Luke: "What are you doing here?"
Lor: "I am suppose to meet Racheal here."
Muttering to himself. "I can't believe she did this."
"Did what?"
"What, oh nothing. I was suppose to meet her too."
"You don't think....no she couldn't....is she setting us up?"
"What! No, what makes you think that. So umm have a seat."
"Oh ok. Well I must say you look handsome. Whoever bought those clothes must have really good taste."
Luke blushes. He is wearing the outfit that she bought him a while back. Feeling very uncomfortable and wishing that he hadn't agreed to this at all.
"Yea well it's not really me but Racheal told me to wear something nice and this is all I had."
"See I told you it would come in handy. Plaid, being that it is a wonderful look for you, just isn't the right look for all occasions."
"So you don't like my look? You'd rather I'd be dressed up and look more like Max."
Lor was a little taken back by that last comment.
"No in fact you look better than Max. With those blue eyes there is no contest no matter what you're wearing."
"oh umm ok" did she really mean that?
Just then the waiter brings a letter and sets it on the table.
Lor: "Huh wow what's this?"
Luke: "umm don't know, why don't you let me read it first."
"What, and ruin all the fun? Wow I feel like I am at the Grammy's. Ladies and Gentlemen the winner is....." She stops to read the letter.
"Well what does it say?"
"It's from Racheal and she said she is sorry for not being here and that we should take this opportunity for ourselves. Opportunity for ourselves? What is that all about?"
"Uhh maybe we needed a break from Stars Hollow?"
Waiter "Here you go ma'am." He then pours her a glass of wine.
"Oh but we didn't order this."
"Not to worry it has already been paid for. It is our best chardonnay in the house, I'm sure you will find it to be excellent." Pours Luke a glass also.
"Uhh ok"
Lor: "So what should we toast to?"
Luke: "World peace?"
"Blah, to happiness"
"So Luke tell me all your secrets."
"I don't have any."
"Oh sure you do. Like how do you make such WONDERFUL coffee?"
"Can't tell you that. If I did you wouldn't come for my coffee anymore, you would just make it yourself."
"And go through all that trouble, nonsense it's easier to let you do it. Plus I like the feeling of being served. I feel like a queen everyday."
"Well milady I wouldn't want to ruin the mystery."
"ok you should know by know that I am not one for mystery I like to know things. So spill it coffee boy."
"Fresh coffee beans"
"huh?"
"I use fresh coffee beans. Every morning I ground up about a pound of coffee beans for the day. You get the freshest coffee that way."
"Huh. I never knew that. I thought the coffee beans were like candy. I ate 5 one time and then I ran a marathon."
"I bet. You can't tell anyone my secret ok."
"Can I tell Rory?"
"Ok but that is it."
"ok"
There was a long pause and then the waiter came to take their order.
A little while later....
Luke: "So how's your meal?"
Lor: "Great, very delicious. So umm can I ask you a question?"
"You just did."
"Very funny. Is Racheal back for you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well she said she was here on personal business and I was just wondering. Is that personal business you"
"Yes it is actually"
"Oh"
"You sound disappointed"
"Oh no just didn't expect you to take her back that's all."
"Take her back? You do realize that you are sounding a little jealous."
"I am not jealous I just am a caring friend who doesn't want to see another friend hurt again. There is no reason I should ever be jealous. I think you are reaching. For what I don't know but you are totally going off.."
"You are really babbling."
"Yea so what is up with Racheal just showing up?"
" I thought you two were buddies? What's with the defensive side?"
" I...am just worried about my friend."
" Sure that's what you keep saying. Racheal is here to help me out with something. We are not together, we're just friends."
"Wow where have I heard that before. So what is she helping you with."
"I can't tell you that."
"Sure you can you can tell me anything. Remember Luke I can't take mystery, gotta know everything. And I will find out if it's the last thing I do."
"Well....she's here to help me with umm well it's hard to explain."
"Well I can handle anything. You are talking to a person who had to tell her parents at the age of 16 that she was pregnant so nothing can be as awkward as that."
"You do have a point there. Well she thought...well the reason she left last time was because she thought I was in love with someone else."
Lorelai was taken back by this. I never knew about this. In love with someone else! Who could this be?
