I'm really new at this, and I put chapter 1 up again, sooo sorry guys! Haha, anyway I fixed it so now I think that I know how to put up new chapters. Okay, well here's chapter 3. Enjoy!!!

It was 10:45 at night, and Lorelai was still in bed trying to fall asleep. Instead of sugarplums dancing in her head, she thought of Luke off with that Nicole. Lorelai looked at the Hello Kitty clock on her night stand and remembered the dream she had a year ago about her and Luke. Maybe I can still have that…or maybe not if things work out with Nicole and Luke. Just thinking about that made her even more depressed. So she decided to get up and take a walk in the wintry weather.

Outside, the snow was falling and Lorelai was approaching the gazebo and Luke's. Everything looked the same except one thing; Luke's truck wasn't parked in front of the Diner like it always is every day. Then after Lorelai took a seat on the bench in front of the gazebo, Luke's truck came and parked with just him and no Nicole. 'Thank God' Lorelai thought

Luke peered out into the snowy scenery of the town and saw someone sitting on the bench waving at him. He wasn't sure who it was since it was pitch black out except for the little Christmas lights tied around the gazebo. 'Who the hell in their right minds would be sitting outside in the freezing weather at,' Luke checked his watch, 'almost 11 o'clock at night?' As Luke was nearing closer to the girl he saw who it was. 'Of course, who else would be out here at this time?' Luke thought.

"Hey!" Lorelai greeted him cheerfully.

"What are you doing out here?" Luke asked without a greeting.

"My, what a lovely greeting!" Lorelai said.

"Sorry," Luke started over, "Hey, Lorelai, what are you doing out here?"

"I couldn't sleep…What about you?"

"What about me?" Luke questioned as he sat next to Lorelai on the bench.

"What are you doing out here? Don't tell me you dropped Nicole off his late. You guys must've had fun then."

"Nah, I dropped her off a couple hours ago. I just had to clear my head," He told her pulling his ear.

"Oh."

There was a pause between them which felt like 100 years long.

Finally Luke stood up and asked, "You wanna come inside and get some coffee to warm up?"

"Luke Danes, are you offering me coffee at…" Lorelai checked the town square's clock, "…11:20 at night?"

"Yup, this is a once in a lifetime chance so you can take it or leave it."

"I'll take it!" Lorelai got up, "You know, that was just like being on Deal or No Deal."

Luke laughed, "Exactly…okay, let's go,"

Lorelai smiled, she absolutely loved that laugh. Too bad she couldn't hear it more often, "Kay."

And they turned and walked to the Diner together where nobody will interrupt them for about 6-7 hours.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Luke walked behind the counter and started to make the coffee. Lorelai sat at the stool closest to the cash register. She sat silently twirling her brown curl around her index finger.

"So, Luke," Lorelai started.

"So, Lorelai," Luke replied in a mocking tone.

Lorelai giggled, "How was your date with Nicole?" She asked out of the blue.

Luke didn't answer, only shrugged his shoulders and said, "It wasn't anything special." Finally, the coffee was ready so he poured it into a big mug and set it in front of Lorelai.

"Oh…so you don't know if you're gonna go back out with her?" Lorelai asked with anticipation.

Luke was taken aback with Lorelai's anticipation of the question, "Lorelai, can I ask you a question?"

Lorelai smiled, "Anything…"

"How come you acted so weird after Nicole came in today,"

"….except that," Lorelai didn't want to answer that question now or ever.

"Why won't you answer the question?" Luke was anxious to find out where the conversation was headed.

"Can we please just change the subject? Please, Luke," She looked into his eyes and couldn't look away. Have they always been that blue? She's never seen such beautiful eyes before in her entire life except for Rory's but his were different. Luke's eyes had a spark.

Still staring into her eyes Luke said softly, "Please, Lorelai, just answer the question," his eyes were pleading for an answer.

Lorelai finally broke the eye contact and stared at her coffee cup, "I just…I don't know. I didn't- I don't want you to go out with her," She said still staring at her coffee cup not being able to look at him.

"Care to elaborate?" Luke asked jokingly, but dying to find out her reply.

Lorelai didn't know what to say. She shook her head, "No, I just gotta- I have to go home. It's getting late and I have to be at the inn early tomorrow," she said digging into her pockets for money to pay for the coffee she didn't finish, but Luke just waved it off. Lorelai smiled at him and turned to walk to the door.

"I'll see you later," Lorelai said facing the door and then she opened it and left.

Luke was behind the counter still replaying everything over in his mind, "Okay," he said to himself then walked up to his apartment to sleep for the remaining 5 hours.

Review please!!!

Tonight I'll probably think about how I'm gonna get L and L together. Right now I am thinking about the town having a festival or something big like that before Christmas…anyone have ideas?! I'd love to know them.
