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.
New guy Luke
CHAPTER 12
Just pretend, I'm holding you
And whispering things soft and low
And think of me, how it's gonna be,
Just pretend I didn't go
When I walked away, I heard you say
If you need me, you know what to do
I knew it then, I'd be back again
Just pretend I'm right there with you
And I'll come flying to you, oh yes
All the crying is true
Oh, I will hold you and love you again
But until then, well just pretend
Oh, it's funny but I can't recall the things
We said or why you're crying
But now I know it was wrong to go
I belong here by your side
And I'll come flying to you, oh yes
All the crying is true
Oh, I will hold you and love you again
But until then, well just pretend
Being in his arm dancing to this sad song, I felt like I never ever want him to leave. There's something about a man saying all those sad things yet so full of hope that he will come back to the arms of his love one day. There's something that makes you feel that there is hope for good men. Of course this particularly man singing in the back round was divorced and a cheater but the thought is what counts and this singer was the best of all times, the way he sang women use to cry just hearing his voice. he did please women in more then just singing. Maybe there are good men out there. One of them was holding me now and moving to the slow beat of the song. His hand held me down my waist, his other in mine on his chest. Luke. New guy Luke. Where did he come from bursting into my life? Actually it was me bursting into his when you think about it…

"So, do you like Elvis?" I asked
"Do you know any guys that like Elvis?" he countered and took a sip from his water
"I don't know, I'll ask when I see one"
"Why are you asking?"
"Because that's him singing now and I know you don't dance but how about you make an exception?"
"Isn't the guy supposed to ask the woman to dance?"
"You're trying to make it to the end of the song with all these questions aren't you? Not gonna work mister, come on… just this once, I really like this song"
"Fine, let's go"
My cheek was against his when the last tunes of the song played, I pulled back just a little to meet his eyes. He was calm, and smiling.
"Not bad this Elvis guy" he said
"Yeah, some say he's pretty good"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah… you should try dancing more often, you're not so bad"
"Thanks I guess" he said and took my hand
"What, no more dancing?"
"Don't push your luck"
"Fine…" I said as I followed him back to our table "you're lucky I'm tired and don't feel much like dancing"
"Oh, I feel very lucky"
"You're teasing me…" I said sitting down "that's not how you treat a lady on the first date"
"I'll try better next time"
"When we see Casablanca…" I said excitingly
"Oh, that…" he replied in his regular dry tone
"Hey you can't run away from this mister…"
"I'm not running away"
"I like the sound of that" I smiled at him "so, this night was very productive, we learned a lot about each other and I now know that you're a buffet head"
"Glad to see you're enjoying yourself"
"Hey, what time is it?" I asked
"9.30, does Rory keep you on curfew?"
"No, I'm a big girl"
"I see you found something to wear after all the nagging" he looked down to my dress
"You like?"
"I hardly recognized you when you answered the door, never seen you in a dress before"
"Cant wear a dress for the diner"
"So, how did your parents take it when they found out you work at a diner?"
"Ohh, it wasn't pretty trust me… and it was even worse when they came to see where I work"
"I can imagine"
"But they don't understand… I love this town and the people… I love the diner and its fun to work there… this is my home, where Rory grew up… I love it there"
"Yeah, but don't worry about them, you just live your life and let them live theirs…"
"The problem is I can't… they pay for Rory's school, they are in our lives…"
"Really? So you did go and ask them for help"
"Yeah, but it was for Rory not me…"
"Rory is you…"
"I know, but I couldn't pay for it and Rory needs Chilton to get into an Ivy League collage…"
"Well, I think it was very brave of you"
"Thanks, Rory said that too"
"So, how often do you see them?"
"We see them on holidays and we talk on the phone basically"
"Uh huh…" he said nodding, listening to my every word
"My mother had this crazy idea about weekly dinners but I cant because of the diner so Rory goes there once a week after school, it's her they want to see so it worked out great"
"What makes you say that?"
"They don't approve of me, its not news to me… I'm ok with them not liking me… they will never forgive me for taking Rory away from them when she was a baby and I'll never forgive them for the awful childhood I had… they never cared about what I wanted and tried to make me something I'm not and I hated that…"
"But they gave you everything they had I'm sure"
"Everything I didn't need" I answered
"Well sure but they didn't know that… I'm sure they did the best they could"
"Sure they did… look I'm not saying they were bad parents but the life I lived there, that wasn't me… I'm not the country club girl and the fancy parties and charities… I think that even if I didn't have Rory then, I would still run away because it wasn't who I was… and let us not forget my real plan before I knew of Rory…"
"What plan?"
"To follow the bangles all over the world and eventually become their lead singer"
"She says like I should know this…"
"Didn't you know I love the bangles?"
"No, but even if I did I don't think someone could get inside your head… follow them around the world? That's nuts"
"Hey…"
"Sorry, I'm kidding with you… so if Rory didn't happen you would be very famous today?"
"I think so… but don't go there… Rory is the best thing that could ever happen to me… she's everything…"
"I wasn't gonna say it… I think she's a great kid… I told you more then once that I think she's great and that you're lucky to have her"
"You did, and I am… very lucky to have her"
"You sure you don't have to get home? You're working tomorrow morning"
"That's ok… I asked Steve and Caesar to open, but we can go if you want"
"No, I'm fine"
"Ok, so what do you say, should we ditch the restaurant scene and go somewhere else?"
