Chapter 3: Blonde Barbie
Luke looked at his counter, deeply in thought and wiped the same spot for five minutes. Since the kiss he was totally out of mind; he could not concentrate, remember what customers ordered or bring them the right food. He wasn't even able to piss off Tailor, who complained about the look of his place, or yell at Kirk, who wasn't able to order.
He couldn't believe, that one kiss could freak him out so much. But it wasn't only a kiss, it was a kiss of Lorelai. the woman that annoyed and fascinated him, who had the strength to raise a kid all alone, handle her job and still be this childlike and open-hearted.
But he had to stop thinking of her and what happened, because he would be hopeful and that would be dangerous. Lorelai was very inscrutable and he had no idea how she had felt about the kiss.
It hadn't been a serious kiss, just gentle, she had kissed him like a friend, but for him it had been so much more...
‚Damn it!' he thought. ‚I really should stop thinking about that.'
He went around the counter, refilling coffee as she got into his mind again. Would she avoid him and his coffee because of the kiss? But why should she do that, if it hadn't been a serious kiss?
Would she act normal, or weird, or different than usual? But why should she do that, if it didn't mean anything?
‚Oh crap, that woman's driving me crazy!' he thought. ‚More than usual' he added in his mind and smiled lightly, thinking about her usual ways to make him mad. Her coffee-begging, her dates, her flirting-actions and the looks he sometimes noticed when she thought he couldn't see her.
‚If she comes around in the next few days, I'll try to act normal.' he decided. He would try to hide his feelings as usual to make this situation less awkward.
Just at this moment the doorbell rang and the door was opened full of drive. Luke looked up hopefully but recognized soon, that it was an unfamiliar customer, who had entered the diner.
‚Crap' he thought and went to him to take his order.

Lorelai stood in front of the diner and watched Luke serving coffee to his customers. She wasn't sure if she should go inside, the whole situation seemed just so awkward to her.
‚But there's nothing to feel awkward about. I was sad, he comforted me and I thanked him, that's what close friends do! Nothing weird about it...' she thought.
Plus she felt the need for some of his wonderful coffee, a cheeseburger and some french fries. The conversation with Rory and the ice-cream have been three hours ago and she felt that she really needed to eat hot food for lunch.
Finally she took a deep breath and entered the diner. ‚Just pretend like nothing happened' she thought and sat on a barstool at the counter.
Luke hadn't noticed Lorelai and took the orders of a young, pretty woman, who was obviously interested in him. She tried her best to get his attention, flipped her hair and smiled flirtatiously, but Luke was still lost in thoughts about Lorelai and didn't even notice her effort.
But Lorelai did. She glared at the long-legged, blonde woman and was extremely annoyed by her.
Finally Luke looked up and saw Lorelai. His heart skipped a beat, but he was confused as he noticed the angry expression written on her face. Feeling very insecure he walked to the counter.
„Hey"Lorelai said and smiled shyly.
„Hey"Luke answered feeling great relief that everything seemed to be normal."What can I get you?"
„You still have to ask? One really, really, really big mug full of your incredible coffee! And a cheeseburger with fries."
„No more coffee for you today!"
Lorelai's mouth hung open in shock.
„First you are my knight in shining armor bringing me coffee and now you won't give it to me?"she paused „Wow, that sounded really dirty, didn't it?"
Luke blushed and poured her a cup of coffee.
„Aw, thank you sooo much!"
„Just to make you shut up!"
„But this will only last for a few minutes..."
„Unfortunately"
„So, who is this woman?"
„Huh?"Luke looked confused.
„The one sitting behind me drooling over you."
Luke took a glance over her shoulder and saw the blonde woman who was watching him intensively. He remembered the angry look he had seen on Lorelai's face when he had taken the order of that woman and smiled.
‚Could she be....? No, no way, Lorelai couldn't be jealous' he thought. But than he remembered the night when one of these Chilton-moms had asked him for the fastest way to Hartford. Lorelai seemed to think that she was asking him out and asked him afterwards, not to go out with this woman, because she wanted to separate her private life from her life as Emily Gilmore's daughter. She had obviously been jealous of that woman. Luke chuckled.
„Hey, what's so funny?"Lorelai asked suspicious. She thought that Luke was smiling because of that woman and got annoyed again.
„She looks good, doesn't she?"Luke asked to tease her.
„Didn't know you fall for barbie-girls"she replied with a snort.
Luke tried hard to hide his smile, but failed miserably and looked into her eyes.
„Hey, are you jealous?"he asked to mock her.
„No, why should I?"she answered challenging.
They both looked deep in each other's eyes and were suddenly surrounded by a tension, that could be easily cut with a knife.
Lorelai got nervous. The look in his eyes made her shiver and the thought of that made her really confused. She cleared her throat and looked down to the counter.
„Uhm, I think your coffee shows it's effect on me, where's the toilet?"
„You can use the bathroom at my apartment. The door is open."
„Okay"
Lorelai stood up and made her way to the stairs very quickly. She nearly stumbled over her feet but could hold on to an empty table.
„Are you okay?"Luke asked astonished.
„Yeah, I'm all right, everything's right, could not be more right, I really have to go."Lorelai rambled as reply and hurried up to his apartment.
Luke didn't know what to feel. On the one hand it made him smile, that she was so clumsy, obviously because of him, but on the other hand it made him frown, that she had to escape the past situation this fast.
‚Why does she always have to run away from me?'
