A/N- Okay sorry about the double chapter some things got messed up with my email and I sent the wrong files and all this stuff with my Beta (thanks Moe by the way). So here's the real chapter 4 and this was supposed to come before Big Heavy Bowling Ball Part 1. Sorry it's not perfectly checked I just went ahead and did it myself. Yeah, that's why we need Beta Testers.

Lorelai walked up the front desk to see Max arguing with Michael.

"Deal with him" Michael said and stormed off.

"Hey" Lorelai said turning to Max

"Hey, I think I left my watch here" Max said

"Oh, what does it look like?" Lorelai asked opening up a drawer behind the counter

"Oh, well its black and silver" Max said as Lorelai turned around holding up at watch "This" she asked

"Yeah, well while I'm here I was wondering if well, there's this new restaurant I've been meaning to try out for a while. I've only heard good things about it but I don't want to go alone. So, maybe if you were free in the near future…" Max said

"If I was free in the near future???" Lorelai said with an amused look on her face

"You'd like to go with me" Max said remembering why he moved all the way out to Connecticut to try and win her back.

"As in a date Mr. Medina?" Lorelai asked

"Okay you can drop the teacher jokes but preferably as in a date but it could be just diner too" Max asked still wondering about the recent break up thing

"Truthfully I'd love to go but just as diner" Lorelai said awkwardly

"Okay, I'll pick you up at seven" Max said walking away

"What should I wear? Is it fancy or casual?" Lorelai asked as Max turned around and replied "Whatever Jeans would work" then walked out the door.

Lorelai then walked into the kitchen "I'm going to diner with Max tonight" Lorelai said and cringed as she poured her coffee.

"What" Sookie shouted "I thought you weren't going to date Max"

"I'm not really dating him we agreed that it is just diner" Lorelai replied in defense

"Oh come on, you can't just have diner with Max he's an ex that's like saying I promise I'm not going to diner with the intention of sleeping with but I probably will anyways" Sookie said dropping in volume

Lorelai took a sip of her coffee biting the edge of the cup with a sheepish grin on her face.

"You can't date Max! It's okay to have a rebound guy but Max? Really he's Rory's Teacher" Sookie said

"He is not Rory's teacher anymore!" Lorelai replied

"He's your ex-fiancé" Sookie said "You don't ask your ex-fiancé out to diner unless you're looking for something serious"

Lorelai through on Jeans and a cute V-neck sweater just as Max rang the doorbell. Running down the stairs she grabbed her purse, keys, and emergency Pringles incase there was a long wait and answered the door.

"Whoa are you actually ready to go?" Max asked

"Yeah I set up a system and put all my stuff on the stairs before hand so even though I would start getting ready at 6:59 I'd be able to go" Lorelai replied content with her on time-ness

"Crap" Max said

"What" Lorelai replied with a confused look on her face?

"Well, the restaurant is 15 minutes away and I made reservations for 7:45 figuring it would take you a half an hour to actually get out the door once I came. So now we have a half hour to kill." Max said

"I myself have always been partial to drinks" Lorelai said with a giddy smile on her face

"Great the restaurant doesn't have a bar" Max said in complete failure "How about we just stop by that Diner Luke's right? We can grab some coffee"

"I actually am not in the mood for coffee" Lorelai said

"You not in the mood for coffee? I didn't think it was possible" Max said

"Well the fact that Luke was my recent significant other might have something to do with it" Lorelai said knowing it would come out eventually

"Oh" Max said "Well, we can just spend the next" he looked at his watch "27 minutes arguing about what to do for the next half hour"

"Pringles?" Lorelai asked pulling them out of her purse
