Happy Christmas-Chapter 2
Sequel to "Merry Thanksgiving"
SOOO super sorry for the delays on this story! I've been super busy, but here is a new chapter! ________________________________________________________________________
Lorelai left Sookie's house with an awkward smile on her face. It felt good to talk to someone about Luke, she'd been holding it in for 3 weeks now.
It was weird to her that every time she saw Luke, she could never bring it up with him, it made her nervous. He was probably just caught up in the moment, she reminded herself.
With that she turned and walked to Luke's for lunch. Rory was supposed to be home later this afternoon, and she'd been so excited she had forgotten to eat. Well, except for the croissant she'd had at Sookies, and the licorice she'd had earlier, and the mallomars.but other then that she had forgotten to eat!
She walked into a swamped Luke's and looked around for a table. She saw Luke at the counter arguing with Taylor about something or another, probably the lack of Christmas decoration that adorned Luke's Diner.
After several minutes of patient waiting, something that wasn't her strong suit, Lorelai walked up to the counter to grab coffee.
"Hey Lorelai," said Luke running past her, "help yourself."
"uhh.you do know that's like telling a kid in a candy store to crazy right?" said Lorelai staring at the coffee pot and donuts.
Luke just gave her a look and ran to fill someone's coffee. "Not in the mood to joke," noted Lorelai as she filled her mug up and grabbed two donuts from the case.
Just as she was about to walk away a man walked up to her, "excuse me miss, can I pay my bill."
"umm."said Lorelai looking at a very busy Luke. "sure, right here."
With that Lorelai jumped into helping Luke, she'd done it before so it really wasn't that big of a deal, but this time it felt a little weird.
After about one hour the place had cleared out and Lorelai and Luke collapsed at the counter. "Thanks." Said Luke looking Lorelai.
"Hey, no problem, as long as I earn free lunch for a year."
"I don't know about a year.." said Luke smiling at her.
"Umm.look Luke, I know this may not be the BEST time, but I've been wanting to talk to you about."
"Yeah I know," said Luke cutting her off, "me too."
"I guess, wow, this is hard," said Lorelai sitting at a table.
Luke walked over and sat next to her. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable," he said putting his hand on hers.
His hand felt so natural there, like that's where it was supposed to be. She looked down at it, mesmerized my how it just fit over hers like a glove.
"I think I was just caught up in the moment," finished Luke.
"See! That's what I told Sookie," said Lorelai.
"You told Sookie?" questioned Luke.
"I had to! I didn't know what to do, I was so confused, I didn't know how I felt.I mean, Luke you told me you loved me and I said 'I know'. I mean what kind of response is that?"
"Its okay" he said getting up and moving to the counter, "it was a mistake."
"Was it?" questioned Lorelai.
Luke looked at her. He knew it wasn't a mistake, but he couldn't tell her that, not after what he'd just found out. "yes." He replied looking down.
"But what if I said." Before she could finish her sentence the bell above the door clanged.
"Rory!" said Luke a flash of relief filling his face.
"Hey Luke!" said Rory. Lorelai turned around and smiled.
"Hey honey!" she said getting up and giving her a hug, you're home!"
"My mom, the best detective on the force," said Rory returning the hug.
"Coffee Luke," said Rory flashing him a smile, "I've been dieing for a cup for days."
"Don't they have coffee at Yale," said Luke pouring her cup. "Yes, but not Luke coffee," she said taking a big sip. She then smiled at her mom and then at Luke, it was good to be back with her family for the holidays. _______________________________________________________________________
So what did Luke just find out??? Stay tuned!...
