Chapter 3

Lorelai got home. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god..." She muttered to herself going into the living room.

"Mom?" Rory said looking up from the sofa.

"Oh. Rory. I didn't know you'd still be up." Lorelai said.

"Is everything ok?" Rory asked.

"Yeh everything is um fine..." Lorelai stammered.

"Grandpa's ok right?" She asked suddenly concerned.

"Oh yeh hon, he's recovering well, don't worry." She smiled at her daughter.

"So what's up then?" Rory asked.

Lorelai sighed. She didn't know what her reaction would be. "I may have just kissed Luke..."

"What?" Rory said shocked.

"I don't know why. I've never thought about him like that before but I was in the diner, I gave him the hat and I just kissed him. I don't know what came over me. I was just standing with him and we were looking at each..." She babbled.

"Ok mom, slow down." Rory said confused. "So you were in the diner? You got him a hat?"

"Yeh I bought him a blue baseball cap as a thanks for driving me to the hospital." She said.

Rory nodded. "And then...it just happened?" She asked, not really knowing what to think about it.

"Yeh. I was so embarrassed I just ran out and came straight back here." Lorelai said.

"Mom! You didn't even wait for him to react?"

"Well no. I mean he will probably think I'm crazy now." Lorelai sighed putting her head in her hands.

"Mom." Rory said softer. "Do you like him in that way?"

"I..I don't know. Possibly." She admitted.

"And do you think he likes you back? What am I saying? Of course he likes you. The whole town knows that!" Rory said.

"What?" Lorelai said looking up at her.

"Come on mom. Luke would do anything for you." Rory smiled.

"He's just a good friend. That doesn't mean he likes me." Lorelai said.

"Mom, you need to figure out what you want." Rory said softly.

"What about you?" Lorelai asked looking at my daughter.

"Well he's not really my type!" Rory joked.

Lorelai chuckled. "I mean, how would you feel about me dating Luke? Because if you wouldn't want it, I wouldn't do it." She said genuinely.

Rory sighed. "Well I guess it would be a bit weird at first but I mean, he's been in our lives ever since we've moved here really. We see him everyday anyway." She said.

"So you would be ok?" She asked cautiously.

"Mom, I see how you are with Luke. You're happy with him. The banter between you two is so natural. I'm happy if you're happy." She said sincerely.

Lorelai smiled. "I love you kid."

"Love you too mom." Rory smiled.

The next morning, Rory found her mom in the kitchen. "Hey! Are we going to Luke's for breakfast?" She asked.

"I don't know. I haven't heard anything from him." Lorelai said.

"Mom, there hasn't really been any time. I'm going so you can decide if you want to or not." Rory said.

"Fine, I'm coming."

"Good!" Rory smiled.

They walked to the diner and went in. They sat at a table by the window. Lorelai caught Luke's eye behind the counter and looked away immediately. She felt herself blushing. Luke came over to their table. "Hey what can I get you?"

"Blueberry pancakes please!" Rory said. "Mom?" She prompted.

"Oh, um, just an omelette with bacon please." She said glancing up at Luke.

"Coming right up." Luke said walking away.

Rory looked at her mom. "Are you ok?"

"Yeh I just, I don't know..." She sighed. "Luke and I have been friends for years. I don't want to ruin the friendship we have."

"Mom, if you like him and he likes you, you should at least try or else you could miss out on the best relationship you've had." Rory said.

Lorelai looked at her daughter. "When did you become so wise?" She joked.

"Since I joined Chilton!" Rory joked back.

Luke came over with their food and coffee.

"Luke, could I maybe talk to you for a minute?" Lorelai asked cautiously.

"Sure." Luke said. "We can go upstairs."

Rory watched her mom and Luke go upstairs and smiled. It was a bit weird them maybe being more than just good friends but Luke's been in their lives for years. And she liked Luke a lot.

Luke led her into his apartment. Lorelai suddenly felt a bit nervous.

"What's up?" Luke asked, trying to not act nervous but he was.

