Chapter 7: Pictures of You
"Finally. I thought you'd never wake up." Liz's cheery voice greeted Luke as he walked into the kitchen rubbing his eyes from the sunlight pouring threw the window.
"It's only 10:00."
"Right and you never sleep until 10:00. It's hard to get you to sleep past 6:00."
He took into consideration the fact that he had previously spent immense amounts of nights sleeping at Lorelai's or vise versa. She'd never let him get out of bed past 10:00 on weekends with the exceptions of going to the bathroom because if he left all he'd hear is her whining while he was in the bathroom. "I'm cold! Get back in here so I can get to sleep before I get frost bite!"
And though it was during the summer, it was just her way of being sweet and he took it.
"Yeah well...I've been tired lately." He lied not wanting to explain Lorelai's morning theory.
"So, you promised you'd go see my friends with me tonight."
"Ah jeez..."
"Come on, you're a single man. My friends would love to see you."
"And I intend on staying single through out my stay here."
"I know that...I'm just saying that you should come out with us. You haven't really done much since you've been here."
"I know." He said taking a bite into an apple. "I don't know why you think I'm Mr. Social though. And I'm not sure why you'd think I'd enjoy spending the night with you and a bunch of your girls."
"Funny...cause I'd think that's every mans selfish dream."
"Alright maybe I stated that wrong. I don't want to hang out with my little sister and her friends. Especially since I know what kind of friends you have."
"Come on, bro!" She hit him on the arm. "It'll be fun."
"Yeah well...maybe." Until then, what do you say we eat? Where's TJ?"
"Early morning jog." Liz said nonchalantly leaning on the counter.
"He jogs?"
"Yes he does!" She said proudly.
"You've got yourself a good man there, Liz. He jogs and he has an etch-a-sketch."
Liz smirked. "Hey don't make fun of him. Now make me some breakfast."
They spent the rest of the morning cooking breakfast, eating, talking, and watching a little TV. Luke had been there for about 4 days now, trying his absolute hardest not to think about Lorelai. But that was the only thing on his mind. He wondered how she reacted when she found out he left. Did she care? Was she upset or sad or mad? Probably not, he figured. Letting go could be easier this way.
He wouldn't know the answers unless he called her. And it's not like the thought didn't occur to him before. He thinks of calling her everyday as a matter of fact. But not knowing what he'd say...that's what stops him. Some days, he'll wake up thinking he should call just to say hi. Other days when he's going to sleep he promises himself to call her in the morning, apologizing for the pain he's probably caused her.
Bottom line is, every morning he wakes up with her in mind and every night he goes to sleep with her in mind.
And it'll probably be that way until he was sleeping...next to her.
But chances are, even then she'd be in his thoughts.
"Mails here." Luke said as he saw the mailman from out the window. "Maybe your dumb catalog you've been waiting for has finally gotten here."
"Oh!" Liz ran over to the mailbox outside and brought in a load of mail, flipping through it disappointedly.
"Bills, bills, bills, garbage, bills, Luke?" She said out loud.
"Yeah?"
"No, this is for you. It's addressed to you."
"Who the hell knows I'm here?"
"Somebody named Rachel apparently."
She handed him a large yellow envelope, the words DO NOT BEND stamped on the front.
"What is it?" Liz asked, sticking her nose in his business.
"I don't know. Give me a minute and maybe I will."
He opened the envelope and before taking whatever was inside of it out, he looked in the envelope and saw a glossy end of a photo. It looked like there were a few piled underneath it but that was all he saw. He couldn't make out what it was though because there was a note laying across the picture. All he saw was snow and...the corner of the gazebo? His eyes widened. These were the pictures.
He closed the envelope immediately and got up, walking towards the guest room.
"Hey where are you going?" Liz asked.
"I'll be back." He said gruffly before walking in and closing the door, making sure to lock it behind him.
Slowly and unsurely, he opened the envelope up, peeking inside again. He grabbed the note and set the envelope on the bed before reading it.
