Summary:Takes place during " A Tale of Poes and Fire" all events are the same leading up to were Lorelai ask Luke to spend the night.
Lorelai and Luke walk into his apartment.
"So wheres the punk" she says
Luke gives her a stern look."He is in New York visiting his friend"
"Oh"
"So why exactly are you without bed?"
Lorelai chuckles " People needed a place to sleep so me and Rory gave our beds up to some guest. Which reminds me to defiantly change all the sheets tomorrow.
"Oh, well...um how are you holding up? Luke asked
"Well, it kinda hit me when I was walking here that the place I grew up, the place where Rory grew up might be gone and I really don't no what to do. I just keep
thinking that it can be gone forever and...:Lorelai sniffles: ...I don't no what I would do without it.
Luke moves closer to her and wraps his arms around her and to his suprise she grabs him tightly. "Hey don't worry everything will work out fine I promise and you
no everyone will help fix whatever damage is done including me I am here don't forget that. He glides his hand up and down her back.
Lorelai looks at the spot on Luke's T-shirt were it is wet "Sorry"Luke chuckles "Dont worry about it, are you OK?
Lorelai pulls away and wipes her eyes "Yea umm...can I just use your bathroom? "Sure"
Lorelai goes in the bathroom and looks at herself in the mirror and laughs to see that her face is flushed and mascara is running down her face so she splashes her
face with water and dries it with a towel which suprises her to be a pretty girlie towel in Luke's bathroom. She grabs the handle to walk out but heres the phone ring
so she decides to stay in there alittle bit longer to give Luke his privacy. All she can hear is his side of the conversations and she figures its Nicole.
"Well the Local in caught fire today"..."Yah the one she works at"..."Well actually shes staying here the night because guest are staying at her place"..." Nicole don't
get mad OK she is one of my closet friends and she needed somewhere to stay I couldn't just say no to her"..."Yes, he is in New York"..."Nicole if you cant trust
me then why are we even together!..."Fine then I guess your right it's over!" :Luke hangs up the phone:
Lorelai is suprised and shocked. She walks out of the bathroom and walks over to Luke which is sitting at the kitchen table with his head in his hands
"IM so sorry i overheard from the bathroom and I'll leave if its causing you and Nicole trouble" Lorelai say softley
"No stay don't worry about it we have been fighting recently anyway and she never trust me especially when it comes to you for some reason you always been a sore spot with her"
"Oh"
"Since our first date she has never really been found of our friendship because Nicole said something that reminded me of you so I told her a story about you and
Rory and she laughed so I thought it was OK. Then she ordered a third cup of coffee and that reminded me of you...
"Oh Luke you didn't!"
"Yea, so since then shes always just alittle hasty when it comes to you"
"I understand ,...IM sorry"
"Sorry for what?"
"Sorry for coming here just out of the blue at midnight asking for somewhere to stay and for being a sore spot in your relationship"
"Dont be sorry I would never turn you down when you need help, you no that right?"
"Yea...Thanks"She smiles
"Your welcome" He follows her and smiles
"So umm...why dont we get you to bed you must be exausted" Luke started putting new sheets on Jess' bed while Lorelai is helping him
"Yea I am"
"OK well your bed is ready and if you need anything wake me up OK" Luke asked picking up scattered books in Jess' room
"OK good night thanks"
Lorelai walks over to him and hugs him which surprises him alittle but then he hugs her back tightly and says good night and goes to his bed.
Lorelai is sitting in bed and she cant fall asleep.She just keeps going over thoughts in her head. O my God why am I feeling this towards Luke I cant have feelings for
him he is my best friend. I shouldn't even be thinking about him my inn just caught on fire and for the past:Looks at the clock which read brightly red 3:24: 2 and half
hours I have been thinking about Luke...Luke! not my inn which I should be thinking about or not sleeping which is something I need but my thought are going on
about Luke. I cant have feelings for him ... can I? ugh... I need coffee Lorelai thinks to herself so she slowly and quietly gets out of bed and heads in the kitchen and
looks for coffee. In the process she bangs her toe on one of the kitchen chairs and whispers "Shit!"
"Lorelai" Luke says as he walks up to her with only sweatpants on and is rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "What the hell are you doing?"
"O my God, IM so sorry Luke i couldn't sleep so i wanted some coffee but then when i came in the kitchen to find it was dark so i stubbed my toe on a chair
and...ughh IM sorry"
"Dont worry about it, IM up ill make you coffee" Luke now fully awake smiles at her
"Your a God" She smiles back and sits on the counter top
"So are you holding up OK now? Luke asked sincerley
"IM OK but i should be asking you the same thing ... how are you holding up?Lorelai looks at Luke with a sad expression
"IM OK" He says simply
"Are you sure because you tell me you no i no i talk alittle more then normal people:Luke gives her a look: OK a lot more then most people but IM here and I will
listen to you no if you need to vent or whatever"
"Thanks" Luke hands her a cup of coffee, then goes and gets a bottle of water from the fridge and sits by Lorelai
Lorelai just noticed Luke had no shirt on and was staring at his 6-pack and couldn't believe under all that flannel was this gorgeous body. Lorelai was kick out of her
thoughts but Luke's voice
"Umm so have you had any sleep?" He asked questionably
"Umm...Yes" She lied
"Seriously" He said knowing she was lying
"No I have been so busy going thought all my thoughts and I didnt even notice the time" She said truthfully
"Oh ... what were you thinking about" He asked curiously
"Umm...you actually
