asked giving Lorelei a questioning look that Lorelai knew oh so well.

"I mean, was she like a serious type of girlfriend that the town saw them being together forever or the type the town so as only a spring fling or something." Lorelai asked, knowing that Sookie was catching on.

"I would say the first choice. Why?" Sookie said as a smile crept across her face and Sookie voice changed tones.

"Just…curious." Lorelai said, obviously knowing she wasn't even about to get away with it.

"Really? More like…jealous. Is this the reason for the 'Sweet Comfort Food'?" Sookie said prying and raising one eyebrow.

"No no…not jealousy…just…" Lorelai said as her voice got louder and dramatic as she said "peaking frustration…" and her voice softened a bit as she admitted, "then we'll be at jealousy." putting her face in her hands in a sign of defeat.

"Oh honey! Finally you admit it!" Sookie said wrapping her arms around Lorelai.

"Yeah Sook but Luke will never return the feelings, especially with Rachel coming into town! Ugh! I can't believe this!" Lorelai threw her hands above her head and stood up and began pacing back and forth. "You know, I had him first! I saw him first! This is just like Jenny Crimers…" Lorelai said shaking her head in disbelief.

"Who's Jenny Crimers?" Sookie asked confused.

"Second grade, Jenny Crimers was a new girl at my prep school, and I had my eye on this adorable pound puppy one day in the Hartford mall toy store but I didn't have enough money to buy it since my parents always made me buy 'useless junk' like that with my own allowance, which was practically nothing, I swear why would you want to teach a second grader the importance of money, I have no idea since they're gonna just go blow anyways but seriously, a pound puppy is not useless junk anyways! It was practically royalty! Anyways, the next day I come back with more cash and it's gone! Then the next day at school she had the pound puppy because I hadn't made my move fast enough!" Lorelai ranted without even taking a breath except maybe once or twice. She breathed deeply like she had just swam 2 miles.

Sookie stared at her wide eyed silently. Obviously she was very passionate about this. She couldn't believe how much Lorelai had been holding in, it was now obvious after Lorelai's rant. Lorelai slowly realized what she had just said and how she had spent 5 minutes ranting about Jenny Crimers in the second grade. She was so embarrassed which rarely happened.

"Lorelai…" Sookie started but didn't have time to finish since Lorelai had already walked out of the kitchen without even taking a bite of the comfort food that Sookie had prepared for her. She quickly made her wait out to the jeep and headed to Luke's. She had to do something, anything.

XoXoXoX

Luke was wiping down a table that some annoying customers had just left with no tip. Probably lawyers… Luke thought and grunted when he looked around and noticed the diner now empty. He glance up at the clock, 4:30. Rachel will be here in 1 week…after 3 years… Luke thought to himself but shook the other thoughts that followed and made his way behind the counter to pour out the old coffeenot even expecting another customer for another 30 minutes since it was his usual afternoon lull but was surprised when he heard the bell above the door and began the process of making another pot of coffee.

When Luke turned around he saw a very determined Lorelai, for what reason, unknown. "Lorelai?" Luke asked as he saw her face. Then the thought about the painting struck him, "Oh hey, I've been meaning to ask you, think you could come by the diner tonight to help me pick out the paint for the diner? I'm having some trouble deciding." Luke suggested as he adjusted his blue cap.

"Uh…oh sure." Lorelai said still deep in thought about what she was going to say to him. Now all the momentum she had built up to tell him before Rachel got here, it was all gone. Instead all she could do was, once again, gaze into his blue eyes from afar praying she wouldn't be caught and have the light flirtatious banter as usual. I'll tell him later, not now. She excused herself.

Yeah these chapters aren't as long as I had hoped but oh well. Well here's chapter 2 that I've been meaning to put up for quite awhile now! Hope you liked it. If you didn't, again you don't have to tell me! Everyone is welcome to their own opinion but at least consider the person on the other end! Thanks. Constructive critism however is welcomed. But no bashing! Thanks!

Lots uh Love!