Dear Luke,
Hopefully as you're reading this the pictures are still in good condition. You can never actually trust the stupid post men though. I sent you the copy's of pictures I took of you and Lorelai. One of them (the largest one) was the one that I included in the article, and let me tell you, I got pretty nice compliments on it. You're probably wondering how I figured out where you were. Let's just say that Stars Hollow isn't a small town. I called your apartment a few times and because I hadn't reached you a few days later, I just assumed you were incredibly busy with the diner, it being the holiday season and all. After quite a few attempts at both your house and the diner (which by the way, you need to get an answering machine for that diner of yours because a person could go crazy waiting for someone to answer that phone) I called Miss Patty. She told me you closed up and from that, we talked and came to the conclusion as to where you are staying. I'm not trying to intrude or anything, but I thought you'd like a copy of these pictures. And whatever's going on with you, I hope things are alright. Keep in touch.
Take care,
Rachel
He re-read the letter twice, searching for subtext though he knew none was intended. The real reason he re-read it was because a part of him was nervous to open the envelope. Those pictures...it was when things were so complicated between the two of them. He didn't want to look at them but knew he should.
He set the letter in the envelope again and pulled out the pictures.
He looked at the first one that they took where Rachel had to show Lorelai how to stand. He actually cracked a smile thinking about the time. He traced his fingers over the image of Lorelai but quickly took his hand off that side of the picture when he realized what he was doing.
He turned to the next one of Luke's arms snaked around her waist, holding her closely. He could practically imagine taking in the scent of her as he started longingly at the pictures.
If he hadn't believed the phrase a pictures tells a thousand words, now he most certainly could.
The picture was a profile shot of them. Lorelai was smiling and had her hands on top of his. Luke's face was straight, but contempt. He looked happy.
The next picture was the one of them on the ground, when Lorelai took him down with her. Her bright blue eyes really popped out in this picture. Lorelai was smiling up at him, curiosity, passion and beauty through out her face. He spent a few extra seconds on that picture before putting it behind the others.
The last was the largest. It was the picture that they took when they made up. You could only see Lorelai's face, twisted back to look at Luke. She was smiling but something about it was familiar. He had seen that smile before. It was just any smile...not one of the 5 smiles he could classify as hers. This was a special smile.
It was the same smile she gave to him the night of their first date when he asked if she was scared because he was all in. It was almost scary how identical the smiles looked. Though it was almost too small and mysterious to call a smile. More like a grin. A grin that said only she knew how she felt. This was exactly like that.
First Date
"Does that...uh, are you uh scared?" He asked boldly. A smile of victory spread across his face.
Lorelai Gilmore was speechless for a change.
She looked down, blushing slightly curiosity sweeping threw her mind. This man captured her, she was in the spotlight.
She swung her head up and smiled at him for a few long seconds. She was about to say something, mouth opening, when the waitress approached their table.
"More champagne?"
They exchanged questioning glances and nodded their heads to each other.
"That'd be great." Lorelai replied sweetly.
The waitress poured them their champagne; the whole time Luke and Lorelai stayed transfixed on each other, both smiling ever so faintly.
When the waitress walked away, Lorelai held up her glass.
"If Luke Danes is all in," she clanked her glass against his and they both took a sip of their champagne. "Then I am too." She smiled at him.
Mysterious, his first thought was. Was that intended as a good or a bad thing? Because it's not like Luke Danes is the king of dating. He had just about no idea how to make this dating thing work. He just figured he'd need to find a way to work it out with Lorelai Gilmore. He wasn't going to screw this up. He smiled at her, figuring it was meant as a compliment. That if he could be all in for a change then so could she.
"Good." He said satisfied and she could tell.
She nodded confidently and that was when Mazie personally brought over their food setting it down in front of them.
"Wow, this looks great." Lorelai smiled looking at her plate of food. It was certainly not what she ordered. But that was okay because Luke warned her and after all, she did hear Mazie and Buddy agreeing on something to make them. She looked at her plate. No garlic, she thought to herself. Giving the guy a chance, she noted.
"How did I know you'd cook this Mazie?" Luke asked looking up at her.
"You know me too well Lucas."
With that, she walked away for the two of them to enjoy their dinner.
"So three days a week, huh?" Lorelai asked. "How do you manage coming here so much?"
"The same way you manage to come to the diner." He replied slyly as she laughed.
"I mean, I've never gone to the diner and not seen you there."
"Sure you have."
"No I haven't. How would you know if I were there if you weren't there?"
"Because you come in at least once a day so if I don't see you during the day, that means I'm here."
