"I probably won't have time to stop by for lunch." Lorelai said, putting on her jacket.
"Ok,"
"I'll come by after I get off work so we can start packing your stuff." Lorelai said, smiling. "But could we please keep this on the DL?" Lorelai asked, motioning to the ring on her finger.
"Yeah, whatever you want."
"I just want to tell Rory and Sookie first." Lorelai said. "Before the news is out.
"And your parents."
"No," Lorelai simply said.
"Lorelai yes you have to tell them."
"I know, and I will..." She trailed off.
"Ok,"
"Eventually," She mumbled.
"What was that?" Luke asked.
"Nothing."
"Lorelai?"
"I haven't been over there since the…accident."
"You haven't been to work either but you'll have no problem telling Sookie."
"She's different." Lorelai said, starring at her feet.
"How?"
"Because she likes you and she won't nag about how 'you're not good enough for me' or 'Lorelai your making a huge mistake!' or…"
"Lorelai," Luke interrupted, lifting her chin up. "Do you care if they approve of me or not?" He asked.
"No not at all! I couldn't care less!'
"Then what's the deal?" He asked.
"Nothing," She lied. "I have to go."
She wrapped her arms around Luke and gave him long sweet kiss.
"Michelle…yeah its Lorelai…I need another day off…I can't come in today…yeah I don't feel well…Ok…thanks." Lorelai hung up her cell phone as she pulled into the Chilton parking lot.
She walked all over the school until she found Rory by peeking through a class room.
"On Monday we will start a two week exercise in Creative Writing, but it does not mean we will stop reading." Lorelai heard Max.
"Rory!?" She yelled in a whisper.
She tapped on the glass. As soon as Rory heard the noise and turned and looked Lorelai was frantically motioning for her to outside.
"Uh…Mr. Medina?"
"Yes Rory?"
"May I go to the restroom? I'm not feeling too well." She lied.
"Yes you may,"
That's my little liar!Lorelai thought.
"What's wrong?" Rory asked worriedly.
"Calm down…I have to tell you something." Lorelai said, dragging Rory away from the door so no one would see them.
Lorelai raised her left hand in front of Rory's face.
"He didn't?!" Rory said, excitedly.
"Yes!" Lorelai practically yelled.
"Oh my gosh this is great!" Rory yelled.
Lorelai and Rory started jumping up and down screaming. She was sure everyone in the school heard them, but she didn't care. Not a bit. She'd share her news all over the world if she could.
-"I'm so happy!" Rory shouted.
-"You're happy?" Lorelai laughed.
-"This is great!" Rory said, quieting down.
-"I know, I thought I would tell you first then we could go celebrate."
-"I'm at school," Rory said, stating the obvious.
-"You are?" Lorelai said, sarcastically.
The bell rang releasing the students. Lorelai put on her puppy dog face.
-"Fine," Rory said. "Let me get my stuff." As much as Rory hated missing school she couldn't say no to her mother when it was something this big.
-"So what do you have planned" Rory asked, walking out of the classroom.
-"Well I thought…" Lorelai started.
-"Lorelai?" A voice asked from behind.
She knew that voice. Crap! just say you're in a hurry and don't have time to talk... A knot formed in her stomach. He was one of the last people she wanted to see let alone talk too.
-"Go wait in the car Rory, I'll meet you there." Great going Lorela!
-"Kay,"
Lorelai waited until Rory rounded the corner until she walked in his direction.
-"Yeah?" Lorelai asked.
-"Can I talk to you for a sec?"
Lorelai didn't answer; she just followed Max into his classroom.
-"Hi," Max said.
-"Hey," Lorelai said, uncomfortably.
-"It's nice too see you."
Lorelai only sighed.
-"How are you? You know, since the accident?" He asked.
-"I'm doing a lot better, thanks." Lorelai said, looking at her shoes.
-"What's going on Lorelai?" He asked.
-"What do you mean?" Lorelai said, finally looking up.
-"After I heard about the accident I wanted to come and see you, but Rory refused."
Lorelai gave herself a mental note to thank her daughter.
-"It was just a bad idea."
-"Why?" He asked.
-"Because we were broken up!" Lorelai screamed. "It just would have been bad."
-"I've left you messages to see how you were."
Lorelai just starred at Max, biting her bottom lip.
-"What's been keeping you?"
-"Uh…things."
-"Uh-huh," Max snickered. "What kind of things?"
-"Since when is it your business?" Lorelai asked, angrily.
-"Is there something going on that I don't know about?"
-"Uh…Rory's waiting in the care so I have to go."
-"I'm not going to let you off that easily, Max said.
-"There is nothing you can do about it!" Lorelai said, getting angry again.
-"Yes there is,"
-"No there isn't," Lorelai argued.
-"Yes there is,"
-"What are we in high school?" Lorelai thought about her last remark. "Well technically were in a high school..."
-"I want another chance Lorelai."
-"No," Lorelai said.
-"This is so not you Lorelai."
-"Well you don't know everything about me!"
-"Lorelai, come on." Max said, gently.
-"Class is over,"
-"Well I'm calling it back in session."
-"Well I didn't raise my hand so don't call on me!"
-"You missed me," Max said, with a smile.
-"Max don't,"
-"You're missing me right now."
-"No I am not!" Lorelai shouted.
-"Lorelai I know you want this."
-"You don't know what I'm thinking."
-"Yes I do," Max said, in monotone.
-"Ok physco, I mean physic."
-"Lorelai this isn't you. I know you want this!"
-"You don't know everything about me!" Lorelai repeated.
-"Yes I do," Max said.
-"I bet you didn't know I was engaged did you?!" She shouted. "See I told you so," Lorelai said, after noticing the expression on his face. "Now I have to go." Lorelai said.
When Lorelai was walking towards the door Max grabbed her arms tightly.
-"Max let go of me!" Lorelai shouted, in pain.
He grabbed her arms even harder and kissed her fiercely. What little did they know that a certain blonde head girl was standing in the door way.
Lorelai pushed Max away and slapped him across his face.
-"Just leave me alone!" Lorelai shouted, on the verge of tears ignoring the pain in her arms. She ran out of the room all the way to the parking lot.
She couldn't believe that just happened. She held in her tears and got in the car.
-"What's wrong?" Rory asked. "You look a little flushed."
-"Oh I'm fine," She lied.
Rory knew she lying, but she didn't say anything further. "So what's first on the agenda?" Rory asked, smiling.
A/N: Lets try a new thing here, that little purple button down there lets pretend that is Chris and each time you hit it, it leaves him closer to his dismay, so hit the button!! But if someone happens to like him yuk just pretend it is someone else you don't like. Ready….GO!
my fave part:
-"You don't know what I'm thinking."
-"Yes I do," Max said, in monotone.
-"Ok physco, I mean physic."
