A/N: This is the second part of the one shot stories I'm writing post-ep. This is the post-episode pick up for A Messenger, Nothing More.

Guys Make Passes At Girls Who Wear Glasses

"Lorelai?" Luke looked up in surprise as she crossed the diner. "Where's Rory?"

"At home, asleep. Jet lag. And I figured, hey, I bet Luke's still up and I haven't seen him for seven weeks either." She stopped at the end of the counter. "I missed you." His eyes fell to the necklace she had on, his necklace and back up to her bright blue eyes, which were focused on him. Kiss her, damn it. Lorelai held her breath until Luke's lips actually reached her own and then her thoughts were a blur again: why hadn't she followed Luke to Maine? Why hadn't she known he was such a damn good kisser?

"You should add that to your resume," she smiled as they broke apart, Luke's hands still on her waist.

"Good to know." His breath was hot on her lips as he leaned in again.

"Hey, you're not trying to seduce me before you tell me Grog Girl Annie tried to make a pass at you, are you?"

"Lorelai," Luke chuckled.

"Just checking." Lorelai replied innocently. "Because seven weeks is a long time to--" She was cut off by Luke's lips on hers again. "Mmm, what else have you got hidden under that flannel?"

Luke raised his eyebrows. "Dirty!" He whispered. Lorelai collapsed against him, giggling.

"Priceless. So is this considered 'hooking up'?"

"In the most adolescent sense of the word, yes. But since we are adults, I think," he looked at Lorelai. "How about I take you out for dinner tomorrow?"

"Sounds good. I need to get away from the Dragonfly. It was driving me nuts."

"Good. Sorry I was gone for so long." Lorelai was suddenly aware that Luke was rubbing her arms ever so softly.

"Couldn't be helped," she shrugged.

"Well at least we kept it from the town this way," Luke observed. Lorelai laughed. "Although Liz knows. She caught me picking out the necklace for you. She said you were my TJ."

"Oh God," Lorelai groaned. "Don't say that."

"That's what I said."

"So no passes were made by any fair maidens?" Lorelai tried again.

Luke couldn't help but smile. "Are you jealous?"

"No!" Lorelai replied too quickly. Luke crossed his arms and looked at her knowingly. "Maybe a little. I mean, we kissed and then you left and I didn't want anything to happen before we could...try this." She sighed.

Luke smiled and drew her close again. "No fair maidens. Only you." Lorelai blushed.

"So tomorrow?" Luke asked. "7? I'll pick you up."

"Ooh, fancy. Seven's perfect. I might actually be ready on time." Luke laughed.

"Soo I'll see you tomorrow?"

Lorelai made a face. "Are you trying to get rid of me?"

Luke glanced at his watch. "Well, it's getting late. And I still need to clean up."

"I'll help."

Luke was astonished. "You'll what?"

"I'll help. I used to be a maid you know."

"You don't have to."

"No, I want to. It'll go faster that way."

"I don't turn down free help."

"Who said it was free?" Lorelai teased. Luke rolled his eyes and handed her a cloth and a spray bottle. Lorelai started in the far corner of the diner. "So any more Ren Faire gossip I should know about?"
