Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews. :) They really help me keep writing. I do find it funny how lots of people mentioned Christopher. You don't need to worry about him. I repeat, he will be gone in no time! In fact I hate him. Seriously, he is so annoying. Why'd I write him into the story? Don't ask, it was a momentary lapse of judgement. So please review again.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own it, if I did I'm sure I'd be more happy.
Luke shuffled down the stairs and saw that the only other person in the diner was Kirk. It was normal though. Between breakfast and lunch it was only him and Kirk. There was always lull in costumers at this time. He walked over and sighed. "Kirk"
"Oh, he Luke, why don't you sit down." He smiled and looked at his watch for a moment "10:55" perfect timing today" He nodded.
They had been talking for a while now and Luke still wasn't sure why he put up with all the nonsense. Reluctently Luke sat down opposite of Kirk. "So, what do you want to talk about?" he grunted, really having nothing to say. He figured he'd just get Kirk talking and eventually he would bet back to work and the momentary lapse of costumers would be over.
"Oh I dunno. We always talk about me." He stated the truth before continuing, "But Lulu and I went on a date last night." Kirk grinned dobviously pleased with the outcome.
"And what did you do on this, uh, date kirk?" he inquired. His eyes travelled to an ornage coffee cup sitting alone on the counter, it must have been Lorelai's. He started thinking about her again as Kirk drowned on about his date. Why had she left so early? Was it really the sink running? Of course it was, Lorelai never lied to him and she was known to forget little detail like that. She never forgot important things, but small things. A smile crept on his face.
He started to recall a time when Lorelai had forgotten to put gas in her car. Luke had had to go and buy her some, he drove a mile to get it. She had forced Supreme gas on him. His smile grew wider when he pictured her face. She had chuckled big, showing her pearly white. Next, she huged him. Luek could still remember how it felt to have her body pressed against his, he let out a happy sigh.
"So I kissed her goodnight and, why are you smiling? Do not picture my girlfriend naked Luke!" Kirk screamed rather loudly his face turning red. Kirk had never seen Luke smile when he was talking and couldn't remember ever seeing him smile.
"Woah, hold on there, I was not thinking about that." He cringed at the thought and then sighed. "I wasn't thinking about Lulu, I didn't even here about your date Kirk." Luke told his friend the truth, without mentioning Lorelai.
"Oh, So what were you thinking about?" Kirk was interested. He really wanted to know what in the world could actually make this grumpy man smile. It amazed him that anything could and he just wanted Luke to be happy. He usually listened to his stories and let him talk. Most people ignored him all the time.
"Oh, um, it was, uh, nothing." He brushed the question off. Luke didn't really want anyone to know that Lorelai had made him smile. She was almost the on;y person to make him happy. It was odd though, she was just a friend who drank coffeee all the time. Kirk would try and anaylze the situation and make it more complicated then it was in his own weird way. That was just who Kirk was.
"Luke, you have to tell me, I tell you everything." Kirk was starting to get angry. He wasn't sure it Luke ever listened to him or was honset. He thought that Luke was turning into his mother and hated it. "Come on big daddy spill"
"First off, never call me big Daddy or I'll kick your ass outta here. Second of all I'm not saying okay?" Luke wanted to make himself prefectly clear. But Kirk just started at him intently, trying to not say a word. He knew the silence would get Luke to admit why he was smiling. 'Fine, I was thinking of Loregesph" he mumbled so Kirk couldn't understand him.
"What was that?" Kirk looked at him, a weird expression plastered ob hos face. He was lining in on his elbows.
"Lorelai okay!" Luke exclaimed surprising himself. Wow, he thought it was going to be harder to put his thoughts into words, but it was surprisingly simple. He loved her name. It was so unique and fun, much like her personality he thought.
"Oh, I get it, you like her as more then a friend." Kirk told him simply beginning to smile himself, having solved the mistery that was Luke.
"Oh I don't" He stated firmly. Luke was almost positive that she was just a good friend. Fun to be around and talk to. It was nothing like what Kirk was thinking, nothing at all.
"Yes, yes you do. You smile when you think about her, you always talk to her when she's at the diner, you fix things around her house. Hey? Why don't you fix things in my mother's home?" Kirk quickly turned the subject to himself not even realizing it.
"Oh my god." Luke whispered to himself. He hadn't realized it until that moment. That was the reason her eyes were so peircing. That was why he wanted to know everything about her life and visit her house, fix things for her. He was in shock and sat there starring at the wall ad Kirk talked on.