"Keeping tabs on my visits, are you?" She asked grinning.
"Keeping tabs on your visits." He nodded and took a bite of his food.
---
After diner and saying goodbye to Mazie and Buddy, they walked outside the restaurant and back to the truck. Luke opened the door for her before getting in himself and driving back.
"I'll probably regret not taking you up on that desert offer. After all it's very unlike me." Lorelai said rubbing her belly.
"You said you were full though."
"I was. But considering the fact that we won't be home for another 30 minutes, it gives me said time to get hungry. And dinner isn't complete unless there's desert."
"Well, we can go to the diner if you want." He said cautiously, not wanting to sound weird about the offer. "I'm sure there's something there you'd like."
She turned to him and smiled, shaking her head to herself. "Yeah, I'm sure there is." She bit her lip trying to cover up the childish smile threatening to pour across her face.
---
Close to 30 minutes later they pulled up in front of the diner. He opened her door for her and led her into the darkened diner, turning the lights on as they entered and locking the door behind them just in case.
She sat at the counter, putting her purse on the stool next to her. Luke walked behind the counter rolling up his sleeves and lifting the lid off the tray of pie.
"Pie?" He asked.
"Of course."
He cut her a piece and put it on a plate, handing it to her before walking back to sit next to her.
He couldn't help but notice she was dramatically shivering, clearly exaggerating though she might have actually been cold.
"It's freezing in here. Don't you think?"
Luke smiled and shook his head. "I don't think so."
"Are you kidding? It's freezing!" She put her hands around herself and rubbed her arms in attempt to warm herself up.
"Lets go upstairs?" He asked nervously, not sure what her response would be.
She smiled. She picked up her plate and purse from the stool. They stood up never once loosing eye contact and headed upstairs to his apartment.
He placed his hand on the small of her back and guided her to the door. He opened it for her and directed her to his couch. She caught a glimpse of his bed, taking in the fact that the size had definitely increased.
He took his coat off and hung it up before sitting next to her on the couch. He watched her eat her pie and smiled admiringly.
She couldn't help but notice how much he was smiling tonight. She felt proud knowing that the smile had to of had something to do with the date. She felt satisfied that she could make him smile.
"Warmer up here?" He asked.
"Definitely."
She took the last bite of her pie and leaned against the couch, lifting her shirt up a little and patting her stomach.
"Now I'm definitely full." She said and all he did was smile in return keeping his eyes fixed on her the whole time, patting her thigh for a quick second but leaving his hand there. Lorelai had to keep from shivering at the way his touch made her feel.
He couldn't help but stare at her. He had honestly never seen a more beautiful woman in his life, and to know that she was sitting on his couch made him feel like a giddy little school boy. At the same time, he couldn't help but think about their first two kisses and how they never did get to try that again.
Eyes still fixed on her; he leaned down in front of her meeting her face just short of her lips. He looked at her one last time before leaning in and kissing her softly, letting his hand rest on her arm.
Her sharp intake of breath made her lean up, increasing the kiss dramatically. She was now completely sitting up, her small hands wrapped around his waist pulling him closer to her. She teased him, tongue brushing over his bottom lip eager to step the kiss up. She opened her mouth allowing him to increase the kiss as he pulled her body closer to his.
He pulled away after a few moments just to make sure she still looked okay. Of course she looked okay...better than okay really, but to see if she looked comfortable. To make sure she wanted to be doing this.
She leaned forward, pressing her forehead against his and smiled before leaning in and kissing him again, continuing where they left off. After a few minutes, he placed his hands around her shoulders taking her coat off with one swift move. She helped him by leaning into him so he could get a better grasp around her arms and put the coat on the couch all while Lorelai's stomach was tossing and turning, completely and utterly nervous. She had never experienced this feeling before. Right here, with Luke. It was almost as if she was dreaming, as if something could never feel quite this way. And as cliché, and fairy tale sounding as that may seem that's exactly how she felt and that's why it was so special.
He held her closely, as they explored each other, hand roaming everywhere. She reached from his back to his arms to his hands, back up to his face. While things seemed to be moving by quickly, in actuality it was going very slow and passionate, taking in the first time experiences for everything.
She broke away from the kiss as she felt Luke's hands creep underneath her top. Her heart practically stopped beating and her legs turned weak, face turning pale. As horrible as she sounded, it was just because she was nervous. It wasn't like she didn't want to do this because she did.
