Gilmoremajorfan – Thank you so much!

Waitingtuesday – I'm glad I've saved someone.

Muffin Is Injured – I love you! You don't know ho glad I am to know you. I'm super sad that safety dance will be ending, but I'm sure you'll write some more stories, if not just for me then for others. The junior paper is an evil thing, yes. I'm not super good at the dirty stuff, but I am a hormonal teenager and I really love to daydream about Luke's body... My god, I just lost it. Anyway, thanks a ton to you for the review!

Special thanks to: Kimmers, Serenyty, VeroSNM, and Chrisy89rocks for your reviews.

ProfeSseR – I'm glad you got to read the chapter. I mean, that would suck if you didn't get to read it. I've noticed that you've reviewed all of my fics. You win the official first annual always-reviews award!

A/N: Hey guys! Sorry it took me forever to update... I lost some will power in this area. This is the new chapter. It's short, but I didn't want to make anyone wait even longer for all of it, so you'll get the next part soon. Probably tomorrow. Enjoy, please, and review!

Chapter Three: Beaus, Blushing, and Beliefs

333333333333333333333333333333333

It was hard for Lorelai to remain on her stool and to not jump over the counter to tackle Luke. For the past forty minutes he had been wiping down the granite surface, looking up every once in a while to shoot her half smiles.

Why does Luke look so attractive today? I mean, he's always attractive, extremely attractive...with his stubble and his long hair and his blue eyes...And the way his undershirts cling to his body...

Luke accidentally knocked over a salt shaker and Lorelai jumped.

What? Oh...whoops...I started daydreaming about Luke...

She lifted her hand to her face and pressed her palm to her cheek.

Am I blushing?

Luke chuckled at her dazed and flushed face.

Oh my gosh! I want to jump Luke! In front of everyone!

He was called over to a table, so he hurried away, giving her one last amused glance.

I wish I knew what she was thinking.

Lorelai sighed and stood from her seat. She tried her best to get rid of the blush on her face before saying goodbye to her boyfriend. He met her in front of the door.

"Going to the Inn?"

"You bet. It is where I make all of my money. The money I use to pay you."

Luke smirked. "Dirty."

Lorelai giggled. "It was a potential dirty. I really am rubbing off on you."

"Again, dirty."

"I make it easy for you."

"Yes. Anyway, see you tonight?"

"Yes."

They were being drawn to each other during their conversation, their bodies like magnets made just for the other's body. They came together and kissed, though hesitantly at first. It managed to become much more fervent than their usual good bye kisses.

"I love you," Lorelai said against his mouth, so that no one could hear.

He kissed across her cheek to her ear, where he whispered, "I love you, too."

She stepped away from him, beaming. "Why, Luke! You're such a softie! I never thought you could be so sweet," she teased, grabbing his hand and squeezing it.

"Get out," he growled, but his slight grin gave him away. He watched as she laughed and turned to leave.

I have so much to tell Sookie.

After finishing a small pile of paperwork, Lorelai went to find Michel behind the front desk. She grinned at him.

He eyed her suspiciously. "What is that look for?"

She said nothing, only leaned her chin in her hands, propping her elbows on the desktop.

"No."

She batted her eye lashes at him.

"I said no."

She crossed her arms and laid her head atop them, still watching him.

"I don't like that look. What do you want?"

"I don't want anything," she said, almost seductively.

Michel looked horrified. "Get away from me. Now."

She straightened and beamed at his annoyance, picking her purse up from the ground and swinging it at her side. "Gladly. I'm going to Sookie's house."

"I loathe you with the fire of a thousand suns."

"You, too, hun!"

Lorelai made herself at home after she arrived, her and Sookie chatting about generic topics. It was only when Sookie asked how Luke was when Lorelai remembered why she had come.

For a second, Lorelai got a far off look, remembering exactly the cause of her happiness. Sookie called her name a couple off times, waving her hand in front of Lorelai's face, and then the pregnant woman smacked Lorelai's shoulder. Lorelai jumped.

"No need to hit, Sookie. I just got a little distracted."

Sookie blushed. "Sorry. Why did you suddenly get distracted? I mentioned Luke and you were gone, trotting off down your own yellow brick road, even though you'd probably want it to be pink since it is your brick road... but you'd be on it, trying to find the wizard of...Gilmore Land...Oz..." Sookie finished rather awkwardly, her voice dropping off in embarrassment.

Lorelai chuckled. "You, my very pregnant, about to pop friend, have gone berserk."

Sookie sighed. "I know."

Lorelai broke out into a huge grin then, aiming the smile at her friend. "So guess what happened last night."

"You got lucky."

"Sookie!"

"I'm sorry! I've been kind of deprived lately so all I can think about is sex. Plus, this baby is a torture, thus making me think of the way it was conceived..."

"Sookie..."

"Right. So...Luke asked you to marry him."

Lorelai's eyes widened. "No! Why would you think that?" Sookie is a crazy, crazy lady. Although, it might be nice, one day, if Luke asked me to marry him.

Sookie only smirked and said, "No reason." At Lorelai's disturbed look, she insisted, "Keep going!"

"Well...He told me he loved me."

"That's all?"

What is she talking about! This is an amazing thing!

"This is not a 'that's all?' appropriate moment. This is much, much, much bigger than 'that's all?'"

"I'm sorry! It's just so obvious that he loves you that I'm surprised you're surprised."

"Well, I said it back to him."

"Again, that's all?"

"Sookie!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's just...I know this is your first time ever saying I love you, but it is completely apparent that you love him too."

"Is it really that noticeable?"

Sookie nodded vigorously. "You have no idea how much." At Lorelai's wistful smile, Sookie said, "You're really happy, aren't you?"

Lorelai's eyes glittered. "You have no idea how much."

Sookie pat her friend's knee. "I'm so happy for you, Lorelai. This is so good!"

"I know! I just... I love him, Sook. I can't even put into words how much."

"You're so cute, Lorelai."

A/N: Okay, I know people have been reviewing my other fics as well, but I must say: some of them will not be updated.

Not being Updated: A Mighty Quarrel, Hard To Get, Victory Is Lovely, Little Story of love, Hellfire, My Vacation, Spooky is This Woman, and The Gift series.

Being Updated: Life's A Wild Ride, and Accidents will happen will be updated (I will probably write a different version of Accidents Will Happen, and it will most likely be the start of the Accidents Happen series.)

These are debatable, but only if a lot of people request stories to be continued will I do so.

Thank you guys so much!
