"...I can make sure you never call her that again."
"And how are you gonna do that?" Jason replies trying to be threatening, but sounding more and more weak by the syllable. "She's just a slut. No one can change her."
Lorelai grabs Luke by the arm as he lurches toward her... ex-boyfriend? "Luke, don't." She almost can't speak between sniffles. "He's gone, I promise. He doesn't matter, I just want you to be..." He takes a step back to try to calm himself and not do anything he'll regret later. "okay... and not hurt by... everything."
His glare still melting Jason like an m&m in Brad Pitt's mouth, "I can't just let him... say those things. He's wrong and he should know it."
Luke beating up Jason for me? Could be kinda sexy... and sweet at the same time. Like he was coming to my rescue again... just with fists... Hmm. "Okay, you can hit him, but only once." She pecks his cheek in spite of Jason with his mouth agape.
"Thank you." Luke strikes powerfully at Jason's jaw... breaking it? No, but damn near close. Mr. Insurance hits the floor.
...Ow! That hurt my fist!
Lorelai grins at her man- the Diner Man- just a working boxing name, of course. "Wow!"
"And ow!" Jason yelps from the hard wood.
"She told me too," he grins as cutely as Lorelai facing her to look her straight in the eyes.
"Yes, I did."
Jason crawls up from the floor, and brushes himself off trying to savor in dignity he might possibly have left. "...The diner owner? Really, Lorelai?"
She's still facing Luke content and overjoyed with her winnings- a hurt Jason that is probably now missing a couple teeth, and a near-perfect Luke. "I wish I was as strong as you are, Luke. I could join in the fun of smacking around my ex-boyfriend... Ooh! I know!" She walks over to Jason. He takes a step back, actually scared of Lorelai. She knees him right where... well, you know where. Ha ha! So much fun. "Cause it didn't work very well anyway." He groans and doubles-over as she walks to hug Luke.
"Nice," he compliments.
"Thank you very much. You weren't bad yourself."
"For the hitting or what came before?"
"Well, both, of course... Luke?..."
Jason stands up straight- this time with no dignity whatsoever. "Bye, Lorelai," he offers.
"See ya, Jason."
He leaves as Luke looks slightly confused. "Wait. What? Why will you see him?"
"He's my father's business partner. We'll still surely see each other... a lot... more than a lot. ...Wait, why didn't I think of this before? If we broke up, wouldn't it be weird? Um, yeah it would be... will be."
"I'm so sorry, Lorelai."
"Like it's your fault? In spite of you I'll be miserable because of Jason. Trust me, you've done everything you can."
"I can do this, can't I?" He kisses her passionately.
As he pulls her closer and she slips her tongue in to meet his, tears well up in her eyes. He pulls away feeling a tear brush against his cheek. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, absolutely nothing, you're perfect... I'm not good enough for you, but you're absolutely perfect."
"Lorelai, what are you talking about?" She's concerning him as he's worried for what she's thinking.
"...He's right. I'm just a slut who can't remember when she already has a boyfriend."
"He's not right at all, and you know it."
"No, I don't know–"
"Lorelai, I love you... because you are an independent, capable, witty woman. If he makes you doubt yourself, you shouldn't get used to it. You're with me now, and I love you because you're you. That guy's a jerk. We both know it, ...right?"
"Right." She nods, but still doesn't seem completely satisfied. "...I'm so sorry, Luke. You don't deserve all this, uh... drama. ...I mean I even remembered Jason when I thought we might kiss, but that was it, just one thought, and even then it was 'He doesn't have to know'. ...I'm awful. I really want to believe I'm good enough for you. ...You're so sweet. I love you too. ...Damn it! Ugh! Why did we.. and he...," she mumbles under her breath. "well... hmm... damn."
"What, what!" he says utterly confused.
I'm gonna leave you on a cliffhanger cause I know how much you love them, right? Hee hee! I love how I can torture you people. Take guesses as to what Lorelai is worried about, I love it when you try to guess. I know this one was pretty short too, but I already have a little more than what I posted typed for the next chapter. Review more and I'll update sooner! Inspiration and compliments are powerful things, really. Within the next few days, k?
