A/N: I have decided to write another chapter because you people are so NICE! (That's me sucking up so that you will review this chapter.) Also, I dedicate this chapter to ProFfeSseR, who taught me how to spell Lorelai. Lol. Thanks for the honesty.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, so stop giving me the third degree.
Ch. 2: Got to love Fridays.
Okay, five more minutes then I get to go home. Lorelai made her rounds. Checking on the guests one last time. The day had lagged on. At one point Lorelai was convinced that father time was teasing her because it was Friday. When 7 finally rolled around, Lorelai was so restless that she almost missed it. If Sookie hadn't said something she would probably still be making her rounds. But she did. "Lorelai, honey, it's 7."
Lorelai's eyes widened. "7? I get to go home? I get to go home!"
" Are you okay?"
" Yah, its just been a really long day. I love my job, but I love my husband more."
Sookie giggled. "Well, go home honey. I'll see you on Monday."
" Okay, bye Sook."
Lorelai stepped into the snow, trying not to concentrate on the cold. Car is only a few more steps. I get in the car and I am toasty again. She made it to her car, and drove as fast as she could in 2 feet of snow. And 20 minutes later she was getting out of her car in front of her house. Luke's truck was already there, and the porch light was on. She came in through the door and looked around. "Honey, I'm home."
" I'm in the kitchen." Luke said, setting the last of the food on the table.
Lorelai closed the door, and started for the kitchen. She sniffed at the air, mouth practically open in hunger. " I smell food. Not just any food, Luke Danes special hamburgers and fries."
She turned the corner and there it was. Fries and burgers. She smiled at her husband. One big, sexy man. This was one of those moments where she was amazed at how much she loved him. She walked past the food and wrapped her arms around him, kissing him as though she hadn't seen him in eight days instead of eight hours. When they parted, she had almost forgotten about her hunger. "Hi there." She said.
Luke had almost lost his footing and it took him a little to regain feeling. The ability to speak at that moment was none existent. He cleared his throat and was able to respond, "Hi."
" How was your day?" she asked.
" Okay, it seemed to go on for awhile though."
"Tell me about it." She sat at the table, Luke sitting beside her. "After this morning, my day seemed to move in slow mow. I guess that is one of the aspects of Fridays. That should change." She declared as she took a bite of her burger and grunted in approval.
Luke watched her eat for a while. It didn't matter that he had seen her eat several times, it still amazed him. He had to ask, " How? How can you eat so much and be so small?"
Lorelai cocked an eyebrow, taking another bite of her burger as she did. "I don't know." She said, mouth still full. " I guess it's just a gift. You should try it."
"Yah right." Luke smiled. "I can hardly eat a bag of chips, let alone every food known to man kind."
Lorelai laughed, almost spilling her soda. " I don't think I have eaten all food known to man kind. I probably have eaten all food known to Stars Hallow. And, I think the reason I eat so much is because I am so hyper that I have a faster metabolism. One of the many side affects of being a coffee addict. Ether that or I'm just a freaky bottomless pit."
Luke rubbed her back as she talked. " Well, it's one of the things that makes you amazing. Your ability to consume so much." Luke winked.
"And your ability to eat stuff that tastes like cardboard amazes me too." Lorelai kissed him. " Believe it or not, I'm full. Oh, I am really full. Can't get up. Luke must carry me." She looked at him with puppy dog eyes.
"Ugg, I don't want to carry you." He stood up and looked down at her. "Okay, tell you what. I will carry you to the couch, and you and I can watch a movie."
"A movie? Which one, Hard Bodies?" she never gets tired of that movie, and teasing him about not liking it.
" No, not Hard Bodies. Actually, I am in a suspense kind of mood. How about The Usual Suspects?" Luke bent down and picked her up, her arms around his neck.
" Umm… I don't know. That is a very involved movie. Are we going to pay attention? If not, we should watch something we have seen several times. But, not something that we are really tired of."
Luke cleared his throat. " Can we discuss this when you are sitting on the couch, and I am not concentrating on how not to brake my back?"
"Watch it buddy, you just got through saying I am tiny and if you don't stop talking right now, I may have to push my weight on you." She glared at him in a playful, pouted way.
Luke grunted and started to walk toward the living room, Lorelai talking to him about something or another. But, inside he sighed. It is Friday. And you have got to love Fridays.
