Chapter 7
I Knew It!
"Mom just ring the bell" Rory said getting aggravated. It was Friday night and they were standing in front of the Gilmore mansion.
"Whatever" Lorelai said and rung the bell
"Your late" Emily said as they walked in the house and gave their coats to the maid
"Sorry" Lorelai and Rory said and all three ladies walked into the dinning room
"So Rory how is school," Richard asked as everyone got drinks and sat down
"Great this is our last week and then graduation" Rory said then took a sip of her coke
"That's great I am so excited to see you graduate from Chilton" Richard said proudly
"Thanks, which reminds me how many invitations do I need to get mom?"
"Well, your Grandmother and Grandfather, Sookie and Jackson, and Luke" Lorelai said
"Luke, why is Luke going and you need a invitation for Christopher" Emily said
"Chris is not coming mom he is out of state on business for something and Luke is coming because he is really close to us and Rory invited him" Lorelai said simply
"Lorelai do you really mean he is really close to you?" Emily said
"Mom, Luke has been there for us since Rory was a kid and he was a second father to her. And…. Luke and me are…. Dating" She said and adding the ending quietly
"Well, well looks like I was right Richard I knew they would get together" Emily said happily which through Lorelai a little off
"Yes, you were right ok I admit it" Lorelai said embarrassed
"So when and how did this happen" Emily asked truly interested and Lorelai was surprised she was not screaming about him being a low life and not good enough for her.
"Well it's along story but it happened about a month ago, and I know that was along time ago and I am sorry for not telling you sooner but we didn't know where it was going so we wanted to make sure it was right before it became official" Lorelai stated
"We understand Lorelai, and congratulations Luke seems like an honorable man that truly cares deeply for you and Rory" Richard said and Lorelai was a bit taken back but recovered quickly
"Thanks dad" Lorelai said happily
The rest of the evening went smoothly they talked about construction on the Dragon Fly, Rory last week of school and other safe subjects and before they knew it they were in front of the diner.
"Hun would you mind if I stayed here for awhile and I'll walk home later"
"Mom, me and Jess were talking today and we wanted to run something by you" Rory stated
"Ok…"Lorelai said a little confused
"Well why don't you sleep here and Jess sleep at home you can trust us please and we feel bad because you and Luke never get to spend alone time together so we wanted to give this to you" Rory said
"Ok. But only because I truly trust you" Lorelai said and kissed Rory on the cheek and walked in the diner
Luke was wiping down the counters when he heard the bell jingle and looked up and smiled
"Hey" Lorelai said as she walked up to Luke and wrapped her arms around him
"Hey" Luke said and kept her in the embrace
"I told my parents" Lorelai said and moved a little to look in his eyes
"'And.." Luke said a little worried
"They actually approve my mothers exact words were I was right I knew the would get together" Lorelai said in an Emily-mimicking way
"That's good right?" Luke said
"That's great" She said and kissed him
"Well I have some great news for you diner boy" She said smiley
"Yea, like what?" He said and kissed her neck
"Im letting Jess sleep at my house with Rory so we can sleep here alone" She said
"Really, you trust them? Luke said a little worried
"Yes, and I really want to be alone with you" She said and nibbled on his ear lobe
"Me too" He said and grabbed her hand and lead her upstairs
Next Morning
"Why don't you come by the inn and I'll give you a tour?" Lorelai said to Luke as she grabbed coffee from behind the counter, which the towns people didn't seem to notice anymore and now everyone was use to them as a couple
"Sure, I'll be by around 1" He said and kissed her
"Ok, and bring lunch" She said and kissed him and left the diner
Dragon Fly Inn 12:30pm"You looked happy" Sookie said as she entered the kitchen and saw Lorelai smiling and humming to herself and getting coffee of course
"Well, I am" She said and smiled yet again
"Why" Sookie said getting curious
"I don't know, well I do actually I spent a night alone with Luke finally last night and it was great and my parents approve of Luke, Rory's graduating this week and we are opening our own inn will be opened in a month!' Lorelai said excitedly
"I know I can't believe how fast the workers are going we are so ahead of schedule and I'm so happy that you are and Luke are going great! Sookie said and hugged Lorelai
"Hey" Luke said
Lorelai and Sookie turned around and saw Luke without flannel and t-shirt and he had no hat. Probably the heat Lorelai thought to herself
"Hey" She said and went to give him a kiss
"I was wondering if you had some time to disappear?" Luke asked her
"Umm…Sure…. Sookie I'll be back"
"Sure, take your time" She smiled as the couple turned and left the back door hand and hand
"So where are we going?" Lorelai asked curiously
"Just to the little pond over there to have lunch" Luke said trying for it not to sound like a big deal
"Aww. Luke, you big softly" She whispered in his hear which sent shivers down his back
They sat down and Luke pulled out a simple salad for him and a cheeseburger and fries for her.
"I wanted to ask you if it was alright if I bought Rory a present for graduation"
"Of course it would be, what did you have in mind?"
"I don't know maybe a necklace or something nice," He said shyly
"Luke that's a great idea"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah" she smiled and kissed him "Thank you for lunch" She added
"Your welcome" he said and kissed her again
