Chapter 4...
Lorelai sat drinking her coffee at a table in the Diner. She gazed out of the window, not really looking at anything. A figure rounding the corner quickly, caught her eye.
It was Dean, and he didn't look happy.
Lorelai put her cup down and watched to see what was going on.
"Luke...." Lorelai yelled, still watching Dean.
"What?" grunted Luke.
"More coffee please!" she said, holding out her cup.
Luke stared down at the cup, like he'd never seen one before. "Dont you think you've taken this whole bottomless cup thing a little too seriously?"
"What ever do you mean?" Lorelai said innocently, turning her attention to Luke.
"I mean, this is your 7th cup." Luke replied gruffly, but he took the cup to refill it.
"What? No fight? That was too easy this time." Lorelai said to him.
"Well after arguing with you over the last 3 cups you've had, I think it's gotten a little old." Luke said, now returning with the cup.
"You're such a good boy, Luke. You understand me well." Lorelai said cheerfully.
Luke put his tea-towel over his shoulder. "Wasn't that Dean just then?" he said, pointing out the window.
"Ohhh... yeah." said Lorelai, thinking. "I wonder what's wrong? I hope it hasn't got anything to do with Rory!"
"Ah, well we're about to find out." said Luke, referring to Jess who was entering with the biggest smile on his face.
"What's Rory and Dean got to do with Jess?" Lorelai asked.
"Honestly Lorelai, you dont see the lovesick look on his face? Ha!"
Lorelai stared at Jess. Yes, he did look extremely happy. Either that, or half stoned.
"He could have just gotten into a fight with Dean, and he won, so he's happy.." said Lorelai, trying to dismiss the thought.
Luke sighed.
"You're not very observant today, either." said Luke, and then he took back her cup of coffee. "I think it's too much coffee."
Lorelai glared at him.
"Look, don't you see the nice shade of pink lipstick Jess is wearing?"
Lorelai looked at Jess more closely, who was beginning to walk up the stairs.
"Oh god.." Lorelai said, her hand going to her mouth. "You dont think?"
Luke nodded. "Uh huh."
Lorelai shook her head vigirously. "No, no... she went to see him in New York to say goodbye, that's it.." Though she didn't believe it herself.
Lorelai suddenly got up, put a bill on the table, and walked out. Luke just stood there, wondering whether he should have said anything.
Jess came back down the stairs, this time in a fresh shirt for his shift at the Diner. Luke turned to him, gave him the evil-eye and went to serve another customer.
"Uncle Luke" Jess acknowledeged. "What's old classic saying? If looks could kill, I'd be dead."
Luke grunted.
"Ah, something's wrong I see."
"How nice of you to notice." Luke snarled.
"Must be something to do with Lorelai." Jess smirked.
Luke stood right in front of Jess. "You can wipe that smirk off your face. What ever schmuck you're getting up to with Rory.. well, just be good. Lorelai is about to go on a killing rampage, and if she finds out you've hurt her precious daughter, you'll be her next victim."
"Whoah, whoah, whoah!" said Jess, putting his hands up in front of him, in surrender. "What makes you so sure there's something going on with me and Rory?"
"As I said to Lorelai. You are wearing some lovely lipstick, Jess." Luke slammed the tea towel on the counter. "I'm going to find Lorelai, and stop her from doing something stupid."
Jess was left gobsmacked, as Luke stormed out of the diner. He didnt know what all the fuss was about...
