Disclaimer I don't own them I wish I did. I'm just borrowing them for a bit.

A/N: Their thoughts should be in Italic. It might make it a little easier to understand.

So on with the story.


Lorelai was still looking at the door when Rachel came in.

"Here's the pictures I hope you like them" Rachel said as she handed the pictures to Lorelai. Lorelai looked up and smiled taking the pictures.

"Can I ask something?" Rachel asked not aware of what almost happened just minutes ago.

"Sure" Lorelai answered not really paying attention

"You and Luke are close right?"

"Yeah" Oh God please! She can't ask me about this right now.

"Okay well I was wondering if umm it came up if you could put in a good word for me I know it would mean alot coming from you, Ah you know if it comes up" Rachel shifted her weight slightly a little uncomfortable.

"Sure if it comes up" I have to get out of here. I can't help her keep Luke. Keep him? That's right she has him not me.

"Thanks"

"No problem I really should get going" I have to get out of here. I need to find Luke.

"Ok well thanks for coming by. And thanks for you know helping with Luke"

"That's okay" Lorelai headed out the door in search of coffee, Luke's coffee

Luke's in the stock room.Lorelai watches him stock the shelves for a few minutes.

"Hey"

"Oh hey" their eyes meet and she cant help but smile he returns the smile before he goes back to the stack of boxes in front of him

"Fascinating stock room"

"Yea its great" Luke said sarcasm evident in his voice

"What are you doing?" he asks her after a few minutes of silence

"You don't like me hanging out with Rachel do you?"

"I don't mind you just shouldn't get to attached to her she has a way of leaving without saying anything"

"Do you really think she's going to leave?"

"I don't know why are you pushing her on me"

"I'm not I just want you to be happy"

"How do you know she's going to make me happy?"

"Well you have wanted her for awhile right?"

"Yeah"

"Well why not be with her then? Unless there's something else holding you back?"

"Like what?"

"I don't know maybe someone else?"

"Like who?"

"Ok so there is someone else?" she smiles up at him with a twinkle in her. He knew he was going to pay for letting it slip.

"Lorelai" he says her name as awarning

"Come on you can tell me I wont say a word my lips are sealed"she moves her fingers across her lips with a pretend zipper

"I can't" he looks away from her

"If you have to be in here help me stock" he says as he rips open another box

"Mmph" Lorelai mumbled her lips still pressed together

"Lorelai stop it"

She pulls open the imaginary zipper to speak

"I told you my lips were sealed"

"Are you going to tell me who other person is?"

"No"

"Oh goody I get to guess Lets see hmm" she thinks it over for a few seconds a small smile playing across her lips

"Ok I know who it is" she says as seriously as she can

Luke shifts slightly from one foot to the other looking down at his feet Oh God she can't know can she?

Lorelei's voice brings him back from his thoughts

"Come on don't you wanna know who I think it is?"

"No"

"Come on" she says pushing out her bottom lip in a mock pout knowing she will get her way

"Fine tell me"

"Miss Patty" at his groan she continues through her list

"Babbat"

"Oh I know Kirk you know he would be lost without you"

"Lorelai" he says with a look of annoyance

"You know I can keep this up all day it would be faster for you to just tell me"

"I can't not now" he says not meeting her eyes

"Ok then you asked for it Sookie, Taylor, Rory" she preceded to list off everyone in the town in one long drawn out breath she finally stopped to catch her breath. She looked over at him tryingto gauge his reaction but there wasn't one he was staring at the box in front of him almost in a trance

"Well maybe there isn't anyone else and you're just scared"

She was afraid she had gone too far hesitantly she tried to get his attention

"Luke?" he didn't answer he didn't even move

"Come on I'm sorry" still no reaction

She slowly took a step closer to him he didn't seem to notice

So she took another step closer and another until she was right next to him.

His hand was lying on the box in front of him so she reached for it he jerked away from her. Running right into the shelf behind him he had no place to go he was trapped. He couldn't look at her. Why did she have to do this I'm suppose to be with Rachel. Rachel not Lorelai. Rachel is my girlfriend not Lorelai she lives with me. But you know you want Lorelai not Rachel oh God now I'm hearing voices. But he new it was true he wanted her more than he had ever wanted anyone before.

"Luke?" he was pulled from his thoughts by her voice. She was so close to him. Her scent was overpowering. He took a deep breath closing his eyes trying to memorize her scent. She smelled of coffee and lilacs and something else he couldn't identify.

Oh God he hates me! He's even doing the deep breathing and count to ten thing I taught him to help him deal with Kirk. He's probably trying to figure out were he can dispose of my body. I always knew he would snap at some point. But I didn't think I would be the one to make him snap. Well okay I did but I didn't think it would be so soon.

"Loral?" she slowly opened her eyes to see his bright blue ones staring back at her. When did I close them? She expected to see anger in his eyes but instead she saw worry and something else she couldn't quite identify.

"Yea" she said looking away from him

"You left someone off of your list" a soft smile playing across his lips.

Lorelai looked up still not meeting his eyes. Gasping slightly at his close proximity. His face was only inches from hers. When had he moved closer?

"Who?" was all she could get out

"You" was all he said before he closed the distance between them. Barely touching his lips to her's in a silent question. She puts her arms around his neck pulling him down to her in a crushing kiss. They both put everything they had into the kiss. All of the emotions they had held at bay for so long. Luke pulled her body in closer to his crushing her body to him. When the need for air won they pulled slightly apart. Lorelai slid her hands down to rest on his chest. Her forehead rested against his not wanting to break contact yet. They tried to slow their ragged breathing. Neither one of them noticed the person standing in the doorway watching them.

A/N: I hope you like this. I have writers block I'm not sure when the next part will be up. So if you have any ideals let me know.
