Luke still clad in only his boxers and a grey shirt, was stnadinf at the stove cooking pancakes while Lorelai sat at the table, coffee mug in hand admiring the delicious view and she wasn't thinking about breakfast. Luke turned and caught he staring, but Lorelai still did not divert her eyes.
'See something you like?'
Lorelai smiled, the conversation starting out with a playful tone.
'Oh yea.'
Luke smiled. It would be so simple to fall back into their regular routine of easy banter and flirty looks but really they needed to talk, and it needed to be serious. A lot of things needed to be sorted out and the only way to start a conversation like that was with the four dreaded words in any relationship.
'We need to talk.'
His tone was serious but not too much as to scare her. She nodded her head.
'Yes, we do and we will, but after breakfast and at least three more cups of coffee.'
'Deal.'
Luke prepared their meal and sat two plates down on the table, grabbed a glass and then went to the fridge for the orange juice. He poured himself a glass and then sat down at the table. Lorelai's hand rested on the top of the table and Luke covered her hand with his as he began to eat. They continued to eat in silence, glancing at each other every once in awhile, a slight smile gracing both of their lips. When Luke was through he squeezed her hand, got up and put his dish in the sink. Lorelai continued to eat.
'I'm gonna go and get cleaned up and dressed. Be back shortly.'
Lorelai smiled and nodded.
'Okay.'
Luke then went upstairs Lorelai finished her last pancake then got up and took her mug and plate to the sink. She cleaned bother plates, something she always did when she was nervous. She then headed into Rory's bathroom to get cleaned up. The sooner they talked the sooner she'd feel better. So when she stepped into the shower, the crappy water pressure didn't bother her.

Both Logan and Rory were now dressed to go out. Logan had told Rory that he wanted to take her out to breakfast. She told him she had a lunch date so it would have to be quick. So they were getting ready to head out. Logan opened Rory's door to find a slightly dishelved Paris standing there.
'Good Morning, Paris. What do we owe the pleasure of your company here at Rory's door?'
'Shove it, Huntzenberger.'
Logan turned to Rory.
'She's your roomate, I'll be out here if you need me.'
Rory smiled and Logan headed out to the couch while Paris headed into Rory's room and closed the door. Rory sat at her window and Paris sat on the bed.
'What's going on Paris, Logan's waiting?'
'It's Doyle.'
'What's Doyle?'
'The problem, it's Doyle, he's jealous of the friendship I have with Cooper.'
'Who's Cooper?'
'Just a friend.'
'Yea, that's what they all say.'
Rory rolled her eyes, remembering her conversation with Dean about Jess so many moons ago.
'Gilmore, are you even listening to me?'
Rory snapped from her thought.
'Oh, sorry Paris. So tell me more about this Cooper fellow.'
'He's just a guy, a friend. I met him in biology.'
'So Doyle has nothing to worry about?'
Paris looked to the girl that she now thought of as her best friend. She wanted to confide in Rory but had never opened herself up to anyone that much before. Paris sighed. It was now or never.
'Truthfully Rory, I'm nto sure. But if you say anything to anyone about this, I'll kill you. And I can, perfect opportunity to come in here and smother you in your sleep. Got it?'
'Got it. Well Paris all I can tell you is be straight with both boys. If you like Cooper tell Doyle, don't let him find out another way. If you don't like Cooper than all is well. But you have to decide you can't lead them both on. Remember what happened between Jess and Dean.'
'Yes.'
'Don't let that happen. You could end up losing them both and regretting it. Just be honest with them. Does Cooper even like you?'
'I'm not sure, but he does flirt with me.'
'Well, follow your heart and yes I know totally cliche advise but it's all I can really give ya.'
'Thanks Rory.'
'Keep me updated.'
'I will, alright I think I'm good now.'
'You sure?'
'Yea.'
'Okay.'I'm gonna head out, but if you need to you can reach me on the cell.'
'Alright.'
'Thanks again.'
'Not a problem.'
Paris then rose from her seated position and walked out of the room in front of Rory.
'Logan, she's all yours.'
'Thank you, Paris.'
Logan got up from the couch and led Rory to the front door.
'See you later, Paris.'
'Ya, later.'
Rory and Logan left for breakfast while Paris went into her room.
