"Hey!" she said quietly, waving. She was standing in the entryway. I waved back and asked her if we could talk outside on the porch. She nodded shyly and we took a seat on the porch swing.
We sat in silence, for what seemed like, an eternity. I pushed myself to remember why I came over there.
"So…How's your dad?" I said the first thing that came to mind. He gave me a look that asked how I knew. "This is Stars Hollow."
"Oh, he's getting a little better. I got him to eat some oatmeal this morning." He finally informed me. "Why'd you really come over?" he was wringing his hands together and staring at a distant point in front of him.
"I wanted to apologize. I feel really ugly about leaving you in the dust last week. I wanted to see if you'd let me make it up to you?"
We ended up spending the night together, watching movies in the adjoining room next to my mother's. We debated about which movies to which to rent. We landed on "It Happened One Night" and his personal pick for the evening, "Die Hard." I rolled my eyes at the plot. What was it with men and action movies?
A great boom sound woke me from my nap. I glanced at the clock on the nightstand and saw it was nearly two AM. I sat up and yawned.
"Hey Sleeping Beauty. I take it you don't like Bruce Willis films. You've been out for nearly an hour." Luke remarked, he was sitting up in the bed next to me.
"Yeah, I guess watching a man that thinks he knows everything doesn't excite me." I replied, I saw that he had turned off the movie.
I just stared at her in silence. My gaze shifted to her lips. She must have noticed because she chose to start staring at the ceiling. I eventually couldn't stand the eerie quiet moment we were having. I placed a hand on top of hers.
"Lorelai?" The mixture of my touch and the sound of my voice seemed to turn her gaze to mine. "You know I like you, right?"
She didn't say anything, just leaned my direction and took my mouth with hers. I didn't want to ruin the moment by saying anything. I explored her with the desperation I'd been building all night. We kissed, caressed, and tasted each other until the rest of the world seemed to disappear and it was just the two of us. Clothes eventually started to get in the way, so we shed them, item by item.
The sun shone brightly through the bedroom window the next morning. I squinted at the clock as I sat up, the sheet covering the top half of my body. Eight o' clock. I sighed and plopped my head back down on my pillow. When I rolled over and saw a sleeping man in the bed next to me the events of the night came flooding back to me.
Bed, Luke, Nakedness?
The thought made me grin. What surprised me was that my mother hadn't busted in and started screaming at the top of her lungs. I fell back to sleep. Luke was gone by the time I woke up the second time.
I got up, dressed, and walked into class late. I pretty much zoned out the rest of the day. I couldn't get my mind off what had happened. Luke avoided me at lunch and when I tried to talk to him at his locker. Was he embarrassed? I didn't blame him if he was.
As if my life didn't suck anymore than if already did, when I walked in the door my mother told me she wanted to talk. She told me that my father and she came to an agreement and that we were moving back to Hartford. I was upset and elated at the same time. I was excited to be going back home but I knew I would miss Stars Hollow. I went to bed and cried myself to sleep. Mostly because of Luke's attitude about the dangerous territory they crossed last night at the hopes that he'd act differently.
My mother had our things packed and ready when I woke up. I told her I at least needed to have breakfast before we left. I went downstairs and ate with Sookie. When I told her the horrible news, we hugged and cried, cried and hugged. We eventually let go.
I watched the town leave as we drove away. I watched the little children play in the square and the many people that walked the streets, basking in the wonder of the snow.
Luke saw us pass by the school and I caught his gaze for a moment, I watched him until the building wasn't visable anymore.
