Part 3Luke closed the diner a little earlier then usual, he finished up and went upstairs to take a shower.
He found him self sitting on his couch after the shower and thoughts of Lorelai and Rory kept crowding his mind.
What was he suppose to do, he thought, she was married and acting really strange, 'I can understand her' he told himself 'her only daughter wants to be with an old guy... ' then Rory's little kiss came to him like quivery through his body "oh crap" he said aloud 'she makes me feel so good, its been so long since I felt good around a woman...' his inner voice told him but then he thought 'who am I kidding, she's no woman... she's Rory... Lorelai's Rory... this is insane... how could I even consider doing this... its disgusting...
And then the phone rang pulling him out of his thoughts
"Halo"
"Hi"
"Hi"
"Can I come up?"
"Rory"
"Luke, please I need to see that you're alright"
"I'm alright"
"Get down here and open the door, please..."
"Rory"
"Luke"
"Fine"
He came down and let her in, he locked the door and he followed her to the stairs, she reach for his hand and she shivered when she felt his warm touch, she stopped in the middle of the stairs and turned to look at him
"Something wrong?"
"No why"
"Why are we standing half way? Let's get in"
"I just wanted to look at you" she ran her fingers through his wet hair
"Rory don't"
"You smell nice" she smiled
'She's got to stop smiling like that... jeez...' he said to him self
"Come on" she didn't let go of his hand and they went inside
"Sit down, I'm making some tea, coffee?"
"Tea is fine"
"Fine"
He placed the mug on the table and sat next to her on the couch
"Let me see your face"
"Its o.k. Rory, leave it" waving her off with his hands
"Do you want me to go?"
"Yes"
"Fine" She got up, he grabbed her arm and their eyes were locked
"I'm sorry, this isn't easy for me, I mean, you're Rory"
"Again thanks for clearing that up"
He pulled her down and she sat on his lap
"Luke I've had relationships before, I'm not a child, relax..."
"Are we really in a relationship?"
"Don't look so scared, I won't bite you"
"I know you won't"
"So relax... I can't believe I'm telling you how to act around women"
"You're not women"
"I'm Rory I get that... will a different name make you feel better? How about Michelle or Julia?"
"Rory is fine" he said laughing a little
"At least I got you to laugh" she said taking his hand and crossing there fingers again like she did in the morning
"So how was your day?" he asked looking at their joined fingers
"I'm starting to write tomorrow after breakfast"
"Tomorrow is Danish day"
"Luke" she said seriously "you changed the day?"
"Yes, a long time ago"
"Great" she closed her eyes and rested her head on his chest
"You tired?"
"No just want to be close" and after a while she got up and sat on him again this time each leg on each side of his body
"What are you doing?" he asked but didn't seem to mind
"Shh, don't talk o.k.?" and she leaned in to kiss him forcefully, he kissed her back his hands on the couch not daring to touch her, fighting the voices in his head, she pulled back
"If you want me to go just say so Luke, it's like you're afraid to touch me"
"I don't want you to go, but its weird o.k."
"Just relax, just don't think about me"
"It's hard"
"Dirty" she smiled
"Jeez, not you too"
"There's only one way to shut me up"
his hand moved to the back of her head pulling her in for a soft kiss that grew in to a passionate one seconds later, her hunger grew she needed more, her tongue brushed his lower lip and he opened his mouth welcoming her worm breath and tongue in, she broke the kiss moments later to adjust her self more comfortably on him and she touched his hardness by mistake freeing a moan from his throat he raise his head to look up and she took advantage of the moment and moved her wet mouth to his neck kissing, sucking, enjoying every little sound he made.
His hands trailed to her back while her hands caress his soft hair she pulled him down pressing her lips firmly on his their mouths open in an instant letting there tongues dance around each other they pulled back moments later for air and he said
"You need to go!"
"You're kicking me out?"
"I need to take a shower"
"Another one, you just took one before I came here"
"Exactly why I need another one, a cold one"
"Oh..., well it's ok, let me take care of that" she said reaching down for his sweat pants making contact with his arousal over his pants moving her hand slowly and making it grow more
"What are you doing? Rory... stop that" he panicked holding her hands
"Come on Luke I know you want to, I felt it..." she giggled and kissed him again
"I'm not sleeping with you tonight" he said through the kiss
"What if I asked really nice?" she whispered seductively
"Rory..."
"Luke..." moving her lips to his neck
"Don't"
"Why not?"
"Just don't" he got her off of him gently and she sat beside him
"You're weird"
"Am I?"
"Yes"
"Fine" he got up
"What?"
"I'm going to sit on a chair far away from you and we'll talk"
"You don't have to sit far away from me, I won't try anything"
He looked at her in disbelieve
"I promise, I'll keep my hands to my self"
"Fine" he sat down and she took his hand in hers and crossed their fingers again
After a few moments of silent she giggled
"What was that all about?"
"You're funny"
"Why is that?"
"I'm not fragile Luke"
"I know that"
"I'm a woman"
"I noticed"
"Not a baby"
"Really?"
"Don't make fun of me, why are you so afraid of this... of me...?"
"I'm hardly afraid"
"So what's your excuse?"
"You're..."
"Rory... I get it, but I'm not the Rory you knew..."
"Still..."
