Chaper 2 - A Date From Heaven and A Date From Hell.

Written by Fiana Muhlberger

Pairing - L/L and R/J. It will be a R/J. I like writing Jess, he's more fun then Dean and i think Rory really likes him. Jess is more laid back while Dean is super tense all the time and treats her like property. But, he DID make her a car which i thought was SO sweet so I'm not sure. Anywho, it's a L/L + R/J!

Summary - Chronicles Luke and Lorelai's first date and Rory and Dean's last date.

A/N - Thank-you SO much for reviewing! And the person who mentioned the smile thing was absolutely right, I hadn't noticed it while I was writing but I do now so I'll cut back on the smile usage this chapter. :) Thanks!

Lorelai was standing in front of her mirror looking at herself for the millionth time in one hour. All kinds of clothes were strewn everywhere and a huge, growing pile of shirts and skirts sat on the bed. After about ten minutes, she decided on a semi-tight black shirt with rhinestones along the sleeves and neckline and a loose-fitting but short, black skirt. She combed her hair through the mass of curls and puffed it up with her hands to give it a little extra bounce. She put on her fuzzy pink slippers and gave herself one last look. Casual, yet classy and comfortable. She was all set for her first date with Luke. When she thought about it, butterflies invaded her stomach. She went downstairs and put on coffee for herself and peppermint tea, for Luke. At 7:01pm, the doorbell rang. She ran to the door, stopping and taking in a deep nervous breath before letting him in. She opened the door slowly and saw Luke. He had on his usual attire, but smelled really good.

"Hey you, your a minute late!" She teased him as she let him into the house.

"Oh my God, a whole entire minute. I'm so ashamed of myself." He answered sarcastically.

They walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. They looked at each other awkwardly for a moment until Luke spoke.

"So, what movie are we gonna watch?" He answered as if any movie Lorelai picked out would be one that would drive him crazy and annoy him to death.

"Whatever you want."

"Well, what do you have?"

"Everything and anything." She replied as she gestured to her enormous video collection.

"Oh, okay. Um, let me see. Rocky?"

"Uh, no,"

"Rocky 2?"

"Hmmm, no."

"Rocky 3?"

"Nope."

"No Rockies?"

"No Rockies."

"Jurassic Parks?"

"No."

"Do you have anything that does not involve dumb English guys or short little fat men singing and chanting about short little fat kids?"

"No." She answered, grinning.

"Okay. Fine. You win. What would YOU like to watch?"

"Hmmm, you know, I'm in the mood for a real sappy, corny love story that involves major lip-locking, marriages and cute little happy couples. All that stuff you hate."

Luke groaned, but agreed after incessant begging and pleading from Lorelai. She decided on "Return to Me". Which made Luke groan even louder.

"Oh, shush up." She told him and hit him in the arm playfully, "It's not that bad."

She went into the kitchen and fixed them both coffee and tea. She walked back out and handed him his drink.

"Thanks." He took a sip and told her that it was great.

"Not as great as your coffee." She said as she took a long sip. There was a brief pause.

"Hey, um, I forgot to tell you before but, you look really great, tonight." He bit his lip, scared of what she would say. Lorelai was taken by surprise at the sweet compliment and blushed.

"Thank-you, you do to."

They shared a sweet smile and then turned the movie on. After they were about half-way through the movie, Luke nervously wrapped his arm around her shoulders. She snuggled closer to him, letting him know that it was okay. Even though the lights were dimmed, he couldn't stop looking at her. He thought she was the most beautiful person in the whole world. From behind her, he brought his hand up to her hair and lightly stroked her curls with his fingertips. He ran his fingers down over her shoulders again and back up to her neck. He caressed the soft, sensitive skin behind her neck and made her tickle and shiver. He couldn't stop touching the smooth skin.

"Luke...." Lorelai said very softly.

Luke got scared and immediately removed his hands and brought them back down to his lap.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." He apologized quickly.

"No, no. Don't be sorry. Come 'ere."

