Two Guys and Two Gilmores
Chapter 4 - Make-Ups, Break-Ups and Reconciliations
Lorelai rolled over, slightly uncomfortable with a hard, cheap pillow cramming into her side, and opened her eyes. She glanced around the room and realized that she was in Luke's apartment. She mechanically felt the space next to her, it was cold and she knew that Luke must not have slept there. Sure enough, when she turned around, there he was, curled up in an arm chair, sleeping soundly. After a moment, she regained her memory and remembered why she was there. She let out a deep sigh and flopped back onto the hard pillows. A few hours later, Lorelai breathed in and smelled the familiar scent of coffee brewing. She lifted her tired body up and saw Luke pouring her coffee in his kitchen area. She walked over to him silently, crept closer behind him, and lightly kissed his back. He jumped and almost spilled the coffee.
"Jeez, you almost scared me half to death." He smiled at her and kissed the top of her head.
"All in a days work." She sat down on a chair and sipped her coffee, quietly. Luke came over and sat down next to her, looking uncomfortable.
"Listen, Lorelai. I'm sorry about the whole Jess thing. If I had known that he took Rory's bracelet, I would've made him give it back right away."
"I know that. I'm not mad at you, silly. You're so great, don't you know that?" She played footsie with him underneath the table while smiling at him warmly and Luke blushed.
"Thanks." He glanced at her worriedly. "So, are you alright?"
Lorelai sighed again and a look of pain spread over her face. "I guess. I mean, I know I did a stupid thing but why did she get so mad? That's not like Rory, she's always so rational and kind." Luke looked at her sympathetically. "You know she broke up with Dean?"
"What?" Luke was shocked.
"Yeah, apparently he doesn't trust her."
"That's so stupid, Rory would never hurt him and he knows it. What a jerk."
"He loves her, Luke, I know he does. It's just....Rory has been spending so much time with Jess lately, that he flipped."
"I never see them together." Luke said, confused.
"Her and Jess ate lunch together at that basket auction thing, remember?"
"Well, Jess never told me. I figured he didn't even go to it."
Lorelai nodded sadly and was quiet until Luke spoke.
"So, you think Jess likes Rory?" He stammered nervously.
"Yeah, he keeps calling her. He's jealous of Dean, so yeah, I think he likes her." She could barely get it out, the thought of Jess and her daughter together was too much for her.
"Maybe she can straighten him out, you know, make him see the light or something." Lorelai just nodded sadly, again. "You okay?" He leaned in closer to her from across the table and rubbed her arm gently.
"Yeah." She smiled faintly and got up slowly. "I'm gonna go get Rory, I got a lotta butt-kissing to do."
"Good luck." He gave her a warm hug and pulled her in towards him. He kissed her on the top of her head and glided his hands over her back. "So, you think maybe, after all this Rory stuff is taken care of, we could go out again?"
"I'd love that." She pecked him quickly on the nose and grabbed Rory's bracelet from the table. "I'll see you later."
"Let me know how everything turns out, okay? I don't like to see you and Rory this way." He looked at her sadly.
"I will. Bye-bye." She gave him one last kiss before leaving the apartment.
*****************************************************************
Lorelai pulled up to her parents large house, in Hartford, and got out of the car. She walked up to the front door, dreading going inside, and finally knocked. Emily swung the door open and stared at Lorelai, coldly.
"Uh, hi Mom. Can I come in?" There was a brief pause as Emily stared at Lorelai, blocking the doorway.
"So, what, you just let your only daughter go traipsing onto a bus in the middle of the night without even calling to see if she made it here safely?"
"She's a big girl, Mom."
"I know but-"
"Are you gonna let me in or would you rather me warm up your stairs a little bit longer."
Emily spoke sharply. "Rory's in the study." She stood in the doorway a little bit longer until finally allowing Lorelai to pass through. Emily watched her walk through her house, to the study.
She walked down the broad corridors of her parents elegant hallway before reaching the study. The door was open a crack, so Lorelai peered in, to find her daughter sitting there, in Richard's heavy armchair, sulking. She knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in." Rory's tone in obvious sadness.
Lorelai slid into the room, making no sound, and sat across from Rory in another chair.
"Hey."
"Hey." Rory repeated, not looking up from her lap.
"Listen, I am so, so, so, so, sorry. I mean it. You're the best kid a girl could ask for and the only person in this world who can tolerate my wacky behavior. You're my bestest-best friend in the whole world. Please come home. Please."
