Chapter Three: A Never Forgetting Night

They walked in silence to Luke's truck. He opened the door for her and she climbed in. When they started driving, the conversation finally began.

"So, where are we headed." She asked.

"Well, I figured you had already eaten. Am I right?"

"Well, Rory and I went shopping, so I couldn't resist. Plus I wasn't sure if we were planning on going anywhere, so...I ate." She admitted.

"You ate...what?"

"1 Caramello Bar, 1 Snickers, 6 oreos, 2 chocolate chip cookies, 3 spoonfuls of cookie dough, and a banana."

"You ate a banana?" He asked, surprised.

"Actually, that's a lie. I just thought that I'd throw in something healthy so that you'd have some respect for me." She said.

"Well, as long as it's only your insides that you're rotting. But of course, I still have respect for you."

"Well good. So, I repeat my question. Where are we headed?"

"Well, since I fell asleep when I was at your house for movie night, I didn't get to finish Casablanca. And I know that you love that movie...so, that's where we're headed."

"Wow. Luke. We are going to see Casablanca? This movie is 10 times better in the theaters. Even if I hated you, I'd still see this with you...again." She said, laughing a little.

"Glad to know." He said dryly.

"But of course I don't hate you." She said, turning towards Luke and smiling. He smiled back, but not facing her. They were silent for a moment, enjoying there silence.

"And afterwards, we might as well go back to the diner and get some pie since today is your favorite kind. Is that okay?"

"You don't even have to ask!"

"Lorelai?"

"Yeah?"

"I was just wondering...since we're on a date and all, if you wanted to keep this between you and I for now. I'm perfectly fine either way, but I do know that you are next door neighbors to Babette."

"I'm glad that after all these years, you actually know who my neighbor is. Impressive young man." She said sarcastically.

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was if the town knew we were dating, or should I just say Miss Patty and Babette, you would constantly be bombarded with questions and since Babette lives right next to you, it won't make it much easier." He responded.

"Yeah, I see what you mean. I didn't realize we were full blown dating!" Lorelai said as Luke tossed her a look of disdain, "But yes I think we should keep us dating, and this date, under wraps. Until further ado."

"Sounds good." He said.

They drove in silence for a few more minutes, Lorelai was gazing out her window, concentrating on her surroundings.

"Thanks." She said.

"For what?"

"For wanting to protect me."

"Anytime." They talked for a little big longer until they finally got to the theater. They got out of the car, and Luke got the tickets.

"I'm assuming you want food?" He asked.

"Oh please. How could you come to the movies, and not eat food?"

"What'll ya have?"

"Popcorn. Oh and redvines! You always have to have redvines at the movies!"

They got their food, and walked into the theater. It was pretty crowded, so they got two seats in the middle of a row towards the back. Nobody else was sitting in their row, just the two of them. As the movie began to play, Lorelai was extremely into it, repeating lines and all.

"You know, that does get annoying after a while." Luke whispered to her.

Lorelai grinned at him and said, "I know. Which is why I'm doing it. Because I'm annoying."

She leaned in closer towards Luke. Although their was arm rests in between them, she tried to get closer to him. He noticed, and decided to take action. He put his arm around her, and she cuddled against his chest as much as she could. They sat like that for almost the whole movie. Everything just seemed so comfortable, for the both of them. When it was almost Lorelai's favorite part of the movie, she knew she had to recite the lines. She knew that she'd have to get out of the position she was sitting in though.

"Sorry in advance." Lorelai whispered.

"Why?"

She didn't answer him. A few minutes later, she moved positions. She sat on her knees in her seat. She was acting like she was 6. When it came to her favorite part, she recited the conversation, and when she was done, she turned to Luke to see his reaction.

"You're crazy. Do you know that?" He asked.

"Of course I knew that, silly. But you enjoyed that."

"Yeah, of course..."

He began to move closer to her face. "You know you did. And you loved every line I recited." She said, and she moved her head so that her forehead was pressed against his, and they were both smiling at each other for a few seconds.

"Oh why not." She whispered quietly, and went in for a kiss.

She gently planted a small kiss on Luke's lips. It didn't last long, but it was great. For the both of them. When she pulled away, he put his arm around her, and she leaned against him yet again, for the rest of the movie.

When the movie ended, they got up and walked out to the car. It was chilly outside, even for a summer night, so he lightly put his arms around her as they walked to the car. He opened the door for her, and then got in himself. He took off, and headed back to Stars Hollow. They talked a little bit in the car. Mostly about the movie. When they finally reached the diner, Lorelai glanced at the clock, she had no idea what time it was. It was almost 11:00. Where had the time gone? Of course driving to the movie and back took about an hour, and the movie was almost 2 hours, so that explained it.

They walked into the diner, and Luke closed the door and blinds behind him. Just in case somebody was around. Lorelai sat down at the counter, and Luke walked past her as he gently brushed his hands against her back. He walked behind the counter and started the coffee. He cut her a piece of pie, and watched her eat it.

"Why are you staring at me? Do I have something on my face?" She asked.

