Chapter ten: the most magical time of the year

It was December 23rd and the little town of Stars Hollow was a buzz in preparation for the upcoming holiday, Christmas! The Hollow was all decked out for this magical time of the year.

Lorelai was admiring all of the decorations as she made her way through town towards Luke's.

The little bells above the diner door signaled her entrance. As Luke looked up she greeted him with a warm and caring smile, which he returned. God I love that smile of hers. Lorelai walked over and took a seat at the counter.

"Hey."

'Hey, so what do you want?"

"Um . . . how about a cherry danish and some coffee."

Luke shook his head as he got her, her danish. "Why do you insist on poisoning yourself?"

"Because its fun!" She answered cheerfully. "Now march Burger Boy I want my coffee."

Luke mumbled something about rotting her insides, as he turned to get Lorelai's coffee. While she started in on her danish.

"Well, I'm going to get going."

"Okay, bye Lorelai."

"Bye." She turned to leave, then turned back around. "Hey Luke, do you think you could come over a little earlier then everyone else on Monday to help put up decorations for the party?"

"Yeah, sure. What time do you want me to come?"

"Um everyone else is coming around 3:00 so how about 12:30?"

"I'll be there." Luke said, and Lorelai smiled.

They had learned to keep their smiles and looks at each other on the down low and away from the prying eyes of Stars Hollow, but every once in awhile they couldn't help themselves and it took all their strength not to lean over and kiss the other. All they could do was hope that the local gossips didn't pick up on this.

"Good, thanks Luke." She called as she hurried out the door and walked in the direction of the inn.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

Later the day at the inn Lorelai was busy daydreaming about why no other then her Luke. Hum my Luke; I like the sound of that. I hope he likes what I got him for Christmas. Ugh, two days is too long to wait for gift giving! I wonder what he got me? Just then the phone began to ring and brought Lorelai back to reality.

"Independence Inn, Lorelai speaking."

"Hey." Came Luke's gruff voice on the phone.

Lorelai's face lit up and broke out into a huge smile. "Hey, miss me already?"

"Maybe."

"Ah ha, so you admit it!"

"I said maybe, maybe is not admitting anything."

"It's close enough. So why did you call?"

"Well I wanted to know if you would like to come over tomorrow for a Christmas Eve dinner."

"Really?" Lorelai said with excitement in her voice.

Luke chuckled. "Yeah, I thought since we couldn't be alone on Christmas why not on Christmas Eve?"

"That sounds great! What time?"

"Um, let me go ask Caesar what time he can close up, then I'll call you right back."

"Okay. Bye."

"Bye."

Lorelai hung up the phone. Then almost as soon as she had put it down it started to ring again.

She quickly picked up the phone. That must be Luke. "See I told you you missed me, better change that maybe to a yes." She teased. "Now what time should I come over?"

"Lorelai!"

Lorelai cringed the second she heard the voice on the other end. "Hi mom."

"What was that about?"

"Nothing I just thought you were someone else." Ugh stupid, stupid, stupid!

"Honestly Lorelai, you should never answer a phone like that. Especially at your work!
What must all of the people who call there think?"

Lorelai cut Emily off before she could say any more. "So um mom why did you call?"

"Oh yes, we wanted to know if you and Rory could join us on Christmas."

"Well actually we are kind of already doing something here."

"Oh, I see." Lorelai could here the disappointment in her voice.

"But I'm sure Rory would love it if you could come." What did you just do? Half the town including Luke will be at that party!

"I would have to check it over with your father, what time does it start?"

"Um 3:30." Why did I say 3:30? Why not like 5? Now I only get half an hour without them around.

"Okay well we'll see you there."

"Yeah, bye mom." She quickly hung up the phone and put her head down on her desk.

The phone started to ring for a third time. Which caused Lorelai's head to shoot up. That better be Luke!

"Independence Inn, Lorelai speaking."

"Hey, so how bout you come over around 7:00?"

"Perfect, oh and just a heads up my parents are coming for Christmas."

"Are you okay with that?"

"I don't know, but I guess I have to be."

"Okay, so I'll see you later."

"Yeah."

"Bye."

