Merry Thanksgiving-Chapter 9
( Hope you all had a good holiday! ________________________________________________________________________
Luke looked over at Lorelai as she lay there sleeping. She looked so peaceful; it was quite possible this was the first time he'd ever seen her not talking. He slept so good knowing that she was next to him all night.
*knock, knock*
Lorelai woke up to a loud knock on the door. She looked over at Luke, was still lying in bed looking at her. Most guys would creep her out if they were staring at her when she woke up, but with Luke it was okay, she kind of liked it.
Luke quickly looked away, "come in."
"Good Morning kids!" said Aunt Jane as she entered the room. How anyone could be chipper at 7 in the morning was beyond Lorelai's frame of reason.
"Did you kids have fun last night?" asked Aunt Jane.
"Yes we did, I met your daughter Jenny, she's great" said Lorelai.
"Oh good, she is such a dear, her and Mike live just down the lane a ways, they should be here later for dinner."
"Well you two come down when ever you are ready, I have breakfast and coffee waiting."
"Coffee?" said Lorelai perking up.
"Now you're speaking her language," laughed Luke, "We'll be down in a few minutes."
"Well no hurry." With that Jane left the room.
Luke quickly climbed out of bed."five more minutes mom," said Lorelai climbing back under the covers.
Luke just smiled, "come on Lorelai, there's so much to do around here today, we need to get up and going!"
Slowly Lorelai crawled out of bed and headed into the bathroom with her bag in tow. She emerged about 30 minutes later in better spirits.
"Okay I'm ready," she said, her curly hair bouncing on her shoulders. "Took you long enough" said Luke.
"Well allow me to quote the cinematic gem Clueless and say 'not all of us can be as naturally adorable as you.'" With that she opened the door and they headed down stairs.
Lorelai could smell the coffee and bacon as she headed down the stairs.
"Good morning Aunt Jane," said Luke. "How's Uncle Mitch doing today?"
"The nursing home called, he's having a rough day; I think I'll go visit him later" said Jane looking down at the floor.
"Well if you want some company let me know," said Luke rubbing his aunt's shoulder.
"Well thank you Luke, but you enjoy your day, it's gorgeous out."
For the first time Lorelai looked out the window and the sun gleaming off of the snow covered ground, it really did look like a Christmas card.
"Coffee?" asked Jane, snapping Lorelai out of her zone.
"Yes thank you," said Lorelai grabbing the mug. She took a sip, "this is great" she said, "Now I know where Luke learned to make great coffee.
"Well thank you dear, now sit down and enjoy some breakfast."
They all sat around the table and ate and talked. Lorelai looked at Luke and smiled, he smiled back. It was kind of fun spending time with his family, since his mom and dad had died, Luke never really talked about the rest of his family, and it was nice meeting them.
"So Lorelai," said Jane "have you seen the lake yet?"
"No, I haven't," she said looking Luke.
"Well Luke, you should take her down there, it's so beautiful this time of year."
"Of course, if she wants to go."
"I'd love to," Lorelai responded.