"Naw...I'm just. I don't know what I'm doing." He replied.

She patted the seat next to her. "Come sit."

He walked around the counter, and sat down next to her. He put one hand on her leg, and began staring at her again.

"I think you want some pie. Open wide!" She said, putting a piece of pie on her fork and directed it towards his mouth.

"Lorelai, don--" He began. She stuck the pie in his mouth and when he finally swallowed it he started telling her how uncalled for that was. She realized that he had part of a strawberry right above his top lip.

"You, uhh,..." She gestured towards his lip, and he aimlessly tried to wipe it off, but completely missed.

"Here." She leaned in very close to his face, and lifted her finger to his lip, slowly wiping over the strawberry off. He leaned in, and kissed her. He took her by surprise. This time it was more than just a peck on the lips.

"That was so nick-at-nite." She whispered to herself, giggling a little.

"What?" He asked, not hearing her.

"Oh...nothing." They continued talking and having a great time, until Lorelai glanced at her watch, shocked at how late it was, she thought it was time to leave.

"I better get going. It's almost 12:15."

"Oh, yeah." Luke started walking towards the door with Lorelai right behind him.

"I'll walk you home. I'd say we should take the car, but it's a nice night." Luke said opening the door.

"Most definitely." She said, smiling at him.

They walked out of the diner, feeling safe that it was too late for anybody to see them. He put his arm around the top of her back, so that she was leaning into him while they were walking. They talked a little, and then just enjoyed the silence for the rest of the time. When they finally got to Lorelai's front porch, she turned and faced him.

"I had an amazing time tonight." She began. "Thanks for everything."

"Yeah, so did I. It was a lot of fun, maybe we should do this again sometime?"

"I would enjoy that." She said smiling at him.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, as she wrapped hers around his neck, and they kissed passionately. Much like the kiss at the Inn. Her body almost felt numb from how good it felt to kiss him like that. It just felt so comfortable. She pulled back and smiled.

"Goodnight, Luke."

"Goodnight."

She walked into the house, smiled and winked at him, and closed the door. She leaned against the door, closing her eyes and smiling to herself. She finally pulled her strength and walked over to Rory's room. Surprised, she was still up. She was sitting on her bed writing in a notebook.

"I'm glad you're still up." She said, walking into Rory's room.

"Mom, hey! How was it?" Rory asked. "It was...amazing. I couldn't have had a better time. Well, I suppose I could have if those two idiot kids weren't sitting in front of us making out the whole time. And if they weren't making out, they were talking."

"And you weren't talking?" Rory questioned.

"Well, I was quiet, okay?"

"I'm sure." Rory began.

"So, details please." "Well, first he leaned in and kissed her. I think her name was Christine, but I wouldn't make any life changing bets on it, and then, she pulle--" Lorelai began before Rory cut her off.

"I'm not talking about the people in front of you, you idiot. I'm talking about you and Luke."

"Oh, that. Well, we went to see Casablanca, as you already know, and we had a really relaxing time. Then, he proposed, and we went to one of those 24 hour wedding chapels, and Rory, sweetie, we're married. She showed her a diamond looking ring on her finger.

"MOM. WHAT?" Rory screamed.

"I'm kidding. Calm down. I've gotta tell Luke that worked though. I made a bet that you would believe me. I got it out of a 25 cent machine, golly!" Lorelai stated.

"You almost gave me a heart attack. Can we act normal now?" She asked.

"Yeah, well, then we went to the diner, and ate pie, and then he walked me home. It was really fun, and romantic, and comfortable. I hope he ask's me out again."

"I'm sure he will." Rory said.

"Yeah, I hope, but this is all so crazy! Of all people for me to have an incredible night with, it's Luke, my friend Luke." Lorelai sighed, and Rory just smiled at her. "Well, I'm pooped. I'm going up to bed. Goodnight, babe." She kissed Rory goodnight and started to walk out of her room.

"Mom?"

"Yeah, hun?"

"I know this might sound like I'm 4 again, but...I was wondering if I could sleep up there with you, for tonight?" Rory asked, kind of embarrassed.

Lorelai new that Rory felt awkward and uncomfortable in her room after the other night with Dean.

"As long as you don't hog all the blankets." Lorelai said, smiling at her.

"Promise."

The girls walked up to Lorelai's room and got ready for bed. Finally, they hoped in bed and Lorelai turned out the lights.

"You're happy." Rory said quietly.

"I am." Lorelai said, smiling at herself.

"I wish I was as happy as you are." Rory said with a sad tone in her voice.

"Oh sweetie, you will be soon. Everything will be fine." Lorelai said sympathetically.

"I hope so. Goodnight, mom. I love you."

"I love you too, kid." Lorelai said. "Rory? I hope you don't take offense to me calling you kid now. You know what I mean. Right?"

"Yeah, sorry I flipped out the other night." Rory said.

"It happens." The girls feel asleep and got up around 10:30 the next morning. They both took showers and got dressed.

"Wanna go to Luke's?" Rory asked.

"You don't even have to ask." Lorelai said, smiling to herself.