"Bye." Well at least I get to spend Christmas Eve with Luke. She sighed and went back to work.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > Christmas Eve> > > > > > > > > > > > > >

Lorelai walked through the front door. "Rory! Mommy needs your help!"

Rory came out of her room. "What?"

"I don't know what to wear."

"What about that little red dress of yours?"

"That's for tomorrow."

"Oh. Hmm."

It was quiet for a few minutes. "Oh I know!" Lorelai shouted. "What about that short black dress of mine?"

"That would be perfect with those black shoes with the small bows on them."

"Your right, okay you look for the shoes and I'll go get changed." She said already halfway up the stairs.

Rory opened the oven door and several shoes feel out. She looked in to see the oven completely filed with shoes. This is going to take forever!

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

Lorelai hurried down the stairs bare foot and in her short black dress that feel just above her knees. She had put her makeup on and let her wavy brown her cascade down to her shoulders.

"Did you fine them!" Lorelai called from the foot of the stairs.

"Um, halfway."

"What's halfway?" she asked as she walked into the kitchen.

"Well I only found one of them, but don't worry I'll find the other." Rory said then stuck her head back into the oven.

"Okay. Do you know where my silver heart necklace is?"

"Check the bathroom."

"Right." Lorelai hurried off in the direction of the bathroom.

"Found it!" Rory called.

"Good." Lorelai said as she fastened her necklace around her neck. Rory handed her the shoes and she quickly slipped them on.

"So how do I look?" she asked turning around.

"You look fabulous mom."

"Thanks kid." She gave Rory a hug then grabbed her coat and purse and ran out the door. (Not literally of course because Lorelai Gilmore never runs.)

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

Lorelai parked her jeep to the side of the diner, so the town wouldn't see it.

She quickly stepped up the stairs and knocked lightly on the door.

Luke heard the knock and hurried over to let Lorelai in.

"Hey." Lorelai said, giving him a peck on the lips.

"Hi." Luke said, as he closed the door behind her, then they walked up stairs to his apartment.

"So whatcha make me?"

"Breaded chicken with alfredo sauce and pasta."

"Ooh that sounds good. And what about dessert?"

"I made a chocolate mousse cake."

"Really?"

Yes, and there is enough for you to take home for you and Rory to eat later."

"Your such a good provider."

"In thought you'd like it."

"Well you thought right. What's there to drink?"

"Red or White wine?"

"Um both."

"Well I'm only opening one."

"Then make it white."

"Good choice." Luke opened a bottle of white wine and pored two glasses.

He handed one to Lorelai as he sat down beside her on the couch. "Thanks." She took a sip. "This is great."

"Good."

"Hey Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"Merry Christmas Eve."

Luke smiled. "Merry Christmas Eve." Lorelai smiled back at him. Then they leaned in and meet in a passionate kiss. Lorelai was now lying on top of Luke and had slid her tongue into his mouth, when a timer went off. "That's the food I have to get it." Luke said in between kisses.

"So get it later."

"If I don't get it now it will be ruined and you wont have any dinner."

"Then what are you still doing on this couch? Go go! Why aren't you going?"

"You sitting on me."

"Oh right." She slid off of him. They got up and walked over to the table.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

"Now that was a good dinner." Lorelai said as she put her plate in the sink.

"Well I'm glad you liked it."

"Thank you. This has been one of the best Christmas Eves ever."

"Good." He leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips. He began to pull away but Lorelai pulled him back. The kiss started to get intense as they made there way over to the bed. They both fell onto the bed never breaking the kiss.

The next morning Luke was trying to get Lorelai up

"Lorelai come on get up."

"No too early, early must die."

"You know you have to get up."

They had made it a routine every time Lorelai spent the night at Luke's for Luke to wake her up when he got up, which was before the sun was even up, so she could get home without the town seeing her.

"No!" she said as she grabbed a pillow and threw it in the direction that she thought Luke was, she missed.

Better pull out the bribe. "I've got coffee."

"I'm up, where's the coffee?"

"It's on the table."

"Ugh. Can you help me get up?"

"Lorelai."

"Please?"

"Fine." He reached over and pulled her up and directed her towards the table.

They sat down across from each other. Lorelai took a sip of her coffee then looked up at Luke. "Merry Christmas Luke."

"Merry Christmas Lorelai." They smiled and continued to eat their food.