"Yesterday..." Lorelai started, feeling herself blush. "What I did..."

"It's ok. If you just want to forget it happened..." Luke said.

Lorelai was taken aback. "Do you want to forget it happened?" She asked, suddenly doubting herself. Maybe Luke didn't want this at all.

"Well honestly, not really. It was...nice..." Luke said blushing himself.

Lorelai smiled. "Yeh it was." She said shyly.

Luke smiled back. "So..."

"I...I just don't want to ruin our friendship. I mean you've always been there for me and Rory. I'd say that you're my closest friends bar Sookie and Rory." Lorelai said sincerely.

Luke nodded understanding. "Yeh I know. Isn't it worth a try though?" He asked tentatively. In all honesty, he had waited a long time for this.

Lorelai smiled. "That's what Rory said..." She said.

"She knows?" Luke asked surprised.

"I sort of went home in a state and Rory was still up and she could tell what was wrong. She started worrying that something was wrong with my dad so I told her the truth." Lorelai said.

Luke nodded. "And?"

"She wants me to be happy she said. And she likes you a lot." She smiled.

Luke smiled, relieved that Rory was ok with it. "She's a great kid."

"Yeh she is." Lorelai said proudly.

"So we're giving it a go?" Lorelai asked.

"We're giving it a go." Luke smiled.

This time it was Luke's turn to lean forwards and he gently kissed her on the lips. They pulled away and smiled.

"I could get used to this!" Lorelai joked.

"Yeh? Me too." Luke chuckled.

"I better get back down. Rory will be wondering." Lorelai said.

They went back down to the diner and Luke went back to work and Lorelai went back to the table where Rory was.

"I take it from that smile that things are good?" Rory joked.

"Yeh. We both want the same thing." Lorelai said smiling, glancing over at Luke.

Rory smiled. "I'm happy for you mom. Honestly. You deserve this and Luke's a great guy."

"Thanks hon." Lorelai smiled.

Luke soon came over. "Refills?" He asked.

"Do you have to ask?" Lorelai grinned.

"I guess not!" Luke growled and refilled their cups.

"Thanks Luke!" Rory smiled up at him. Luke smiled back and walked away.

That evening, Rory and Lorelai were sat watching movies.

"So when are you going on your first date?" Rory asked.

"Oh I don't know. We haven't discussed it." Lorelai said.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. "Who's there?" Lorelai called.

"Me!" Luke called back.

"Me who?" Lorelai teased him.

"Rory can you let me in please?" Luke called.

Rory smirked and got up. "Depends!" She called.

"I've brought food! I know that you don't have anything edible in your house!"

"Oh well in that case!" Rory laughed and opened the front door. "Hey Luke!" She smiled.

"God you two are hard work!" He said, coming in.

"Oooooh food!" Lorelai grinned getting up herself and going over.

"I'll take it to the kitchen." Rory said, leaving them alone.

"Hi." Lorelai smiled at him.

"Hi." Luke smiled back and gave her kiss.

"Do you want to join us? We're having a movie marathon." Lorelai said.

"Oh no, I don't want to intrude. I just wanted to ask if you were free tomorrow at 7." He said.

Lorelai smiled. "Yeh I am."

"Good. I'll pick you up then." Luke smiled and gave her another kiss.

"Get a room guys!" Rory joked appearing.

Luke went red and Lorelai just laughed. "Hush you!"

Rory smirked and went to the living room.

"So I'll see you tomorrow." Luke smiled.

"Yeh, see you then." Lorelai smiled back.

"Bye Rory!" Luke called through to the living room.

"Bye Luke! Thanks for the food!" She called back.

Luke then left and Lorelai went back in grinning so widely.

Rory smirked at her. "You so like him!" She teased.

"Yeh I think I might do." She grinned.

They snuggled down and had a lovely mother daughter evening, Lorelai excited about what the future might hold.

Hope you enjoyed it! :) Please let me know what you think! :) Thanks! :)
