The Kissing Competition Part 8
"Stars racing to burn out, just stars racing to burn out a storm waiting to break like trees standing black against the sky, this was inevitable, inevitable." -Beth Orton, Paris Train
Lorelai walked past Luke's diner three times before she had enough courage to go inside, it was busy and most tables were occupied. She barely heard the greetings from people as she walked through his diner. She had spent all morning planning her words, choosing her best arguments so that there could be no confusion. No room for him to refuse her.she quickly blocked out the idea that he wouldn't accept her apology. She figured by talking to him here, he couldn't escape-he'd have customers to serve. When she reached the counter she couldn't see him but he was coming down the stairs, she could hear him, but as he reached downstairs and saw her at the counter he paused, his mouth twisting, Lorelai felt he stomach doing gymnastics on her tongue. Lorelai felt relieved when he nodded to her and then went back to polishing the counter as if everything was normal. At least he didn't just tell her to get lost. Lorelai would've sighed with relief if she'd had any air in her lungs.
Lorelai: I need to talk to you.
She looked into his face and she could see he'd been sleeping about the same amount as her, which was nil.
Luke: What do we have to say? I thought we'd talked enough. I don't think we need to rehash it now or here, do you?
He was visibly trying to keep his voice down but everyone in the place was silent, listening intently.
Lorelai: I've come here to say that I'm sorry I've been such a jerk.
Luke: A big jerk.
Lorelai: The biggest, the thing is Luke I felt all overwhelmed, you, my feelings just.well, overwhelmed me, I guess and instead of finding a way to tell you, I got terrified, ran and made you hate me.
Luke: I don't hate you-
Lorelai: Just let me finish. I want to be very clear, so there's no confusion. I love you. Uncontrollably, madly, passionately love you. I want you every minute of everyday, probably felt that for years, but most importantly, I respect you. I need you in my life in whatever way you want but I'd really like it if it involved a lot of kissing.
Luke: Lorelai, I can't-
Lorelai: Ok, well, I hope you know that I'm not ashamed of anything we do together or feel for each other. And I've got the perfect way to prove it to you.
Lorelai smiled at him and pulled out a sandwich sign, draping it over her body. It read on front "I LOVE LUKE DANES" and on back it read "and I don't care who knows about it". Lorelai turned around, still wearing the sign, and walked towards the street, smiling foolishly, bravely. Luke looked around as everyone in the diner got up to see her leaving walking down the street, waving like a queen. Luke started to smile, grinning like an idiot. He raced over pushing past people to go after her.
Luke: Lorelai! Lorelai, stop, you crazy woman! I need to say something.
Lorelai stooped in the middle of the street, turning to gaze at him. Luke walked over, stopped and simply dove at her, his mouth running madly, frantically across hers saying everything, telling her all she'd ever wanted to hear. They were both smiling as the kissing went on and on. He came up for air, breathing harsh, leaning his forehead to hers.
Luke: I love you, you crazy woman. Think you could find room in that sign for me too?
The whole town, gathered around them, went mad to finally see this moment, they cheered and clapped madly as Luke and Lorelai walked hand in hand back towards the diner.
And I'm done. That's all I've got for this story, hope you guys liked it, hope that ending satisfied and remember reviews are ALWAYS welcome. Cheers, La Perla
