Enjoy the new part of DAYDREAMS
- Part 5 -
A few minutes later the air was filled with the scent of fresh coffee and pancakes.
Lorelai decided to take a quick shower before making her way down to the kitchen. She uncovered, got up, and searched for some clean clothes. When she finally found them she made her way to the bathroom.
She brushed her teeth, took a quick shower and washed her hair. As she stepped out of the shower and got dressed she could smell the scent of coffee even more, just like as it was trying to seduce her. Lorelai dried her hair for a few minutes and then followed the scent down the stairs.
She was in the kitchen now, watching Luke making breakfast for her.
"I knew coffee would wake you up," he said without turning around.
She smiled and closed her eyes inhaling the smell of fresh coffee as her thoughts drifted … and drifted until she was daydreaming… again.
"Hey, you're up" Luke stated while making breakfast
"Hey, you're cooking." She grinned and walked up to him
"Yep, making the works. Even threw a couple blintzes in there to confuse you".
"Wow. Where did all this come from?" Lorelai's eyes widened at the sight of food. Real food, in her house.
" What?" he asked confused, turning around
"The food, the pans, the bowls, the spatula." She looked at every thing.
"Food's from Doose's, pans and bowls, you had, and the spatula's mine." He almost smiled as he explained this to her.
"You travel with a spatula?" she grinned while pulling a mug out of the nearby cabinet.
"Sometimes."
"You've actually found yourself in scraping and flipping situations without the trusty spatula before?"
She was teasing him now, and she loved it
Luke unfazed, continued to stir at the food in the pan.
"Your coffee should be ready in a minute." He told her without looking up.
Lorelai smiled brightly
"Smells good. Umm, hey, Luke?"
" Yep?"
"You cooking this is so sweet - -." Lorelai began but was cut off by Luke rolling his eyes
"But?"
"I just figured, you know, we'd go to Luke's for breakfast."
"Why?"
"Because I like Luke's breakfast."
" I am Luke." Luke mumbled slightly annoyed.
"I know."
"This is the same stuff I make at the diner." Luke explained
"I know."
"So what's the difference?"
" Well, the difference is, while you are Luke, we're not at Luke's." Lorelai tried to make this clear.
" So?"
"Well, I have my things, you know? I have certain things. And one of my things is going to Luke's. And just because I now have "Dating Luke" doesn't mean I want to lose my "Cooking Luke."
"But I am cooking, and I am Luke." Luke grumbled.
"Look, it's like Tommy Lee having a Starbucks at his house."
Luke was lost but resumed cooking
" What?"
"On the surface, it sounds great. But half the reason you go to a Starbucks is to go to a Starbucks, you know, to go out and see the people." Now she was rambling.
"Tommy Lee has a Starbucks in his house"?
"Cribs, baby. Watch it."
"Like a whole Starbucks with workers and everything?" He cocked an eyebrow
"The point is that, while some things have changed -- and that's great -- I don't want everything to change completely." She remarked, being completely serious.
Luke sighed.
"Okay, see you at Luke's."
Lorelai grinned
"Lorelai?"
Luke was standing in front of her watching her curiously.
"LORELAI" he tried again
"Uh what?" She snapped back into reality
"Are you okay?" Luke asked, worried, "I called you about ten times and you didn't answer."
"Sure. I'm fine," she smiled. "I just remembered the day when you made breakfast for me for the first time, here at home."
"Oh, Lorelai, this isn't about going to my diner now, cause you don't want everything to change and because it's a difference if I cook here and not at the diner? "
"No," she laughed. "Its not about that." She kissed him on the lips "Its just … a nice memory, that's all"
He smiled back
"So… we're gonna stay here this time?"
"Yes Luke, c'mon its not like you never cooked for me here."
"I know, but I never made breakfast for you in here. You always wanted your breakfast at the diner."
Lorelai thought about Luke's words. He was right, they ate dinner at her place and sometimes he brought some food over for lunch, but they never had breakfast at home.
She walked up to him, her hands going around his waist.
"I actually like you cooking breakfast for me here. I know it was weird at first, and yes I said I didn't want everything to change. Maybe it was just … you know moving to fast for me, but … I like it, I like it very much."
She kissed him softly
"As for me I could wake up at my place everyday with you by my side or at the smell of your breakfast," she declared, but suddenly pulled away when she realized what she just said.
Luke looked at her. Did she really say she wanted him there every morning. Waking up at her house, making her breakfast?
"Uh.. Luke listen … I´m sorry"
"About what?" he asked her trying to get a confirmation of what she just said
"I didn't mean ... to scare you away, or something like that."
"Lorelai, I don't even know exactly what you meant by that."
Well, he could think of one or two things, but he wanted to hear it from her.
"I, uh… Just lets drop it, okay Luke?"
"No, that's not okay." He shook his head
"But, I didn't mean it … it just slipped out."
"Oh…" Luke looked at her disappointed.
As she saw the look in his eyes she touched his hand and entwined her fingers with his.
"You're disappointed," she stated simply, lifting his chin up so he had to look her in the eyes
"Kinda," he mumbled under his breath.
"So, you knew what I meant?"
"I'm not 100 sure but I thought you meant something like, well me sleeping here more often, waking up holding you, making you breakfast more often ... just ... be here more often. Maybe even.…" he trailed off.
She nodded.
"Yeah," she whispered.
"Yeah what?"
"Maybe even…."
He just looked at her.
"Lorelai, please, can't you just say it out loud?"
She sighed and took a deep breath.
But before she could answer her thoughts drifted off --
"Good morning."
He bent down and kissed her.
"Hey," she replied kissing him back "How long have you been up?"
"Not long … I was just watching you sleep."
"Aww, you know I don't like that." She covered her face.
He laughed.
"But you're so cute while you're sleeping."
"Stop that."
She playfully hit his arm
He shifted his arm and moved it around her shoulders. She leaned into him
Their eyes met.
"I'm glad you asked me to move in with you. It's like home to me," he told her.
"Luke?"
He looked at her.
"It is home, Luke. This is our home. This is Rory's, yours and my home. We are a family, Luke"
Luke smiled back at her and kissed her deeply.
Lorelai had never been happier
"Lorelai?"
No response
"Lorelai, I asked you something!"
Her eyes fluttered and she snapped out of the daze she was in.
"Sorry … I…."
He looked at her and folded his arms.
"Where were we?" she asked
"I just ... never mind."
He turned around
"No." Lorelai got hold of his arm.
"Luke, I was thinking … that sentence, it didn't just slip out. I mean yes, it did, but I meant what I said. I'd love to have you around more often. I'd love to wake up every morning in your arms, you holding me. I'd love you making breakfast for me, and…."
She took a deep breath.
"And I'd love you to ... just be here ... to stay here … to come here after you closed the diner, to sleep here, to wake up here, going to work and come back … to my place … everyday."
"Lorelai…" He looked at her confused "Do you want me to…move in?"
She nodded, glancing down at her shoes nervously waiting for his reaction.
