Chapter 7: No one other than you
AN: Here it is! The chapter you've all been waiting desperately for! Or so I hope. Anyways, I'd like to thank my reviewers. At the end of this chapter, I'll announce my plans for the future in writing fanfics.
So, here is the final chapter of Look Out!
Previously on Look out: Lorelai's mind screamed, 'NO! I don't want to be with Chris! I want to be with Luke! That was an amazing kiss!' but all she could manage was a funny look as a mix of sadness and confusion, and a slight nod.
"Yeah. You're probably right."
A Month Later:
Things have gotten pretty normal at the Gilmore house, other than Rory not being there. Lorelai didn't want to admit it, but Rory was right. The whole town was right. Luke liked Lorelai. Lorelai liked Luke. Things like this should be so simple, Lorelai thought, waiting at her home for Luke to bring them dinner. It should be so simple, yet things like these never are.
She was watching TV at home while waiting this Saturday night. "How pathetic am I? I'm young, I'm cool, and yet I'm still sitting here watching TV when I should be out. I guess that's what happens when you break your leg." Lorelai sighed, and flipped through the channels trying to find something mildly interesting to watch. Doing so, her mind started to wander to a topic she'd been trying to push out of her mind, but seemed to keep pushing itself back in.
Luke.
It's not that Lorelai didn't want to think about Luke, on the contrary, he was good, even great to think about. Just the thought of not being with him sent a wave of sadness through her body, a sadness that she rarely ever felt. And this was the first time she had felt it over a guy.
Lorelai had fallen asleep, waiting. Luke had warned her that he might be a little late tonight, because of some stupid meeting Taylor just decided to hold in the diner.
Luke walked inside the surprisingly quiet room, and saw Lorelai sprawled across the couch, sleeping.
She looks so gorgeous, he thought to himself. His only regret is that he hadn't confronted her after their wonderful, amazing, indescribable kiss. The truth was, he was scared. He loved Lorelai so much, that if just being friends meant being friends and seeing her forever.
He wanted to kiss her like crazy. She just looked so... he couldn't describe it.
After a little deliberation, he decided he would kiss her once before he would try and get her out of his mind. He just needed one more kiss. This wasn't necessarily the truth, but it sounded better than never kiss her ever again.
He gently kneeled next to the couch, and pressed his lips to hers. He slowly kissed her. In the midst of this, Lorelai stirred from her silent slumber and awoke to the pleasant sensation to being kissed by Luke.
Rather than pull away, she started to kiss him back.
Surprised to feel Lorelai's movements, Luke pulled away. Lorelai sighed at the lack of contact between them.
"Sorry Lorelai. I didn't mean to do that."
Lorelai was actually able to talk this time, unlike the first kiss where she was rendered nearly speechless. "What, you didn't mean to kiss me, which was amazing, by the way."
"Lorelai..."
"No Luke. I've been thinking about this. Ever since that first kiss, I know I was supposed to forget about it, I've been having these huge feelings for you. Even before that, I was thinkng about being with you. So I don't want anyone else. Just you! You may not feel the same way, but I just wanted you to know."
After that speech, Luke stared for a little while, then wrapped Lorelai in his arms and kissed her. He pulled away, looking at Lorelai who had a bewildered look on her face. "Lorelai. I've wanted to be with you for so long. Just, this may screw up our friendship, which is one of the most important things in my life."
"I guess we'll just need to take a chance."
Wow! I finished a multi chapter fic. I'm feeling pretty proud of myself right now.
I have a few ideas for new fics. Tell me what you think! They're all a LL pairing, though.
Operation: Java Junkie: This is a LL get together fic. Kind of like this. It's set in early Season 3 ( Luke and Lorelai aren't dating anyone), and Rachel shows up. But she's not here for Luke, she's getting married to a journalist, and they're living in Stars Hollow to write a story on small towns. But when she sees that Luke hasn't said anything, or made any progress, she decides to play matchmaker with her new husband.
Meeting the Parents: This may sound lighthearted, but it's kind of serious. It's a series of vignettes with Lorelai visiting Luke's parents' graves.
Marriage isn't Easy: How the series would have gone if Luke asked Lorelai out after being friends for a while, and then they got married before the series starts.
I have a few other ideas. Operation: Java Junkie and Meeting the Parents are my major priorities, along with a few oneshots.
