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 14
The days went by and everything was going great. The town people were still watching us and winking every time Luke came to the diner but all was good. Luke says that as long as no one winks at him he's fine, and of course they keep their lives.
I always laugh when he brings out the macho in him. Acts tough when deep down he's a softy, the way he holds my hand when we kiss and travels his other hand down my hair or the way I pull back and he leans in to keep the kiss longer.
I keep forgetting orders when he sits there by the window and reads the sports issue. The way he smiles when I bump into someone because he distracts me. I don't know why he comes to the diner when I work, I think he's doing that on purpose.
We went to the movies last week, for our second date. I drove him crazy but he was so patient that I was frustrated. It's like I can't upset him. Well just as long as I don't kiss him in public, he's not big on the P.D.A.
Tonight I'm going to his place, to watch Casablanca, the Moroccan movie. Its gonna be the first time I'm in his apartment. I keep imagining how it'll look. He probably has bad taste in drapes and furniture.
But I can live with it as long as he makes it to the end of the movie.
"Hey Lor"
"Chris, hey, you didn't say you were coming today"
"Cant I surprise my girls"
"Sure you can, Coffee?"
"Always"
"Rory should be here any minute right?"
"No, she's at her grandparents this evening, she'll be back in about 2 hours"
"Ok, so it's just you and me"
"Something like that"
"Ok, so what is for diner?"
"What do you feel like?"
"One of those killer burgers and chili fries"
"Coming right up"
As I did my way back with Chris's dinner I saw Luke sitting next to him at the counter. I smiled
"Here you go Chris. Hey Luke" and started making some tea
"Hey" he said not as cheerful as I was
"So, how was your day?"
"Ok"
"Good, good…"
"Hey Lor, where's the ketchup?" Chris asked
"One second" I said and reached for the ketchup
"So, I'm gonna go" Luke said standing up
"Ok, I'll see you at 7?"
"Sure, bye"
As he did his way out Chris looked at him and then at me "7?" he asked
"Yeah, seven is a good number don't you think? Lucky number seven"
"You have a date?"
"Yeah" I said and started cleaning the counter
"With him?" he asked surprised
"Yes" I answered knowing where he was taking this
"Does Rory know?"
"Yes of course she knows"
"Does she know him?"
"Yeah she does"
"So he was in the house"
"Yes he was"
"How long have you known him that you bring him to the house?"
"Stop it right there Chris, we agreed to stay out of each other's lives"
"Yes but he was in your house and around my daughter, I think I deserve to know about him"
"Well you know now"
"How long has this been going on?"
"None of your business"
"The hell it is"
"I have work to do, you can finish eating and wait for Rory at the house"
"Fine, but we're not done here"
"Oh yes we are"
Who the hell does he think he is? Jerk… how dare he? and I cant even imagine what Luke's gonna say about him being here.
I went home to change and found Rory on the couch "hey hon, where's your dad?"
"He left" she answered
"What? Why?"
"We had an argument"
"You did… what was it about?"
"You"
"Oh hon…"
"Well he said some things I didn't want to hear so I told him what I think and he just took off"
"What did you tell him?"
"That he has no right judging you and that this is what you want"
"He was upset about Luke ha…"
"Yeah, I mean he comes here and starts talking about Luke like he's trash and that he can't believe you're seeing someone like him and that you had no right to bring him here and I just snapped… I mean he comes back out of nowhere after so many years and demands answers like we owe him something, I couldn't hear it, he had no right… oh and you know what else he said? He said you're a perfect role model and you know how he said it, you know dad and his sarcastic tone"
"You shouldn't have answered him babe, you should've left me to deal with him"
"No, hey he was talking about me too, he said I should ask you to stop seeing Luke"
"Ahhr he has some nerve…"
"See… and you weren't even here for it…"
"Sorry hon"
"Its ok… hey you're gonna be late mom"
"Right, ok… is lain coming over?"
"Yeah, we're gonna listen to some music and maybe watch TV"
"No boys?"
