Chapter 8: Do you know the muffin man?
Lorelai walked to the door and opened it quickly. Rory, who was trying to insert her key into it, jumped back surprised to see her mother standing there with Luke. When she got over the shock, Rory leapt forward and hugged her mother tightly.
"How are you mom? You feeling all right? You seemed ok when I came home before." Rory smiled slyly and looked at Luke. He just cleared his throat and walked back into the kitchen.
"Did I embarrass him?" Rory whispered amusedly.
"I think you embarrassed both of them." Lane said, pointing to the pink tinge forming on Lorelai's cheeks.
"I'm not embarrassed, just a little…err…hot. Yeah that's it, hot. You know, high temperature and all." She said quickly, following Luke into the kitchen.
Rory and Lane smiled knowingly at each other, closing the front door behind them.

8 days later...Monday morning…
"Mum hurry up! I want to go to Luke's before school! I'm starving!" Rory shouted from the bottom of the stairs.
"I haven't been outside the house in a week! I gotta look good ok!" A voice came from Lorelai's room.
"Just hurry up."
10 minutes later…
Lorelai and Rory were sitting in Luke's, both with extra large meals in front of them. For the past week they had stayed at home watching videos and talking about anything and everything, not eating properly the entire time. Rory had the week off because the rest of her class hadn't returned from the camp and today was her first day back. Leaving Lorelai to entertain her self for the day.
"So tell me why your not allowed at work again?" Rory asked as she stuffed her face full of eggs.
"Well Michel called this morning while you were in the shower and yelled at me for telling Sookie I was coming in today. He said that everything was fine and that I wasn't allowed to work for at least 3 more weeks." She had a sip of her orange juice. "Anyway, he was trying to act all concerned but really I think he just likes all the power he has around the place."
"I think you're right."
"Yeah so I was thinking maybe I could get all dressed up and sneak in and see if everything really is in working order. What do you reckon my disguise should be? I could've done the whole Marilyn Monroe thing but I thought…Nah…to unoriginal so then I was like 'brainwave!' and I said to myself, I'll steal some of Luke's clothes and go as a woodchopper! I can take an axe with me and build in one of those little surveillance camera things into the blade and then send the tape to one of those current affairs programs and reveal to the whole world the real scandal behind Michel!"
"Mom! Take a breath! I'm sure everything is fine at the Inn just find something else to do, something relaxing preferably."
"But I have nothing TO do and no one to do it with!" Lorelai shouted.
"I'll do it with you if you like." Kirk said from the counter.
"Shut up Kirk, stop listening to our conversation." She groaned.
"Well I'm sorry Mum but I gotta go to school. I'll see you tonight." Rory rose from her chair, kissed her mother on the cheek and walked out the door.
"LUUUUUUUUUKE!" Lorelai screamed from her seat. He rushed out of the kitchen, still holding a spatula thinking something was wrong. He rolled his eyes when he saw Lorelai pointing at the muffin box and pouting.
"Can I have one? Blueberry please!"
"Sure, get it yourself, the ovens on if you want to heat it up." He grunted and walked back into the kitchen. Lorelai sat in shock momentarily as what Luke had said sunk in. Then she grinned and ran to the muffins. She picked up the biggest one and put it in the oven. A few seconds later, she took it back out again and bit into it. Her smile grew wider.
"Luke these are really good!" She said.
She leaned on the counter and watched as he came out of the kitchen, carry a meal to the table by the window and come over to her. He leaned over, directly across the way to Lorelai, on the side she would normally sit on.
"I'm glad you like them." He said.
"This is to weird Luke." She said quickly. He frowned a little. Lorelai saw his reaction and realizing what she had said, went about fixing it. "I mean, I'm behind the counter and you're in my seat! That's like so very Twilight Zone-y of us! Its to weird."
She ran around the counter, grabbed Luke by the ear and dragged him to where she was previously standing. Then she ran back around and sat in her normal seat.
"Much better." She said.
Luke rubbed his ear, "Yeah. Much better."
"I know! You get the job of entertaining me today!" She said excitedly.
"Oh joyess times." Luke said sarcastically.
"Don't be like that! I'm lotsa fun to have around!"
"Well I suppose you can hang around and help me here today but it won't be very exciting."
"I'm not worried, you'll find some way to entertain me I'm sure."
~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
Luke and Lorelai were sitting up in his apartment eating lunch. They had decided to close the diner until dinner, as there were no customers at this time of the day.
"I can't believe it! I'm eating healthy food in your presence Luke!" Lorelai exclaimed as she took another bite out of the salad sandwich Luke had prepared for her.
"Yeah." Was her only reply.
"Monosyllabic man strikes again!"
"Yeah."
"Are you even listening to me?"
"Yeah."
"So I'm right when I say that you're going to serve all your customers in the next week without clothes on?"
"Yeah."
Lorelai got out of the chair she was sitting on and moved over to where Luke was sitting on the couch. And after several hopeless attempts to catch his attention, she sat in his lap. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she asked,
"What's wrong Luke?"
"Are you quiet comfortable?"
"Are you finished dodging the question?"
"Are you going to answer every question with a question?"
"If it gets you talking, then yes."
"Gotcha."
Lorelai gave him a serious look.
He sighed. "Its just that lately I've had to close the diner earlier than usual, like today because of a lack of business. I'm worried that less and less people are coming to my place and are going to those damn fast food death traps!" a tear developed in his eye as he continued, "I don't want to lose the diner Lorelai, it means so much to me."
Lorelai wiped his eye. "Luke I'm sure you're not going to lose the diner. Everyone in Stars Hollow comes here at least twice a week! That's gotta be profit enough! Just because they don't come in the middle of the afternoon doesn't mean they're never coming back. No one could resist your charms for that long!" Luke smirked.
"Anyway, Rory and I make up three quarters of your profits, so if we keep coming back then your fine!"
Luke thought for a moment then smiled, genuinely.
"Thank you Lorelai." He said.
Lorelai put a hand up to her mouth in shock. "Do that again." She stated.
"What are you talking about?"
"Smile again."
"Ah…why?"
"I've never seen you smile like that before, it was…well…beautiful, for lack of a better word."
"I'm not beautiful Lorelai," though you are he thought.
"NO! Because you're big macho Luke! Who wouldn't take a complement and wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary."
"Oh so now I'm ordinary!" He pouted a little, "Is this pick on Luke day? If so, why was I not informed?"
"That's not what I said Luke."
"Oh? Then what?"
"Grr! You're so difficult!" She turned her head away. Luke stared at her features and in fear of her leaving, took her chin in his hand. He turned her face towards him and spoke,
"You're saying that I'm predictable and boring and that I'm no fun to be with?" he asked.
Lorelai shook her head lightly. His intense gaze drew her in. He was looking at her lovingly but no differently than he did most days, just more passionate. Then she realized; everybody who had ever told her that Luke had a thing for her was absolutely right. And she realized, not for the first time, that she felt the same.
"So what would you say if I did this?" he whispered before leaning in and kissing her nervously on the lips. And although it was quick, the kiss expressed all of their feelings and emotions to the other. They both grinned stupidly as they pulled back.
"I'd say your not predictable and that you should do it again." She giggled lightly as she felt his lips against hers once more.
Aaawww how swweeeettt, ok im all lovey dovey now! Ok sorry for so much fluff, thought they earned it though wodda u reckon? R/R!!!
