Ok after that looong A/N.. now Enjoy the newest part of DAYDREAMS

- Part 8 -

They spent the whole day in bed. Talking, making love and repeating the same all over again. They didn't even notice that it was getting darker and darker by the minute and the night approached. Finally they lay in each others arms, totally spent.

"What a day," Lorelai remarked still sweating from the previous activities.

"Oh yeah." Luke could only reply, not having the energy to get more words out.

"We should sleep." She smiled up at him resting her head on his chest.

"Mmhhmm," he replied, his eyes already closed

She closed her eyes as well, only reaching up to place a small kiss on his lips and whispering one last time "I love you" into his ear before she fell asleep.

Next day

Luke was the first one to wake up. It was still dark outside but when he looked at the clock on the nightstand he noticed that it was time for him to get up. It was already 5:30 am, half an hour later than he usually got up.

Slowly he uncovered himself and stepped out of bed making sure not to wake her. He stopped in his tracks looking down at her. Her body was only half covered and her curls were all over her face. She looked so cute and innocent while lying there. He bent down and placed a light kiss on her left shoulder blade. Then he smiled She is mine, he thought as he made his way to the bathroom.

While he stepped into the shower, letting the water run all over his body, his thoughts went back to Lorelai. He was the luckiest man in the world to have her. Finally, after eight or more years he spent waiting for her, waiting for her to notice him, to show interest in him, to date him, and to fall in love with him, it finally happened.

He smiled. He did this more often now. Of course not in public. He was still grumpy and bitchy around other people but whenever he was alone and thought about her, whenever her face appeared in his mind his lips formed a smile. He couldn't help it. Lorelai Gilmore made him be the happiest men in the whole wide world and he loved it.

He still couldn't believe that it took them over eight years to finally get together. As for him, he loved her from the first time she came into the diner. Well let's say the second time she came into his diner. The first time she was really annoying. But her funny attitude was something he couldn't get out of his head and then she came again … and again … and soon she became a regular customer at his diner, and bringing Rory along. They grew together and became best friends. But for Luke it was more. It had always been more than friendship. He remembered the first time when almost something happened between them. Lorelai forced him into repainting the diner. And he agreed. He could never say no to her. Especially when she began to sing a song about painting the diner. He would have even said yes just to shut her up.

Cut to Luke's Diner 5 years ago

Luke was standing in front of the counter watching Lorelai. She was beautiful. The clothes she wore fitted her perfectly. And the excitement with which she paced through the Diner made him smile.

"You ready to talk paint?" Lorelai asked pacing through the diner holding up different color- charts in her hands.

"No".

"Good. I've got all the choices set up and while any one of them would work, I think this combo is currently my favourite".

"Huh?" Luke asked following her.

"See? Imagine. This will be for the walls and this will be for the trim -- the, like, edging around the doors and the windows".

"I know what the trim is." He said annoyed.

"Ok. The colors are actually quite similar to what you have here now, but they're just a little richer, a little warmer. What do you think?" Lorelai smiled.

"Well…"

"Wait, wait, wait" Lorelai ran up to the light switch and turned off the light. "A little ambiance."

"This is a diner. We don't do ambiance."

"All right. One argument at a time. So what do you think?"

"Honestly? I have no idea. You like it?"

" Yeah." She nodded.

"Okay".

"Good." Lorelai smiled again as suddenly Andrew burst in with a camera and started taking pictures.

"What are you doing?" Luke asked angry grabbing Andrews arm.

"Oh -- um, the town council wanted to do a before and after poster."

"Out!" Luke screaming pointing in the direction of the door.

"Bye."

"That's it. We're closed for the night." Luke declared angrily.

" You know, listen -- since you have to take everything off the walls to decide what stuff you're going to keep and what stuff you're to get rid of." Lorelai said ignoring Luke.

"Everything stays".

"Ok, there's a plastic dancing pork chop that says –"

"Everything stays." Luke repeated more demanding this time.

"I lost my head over a good chop. You should too."

"Everything stays".

"Ok. Everything stays." Lorelai gave in.

"You know, this place hasn't been painted since my dad was alive."

"No, I didn't know that."

"He painted it before he opened it and once more when the roof caved in one winter. I think that's probably it." Luke said his faced turning serious as he spoke about his father.

"The paint lasted a long time. He got his money's worth." She answered looking up at him, a shy smile playing along her lips

"Yep. He really loved this place, you know. This store was his life. Mine too, I guess. I spent every minute I wasn't in school here. I spent a lot of minutes I was supposed to be in school in here too."

