Chapter 2:
I'm Just A Boy Who Can't Take NO!

Chris froze. Lorelai was trying to think fast. Glancing at the clock again. 7:06. Over the years, she had gotten to know Luke very well; She could imagine how he would react to find Christopher here. What would she say? How could she possibly explain this was not her wish or her fault. At the same time, she longed for Luke, just beyond the front door, to save her from this Twilight Zone. The Fates have a sick sense of humor! Why I can't just be happy? With her hand on the door knob, she took a deep breath to prepare for the argument ahead. And she opened the door.

"Oh No!" half disbelief, and half unbearable disappointment, she sunk further still. And she offered a thought to the Powers-That-Be "You are hilarious! You know that; Firggin' Hilarious!! This can't be happening."

Jason Stiles was standing in her doorway. "I need to talk to you", he entered her home; Again, without invitation, "IS that the phrase of the day? Some National holiday? I need to talk to Lorelai Day!" She groweld through clenched teeth, her anger growing by the mili-second, slamming the door, ...Again,... this time with a more forceful fury. Fists clenched, She was sure any moment steam would come out of her ears. She wanted to strangle both of them. But where would I hide the bodies? Another joke, just for the sake of sanity. Jason made his way past her into the hall, and met Chris by the stairs.

"Chris?" Jason asked confused.

"Do I know you?"

"Jason Stiles." Offering his hand "The three of us actually went to summer camp together."

"OH right," The two men shook hands, "I heard about what happened with your dad. I thought my folks were rough."

"Yeah, well, you make what you can of it!"Jason said, with an annoying perserverant smile.

By this point, Lorelai was fustrated beyond belief with her rotten luck. "EXCUSE ME!!" she screamed, her cheeks ablaze with fire, eyes shooting daggers. "This is my house, not a camp reunion! You both have to leave! NOW!!"

"I'm not leaving till we talk about 'US'" Jason imposed.

"Wait, he's the boyfriend?" Chris questioned.

Jason seemed please by that; He stated proudly and firmly "YES, I am."

Lorelai disagreed "NO, you're NOT!"

"YES, I am." He reminded Lorelai, as if she had amenesia.

"NO, you're NOT!" she slowly stressed.

"YES, I am." He said, in total denial.

"Alright, we ARE back at Summer Camp!" Lorelai threw up her hands.

Jason continued to plead his case "Lorelai, I dropped the lawsuit, I will not loose you over something so futile. Before all of the business double-crossing happened,... I fully intended to propose. I want you for the rest of my life. Can't you see we're a match, We fit, We work, We're...

"Don't say it!" she warned, with a pointed finger.

"...Meant to be" he finished.

"GGAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" she yelped. With ferocity, she now torn into Jason. "Listen Digger, I don't know how many ways I can say it. We're over, fini, through, ancient history. YOU can't sue my dad and expect me to be okay with it..."

"I told you I dropped the..."

"HEY! STILL TALKING!!..." taking command of the situation again. "Frankly, your Stalking tendancies have me a little concerned. There is a difference between romantically trying to win me back, and just being a crazy obssessed freak, ingoring the obvious. You come when you are not wanted, you send flowers to the Inn, you keep forcing an issuse that has long been settled. I know you're not used to disappointment, but Get over it! You have to accept My "It's OVER" for what it is, and move on!! As far as the alleged proposal; Wow! There is no chance in HELL I would even consider that question in reference to you. YOU are not the guy for me. First off, my parents hate you. I didn't think it possible, but our sneaking around, managed to shove an even bigger wedge between me and the elder Gilmores. After years of rebuilding, I'm back at square one, thanks alot!!! Second, You physically embody all that I ran away from, many moons ago. You try to control me Jason; eating at werid resturants you pick out, telling me where I can sleep, insisting that we have something to save. I have my own mind, and I made up my mind 6 weeks ago when I said 'it's over!!' And now, you are walking right into a Restraining Order; Hopelessly, trying to make me choose you over someone I am really happy with."

"Who? Chris?"

"No, Damn it, Luke!"

"Duke, the diner guy?" he choke out with skepticism.

"Who's Duke?" Chris asked, clearly out of the loop.

"He's name is Luke and Yes!" She said evenly.

"You can't be serious. What could he possible offer you."

"Offer me? Well for one, peace and quiet when I ask for it." she mocked the stalker tendancies. "And a father figure for Rory, when none was present," she dedicated that to Chris with a hard gaze, to assure him that she hadn't forgotten about him. "A shoulder when I need it, a partner in everything I do. A true friend, who has always been there. The man makes all the food I love, and best coffee in the World!! The list goes on and on..."

Chris interrupted "Lor, I'm offering a chance to complete our family. To finish what we started."

Jason stepped in to defend his "property", "Excuse me, don't you already have a family in Boston? Do you have some strange need to spread your seed throughout New England?"

"Me? Strange? Hey, At least I don't go all Fatal Arraction, and force myself on the lady, when she is obviously over you!!"

"I'm Over Both of You, now get the Hell out of my HOUSE!"

"No, not until we work this out" Jason demanded, just as stubborn as ever.

"There is nothing to workout! With either of you!"

Both vying for attention like Michel's Chow puppies.

"Lor, you love me."

"No, she's in love with ME!", Jason insisted, Again with the Crazy Eyes!

"I'M IN LOVE WITH LUKE!!" she hollared at the top of her lungs, ... and then she gasped. It was the first time she said that out loud. It only been a month since the kiss on the porch, but she was positive. I'm in Love with Luke. She was never more certain of anything in her entire life. Then, she seemed to realize that it was Luke that she loved all along. That's why she didn't marry Max. That was why when they were fighting and not speaking, it hurt so much. That is why when he married Nicole she had to wallow for an entire week, depressed that he had moved away starting a new life with someone else. This love for him has been there for years. It had come on so stealthily, she didn't even recognize it. Luke and her hadn't even had sex yet, and she was sure Luke was the One; Everything she's ever wanted and searched for. Luke was the whole package.

The trio fell silent, the boys with mouths gaped; Lorelai panting, taking in the enomity of what she finally admited.

Knock! Knock!

Oh Peter, Paul, and Mary, What Now?

TBC
Wait!!!!! There's More!! Insert Yet Another Wink Trust me!!

Coming soon:
Chapter 3:
You Won't Like Me When I'm Angry!

PS. How am I doing?

A/N: during an insominac fit, I got to thinking: Crazy Stalker Man(Jason) probably won't give up Lorelai without a fight with Luke. Then I considered Chris' imminent return(the bastard) and figure the same would be true of Chris. Three men, one woman, don't like them odds. Even more fun is that the two Exes( J C) Knew each other at camp, have a history, DOUBLE TROUBLE, and I thought would make a great story. Plus it's just another (all be it dramatic) way for L/L to admit they love each other AWWWWWWWW. or just a really good excuse to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

What do you think?
