Summary: When a new guy comes to Stars Hollow, he hits things off with Lorelai. They seem like the perfect couple, and Luke is happy for them. Ha! Yeah right.
Pairings: Luke/Lorelai Lane/Dave (undertones) Rory/Jess (a little bit) Lorelai/Charlie Luke/Nicole
Spoilers: None
Author's Note: It's two months and Lorelai and Rory are back from Europe. Rory spends her last days at Stars Hollow before going to Yale. Jess talks to Jimmy more now, Nicole and Luke are getting seriously serious while Lorelai and Charlie are too.

"We're here, back in Connecticut." Lorelai said when Rory and her stepped out of the plane. They made their way a little a newsstand to get coffee. They turned around and saw a man wearing a flannel shirt and a backwards baseball cap. Lorelai tapped him lightly on his shoulder and he smiled when he turned around. "Hey." Lorelai said
"How was Europe?" Luke asked
"It was cool." Rory said
"Every damn museum was the same." Lorelai commented
"The historic sites were great." Rory said
"So were the guys." Lorelai said dreamily.
"Glad to be back?" Luke asked
"Yeah, the coffee their was so bad!" Lorelai said
"There was only one decent Starbucks there." Rory added
"I just made fresh pie and there's plenty of coffee at the diner." Luke said
"I love you!" Lorelai said pulling him by his shirt in the direction of the exit.
* * *
When they got to Stars Hollow they saw that the town was decorating for yet another event. "Hey Luke what's going on?" Lorelai asked, curiously
"Taylor is holding some dance for the bridge again." Luke said
"Oh, cool." Rory said
"The whole town has been obsessing over this stupid thing."
"Well that's what this town does best, next to being very insane." Lorelai said
"They've been planning this stupid thing for months, talking about it for seven town meetings straight and Taylor posted posters from outside my window."
"Well then it must be big." Rory said
"Very big if he can make you turn red like that." Lorelai said poking Luke's cheek.
They reached the diner and Lorelai and Rory sat down on stools facing Luke who was behind the counter. "Coffee." Lorelai said
"And pie." Rory added
"Anything else?" Luke asked
"No, nothing for now at lease." Lorelai said
* * *
"I missed you." Charlie said to Lorelai when they were sitting on their porch later that night.
"I missed you too."
"So have to thought about it?"
"It, um no actually not yet. I mean with Rory leaving it's hard to think about anything else."
"Oh I'm sorry for asking you about it."
"It's okay."
Charlie kissed Lorelai softly on her lips; she put his arms around his neck. Lorelai thought that this moment was perfect, that they were in their own little world. They saw a light and Lorelai turned around to see Luke's truck parked in their driveway. "You forgot this." Luke said holding up a backpack.
"Oh yeah I must have forgotten it when you picked us up at the airport." Lorelai said
"Wait, you asked him to pick you and Rory from the airport?" Charlie said getting mad.
"Yeah, I mean I thought you were busy."
"Well I could have taken you there at lease."
"Luke took us too." Lorelai said quietly
"So Luke does everything that I can't do? He just has all the time in world for you since I don't?"
"I never said that."
"You meant it." Charlie said leaving. He got into his car and sped away. Lorelai at on the porch steps and started to cry. Luke came over and hugged her. "He's a jerk." He said
"I know but I should have asked."
"He should have understood."
"I know."
"So are you guys over?"
"I don't know."
"Oh."
"He asked me to move in him after Rory goes to college." Lorelai said
"Are you?"
"I don't know. I mean its Boston."
"Boston? That's um . . ." Luke started
"Far? I know that's why I don't know what to do." Lorelai finished
"What do think is best?"
"I'm not sure now. I mean Boston is away from here away from you, your coffee, Sookie, the Inn. I mean I had plans here and I wanted to actually go on with those plans."
"You know Boston isn't that far away."
