"Wow. I cannot believe we just did that." Lorelai stood up from where she was lying and put her shirt back on.
"I'm hoping that's a good reaction."
"Oh yeah, that's good. Better than good. Great, wonderful, there is a myriad of words that I could use to describe what just happened."
Luke got up from where he was sitting. "I told you. That's the way you should start every day."
"God, Luke, I would. One teensy little problem though. I can't do this all by myself, and I can't ask you to come to my house every day. But I was thinking…"
"Uh-oh. What?"
"Well, around 10:30 there is a lull in the diner usually…"
"Now you're keeping track of traffic patterns in the Diner?"
"Hey, this is important stuff I'm talking about. Usually the only people in the Diner around then are you, and me, and Kirk. Kirk won't mind."
"You mean you want me to do it right in front of him? No Lorelai, that's going too far."
"But if you love me…"
"I definitely love you, but in front of Kirk? Robot Kirk? Thinks I can't see him if he sits still long enough Kirk? He wishes."
"I bet he does. He probably would want to get in on some of the action."
"Sure. I could start a business. Twenty bucks a pop. Yeah, that would be really popular."
"No kidding mister. So, where did you learn to give massages like that anyways? (I know what you were thinking… Dirty! ;0 )"
"When I was in High School, they encouraged the athletes to get massages every week. Well, the good athletes."
"Oooh, mister modesty. I like that in a man."
"So, the woman who gave me my massages taught me a few things like the pressure points, how oils play a role. I got more into it with Rachel."
"Okay, old girlfriend territory, does not need to be broached."
"I thought you liked Rachel"
"Oh, I do, but only in the context of 'Oh, what a pretty picture you would make Lorelai. You are so pretty!' That is the Rachel I like. Not the 'oh Luke, give me a massage'. Kepis?"
"Got it. You're just being protective again."
"Of course. Now, back to business."
"I'm sorry Lorelai, but I really have to go back to business."
"Awww man! It was getting really good."
"Well, we want to save some for later. Are we set for tonight."
"Oh. One little teensy weensie insignificant problem."
"Oh no, Lorelai, don't tell me…"
"I promise I will break up with him tonight."
"I don't want to have to share you Lorelai."
"And you won't- you aren't. Jason will have to understand that he can't compare to you." Lorelai put her hand on Luke's. He looked down at it.
"I understand."
"Do you really? Because I know that sometimes when I say I understand, I don't really, but I'm just trying to make someone feel better. Like that time Rory was telling me about what a pain it is to be reading and then get something in your eye, because then you can't finish reading. So I said I understood, when really, have you ever seen me reading a book when I get something in my eye because I want to know the ending? I mean, come on, the good guys hook up, the bad guys die. It's all very…" Luke cut her off.
"I understand. Leave it at that."
Lorelai shut up.
***Dinner that night @ Jason's***
"So, Jason, how's the business going?"
"Oh. Uh, well, some businessmen from Manchuria decided that they would like to come over and play golf sometime, but let's not talk about business. I have other things on my mind." Jason looked at Lorelai with a glint in his eye.
"Oh, yeah, Jason, I do have something else I wanted to talk about."
"Okay. Did I ever tell you how pretty you are?"
"Oh, well, I'm sure you did, but there is no official limit on the amount of times you can say it. Now Jason, what I was going to say…"
"I think our relationship is really strong. We should tell your parents. Really. Right now."
"Where is this coming from Jason? I need to talk to you, be serious for a minute, please."
"Um, Lorelai, behind yo…. Oh, hello Emily. What a surprise!"
"What?!! Oh shit, can I hide?"
"Lucky for you, that was just a test run. Next time will be the real thing. Maybe you can get some code words in there, like "Major T. approaching from the rear entrance, Little Princess under cover in five…"
"Not a laughing matter Jason."
"Hey, I'm not the one afraid to tell my parents about us."
"If you can think this is a laughing matter, than I don't think there can be any more us." God, I hope he falls for this…
"Lorelai, you have got to be kidding me." Jason's hopes fell "You really want to break up because of one little thing I said?"
"Uh, yeah. I do, I really feel strongly about this, and you can't take me seriously."
"Oh come on Lorelai! You're never serious! You're like a kid!"
"Wow. Some way to try and win my heart, huh Digger?!! Where the hell do you get off insulting me?"
"This is insulting if you think I will take a few bad words as an excuse to break up a perfectly good relationship."
"This relationship is not perfectly good! You can't even sleep in the same bed as me for God's sake!"
"I can't help things like that! You can't…"
"Blame you? Oh yes I can!" so far so good…
"This can't be right… there must be.. Some.." Jason was grasping for straws here, " there must be.. Another man?"
A blush rose to Lorelai's face. She tried to deny it, but one look and Jason knew.
"You whore!! How could you do this to me?!! To us?!! To your parents?!"
Now Lorelai was getting mad. "Don't you dare call me a whore, you pathetic, under endowed, good-for-nothing pig! My parents have nothing to do with this. I won't stand for this anymore. Goodbye Jason!" And with that, Lorelai walked out of Jason's life, and ran back to Luke's.
