The characters you see before you are not mine. I wish they were, but no.
A month had passed and Luke and Lorelai had seen each other every day. They never had to tell anyone about their newfound love for each other because to everyone who knew them, it was readily apparent.
Monday Morning- Lorelai's-
As the phone rings, Lorelai runs out of the bathroom toweling off her hair. "Hello?"
"Mom?"
"Hey. Who's this? Who would be calling me mom?"
"Yeah, I know, it's been a while since I called last, but I just wanted to let you know that we would be home on Thursday."
"Oh, wow. Great. So I can go ahead and pick out a dozen movies and have them and the junk food ready for your return?" Lorelai asked teasingly.
"Sure, why not. How's Luke?"
"He's fine. We're fine. In love. Fine."
"In love? You love him?" Rory asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, I do."
"Did you tell him this?" Rory prodded.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I did. It took some encouraging, and a fight, and your grandfather to make me realize how I felt and that I needed to tell him."
"Speaking of Grandpa, guess who has been calling every day?"
'No way."
"Yeah. He is really trying mom. It's great."
"How's your Grandma taking this?" Lorelai questioned.
"Better than I thought she would. She gets all nervous when she talks to him. But when she hangs up, she talks as if she could care less."
"That's love, if I've ever seen it." Lorelai remarked laughing.
"Well, mom, I gotta go. I just wanted to tell you I'd see you Thursday and I miss you."
"Miss you too kiddo."
"Bye."
"Hey. Rory?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you."
"I love you too. Bye."
"Bye."
Lorelai put down the phone and smiled. Rory was coming home. She sounded happy. "I wonder if Luke is busy...." She thought picking up the phone.
"Luke's"
"Hey Coffee Stud."
Rolling his eyes Luke replied, "Hi."
"So, Rory just called."
"Really, how is she?"
"Good. She's coming home on Thursday."
"So, I guess you'll want some time alone with her?"
"Yeah, but not too long or I'll miss you."
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder." Luke told her as he poured some coffee for his customers.
"Yeah, well, just don't be absent too long. I don't want to forget you exist."
"Could that happen?"
"Have you seen 'Memento'? Enough said."
"So, what do you want or dinner?"
"Surprise me. I like surprises."
"Deal. See ya later."
"Bye."
"Bye."
When she hung up the phone it immediately rang again. She picked it up and said, "Did you forget to tell me you love me?"
"How many times do I preach to you about telephone etiquette just to have you behave like this."
"Hello, mother." Lorelai sighed.
"And who is this that loves you. Would it be your diner man, Luke?"
"Yes, mother, it is Luke. And you know what? I love him too. He makes me happy." Lorelai snapped back.
"You don't sound happy now." Emily remarked.
"That has nothing to do with him, is there something I can help you with." Lorelai said taking a deep breath.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, there is. I know Rory called you earlier to tell you when we would be arriving home."
"Thursday."
"Yes. So, Friday night dinners will resume the following day. And Lorelai, since you now have a man in your life who loves you, it would be nice if your father and I could meet him."
"You've met him mom."
"I know, but not since he has been dating you. I would like the opportunity to talk to him."
"I'll see what I can do, he's very busy with the diner."
"Good. I will see the three of you on Friday. Goodbye."
Lorelai sat there a minute holding the dead phone to her ear. "Goodbye, mother." She muttered, putting down the phone.
She got dressed to go to the Inn.
Monday Evening- Lorelai's-
Luke walked in with bags of food and Lorelai walked out of the kitchen. She kissed him on the cheek.
"Hey."
"Hey yourself." She replied. "So, there's this thing, and you don't have to if you don't want to, but I have to, even though I don't want to, and it's okay if you don't..."
"Friday night dinner?"
"How did you know?" Lorelai asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Rory called to warn me before your mother called and asked. There was no break in the conversation where I could say no, so I'm going I guess."
"You don't have to."
"Do you want me to not go?"
"No, I mean yes, I mean, if you want to go you can, but don't let my mother force you into going."
"I'll go, because that means I get more time with you. We're in this together remember? The whole thing?"
"Yeah, it's just tough sometimes. I mean, I've spent all this time alone and gotten used to myself. Now I have someone to share the weirdness with."
"You've always had Rory." Luke pointed out.
"Yeah, but she's as weird as me." Lorelai told him planting a kiss on his lips.
"Lorelai, no one is as weird as you." Luke said looking at her eyes.
"Not even Kirk?"
"Well, maybe Kirk. But you are definitely cuter."
"I should hope so. Or you would suddenly become the UN-luckiest guy in the world."
"Let's not let that happen." He said swooping her off of her feet and carrying her upstairs.
"What about the food?" Lorelai shrieked as he ran up the stairs.
"It can wait. This can't."
With that he deposited her on the bed and threw himself on top of her and kissed her.
"I love you, Lorelai Gilmore."
"I love you, Luke Danes."
"Just checkin." He said as he kissed her deeply and began removing her shirt. Their lovemaking session was short and sweet, so that they could get back downstairs for dinner. Luke pulled on his jeans as Lorelai put on Luke's T-shirt and they went down to the kitchen to heat up the food and settle in on the couch.
"So, what are we watching tonight?" Lorelai asked.
"Baseball."
"No."
"It's my turn. We watched the Breakfast Club Marathon on E! yesterday."
"Fine, watch your baseball."
They ate slowly with Luke watching the game and Lorelai watching Luke watch the game.
"Can I help you?" he finally said.
"Yes. Let's do something else."
"Like what?"
"Follow me upstairs and I'll give you a clue."
Luke followed her upstairs for another round of lovemaking and after they both collapsed onto the bed, they slept like babies all night long.
Sorry, if this chapter seemed mostly fluffer, but I had to set up the story about when Rory is coming home. The Friday night dinner should be interesting. I would love some ideas on how it should go since I am not totally set yet.
