Magic Always Happens When it Snows Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
A/N: Sorry it's taken so long. Again. This chapter fast forwards to about April. It's Luke and Lorelai's first real date since getting back together again.
Luke's car pulled up in front of the Gilmore house and he shut off the engine. His feet hit the grass as he walked towards the front door, trying to shake out all the nerves coursing through is body. He didn't know why he was nervous. They had done this before. Very successfully.
Maybe it was because this time was different. Maybe it was because if things didn't work out for them this time, there wasn't going to be another chance. This was it. It was now or never.
Luke walked up the short staircase to the door and rung the bell. He took a step back and turned to face the yard. His eyes travelled up to the stars. It was a cool, clear night which was unusual for this time of year. It had been a pretty warm day, the sun shining on Stars Hollow, spreading warmth for the first time in months, melting the last bit of snow, the only reminder of the long, cold winter months.
Luke turned back around as the door behind him opened, Lorelai stepping out onto the porch, wearing a pair of black dresspants and a low cut flowered shirt, in her arms she carried a light jacket. Lorelai smiled as Luke stared back at her. She looked so beautiful.
"Hi" Luke was finally able to say.
"Hi" Lorelai replied.
Luke held out his hand for Lorelai and led the way towards his car, opening the passenger side door for Lorelai before walking around and climbing into the drivers seat.
"So where are we going?" Lorelai asked as they pulled out of Lorelai's driveway and set off down the road.
"You'll see" Luke smiled.
They drove for about 10 minutes before pulling into the parking lot outside a small restaurant. Luke got out of the car before opening the door for Lorelai and leading her towards the restaurant that was familiar to both of them. They walked in the double doors and took a seat at a table marked with a reserved sign.
Lorelai smiled at Luke. Luke, who had been staring at the menu, felt Lorelai's eyes on him and looked up. "What?"
"You're recreating our first date" She continued to smile.
"A little bit" He nodded, setting down the menu.
"Do they still have the story about the dog on the back of the menu?" Lorelai asked curiously.
"Look and see" Luke pointed at the menu in front of his date. She picked it up and turned it over. Her eyes lit up as she saw the same text still printed on the back of the restaurant menus.
The two made small talk until a waiter came and to take their order.
"Hi Luke. It's been a while" the waiter said.
"It has" He said, standing up to give the woman a hug. The two released eachother and Luke turned to Lorelai.
"Lorelai, you remember Maisy" Luke re-introduced the two.
"Of course. Hi Maisy" Lorelai smiled.
"Hi Lorelai" she answered.
"So what would you two like?" Maisy asked.
The two ordered before continuing the conversation they had been having.
The two left the restaurant a couple hours later having enjoyed a nice dinner. The couple walked to Luke's car, holding hands, letting the warm April air wash over them.
"It's gorgeous out tonight" Lorelai said, looking up at the clear night sky filled with stars.
"Yeah it is" Luke agreed.
Luke opened the car door for Lorelai and they drove back to Lorelai's house. Luke stopped the car in Lorelai's driveway, opening the door and walking her to the door. The two stopped and faced eachother.
"I had a great time" Lorelai told Luke after a few minutes of silence.
Luke smiled, "Yeah I did too"
There was silence before Luke closed the space between them and kissed Lorelai on the lips. The two seperated and said goodnight to the other, before Lorelai re-entered her house.
A/N: Please comment on this chapter. I'm hoping the next ones will be better. 1234 if you have to.
