"Ugh.. never say the word 'cake' again in front of me ever again," Lorelai said, rubbing her stomach. Lorelai had eaten a record 5 pieces.

"Cake," Luke said with a sly smile on his face.

"Ugh, cruel, cruel man...," Lorelai said and undid the top button of her jeans. "I can't.. breathe..."

Luke just stared at the undone button. "Uhhhh..."

"Men," Lorelai said and rolled her eyes. "All they ever think about is..."

Luke broke her off with a deep kiss. Lorelai wrapped her arms around his neck.

"It's a good thing we think so much alike," She whispered.

"Great minds tend to," Luke said and kissed her.

"Hi....," Rory said, her eyes on an uncomfortable looking Jess.

"Hey," Jess said gruffly.

"What are you doing here?" She asked and cocked her head.

"Uh.. is this a bad time?" He tried to look behind her into her dorm room.

"No, no," She said and opened the door wider so he could come in. "Come in."

"Thanks," He said and entered the room. Posters of the Bangles, Sam Phillips, and the great writers of the 20th Century mingled together on the walls. "Nice posters."

"Thanks," Rory said.

They sat down together on her bed. "So.. uh...," Jess started.

"Yeah?"

"How's life going?" Jess said looking at his hands.

"Um. Good, I guess," Rory said. 'What is he doing here?'

Jess took a deep breath. "Look, I can't stop thinking about you, I can't eat, I can't sleep.. I couldn't stay at school... I had to come here... Rory..,"

Rory looked at him with wide eyes.

"Rory, I need to know...," Jess said looking at her with an intense gaze.

Rory bit her lip.

"Do you love me?" Jess said rapidly.

It was the l-word again. She would have prefered any other l-word at that momemt.. lasagna, loafer.. loafer, what a funny word... lint, lumber, locquacious, levity, lugubrious....

Jess looked at her intently. "ROry?"

"Huh?" Rory stopped thinking of l-words and looked at him. 'Love.'

Jess bit his lip. 'You're an idiot, Mariano.. she doesn't love you....' He stood up. "Sorry, I uh.. have to go."

Rory's mind was screaming. 'Tell him, damnit, tell him what you think.'

Jess walked swiftly towards the door and put his hand on the knob. "Um. See you around."

He turned the knob and pulled open the door.

Rory's mind was racing. 'Think, think.. is this what you want? Did you want Jess all along?' She tried to think faster, tried to organize her feelings.. she threw her hands in the air.. damnit, this wasn't science or history or psychology .. this was.. love. This was Jess, who understood her so well. Jess, whom she had broken up with because of distance, not because of difference. Jess who read books just as fast as she did. Jess who was cute and smart.. lazy, but smart. She looked up at him leaving the room. 'Say something,' She thought.

"Wait!" Rory cried out.

He turned around slowly.

"I...." Rory hesitated. "I'd.. like us to.. you know, get back together..."

Jess smiled slowly. 'It's not love, but it's start,' He thought.

"Really?"

Rory smiled back. "Yes." She looked at Jess, standing here.

He walked over to her in three swift steps and wrapped her in his arms. "Rory," He said into her soft hair.

Rory leaned her head against his shoulder, telling herself that she would be good to him.

The Next Morning...

Luke watched as Lorelai slept, careful not to wake her. He rolled over on his side and leaned on his elbow.

Her eyes fluttered and then opened.

"Hi," He whispered. Lorelai smiled slightly.

"Good morning," He said and kissed her on the nose.

Lorelai muttered something.

He kissed her again, this time on the lips.

"MMmmmmm," She murmured.

"What?" Luke asked as he kissed the side of her neck.

"... coffee," Lorelai said, grinning.

Luke groaned.

Lorelai giggled.

"You know how to ruin a mood, Lorelai," He grunted and started to get out of bed.

"Aww, I'm just kidding," Lorelai said and pulled him back down. "Wait.. there was a mood?" She giggled.

Luke rolled his eyes. "I meant.."

"You meant...?"

"This is nice," He said smiling, sitting on the bed. Luke brushed a strand of hair off of Lorelai's face. "Waking up together."

Lorelai smiled at him. "We were waking up together for a month before."

"Yeah, but that was different. I would roll out of my sleeping bag, you would grumble about coffee..."

"Nothing changed, except that there's no more sleeping bag," Lorelai said.

Luke narrowed his eyes. "Once, again, you are a mood-ruiner."

Lorelai laughed. "Wow, for a second there, you sounded like me."