She bit her lip and searched for words as he looked at her curiously, hands still under her shirt.
"This reminds me of this time that I was watching this stupid show on TV, what's it called," she acted as if she was thinking of the title, "some stupid show on MTV and this girl was with her boyfriend and they were walking upstairs to her--"
"Lorelai." He said soothingly, removing his hands from underneath her shirt. "You're babbling."
"I know." She said quietly.
"Lorelai, if you don't want to do this we don't have to." He said with so much understanding and calmness.
She shook her head and held his hands. "No Luke, I do. It's just, this is new for me. That's all."
"Well if it makes you feel any better, it's new for me too."
She smiled and kissed him softly.
"It does." She said referring to his comment that them being together was new. Not to mention, nerve-wrecking as hell.
He held her hand and helped her up from the couch, walking her over to the side of his bed. The apartment was dark just about the whole time they were there, with the small effects of the light in the kitchen. She looked up at him and began unbuttoning his shirt revealing his bare chest as the material fell to the floor. He placed his hands at the bottom of her shirt, waiting for her to give him some sort of okay. Her silence, instead of her MTV babbling was okay enough. He lifted her shirt over her head, throwing it on the floor beside his. She leaned up and kissed him intensely, hands gliding over his chest as he fumbled with the button of her pants in attempt to remove them. When completed with that, she took her turn with his. It was as if it was a game. Her turn, his turn.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and held her closely, lowering her onto the bed as he leaned over her. In one swift move, he flipped her over so that she was on top of him as they continued kissing passionately.
He held her small, petite body on top of his, holding her as tight as he could without hurting her, caressing her sides in attempt to keep her warm.
She broke away from him after a moment, pressing her forehead against his and smiling before caving in to his look. It was almost impossible to be away from him, as he gazed in her eyes admiring her consideration to take the actions of the night slow, but surely.
Cause from the beginning, tonight was meant to be magical.
x-x-x
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! The alarm went off the next morning.
"Mmm." Lorelai moaned not wanting to get up.
"Sorry," he apologized. Lorelai almost forget where she was but when she reached over and felt Luke, she remembered exactly where she was. "I forgot to turn the alarm off."
"Bad alarm. Bad, bad alarm." She mumbled as Luke went to turn the alarm off. When he laid back down, Lorelai adjusted herself with his arm wrapped around her. "What time is it?" She asked after laying her head on his chest.
"Early."
"Hate early. Must kill early."
Luke sighed and played with her hair before kissing her on the top of her head.
"Okay I gotta get up." She said out loud though laughed to herself knowing she couldn't get up just yet. Sure she had a job to get to, but she didn't to leave Luke. Not when his body was serving as the perfect body pillow.
"Why?" He asked clearly not wanting her to get up either.
"Work. Inn. Buy shoes." Exactly what had to be done, she thought. "Oh my god I can't move. I need coffee."
"I don't have coffee up here. It's all downstairs."
"Ah, downstairs." She new that would be the only trick to get her up. She leaned down, kissing him on the chest a few times before reaching for his plaid shirt and put it on as she walked out the front door.
She rubbed her eyes as she walked down the stairs, leaving her arms by her nose as she inhaled the smell of his shirt. As she walked down the stairs she realized that the buttons weren't buttoned up all the way so she worked her way with that. As she completed the last button she reached the bottom of the stairs and looked up.
Oh wow. There was quite the crowd.
She calmly looked over the familiar faces in the diner as she stood there in disbelief. 'How are all these people here already when I was just lying in bed with Luke 2 seconds ago?' She heard a few mumbles and a few giggles before she smiled and ran back up the stairs.
She entered his apartment in a huff, storming to the side of the bed. She glared at him as she saw him sleeping again.
"Well I think people are gunna know!" She said loudly waking him up.
"What?" Luke said turning on the bed and gazing up at her. 'She even looks good in the morning' he thought to himself. "What are you talking about? Why are you wearing my shirt?"
"I put it on to go get coffee." She said like he was supposed to know. Which, he would have if perhaps he wasn't half asleep when she told him.
"Downstairs?"
"Well you don't keep it upstairs!" She said referring back to before when he told her he had no coffee upstairs.
"The diners open."
