Disclaimer: in my own little imaginary world I own the Gilmore girls and this wonderful creation called Luke Danes, but since this is real life, I do not own any of the characters I'm using for this crazy fiction. Which is very sad because who wouldn't want to be the owner of shirtless Luke.

Author's note 1: to Tinkerbell79, you are my 100 review! Thank you everyone for the kind words. I feel like ASP felt at the 100 episode party… hihi… kidding. Thank you. Hope you all enjoy the rest of this fiction.

Author's note 2: to Miss Lionesse, I'm thinking about what you suggested and if I'll have good scenes I'll definitely change the rating. Thanks for reviewing.

Author's note 3: In-need-of-coffee, it sure is good to have you back, and to read what a talented writer like yourself thinks about my stories.

New guy Luke


CHAPTER 15

He looks so peaceful I thought as I watched him in his sleep. His hand was in constant contact with mine, never apart. As I watched him, a single tear slid down my cheek, I wiped it quickly and laid my head on his chest.

I knew this day would come. The day he'd have to meet my demanding snob parents. And even though I tried all my life to separate myself from them I knew this is one thing I can't run away from. I have to face them with him for he is the one I chose, the one I think I love.

I never said it to him but I know I'm falling in love with him. How could I not… he is the one thing besides Rory that's mine as much as I'm his. I know he'll always be there just by the look in his eyes before he kisses me good night or the way he searches for my eyes before he leaves the diner.

I use to get scared in the beginning, I'm still scared that something will break us apart, but now I'm more then scared, I'm terrified of him meeting my parents, I wanna cry when I imagine how they react when they see him for the first time, in my head its not good.

The thing that scares me the most is that I know how Luke will react if they treat him badly, he'll leave, and then he'll leave me because it's the right thing to do, because he doesn't want to cause problems. He can be like that. I freed my hand from his and turned with my back to him

I wish there was another way, but there isn't. I wish I could somehow make them see through Luke and ignore his bank account or his job, but I can't, because I know my parents.

I then felt his hand slide under my stomach and the other over my body searching for my hand. He kissed my shoulder and entwined our fingers

"You're awake" he said bringing me a little closer to him

"Yeah, did I wake you?"

"No, but I'm awake now. What's wrong?"

"I can't sleep"

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just thought about something that's all"

"Wanna talk?"

"We're gonna have to talk but I don't want to now… I just wanna be… like this now…" I said and tightened his arms around me

"Sounds serious"

"We don't have to talk now just hold me"

"Hey, turn around" he said and turned me to him

As I shifted to be face to face with him I saw the worried look he had

"Hey, what's going on?" he asked and brushed my hair behind my ear

"Are we good? I mean, its going well don't you think?"

"Lorelai" he looked at me trying to understand what I'm saying

"we've been together for 2 months now… and I want you to know that I've never been happier well except when Rory was born and I fell in love just by hearing her cry her lungs out… but us, we're great and I'm happy…"

"I'm glad you feel that way but what's wrong?"

"I'm afraid" he looked at me waiting for me to continue but I couldn't instead I rested my head on his chest and he held me

"Whatever it is… just tell me what's wrong" he said

"My mother called today. Apparently Chris told her I'm seeing someone and they want to meet you"

"And you are afraid that they won't approve of me"

"I don't care what they think"

"So why are you worried if you don't care?"

"I know them, I know they can be a little mean… well not a little but I just don't want you to go through all that"

"Hey" he said and pulled me up to look at him "I don't mind going, I don't care what they'll think of me and I don't want you to worry too much"

"I'm not like them… I don't care how you dress and how much money you make"

"And they do?"

"You have no idea…"

"So I guess I have to put on my power suit"

"I guess…"

"Don't worry, it will be fine"

"You know meeting the parents is kinda serious…"

"I thought we were serious… are you dating other guys?"

"Yeah… but it's not serious with them" I said as I laid my head back on his chest

"I feel so lucky…"

"You should"

In the morning I woke up alone in his bed, it was after 5. I hugged his pillow and smelled him, it was the first thing I did every time I woke up there. I love his smell.

I heard noises from the shower and looked up. "Hey, good morning" he said walking to his closet. He was wearing just jeans God I love it when he's shirtless "morning" I answered

"I made you some coffee" he sat on the bed and gave me a quick kiss

"That's all I get?" I pouted as he turned his back to me and put on his shoes

"Go brush your teeth and I'll try again" he teased

"I hate you"

"Right back at you" he smiled

As he started putting his shirt on I said "hey Luke? Come here for a second" he sat next to me "are you gonna give me a proper kiss or do I have to beg?"

"Begging sounds nice" he said and I pouted in return

His hand went to the back of my head and our lips met forcefully. Our tongues merged in an instant and I was lost. With my body I forced him to lay back and I climbed on top of him. Still kissing as we were, my hand slipped under his shirt while his went straight to my lower back and down.

Morning breath or not he was kissing me the way every girl dreams to be kissed. Wet and so full of passion. As I moaned in his mouth he smiled through the kiss and rolled me over, we broke the kiss. "Take this damn shirt off" I begged playfully

"You know what will happen if I do…" he said and started kissing my neck

"I know… why do you think I'm still in bed…"

"We cant, we're both late for work" he said while working his way down from my neck

"We are both our own bosses, we can be late" I said breathing heavily as he was touching all the right spots

"Just a few minutes"

"God" I moaned loudly when he reached the most sensitive spot in my body "you better be more then a few minutes"

The clock showed 7 when I looked over Luke's chest. Very productive morning I thought as he played with my hair "I still can't believe you did that. Where did you learn how to do that?"

