Let us suppose that:
Lorelai owns the diner. She is not the world's biggest hazard in the kitchen.
Rory is Lorelai's daughter and yes she goes to Chilton.
Lorelai and Rory live in their big house, the diner apartment is an office.
Luke is the new resident in town. He's a carpenter.
Things are exactly the same as for the rest of the people of stars hollow.
Pattie and Babette are still Babette and Miss Pattie.
Taylor is still annoying as always.
Sookie and Jackson are together.
Basically this is somewhere in the first season.
Disclaimer: in my own little imaginary world I own the Gilmore girls and this wonderful creation, but since this is real life, I do not own any of the characters I'm using for this crazy fiction.
A/N: Ok, I know I shouldn't have just stopped where I did, so for what it's worth, I'm sorry for the little cliff-hanger. It's just that the first kiss scene was so long and I felt it deserves its own chapter. Thank you so much for being patient with me and with this story.
New guy Luke
CHAPTER 9
He took a step towards me and I could feel his hand on my waist, gently bringing me closer. My eyes slowly traveled the hand on my waist, then his arm then his chest till our eyes met. He looked nervous so I smiled and he smiled back.
I felt his fingers searching for my other hand, I shivered when our fingers made contact and pulled back to lean against the wall. He closed the gap and the hand that was down my waist went to my cheek, mine rested safe on his waist.
I bit my lower lip and smiled shyly just to see him smile back with his pretty bleu eyes. His warm hand on my cheek just added to the warmth of my blush from feeling him so close.
Finely, after what seemed like forever he leaned in slowly looking deeply into my eyes and our lips met, softly. I closed my eyes and let him guide me and sweep me off my feet, literally.
My knees were about to crash and I couldn't let that happen. I freed myself from his fingers and sent both my hands over his shoulders and around his neck. His lips tasted like the perfect pie I haven't eaten yet and I needed more so I pulled him close and deepened the kiss.
He followed my every move and allowed my tongue to part his lips and meet his. A low moan escaped my throat as they made contact. I didn't want to let him go, not yet. The sensation and the warmth of his touch and his tongue sent shivers up my spine, I couldn't think.
He pulled back and I slowly opened my eyes "so…" was all I could say "so…" he repeated as my hand slowly slid down and rested on his chest "I really need you to go back to the diner now…" I said and he took a step back "ok" he answered still looking into my eyes
And again the eyes I couldn't resist and my now cold lips from the absent of his lips that begged me for more "you know what? The diner is empty anyway" I said and grabbed his plaid shirt "come closer" I whispered and he did
His hand gently brushed my hair to the back and his thumb slowly lined my jaw knees weak again the way he touched me, I never had a clue how gentle he could be and how soft his touch would feel.
I have imagined this moment for so long and let me tell you, it wasn't even close, it was a hundred times better. My eyes closed as he caressed my cheek with his thumb and then I felt his breath on my lips and I let my hands slid down to his waist and pulled him a little closer.
His tender lips closed in on my lower lip and I moaned in pleasure, as quiet as I could. Our lips started moving in the same pace slowly but eagerly I'm kissing the new guy… ok, you have got to stop calling him the new guy… he has a name, a nice name… starts with an L ends with an E Luke, nice name… I can't believe you're rambling inside your head too… stop that… God, where did he learn to kiss like that… it's been ages since I moaned in a guy's mouth… I cant even put in words how good kissing him felt, something like heaven with the biggest video collection and the biggest junk food market… that's how it felt, like heaven and the feel of his tongue oh my God his tongue, waltzing inside my mouth, I cant breathe I pulled back,slowly opening my eyes to meet his smile "hey" he said
"Hey" I answered "so I guess that means…"
"Yes…" he smiled
"Good, good…"
We stood there for a while just looking into each other's eyes. His smile, his smell, the heat washing over my body from being so close to him made me forget I was in the diner, till I heard the sound of the bell and woke up
"Shit" I let out as he pulled back
"Sorry…"
"Why are you sorry?" I whispered
"I don't know… the shit…" he panicked
"No… don't be sorry… it was… huh… I have to… you know… get back… so… I'll… amm…" I was cut off of my rambling with his lips yet again on mine, short and soft
When he pulled back he said "go back to work… is there a back way I could use?"
"Yeah, right this way"
"Lorelai? Is anyone here?" I heard Kirk call
"Why is he back?" I whispered to Luke that was still standing there since I forgot to release him from my grip "I'm in my office Kirk, be there in a minute" I called back
"Ok" he answered
"Don't leave yet, its just Kirk and he doesn't know you're here"
"Ok. I like you whispering" he teased
"Shut up"
"You should try it more often"
"This is nice"
"What is?" he asked traveling his hands on my shoulders down to my arms
"This… you know…"
"Yeah, it's nice"
"Ok, so… I'll see you later?" I asked releasing him from my grip
"Yes you will"
"Good" I smile and brought both my hands to cup his cheeks
He leaned in to kiss me again, more passionate this time something I didn't see coming. As I smiled through the kiss I moved my hand to the back of his head and pulled him closer.
We stood there, I don't know for how long, just kissing, forgetting about the time, the diner, kirk. if I could I would've taken him to my office upstairs and make love to him this very minute, I've waited too long for this, but at least we're here, that's all that matters.
As he pulled back, my eyes were still closed when I whispered "you really need to go now"
"Ok" he whispered back and placed a soft kiss on my burning cheek
"Bye Luke"
"See you later Lorelai"
I opened my eyes and he was gone, before I could take one last look at him, he disappeared through the back door.