"You're kidding!" She said sarcastically.
"You walked into the diner like that?" He asked trying to hold back the laughter.
"I didn't think the diner could open without you!" She whined.
"I had Caesar open."
"Well he did, with a floor show." Still the sarcasm in her voice.
"Okay, so, maybe nobody noticed." He tried. Though well aware that was a lie.
"Look at me!" He took a second to look her over as if he hadn't been the whole while she was standing in front of him.
"Okay yes. Well, you wear crazy outfits all the time."
"They usually include pants." She had to give him some credit for that though, for she did usually wear pretty crazy outfits.
"Okay so they no. So what? I mean they're gunna find out eventually right?" He didn't really mind if people knew. He figured he'd get bombarded with questions for a little while but after that things would be smooth.
"Right. So, we'll hear about it for a few days." She said knowingly.
"Few weeks." Luke reassured her.
"Six months of hearing about it but then it'll die down." Luke had to smile to himself noticing the implication that they'd actually be together for 6 months.
"We'll be used to it."
"And everything will get back to normal, so okay, they know. It's out."
"It's out." Lorelai laughed a little. "Where's your coffee?" He asked.
She looked down at herself and looked back up at Luke. "Mmm hmm."
Luke got up and walked around towards her. "I'm getting your coffee."
"Smart idea." He grabbed a pair of pants and a tee-shirt from his dresser and threw them on quickly. As he walked past her, she grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.
"Hey come here." She leaned over and gave him a quick kiss. "Good morning."
He smiled and rubbed her arm. "Good morning."
"Sleep well?" She asked smiling flirtatiously.
"Sort of. There was this annoying person on top of me the whole time complaining they were cold." He joked even though that really did happen.
"Sounds annoying."
He leaned in and gave her another kiss before walking out the door and headed down the stairs not nervous at all. He was almost excited that he could finally show Lorelai off as his.
He walked into the diner and looked around. The crowd was furious. There were people every where. 'Lorelai didn't mention there were this many people...' he thought.
As soon as people saw him, the noise within the diner increased. He made a note that Patty and Babette sat in the corner looking casual as ever.
He placed a cup on the counter and poured it to the top for Lorelai. Kirk was sitting at the counter at this point looking at him.
"How you doin Kirk?" Luke asked a little too politely.
Kirk smirked and winked in response.
Luke shook his head and peeked into the kitchen. "Caesar you okay in there?"
"Fine boss!" He shouted.
"Great. I'll be upstairs."
Everyone's eyes shot in his direction as he smiled and waved lightly with his free hand before walking back up the stairs
When he was out of sight, Kirk shoot up from the stool and started screaming. "I won the pool!" He walked over to Babette and Patty.
"Pay up ladies! I won the bet." He said holding his hand out to the women who glared at him in response.
Becoming frightened, Kirk took a step back. "I'm gunna go. It's time to wake mother up." He ran out of the diner.
x-x-x
Luke walked into his apartment as Lorelai walked out of the bathroom wearing the same clothes she wore last night.
She smiled as she saw him walk in.
"Here's your coffee."
They walked over to the kitchen table and both took a seat. "Thank you very much." She took a sip and smiled largely. "Mmm." She gazed at him from across the brim of her cup and couldn't help but smile...because he was too.
"There must have been 30 people crammed into that diner." He commented.
"Really?" She thought for a second. "Crowd must have thickened since I was down there."
"I bet." He said nodding. "So what's on your schedule today?"
"I've gotta leave in a few minutes and head to the Inn. I told Sookie I'd come a little earlier. And then...I'll probably just go to the town meeting." Luke rolled his eyes and Lorelai laughed. "Want to come with me?" She asked sweetly.
"I hate those meetings."
"I know you do but you still have to go."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Alright, well I'll meet you here then."
"Sounds good."
They were quiet while Lorelai finished her cup of coffee. Luke played with his hands on top of the counter as Lorelai watched. She reached out and held his hands. "Hey." He looked up at her. "I had a really, really great time last night."
He nodded his head and smiled. "So did I." He said shyly.
"Well, good. Though I'm afraid I've gotta go."
"That's alright. I should probably get down to the diner anyways."
"Good, so you'll walk me down? I'd be scared to go down there alone."
