On my way into town I thought about all the possible things Luke could do to me. I couldn't think long though, because as I walked up to the diner, I noticed he wasn't in sight. I quickly made my way inside and behind the counter. I was reaching for the coffee pot when someone grabbed my hand.
"Drat! Foiled again." I turned around and Luke stood scowling in front of me. He didn't say anything, but he pulled me over to a corner. "Oh, hey Luke. You seem upset. You wanna talk about it?" I tried my innocent act, but he saw right through it.
"Don't start Lorelai. I'll never know what the hell goes through that mind of yours." he shook his head.
"Can I have some coffee? Please?????"I whined.
"Get it yourself."
"Wow, self service. You really know how to treat your customers." I commented sarcastically.
"Put a cork in the sarcasm. We need to talk."
"Ok, listen Luke..." but he cut me off.
"No you listen! Wait, you talk cause I want to know exactly whats wrong with you."
"Well, I...ummmm...." I stammered "All that it.. uh... meant was that..." As I spoke I looked up, directly into Luke's clear blue eyes. I couldn't think of anything to say that made sense, or that was even remotely witty. "Uh...You have nice eyes?"
"What?" he looked at me while I tried to figure out what was happening. Rory's words came back at me.'Seeing how you two have those daily flirting matches ...' Maybe she was right. We did flirt a little.
"Luke, do we flirt?" I asked casually.
"Where the hell did that come from?." He was clearly uncomfortable, because he started to blush again.
"We've been friends for what seems like forever, and I feel like I can tell you anything. An I hope you feel you could do the same to me too."
"Lorelai, why did you lick my chin?"
"I don't know. Do I need a reason? Think about who you're talking to here."
"Good point." he took my coffee mug and went to fill it up.
I sat waiting for Luke to return, and my mind wandered to Max. I was suppose to give him an answer tomorrow, but I hadn't even thought about what to say. I looked at my watch and figured out how much time I had. A half an hour unil I should be getting home. I sighed then yelled at Luke.
"Hey Luke, you might want to get that coffee out here, I have to eat and then get home to Rory." Soon he came back with a steaming coffee cup in one hand, a blueberry muffin in the other.
"Thought you might need a snack." he said.
"Oh, you're so sweet! Maybe it's you I should marry instead of Max." I joked. Luke got a weird look on his face. He left the coffee and rushed into the kitchen. I just stared until he disappeared, then I jumped up and followed him.
"Luke! What was that?" I demanded.
"I don't know what you're talking about."he lied. "Hey! Wait, you.. you can't be in here. If something happened to you, I would feel horrible. Not to mention my insurance doesn't cover you." he blurted out.
"You are seriously babbling mister! I've known you forever..."
"As you already pointed out." he cut in. I gave him a look before I continued.
"And I demand you tell me what's wrong!"
"You wouldn't understand Lorelai." he sighed.
"Okay. I'll annoy you until you break down, but it'll have to wait." I gave him one last look before I walked out of the kitchen and started home.