She took his hands in her own and squeezed them reassuringly. She leaned in towards him and placed a small, gentle kiss on his cheek while his arms moved around her back and held her close to him. Her fingers trailed up and down his spine causing him to quiver and shake. As she moved them up into his hair and allowed her fingers to intertwine with the strands, his baseball cap fell off and dropped onto the floor making a thud. He gently caressed her sides, running his nails up and down over the soft fabric. They pulled away from the sweet embrace and for the first time, pressed their lips against each other's. The two tounges overlapped each other and swirled around. He breathed in and smelt vanilla mixed with strawberries in her hair. She crawled onto his lap and he held her close to him as he kissed her gently. He kept on sroking her back seductively as she did the same to him. When they pulled apart he brushed her stray hair back behind her ears and leaned in whispering.

"I love you. You don't have to respnd, I just wanted you to know that." When he moved back away from her ear, he noticed tears falling from her eyes so he gave her a little kiss on the top of her head.

"Please tell me those are happy tears." He smiled warmly at her while caressing her cheeks.

"They are." She wiped the tears away and hugged him tightly. "They definatly are. I love you too, Luke."

They pulled apart, reluctantly and decided to watch the rest of the movie. By the time it ended, Lorelai was curled up in a ball in his arms, both asleep.

While Luke and Lorelai were on their romantic first date, Rory and Dean were on there one millionth date, or so it seemed. It was their six-month anniversary after getting back together and Rory decided that it would be nice to go to a really fancy resturant. They pulled up to a swanky French resturant in the car Dean had made for her and got out. The entrance room was decorated with expensive curtains and bouquets of roses.

"I wonder how much this place is gonna cost." Dean said, under his breath.

"I'll pay for myself if you don't have enough money." Offered Rory while patting him on the arm.

"No, I'll pay. Just don't get anything TOO expensive, okay?"

"Well, I have enough money so just let me order what I want and I'll pay."

"Fine Rory, whatever."

"What's the matter with you?"

"Just rub it in that I don't have as much money as you do. Just because your grandparents are rich snobs, doesn't mean that you're so much better then me."

"Dean, I'm not trying to make you feel bad. Just forget it, okay? C-mon, our table's ready."

They walked over and sat down at a dim-lit table with flowers everywhere. Dean looked at the menu and a lump formed in his throat.

"Rory, this is really expensive. Do we have to do this?"

"This is a special occasion, I thought it would be romantic but, oviously that's not what's on your mind."

"I just don't understand why we have to get all dressed up in uncomfortable clothes and go to a place that has a million items on it's menu that I've never heard of before and pay two-hundered dollars for snails that haven't even been cooked." Dean retorted in a harsh voice as he threw the menu down on the table hard.

"Your acting ridiculous, Dean, stop it. Your embarressing me."

"I'M embaressing YOU?" He yelled at her from across the table.

"Yes Dean, you are. Now, sit down."

He got up, put on his coat and slammed his menu down again.

"Dean! Where are you going?"

"Home."

"Why? We just got here!"

"Well, I don't like to stay places where I'm obviously not wanted. Bye Rory."

She got up, grabbed his arm and sat him back down.

"Dean, I wanna know what this is really about. Now. You've been acting like this for days, what's going on?"

"You mean you really don't know?"

"I really don't know." She told him, sincerely.

"Well, here's a little hint. You, Jess, late night visit to the diner. Figure it out."

"Wait, how did you know about that?"

"Miss. Patty told me that she saw you go in there after our date last week and that you looked pretty comfortable."

"Dean...."

"What?"

"Okay, so I did go. But, we didn't do anything, I love you and I wouldn't hurt you, never."

"Well, I'm afraid I can't let you see him anymore."

"I can see or talk to whoever i please, Dean. You don't own me like you think you do."

"I don't trust him."

"You mean you don't trust me."

"Is that what you think?"

"Yes."

Rory slowly got up and put her coat back on. She looked at him in the eyes one last time before leaving. She walked out into the cold street and drove away. When she was driving, all alone, tears fell from her eyes and onto the steering wheel. She passed the diner, but this time, didn't see Jess in it. She sighed to herself and just kept on driving. She got home and opened the door very slowly, not to wake her mom. She tip-toed past the couch, where Luke and Lorelai were sleeping, holding each other lovingly. Rory's depressed face instantly turned to smiles when she saw them. Especially when she saw that they were fully-dressed. She pulled a blanket out of the linen closet and covered the sleeping couple on the couch. She walked into her room and checked her voicemail. Two messages from Jess were there.