Luke smiled and kissed her. "Mood ruiner."

"Lorelai wannabe."

"Coffee junkie."

"Flannel covered...man."

Luke smiled. "I think you lost that round."

"Did not!"

"You said man."

"So?"

"Therefore you are disqualified," Luke said and crossed his arms.

"Uh... no," Lorelai said, frowning. "Who made these rules anyways?"

"The man who makes coffee," Luke said smiling.

"Ah, damn, you win," Lorelai said dejectedly. "Now can I have coffee?"

He got up from the bed and padded across the room. "It's brewing already."

"You're an angel!" Lorelai said getting out of bed. "I just loveeeee yo-...." She stopped.

Luke swallowed hard. "Uh.. let's just go downstairs." He left the room in a hurry.

'Stupid, stupid,' Lorelai thought hitting herself on the forehead. Sighing, she sat back down on the bed.

'I've always had trouble with the l-word,' She thought, biting her lip. 'Do I.. love him?' She knew he loved her, and honestly, that made it so much easier for her to like him back. But, actually saying the word scared her. Because if she said it, she made it official. They were no longer friends. They were Luke and Lorelai, the couple.

She was scared to take that next step. But it was strange that she was scared, because they were technically already a couple. In fact, they had been for weeks. 'What are you waiting for?'

Lorelai got back up from the bed and went downstairs.

***********************************

"Hi," Jess said, entering the room.

Rory rolled over and groaned. "What time is it?" She rubbed her eyes.

"Ten," Jess said and set a paper bag down.

"Where's Paris?"

"She went to class," Jess said and sat down on Paris's bed across from Rory's.

Rory grumbled and sat up slowly. 'I have so much work to do,' She thought and looked across the room at Jess.

"Hi," She said, smiling sleepily.

"Hi," He smiled back at her. "I got muffins and coffee."

"You're an angel," She said yawning and took the muffin from him. "Mmmm chocolate chip." She sleepily took a bite and slowly chewed.

Jess smiled looking at her. "Are you even awake?"

"Nope," Rory said swallowing and then yawning. "I'm multi-talented. I'm actually sleeping right now..."

Jess got up from the bed. "I should really start getting back to school."

Rory looked up at him. "Call me."

"I will," Jess said and got his jacket. "Thanks for letting me sleep on the floor."

"Anytime, Buster," Rory said and stretched. "I'll see you later."

Jess kissed her on the cheek and left.

Rory swallowed hard. 'Did I do the right thing?'

***********************************

Later that day, Lorelai and Luke were spending a quiet night at home.. or Errr... quiet in a Lorelai sort of way.

"UCk!" Lorelai yelled and threw popcorn at the screen.

Luke came back from the kitchen and sat down with a bowl in his hand. "What?"

"It's that man-ho, The Bachelor," She wrinkled her nose. "He's not even hot. I can't believe all those women stuck their tongues down his sleazy throat. Gross!"

Luke laughed at her.

"I mean, really.. look at him! He's not even hot in that Brad-Pitt-hot sort of way..." Lorelai cocked her head. "Wait, no one is hot in that Brad-Pitt-hot sort of way..."

"Except Brad Pitt," Luke said.

"Exactly!" Lorelai said and pointed a finger at him. "You are so good at this!"

Luke smiled. "Thanks.. I think."

"If he was hot in that Brad-Pitty sort of way, I would consider sticking my tongue...," Lorelai started.

"Uh huh," Luke said looking at her strangely.

".. out at .. him," She finished awkwardly. "Because I..."

Luke looked at her fidgeting.

"I'm in love with another man," She finished, smiling slightly. "But I wonder...if he loves me back." Luke looked at her with an open-mouthed expression. Then he reached over to kiss her.

"I think he loves you, too."

They pulled apart and looked at each other. 'So it's official,' Lorelai thought. 'And I'm loving it.' She had finally found the one.. no, they found each other years ago, it had just taken a decade for them to realize it. But hell, the cattle tick went to sleep for 17 years.. then it woke up, bit a dog's butt and died.

Lorelai smiled. "Surprised?"

"Maybe," Luke said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"But not as surprised as Michael Jackson when he realized that.. oh my god, he still has some fans."

Luke smiled. "I'll just pretend that I understood that."

Lorelai giggled and snuggled up to him. "I love you."

"I love you."

They sat together, holding each other and watching as the Bachelor started kissing Woman #23.

"What a man-ho," Lorelai said, with a look of distaste on her face.
