I'm Interested.
Disclaimer: I own nothing pertaining to the Gilmore Girls.
(Except a crush on Jess and some pictures of him. Hehehe!)
"I can't believe this!" Lorelai said walking up to Luke not knowing what else to say.
"You used a dating service?" Luke asked.
Lorelai could tell he was trying not to laugh.
That made her mad.
"What about you? You're here. So you must have used one!" she said.
Luke looked startled. "Well, Jess made a crack about me not having a date in a while. What's your excuse?"
"Pop up add." She laughed relieving the tension a little.
"Should we go sit down?" he asked.
Now it was her turn to look startled. She hadn't expected him to want to go through with the date now that he knew it was her. "Sure!" she smiled.
The waiter seated them and gave them menus.
Half an hour later they were sitting in silence picking at the croutons in their salads.
"Having fun yet?" Lorelai asked smiling.
He wasn't sure how to answer that question so he sat there trying to think of the right answer. If he said yes and she wasn't really having fun she would stay just not to hurt his feelings. If he said no and she was having fun he would hurt her feelings. He never wanted to do that.
Lorelai interrupted his thoughts. "Do you want to hit the ice skating rink instead? It's snowing!" she said excitedly.
"Yeah, sure." He was glad he didn't have to answer the previous question.
He got the check for their food and they headed over to the ice rink next door.
Luke paid for their skate rentals and skate tickets.
Lorelai laced up her skates.
He snuck a peek at her skate laces before making an attempt at his own knotted up laces.
He watched her step onto the ice and skate in small circles while she waited.
He stepped on the ice and immediately fell on his butt!
"Luke! Are you okay?" she asked as she skated over to help him up.
"Yeah, I'm fine. The truth is, I don't know how to ice skate." He said studying a swirled pattern on the ice where Lorelai had been spinning just a few minutes before.
"Oh. Well, I can teach you if you want me to." She grinned.
"Okay." He said grinning back no longer embarrassed.
She started him out slow and after about twenty minutes with her holding his shoulder they could actually go five feet without falling.
Another thirty minutes passed and Lorelai didn't think he was quite ready to skate without a little help so she grabbed his hand.
He was so shocked that he lossed his balance and fell over bringing her down with him!
He had never expected her to hold his hand. Only couples did that!
They hit the ice with a thud.
Lorelai was still holding Luke's hand.
She started laughing.
That made him smile.
They left the rink and went inside to the little place where they had rented their skates and bought their tickets. It also sold soda and hotdogs.
Luke bought them each a drink and they sat down to talk.
Emily and Richard, Lorelai's parents were sitting on a bench watching people ice skate.
They had arrived a few minutes earlier.
Emily glanced toward the skate rental and noticed a couple sitting at a table inside and laughing.
She did a double take and saw that it was Lorelai and the "Iceman" on a date!
"Richard look!" she said in a shrill voice.
