Chapter Dos

After smores Luke agreed to play a board game.

"How 'bout CandyLand?" Lorelai asked looking through the hall closet. Luke gave her a look from the couch."I take that as a no. Um...How 'bout Chutes and Ladders?" He gave her the same look. "Well, the only thing left is checkers."

"That sounds like it has some level of maturity." Luke replied.

"Now I'm not very good at this so go easy on me." Lorelai informed as she set up the playing board.

"Not a chance." Luke replied, cracking his knuckles.

Lorelai decided to be the black checkers and sat on the floor on the opposite side of the coffee table. They played for awhile, then on Lorelai's last turn she triple jumped Luke's last three kings, making her the winner. Luke's jaw dropped. Lorelai laughed. That had been the second game they played and she had managed to win both of them.

"Did I forget to mention that I was the middle school champ two years in a row?" Lorelai asked, a huge grin plastered on her face.

"Yeah, that would've been nice to know." Luke nodded.

Lorelai picked up the game board and the pieces and placed the box back where she had found it. She plopped down on the couch next to Luke. What to do next? Lorelai thought. Her face lit up and she jumped up off the couch, heading into Rory's bedroom. She came back into the living room carrying a battery operated radio. She flipped it on and a slow tune blared from the stereo.

"Would you like to dance?" Lorelai asked him, hand out-stretched.

"Sure, I guess." Luke replied taking her hand in his.

She pulled him off the couch and led him to the floor in front of the fireplace. She let go of his hand and wrapped both of hers up around his neck. He placed his gently on Lorelai's small waist. They softly swayed back and forth to the music and took in the sweet moment they were experiencing. Luke breathed in the natural scent Lorelai carried, a mix between coffee beans and Lavender.The closeness was comfortable. The song ended and there was a long pause. She gazed up at him. He untangled his hand from her hair and ran a thumb along the side of her jaw. Her skin was soft. They moved closer...and interrupted by Bill Bailey, the loud weatherman with the irritating voice.

"the snowstorm seems to be growing instead of settling down like we hoped. Hopefully you have enough supplies the weekend. Safety is al-" He was cut off by static. By this point they had breaken apart, standing side by side, they were both staring blankly at the radio.

"ALL WEEKEND?" Lorelai shouted, she began to pace. "We're going to starve!"

"What are you talking about?" Luke said.

"There is absolutly nothing in this house." She paused then answered.

"I'm sure there's something."

"No, there's not." she walked off to the kitchen, Luke trailing behind her.

She started digging through kitchen cuboards. After Luke figured our what she was doing, he followed her lead. They dug for a half hour. They ended up finding an unopened box of Fruit Loops, a bag of heat and eat Pizza Bites, and a gallon of milk, which Lorelai complained wasn't any good with out chocolate syrup.
She sat in the kitchen chair and sighed.

"We have to live off this?" Luke asked. Lorelai nodded. "So now what do we do?"

She stood up and walked into the living room.