"Why don't I just go, you're not comfortable with all this"
"Rory, I'm sorry, its just that your mom's still hanging on me with everything she said and she came by after you left this morning to try and talk me out of doing this and it's hard, o.k. it really is, seeing you here all grown up acting all sure of your self, kissing me, its weird"
"But..."
"I know o.k. you don't have to say it again, you're 25, you're all grown up and not the little girl I remember and tried to protect all the time, I get it, but still your mom was pretty serious, she's not going to make this easy for you, and the town, you know how they get, when they find out they'll look at me like I'm a pervert or something"
"They don't have to find out... I'm pretty good with this right here, I like being with you and spending time with you... this is all new for me too, this feelings, I never in a million years expected this to happened but you make me feel good and I'll tell you another thing, I don't know how you stayed single all these years kissing like that... I mean wow... really... wow... it's..."
"I get it, now would you please try not to analyze the way I kiss, I know you're a writer and you have this need to describe everything but please try not to..."
She started laughing "I'm embarrassing you that is so sweet"
"Rory"
"Luke"
"Stop that"
"Fine, fine, relax, I'm just teasing you..."
"I know, stop that..."
"And don't think I won't mock that speech you gave, I don't think I ever heard you speak so much, I honestly thought I'd have to give you C.P.R..."
"I'm glad you didn't"
"What's the matter don't like the way I kiss" she said pouting
"Oh don't give me that and don't think you can get me to describe the way you kiss I'm not falling for that one"
"Well, I tried anyway"
"Rory"
"Luke"
"Will you stop saying my name after I say yours, can't you answer straight"
"I like saying your name... don't get so grumpy..."
"You know what I mean... and I'm not getting grumpy... its who I am"
"I like you anyway..." he shot her a look "Fine, fine... yes Luke..."
"Jeez... annoying..."
"Sorry" she said hiding her smile
"Its late and stop hiding that smile..."
"Fine I'll go but you'll see me at breakfast tomorrow..."
"For more annoying moments"
"I won't annoy you if you asked me nicely, and if you don't give me coffee I'll just go to al's... no I take that back, but I wont annoy you I promise..."
"I'll believe it when I see it now come on"
They got up, fingers still together and walked downstairs, before they stepped into the diner she stopped, and searched for his eyes
"What?"
"Can I please kiss you good night?"
"Rory"
"Luke"
"oh, jeez..."
he leaned in placing a soft short kiss on her lower lip, pulling back she caught him and kissed him this time not so gently, her hands moved to his hair, his hands moved to her waist pulling her closer, she teased him with her tongue parting his lips she met his for a slow, hot, pleasurable dance around each other, his tongue was so warm she thought, she had to feel it on her body, she pulled back guiding his head to her neck, she closed her eyes as he traveled his tongue all the way up to her jaw and down, kissing, sucking gently she whispered his name he went back to meet her lips and she moaned against his wet mouth then he pulled away when both of them needed air, she opened her eyes and said
"Wow... lu..."
"Don't"
"o.k." she smiled and took his hand to lead him to the door, he opened it and she left him looking at her walking away.
She came home to find her mom on the porch waiting for her
"Mom, get inside its cold"
"Did you sleep with him?"
"No, mom, I didn't"
"Don't lie to me"
"Why would I lie to you?"
"Because you don't want me to freak out"
"Why would you freak out? I've had sex before, I lived with jack for a year, did you think we slept is separate rooms?"
"Oh Rory, at least he was your age"
"Stop it mom... just stop"
"Not until you tell me why him"
"Why don't you tell me why you're making such a big deal about this?"
"Rory, he's old"
"I don't care"
"He's Luke, he was like a father to you all these years"
"So what, I don't see him like that any more"
"You slept with him... oh my god..."
"Mom..."
"How could you?"
"What does that mean?"
"I mean how could you sleep with him?"
"I didn't sleep with him mom, we just talked, why are you acting like this?"
"Just talked... yeah right, I know him, he probably tricked you with his big blue eyes and shy smile, you're so naïve..."
"Just so you know, I wanted to but he stopped me, he couldn't... because of you"
"What... me...?" she asked with a hopeful look
"Yeah he said he can't stop thinking about everything you said today and last night, that maybe we really shouldn't do this"
"Oh..." she said in a disappointed voice
"Oh my god you thought... you thought he was still in love with you, you thought that's why he couldn't..."
"I did not"
"Mom I'm not stupid I heard that disappointed tone... Mom do you love him... tell me the truth..."
They heard the front door open and David said
"Honey its cold and it's late what are you doing outside?"
"Just talking to Rory sweetie I'll be up in a minute" she kissed him and Rory went inside
"Good night Rory"
"I'm not done talking to you I'm just changing for bed"
"Oh yes you are"
Rory stepped out of her room pushing her mom to the room closing the door behind them
"Do you love him?"
"David? Yes very much"
"Mom do you love him?"
"Of course I don't, I'm married"
"So I can be with him if I want"
"No you can't, Rory why can't you see that this is bad"
"How can it be bad when he makes me feel so good?"
"Does he know how he makes you feel?"
"Yes he does, I told him"
"God how can he even consider being with you...? I can't deal with this I'm going to bed"
"Mom, wait... can you at least try to understand, I feel good around him, aren't you glad that I'm happy?"
"Do what ever you want but don't expect me to be happy for you"
And she left Rory's room and went upstairs.
