Chapter Four: The Start of Something More

She sat silently on the steps of her front porch, waiting for him. Early that day she had went shopping for junk food and got their movie. Daddy Daycare. She had read the back, smiled, and put it down thinking Luke wouldn't like it but after browsing the rest of the store she came back to it and rented it.

As she had stood in front of her wardrobe, she had cried out in frustration. Why is it so hard to choose an outfit? This is Luke! She thought as she searched for the perfect attire. Finally she settled on a pair of denim shorts and a blue tank top that read Perfect Princess.

She saw his truck pull into the drive and a smile overcame her face. Precious was sitting by her feet as she stroked the hair behind his ear and went frigid as Luke approached.

Luke stared down at the dog, eyebrow raised then up to Lorelai. She shrugged, raising her own eyebrows with a smile. He took in her appearance and her usually wild, free hair, that was now up into a high ponytail.

"Come in! Come in!" She said nervously, hoping she wasn't that obvious. They walked into the house, Precious following behind Lorelai at ease, but stopped as he saw Luke entering.

"There is something weird going on with that dog…" he declared going around it and closing the door.

He entered the house, he had entered many times before, even once he had broken and entered. Somehow, this time felt different.

He saw the movie box on the coffee table along with the usual junk food, but this time there was some healthy stuff mixed in. He held back a smile that he almost let loose at the sight.

"Okay, you know the rules… now, I rented Daddy Daycare!"

He stared at her, nodding his head, wondering what type or torture he'd have to be put through to watch it.

The movie was almost over, and even though he'd never admit it, he was actually enjoying it.

Lorelai sat on the couch, her legs tucked neatly under her and she munched on some popcorn. She passed the bag over to him, as he sat on the opposite side of the couch and he took a handful, just to shut her up. She smiled as he watched out of the corner of his eye. She had seemed nervous, and still did, and that was no match to how he felt. His stomach had squirmed relentlessly when her legs had been spread out on the couch, so close to him. But then she got tired of the position and switched like she had many times before.

The movie came to an end and she looked over to him, to see his reaction. He looked back at her and their eyes met, causing both of them to feel very uncomfortable. She looked away first, and he sighed.

"Lorelai-"

"Luke-"

She smiled and looked over again, in that amount of time they had both moved closer to one another. He reached out and placed his hands around her waist as she moved closer yet.

She felt a shiver down her spine at his touch and was growing hot. It was like electricity was running through her body and little did she know the same thing was happening to him.

Faces close, eyes locked, they leaned in. As their lips met briefly they heard the door open and the dog bark.

Her eyes widened and she looked up to see Rory there, staring at them.

They had moved apart but his hands still lingered on her waist, which Rory noticed right away.

"I should… ah, go." Luke said nodding his head as he got up and left without another word. Lorelai was left slightly in shock, slightly disappointed and a little mad at her daughter for choosing that very moment to barge in.

::::

He walked to h is truck and got in, but didn't move. He couldn't believe what just happened. I actually, and she… actually… he thought. He shook his head as if to jumble the thoughts around so he could make it back to the diner in one piece.

::::

Lorelai lay in bed that night, remembering the evenings events. There were so many. The almost kiss between herself and Luke, her furious daughter who had stormed right back out to her car and took off right after Luke.

She smiled as she remembered the almost kiss between them. It was strange how much she wanted it, and now that she looked back, she realized how natural it had seemed.

Sighing slightly she turned the light out as she looked to Precious where he stood in the corner, and slowly as he sunk to the ground, asleep.

"Tomorrow promises to be an interesting day…" she said in a whisper out loud before drifting off to sleep herself.

Author's Note: Short, I know! I will try my hardest to update in a shorter amount of time than last time. I won't be around for a week, so I will use that time to write. Oh! And look for updates of my other stories shortly.