"No"
"You are so not my offspring"
"Tell that to my veins that are just screaming save me from the crazy amount of sugar and caffeine"
"I'm gonna change"
"Ok"
I knocked on Luke's door ten minutes after seven. "Hey" he smiled and kissed me
"Hey yourself what's that smell?" I asked as I walked in
"I ordered food, didn't you see that Joe guy? He just left"
"Right, I saw his van"
"Sit down I'll get us some beer"
"Hey did you get the movie?" I called after him
"What movie?" he called back
"I told you to stop, I'm not falling for this one"
"Then why did you ask?" he said coming back from the kitchen
"Well, I don't know…"
"I know… because every second looks empty if you don't fill it with a word or a sound"
"I hate when you make fun of me… one of these days I'm gonna stop talking to you"
"As long as you gonna keep showing up for our dates then that's just fine with me"
"Very funny"
"I think it was"
"Hey, you left in a hurry earlier, I thought you were mad at me"
"Why would I be mad?"
"I saw how you looked at Chris"
"I wasn't mad"
"Good because you know there's nothing there"
"I know…"
"Good"
Half way through the movie I took Luke's hand and brought it over my shoulder. I rested my head in the crook of his shoulder and his hand slid down to my waist. That was so stupid Lorelai, why did you do that of course his hand on my waist completely distracted me and I didn't watch the movie. All I watched was his breathing and his hand that was lying flat on his thigh, imaging all the heavenly things he could do to me with that hand.
I need help, Luke thoughts captured my mind, I cant think of anything else then those hands, damn… from all the guys I had to put my eye on that one… do you hear yourself??? You're complaining about dating a good man that knows how to work his hands? Other women would kill to have what you have…
"Hey, you want another drink?" he asked
"Huh?"
"I asked if you wanted another drink"
"Oh…" I said and went silent again
"Well… do you?"
"What?"
"Want another drink"
"Yeah sure"
He got up and went to the kitchen God, I'm pathetic… its just Luke, Lorelai, get a grip
"This movie is not bad" he said when he came back
"I told you"
"Hey, can I pause for a second?"
"No way, no pausing a classic"
"But I need to ask you something"
"Fine, you broke all the rules anyway…"
"The rules apply only in your house here we have different rules"
"Like what rules?"
"Like telling me why you're distracted"
"I'm not distracted"
"Yeah you are, and it's not the movie, I know…"
"Chris and I had a thing at the diner… an argument… and then he went to wait for Rory and they had a fight"
"About what?"
"Hey why don't we finish the movie…?"
"Lorelai" he put his hand on mind when I reached for the remote
"It was nothing Luke"
"Come on…"
"It was about you… he didn't like it"
"Oh…"
"But I don't care… really… Chris is just being Chris"
"I don't want you to fight over me…"
"Look, I know Chris… he's a snob… he thinks you're not good enough… but he doesn't know you… we're doing great and that's something I didn't have for quite some time… I don't care what other people think…"
"I'm sorry you had a thing because of me…"
"Don't worry about it"
"You sure you're gonna be ok?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine… who cares about what he thinks anyway"
"Obviously you do"
"I don't, I'm just pissed… he had no right to judge me, now…" I brought his hand over my shoulder and snuggled close to him "can we finish this movie?"
"I don't feel like watching this movie" he said and pulled back to look at me
"Come on Luke, forget about Chris"
"Oh, it's not about Chris"
His hand traveled my thigh and then slid under it to pull me to lie on my back on the couch "Luke!" I blushed as he positioned himself on top of me and started kissing my neck.
My hands went anywhere they could go, one finally rested on his back under his shirt, the other on his neck and then his hair. We kissed, for a long while, nothing else.
I loved kissing him, I loved how his hands knew exactly where to touch and how to touch, so gentle and soft.
At one point he pulled back and took my shirt off, kissing his way down to my belly his started unbuttoning my jeans. I just laid there eyes closed, enjoying his slow pace and the sexy feeling of getting undressed by him.
"Are you cold?" he then asked after completing his mission
"Come closer and I won't be cold anymore" I smiled
"I don't know what I was thinking" his hands slid under my legs and under my back and he lifted me "this couch is too small for what I had in mind" he added as he carried me to his bedroom
Ok. I had to write some details. PG is a party pooper. I'm never writing PG again.
As much as I hate him, and I do, Chris will be back for some one on one action with Luke, and of course the queen of bitches (Emily) will be in soon.
Hope you enjoyed it so far. I will never know unless you review.
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 role.
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.