Rory brought her face up to meet Lorelai's and smiled happily.
"Does that mean I'm forgiven?" Lorelai asked, hopefully.
"You're forgiven. Sorry I overreacted, it's just this whole thing with Dean and everything, I just went nuts. Sorry."
"No, you have nothing to be sorry about. You did nothing to deserve this lack of trust people seem to be having for you lately. You're the best and I trust you completely."
"Completely?"
"Completely." Lorelai got up and wrapped her arms around her daughter, squeezing her tight.
"Does this mean your not gonna sabotage my phone messages, anymore?"
"Nope, those messages are for Rory's ears only."
"Good." Rory was relieved. They sat back down and Rory told Lorelai everything, about Jess and Dean and the break-up and Lorelai told Rory about her date with Luke, but Lorelai did not give her the bracelet back. Then, she took Rory's hand in hers and they walked out of the room, together.
*****************************************************************
Luke got up from his stool as the last of his customers left the diner. He walked to the door and flipped the sign from open to closed. Lorelai didn't come in again that day but she called him to inform him that everything was okay. Her and Rory went shopping and then saw a movie. He was happy with him and Lorelai and happy that Lorelai and Rory were okay but he couldn't get his mind off of Jess. He sighed to himself and trudged up the stairs. He walked in and saw Jess on his bed, reading and eating chips. Luke pulled a chair in closer to Jess and sat down beside him. Jess looked up a stared at him staring at him.
"What?" He finally asked. Luke stared into Jess's eyes for a moment.
"So, you took Rory's bracelet, huh?" He asked him, still looking at him quizzically.
"What bracelet?"
"You know what bracelet. The one Dean gave her. You took it."
"Oh, that bracelet." He said as if this was some kind of joke.
"So, why'd you do it?"
Jess got up and grabbed his book, ready to walk out the door. Luke jumped up and grabbed his arm.
"You're not going anywhere until you explain yourself." He pushed Jess down on the bed.
"Explain my what?"
Luke's face reddened and his voice got louder.
"Explain why, after all the times Rory and Lorelai have tried to be nice to you and after all the times I tried to be understanding, why you keep blowing everyone off and acting like a jerk. Why? What is so wrong in the little life of Jess, why do you think you're so neglected? What the Hell is wrong with you?"
"Nothing."
"You know what, if you really hate it here so much, then leave. Just go." Luke's face softened and saddened as he sat back down and leaned his body against the chair, feeling deflated.
"I gave the bracelet back." Jess said quietly.
Luke looked up and sighed. "I know."
"She dropped it on the bridge that day we had lunch and I picked it up. And I really hate that Dean guy, so I thought , maybe if I took it, I could somehow make Rory stop liking him."
Luke looked at him, confused. "Why would Rory not like Dean because a bracelet is missing?"
"I have no idea." Jess chuckled lightly. "I was desperate."
Luke smiled. "So, will you please try not to steal anymore, please?"
Jess looked at him and nodded his head.
"Yeah, sure."
Jess stood up and walked over to Luke. He bent down and gave Luke a quick hug.
"So, tell me. What's going on with Lorelai?"
Luke looked at him shocked. "How did you-"
"Well, you guys were acting all Romeo and Juliet in the diner last night, I figured something was up."
"Jess, please don't tell anyone. Lorelai will be mad if I tell you-"
"Relax. I won't tell. Hey, how's this....Lorelai who?"
"Good, good. I bought it."
"Good."
They continued talking for the rest of the night.
*****************************************************************
Dean had bagged his last grocery an hour ago and was just standing behind the counter, waiting. Business at Doose's was slow that day because a bad shipment of lettuce came in and word got around that it was sort of a gray, brownish color. When the bells on the door jingled, he looked up. He was shocked to see Rory standing there, busying herself with some heads of lettuce. He swallowed hard and nervously walked out from behind the counter, over to Rory.
"Hey, I hear those things aren't too tasty right now."
Rory recognized the voice and looked up, shocked to see Dean standing there, next to her.
"Uh, yeah, they're definetly having some problems. I think they contacted the Lettuce Police."
"Well, with this town, you never do know." He smiled lightly at Rory then looked down towards the floor.
"So, how are you?" Rory asked, digging her hands into her pockets, forcefully.
"Uh, fine. You?"
"The same."
They stared at each other awkwardly until Dean all of a sudden jumped towards her, kissing her deeply, his tongue forcing it's way into her mouth. Rory pulled away and jumped back in panic.
