10:39 PM, Monday
Outside of Luke's Diner Lorelai's lips were soft and she smelled like coffee and her hair smelled like apple shampoo. Luke was just overwhelmed by her scent and touch. He could hardly believe this was really happening. 'Don't wake up,' Luke told himself. He was kissing Lorelai Gilmore and she was making little breathy moaning sounds. His hands were running up and down the side of her body, touching her hair and the small of her back. His right hand was on the back of her head, tangled in her wet hair. His left found its way to her hand, and entwined with hers. If he was dreaming... well, he hoped he would never wake up. He willed himself not to wake up. She suddenly whimpered and pulled away. 'Damn it,' He thought as he pulled away, breathing heavily. "Oh my God," She said, her eyes open wide. "I.." "I'm sorry," Luke said at the same time. "I didn't mean.." "I.. I can't be here right now," Lorelai said and started to back away from him. "I.." Luke tried to keep his face neutral as she slowly backed away from him. Lorelai looked at him with a 'deer-in-the-headlights' type of look as she started to understand what had just happened. She had kissed Luke, not as friend, but as something much more. And she had felt something. She felt a tinge, she felt an ache, and she was scared by what it all meant. So she did what she usually did when she got scared. She ran. "Lorelai!" He called after her. But she didn't hear him and his voice was lost in the sound of the pounding rain. Luke was about to run after her when he heard Caesar yelling at him from the doorway. "Luke! I need your help!" Luke took one last look into the direction Lorelai had run and then turned back to the diner. **************************** 10:41 PM, Monday
Gilmore House A dripping Lorelai ran onto the porch of her house. She looked for the hidden key and opened the front door. Lorelai shrugged off her soaked coat and placed it to dry on the porch. Once inside the house, she meticulously stripped off the rest of her clothes and hung them in the kitchen. Shivering, she ran to the bathroom. Ten minutes later, she was in the showering, warming up under the blissful hot water. Steam swirled around her and she finally felt herself calming down. Then she remembered. Lorelai had kissed Luke. 'What have I done?' She thought nervously. Lorelai kissed Luke. Luke kissed Lorelai. 'Calm down, calm down,' She told herself. 'It was the rain.. Must have been the rain. The rain pouring everywhere, clogging up my ears, the arteries to my brain..' Lorelai shook her head. 'No, no, it wasn't the rain. What was it??' **************************** 10:49 PM, Monday
Gilmore House 'Okay, what I need to do is go back to New York,' Lorelai thought as she stepped out of the shower. 'I still have a week left on the job, so I need to settle that..' She frowned. She still wasn't sure if she wanted to keep going with the New York job or come back to Star's Hollow. Lorelai brushed the thought out of her mind. She could think about that later. 'And Craig,' She thought. Lorelai got a hollow feeling in her stomach. She closed her eyes but the tears still managed to squeeze out. Craig hurt her. God, she was pissed at him. She didn't want to speak with him, let alone talk to him. But she had to. 'I have to sit down with him and have a civil talk,' She thought and sighed deeply. 'He better have a good explanation.' Rubbing her head with a towel, Lorelai walked into her room and flung open the closet. 'Nice sensible Rory,' She thought, smiling slightly. Her level-headed daughter had managed to convince her mom to leave some of the closet at home, so she had clothes to wear. 'Speaking of Rory,' Lorelai thought as she rummaged through the closet. 'Why didn't I just go to her?' She bit her lip and stopped moving as she thought about this. 'Why did I run to Luke?' **************************** 11:19 PM, Monday
Luke's Diner "Are you done back there?" Luke called out to Caesar as he hastily wiped down the front counter. He really needed to talk to Lorelai. "Yeah, it's clean," Caesar called back. "Great, I'm going out, just lock the door, okay? Or actually, ask Jess to do it when he comes in from Walmart," Luke called over his shoulder. "Yeah, sure." Luke hurriedly threw on his jacket and ran outside into the rain. **************************** 11:21 PM, Monday
