Chapter 14: With the rest of the Garbage
Later that morning, Luke picked up a bag of garbage and opened the back door to the diner. He walked to the dumpster and tossed in the bag. When he turned back around he was startled to see a man standing there leaning against the building with his arms crossed over his chest, and a stern look on his face.
"Jez…" Luke said putting a hand to his chest. "I didn't know you were there." While he was getting his heart back under control, Luke recognized the man who had been with Lorelai earlier. "It's, Colin, right?"
"Don't give me that dumb act," Colin said in a tone that was not quite threatening.
"I don't know what you talking about."
"I saw the way you were looking at her."
"Her? Her who?"
"You know who," Colin glared.
"What, Lorelai? We're just friends. Really."
"So you admit it."
"Admit what?" Luke shrugged. "We're friends, but that's it."
"I'm not blind," Colin said pushing himself away from the building. "I could tell from the way you were looking at her."
"I still don't get it. How was I looking at her?"
"Its' so obvious. You want her," Colin sneered. "Go ahead, tell me you don't."
Instead of answering, Luke just stared at his shoes in silence
"I knew it," Colin taunted as he stepped closer. "You've probably wanted her for years, but I bet you've never done a thing about it, have you?" When Luke remained silent Colin continued, "And you know why you've never done anything? Because you know. You know that a woman like Lorelai is major league, while you're strictly bush league."
Colin was silent for a moment, while Luke continued to stare at the ground. "Well, she's with me now, how does that make you feel, fry boy?"
Luke looked up, anger smoldering in his eyes.
"That's what I thought." Colin taunted. He stared at Luke for a long moment. Finally, he said, "Well I'm glad we had this little talk. Just so we understand each other." He turned and started walking up the alley, calling over his shoulder, "Stay away from Lorelai."
Luke stood silently for a long moment. Eventually he turned and headed back into the diner, slamming the back door behind him.
