Chapter 3: Guess Who
Lorelai was positively giddy as she walked back to her house in the early morning sunshine. Her fingers traced her lips lightly every few seconds, still amazed at the tingly feeling still running through them. The feeling of Luke's lips on hers was etched in her brain, and wouldn't be a memory soon forgotten. Once she caught sight of her house, she skipped over to the jeep parked in her driveway, and opened the door to let herself inside. She turned it on, letting the engine rev a little, and flipped on the radio. Every station was annoyingly playing commercials or morning talk shows, and she turned it off after the elevator music started. Sighing to herself, mad that the radio was ruining her good mood, she decided to move on to other forms of entertaining herself. She grabbed her purse and fished out her cell phone, dialing the familiar number as she backed out onto the main street headed toward the Dragonfly.
Rory picked up on the fourth ring, "Hello?" she said groggily.
"Hey sweets!" Lorelai sang out loudly.
"Mom? Why are you calling me at 6 o'clock in the morning? And why are you so chipper?" Rory pulled her covers around herself tighter, trying to keep her eyes open.
"I just kissed somebody," Lorelai proclaimed in a sing song voice. "Guess who?"
Rory sat up in her bed, a puzzled look on her face. "Who are you kissing at 6 o'clock in the morning?"
"Guess." Lorelai pulled up to a red light, and starting messing with the radio again.
"It's way too early for me to come up with a witty response to that one, so give me a hint." Her brain was zinging with possibilities, but she couldn't think of anyone who could seriously be a candidate.
"Okay, well it was a guy."
"That narrows it down for me."
"He lives in Stars Hollow and has brown hair."
"Oh, you've finally admitted your feelings for Kirk then?"
Lorelai gasped, "Don't even kid about that one. He has a girlfriend you know."
"How could anyone not know he has a girlfriend, he tells everyone he sees!" Rory heard a honking noise coming from her mom's end of the phone. "Are you in the car?"
"Yeah I'm on my way to work."
"At 6 o'clock in the morning?"
"I think we have established that it is now 6 o'clock in the morning Rory. Now keep guessing! You have to keep me occupied because there is nothing on the radio this early in the morning and the CD player is on strike."
"It's just mad because you were playing your Jimmy Buffet again. Oh hey, could your new kissing buddy fix your CD player?"
"Oh yes he definitely could." A mental image of Luke bent over her car, fixing her CD player flashed across her mind, but she pushed it away when Rory spoke again.
"Hmm okay, so the clues are: he's a guy, he lives in Stars Hollow, he has brown hair, and he can fix things."
"Yup, he's so dreamy isn't he?" Lorelai giggled to herself, pulling into the inn. She got out of the car and stumbled when she tried to balance her purse and her folder full of paperwork while keeping her phone pressed to her ear. "Only one cup of Luke's coffee was not enough this morning let me tell ya."
"You've already been to Luke's this morning too? You've been busy…" Rory stopped speaking suddenly, a certain brown haired Stars Hollow resident popping up in her head. "Oh my God mom, you kissed Luke?!"
A wide grin spread across Lorelai's face, despite the pile of papers now strewn around her feet. "I knew there was a reason I sent you to Yale."
"Did this all just happen this morning?"
"Well not exactly. Lets just say that we got a little bit tipsy last night at Babette's party and some things came out into the open."
"Some things?"
"Yes, like how Luke and I feel about each other."
"How exactly do you feel about him mom?"
Lorelai couldn't stop smiling, but this was all still so new. "I'm not sure exactly, but I know that it is a good feeling. A really good feeling."
Rory smiled to herself, really glad that they had both at least admitted that there was something between them. "I just can't believe you guys actually kissed."
"I know, neither can I." Lorelai finally picked up the last of the papers off the ground, and made her way into the deserted Dragonfly. She flopped down onto one of the couches and just let herself relax for a minute. "Okay well I just wanted to tell someone my exciting news, I'll let you get back to sleep."
Rory yawned gratefully, "I'm so happy for you mom, and tell Luke I said hi when you see him."
"I will, sleep tight hon."
"Bye mom." Lorelai flipped her phone shut and settled herself back onto the couch yawning slightly. She couldn't remember the last time she felt this happy. It was about damn time.

One Week Later
Dragonfly Inn, Lunchtime
The bag of food dropped with a plop to the floor and was promptly forgotten as Lorelai attacked Luke with her mouth. He had innocently been bringing her lunch in her office when she had slammed the door behind him and pushed him roughly against the wall, forgetting entirely that he had a bag full of cheeseburgers and brownies in his hand. He didn't seem to mind much though, as he grabbed for Lorelai's waist and pulled her as close as possible without hurting her. Their mouths were kissing and sucking hungrily, and their hands were moving so fast that neither knew who was touching what, only that they needed more. Lorelai tilted her head back to moan, and take in a little bit of air, and Luke took the opportunity to nip is way down her throat, causing her to yelp and thread her fingers through his hair. He didn't stop kissing until he reached fabric, and then he turned them around so their positions against the wall were reversed, and her head was now banging lightly on the hard surface behind her. Luke's mouth returned to Lorelai's and his hands traced the skin of her toned stomach, itching to just rip her shirt off so he could taste more skin, but then he would remember that they were at the inn and someone could walk in on them at any given time since there was no lock on the door. He was going to have to fix that, he thought to himself before she started sliding her knee up his thigh and all coherent thought flew from his head.
As if the fates had heard Luke's thoughts on the lack of a lock on Lorelai's door, the handle started to jiggle, and Sookie popped her head inside. "Hey Lorelai…" she started, cutting herself off after she saw what exactly Lorelai had been doing in her office with the door closed. Luke and Lorelai pushed apart from each other panting heavily, both red in the face. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I didn't know you guys were in here, well I knew Lorelai was in here, but I had no idea that you were in here too Luke, and I swear I'll knock from now on, and…"
"Sookie!" Lorelai cut her off, "It's okay. Just give me a minute and I'll meet you in the kitchen." Lorelai was patting down her shirt, and Luke was looking everywhere but at Sookie.
"Okay, sorry again!" Sookie turned and shut the door, red faced and smiling broadly.
Back in Lorelai's office, Luke stood shuffling his feet, trying to get his breathing back under control. Lorelai finally got her shirt the way it was supposed to be, and leaned down to pick up the to-go bag from the diner. She cleared her throat, "Thanks for bringing me lunch."
He looked up at her finally and smiled sheepishly, "Anytime."
She smiled back and walked up to him again, kissing him softly on the lips. "See you after work?"
"After work," he repeated as he opened the door and walked out. Lorelai just stood watching him with a dopey grin on her face until Sookie came running back in and shut the office door.
"Okay, I want all the details! I didn't know you and Luke were that 'together' yet! Spill sister!"
Lorelai laughed, and plopped herself down into the nearest chair, she was definitely not going to get any more work done that afternoon.
