*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The Next MorningLuke opened the door of the Diner and walked to the mailbox. He opened it and sifted through the mail. Bills, Bills, Bills. He came across a postcard with a picture of the beach on it. It said "Having fun in the sun!" across the top. "What the hell is this?" He asked out-loud and turned it over.
Hey Uncle Luke,
I told you I would send you one. Your fruit-basket is on its way.
Jess
Luke smiled and did not notice Lorelai walk up from around the corner.
"Whatcha smiling at?" She asked grabbing the postcard from the surprised Luke.
"Lorelai, give it back," He said sternly as he tried to grab it from her.
"Nope," She said waving it around.
"Lorelai! I mean it. Give it back NOW!"
Before Luke could stop her, Lorelai ran into the diner, up to his apartment and into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.
Luke started pounding on the bathroom door. "Lorelai! Open up this door!"
Lorelai read the postcard and felt her face grow hot. He's had contact with Jess? Is that what he was hiding?
Lorelai threw the door open. Luke jumped back in surprise.
"Since when have you had contact with Jess?" She asked furiously.
"Since yesterday," Luke answered.
"Well, what'd he have to say? Did he give you any explanation for why he left?"
"No."
"So your just gonna forgive and forget?" She asked incredulously.
"That's none of your business Lorelai." He answered.
"So why didn't you tell me? Is that what you big secret was?" She yelled.
"I don't have to tell you everything I do!" He yelled getting angry.
"Go to hell!" She yelled and threw the postcard in his face. She stormed out of the apartment, down the stairs, and out of the diner. She ran home and collapsed on the couch. Minutes later her phone began to ring. "Damn-it!" She yelled and frantically began searching for it. After a few rings the recorder came on. It was Lorelai doing an impression of Emily. "Hello, this is the Gilmore Residence. Please leave your name, number, and a brief message and Maggie…or is it Janet…oh well…the maid will get back to you as soon as she can. Beep."
Rory laughed into the phone "Mom. Grandma will get mad if she hears that….." Lorelai finally found the phone under a couch cushion.
"Hey hun."
"You'd better change that," Rory said sternly.
"Okay…but doesn't it sound just like her?" Lorelai asked.
Rory giggled, "Yeah……So did you get the dirt on Luke?"
"Guess what?" Lorelai asked, changing the subject.
"What?" Rory asked.
"I bought a new dress!" Lorelai exclaimed, "It's black and it's slinky and I got black pumps to match!"
"That's nice…..Mom what about Luke?"
"What about him?" Lorelai asked pretending to be confused.
"Did you find out his secret?"
"Oh…..uh……..no." Lorelai lied.
"Mom," Rory said sternly, "You're lying."
"No, I'm not," Lorelai said lying again.
"I can tell when you're lying."
"Okay fine. I found out his secret," Lorelai said sighing.
"And..?" Rory asked.
Lorelai sighed heavily, "He's had contact with Jess, and I yelled at him and might have told him to go to hell." Lorelai finished, breathing loudly.
Rory became silent. "That must be how he got my number," She finally mumbled.
"What did you just say?" Lorelai yelled into the phone, "Did he call you? Oh my god, I'm gonna kill him! I'm gonna hunt him down a blow his brains out! How dare he call you! How dare he!" She yelled, "And Luke! I don't believe he gave him your number!"
Rory interrupted, "Mom…it's okay. Please don't be mad at Luke. It's not his fault….Jess is just really manipulative and he IS his nephew. You should not be mad at Luke."
"But…" Lorelai asked.
"I'm fine mom. I'm over Jess. Nothing he can say to me matters. He can kiss my ass for all that I care!"
"Are you sure you're okay?" Lorelai asked.
"Yes mom. I'm fine."
"Well…What did he say?"
"Actually, he tried to apologize.. but I didn't except it and I hung up on him."
"Wow. You want me to kill him?" Lorelai asked.
"I don't know…I don't want to talk about it anymore," Rory quickly changed the subject. "Guess what? I've got a date tonight….It's really a funny story….." Rory and Lorelai talked for awhile longer, before Lorelai finally hung up.
"I can't believe the nerve of that boy! He'd better not hurt her again! And I can't believe Luke gave him that number!" Lorelai said to herself. Her stomach began to growl. " I'll just have to have breakfast at…Al's" She decided. Lorelai grabbed her purse and walked out the door, making sure to lock it behind her.When she arrived at Al's she ordered pancakes that turned out to be disgusting and coffee that was twice as bad as she remembered. I haven't had breakfast here since I fought with Luke after the car accident. I'll have to remember never to eat breakfast here again…or in that case, never to fight with Luke again. She paid the bill and left. She absent-mindedly began walking to Luke's. She was about to open the door when she remembered the fight. Damn-it! I can't go in there. She looked around and saw Kirk walking towards her.
"Kirk!" Lorelai yelled and pulled him into a bush. She leaned over and signaled for him to do the same.
"Lorelai is there a reason that we're hiding in a bush?" Kirk asked frowning.
"Is there a reason you have 20 shirts and pants on in the middle of a nice spring day?" She asked raising an eye-brow.
"Actually, to be exact, I have 5 shirts, 2 pairs of pants, and a pair of long underwear on." He answered.
"Ah…and why is this?"
"Oh, well this morning when I was feeding Cat Kirk, he attacked me and dug his claws into my stomach…so I thought that maybe if I wear layers then he won't be able to get his claws through as easily."
Lorelai nodded, "Why don't you just de-claw him?"
He shuddered, "I'm to scared to try and pick him up."
"Hmm…well Kirk, I was wondering if you'd do me a favor."
"Another fight with Luke?"
"Actu- hey! How did you know?" Lorelai asked frowning.
"Well, I narrowed down the possible reasons of you dragging me into a bush. I figured that my options were either A. To have small talk, B. To make-out (Although that would be highly unsanitary) or C. To bribe me to buy you coffee."
"Huh," Lorelai said smirking, "So will you?"
Kirk paused to think about it, "Will I get in trouble?"
"No," She said shaking her head.
"Well, then I suppose I could."
"Good. I'll wait here."
Kirk walked out of the bush and into the Diner. Lorelai waited impatiently. Kirk came out a minute later.
Lorelai frowned, "Are they making invisible coffee now?"
Kirk shook his head, "Sorry Lorelai, no coffee."
"Why?"
"Well, Luke said that the next time you hid in the bushes, you should make sure that your hidden well."
"What?"
"In other words, your bottom is sticking out," he said pointing.
She turned around, "Dang-it, it's just to big." She said shaking her head.
Kirk blushed at the thought… "He said that you get it or no one gets it."
Lorelai sighed. "Alright, bye Kirk," She said as she stepped out of the bushes and began to brush herself off.
"Good bye Lorelai," Kirk said and continued on his way down the street.
Lorelai stepped in front of the door and peered in the window. Luke looked up and they made eye-contact. Lorelai started to turn the door-knob, but stopped suddenly, turned and began running away from the Diner, in the direction of the gazebo.
Luke watched her, and he too, ran from the Diner and began chasing after her.
To be continued……