"What did you have in mind?"
"I don't know, just hang"
"There's a great park here, we could take a walk"
"Sounds great"
As we walked hand in hand through the park I started thinking about him, about how great he is and about the first time we met, about the half business and the oatmeal he orders every morning.
We walked in silence just enjoying the beautiful and peaceful night till he stopped and turn to Luke at me. I smiled when he reached for my other hand "are you cold?" he asked caressing my cold hands and without waiting for an answer he took off his jacket and put it on me.
Caressing my arms up and down slowly and gently he smiled. His hands then moved to my back and down to my waist. As he pulled me closer I let my hands travel his chest and then his cheek "did I tell you that this has been a very successful first date?"
"You always have to say something… its amazing"
"It's a gift"
"Only you look at it this way"
"Me and Rory"
"I doubt that she encourages this habit"
"She says I should learn to appreciate silence"
"I like her more and more each day"
"And how about her mother"
"I like her too"
"Good to know"
"So…"
"So… waiting for permission to kiss me?"
"No"
"Then what?"
"I'm waiting for you to stop talking"
"Oh… ok, not talking here… unless…"
His tender lips were firmly placed on mine before I could continue what I wanted to say. I closed my eyes, lost in the moment, in Luke's arms, and kissed him back softly. There was no rush, just soft slow kissing and tasting and low pleasurable sounds, that's how I liked it with him, we could just stand still and stop time just by kissing.
As he pulled back for air my eyes were still shut "I think it was successful too" he whispered and leaned in again this time parting my lips for his tongue to caress mine ever so slow and sensual.
As the need for air became crucial he pulled back to gather me in his arm for a long hug its been so long since I hugged someone like this, God I missed it rubbing my back to keep me warm he looked at me "I think its getting late"
"Ok"
"Ok?" he asked "I can't believe you're saying just one word"
"Stop teasing me, you know you like it when I talk as much as I do"
"Got me there"
On the way home I looked at him, he was so sweet, how he looked at me every time we stopped at a red light this was a great first date and I had no success blocking all the dirty thoughts from my mind, they just kept waltzing through.
It was no wonder to me that I needed him. I've waited too long and while I was waiting every day that went by made me realize it's him I want, need.
For the special spark in his eyes and the perfect smile, I knew he was one of a kind, one I don't ever wanna be without, I felt it and the way he looked at me, I could tell he felt the same.
He was no longer the new guy, I knew right then when he held my hand on my porch and kissed me, that he was my guy.
"Do you wanna come in?"
"I don't know Lorelai, it's late, and Rory is probably asleep"
"Well Rory is asleep and it is late but…" I said and kissed him lightly "I want you to come in"
"Ok" not like he could resist her kiss and her smile
I led him to the living room and turned to face him "coffee? Oh sorry, tea?"
"That'll be nice, thanks" he answered and I went to the kitchen
Ok, what now Lorelai? You have a boy in your house and it's almost midnight, at least you know he won't turn into a pumpkin soon, that's good
My thoughts were cut off by the feel of his hand on mine, I didn't jump. He took the mug from my hand and put it down, I saw insecurity in his eyes but eagerness as well.
He then kissed me so passionate and lingering, hard and demanding is it the wine? I asked myself and he explored my mouth and challenged my lips to kissing I've never experienced before it's like every kiss with him is completely different then the one before
He pulled back and looked down
"Wow" was the only sound I could let out
"Yeah" he said meeting my gaze
"Luke I…" his fingers on my lips God his touch
"Don't say anything" and then he kissed me, slowly this time as my hands traveled his back and his shoulders. His were on my waist bringing me as close as possible
"You know you can't ask me to shut up… it's too much" I said as he kissed his way to my neck and shoulder. With my eyes still closed I whispered "Luke, God…" as he slid one of the straps of my dress down to clear his way "Luke" I whispered again "not here"
He pulled back and I finally opened my eyes "I'm sorry" he said
"Don't be, I just cant here… come" I said and took his hand
I led him upstairs and before we went in I asked him not to judge me by the way my room looked. He smiled "don't worry about it"
I was lucky that my bed wasn't such a mess
Luke's hands were something I made my favorite thing about him. Those lips that crashed against mine and the way he unzipped my dress and kissed the curve of my neck down to my shoulder. It was perfect. The way he made love to me was so tender. He cared only about my needs and made sure I was comfortable.
There he was on his back holding me, running circles with his fingers on my shoulder and my back. My hand rested on his stomach I can't believe what just happened
I closed my eyes.
There you have it, not only ASP wanted them to do the MMS on their first date. Come on, you know you wanted it. And those two, for them to not have sex on their first date would just be too damn weird.
That's just what I think.
I'm sorry for the lack of details but this is PG.
Thanks for reading and reviewing. Especially for reviewing because that's how I get my motivation. Thank you very much.
Thank you ASP for Lucas Danes. Thank you for every rant, every word, every look and every smile. Thank you for making him grumpy, cranky, moody, sad, sexy and sweet. And finely, thank you for casting this amazingly beautiful and sexy man for this great roll.
This line – its mine! And ASP's… but that's beside the point.
GO GO GET to review because your review is what keeps me going.
