Luke and Lorelai found Rory and Jess sleeping on the couch in the Gilmore livingroom. "Should we wake them?" was the first thing Luke asked. Lorelai was undecided, "I don't know it's been a long night. Maybe we should wait until morning to have this discussion." Luke just nodded because he had no idea what he was doing anyway, all decisions concerning this situation were up to Lorelai.
"Luke, you want a beer?"
"Yeah, one beer then I'm going to head home." Luke replied and Lorelai looked at him like he had three heads.
"Oh no, you are not leaving me here alone with those two. It's not happening mister."
"OK Lor, What do you propose we do then stay up all night, drinking beer and watching them?" Luke asked sarcastically.
"Sure if that is what you want to do, Luke. But what I was proposing was, we'll have a couple beers now to calm the nerves. Then I'll get some pillows and blankets together and we can crash in the livingroom on the floor." Lorelai started walking towards the kitchen and Luke followed her watching her way her hips moved with each step she took.
When they entered the kitchen, Lorelai pulled two beers out of the refrigerator and the pair sat down at the table. Lorelai told Luke about the parting comment Dean had made about everyone loving her. Instantly Luke knew what Dean had wanted to say, he was almost sad over the fact that Lorelai was clueless about it. He had wanted so bad to come clean about his feelings for her for such a long time. Luke sat there thinking about his feelings silently for several moments, taking the ocassional swig of his beer. Lorelai was venting on about the two kids on the couch and Dean.
After a few minutes, Luke realized that Lorelai was looking at him funny so he figured he better involve himself in the conversation. No one could have predicted what happened next, Luke said the first thing that popped in his head without thinking about it.
"Lorelai, Have you ever thought about us getting together?" Stunned by the question, Lorelai couldn't speak. So Luke continued still without thinking. "I have alot actually. I think we would be great together. You are the only person I can talk to, and personally I think we balance each other out pretty nicely. You are my best friend and I think if we got involved in a romantic relationship then it would only strengthen our friendship."
Lorelai was still sitting there in a stunned silence, taking sips from an empty beer bottle. "How about another beer?" Luke asked and Lorelai nodded. Luke stood and quickly fetched two more beers and then returned to his seat. He held out her beer to her and she silently took it. Lorelai sat the bottle down in front of her and folded her hands on the table. Luke reached across the table and laid his hands on top of hers. Silently they sat there, just staring at each other for what seemed like an eternity, but in reality was only a few minutes.
Lorelai was the first to break the silence but not in the way Luke had hoped she would. "Hey I am going to go get changed, and get those balnkets and stuff like I said I would. Umm... I'll be back in a few."
Before Lorelai had a chance to stand up. Luke informed her of what Dean had wanted to say to her. "Everyone loves you Dean was right but he meant to say 'Luke loves you' and believe me Lor. I do more then everyone put together.
Lorelai stood rather quickly giving herself a head rush but she fought the urge to sit back down. She walked out the room, into the livingroom and up the stairs. Once upstairs Lorelai did as she told Luke she would do. She changed into pajamas and gathered some pillows and blankets. She needed to one thing she didn't tell him though. Lorelai picked up the telephone on her nightstand next to her pink piggy alarm clock and dialed Sookie's number.
"Hello, this better be good." Said a sleepy Sookie as she answered the phone.
"Sook it's me." Lorelai said ignoring the fact that she woke Sookie up.
"Lor, what's wrong? Is Rory OK?"
"Everything is fine. I have a problem with Luke."
"Oh my God. Is Luke hurt? What happened?" Sookie was extremely unsure as to where this conversation was going and if no one was hurt all she wanted to do was return to her dreams.
"No Sook, he's not hurt. I think Luke is love with me."
"Duh." Was the only reply Sookie could think of. And as fast as she could Lorelai told Sookie about the confession Luke had made only a couple minutes ago in the kitchen. "Lor, I am so happy. What are you going to do?" Sookie knew that Lorelai did not have an answer to that question so she decided to tell what to do. "Now you go get your butt, back down them steps and talk to him. I'll talk to you tomorrow." Then Sookie hung up the phone and Lorelai sat staring at the phone in her hand with the dull hum of the dial tone, ringing in her ears.
As Lorelai was walking down the steps, she noticed that Luke had already moved the coffee table out of the way. He was sitting in a chair waiting for her, when he saw her descending the stairs, he got up and strolled over to stand only a few inches away from her. "Lor, I am sorry for freaking you out. I have been holding that in for a long time. This is what I had imagined would accompany that speech." He took a step forward and wrapped his arms around her pulled her into a tight embrace and softly kissed her gloss covered lips.
She did kiss him back and Luke thought that was a good thing. "Lor, how about we lay out those blankets and get some sleep." Lorelai nodded and the pair made a makeshift bed on the livingroom floor. They laid about a foot apart and fell asleep without uttering another word.