"Oh....umm may I ask who?"
"Well I'm not really comfortable with giving you that information."
"Do I know her? Wait, so Racheal is here to set you up with her? Wow cool ex."
"Yea she figured I hadn't made a move yet so she showed up to help me out. I must say it is odd having your ex set you up."
With that last comment Loralei finally realized who that person might be.
"Luke, umm this person that she set up well is it me by any chance?"
"Wha- where did you come up with that! Probably in that crazy mixed up head of yours. Did your mom drop you on your head by any chance."
"You think I'm gooorgeous. You want to daaaate me." Loralei starts do a little dance in her seat.
"Shut up you don't know what you are talking about."
"Oh Luke just admit it, it's me isn't it. I mean Racheal is here to set you up with someone. She invites me to dinner and lo and behold you are here instead. Plus she buys a very expensive wine ahead of time to a dinner she isn't going to be at. Dresses you up to look very nice and freshly shaved. This is all to impress me. I must give it to her she's good."
"Oh so you think you have it all figured out don't you." Luke gets mad and starts to get up to leave.
"Wo wo wo, sit back down. Why are you so mad. I mean sure I don't know exactly what to do next but at least lets talk this out. Ok so....you think I'm preeety."
"Lor! Geez you get a little piece of information and you go all crazy with it. This isn't a big deal."
"Your ex hooks you up with me and you think its not a big deal. I mean it isn't like she is setting you up on a blind date she must think there is some real potential here because the last time I talked to her she was so head over heals for you."
"Damn way to make me feel guilty."
"She loves you enough to want you to be happy."
"Yea she is a great person isn't she. So what happens now?"
"Well I don't know. Do you want to give this thing a shot? I mean I don't want to make things weird or awkward and I definitely don't want to lose our friendship."
"Well we could take things slowly and keep things between us."
"Yea we don't want to involve the whole town in this. That would be way too much pressure."
"So we are actually going to do this?"
"Looks that way."
"So how are we going to do this?"
"Oh well that's easy. First we will go back to Stars Hollow separately. And when we want to tell each other something or go on a date we could pass notes to each other when I go in for your fabulous coffee. It'll be like we are in high school. Of course I only went for a couple of years but you get the point."
"How can you come up with a plan like that off the top of your head. Couldn't we just call each other?"
"Well I suppose, not as fun though. But we have to have our meetings in Hartford or some other town that isn't Stars Hollow."
"You mean dates."
"Umm yea, well it may take a while for me to get use to that word and Luke being together."
"Understandable. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes actually I do. I mean you know everything about me. My likes my dislikes and especially my quirks. Umm actually are you sure you want to do this?"
"YES! I mean I'm sure I can handle your eccentricities."
"You really do have a crush on me don't you?"
"Umm yea whatever."
"Hm are you ready to go?"
"Already? We just started the date."
"Yes but unfortunately we started the actually date way after the friends having dinner together and I have to go to work in the morning."
"Yea I have to open the diner early. Let me go get your coat."
Loralei got up and waited for Luke in the lobby. She was feeling this awesome buzz from the entire evening. I can't believe this! Am I doing the right thing? What if we breakup? What if this ruins our friendship? I can't think like that, this has been the best date I have had in like forever.
Luke was waiting for the guy to get the coats overjoyed with the events of the past hour. I can't believe this is actually happening. I totally have to give it to Racheal for stetting this up. She really knew what she was doing. Lor looks so beautiful god she could be an angel. How long does it take to grab a couple of coats. What a stupid job to have.
Lor: "Hey there, I missed you."
Luke: "Same here. I don't want the night to end though."
"Yea well loverboy. I don't either but we gotta work, it's the way of life."
"Huh loverboy?"
"well lets not get too caught up."
"So is this one of those dates where we kiss at the end of the night?"
"Maybe"
Just then Luke slowly brings her lips to his and kisses a soft passionate kiss. One she will remember for quite sometime.
"See you later, Lor"
"Umm yea see you tomorrow."
Lor: "I am suppose to meet Racheal here."
Muttering to himself. "I can't believe she did this."
"Did what?"
"What, oh nothing. I was suppose to meet her too."
"You don't think....no she couldn't....is she setting us up?"
