Someone Special

Chapter 2

When they were on the road Lorelai called Sookie to let her know that the wedding was off and told her to mention it to Patty. All that time Lorelai was talking to Sookie she wanted to tell her what she did but she refrained. She had to tell Rory first. She always told Rory everything but she didn't know what was keeping her from telling her now.

They wanted to go down stairs and grab something to eat but it was crawling with dentist. So they stayed upstairs.

"What do you want to do?" Rory asked.

"We could go to sleep." Lorelai suggested.

"It's 8:23 and I'm not sleepy." Rory said, "We could talk."

"Okay. What about?"

"Okay uh… well we haven't really talked about guys lately." Rory said carefully.

Lorelai could see were this was going, "I don't want to talk about Max."

Rory put her hands up defensively, "I didn't say anything about Max."

"Yeah okay. Well I have something to say." Lorelai was about to tell Rory about Luke. "You know what never mind."

"No come on tell me. I'm really bored and hungry right now and I need something to talk about to get my mind off of my stomach."

Lorelai thought for a moment, "Okay then if I tell you promise me you won't mention anything about Max." Rory nodded, "Alright right before I told you to pack I was at Luke's. I went for a coffee and no one was there. So we start talking about … you know and uh… I sort of but not really…" Rory motioned her to continue, "uh… kissed him?" Rory's eyes widened and opened her mouth but got cut off by Lorelai, "No Max stuff."

There were a thousand thoughts in Rory's head right now. Did she leave Max for Luke? Why did she kiss Luke? How did it happen? Finally Rory picked a thought, "So uh how do you feel about it?"

"I don't know. I mean I love him and everything." Rory was shocked at the word that just came out of Lorelai's mouth, "As a FRIEND," Lorelai emphasized. "But I really don't know. I really never thought about him being like a boyfriend."

"Would you consider it though?" Lorelai shrugged.

"Maybe. I mean if I don't ever talk to him again about that kiss I don't think it'd be normal for us ever again but then again if I do talk to him I don't think it'd be normal either. And if I don't talk to him I don't think we could ever have coffee at his place ever again."

"But if you do go out with him we could get free coffee." Rory pointed out.

"So you're saying we just use him for our coffee needs?"

"Mom we're getting off topic. So are you going to date him?"

"I'm going to have to talk to him. But what do you think would it be way too weird?" Rory thought for a moment.

"We do see him everyday but then you guys would kiss like everyday so that'd be kind of gross." Lorelai made a face.

"It's not like I'm going to kiss him in front of everyone in the diner everyday!" Rory smirked and started making kissing sounds.

"What about Dean? Oh Dean come here so I can kiss you!"

"I don't say that!" Rory shot her a glare.

"You know what I just noticed? We are so immature."

"Speak for yourself. You're the one with a 'Hello Kitty' waffle iron" Rory and Lorelai talked for hours until both of them were tired so they went to sleep.

When they got back to Stars Hollow everyone looked really sad. Kirk offered Lorelai a hug. Which was mildly disturbing. When they got home they saw that the chuppah Luke made was still there. Lorelai stared at it thinking about Luke. Thinking about all the things he had done for her. He had fixed so many things at there house, he had taken her to the hospital when her father was ill, he had made her this beautiful chuppah with a goat on it, she never really realized it before but Luke had always been there for her. Rory noticed her mom was staring out into space.

"Hey mom? You alright?" Rory asked. Lorelai snapped back to reality then nodded.

"Just tired. Hey can you grab a coffee and a burger for me from Luke's?"

"Why can't we go together?" Rory asked.

"Well one Luke's there. Two Luke's there. And oh yeah Luke's there."

"So you aren't even going to talk to him? How are we ever going to eat there again?"

"Oh no see you can still go because you'll pretend you don't know what happened. Then you can order two of everything."

"I can't lie to Luke." Lorelai rolled her eyes.

"Of course you can where in the world is the girl I raised? And plus if he doesn't bring it up you don't have to say anything."

"Okay just this once I'll get food for you but after this you're going to have to get your own food." Rory said.

"Thank you so much! I love you! Oh and bring home a doughnut too."

Rory went off to Luke's, "Hey Luke! Long time no see!" Rory said cheerfully.

"Hey Rory, where have you been?" Luke asked.

"My mom and I stayed at a B&B and went to Harvard."

"Must have been fun. By the way where is your mom?" Luke acted completely normal.

"Oh uh she's a little tired from driving so I'm getting her something."

"Oh alright then what will you have?" Luke took out his pen.

"We'll have two coffees, two cheese burgers, and two chocolate doughnuts."

"Coming right up." Luke went into the kitchen then back out.

Lorelai was going to hate Rory for what she is about to do right now but Rory had to find out so she asked Luke, "Luke uh can I talk to you for a sec? In private." Luke was a little confused but nodded and they made their way behind the curtain and went up to Luke's miniature apartment that used to be his dad's office.

"Okay I need to ask you something and please, please, please don't tell my mom about this." Luke nodded so she continued, "Well as you know Lorelai is avoiding you."

"Uh no she's not you just said that . . . wait you know don't you?"

"Yes and that's the reason we are back here talking in private. Anyways we both know that she probably won't come anywhere near your place for a while or until I stop getting mom her coffee and food."

"Yeah I kind of figured." Luke sighed.

"Yeah so I was thinking that maybe one day in the near future when I'm out of the house you come and maybe talk to my mom?" Rory suggested hopefully.

"I don't know Rory it'd be kind of weird."

"Yeah but it's already a little weird and I'm not going to fetch my mom's food everyday." Rory complained.

"You know you don't have to get her food everyday though she'd probably starve."

"Yeah we wouldn't want that to happen. So will you talk to her?"

Luke thought for a moment then sighed, "If she doesn't come in the diner for 5 days then I'll go and talk to her."

"Okay fair enough. Hey I have another question. What exactly are you going to say?"

"I donno I was kind of hoping that your mom will do all the talking because most of the time she does anyway."

"Well better start thinking cuz you're the one coming over to talk."

"Hey can I ask you something?" Rory nodded, "If your mom and I maybe got together how you would feel cuz I know you mean everything to her and I don't want you to be upset." Luke emphasized 'If'

"I'd be fine with it I guess it'd be weird but you guys known each other for a long time and everything and it's not like I don't see you everyday."

"Okay it's good to know."

"You really like her don't you?" Rory got a little too bold but Luke didn't care.

"Yeah. Oh man I can't believe I just said that you tell your mom everything. No doubt you're going to tell her."

"Luke I'm not going to tell her cuz then I'd have to tell her that I told you that I knew and then she'd get pissed at me and probably not even want to talk to you."

"Oh right. Okay so I should get your food." They went back downstairs and Rory got her food and left for home.

"Yay! Food! Me Starving!" Rory rolled her eyes.
