A/N: Here is the fourth chapter! You want to see what happens, don't you? Well, here we go!....



Lorelai just stared at him not believing what he just said. He was in love with her. She wondered how long, so, she snapped out of it and decided to ask him that question.

"H-how long?" she squieked (because her throat was dry after starting at him with her mouth open).

He shurgged. "For about...ever since I saw you."

"Even when I called you Duke?" (A/N: or was it Zuke?...)

He smiled. "Yeah, even when you called me Duke."

"Wow," she said. She never thought that he would be in love with her. Maybe like, but not love. "Oh my God."

"What?"

"You must have been sooo mad at me when I kept on bringing 'my men' in."

"No, I wasn't, I was jealous, becuase they were the happiest men alive."

"Psh, I don't make men happy. I brake their hearts, remember Max?"

"It was your decsion not to go to the wedding, you just weren't ready and you weren't as in love with him as you thought," he explained.

"You know, how come everybody knows me better than I do? Everyone does that."

"Sorry."

"No, it's ok, I mean it's mostly my mom and Sookie, I guess I'm just easy to read," she said sitting down on the couch.

Luke sat down next to her. They both sat in silence for a few minutes, then Luke turned to face her.

"Lorelai, you know, what I said, it isn't going to ruin our friendship, is it?"

She looked at him. "Of course not. I mean, everyone says we should be together, why not at least try, right?"

Luke stared at her for a moment. He couldn't believe his ears. He noticed she was looking at him, waiting for an answer. He just nodded. That was enough for her. She smiled at him. They looked into each others eyes for a little bit, then Luke leaned in to kiss her. When she noticed this, she held her breath in anticipation. He was about one inch away from her face, the front door opened.

"Mom?" Rory asked as she put her jacket away.

Lorelai looked at Luke with sad eyes. "In here," she answered never taking her eyes off his.

Rory and Jess walked in and Luke and Lorelai turned to face them.

"Hey Luke, Lorelai," Jess said.

"Yeah. What are you doing here?" Lorelai asked him as he walked further into the room.

"Came to get Luke, need help cleaning up, we had a busy day, but Luke wouldn't know cause he wasn't there, all day."

"Really," she said turning her head towards Luke. "And where has Luke been?"

"You know, just, places," Luke replied.

"Uh-huh, so...what places did you go to?"

"Uh, you know, the hardware store. Doose's Market to look at the tofu, not a very good choice today, went to the video store, got a few movies..."

"So that's why 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' was out!"

"Yeah, I checked it out and then burned it," he said getting a little annoyed.

"*Gasp* Don't you say that! You could scare a girl by doing that."

"Not just any girl, just you."

"Well at least I have a favorite movie, what about you? Do you have a favorite one?"

"Not with Oompa Loompas," he said sarcastically.

"Why do I even ask you questions, you never even give me answers to them!"

"If you wanna know answers to questions, don't ask me."

"Fine then, I won't ask you anything, oh, better yet, I won't even talk to you!"

"Fine by me," he said getting up. "Come on Jess, let's go."

Lorelai glared at Jess. He gave Rory a questionable look when Luke grabbed him by the arm and dragged him out of the room. After a few more seconds had passed, they heard the front door slam.

Rory was completely clueless. She looked at her mom who had teared up.

"Mom? What happened here tonight?" Rory asked as she sat down next to Lorelai.

"Luke and I had a fight, you just saw it," she said letting the tears fall down her cheeks.

"Mom, what happened before?"

Lorelai looked at Rory. She was wondering if she should tell her. "Luke told me he was in love with me and we decided to start dating, but now it's off becau-"

"Oh my God mom! This is huge! Really? He loves you? Do you love him back? Of course you do, or you wouldn't have decided to go out. Mom, I'm so happy for you."

"Rory, we're not going to date, we never will. I told you it is off now because we had a fight."

"Mom, how could you do this? How could you let him slip by you once and now again?"

Lorelai looked at Rory. "What?"

"Mom, he has always been perfect for you. He loves you, you love him. You guys were ment to be together. I mean sure you have fights, but what couples don't? Without the fights, you wouldn't have love and kindness."

"Rory, I don't know I me-"

"Mom, listen to me, don't let him go again."

Lorelai looked at Rory, but then got an idea. "Rory, I have an idea!"

Rory watched as her mom jumped up from the couch and dig through the bags until she found the one thing she was looking for. Then Lorelai ran upstairs and then came back the next minute. After that she grabbed her jacket and ran out the door saying goodbye to Rory. Rory just sat there looking dumbfounded. She went to the bags and searched in all of them. Then she noticed what was missing....

.......................................................

Luke and Jess walked into the diner and sat down at one of the tables.

"Luke, what's going on, you didn't speak the whole way back here, now your in a deep thought. Why won't you tell me?" Jess asked as he looked at Luke.

"I told her," Luke said simply.

"Told her what?"

"That I loved her."

"Whoa, what happened after that?"

"We decided to date, then we were about to kiss, but you two showed up."

"I'm sorry. I would have known, we would have waited a little longer on the porch."

"You guys were on the porch, what were you doing?" Luke asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, just making out."

"You what?!"

"Don't worry, Dean is out of the picture."

"I should worry! Rory was better off with Dean. Why the hell did you pick you over him?"

"Cause I can make her happier. I won't be an overprotective boyfriend like the prick is. I know that she'll be happier with me instead of that weirdo loser who she used to call her boyfriend."

"Yeah, and now you know what? Lorelai is going to be mad at me, do you want to know why?"

"Because she will think that you supported me being with Rory?"

"Yeah, and you know what else? She'll think that I had something to do with it, and she of course be really mad at you, so, you ruined all three of us, congratulations," Luke said angrily.

"I'm sorry that I happen to be in love with somebody, dont' worry, next time I won't fall in love with a girl I just happen to be attracted to, ok?"

"Don't say that you love her, it will only make things worse when she realizes that she would be better off with Dean instead of you."

"My God! Give me a break! Just because that the thing with Lorelai was bombed because we came in too soon, doesn't mean that it gives you the right to yell at me like I'm some criminal."

"Well, you will be Jess. Just leave her alone, ok? Stop making her choose."

"Well, here's some info: I didn't make her choose, Dean did. And you know what? She chose me of Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes who works at a stupid little market bagging little stupid items on minimum wage!" Jess said p-oed.

At that second, Jess ran up the stairs before Luke could reply. So now things were hot between practically everyone. Luke/Jess, Luke/Lorelai, Jess/Dean, Dean/Rory. When were thing going to get better?



A/N: When ARE things going to get better? Soon? Later? Sometime in the near future? Maybe! But you have to wait until tomrorrow to find out what else is going on.
