Love and Frustration
Chapter 2
Luke was still holding her in his arms; he didn't know what to think. Lorelai really pronounced those words? Was he dreaming? Maybe his imagination and his feelings were playing him a trick.
No it was real, she really said it. But why did she stop moving? Why couldn't he move either?
She loved him, but why did she say it that way? Was she sincere or was it just an impulse in the moment?
Luke was petrified. Of course he loved her and he wanted to tell her, but he needed to clarify the situation before telling her.
Luke made a step forward and stopped hugging Lorelai. She couldn't hold his gaze so she stared at the floor. Her heart was beating really fast, she was scared. She was also feeling dizzy, those words were freeing in a way. She said it. She thought it. She loved him.
« Lorelai », said Luke in a whisper.
Lorelai looked at him, their eyes met.
« Lorelai… what did you said?
« … Oh… nothing… she said suddenly panicked.
« Nothing ? He answered both disappointed and angry.
« … No, not nothing, I don't know, I 'm not sure.. would you prefer if I said nothing ? She asked terrified.
There was a sudden silence, Lorelai wanted to cry " oh no, why doesn't he loves me, like I do. Why am I so stupid? Why did I talk? Why now?
« No. »
This little word awoke her from her thoughts.
« No !... No what ? she asked, a voice was breaking and her heart beating faster and faster.
« No, I wouldn't prefer if you didn't said it.. Luke took a deep breath, not if you really think it, he said still looking at her.
Lorelai started to cry and laugh at the same time. Luke suddenly panicked « No, not this, she probably don't love me like I do »
Lorelai understood what was going on in Luke's mind, she gently took his hand and wiped her tears away. She kissed Luke softly. Luke didn't know what to think anymore but he kissed her back. When they broke the kiss, Lorelai smiled at him and said « I love you Luke »
Luke finally breathed, he realized he was holding his breath for a moment. « Lorelai, I … » but he couldn't finish his sentence.
« Ah Lorelai, I finally found you. We have a problem in the kitchen » said an employee.
« mmh… Lorelai says still lost in Luke's eyes... she finally realized what the man just said « the kitchen ? Oh my god Sookie ? » she screams . She ran into the kitchen with Luke following her. Sookie was on the floor, crying.
« Oh Sookie, what happened?
« Stupid pregnancy, believe it or not, but the gnome should get out right now or I'm gonna do it myself ! she said still
« Ok, sweetie, first you shouldn't call your child a gnome, might feel insecure later, then you have to calm down. What happened ?
« I was making my famous secret sauce.
« Oh the one in which I could take a bath because it's so good ?
« Yes, I found a way to make it more delicious but when I was about to take an ingredient in the bottom shelf, my stomach bumped a pan, my apron started to burn..
« Oh my god! Lorelai said worrying about her friend
« And then, the pan fell which is a good thing because it stopped the fire on my apron.
Lorelai couldn't help but smiling a little, and Luke started to smile nervously thinking about the scene Sookie just described. Lorelai pinched him a little to make him stop but Luke couldn't stop. Sookie started crying again. She said between sobs;
« See how I'm pathetic…even Mr Grumpy is laughing at me..
« Oh Sookie, honey, Luke is not laughing at you, Lorelai said while Luke was still laughing.
Lorelai talked to Luke
«Ok, I think you should get out » He left the kitchen.
« Sookie, I think you need a break, Lorelai said helping her to get up.
« What ?she answered.
« You gonna go home, take a bath and relax.
« But…
« No, no but. You go home and relax.
« But Lorelai… the meeting is tonight, I have to be here, and Jackson is not in town anyway, he is the one with the car.
« Perfect , Lorelai said
« Perfect? Sookie said again
« I assume that Davey is with the babysitter ?
« euh… yes
« So I get you home and you enjoy the fact that the two men of your life are not here tonight. You take a bath, watch TV, eat ice cream… and I'll see you later at the meeting
« euh …
« No talking! I'll see you at the car, I have to talk about something with Luke.
Sookie left the kitchen, Lorelai went back to the reception but she only saw Michel.
« Michel, did you see Luke ?
« If you're talking about the forestry worker aka boyfriend, I saw him leaving a few minutes ago."
Lorelai didn't even respond to Michel's sarcastic comment. Her thoughts were unclear « what if Luke left? What if he gets scared because of what I said? Or worse maybe he doesn't love me? »
Lorelai left the inn and didn't notice that Luke was sitting on the porch, she was at the point to cry when she saw that Luke's car wasn't there anymore.
Luke who saw the entire scene get up, took Lorelai's arm and made her look at him. Lorelai's face lit when she saw him. She was about to speak but Luke grabbed her waist and kissed her with passion. Lorelai kissed him back urgently; the world disappeared for a minute. When Luke finally broke the kiss, they took a second to breathe. Suddenly Luke spoke: « I love you Lorelai »
this time, Lorelai grabbed him and kissed him.
At this moment, nothing mattered anymore. They were all alone in the kiss; it was the start of a new life. Luke and Lorelai didn't have any conscience of the world around them, Luke's hands were caressing Lorelai's body, and he put his hand under her shirt, caressing her soft back. Sookie 's arrival put them back into reality, she was surprised to see them "in action"
Luke and Lorelai broke their embrace immediately; they felt guilty like two teenagers who were caught in high school.
« Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb, Sookie said with a huge smile, her eyes were still a little red.
Luke was staring at his shoes with extreme concentration; Lorelai was staring at her best friend with a smile and stars in her eyes.
« I think I'm gonna let you two go.. and I'm gonna get back to work.
And Lorelai finally got back to earth: « no way, I told you I was gonna take you home, and I'm gonna do it »
« Euh … ok, Sookie said
Lorelai glanced at Luke and he nodded understanding the situation. Lorelai gave Luke a quick kiss, she wanted it to last a little more but she had to take care of her best friend.
« We're leaving », she said
« ok, hum Lorelai, I think that your lipstick is … Sookie told her friend with a teasing smile..
« Oh, Lorelai said
Then Sookie turned to Luke :
« Luke, yours too... she starts laughing with Lorelai.
« Jeez, he whispered, he wiped the lipstick with his sleeve while the girls were leaving still laughing.
When the girls were out of sight, Luke was still staring at the door. He could'nt believe what just happened. They just said I love you "Oh my god, Lorelai loves me"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
…... Luke was still lying on his bed, thinking about this lunch, those words and this kiss. He wanted to see her now, kissed her, made love to her and fell asleep in her arms. Just thinking of this, his body reacted. He needed to see her. Now.