"What was that!" Rory yelled, nervously.
"I'm sorry, Rory, I do trust you. Let's forget everything that happened, okay? Let's be a couple again, please? C-mon, what do you say?" He stared into her eyes, hopefully.
"Dean, this goes way beyond the fight we had. It just can't work, I'm sorry."
She looked at him pleadingly, begging him silently for forgiveness.
Dean spoke quietly. "Why?"
"Because.....because....be-"
"Why, Rory?" He looked at her, heartbroken.
She sighed deeply and gave in. "Because...because I like someone else."
She felt a small tear fall out of her eye and roll down her face. She looked towards the floor, in shame of her own feelings. She stared at the floor until she felt a gentle touch on her shoulders.
"Rory?" He asked, softly.
She sniffled. "Yeah?" Still not looking up.
"Rory. Rory, it's okay."
She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She brought her face back up to meet his eyes.
"Really?"
"I don't want you to keep going out with me if you would really rather be with someone else." The words pierced his heart like a knife. "I love you and I want you to be happy."
"Really?" She asked again.
"Yes."
They hugged each other then said their good-byes.
*****************************************************************
The doorbell rang at exactly 7:00 sharp and a fretful Lorelai Gilmore came racing down the stairs, tripping over her heels.
"Ugh, why can't I get the hang of this." She said to herself, referring the fact that she tries repetitively to put her shoes on, while going down the stairs. She ran up and flung the door open, revealing Luke and a bouquet of daisies.
She saw him and smiled. " Oh, Luke. You didn't have to bring me flowers."
"I know, but they only cost ten bucks. I saved a lot by not getting you the roses." He smiled.
"Oh, I feel the love. Thank-you." She grabbed her coat and he helped her put it on. "Rory, I'm leaving!" She yelled to Rory, who was in her room studying for a chemistry test.
"Okay, have fun!"
They got into Luke's truck and Lorelai turned the radio up really loud, making Luke cover his ears. She smiled at him and lowered it to a more respectable volume.
"Thank-you."
"So, Lucas, where will you be taking me on this divine evening?"
"I made reservations at this restaurant over on that road, over there, you know."
"Wow, look who's not being vague."
"I don't remember the name, but I promise you, you'll like it."
"Um, is it in Stars Hollow?" She asked, worriedly, suddenly getting more serious.
"No, it's in Woodbridge. Are you kidding? If we went out together in Stars Hollow, they'd have cameras set up around us then the next thing you know we'd be seen on the 6:00 news"
"Yeah." They turned to each other and shared a warm smile.
They talked more until they reached the restaurant. They strolled into the place, their hands never parting. They sat down in one of those round seats that is like one seat but big and circular in a dimmed corner, secluded from the rest of the people.
"Ooooh, I like this table. We can do bad things over here and no one would even notice." She smiled at him wickedly and he blushed a deep red. "Aw, you're blushing!"
"I am not." He defended himself and brought a menu up, covering his face. Her fingers clasped onto it's rim and brought it back down.
"You are too!" She laughed as he chuckled softly. She moved closer to him and leaned in, close to his face. She placed a small kiss on his cheek and rubbed his arm softly. They looked at each other for a minute, silently. "God, Luke, we've only been going out a few days, but I feel like, I don't know, like we've been going out forever, you know?"
"Yeah, I know." He brought his arms up around her shoulders and cradled her next to him for a few minutes, kissing her gently. He encircled her with his strong arms and glided his fingers all over her body. When they pulled apart, they noticed the waiter staring at them. They glanced at each other and giggled like two hopeless teenagers. The waiter took their orders and left quickly.
"Hey, Luke, remember when Sookie and Jackson first started going out and I was all jealous of them, saying I wish I had what they had?"
"Yeah." He said, slightly confused.
"And how when you first go out with someone, every touch is incredible and how every joke is funny.."
"Yeah." Luke repeated, not as confused.
"I have that now." She blushed a light pink and Luke laughed.
"Look who's blushing now, oh, I do believe it's Lorelai Gilmore, getting all sentimental."
'I am not!"
"Uh huh?"
"I'm not, I'm always this color when.." Her voice got low and seductive, "I wanna do bad things with Luke Danes." His face returned to it's beet red color.
"Oh, yeah, look who's blushing now, I do believe it's Luke Danes, when he's incapable of saying dirty things."
"Fine, you win."
"Of course."
They talked, held hands, and kissed all through dinner then returned home, each of them extremely happy.
