Chapter Six---The Basis of a Good Relationship: Honest Communication

Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Gilmore Girls, even though, I wish I did.

A/n: Thanx SO much for all the encouragement and suggestions! You guys keep me going. Here's the next chapter. I worked around the wall the best I could.

Lorelai looked up at Luke. "So, are we going to talk about what happened last night or continue to ignore the subject?"

He kissed the tip of her nose and stood up. "Let's get dressed and go down to the diner for a real breakfast."

"Luke!" Lorelai shouted.

"Yeah?" He asked after he pulled his shirt over his head.

"Are we just going to ignore…Wait, Fruit Loops are a real breakfast. The commercial even says its 'part of a complete breakfast.'" She stood with her hands on her hips.

"Keyword being part. Meaning you need to eat something with it." Luke emphasized. He dug through the blanket for his jeans.

"Pop-tarts don't count?" She spotted his jeans under the chair and reached around to pick them up and hand them to him.

He took them from her and pulled them on. "Hmm…considering they're nothing but sugar, I think not."

Lorelai stuck out her tongue. "Fine, you win, but I'll be getting you back."

He picked his shoes up in the entryway and slipped them on. "Sure."

Lorelai went upstairs to get dressed.

"Let's go." He said after she came back down. He put his cap back on his head, grabbed his toolbox and headed out the door.

"Don't think just because you adverted my question doesn't mean I'm not going to get an answer." She told him, following him out the door. He ignored her.

They walked down the street to the diner in silence. Lorelai was tempted to take his hand but wasn't sure if he wanted the rest of the town to know about Them yet.

She felt lucky to be the first customer for the day. She took her seat in a stool at the counter. Lorelai sipped her coffee as she waited for Luke to make breakfast.

He had just brought out the plates when Babette, Mrs. Cassini, and Miss Patty came bursting through the diner door.

"Good Morning, Love birds." Miss Patty greeted taking the stool next to Lorelai. She kept quiet just in case she was joking.

"It's about time." Mrs. Cassini commented.

"Great Job, Honey." Babette added, nudging Lorelai's arm.

"What are you guys talking about?" She asked.

"Word traveled fast that you two had a big night last night." Patty informed.

"What are you talking about?" Lorelai asked casually, twirling a strand of hair around her finger.

"Fine, don't admit it, but you can't play the senseless card for long." Patty said looking at her then Luke and back to her.

"Have a great day." Mrs. Cassini commented, giving Lorelai a wink and following Patty and Babette out the door.

After they left Lorelai let out the breath she'd been holding. "I tell one person and the whole town knows within two hours." She groaned, placing her head in her hands.

"Who did you tell?" Luke asked, leaning on the counter in front of her.

"I cannot tell a lie. I called Rory before you woke up and she must've told Lane or someone." Lorelai confessed, looking down into her coffee cup.

"I guess it's good that you did. The town has to know sooner or later." He brought the plates to one of the tables.

Lorelai hopped down off her stool. "So, does that mean we're 'together' now?" She asked using air quotes.

He set the plates down and stood in front of her, taking both her hands. "I guess so. I mean, do you want to be 'together'?" He asked staring down at their hands.

Placing a finger under his chin she turned his gaze to look at her. "I always have." She replied.

He reached up with both hands and wrapped them around her neck. He leaned in and took her mouth in his. They pulled apart.

"So have I." He admitted smiling.
