Chapter 1: It's Cause I'm Lorelai- Luke & Lorelai
It was around 7 when Lorelai got home from work and the diner the next day. With The Dragonfly opening next week, Lorelai figured now was a good time for Luke to be away so she wouldn't be...distracted. She still went to the diner, just to get her daily fix on coffee though. Even though Sookie's coffee was probably better than Caesars she still went because she would miss the place if she didn't go. Even if Luke wasn't there, she'd still miss not going everyday. After all, that diner's a second home to her. She walked in and immediately headed over to the answering machine to see if anybody (she was hoping more or less that it would be Luke) called. The little dot was blinking and it read "2." She sat down and pressed play.
"Hello Lorelai, it's your mother. We just wanted to let you know that we arrived safely and that we'll call you again soon. Hope things are well with you. Goodbye."
Lorelai groaned and silently prayed that it would be Luke on the next message.
"Hey it's me..."
Boy was she relieved to hear his voice.
"Listen, I just wanted to talk to you, so give me a call whenever you get this message. I'll talk to you later. Bye."
As soon as the message ended she grabbed the portable and headed into the kitchen to get something to eat. She rapidly punched the numbers in the phone that she memorized since the first time she heard the message when he said them.
"Hello?" Luke answered.
"The coffee sucks." She said, stating her point.
"Well, hello to you too."
"This isn't going to work. I think you need to come home."
"I know I wish I could."
"So, I had a pretty long day at work and decided to go over to the diner. And being the busy diner rush that it was, I took the liberty to sit at the counter, instead of taking up a whole table. And after waiting about I dunno, 2 minutes, I was fed up that I had no service..."
"I see..."
"And ya know, when you're there, you normally attend to me right away, because well, you're an adoring fan of mine, but you're not there..."
"No I'm not..."
"So I thought that I'd cut the guys there some slack and I went behind the counter and got my own cup."
"Did you."
"I did. And Caesar was in the kitchen cooking...obviously, and that new guy that you just hired a few weeks came up to me and are you ready for this?"
"I'm ready."
"He yelled at me."
"You're kidding!" Luke said in a mock tone voice.
"I kid you not, mister. I mean, I'm thinking of boycotting the diner until you get back."
Luke paused for a second. "Well, what if I told you I wasn't coming back for a month?"
"Then I'd have to suffer some serious with drawl...and from more than one thing, if you know what I mean."
"Well...I'm not coming back for a month."
Lorelai's mouth dropped. Luke, of all people, do not leave Stars Hollow for a month. It's just...not in his characters description. He wakes up, quarter to five every single day, serves people till 9, and then closes the diner and heads up stairs around 10:30, and goes to sleep till quarter to five. That's how it goes every single day. Never, does Luke leave Stars Hollow. And when he does, it's for a day or two. Nothing more. Ever.
"Whaaaaat?" She whined.
"Liz and T.J. are really hurt, and...apparently need more help than I thought."
"Don't they have friends?" She said, half kidding.
"Well..." Luke began.
"Don't answer that. I was kidding. Tell them I hope that they feel better...soon."
"I will."
"So, a month." She stated.
"A month."
"And just when things were getting...good." She said slowly.
"Believe me, I really don't want to be here."
"I don't want you to be there either."
"I promise things will be good when I get back."
"Good."
"So...are you still going to boycott the diner?"
"I don't think that's possible. But I do think that you're going to have to pull a few strings for me."
"Oh yeah?"
"I think you're going to have to call there, and tell them–well, just that new guy, who I am."
"Yeah..."
"You're going to tell them that if this amazing looking woman walks in, she gets anything she wants." She pointed out.
"Alright..."
"And you know what I get whatever I want?" She asked him.
"Why?"
"Because I am Lorelai."
"You sure are."
"And I'm stubborn and get whatever I want. And since I have to be drinking bad coffee for the next month, I think I should at least get some good service."
"Okay, well I'll make sure that I call there right away." He said sarcastically.
"Good. Glad to know."
"Good."
"So, a months a long time ya know? Aren't you going to get a little homesick?"
"I don't get homesick." He said dryly.
"Just a little?!" She pestered.
"Not at all."
"Well, I think you're going to get a little Lorelai sick. And that's not because I'm sick, but it's because you will miss me!" She chirped into the phone. Little did she know, he would really miss her. He already does.
"Yeah, I think I'll miss you." He said as manly as he could.
"Yeah, well I think I'll miss you too." She said like a little girl.
"Well, now that we've got that covered."
"Hey, a girls gotta check. I don't know what you're doing out there. I'm sure you've been hit on by all those Maine chicks out there."
"I can't say I have. And that's okay with me."
"Good. So, T.J. and Liz are pretty bad, huh?" She asked.
"Yeah, they have a doctors appointment next week. There going to get a few more tests done."
"How did they get hurt?"
"Fell off a horse."
Lorelai started to laugh, but tried to hide it before Luke heard her. "You're kidding."
"Yeah, it was a car accident."
"Wow, you've all of a sudden turned into a sarcastic Luke." She said, smiling into the phone.
"What can I say? I'm a changed man."
"Well, Luke...if I can still call you that...I've got to get going. I promised Sookie I'd stop by in a little bit, we have to go over some boring paper work."
"Alright."
"But, I'll talk to you later, okay? What time is it?"
"Uh, 7:30."
"Call me later okay?" She hesitated. "Tonight. I mean, if you're up and all."
"I'll be up."
"Good, cause I'll be up too." Boy this was taking an awkward turn.
"Well, I'd hope so, if you're asking me to call you."
"Goodbye Luke!"
"Talk to you later, Lorelai."
She hung up the phone and stared down at it.
'Gosh, that was weird.' She thought to herself. 'I didn't know I could flirt so well over the phone!'