He didn't even know why he told her all of this. But somewhat he knew that he could always talk to Lorelai. And especially about things like that. She would listen to him. Comfort him, be there for him. To other people in town he didn't open up that way he did with her. With her it was different. He loved talking to her, partly because he knew that she cared for him after all they were friends, real friends.

"How come you opened a diner? Why didn't you keep it a hardware store?" Lorelai asked, interested in his story.

"I don't know. I didn't love the hardware business the way my dad did, and, you know, I knew how to cook, so I just thought a diner would be more ... fun" He told her sincerely.

Lorelai laughed. "That's a hard word for you to say."

"Yeah. I just always wanted to work here" He joined in her laugh. "Just where Dad did."

"God that's nice. To be so -- I don't know -- connected to your dad. That's -- I would have loved that".

"Well you've got that with Rory."

"Yeah . . .I guess so."

"You know, I still think there's a spot on the wall somewhere where my dad took an order one day when he ran out of paper."

"Really? Where?" Lorelai asked raising an eyebrow.

"I don't know. Behind the counter maybe." Luke watched Lorelai heading behind the counter "Next to the door. On the right side." He followed her.

"Oh. Huh. Here it is: "Three hammers, Phillips-head screwdrivers --" She said while sitting on the floor with Luke joining her.

". . . and three boxes of nails in assorted sizes."

"Oh".

"I've seen it from time to time" Luke said, and quietly added, "Yeah, well, I guess it is time for a little spruce."

"Yeah, it is. But let's not spruce this particular spot."

"That sounds good" Luke smiled at her, looking into her sparkling blue eyes.

"Ok," Lorelai replied as she noticed Luke looking at her. There was something in his eyes Lorelai never noticed before.

Suddenly they heard voices outside.

"Oh, jeez –" Luke mumbled, starting to get up as he noticed people standing in front of his diner.

"No, no, don't get up" Lorelai grabbed his arm.

"But if I don't get up –"

"They'll go away. They'll go away, trust me. Shh".

Taylor rattled the doorknob and knocked on the window.

"What are they doing? They should be in there. Just imagine it all in pastels. The whole thing." Taylor screamed out enthusiastically.

When they couldn't see anything, the crowd left.

"Thank you." Luke said looking up at her again a bit more intensely than he should.

"You're welcome." She felt her self blush her eyes sparkling at him.

For a moment it seemed like he was about to lean in but before she got a chance to find out, Lorelai turned around.

"I should go." She whispered not looking at him.

"Ok." He replied, disappointed, swallowing the lump in his throat.

" Ah, so. It's going to be great." Lorelai shot back with a shy smile, her hands still shaking.

"Oh, I'm sure it is." He nodded cursing himself for scaring her away.

"See ya."

"See ya."

And with those words Lorelai turned around and headed toward the door.

The hot water was running over his body bringing him back to reality. How many times he cursed himself for not making a move at her that night, but then again, they were together now and that's all that matters. He closed his eyes and started to wash his hair.

When Lorelai woke up she immediately noticed the empty space beside her. She missed Luke's hands around her waist. Normally she woke up safe and secure in his arms. She sat up, wondering where he was when she heard the water running from the direction of the bathroom. She smiled and for a short while she imagined Luke in the shower. She closed her eyes while thinking of him. Even alone the thought of him made her knees go week and arousal taking over her body. She gasped and opened her eyes, stop it Lorelai, she said to herself before relaxing and lying back down. She decided to call Rory. After all she had some news to share.

She picked up the phone from the nightstand, dialling Rory's number. She heard the beep and had to wait for five rings before Rory finally picked up.

"Hello" she mumbled, sounding tired.

"Hey babe!" Lorelai chirped happily.

"Mom?"

"No, Santa Claus… Sure it's me, what do you think?"

"Well it's …" Rory looked at her clock on the nightstand "It's six in the morning, I haven't started to use my brain yet," Rory replied, having a hard time not to fall back asleep.

"I'm sorry babe… But I have some exciting news," Lorelai told her daughter, not being able to stop grinning like a fool.

"News?" Rory was fully awake now. "What news? C'mon … spill."

"Well…" Lorelai began a long pause until she heard Rory exhale loudly.

"Luke told me that he loves me." Lorelai held her breath.

Rorys eyes widened "Oh my God! He did?"

"Yes … yesterday morning and I said it back." She smiled

"Oh Mom, I'm so happy for you, really … great news. But wait. He told you yesterday... why didn't you call me sooner?"

Lorelai was embarrassed "Uhm we had a lot to do the whole day ... we got distracted and..."

