I finally got it changed so it will allow anonymous reviews. Thanks witchfigg731 and Luke-Lorelai-ash, and others for the reviews. Keep em comin!
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING NOTICE!!! I felt this story should be changed a little. It will NOT INVOLVE LORELAI AND ALEX'S TRIP TO THE CITY! There will be a trip to the city, but as you will see, the summary has been changed. I hope you are okay with this change, but I felt that the direction this was heading was not satisfactory to me. Please tell me what you think, because I could always go back and change it again. Thanks.
I'm sorry about the last chapter, with the run on stuff. I'm having problems with Word. I have a big project that's got to be done Saturday, so I will update after that. Thanks for the reviews. Chapter 4: Mom?
"Lorelai I could ask you the same thing." "Yeah, but Mom, you never just show up. Especially in Stars Hollow. So again, I ask, what are you doing here?" "Can't I visit my own daughter?" Lorelai was speechless for a moment. Then Rory came down the stairs. "Mom, you really did a nice job with the apartment. Grandma? What are you doing here?" "I just finished up with my DAR meeting and thought I would say hi to your mother. The cook told me she was here." Lorelai nodded and then Rory said something to Emily and they made a quick exit. "Luke, how did Rory do that?' "Do what?" "Get my mother to answer. I just tried to do that for the last 5 minutes." "How should I know?" "Because you know everything!" Lorelai smiled and twirled a lock of hair on one finger. Then she sat up. "Luke, can I have one of my special, old Luke's Diner menus? The ones with my name scribbled on?" "What the heck. Here." Luke looked like he was going to say more, but then someone came into the diner. It was Nicole. Lorelai tensed up a little but didn't say anything. "Hi Luke. And um, Lorelai right?" "Yeah. Luke, I want a Monte Cristo." Luke frowned knowing Lorelai was trying to piss Nicole off. "Oh sorry. We took that off. No one ever ordered it," Nicole chimed. Lorelai noticed she put an emphasis on the We. "Oh, but Luke let's me order from the old menus." Nicole frowned. Then she walked behind the counter, where only Lorelai ever dared to go, and kissed Luke on the lips lightly. Lorelai was green with envy on the inside. She's not even a good kisser! "Luke, there's a dinner at Chilton on Friday and you've really got to come. See Rory wrote about you for this essay that she was supposed to write about the most important parent figure in her life and she wrote about me last year, so she wrote about you this year and you have to come to the dinner since her essay won. You're supposed to walk up there with her and then she reads the essay to you. Oh and no flannel, my parents will be there." Nicole's face looked petrified for an instant, just like Lorelai planned. The story was true, but Lorelai had planned on telling Luke later.
"Okay. Should I pick you guys up?" "Sure. How about 5:30?" "That sounds good." "Luke, what about dinner?" "I'm really sorry, but I'm gonna have to break our date Nicole." Nicole looked hurt and then angry. "Fine, but I'm not really sure I want to be seeing you right now. You're always doing something with Lorelai or Rory. Doesn't Rory have a father? You don't have to play Daddy for her. And her nutso mother is dating someone. How can you just let her flirt with you like that? I'll call you when I decide," Nicole said, whispering the part about Lorelai. Lorelai heard though. She sat in stunned silence. How could Nicole say that? "Wait Nicole! First, I know I don't have to play Daddy for her, but I choose to. Lorelai doesn't flirt with me and I'm not always doing stuff with them. If you ever say anything to the extent of Lorelai being nuts, crazy, insane, you know what I'm talking about, I won't want to date you." "Being a little protective are we?" "No! I'm only protective of people I lo." Luke stopped cold. Lorelai looked shocked. Did he really just almost say he loved her? Did she love him? She was supposed to be seeing Alex. "People you love? Is that it Luke? Well forget what I said about calling, we're finished!" Nicole grabbed her stuff and stomped out of the dinner, slamming the door. "Ohmigosh Luke. I'm really really sorry. Did I just cause that? That's a stupid question. I know I did. Please Luke, don't be mad at me. Please, I don't like it when we fight. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I'm sorry. I," Luke cut Lorelai off. "Just shut up for a minute. No, I mean don't shut up, just give me a minute to think." "Please Luke, say you're not mad." "I'm not mad Lorelai. I , I want to," Luke stopped and pulled Lorelai close to him and kissed her hard. Outside the diner, there was a collective gasp, where nearly the entire town and Rory and Emily stood watching in awe. Lorelai fell back when he stopped. Then she leaned forward and kissed him, this time a long and passionate kiss. Thoughts ran through her head, but she ignored them. A kiss had never felt this right to her in her life. Nothing had ever felt this right to her. "I'm not mad at you Lorelai." Lorelai nodded. Then they kissed again, just as Jess ran down the stairs. "Uncle Luke, I need, what the hell?" "What the hell is right!" Lorelai broke away and glanced towards the door. She gasped. It was Alex. "Look Alex, I'm really sorry, but." "Don't give me that crap! What are you doing? Kissing this idiot with the flannel?" "I'm kissing someone in flannel, but I don't see any idiots here. Except for maybe you!" Lorelai screamed back. Alex didn't answer. Instead he stomped towards her, looking mad as a bull. Luke jumped in and punched him hard in the jaw. Alex staggered back and then ran forward, into Luke. Lorelai bit her lip as hot tears came to her eyes. "Stop it! Just stop it please! Go Alex. Just get out of here. If I'm not good enough then go!" Alex's eyes looked like they were shooting fire. He burst out the door and jumped in his car. Everyone watched as he gunned it and drove off with squealing tires. Inside the diner, Lorelai crumpled into a ball on the floor. The tears were now streaming down her cheeks. Everyone rushed in. "Lorelai!" "Mom! Are you okay?" "Lorelai talk to me." Voices jumped around the room. Luke made his way through and knelt down beside Lorelai. He hugged her tightly and she turned to him. "I'm sorry Luke. Really I am. I didn't mean for that to happen." "Lorelai, look at me." "It's okay. Don't tell me you're sorry. Now, do you want some coffee?" "Oh my god! Luke's offering me coffee guys," Lorelai shouted. Luke rolled his eyes. "Eat up, everything's on the house. I'm closed this Friday. Rory, I'll be at your thing." "Thanks Luke," Lorelai whispered. "No problem." "No, everything. Really, thanks." "You're welcome." "Luke, on Saturday, well I was wondering, if maybe, cause see I had these dinner reservations, um, would you like like to come?" Was Lorelai really asking him out? "What time?" "Uh, like 6:00." "Okay." "Good. It's a date." Lorelai smiled at him. Then she went over to a table where Rory, Emily, and Jess were sitting and began to talk animatedly. Luke watched in amazement. Finally after all these years, he was going to be with Lorelai. Maybe, she was the one.