Star's Hollow Bus Station "Do you have any buses to New York?" Lorelai asked the clerk. "We have one leaving in about 2 minutes," The clerk replied, bored. "I'd like to buy a ticket," Lorelai said, taking her wallet out her bag. "Okay," the clerk answered and slowly moved over to the computer. "One way?" Lorelai thought for a second. "Yeah," She replied and pulled out her credit card. "One way." **************************** 11:22 PM, Monday
Gilmore House Luke jumped up onto the porch, relieved to have a roof over his head. The rain seemed to falling harder than before. "Lorelai?" He called out. The house was dark and it looked like no one was inside. There was a note stuck on the door. Luke sighed, knowing that she had been there but already left, and then ripped the note off the door. Luke, Hi. Sorry for leaving this way, but I need time to think. I'll call you. Lorelai Luke sighed deeply and stuffed the note in his pocket. **************************** 11:35 PM, Monday
Somewhere in Connecticut Lorelai leaned her head on the window, feeling the vibrations of the engine against her forehead. The shaking caused her pain, but right now, she felt like she should be punished. She had left Luke hanging. Plus, she had kissed another man. Sure, Craig had cheated on her, but that didn't mean she could turn around and make out with his high school best friend. Damn, she was just bad as Craig. Why had she kissed him back? No, why had she enjoyed it? She admitted it. The kiss made her feel. It made her feel happy and sad at the same time. Pain and Love. Anger and Happiness. Confusion and clarity. It was like nothing she had ever felt before. It had just felt so damn right. **************************** 1:45 AM, Tuesday
Lorelai's and Rory's apartment "Lorelai!" Craig stood up from the couch as she walked into the apartment. "Go away," Lorelai said angrily. "I'm not talking to you." "I don't understand..," Craig said, a look of confusion on his face. "I don't get why you're mad at me." "What?" Lorelai turned around to face him. "You don't understand why I'm mad at you? Perhaps, it's the fact that I came to your apartment to see you, but instead, saw another woman standing at the stove, slaving over some meal she made for you so afterwards, she.." "She's my sister." "What?" Lorelai said, her jaw dropping. "Your sister?" She squeaked. "Jane," Craig said smiling. "Jane's my sister. She told me how you reacted.. Oh, it all makes sense now," He said slapping himself on the forehead. "You thought I was having an affair!" He laughed. "Aw, Lorelai." Craig hugged her. "I was so worried about you. And by the way, the DAR woman broke up with last night." Lorelai managed a small, forced giggle. She stood there, shell-shocked. She was the one who had cheated on Craig. She had kissed Luke. **************************** 2:03 AM, Tuesday
Lorelai's and Rory's apartment "Mom!" Rory groaned. "I was sooo worried." Craig had gone home and Lorelai and Rory were unwinding on the couch over ice cream. Lorelai nodded, tired from the day's events. "I'm sorry, I should have called." "What happened?" "I don't know.. just.. Maybe it's the stress or something. I went to Craig's apartment and there was this other girl there," Lorelai said and cracked open a gallon of Mint Chocolate chip. "I just thought, 'OMG, he's cheating on me.'" Rory smiled slightly. "I don't think Craig would do that." "No, he wouldn't." Lorelai cleanly licked off her spoon. "I see that now." "I think he really likes you a lot," Rory replied and took the carton from her mom. "Yeah, he does," Lorelai thought wistfully. 'I kissed Luke. Oh my gosh.' "What's wrong?" Rory asked, concerned. Lorelai had been staring into space. "Huh?" Lorelai looked into her daughter's eyes. "Something happened, didn't it? When you went back home..," Rory said and put the ice cream down on the coffee table. "Luke?" 'Devil-child,' Lorelai thought as Rory pinpointed it right away. "Um.. No," Lorelai lied, trying to keep her face neutral. "Did you apologize?" Rory asked. "Yes, actually I did apologize." Lorelai nodded. "Good," Rory said and got up from the couch. She stretched and yawned. "I have to go to sleep. Busy morning tomorrow at the Times." "Okay," Lorelai replied. "I think I'm just gonna schmooze here for a little while." "Okay," Rory said and kissed her mom on the cheek. "GOod night." Lorelai didn't hear her. She was staring out into the New York City skyline, wondering what she was going to do about Luke. **************************** 8:04 AM, Friday
