The next morning Lorelai woke up in Luke's arms. She smiled at him
for a moment before carefully moving out of his arms, trying not to wake
him. However, she did not succeed.
"Good morning Lorelai." Luke said sitting up.
"Morning Luke." Lorelai said smiling brightly. "How did you sleep?"
" Ok I guess. What about you?" Luke asked nervously wondering what she would say.
" Great. Your bed is really comfortable. I think I might switch it with mine."
" I don't think that would be a good idea if you ever want to drink coffee again." Luke said in a mock stern voice.
"Yes sir!" Lorelai said giggling. Luke started to get up and Lorelai pushed him back. "You stay. Rest some you always look so tired and thanks to that snow storm you don't have to open up this morning."
" I know, but aren't you hungry? I was going to go make breakfast."
" Oh well in that case, up your butt. I am starving now that I think about it." Lorelai said pushing Luke out of the bed. As he landed on the floor, Lorelai giggled.
" Do you want breakfast or not?" Luke asked standing up
" Sorry. Hey can you bring me breakfast in bed? I've always wondered what that would be like." Lorelai asked, eyes sparkling at the thought.
" I'll tell you what, I'll let you help if you get up now." Luke said looking her in the eye.
"Oh really? Even though I'll probably make a mess, and ruin it?"
"Hey it's your breakfast, and any mess you make you'll clean so I really don't care." Luke said as he made her get up.
"Ok then come on!" Lorelai cried grabbing Luke's arm and dragging him out to the kitchen.
"Hey slow down. God you act like you're a little girl going to open presents on Christmas morning!" Luke said a smiling playing at the corner of his mouth.
" Well, I've never had someone tell me they wouldn't kick me out for trying to cook before so excuse me if I'm a little excited!" " No one ever tried to teach you?" Luke asked looking at Lorelai.
" Nope. My mom thinks that's what chiefs and servants are for, and I blew up a project in cooking class in school and was kicked out. It was a very large fire. I don't even know how it started." Lorelai said looking confused. Luke shook his head and laughed.
" You're crazy you know that right?" Luke said still laughing at her.
" That's not nice. I simply must of put the oven temperature a little too high!" Lorelai said indignantly.
" How high is too high?"
" About 200 degrees too high" Luke laughed again
" You need serious help, I hope you know."
" Yea, yea laugh all you want. I could cook if I wanted too. I'll prove it. Get out the ingredients and lets cook!"
About a half- hour later the small kitchen looked as though a tornado crashed through it. Lorelai was cleaning some while Luke put the few pancakes that came out correctly on the table.
" So I was wrong. Don't worry I'll clean my mess." Lorelai said as she scrubbed pancake batter of the microwave.
" You bet you will, that was part of the deal, remember?"
" Yep. You should feel lucky. I'm real good at cleaning. I used to have to do it for a living!"
" Yes and its so obvious by just looking around your living room and in your fridge." Luke said sarcastically
" Hey that's not nice. Just because you're a neat freak, doesn't mean I have to be one."
"Yea yea, just sit and eat, then you can finish cleaning."
A little while later, both had finished and the kitchen was beginning to look like a kitchen again.
" Well, I'll finish this up. You can go home and wait for Rory. I'm sure she'll be home soon. The roads should be clear by now."
"Are you sure, I can finish cleaning if you want." Lorelai said looking around the kitchen at the small mess that still existed.
"I'm sure. Go on home. If Rory gets home she'll wonder were you are and 'I was at Luke's all night' would definitely generate rumors." Luke said, as he handed Lorelai her shoes and purse.
" Ok ok I'm going." Lorelai put on her shoes and jacket. "Thanks for letting me stay Luke."
"Well I wasn't gonna make you walk home and freeze to death or slip and get hurt on ice. I mean, you kill yourself enough by all that artery clogging junk you consume. You don't need mother natures help."
"I'm so glad you care." Lorelai said sarcastically "Well I'll see you later"
"Yep. Bye Lorelai."
"Bye Luke"
Luke walked Lorelai downstairs to the door. As she left Jess came downstairs.
"Why did a tornado hit our kitchen. And why was Lorelai here all night? Is there something I should know? Do we have to have the talk?" Jess asked smirking at his Uncle's sudden discomfort.
"Get lost Jess." Luke said as he walked back upstairs, Jess trailing not far behind.
"Good morning Lorelai." Luke said sitting up.
"Morning Luke." Lorelai said smiling brightly. "How did you sleep?"
" Ok I guess. What about you?" Luke asked nervously wondering what she would say.
" Great. Your bed is really comfortable. I think I might switch it with mine."
