Monday evening- Lorelai's
Lorelai puts on her tightest, low-rise jeans and a skimpy tank top with a plunging neckline. She fluffs her hair and then goes downstairs to put together the spread of food.
Luke stands outside and takes a deep breath before he knocks. "Okay. Stay calm. You are just here to watch a movie. Only a movie. Just watching. Nothing else. Stay cool." He thinks.
Lorelai opens the door and takes a quick breath when she sees Luke. "Please don't let him hear my heartbeat. Please don't let him see how nervous and shaky I am." She thinks. "You look nice," she says.
"So do you," Luke replies, taking in the view as Lorelai turns around and enters the house.
"So, the food is set out. I'll get some drinks."
"Lorelai, what is this?" Luke asks from the living room.
Lorelai comes out of the kitchen and sees what he is pointing to. "You call yourself a health nut and you don't know what vegetables are?" she teased.
"I was just surprised you did. And that you bought them." Luke said to her.
"Anything for you, dear."
"Don't call me dear."
"Sweetums?"
"No."
"Pookie?"
"No."
"Okay then I will have to think of something original. Hmmm, how about Coffee Stud?"
Luke rolled his eyes and said, "Just between us? This is never said in public?"
"Deal" Lorelai responded walking to him and handing him his drink. "Here you go, Coffee Stud."
"I am going to regret this." Luke sighed.
"You just hate that I have so much power over you." Lorelai told him smiling and kissing his cheek.
"Oh believe me, you'll find out who has the power one of these days." Luke responded playfully.
"Dirty."
"Movie."
"Deal. What did you get anyway?" she asks as she picks up the movie cases. "Field of Dreams and Terminator? I let you pick the movies and you pick two that you know I wouldn't want to watch."
"Silly me, "Luke responded smiling at her.
"Fine, have it your way. We'll watch the movies. But I don't have to like them."
"I just figured that since you love to mock movies, I would give you a few that have enough mocking substance to keep you busy."
"Hmmph. Good plan," Lorelai says as they sit down to watch the movie.
After Field of Dreams Lorelai gets up to get more drinks. "Go ahead and put the Terminator, I'll just be a second in here."
As she refills the drinks she begins to think, "Okay, so we made it through a movie without kissing. But I want him to kiss me. I don't want him to wait for me to make the move. I want him to want to kiss me. Does he want to kiss me. What if he doesn't. What if he really wants to take this slow. Is there anything wrong with taking it slow? No. But I don't want to go slow. I am just now noticing him like that and I really like what I see. I like the backwards hat. I like the flannel. He's cute. I'm gushing. Seriously, I am thirteen now, and the boy I like, likes me too. Do, I wait for him to kiss me or do I kiss him first, or what? Okay, calm down. Let him set the pace. Just wait for it to happen. You have been waiting this long, what is a little bit longer."
She picks up the drinks and when she walks back into the living room, Luke stares at her as she crosses the room. "What took you so long?" he asks.
"Oh, uh nothing. Just thinking."
"About what?" Luke asks suspiciously.
"How much I like you."
"Oh. Okay. Movie?" Luke responds.
"Yeah." Lorelai smiles.
As they watch the movie, Lorelai keeps looking at Luke. Whenever she looks away, he is looking at her. Luke readjusts himself on the couch and slips his arm around Lorelai. She leans back into his chest and puts her head on his shoulder. Luke gently strokes her arm with his fingers and Lorelai responds by taking his other hand in hers and playing with his fingers. After a few more minutes of pretending to watch the movie, Luke disengages his fingers from hers and touches her chin. He then turns her head to face him and guides her mouth to his. He begins by gently kissing her lower lip and she opens her mouth slightly to allow for a deeper kiss. His tongue enters her mouth and begins gently swirling around hers as his arms envelop her in an embrace. She slowly turns her body until her chest is against his. When he feels her body press against his, he gasps and she takes the opportunity to deepen the kiss. He runs his fingers through her hair as her hands begin exploring his chest. His muscles twitch with every movement of her fingers. When their faces part and they look at each other, Lorelai looks down, shyly.
"What's wrong?" Luke asks tenderly.
"Why did it take us so long?" Lorelai asked.
"Does it matter now?"
"No."
And with that they kissed again. Gently and without urgency. This time, when the kiss was over, Luke looked into Lorelai's eyes and said, "It's late and I probably need to get home."
Lorelai smiled at him and remarked, "Yeah cause who knows what would happen if you stayed."
"Oh, I think we both know. And that's why I'm leaving." Luke smiled at her as he stood up to leave.
"Well, goodnight then," Lorelai smiled as she walked him to the door. "I had a great time."
"Yeah me too. So, tomorrow night? Dinner? Hartford? Seven?"
"Ish. And yeah sounds good."
"Okay then, I will see you at seven." Luke maintained as he kissed her goodnight.
"Ish," Lorelai whispered as he walked to his truck.
As his truck pulled away, she shut the door, squealed like a teenager, and ran up to her room to hug her pillow and smile.

"So do you," Luke replies, taking in the view as Lorelai turns around and enters the house.