"I know but it's far enough for me to just leave this all behind . . ." Lorelai was cut off by Luke kissing her. It was better than Max, Chris, Alex, or Charlie. She broke off and looked at Luke. "I'm sorry." He said quickly
"It's okay, that was just . . ." Lorelai started
"It was just?" Luke asked
"I mean it was . . . why did you do that?"
"Kiss you?"
"Yeah I mean it's not like you to spontaneously do that."
"I know it's confusing."
"What about Nicole?"
"I'm sorry for doing that, I have to leave." Luke said standing up to leave. Lorelai went in the house to think about Luke and Charlie.
* * *
"I'm an evil person." Lorelai said to Rory
"No you're not."
"See, I'm even making you lie!"
"So you kissed Luke, got into a fight with Charlie and you still want to move in with him?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I want to get away from all of this -- the commotion."
"You can't run away from Stars Hollow."
"I know."
"If you do move in with Charlie, have a miserable time in Boston realize that you love Luke, what are you going to do?"
"Change my name move to New York and become part of some Broadway show?"
"I doubt that."
"Well I don't know what I'm going to. I mean I cheated on Charlie."
"You didn't cheat on anyone."
"I kissed Luke! He kissed me. I kissed him back. It was great."
"The kiss?"
"Everything."
"But you're in a relationship, so is Luke."
"Yeah and his girlfriend hates me."
"Nicole does not hate you."
"Yeah, I mean she thinks all these crazy things about me liking Luke and she's going to form a cult and make you join it."
"I won't join any cult."
"I know, I need coffee will you be a doll and go to Luke's for me?"
"No."
"Rory."
"Mom."
"Please?"
"You're going to need to talk to him sometime."
"But just not now."
"I have some things to do."
"Fine."
* * *
"We're closed." Luke said when he heard someone come in.
"Really, cause the sign out there says open."
"Lorelai." Luke said turning around
"Can I get coffee?"
"Sure, just let me get you a cup."
Lorelai sat down at a table a looked at the saltshaker that was in front of her. She was a little uncomfortable being there, talking to him and waiting for her coffee. "I'm going to say yes." She said when Luke came back with her coffee
"To Charlie?" Luke questioned
"Yeah, I'm going to Boston."
Luke sat down across from her, he looked at her and sighed, 'She's with him now and I have someone else too.' He thought.
"Is it because I kissed you?" Luke asked
"What?"
"Are you saying yes because I kissed you? 'Cause before I did it you said that you didn't want to and that you had plans here."
"I know but I think the fact that you kissed me did play a part in me choosing but not a big part."
"Okay."
"I'm not running away." Lorelai said
"From who?" Luke asked
"From you."
"I never said that you . . ." Luke began
"'Cause I'm not, I mean I don't want to. I'm in a relationship where I'm happy and I don't want to risk it."
"I understand."
"I better go." Lorelai said looking through her purse for some money.
"It's okay, you don't have to pay for it."
"Okay see you." Lorelai said standing up to leave. Luke watched her go and he sighed.
* * *
"C'mon answer the damn phone." Lorelai said
"Hello?" Charlie said on the line.
"Hi, uh it's."
"Lorelai." Charlie said
"Yeah, listen about the whole fight before. It's my fault for not telling you who was going to take Rory and me to the airport."
"I'm the one who yelled at you and that guy that owns the diner."
"Well I thought about what you asked me before about Boston ."
"And?"
"Yes, I'll move in with you."
"Really?"
"Yeah it took a while for me to realize that I don't want to lose you."
"Let's see a movie."
"When?"
"Tomorrow?"
"Sure I'd love to."
"Great, I have to go so talk to you later?"
"Yeah." Lorelai said hanging up the phone. She went up to her room and looked outside the window and saw the chuppah that Luke had built for her for her wedding. 'I'm doing the right thing . right?' she thought.
* * *
A/N: Okay I know I said that I wouldn't make Luke spontaneously kiss Lorelai but I couldn't resist! I loved how the scene was perfect for it! Chapter 12 is in the process of being ready.
