Chapter Six:
' How can I tell him? What if he doesn't like me? I don't know if I can tell him. I have to. I have to find out if he feels the same way. If he doesn't where will I get my coffee from now on? I don't think I could face him after he turns me down. Be strong Lorelai Gilmore. You can do it.' Lorelai thought.
With that Lorelai grabbed her jacket and put it on over her blue cloud pajamas. She checked on her daughter and then headed out the door. As she walked towards Luke's she thought of what she was going to say. All to soon it seemed that she had arrived at Luke's.
' Be strong.' She thought.
Lorelai walked up to the door and knocked lightly. When she didn't here anyone yelling or coming towards the door she knocked a bit harder. Suddenly a light came on and Lorelai could see Luke crossing the diner.
" We're closed Lorelai." He said.
" I know. I came here to talk to you. I don't want any coffee although it would be a plus."
" Come in. Are you in your pajamas?"
" Yeah."
" Must be important."
" It is."
' I wonder what it is. She is so beautiful. She probably wants some coffee grounds. I just wish I knew whether or not she returned my feelings.' Luke thought.
" Luke?"
" Yeah?"
" Luke I need to know something. But what you tell me it can't change our friendship."
" What do you need to know?"
" Do you… Do you like me?"
" Yeah, of course I do."
" No, I mean like like?"
" Lorelai?"
" Shut-up." Lorelai said before she grabbed Luke and kissed him.
Luke was surprised at her forwardness but since this was his dream come true he kissed her back. Lorelai was happy that Luke seemed to like her. Slowly she pulled away.
" So you like me?" she asked.
" Yeah, I do."
" Why didn't you tell me?"
" I was afraid you'd turn me down."
" Same here. I need to get going."
" Stay."
" What?"
" Stay the night with me."
" Rory."
" She'll be fine."
" Okay. But I need to call and leave a message."
" Here's the phone."
Lorelai called her home and was surprised when Rory picked up the phone.
" Mom?"
" Rory? I thought you were asleep."
" No I wasn't. Are you at Luke's? Did you tell him?"
" You knew?"
" Yeah."
" Yes I told him and he asked me to spend the night."
" Doing what I don't want to know. Have fun. I'll meet you there at say ten?"
" Good. Will you bring me clothes?"
" Why? Everyone has seen you in your pajamas before they'll just thinking you got there early and been drinking coffee."
" Good point."
" See you soon."
" Okay."
" When are you going to tell someone in the town?"
" Soon."
" Bye. I love you. Tell Luke I said good job."
" Okay. Bye and I love you too."
(Let's just say that neither Lorelai or Luke did much talking after that.)
