"What did I think? My opinion of John Hughes remains the same. I really don't like his movies except for Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Steve Martin and John Candy traveling cross country together - wackiness ensues- now THAT is entertainment."
"So I wasn't able to convert you after your "Pretty in Pink" trauma?
"These teen love triangles, they are so unrealistic. I didn't get why Keith would spend all of his college money on a pair of earrings for a girl who's not really interested in him."
"Well, I thought it was so romantic. Besides, he wound up giving the earrings to the right girl at the end. Come on Luke, haven't you ever done anything crazy or irrational because you were in love? Like build someone a chuppa, for instance?
"Nothing that comes to mind."
"Well maybe this will jog your memory. Come on, I want to show you something."
Lorelai got up from the couch and Luke followed her into the kitchen. She unlocked the kitchen door and they went outside.
Where is she going with this? "Lorelai, we shouldn't be out here too long. It's mosquito season and do the words "West Nile" mean anything to you?"
"We're both pretty covered up. We'll only be out here for a few minutes." She led him over to the chuppa standing in the middle of her yard. Some vines had grown on it, but it was weathering nicely. Lorelai stood under it, crossed her arms in front of her and gave him an expectant look.
Luke shrugged. "So? I built this for your wedding to Max."
"True." She paused. "But you also built it for me. Luke, this is the most beautiful present anyone ever gave me. All those hand carvings. Whenever I look at it, I realize how you must have poured your heart into it. Most beautiful art and music is created out of sublimation, you know."
Luke sighed and realized that he was not going to get out of this one, but he wasn't going to give in to Lorelai so easily. He joined her under the chuppa.
Paging Dr. Freud "So, what about you, Lorelai? Ever pick out paint samples and help repaint a certain dining establishment? Ever buy some guy an entire new wardrobe from Bloomingdales? And then proceed to dress and parade him in front of his customers at said dining establishment? I mean, it's not hand carving a goat but I'd call that sublimation, wouldn't you?"
Lorelai smirked at him. He's good "Well, well well. Luke, I guess you certainly CAN handle anything I throw at you."
Luke looked at her with a mixture of smugness, embarrassment and desire. "So, Lorelai, um now that our dirty little secret is out in the open - what do we do now?"
Lorelai smiled wickedly at Luke. "I want you to teach me how to kiss."
"But you already know."I get it, ok
Luke returned her smile and inched towards her. "OK, pretend I'm a guy.I mean him. Where do you put your hands?"
Lorelai shook her head. "Um, anywhere?"
"They go on his hips." She followed the directions, placing her hands on the waist of Luke's jeans.
"OK, he'll probably do this." Luke put his arms around Lorelai. "Now, close your eyes."
Lorelai giggled and closed her eyes. "How do you know all this?"
Luke chuckled. "I watch a lot of TV."
Luke leaned into kiss Lorelai and closed his eyes. Just as in the movie, the kiss started out tentatively. But as the seconds passed, their kisses grew more passionate. Tongues and hands started exploring. Lorelai ran her hands through his hair good thing he's not wearing his cap. Luke snuck his hand on the small of her back, which was bared between her shirt and low rise jeans. So that's why they call 'em dangerously low
Luke broke the kiss, breathless. "Wow. For someone who just learned to kiss, you're a fast learner."
Lorelai was also breathless and flushed. "I had a good teacher. I wonder what other lessons you have planned for me."
"I could take you inside and give you a private session. But is it ok if we take this slow, I mean we just had our first kiss."
Lorelai sighed. "I want that private session sometime, but you're right, we'll go slow."
"Lorelai, let's go back inside, I think the mosquitoes are biting."
Hand in hand, they left the chuppa and returned to the house. They sat back into the couch and Lorelai leaned against Luke's chest and put her arms around him. They just sat for a moment and held each other. Lorelai yawned.
"Tired?"
Lorelai looked at Luke. "A little, it's been a long week..and a long summer. You know, my summer started off so badly, with the whole Sherry's baby thing, and then Rory going away and leaving me all alone and you and I were still fighting. But I have to say that now things are looking up. I'm so happy you came over tonight and that things are, you know, good.
Luke nodded. "Me, too."
"Luke, I want to take this slow, too. Not because I'm not sure, but because I want to enjoy every moment of our courtship."
"Courtship, huh? That's not a word you hear every day. But if you want me to court you, I will. And you know that I'm not going anywhere."
"I know, you've said that so many times. I just never realized what you meant by it. Now I do."
Lorelai looked into Luke's eyes and what she saw there gave her goosebumps. He was looking at her with love and an affection that wasn't so guarded anymore. It was the most beautiful thing she had seen in a long time. She gave him a gentle kiss on his mouth.
"Luke, I'd love for you to stay longer but I'm beat."
"I know. I'll get going so you can get your beauty sleep."
Lorelai stood up and reached out a hand to help Luke off the couch. She walked him to her front door. They held each other for a moment and gave each other a good night kiss.
"So, I'll see you tomorrow at the diner?"
"Absolutely, you have the coffee and everything else I'm addicted to. Hey Luke, do you allow public displays of affection in the diner?"
"No cell phones, no PDAs, no exceptions."
Lorelai pouted at him. "Not even me?"
"Sorry, not during business hours."
"So you're saying after hours.."
"Good night, Lorelai"
"Good night, Luke."
Luke left Lorelai's house and got back into his truck. He was pretty sure that Lorelai showed him that movie on purpose, as some sort of seduction plan. But he was glad she did. He couldn't get the song from the movie out of his head and began to hum along.
"The minutes that we missed, idle lips that should've kissed, and now gently together, the first kiss lasts forever. She loves me, she loves me, oh and she loves me all the time..."
Lorelai shut the door, humming "She loves me." She felt content that her devious plan worked. But I didn't plan on kissing Luke under the chuppa, though, I wonder if that means we're married, now. Well, one day, maybe She couldn't wait to tell Rory all about her date with Luke.
The End
