Maybe Now: Chapter Fourteen: Well That Was New

Sorry it has taken me such a long time to update. We were having t-storms here and I didn't want the laptop to be electrocuted. But I have continued to write, so now that the weather has cleared up I am typing it up.

Thank you as always for your awesome reviews. Only 4 more weeks of hiatus. I am not sure I will be able to make it that far. It's making my weeks go slower. Anyways...Last time on Gilmore GIrls...

Rory was just climbing out her window when all the sudden she was stuck, but before she knew it someone had grabbed her around the waist and pulled her out. She turned around to face her 'savior.' She was very surprised when she came face to face with none other than Marty. Rory looked down and her right foot played with the pavement, she wished that the earth would open up and swallow her whole.

"Thanks.'

'You looked like you needed help.'

'Yea, after watching Losomeone else do it I thought it would be easy. Apparently I just proved myself wrong.'

'Oh.'

'Well thank again.'

'No problem...'

Rory started to turn away.

'...Rory?'

She turned to face Marty again.

'Yes, Marty?'

'Do you think, I mean would it be possible to maybe get your friend's number?'

'Lane?'

'Yea, Lane.'

Rory was surprised he wanted Lane's number, she tried not to let her affect her. Instead she tried to play it off.

'Like something you saw?'

'Yea, Do you think she would mind?'

'No, I guess not.'

Rory grabbed a notebook out of her bag, wrote Lane's number of in the corner, tore of the piece and then handed it to Marty.

'Here ya go.'

'Thanks, Rory.'

'Yea.'

'Well I'm gonna go.'

'See ya.'

Rory watched Marty leave, she felt a twinge of jealousy but didn't know why. She had Logan, not necessary the best ways of having him, but in a way she wasn't available. Marty should be able to date who he pleases and if he wants to date Lane, well then let him, it wasn't going to bother her. Rory walked to to a bench in a secluded area and sat down. She pulled out her cell phone and called Lane.

'Hello?'

'Hey Lane, It's Rory,'

'Hey!'

'So I just bumped into Marty?'

'Yea?'

'And he asked for your number.'

'Really?'

'I hope you don't mind, but I gave it to him.'

'Oh.'

'Are you mad?'

'Not at all, he seemed to be really nice, and really nice on the eyes.'

'Okay, so I did a good thing?'

'Yes, Rory.'

'Okay good. I'm gonna go now. Just didn't want him to call and you wondering how he got your number.'

'Well thanks. Talk to you later.'

'Yea, later.'

Rory hung up her phone and placed it back into her bag. She then took out her book and began to read.

Lorelai smiled as Luke made his way back to the table. He had a small paper bag in his hands. Lorelai pointed to the bag.

'What's in there?'

Luke had forgotten he was carrying the bag, he looked down to the bag. Remembering its contents.

'Just tiramisu, complements of Maisy.'

'Oh, that was nice of her.'

'Yea, so did I see Buddy over here talking to you?'

'Yea, he was keeping me company.'

'Ah, what did you two talk about?'

'He was just looking out for your best interest.'

'Oh.'

'He just wants to make sure you are okay. I told him that you...we were fine, that he need not to worry about us.'

'He'll always worry.'

'I know, it's nice.'

'Yea.'

'So you ready to go?'

'Yea, gotta say...'

'...goodbye to Maisy and Buddy...'

Luke laughed.

'Yea.'

Luke then got up and he helped Lorelai up, placing his hand on the small of her back and led her to the front door. Maisy was there.

'Trying to sneak out of here.'

'Oh no Maisy, just coming to say goodbye to you, and Buddy, where is he?'

'Let me go get him.'

'Alright.'

Maisy then left the couple alone, but before long was back with Buddy in tow.

'You guys heading out?'

'Yea, just wanted to say goodbye before we left.'

'Well it was great seeing you again.'

Buddy stuck out his hand and Luke took it, where he pulled him into a hug and the women followed suit.

'Now Lorelai, make sure you get him to bring you back.'

'Definitely Maisy.'

Then Luke and Lorelai left. Luke walked her out to the truck, he then did something unexpected, he kissed her right in the parking lot.

'Well that was new.'

Luke just grunted.

'And now we are back to the normal...'

Luke grabbed her and tickled her as he opened the door to his truck, she hopped in and shielded herself from more tickling with the door. Luke laughed and then went to his side of the truck and got in.
