Merry Thanksgiving-Chapter 12
Thanks for the reviews! Hope you all had a good holiday, sorry for the short chapters( ________________________________________________________________________
Jolene shot Lorelai the "evil eyes" look as they begin to eat dinner.
Luke just looked at her in shock; he knew she had just said those things to make Jolene jealous, but they sounded so sincere coming from her.
"Well that was lovely Lorelai" said Jane with a smile, "and we are all so happy that Luke has brought you into our lives." With that she raised her glass and said "Happy Thanksgiving everyone."
After what seemed like hours of eating, everyone pushed back from the table. "I'm so full" said Lorelai, looking at her cleaned plate.
"Me too," said Luke, standing up and beginning to clear the table.
"Let me help you Luke," said Jolene following him into the kitchen with her plate.
Jenny looked at Lorelai and rolled her eyes, "don't worry, she'll never steal him from you, he loves you so much, I can tell."
Lorelai smiled at Jenny. "So what happened with them anyway?" asked Lorelai, wanting the gossip.
"Every summer, they had a little fling, and then they'd visit each other throughout the years," said Mike. "Then Jolene, was just Jolene, she always cheated on him, and he always went back to her."
"But he's much smarter now," said Jenny smiling at Lorelai. "I'm so glad he's found such a nice girl."
"Well I'm the lucky one," said Lorelai as Luke walked back into the room.
"What are you guys talking about?" asked Luke
They all just smiled and got up and started clearing the table.
After the table was cleared, they all went into the living room and sat down.
"Anyone want some pie?" asked Aunt Jane.
She was met by a chorus of groans. "I would love some," said Lorelai standing up.
"How do you have room for pie?" Jenny asked Lorelai.
"This girl has an iron stomach, you should see her and her daughter put food away," Said Luke looking at Lorelai.
"This is true, we have never met a meal we didn't like," said Lorelai.
"Well I'm sure Luke keeps you well fed," piped in Jolene, "he is such a good cook."
"Oh yes, we eat at Luke's at least once a day, sometimes once an hour."
"And much to my demise she never orders anything that is at all healthy or good for her OR Rory."
"Hey, those who eat healthy will feel dumb when they are lying the hospital dying of nothing," replied Lorelai throwing a throw pillow at Luke.
"Well that's very surprising, Luke you eat so well if I recall, how do you two manage it at meals?" said Jolene snidely.
"Simple," said Lorelai, "whatever Luke cooks I just cover in bacon or chocolate sauce, depending on my mood."
Everyone laughed at her comment, and Lorelai raised her eyebrows at Jolene, who looked away.
"Well, hey I need to get going, I promised Noah I'd meet him for dessert," said Jolene standing up, "Luke will you walk me out?"
Luke looked over at Lorelai, and she just smiled "yeah of course."
Luke stood up and followed Jolene out the door.
As they got to Luke's car Jolene took Luke's hand, "Look, I just wanted to tell you that I broke up with Noah."
"Jolene." said Luke stopping her. But she kept going.
"I did it because I still love you Luke, I've always loved you, I mean we have such a history."
Luke let go of Jolene's hand. "That's just what it is Jolene, its history. I spent so much time loving you, and wanting you to love me, but I've moved on."
"She's not right for you Luke," said Jolene, "she can't possibly love you as much as I do."
"Maybe not," said Luke, "but I love her more then I've ever loved anyone, and I'm not willing to risk losing that because you've decided that for the next week you're going to love me."
"That's not fair Luke," pleaded Jolene, "I mean it this time, I wan to make things work."
"I'm sorry, I have to go." With that Luke left Jolene standing at her car. He did love Lorelai, he thought just as a friend, but maybe as more, he needed to figure it out that was for sure.