This is finely happening Lorelai, you better not screw this up. My God I cant believe it, I guess I should just say thank you and go back to work… wait who am I thanking? Luke… I'm thanking Luke… boy was I right about the cool hand thing… what hands…
"Lorelai?"
"Damn Kirk" I said and went back into the diner
The day went by fast and before I knew it was evening, thank God it was a busy day. Rory came by to tell me she's going to lane for a while and then right before I was about to switch the sign she walked in
"Hallo, you must be Lorelai"
"Yes I am"
"I'm Nicole Leahy, Taylor's lawyer"
"Look I'm about to close…"
"I know that's why I came by now, Taylor says it's pretty busy here all day so I figured I'd stop by when you close up"
"This is a really bad time, I have many things to finish here"
"I won't be long"
"You're not taking no for an answer are you?"
"No"
"Ok, sit down"
"Thank you. So, I have the papers here…"
"I told Taylor no, and I'm telling you no too… I will not rent him the place next to the diner"
"Why not?"
"Because I don't want to… and I don't like him and I don't like lawyers too and the minute he brought his lawyer into this made me even more determined then ever. The answer is no…"
"Why don't you like lawyers?"
"I just don't"
"People like you tend to dislike lawyers because they don't understand what they are talking about most of the time, I could…"
"Excuse me? What do you mean by people like me? Are you suggesting I'm ignorant? Because let me tell you something, you don't know anything about me…"
"I'm just saying…"
"I know what you're saying and I don't like that patronizing tone of yours, the fact that I live in a small town and run a diner does not make me stupid or ignorant…"
"So you will not change your mind? You don't even want to hear how much he's willing to pay?"
"I don't care how much he wants to pay, I said no…" and then Luke opened the door and the smile he had on his face when he saw me was gone the minute he saw Nicole
"Luke, hi" Nicole said
"Hi, what are you doing in town?"
"I have a client that lives here"
"Oh. Ok…" he said and then looked at me "are you closed?"
"Yes, we're closed"
"Ok, well good night" he said and turned to leave
"Wait Luke, can I talk to you?" she asked him
"Sure" he answered
"Thank you for your time Lorelai"
"Yeah. Good night"
They both went outside leaving me in the diner. I closed the lights and went to the window, he walked her to her car and they talked for a while and then she got into her car and drove away. I took my keys and opened the door to find Luke standing there
"Hi" he said but I didn't answer "ok, I know that face, they say stay away from me for your own good" he said and smiled blocking my way "you want to tell me what's wrong?"
"No."
"Ok, why don't I just come by tomorrow when you feel better?"
"Luke wait, I'm sorry… I had a busy day and I'm tired and I had to deal with her and let me tell you, she's not a very nice lawyer… she's rude and arrogant and she works for Taylor…"
He smiled "what are you smiling about?"
"She works for Taylor…that's what bothered you… not that she's my ex wife but that fact that she works for Taylor…"
I smiled back "well yeah, you know how much I hate him…"
"Yeah I know… I've only witnessed 10 of Lorelai verses Taylor fights… you definitely don't like him…"
"I'm tired"
"Come on, I'll drive you home"
"On your white horse and carriage?"
"Well, my green truck is all I have"
"That'll do"
"Like you have a choice"
We got into the car and when he started driving he asked "so, was she really not nice to you?"
"Yeah…"
"What did she say?"
"She insinuated that I'm ignorant because I ran a diner and live here?"
"Why would she?"
"Because I told her I don't like lawyers so she immediately assumed I was stupid and ignorant"
"Well, she can be like that sometimes"
"Thanks for the heads up…"
"Sorry… so what did you tell her?"
"That she doesn't know anything about me"
"That makes two of us"
"I don't know that much about you either"
"I guess we'll have to change that"
"I guess" I smiled to myself
"Is there a chance you can get someone to close for you sometimes this week?"
"Why?"
"I don't know, I was thinking… that huh… maybe… huh…"
"ok, I'm teasing you, you're gonna have to work on the full sentences though if you want to go through a whole date with me… you know, because I don't talk at all and you're gonna have to do the talking…"
"Yeah… I know… so when are you free?"
"Well, why don't you pick a day and I'll work with my schedule"
"Ok, great… how about Wednesday? That'll give you time to work on your schedule"
"Ok, Wednesday…"
"I'll see you then… I'll see you before that but I'll see you then too"
"Ok, I'll see you then too. You want to come inside?"
"Na… I'm gonna go, you're tired"
"You sure? Because I don't mind"
"That's ok… I'll see you in the morning"
"Ok… so what now?" I asked
"What do you mean?"
"I mean… you know… well, never mind… night Luke, thanks for the ride" I said getting out of the car
"Night"
don't do that Lorelai… don't push it… if he wants to kiss you he knows what to do, he did it this morning… as I closed the door and leaned against it I sent my fingers to my lips remembering his taste and warmth and smiled I can wait, we do have a date on Wednesday and I know he'd have to kiss me then so all good, not worried…
The knock on the door straddled me and I jumped. Surprised to find Luke outside I smiled and asked "did you change your mind?"
"I need to tell you something"
Ok, I did it again… sorry…
I said drama free so keep that thought…
Thank you so much for the reviews and for reading.I feel silly sometimes saying this but really, you guys are great for everything you write.I am grateful. So again thank you very much.
Ok, I finely figured my favorite Gilmore girls line isand thought i'd share it with you guys - behold the healing powers of a bath. Admit it, this is a great line... Luke can sure clean up nice.
So, on that note, I'll go with my closing line and I warn you again not to use this line – its mine! And ASP's… but that's beside the point.
GO GO GET
