Author's Note: Okay here is some Luke/Lorelai goodness for ya! Enjoy and be
ever so kind as to review.
Chapter 5
"Luke!" Lorelai called tiredly upon entering the diner.
Those already in the diner exchanged knowing glances and small smiles that clearly said they approved of the relationship that formed between Luke and Lorelai.
"What?" he called from the kitchen.
"Need. Coffee." she grumbled.
Luke walked out of the kitchen with a look of confusion on his face. "Didn't just give you coffee?"
"That was HOURS ago!" she whined. "Please?!" she begged holding an empty cup in her hands toward him.
"You're going to kill yourself if you keep this up!" he complained but gave her the coffee anyway. "So, did you finally get some sleep?"
Lorelai looked up from her coffee momentarily to give him a glare that clearly said she didn't sleep and would be demanding even more coffee because of it.
"Okay, okay!" he said raising his hands in defeat. "How did the kid sleep?"
"Fine, she had a goofy grin on her face when I went in to wake her up this morning. I think she's dreaming of a guy!" she said smiling.
"Any clue who?" Luke said leaning down in front of her.
"Nope."
"Hmm."
"Anyway," Lorelai began, "did ya wanna come over for a movie tonight?"
"Sure, what time?"
"Around seven?"
"Okay, bring coffee! I gotta go to work!"
"Bye." Luke replied and gave her a small kiss on the lips.
"Whoa, when did you turn into a sap?" she asked playfully.
"When you changed my life." Luke said but then turned his face into disgust, "Did that come out of my mouth?"
"Sure did!" Lorelai chirped cheerily. She loved that she had an affect on him.
"I'm gonna work on that." he said still with the look on his face.
Lorelai shook her head smiling and kissed him again before leaving.
~What has she done to me? More importantly, why do I like is so much?~
"Sookie! Where's the coffee?!" Lorelai called out not looking up. She had just gotten to Independence Inn, and after setting down her purse and telling a joke to Michel that he didn't laugh at she headed for the kitchens.
"Hey sweetie! It's brewing right now." Sookie said, coming out from behind a very large stack of crates filled with pumpkins.
Lorelai looked up from tinkering with her bracelet to see a wall of orange blocking her way.
"Sookie! What's with all the pumpkins?"
"I had Jackson bring them over. I'm planning working pumpkin into most of the menu as part of a theme for October and November!" she replied excitedly.
"Sookie! Sweetie!" Lorelai began, "It's like only a week or so into September! Don't you think it's a little early to start making the food!"
"Oh, no this is only for testing!" Sookie dismissed with a wave of the hand and then continued on to inspect each pumpkin. "I have to practice making the food first so by October everything will be set! There won't be this many when we start in October!"
"Oh thank God cuz this is way too many..."
"They'll be at least triple this many!" Sookie said happily, not hearing Lorelai's comment.
"Great." Lorelai muttered sarcastically.
Towards the end of lunch things, calmed down enough for Sookie and Lorelai to get into a deeper conversation.
"So, hun, how are things going with Luke?" Sookie said as she wiped off the counter she had just finished cooking on.
"Great!" Lorelai said with a falter in her smile.
"Oh, no what's wrong?" Sookie asked, stopping her job and turning her full attention to Lorelai.
"Well, it's just.I love him, with all my heart, I know that and he knows that."
"The whole town knows that," Sookie said soothingly, "and he loves you too."
"I know, and I am so grateful for that but...I don't know where it's going to go."
"What do you mean?"
Lorelai took a deep breath and continued. "I see a future with him, I see myself marrying him but I don't think he does. You know how he feels about marriage...what are the odds he'll wanna marry me." she finished sadly.
"Oh sweetie, don't think like that! You have to realize that ever since you got to together with Luke he's changed, you did that. He's happier, less cynical, he's even treating Jess nicer! Whatever effect you had on him has made him see things in a new light, trust me, marriage might be one of those things." Sookie concluded enthusiastically.
"Thanks Sookie." Lorelai said feeling her heart lift. "So, can you make some more coffee?"
Sookie rolled her eyes.
"Well, it's just since this morning...lot a angry people...had to turn to coffee..." Lorelai stammered.
"Yeah, yeah." Sookie said and began another pot.
Here's the timeline for the story in case you're wondering:
The prequel to this "Love and Coffee" took place in September because school was just starting again for Rory.
Chapter 1 and 2 in this story is one week into September or four days Chilton started up again.
Chapter 3, 4, 5, and 6 take place only three days after the Friday night dinner.
I'm planning on somehow catching the story up to present day but that won't happen for a while with what I have in store for you guys so, if things are a little mixed up season wise and etc. don't be confused or anything about why it's like that.
