"Ready to go?" Lorelai called to Charlie.
"Yeah, just let me grab my wallet."
Lorelai got in the car and sighed, 'Okay so all you have to do is tell Luke that you've moved on and that the kiss was only a friendship thing that people do when they're going insane.'
She looked out the window and saw Charlie walking down the steps looking happy. "Sorry I took so long." He apologized, getting in the car.
"It's okay. But you know you don't have to be doing this - taking me to Stars Hollow. I mean you have work."
"I cleared it all just to be with you." Charlie said, leaning over and kissing Lorelai on the lips.
"Well then I'm a very lucky girl." Lorelai said.
"Yes you are." Charlie said agreeing.
"Well ready to go?" Lorelai asked, putting on her seatbelt.
"Yeah, let's go." Charlie said, as he was starting the car.
* * *
'Stars Hollow look's the same, wonder why after you're gone for a long period of time it still looks the same.' Lorelai looked out the window at Stars Hollow, when Charlie pulled up to Sookie's driveway she smiled. She got out of the car and rang the doorbell.
"Lorelai!"
"Hey hon."
They hugged and the three of them headed towards Sookie's house. "So tell me all about Boston."
"It's great, just great. Not like here though."
"I made tons of food if you're hungry." Sookie said, headed towards her kitchen.
"Listen I have to head back to Boston, since I have something to pick up, but I'll be back later okay?" Charlie said, getting up.
"Um, okay. Drive safe." Lorelai said, walking Charlie to the door. She watched him as he headed towards the car.
"Where's Charlie?" Sookie asked, returning with freshly baked cookies.
"He had work."
"Oh okay, so Miss Patty was talking about something that happened with you and Luke before you left."
"Oh, so she saw?"
"You and Luke kiss? Yep."
"Great, so does the whole town know?"
"Not really, since it only got to me then stopped."
"Really? How?"
"Well Miss Patty asked Luke to verify what happened, and asked if you two were together now, but then he didn't really have much to say on it."
Lorelai frowned, "Really? Cause part of the reason I'm here is to talk about the whole situation."
"He's been so busy lately, with Nicole."
"Oh well I kind of figured that, with the whole moving in thing."
"You're okay with that aren't you?"
"Yeah - well it's not really my call since you know I would care less."
"Sure you do."
"What's that supposed to mean?
"That's supposed to mean that you do really care."
"No I don't."
"Okay then, the guy from the repairs called and said that the Inn is totally a wreck and that the chances of it running up again are slim to none."
"Great, so what next?"
"Well just sign these papers and the Inn is officially for sale - for anyone that wants to take it."
"What do you mean?"
"Well it's in so bad condition that no one might want it, I mean it's not a pretty scene."
"I know, listen I have to go to Luke now, get this whole kissing thing over with."
"Good Luck."
* * *
Luke saw Lorelai walking down the street, with a huge smile on her face. 'Great no Charlie in sight.'
She reached the diner, sitting on one of the stools. "Hey stranger."
"Hey."
"It's been a while since I've been here."
"Everything's the same."
"Yeah I noticed that. Listen can we talk upstairs?"
"Sure."
* * *
"Okay, Sookie told me about the whole Miss Patty thing and sorry for putting you in a tough spot."
"It's okay I mean it wasn't your fault."
"I know but I still should have done something about it."
"It's okay, really. I mean the kiss didn't really mean anything."
"What do you mean?"
"Well nothing's going on between you and me so the kiss was just nothing."
"You didn't feel anything?"
"You're with Charlie and I'm with Nicole so I can't really feel anything."
"Fine, I don't even see why I came here." Lorelai yelled, leaving.
"You came here to talk about what happened."
"I know! And I come here and you don't want to talk."
"I never . . ." Luke started
"Listen what happened before was just something that happened okay? And even though you didn't feel anything that's fine since you're with Nicole but yelling at me isn't going to make this any easier." Lorelai interrupted.
"I didn't yell at you."
"Why did you say that it was nothing? I mean was it that bad?"
"No it wasn't bad."
"So it was good?" Lorelai said, smirking.
"Lorelai!" Luke yelled.
"See you're doing the yelling thing again."
"I have to go to work."
"We haven't even talked!"
"I try to be serious but you're always trying to be childish! I mean you want to talk and I talk but you don't want to listen!"
"Fine you know what I'll leave so you don't have to listen to me anymore!" Lorelai yelled back.
* * *
Lorelai walked through the streets of Stars Hollow, trying not to cry. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed Charlie's number.
"Hey."
"Everything okay?"
"Yeah, I just want to go now."
"Well I thought that we could go out to dinner."
"Okay well let me just go to Sookie's to get ready and I'll meet you there okay?"
"Sure that'll be great."
Lorelai hung up the phone and walked over to Sookie's.
"Really? You had a fight?" Sookie asked as Lorelai was taking things out of her bag.
"Yeah I mean I thought that things would be better between us but really they got worse. I mean we were on the verge on pulling each other's hair. Which would be not a pretty scene if it got to that."
"Well at lease you get to go on a date tonight."
"Yeah but fighting with your best friend is never fun."
* * *
"Are you sure you're okay?" Charlie asked Lorelai
"Yeah just a little . . . confused that's all nothing major."
"Okay cause you seem like you have a lot on my mind."
'Yeah I would say I have a lot on my mind too cause I just got in a fight with my best friend - who I kissed and now I'm with a guy that I'm not sure if I should stay with him cause I need to know where we're headed in our relationship.'
"Well listen let's go back to Stars Hollow cause I have a surprise for you." Charlie said.
They drove in the car and Lorelai glanced out the window and saw that the gazebo was decorated in pinkish tulle, and that the path leading up to it was lined with yellow daises.
"What's going on?" Lorelai asked when the car stopped
"C'mon and I'll tell you." Charlie said grabbing her hand and leading her to the gazebo. They walked and Lorelai looked around, 'what is going on? I mean what is Charlie doing?'
They stopped and Charlie took Lorelai's hands, "Listen I know that we haven't known each other for that long, and that we just started going out for months. But I really love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I know that moving to Boston was too much for you and that you had plans here but you went that meant the world to me - I guess what I'm trying to say is . . . Lorelai Gilmore, will you marry me?" Charlie said, bending down on one knee and showing her the ring that he got for her.
Lorelai gulped, and tears flowed through her cheeks, "Yes Charlie Stewart I will marry you."
He smiled and gave her a kiss on the lips. They parted and smiled at each other. 'I'm getting married.' Lorelai thought happily.
Meanwhile, as Luke was ready to apologize to Lorelai, he saw what had happened, the kiss, the proposal - everything. "I guess there's no point in saying sorry anymore." He whispered to himself. He walked slowly back to the diner - and he never looked back.
* * *
Okay, okay all of you probably hate me now for making Lorelai and Charlie engaged, and for making Luke see all of it and getting all heartbroken and stuff. Anyway please don't make any negative comments, and the 18th chapter is on it's way!