"I have to say it was all God-given talent"

"I'll second that… hey, I'm watching a movie with Rory tonight, you wanna join us?"

"Naa… I think I'll let you ladies do your thing…"

"Ok…"

"But you can call me before you go to sleep, we can talk…"

"Yeah, it's been a while since we talked on the phone, you know, a real conversation…"

"So tonight?"

"Yeah"

I arrived at work later and found Kirk sitting there just like always "Kirk. Have you been sitting here since 5.30?"

"As a matter of fact I have, and its 7.30, you're late. I'm considering bringing this up in the next town meeting. I'm hungry, you're here to serve me, and you failed to do your job"

"One word in town meeting and you're gonna have breakfast with your mother every day till she dies kirk, and I hear she's gonna outlive us all"

"I'm gonna skip town meetings for the next 50 years"

"That's what I thought. Now get in"

After the lunch rush I went upstairs to my office to work on some bills. I had Luke's smell all over me since I was wearing one of his shirts which means I couldn't concentrate so I gave him a call.

"What are you doing?" I asked smelling the shirt for the hundredth time

"What carpenters usually do"

"Oh… ok, chopping wood?"

"If you say… so, what's up?" he asked

"Nothing, I just called to tell you that I'm not going to wear your shirts anymore…"

"You took it again?"

"Uh huh" I said realizing I got caught

"We agreed that you'd stay away from my closet"

"Uh huh"

"And you took it again"

"Greeny was lonely, I heard her calling me. I had to keep her company, its not her fault you neglect her… you know, you should be nicer to your shirts"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yes, she said Lorelai, I know you like me, I like you too… we can be friends… I'm sad… please save me from this mean guy who locks me in the closet all day…"

"It's just a shirt you know"

"Shirts have feelings"

"Fine… how did we even get to this weird conversation?"

"I told you I'm not wearing your shirts anymore"

"Oh… why?"

"Because they all smell like you and I cant concentrate…"

"Uh huh"

"Were you busy when I called?"

"It doesn't matter anyway, it's not like you'd hang up if I said I was busy"

"True"

"Ok, I have to go, someone just came in" he said in a hurry

"Ok… I'll call you tonight" I replied

"Ok, bye"

I smiled when he hung up the phone because I realized he knows me so well. Still he doesn't care taking a break when I call or listen to my crazy rants. He's possibly the sweetest guy I've ever met.

And it will all be put to the test when we go to meet my parents. I hope it won't be as bad as I imagine it.

Closing time came fast, before I noticed the diner was empty and Steve went home. I turned off the lights and locked the diner door when I heard Luke's voice from behind me "hey there" and felt his hands around my waist

I jumped and turned to him "don't ever do that again" I said but he kissed me and I forgot what he did that was so wrong

"That's so not fair" I said when he pulled back "you can't just kiss me like that…"

"I thought I could, being in a relationship with you and all…"

"Not after you almost give me a heart attack, you can't!"

"Sorry, I won't do it again"

"You right about that" I said pointing a finger to him

And then he leaned in again and kissed me slowly this time, more passionate and lingering then before. Wet and hot and tongues battling, like we haven't kissed for a year.

I felt that if I'm not stopping him now there's a pretty good chance Rory will watch the movie alone tonight. I pulled back and tried to catch my breath before saying "Rory… waiting… food and movie and… movie night… and…"

"Shut up… you're babbling" he said and took my hand "come on, I'll walk you home"

"Oh… ok…"

Is there a reason I loose it every time he kisses me like that? God… I have to get a grip… I've been kissing this gorgeous man for 2 months now and I still loose it when ever I feel his tongue against mine…

As we came close to my house I saw a figure standing at my door talking to Rory "oh my God, Luke… it's my mother" I said and pulled him back to hide behind a bush

"Why are we hiding?" he asked

"Because I don't want to talk to her now"

"Are you hiding me?"

"No, Luke…"

"You are. You don't want her to see me now so you're hiding"

"No Luke, that's so far off"

"So come on, lets go say hallo"

"Fine… you asked for it mister"

"Fine…"

We walked towards the house "hey mom" I called "what are you doing here?"

"Is that a proper way to welcome your mother Lorelai?"

"Well I said hallo..."

"Yes you did. Aren't you going to introduce me to this man here?"

"Sorry… mom, this is Luke"

"Luke Danes miss Gilmore" Luke said offering his hand to my mother

"It's nice to meet you Luke" she said shaking his hand

"Same here"

"So mom, you wanna come in?" I gestured

"No, I just stopped by to remind you about your father's birthday this Wednesday. Please wear something appropriate and Luke, you're invited too so of course I expect to see you there too"

"Sure. Thank you for the invite"

"Well, good night Rory, I'll see you on Wednesday too" she hugged her and left to her car

"She's evil" I whispered to Rory as we were standing on the porch making sure she's really leaving

"Mom…" Rory said in a disapproving tone

"What? She is evil… just look into her eyes…"

"Behave missy"

"So" I turned to Luke "you can take that power suit out of your closet now"

"I guess…"

"Hey, you wanna come in and watch the movie with us?"

"No, I'm gonna go home, I'll see you in the morning" he gave me a short quick kiss on the lips "night Rory" he said and left

"So, that went better then expected" Rory said as we went in the house

"She's evil, I can't believe you can't see through her polished manners…"

"I think you have nothing to worry about… she was nice and very polite to Luke"

"You are so naïve"

"And you are the queen of the drama queens"

"Fine… let's go start movie night"

Next comes Richard's birthday. The bitch is back and you can't even begin to imagine what I'm planning. Hope you guys liked it.

Thanks for reading and reviewing. Especially for reviewing because that's how I get my motivation. Thank you very much.
