Chapter 3: A new beginning
"You did what?" Rory yelled. She stared at her mother with amused eyes. She was just sitting at the couch with a wired look in her eyes. "I thought you were with Max…" Rory sat down beside her and just looked at her, with her "Rory-face" that Lorelai couldn't lie to. "I was… until yesterday…" Lorelai mumbled as an answer. After a long time silence, Rory got up. "I have to get to school.." she said. "I was going to take you, Rory!" Rory just smiled at her mother and then left the house. Lorelai was standing in the door, when the phone rang. It's took Lorelai a while to react, so the answering machine started: "Hi it's me Sookie… I was just wondering when you'll come to work!" Lorelai sighed. She had to go.
I'm so scared that the way
that I feel,
Is written all over my face,
When you walk into
the room I wanna find a hiding place,
We used to laugh, we used to
hug,
The way that old friends do,
But now a smile and a touch
of your hand,
Just make me come unglued,
It's such a
contradiction, do I lie or tell the truth,
Is it fact or fiction
the way I feel for you.
When she got to the inn, she saw Michel standing at the front disk. "Hi Michel" he didn't answer, and he looked very tired. "I'm suffering from ennui" he mumbled and Lorelai had to laugh. Michel and his ennui!" At the same time Sookie entered the lobby. "You came!" she yelled, with a big grin on her lips. "Of course I did. What's up with you?" she asked, when Sookie gave her a big hug. "He did it, didn't he?" Lorelai gave her a confused look, and suddenly Sookie started to jump up and down like a little child. "Sookie? Why are so acting like a child, huh?" Lorelai asked, but Sookie didn't answer. At last she heard Michel sigh and mumbling: "Actually some of us are suffering from ennui, and that means: I'm depressed and happy people makes me even more depressed, so please be happy somewhere else…" Sookie just laughed and gave Lorelai another hug. "So, did he do it?" Sookie almost yelled. "Who did what?" Lorelai asked even more confused. Again Michel sighed, but they just ignored him. "Did Max propose, jerk?" Sookie smirked. Lorelai's smile fainted and she turned her face away from Sookie. Slowly she started to walk away towards her office, followed by Sookie. "Yes, I'm afraid Mr. Medina did so." she replied, trying to sound normal. Sookie smiled and took Lorelai's hands, but soon let go. "There's no ring! Why is there no ring, Lorelai? He hadn't bought any yet, or? Don't tell me you turned him down, did you say no?" Lorelai hid her face in her hands, and then nodded. "No way! I thought you liked him, really, really liked him?" Again Lorelai nodded. She turned on the computer and stated to push some buttons, having no idea what she was doing. "Lorelai, what happened?" Sookie asked slowly, walking behind the desk. "Luke…" she whispered, not able to keep a smile of her face. "Luke? What did he do?"
There was quiet for a while and then Lorelai tried to explain: "Rachel left 'cause she thought he has feelings for me, and then he came to my house and told me the truth and left. Then Max came and asked me to marry him, but I said no and ran to the diner, where I... I KISSED LUKE AND HE…" her voice raised, but then became lower. "said he loved me and I said the same and then… Max saw us, and then we broke up" Sookie's mouth was wide open and she stared at her best friend. After knowing her for so many years, she had learned to understand Lorelai's babbling messages, so she was more than stunned learning this. "WOW!" she just said.
It's so complicated, I'm so
frustrated,
I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away,
I
wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay,
Should I say it, should
I tell you how I feel,
Oh, I want you to know,
But then again I
don't,
It's so complicated.
Sookie pushed Lorelai in front of her towards Luke's diner. When they entered, Luke looked up and they got eye contact for a few seconds. "Go talk to him" Sookie said, but then suddenly Lorelai was pulled aside by Miss Patty and Babette. They both had those big grins across their face. Lorelai just smiled back and was about to head to the counter 'cause she needed coffee very badly right now. "You kissed Luke!" Miss Patty said, luckily not loud. "Huh? What Patty?" Babette and Patty just laughed. "I saw you!" Miss Patty admitted, and Lorelai sighed. Now the whole town would know, if the didn't know it already. "Have… have you told anybody?" she asked and Patty shook her head. "Could you then please wait? Just don't tell anybody." And then she left them. On her few-steps walk to the counter she felt like everybody was starring at her. "Luke coffee…. Quick quick!" he smiled by himself by the sound of her voice. He gave her a cup filled with extra strong coffee.
"Thanks… Where do you wanna go?"
"What?"
"We could go to New York or San Francisco… or maybe Philadelphia?"
Luke gave her a questioning look?
"What? What are you talking about?"
"They know… Miss Patty and Babette know!"
"Know what?"
"They know what happened between us, Luke. So we need to get out of this town, out of this state…"
Luke just stood there, starring at her with his mouth wide open. How did they know?
"Now I know it! Alabama!" she gave him a big grin, and when he smiled back, her heart pounding faster.
"Why Alabama?"
At
"Sweet home Alabama, Forrest Gump! Don't tell me you haven't seen them, especially Forrest Gump! Tom Hanks is doing such an amazing job in that movie. I love Tom Hanks and he's also doing a great job in You've got mail. M… Who do you think is acting with him?" she was teasing him now, 'cause she knew he had no idea.
