Chapter 2
Rory was walking home that night and thought about all the times that Luke and her mother have spent together. He has always been there for them and will always. She knew that. Lorelai knew that, but she was trying to depend on someone else for a change now. She found Max. Rory's teacher, Max.
Rory walked into the house and heard her mother screaming, but laughing at the same time. She went into the living room where Rory immediately saw Max on top of Lorelai on the couch. He had her pinned down and was tickling her. Rory didn't want to interrupt so she snuck into her room very quietly. She made it and the screaming continued. Rory loved to see her mother like this. She was so happy.
A couple minutes later there was silence.
'Oh no. Are they doing what I think their doing. I can't be here when that happens! This is not right. I have to leave. O! But what if they are on the couch. EWW! I don't want to sit there! I will take my chances.' Rory walked slowly out of her room. She had images in her mind of what she could be witnessing at this very moment. She made it to the door and slowly looked at the couch. She saw Lorelai and Max only kissing. Not doing anything else. So she opened the door and shut it like she came into the house and they stopped immediately.
"Hey, Rory. What took you so long?" Lorelai said out of breath.
" Well, Mrs. Kim had flaxseed. And she made me stay. Long story short, im really hungry." Rory said hesitantly.
"Hey, Rory!" Max said looking at Rory who was still by the door.
"Hey. Um. I am going to go into my room and study, so go back to your dirtiness." Rory said looking at her mother.
"Thanks" Lorelai mouthed to Rory as she walked to her bedroom.
Lorelai looked into Maxes eyes. He had this sense of glow to his face and when he looked at her.
"Where did we leave off..." Max said
"Well I believe we were right here." Lorelai said as she kissed his lips gently and then pulling back making him want more.
"Uh! You know how to tease you know that?" Max said.
"Well that's my name Lorelai the tease." lorelai couldn't even get those words out because she was stopped by Maxes lips on hers. She knew that he wanted to kiss her, but she didn't know this badly.
"Max, I'm really tired. Can we go to bed?" Lorelai said with a tone of voice that could make any man say yes.
"Well, I guess. But only because I love you." Max said.
"Oh. My. I love you too. But I am very very tired and I need my sleep for work tomorrow." Lorelai said.
Lorelai and Max went upstairs and got ready for bed. When Lorelai was about to get into bed Max came over and pushed himself on top of her.
"I just want a goodnight kiss." max said.
"Well. All you had to do is ask. I'm always up for goodnight kisses." Lorelai said as she slowly went up to his lips and touched them gently. She deepened the kiss and rolled over so she was on top of him.
"I like am a leader not a follower." Lorelai said as she kissed him again. He never thought that a goodnight kiss could be so intense. He didn't care though.
"Goodnight." Lorelai said rolling off of him and into her spot on the bed. She got under the covers and waited for him to do the same. When he got in she snuggled up against him and put her head on his bare chest. They were so close together that they fell asleep right away.
Luke's apartment. That same night.
Luke was sitting on his ed looking at the photo of Lorelai and Luke that Rachael took at the firelight Festival before she left. He knew he couldn't do anything to stop her from getting married. She was happy and he liked that. But deep down inside of Luke he was hurt and jealous. He was always jealous of every guy that came into her life.
'It's too late. I don't have a chance wit her anymore. She is taken and I cannot change that.' Luke thought.
Rory came over and told him all this, but why. He thought.
'Does she not like him. Does she like me? Does she want us?'
Luke couldn't take it anymore, he had to go to bed. He had to clear his mind of everything so he could think about it more tomorrow. Luke turned out the light and tried to go to sleep. He knew that Lorelai would be in his dreams that night.