"Yeah, I'll take you." They got up and as Luke put her cup in the sink, she walked over to get her jacket and purse.
He opened the door for her and motioned for her to leave. "After you."
"Thank you." She said turning back and smiling at him.
They walked down the stairs, Lorelai more nervous than Luke, but excited all at the same time. When they walked out from the curtains, everybody shut up and their eyes averted to them.
"Uh, hi." Lorelai said lamely.
A few people said hi, a few people stayed quiet, and a few people continued their previous conversation.
They walked outside the door standing on the steps right outside and everyone watched them as they exchanged their goodbyes.
"Oh hey do you need me to drive you home? I forgot you don't have a car."
Lorelai thought for a second but didn't want to intrude. "That's okay. You don't have to."
"No it's fine, really. Gives the diner time to calm down."
"You sure?" She asked, leaning her head to the side.
"Yeah, of course. Let's go."
He held the door open for her as she got in and walked around the other side, glancing in the diner as he did. Everybody turned around quickly as they noticed he saw them.
"Town's crazy."
"Aint that the truth." Lorelai agreed.
x-x-x
A few minutes later, they pulled into Lorelai's driveway. She turned to him and smiled.
"Thanks for the ride."
"No problem."
She bit her lip, hiding her childish grin and leaned into him.
"And thanks for last night." She kissed him softly, as he rested his hand on her thigh.
"Anytime." He said pulling away.
"So, you'll call?" She asked hopefully.
"I'll call."
"Great. And I'll see you tonight too."
"Yeah. Tonight."
With one last kiss, she got out of the car and headed towards the door. He watched her with a stupid smile on his face as she fumbled with her keys, turned around and waved as the door opened, and closed the door in front of him.
She leaned against the back of the door and sighed, smiling larger than ever, resulting in a small squee.
Through out the past 5 months or so with her, he had experienced a lot of smiles but nothing like the smile.
He took one last glance at the pictures and leaned over putting his shoes on. He got up and grabbed his keys from the dresser, walking out of the room with his bags in hand.
"Liz...I'm gunna get going." He said walking into the living room.
"What? Already?"
"Yeah, I've really gotta get back." He said impatiently.
"Are you sure you're...ready to go back?"
"I'm ready."
She stood up and held her arms out to him. He walked over and gave her a tight hug.
"Thanks for letting me stay here."
"Anytime. And hey." She pulled away from him and smiled. "I hope things work out with you and her." She said, trying to avoid Lorelai's name.
He nodded his head. "Tell T.J. I said bye."
"I will. Drive carefully. And don't be a stranger. Call me."
"I will Liz. Thanks again."
With that, he took off and headed home.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
A few hours later, he arrived back into the familiar streets of Stars Hollow. Nothing changed, he noted to himself.
He had spent the car ride thinking about her. Everything about her. The way he wanted to see her, to talk to her, to apologize to her for everything. He was sick of living the way he had been and knew there was only one way to fix that.
He knew if he went to his apartment first, he may loose the nerves to go see her so he headed straight to her house.
He parked his truck across the street and hopped out of the car, nervous but quickly. He wanted to just do it. Get things over with.
He walked up to the stairs, passing her jeep and another car sitting in the driveway. Even if Rory was home, he was going to do this.
As he walked up the front steps of the porch, his stomach grew nervous and he closed his eyes one last time before knocking.
As he lifted his hand to knock on the door he heard something. His eyes widened and mouth fell open.
"I love you." He heard her say in a calm, rational voice to whoever was inside.
His first instinct was to bust in and raise hell. But he knew not only was that wrong, but probably would result into something worse than imaginable. He turned around before he could hear another word from her mouth. As he walked past the car in her driveway, he questioned if it was Rory's. Rory doesn't drive a Volvo. He knew he had seen the car before, just not sure where.
He gazed into the window and saw all he needed to see.
A car seat with baby toys spread across the back.
A/N 2: So, this chapter was mainly just a flashback. As you can tell the present day stuff was pretty short, but we wanted to get another chapter out to you before the last one because it'll probably take a little longer to post. But I'm a big fan of the flashbacks & hopefully you guys are too. I'm sure you hate us with that cliff hanger of an ending, but we still love you! Please review & tell us what you think! We'll see you for the last chapter in just a little while…
Oh, and yay for the new episode of GG on Jan. 25!!