Hilton Hotel "Lorelai," Mr. Hilton called out to her as she walked into the hotel. "Can I see you for a minute?" "Sure," Lorelai replied, taking a sip of her coffee. 'God, just as bad as the others.' She grimaced and tossed the cup in a garbage can. "What's up?" Mr. Hilton smiled. "Can we speak somewhere more private?" "Yeah, um.. I think my office is empty. Maryanne's coming in a little late today." "Okay, good." They walked into the darkened office together. Lorelai flicked on the lights and put her stuff down on the table. "So what can I help you with?" "Well," Mr. Hilton started. "Today is the last day of the two months." "Oh," Lorelai replied. "It is." "Lorelai, I have enjoyed having you here immensely. I've had no major complaints, the place is looking lovely, and the customers are just overflowing with comments about you." Mr. Hilton sighed. "I really don't want to see you go." "I'll stay." "Really?" Mr. Hilton perked up. "You're staying?" "Uh," Lorelai was shocked with herself. Did she just say that she was going to stay? "Um.. Yeah." "Oh, thank god!" Mr. Hilton smiled brightly. "I'm so glad, Lorelai. You'll be here for the DAR convention also." **************************** 8:45 PM, Friday
Lorelai and Rory's apartment "You're staying???" Lorelai nodded slowly. "Wow." Rory shook her head. "Wow. You're leaving Star's Hollow for real." "I guess so," Lorelai replied slowly. "Are you going to sell the house?" Rory asked wistfully. "I mean, our first house.." "Yeah, I know," Lorelai replied, a serious look on her face. "Why the sudden decision to stay?" "I don't know." Lorelai got up from the couch and started to pace back and forth. "I mean, when I walked into the office this morning, I wasn't sure what I was going to do. And then Mr. Hilton came and asked and suddenly I'm all like 'Sure, I'd love to stay'. But I don't know why." She shook her head. "It just came out." Rory looked thoughtful. "Something happened that night." "What night?" Lorelai asked nonchalantly. She knew exactly what night Rory was talking about. "That night you went back to Star's Hollow," Rory said slowly, not wanting to scare or upset her mom. "What happened?" Lorelai sighed. "Maybe I just want a change of environment." She shrugged. "I like New York." "Mom," Rory said and stood up to face Lorelai. "You don't like New York. You said so yourself yesterday, as you downed a cup of coffee from the corner deli. I believe your exact words were: 'Two gazillion people but no decent coffee? No wonder cab drivers all have major road rage!' Then you angrily threw the cup across the sidewalk and hit poor Mr. Larabee on the forehead." "Oh, yes," Lorelai replied "How is he, by the way?" Rory ignored her question. "What happened?" "Nothing," Lorelai muttered. "Mommmm!" "We kissed." Rory's eyes widened. "Luke?" "No, Taylor," Lorelai replied. "Oh, and Kirk too." "Wow." "Yeah, wow." "Luke, Taylor, and Kirk in one night. Must have been exciting for you." "Unbelievable," Lorelai said and sat down on the couch. 'Most unbelievably wonderful kiss ever,' She thought sadly thinking back. Rory looked at Lorelai with a serious look on her face. "What?" Lorelai asked. "Don't run away from him," Rory said. Then she walked out of the room, leaving Lorelai alone to think. **************************** And the angst-fest continues.. Damn, Moswen, you're good.. haha good guess, that was what i had planned.. x) I just gotta finish up some details for ch. 12, it'll be up mucho soon! hehe Thanks again for reading! btw, Dawnmeister, whatever happened to "Rock and a Hard place"?