"Uh Mom.. Stop… I can imagine this particular distraction, and I don't want to have this picture stuck in my head forever."

"Well dear … you asked." Lorelai grinned

"Yeah and I need to get punished for asking something like that... got it." She shook her head in disgust but smiled.

Lorelai laughed, loving the feeling to be able to talk like that with her daughter.

"Well there is more," Lorelai told her daughter after her laughter subsided.

"More?" Rory asked confused.

"I asked Luke to move in with me."

Rory covered her mouth with her right hand and gasped.

"Oh. My. God"

"Rory?"

"Sorry Mom… that's … wow ... that's big. What did he say?"

"He said yes, silly. Otherwise I wouldn't be happily calling you the first thing in the morning."

"Right…"

"Are you okay with that honey?"

"With what?" Rory replied

"With Luke moving in. After all you live here too. It's your house too."

"Are you kidding, Mom? Of course I'm okay with that. I'm more than okay with it." Rory finally smiled

"Good." Lorelai smiled herself.

"Mom?"

"Yeah?"

"Have you told Grandma?"

Lorelai turned serious and her smile faded.

"No, and I won't."

"Mom, you have to talk to her again sooner or later"

"Well, then later! Rory, I can't forgive her what she's done to me. She almost ruined my relationship with Luke."

"I know … It's just..."

"I know, honey, but I need more time... I will tell her … eventually."

"Okay."

"Good, so back to being happy again please, because that's the reason I called you."

Rory smiled.

"Mom?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm really happy for you both. You waited so long. You deserve it."

"Thanks Rory. This means a lot to me." She smiled again before asking, "Hey, will you come by this weekend so we can celebrate?"

"Uhm sure, I have a date with Logan but I'm sure I can cancel it."

"Oh no you don't…"

"Don't be silly Mom. I want to celebrate with you and Luke. Logan and I will have our date on Sunday."

"Great. Thanks, honey"

"Anytime."

"Ok hon, just go back to sleep. Sorry I woke you up"

"It's okay Mom. For news like that you can always wake me up, love you, bye."

"Love you too, bye."

Lorelai hung up and smiled to herself. She was truly happy with yesterday's events.

As Luke opened to door to the bedroom fresh showered and dressed he caught Lorelai fully awake and smiling.

"Hey, you're up."

"Yes, I missed you beside me."

"Sorry, but I have to open the diner, I do have a job you know?" he grinned.

"Haha, very funny, mister. Now come back to bed and kiss your girlfriend good morning."

He sat down on the mattress moving his hands behind her neck bringing her closer until their lips met. Gentle and soft at first but a few seconds into the kiss, Lorelai used her tongue to gently separate Luke's lips. He opened his mouth wide, and a shiver ran through her body as their tongues met. A soft moan escaped Lorelai's throat as they continued kissing, their tongues smoothly gliding over each other in a sensual and slow rhythm.

Luke pulled apart

"Uh, if we don't stop now, we never will."

"And that would be wrong, because…?" Lorelai asked confused .

"Lorelai, I told you I have to open the diner. I can't tell Caesar that I'm still sick. It was fun yesterday, but we can't do this everyday."

"Why not?" Lorelai folded her arms and pouted.

"Because, Lorelai."

"That's not a reason."

He looked at her, placing a small kiss on her lips.

"I'm sorry. I will make it up to you, okay?"

That brought her smile back, "Okay," she whispered softly in his direction.

"Good."

He stood up searching for his shoes.

"Oh, by the way, I called Rory"

"You called her? It's six in the morning."

"I know… but I had to call her, wanted to share the good news."

Luke smiled, knowing exactly what she meant.

"What did she say?"

"Oh she was more than happy about this. She said we both deserve it, and she's coming here on Saturday to celebrate."

"That's good news, Lorelai. Okay, I have to go now. Will I see you in about two hours for coffee and breakfast at the diner?"

"Do you even have to ask?" Lorelai stated looking up at him.

"Not really." He grinned and kissed her one last time before he turned around and walked out of the room and to work.

After lying in bed for another hour and thinking about Luke, Lorelai finally got up, searched for clean clothes and headed into the bathroom.

She stepped under the shower, washed her hair, and shaved her legs. After she had finished she left the shower and began to dress in a casual dark blue outfit with a soft pink blouse. She put on some make up, not too much, just a bit of mascara, and the light pink lip gloss she knew Luke loved. Finally she left the house to go to Luke's for breakfast. It was almost eight o'clock.

She was ready to start a new day, a new week… a new month, she was happy and 100 sure that no one could ruin her happiness. But was this really true?
