CHAPTER TWO

Lying in her bed, Lorelai thought about her long day. She couldn't believe how mean her mother had been to her. Beyond mean even for Emily Gilmore. It felt weird that she was actually happy about something her mother had done. Without her mother's little temper tantrum, she would have never called Jason. And she would have missed out on an enjoyable evening with a very interesting man. If her mother only knew......with that thought, she drifted off to sleep.

She awoke happy and soon remembered why. She jumped in the shower, quickly dressed and was soon on her way to Luke's.

Luke seemed to be his usual grumpy self, no Brennan in site. Yesterday, when he had been so happy she was sure it was because of Nicole. Or something Nicole had done.....ewww.......don't want to think about that.

"Hey, Luke. Kind of busy today."

"Not really, you're just earlier than usual." Luke poured her coffee. He noticed a definite change in her-a happiness he hadn't seen in a while. Couldn't be yesterday, a day with the parents and a football game. Two things that would never make a Gilmore happy. But there was something.....

"How'd it go yesterday? Did you have fun..."

"Yeah, it was great. Eggs, bacon, and pancakes here......please..."

Now Luke knew something was up but he was too busy to ask. Next time he looked up, she was out the door still smiling like a cheshire cat. Sort of like she smiles just before it snows. Luke looked out and it did look a lot like snow. Simple explaination for that smile.

Lorelai stopped at Doseys for some whipped cream (a Gilmore staple), the bakery for a dessert (for her date with Jason) and the drugstore for 'essentials' a girl might need for a romantic night. It couldn't hurt to be prepared. It had been a while and she was in need, to put it mildly. Walking in the door with her arms full, she grabbed the ringing telephone. "Hey, Jason. How was your shopping trip?"

He tried to deny his early whereabouts but she soon got it out of him. Trying to change the subject, he asked about a movie. After much debate, they decided on a romantic comedy- Lorelai's choice of course. He had given up trying to change her mind after about five minutes of arguing. He knew he would never win with her. He silently hoped he never had to do business with her. When he said he was on his way, Lorelai ran upstairs to change.

Jason, not knowing the Gilmore rules, was right on time. But for once, Lorelai was ready. He brought flowers and wine and she thanked him with a hug. Which turned into an embrace and a kiss and soon she was pulling away from him before it got to the point that they would never get out of there. He told her since she picked the movie, that the dinner place was totally his choice. And it was going to stay his little secret. Lorelai loved the way he treated her........made her feel special and pampered.

The movie was fun, romantic and sexy. Jason had held her hand or had his arm around her the whole time. Whispering comments in her ear several times, sometimes kissing her neck, giving her chills. After the movie, they headed out a dark country road...Lorelai was starting to think they were lost. But up ahead she saw a small country restaurant, just the kind of place she would choose herself. They were seated at a small table by the fireplace, not far from a small dance floor. A few couples were dancing to some soft romantic music. They were fun to watch. Dinner was wonderful, steaks done to perfection and wonderful wine. Jason asked her to dance, and he held her closely and kissed her neck. This guy really knew how to push her buttons. And by the feel of things, she seemed to push a few of his. All she wanted now was to be alone with him, and so they headed home. The first thing she noticed was the falling snow......perfect she thought. Special things happen in the snow. When she explained her snow obsession, Jason teased her. But he noticed that special look in her eyes and hoped that magical feeling would someway turn back to him. He maneuvered his way on the icy roads back to Stars Hollow, hoping he wouldn't have to go back out tonight. Lorelai was thinking it was a wonderful, winter night for romance....and was glad for that stop at the drugstore. Safely home, Jason built a fire, poured the wine, and turned off the lights. The snuggled on the sofa, talked and necked like a couple of teenagers. Jason told her he loved her plan for their second date, and he just might let her plan all of their future ones. Talking about the future, made them both feel safe and secure. The wine and the fire led to more......kissing, touching, whispers in the dark.........

Next chapter might have to be bumped up to R. Hope no one minds. But I'm in that sort of mood. R&R if you want more.
