Sunday Night- Movies

"I love this movie. Who knew you were a movie guy?" Lorelai remarked as they watched Breakfast at Tiffany's.

"Shhhhhh," Luke whispered. "I told you I could be a movie guy. You like movies, why can't I?"

"Because you don't. At least you never have before." Lorelai responded.

"Well, maybe I am now." Luke mumbled.

"Well maybe I kinda like this new you." Lorelai smiled

"Maybe?"

"Yeah, we'll see how it goes." Luke then reaches for her left hand with his left hand and holds it on his leg for a minute, while playing with her fingers.

"Umm, maybe you have never done this before, but usually people hold hands with the ones closest to each other." Lorelai smarted, smiling at Luke.

"Well, then, I wouldn't have my other arm free to do this..." And with that, Luke slipped his other arm around her shoulders.

"Oh, okay. Then you do know what you're doing." Lorelai said, looking back at the movie and settling in by his side.

When the movie finishes and they walk out of the theatre, Luke holds Lorelai's hand. "So," he starts, "would you like to get some coffee?"

"You don't drink coffee." Lorelai points out grinning.

"I know this. But you, however, do."

Coffee Shop-

As they drink from their cups, Lorelai keeps eyeing Luke.

"What?" he asks. "Why do you keep looking at me that way?"

"What is that again?" Lorelai asks.

"What is what? Oh, the drink. Chai. It's tea. It's good. Want some?" Luke questions.

As Lorelai sips it and grimaces, Luke smirks, "What, no good?"

"I'll stick to coffee," she mumbles, then smiles into her cup

As they walk to the truck, Lorelai asks, "So, I was thinking, since Rory is gone, when she went to Yale and missed the first movie night, you didn't mind..."

As she trails off, Luke looks at her and says, "What are you asking?"

"Do you want to come over and watch movies tomorrow night?"

"Your movie choices suck."

"You can pick the movies. Get 2 of them?"

"Deal. Seven o'clock?"

"Deal, "Lorelai responds as she smiles at him.

During the ride home, they keep stealing glances at each other. Finally, Luke says, "I had a great time tonight."

"Me too," Lorelai says shyly. "This was like our third date, but also like our first date. I keep telling myself that I shouldn't be nervous, but I am, cause I don't know if you like me, or how you like me, or why you like me, and now I am rambling. I'm gonna shut up now."

Luke smiles at her and says, "Want an answer?"

"It's okay. You don't have to. I am just being stupid and weird."

"No, you're not. It's good that you're nervous, well not good, but okay, cause I am too. I do like you, in a really like you, like you way, and I like you because you're you, weird and everything."

"Oh okay," Lorelai says fiddling with her hands. "Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"I like you too."

He smiles. She smiles. They drive.

Lorelai's house.

"So, do you want to come inside?" Lorelai asks.

"Umm, if you're sure it's okay?"

"It's okay, I like you remember?" Lorelai smiles.

They walk inside and kinda stand there awkwardly. "This is new to me," Lorelai stammers.

"You're house?" Luke asks.

"No, this. Not dating, but dating you. I mean I'm dating you. It feels...."

"Weird?" Luke asks.

"Oh god. He thinks I don't like him. NO WAIT DON"T DRAW BACK. I like this Luke. I like the guy who's right here." Lorelai looks him in the eyes and says, "No. It feels good. Warm, bubbly. Kinda like a first boyfriend. What's weird is. I am seeing it for the first time."

"She likes me. We are dating. She called me her boyfriend. She finally gets it." "I'm glad." Luke says as he walks toward her.

"How long have you known?" Lorelai asks him.

"Uh, a while." He responds

"How long is a while?"

"You would laugh if I told you." Luke said nervously.

"No. I wouldn't. How long have you known?" Lorelai said seriously.

"Years."

"Years?"

"Years. But I was always too scared to say anything. Or you were with someone. Or the timing was bad."

"But the timings good now right?" Lorelai asks, stepping closer to him.

"Yeah. It's right now. It fits. We fit." Luke said wrapping his arms around her waist and letting his hands fall in the small of her back.

Lorelai lifted her head to look in his eyes. Both of their faces drew closer to each other until their lips met. They kissed tenderly at first, each not knowing how the other felt. As they both responded to each other, the kiss deepened and when Lorelai opened her lips, Luke slipped in his tongue and began gently massaging her tongue with his.

Lorelai reached up and slipped her hand around Luke's head and began running her fingers through his hair. She felt this kiss begin to get more urgent and responded by pressing her body further against him. She heard him let out a moan and then he slowly ended the kiss, while holding her close to him.

"I should go." He said.

"Okay," she whispered. "But I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay."

As Luke shut the door, Lorelai ran upstairs and collapsed on her bed. "He likes me." She said giggling. "Oh my god, I'm thirteen."

"She likes me." Luke said, opening his truck door. "It's about time."

Diner- morning

Luke hears the jingle, but doesn't lift his head. He knows it's her. He knows if he lifts his head and looks at her, everyone in the diner will know how he feels.

Lorelai walks in and bumps into a table. Man, that was smooth. Why isn't he looking up? Does he know it's me? Does he think we made a mistake?" She walks up to the counter and sits down.

Luke looks up from wiping the counter and looks into her eyes. He smiles. She smiles back.

"Hey." Lorelai says

"Hey yourself." He responds. "Coffee to go?"

"Yeah."

As she takes the cup from him, their fingers brush and they look at each other and smile. "I gotta go. See you later?"

"I wouldn't miss it."

As she turns to walk out she smiles and tucks a stray hair behind her ear.

"God, she's beautiful." He thinks.

"When did he get cute? He's cute. Cute. Luke is cute and I like him."

Lorelai smiled all the way to the Dragonfly and when she got inside, Sookie asked, "What's up?"

"Huh?" Lorelai said coming back to reality. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, that with your head in the clouds, you should be able to tell me what is going on up there." Sookie teased.

Lorelai sat down on a chair. "Well, if I tell you, do you swear not to tell anyone else? Not even Jackson?"

Sookie looked at her seriously and said, "I swear. And this had better be good."

"Oh it's good. I am dating Luke."

"Luke? Luke, Luke? Diner Luke? Luke who has had a thing for you forever? That Luke?" Sookie asked

"The very same." Lorelai sighed.

"That is awesome. How did you find out he liked you?"

"He told me."

"He told you?"

"He told me. While we were out on a date. To the movies. Which Luke now goes to. Because he likes me. Me. Lorelai Gilmore. Luke likes me. And I like him too."

"Wow. This is good. Too bad I can't tell anyone." Sookie remarked.

"Sookie"

"I know, I know. I'm just teasing you. I think it's great. It's about time. So, are you guys jumping in or taking it slow?" Sookie asked

"Umm, well we haven't really talked about anything yet. I think we are just going to let this happen. Just us, without any pressure from anyone else. That way we can see exactly where it goes." Lorelai explained.

"Good idea. So when is your next date?" Sookie wondered.

"Tonight. Movies at my place. And I have no idea what I am going to wear."