"Uhm… Pamela Anderson?"
Lorelai started laughed so loudly, and made Luke take her coffee. "Hey, that's mine!" she yelled, still laughing. Her laughter were so loud, so the whole diner stared at her, but she didn't care. "Give me my coffee!" but Luke just shook his head. At the same time the door opened and Rory entered. She walked straight over to the counter and sat on the chair beside her mother. Though they had argued this morning, she had to be there for her, and she needed to know what had happened. Rory herself was struggling with a heart ache of her own, and she really needed her mother. "Hi mum! Hey Luke!" Lorelai was still laughing and Luke waved shortly at her. "This man thinks Pamela Anderson is in You've got mail!" Now it was Rory's turn to laugh. "She doesn't look much like Meg Ryan!" Luke shook his head annoyed and handed Rory a cup of coffee. "I was kidding, okay?" but the two Gilmore girls didn't stop laughing, they couldn't at last Luke gave up and wandered of to some new costumers. In one of the corners Miss Patty and Babette were sitting and whispering like two teenage girls. "Mum, why are Babette and Patty starring at you?" Lorelai turned around and saw Patty's curious eyes resting at her. Meanwhile Luke placed Lorelai's cup in front of her again. She took a sip of it, but immediately spit it out again. "It's cold! Luke, why is my coffee cold?" The doorbell rang and new costumers. I have to do something, to make him see me! At then she grabbed her coffee and threw it at Luke's flannel shirt.
Just when I think I'm under
control,
I think I finally got a grip,
Another friend tells me
that,
My name is always on your lips,
They say I'm more than
just a friend,
They say I must be blind,
Well I admit that I've
seen you watch me,
From the corner of your eye,
Oh it's so
confusing I wish you'd just confess,
But think of what I'd be
losing,
If your answer wasn't yes.
Lorelai opened the door and entered followed by Rory. She turned on the answering-machine. There were three messages on it.
1. "Hi Lorelai! It's your mother… I just have a few things to say. Your dad and I have been invited to a very important meeting tonight, and this meeting includes dinner, so I'm afraid we have to cancel the dinner tonight. I hope you girls have something to do. Bye!"
Lorelai and Rory couldn't help it but laugh. Now they could use a Friday night on movies and pizzas.
2. "Me again. I just talked to your dad and we decided that we need to have a dinner anyway, so we'll expect you tomorrow at 7…"
3. "We've moved the dinner to5 o'clock, 'cause we're having some very important guests… And Lorelai… Please wear something nice, not something that… Just something pretty. And by the way, I'm not going to tell you who the guests is."
Lorelai deleted the last two messages quickly. "So what are we going to do tonight?"
"We could go to the town meeting!" Rory suggested.
It's
so complicated, I'm so frustrated,
I wanna hold you close, I wanna
push you away,
I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay,
Should
I say it, should I tell you how I feel,
Oh, I want you to
know,
But then again I don't,
It's so complicated.
On the way to the town meeting they past Luke's diner, and Lorelai saw him standing in there. His was wearing another flannel shirt than earlier and he looked a little grumpy. "Hey Hon… I'll just go see if I can get the man in there to come, okay. And when we get home we're going to watch movies all night." Rory smiled at her mother and continued her way to Miss Patty's dance studio.
The bells above the door rang, but Luke didn't look up. "Closed" he just muttered. In his hand he had a cloth or something that looked at little more like a piece of flannel. Lorelai gazed at it for a minute before she realized it was the shirt she had thrown the coffee at. "Hey!" she smiled at him when he looked up. "Hey…" he mumbled and continued cleaning the table. Why was he being to cold to her? He couldn't be angry about the shirt or what? "I'll wash that shirt, Luke…"
"No need to I've already tried."
"Oh, come on. You have like a thousands of those flannel shirts. It can't be the biggest lost…"
"But it was a good shirt! And it was a gift from…" Don't yell at her! She's right, it's just a shirt. Don't screw everything up now! He remembered how he ad yelled at her when she was wearing Rachel's cloths. He'd hurt her big time, and he wouldn't let that happen again. How many times he had discussed things with himself was a mystery. He had tried to ask her out once with a "Maybe we could…" and then he had never finished the sentence. And not that long ago where they were hiding from the whole time. There had been a moment between them. He remembered how he had argued with himself. Kiss her! Don't do it idiot! The good and the bad part of him, his feelings against his mind, though she was all that were on his mind.
"From who Luke? Rachel?"
He sighed and then nodded. Lorelai shook her head. It felt like someone had just stamped a knife in her heart. Maybe he didn't mean to hurt her, but somehow he always managed to do it. Rachel had really meant something to him, and she was aware of that fact, but she thought he had feelings for her now. Was he really hurt be her leaving and did he just make the whole "I have feelings for you" up? She sighed and turned to leave, when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Once again he stopped her from leaving. They looked into each others eyes and when their lips met, both of their hearts almost melted.
I
hate it 'cause I've waited so long for someone like you,
Should I
say it,
Should I tell you how I feel,
Oh I want you to
know,
But then again I don't,
It's so complicated.
So that's all from now. I hope you liked it…
Please tell me what you think…
Bye,
Asta
