Chapter 4
"Rory!" Lorelai called from her room. "Help!"
Rory went up to her mom's room. "What's up?" She asked entering it.
"I don't know what to wear!" She moaned.
"Well do you know where you're going?" Rory asked.
"No, Luke won't tell me!" Lorelai pouted.
"Wear your blue dress and your black shoes. And you can take that white cardigan if you need it." Rory said.
"I knew I had you for something." Lorelai joked.
"Yep I'm forever your fashion expert." Rory joked.
The doorbell suddenly rang.
"He's early! He said 7!" Lorelai panicked.
"Mom, it is 7." Rory said.
"Well he should have been late!" Lorelai said.
Rory laughed. "You get ready, I'll go let him in."
She went downstairs and opened the door. "Hey Luke!" She smiled at Luke, who was standing holding a bunch of flowers.
"Hey Rory!" He smiled back.
"Mom's still getting ready but come in." Rory said. "You should know that she's never ready on time." Rory joked.
Luke chuckled and went in. They sat down in the living room and there was a bit of an awkward silence.
"Soooo...where are you taking her?" Rory asked breaking the silence.
"Just this restaurant I know." Luke said.
Rory nodded, falling silent again.
"You are...ok with this right?" Luke asked nervously. "I mean your mom said you were but I don't want to make you uncomfortable."
Rory smiled at his concern. "Yeh I'm good. We see you practically everyday anyway." She said. "Just make sure you get her back by 11!" She joked.
Luke chuckled, relieved that Rory was ok.
"Ok I'm ready!" Lorelai exclaimed coming down.
"About time!" Rory teased.
"Hush you!" She said and then looked at Luke. "Wow you look...nice." She smiled at his appearance.
"You look beautiful." Luke said sincerely. "Oh these are for you." He said handing the flowers over.
"Aw Luke they're beautiful. Thank you." Lorelai smiled.
"Shall we?" Luke said gesturing to the door.
"We shall." Lorelai smiled giving him a quick kiss. "Bye hon!"
"Bye mom! Have fun! Just don't tell me all the details!" Rory joked.
Luke went red. "Bye Rory!"
"Bye!" Rory smirked.
Luke drove Lorelai to a restaurant called Sniffy's and he took her to a table.
"Are we allowed to seat ourselves?" Lorelai asked.
"I know the people in charge. It's fine." Luke smiled.
"Lucas! How good to see you!" Maisy came up to the table and gave him a hug. "And you must be Lorelai. I've heard a lot about you." She smiled.
"How do you do?" Lorelai smiled at her.
Buddy then came up. "Luke, it's good to see you!" He said shaking his hand.
"You too Buddy. Buddy, this is Lorelai." Luke smiled.
"Pleasure to meet you miss." Buddy smiled.
"You too." Lorelai smiled.
They went off and Lorelai smiled at Luke. "They know you!"
"Yeh they were friends of parents. Buddy helped me with the diner." Luke said.
"Aw that's nice." She smiled.
"Plus I sort of come here a few times a week." Luke admitted.
"Oh my god! Luke has a Luke's!" She teased.
Luke smirked. "Yeh I do."
"Hey I was wondering, when was the first time we met? I mean it must have been in Luke's right?" Lorelai said.
"It was in Luke's. It was the lunch time rush and this woman..." He started.
"Oooh is it me? Is it me?" Lorelai grinned.
"This woman comes in in a coffee frenzy." He continued.
"Ooh it's me!" She grinned.
"And she's badgering me for some coffee. She just won't leave me alone so I say to her, 'Hey you're being annoying. Shut up and sit down and I will get to you when I get to you. Then she starts asking me when my birthday is. After 5 minutes, I eventually tell her and she gives me a horoscope. I read it and its says 'You will meet an annoying woman today. Give her coffee and she will go away." So I gave her coffee." Luke said.
"But she didn't go away." Lorelai smiled.
"She told me to keep it in my wallet and one day it will bring me luck." Luke said getting out his wallet. He took out a piece of paper.
"Wow. I can't believe you kept this." Lorelai said stunned.
"Yeh well..." He said. "Lorelai?"
"Yeh?"
"I just want you to say what we're doing here. I'm in. I'm all in." He said. "Does that um scare you?"
Lorelai smiled at him.
Luke drove her home after their meal and they stopped outside her front door.
"I had a lovely time." Lorelai smiled at him.
"Yeh me too." Luke smiled back.
They then kissed.
"So I'll see you tomorrow morning?" Luke asked.
"You try and stop me." Lorelai smiled.
They kissed again and then Luke left. Lorelai watched him leave smiling. She then let herself in.
"Sooooo how was it?" Rory asked on the sofa.
Lorelai smiled and sat down next to her daughter. "Amazing." She said.
Rory smiled. "You look happy."
"He kept my horoscope all these years." Lorelai said.
"What?"
Lorelai explained the whole story to Rory.
"Aw that's so sweet!" Rory smiled.
"Yeh." Lorelai smiled. "I can't believe we didn't do this any sooner."
"Yeh neither can the whole town!" Rory teased. "When are you going to make it public anyway?"
"I don't know. We haven't really talked about that. I'm sure people will find out when they do." She said.
Rory nodded. She stood up and gave her mom a kiss on the cheek. "I'm glad you're happy." She smiled and then went off to bed.
Lorelai smiled and then picked up the phone. "Sookie?"
"Hey Lorelai! Everything ok?"
"Yeh I just wanted to tell you something. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier but I wanted to make sure it was going to work."
""What?" Sookie asked intrigued.
"Me and Luke went on our first date tonight."
"Oh my god!" Sookie squealed through the door.
Lorelai laughed and continued to tell her everything that happened that night including the first time they kissed.
Hope you enjoyed it! Will add more soon! :)
