Disclaimer: I'm glad you liked the last chapter. I really enjoyed reading
your reviews. Anyway, as I promised at the end, I have much, much more
planned for Luke & Lorelai, the best thing to happen to primetime since
Doug & Carol on ER. As always, I do not own these characters, I just love
them like they were mine.
Discovering True Love
Chapter Five: What Now?
After their very public display of affection, Luke & Lorelai were bombarded with well-wishes from their friends. Everyone, it seemed, had an opinion on this union. The night passed quickly and Luke & Lorelai barely had time to have a word with each other all night. Now, as the last of their friends left the diner, Luke & Lorelai were left alone together for the first time in hours.
Lorelai yawned. "What time is it?" she asked, yanking at Luke's arm to get a look at his watch.
"Time to get yourself a watch," Luke joked, yanking back his arm. Just because he and Lorelai's relationship had changed, didn't mean they had to be all lovey-dovey, he thought.
Lorelai smiled. "Why should I get a watch, when you're here to tell me the time?" she teased him.
Luke rolled his eyes. "It's time for you to go home, Lorelai," he told her, "you're so tired, you're getting corny."
Lorelai yawned again. "I guess you're right," she told him, "I can barely keep my eyes open."
She wrapped her arms around his neck and nuzzled against his neck. Closing her eyes, she hummed, "I could stay here all night."
"Lorelai? Are you falling asleep?"
Lorelai continued to hum. She was on the verge of dreamland and didn't hear him. Luke stood holding her for a few minutes longer, not wanting to spoil the moment. Finally, he decided that she needed to get some sleep. Picking her up, he carried her upstairs to his apartment and laid her on his bed. As she stirred in her sleep, he covered her with a blanket. Taking a blanket for himself, Luke made himself comfortable on the chair by the bed. He watched her sleep for a few minutes before sleep overtook him. Closing his eyes, he soon fell into a deep sleep.
1 The Next Morning
Lorelai awoke first. Looking around, she realized that she was in Luke's apartment. Seeing him asleep on a nearby chair, she smiled. He had given her his only bed, she thought. She noticed that he had dropped his blanket on the floor. Standing up, she picked up the blanket and covered him again.
Luke stirred. Opening his eyes, he saw Lorelai leaning over him. God, she smelled good, he thought.
Lorelai smiled at him. "Good morning," she said, leaning down to kiss him on the cheek.
Luke smiled back. "Good morning to you," he said, pulling her down onto his lap.
They kissed luxuriously, enjoying their quiet moment together. Lorelai pulled away first. "I need to get home," she told him, starting to get up, "Rory should be waking up soon and she'll wonder where I am."
Luke helped her up. He stood up and walked over to the kitchen. "You hungry?" he asked, opening the refrigerator. "I can make us some eggs before you go."
"You're gonna cook for me?"
Looking over at her, he grinned. "I cook for you every day, Lorelai."
"Yeah, but that's downstairs in the diner," she said, "and I pay you. This is…."
"Weird?"
Lorelai looked at him. Weird was a good word, she decided, wondering where they were in their relationship. Where did they stand with each other? Walking over to the counter, Lorelai leaned on her elbows. "I guess we haven't really talked about what happened last night, huh?"
Luke closed the refrigerator. He leaned on the counter opposite Lorelai. Their faces were inches apart. "I'm glad you came over last night," he told her, quietly.
"Me, too," she said, grinning. Pausing, she added, "where do we go from here?"
"Why do we have to decide now?" Luke asked her, "why don't we just enjoy ourselves and just have fun? Don't we deserve it?"
Lorelai smiled at him. He was so darn cute, she thought. How could she resist him when he was looking at her the way he was? "Okay," she began, "for once, I'm not going to over-think myself out of this relationship. I'm just going to go with wherever it takes us."
(That's all for now. I know it's kind of short, I promise the next chapter will be longer. Please review. I look forward to reading them.)
