Please read: I hope you like it so far, please review, even if it's something small, I like to know that people are actually reading.
Alexis stared at Luke as he thought. He was exactly how she pictured him. I wonder what he's thinking she thought, and suddenly she became panicked. What if he didn't want me to come? What if he's thinking he wish I never came? What if he's thinking that I'm going to be a burden to him. Luke inturrupted her thoughts.
"I can't tell you why Christine put you up for adoption, because I don't know." Luke admitted. "I didn't even know you existed until you just told me. I'm sorry, I'm not being of much help to you today."
"Well, I also wanted to just meet you. See if I look like you."
"You look like Christine."
"Do you have any pictures?" she asked.
"I might," he said "I don't really know." Luke began to remember Christine. She was beautiful. She had brown hair, and enchanting eyes. Her skin was golden, and flawless. She was one of the most beautiful woman he remembers ever seeing. As he pictured Christine, he became lost in a trance, but he had to snap out of it. He also remembered how Christine was, and if this girl was anything like her, she was going to be a handful. Wait a second. "Where are you staying?" He asked the girl, "Where did you come from?"
"I'm staying at the Dragonfly Inn. I came from Manhattan." She informed him.
"The Dragonfly Inn." He thought aloud. I don't want Lorelai to know about this yet. Her last name is Mark, not Danes though, she won't know. Lorelai's very talkative, what if she starts to talk to her, and finds out why she's here? Nobody in this town can know yet, not even Lorelai, someone will overhear, and within seconds, the whole town will know. They can't know yet, I need to be comfortable with this first. Alexis stared at Luke, once again, trying to figure out what he was thinking.
"You can just stay here." He finally said, but as the words came out he realized, Then she'll be staying in this town. There's more of a chance of someone knowing then, and even if they don't know she's my daughter, Luke Danes, is sharing an apartment with a 16 year old girl. It was too late.
"Sure!" She said, absolutely ecstatic. She ran out to her car, and grabbed her bags. Luke showed her the way up. She let her sleep where Jess used to sleep.
"How long will you be staying here?" he asked, feeling guilty about the fact that he hoped it wouldnt be long.
"Only a few days." She lied.
"Okay, well I have to go open up the diner again. You can put your stuff in there." He said, pointing to the top drawer of the dresser, "And if you have anything else, you can hang it in the closet." Alexis smiled at him, and he headed downstairs.
Good, he's gone, she thought, and started to unpack her stuff. When her suitcase was done being unpacked, she sat on the bed and grinned. This is all going so well, she thought to herself. Atleast most of the things I've told him are true, so there's no need to feel too guilty. She sat on the bed, lost in thought. I'm going to have to tell him something soon or later though. He has to know I'm staying more than a few days. But why? I haven't thought that out yet. What will I say I'm here for? Afterall, he really is my father, I didn't lie about that much.I can't hurt him too badly. Maybe I'll tell him the truth. Ha! No way, I can just see that seen. Impossible. I can't do that, but what's the closest to the truth? She pondered this for awhile longer, still not able to come up with an answer, meanwhile, Luke was downstairs in a fog, but still about to open his diner back up. Right as he turned the sign over, and unlocked the door, Lorelai came running in.
"Coffee!" She screamed.
"No," Luke said calmly.
"Luke! I need coffee! You can't do this to me now."
"You always need coffee," still, in a very calm voice.
"Well you wouldn't want to deprive me. I need coffee, it's a drug. I'd shoot it through nt veins if I could" Luke shoock his head at Lorelai, as he poured her some coffee.
"You're pretty," she said with a smile on her face. "Drink your coffee," Luke replied, and Lorelai did as she was told.
"So what was that all about?" Luke asked.
"What?"
"Why did you need coffee?"
"You said so yourself, I always need coffee," she said with a grin on her face, before she kissed him and headed out the door. "We're still on for tonight, right?"
Oh crap! Tonight! I can't, Alexis just got here, I can't abandon her, I need to talk to her, get to know her, theres no way I can do this! "Um, I don't think I can, I have a.. a thing"
"Ohhh! Sounds dirty."
"It's not dirty, it's a thing. It shouldn't take long, maybe I'll come by when it's done."
"Okay," Lorelai said, confused, and a little disappointed.
"I'm sorry" he told her.
"It's okay," she lied, and then walked out the door, and back to work. Kirk walked in almost immediately after.
"Can I have my Cajun bread, now?"
"Yeah, whatever Kirk." Luke took a slice of bread, put it in the toaster twice and served it to Kirk. He went upstairs to check on his daugher, who was still laying in bed debating what to say, to let Luke let her stay there some more time than a few days.
"Is everything okay up here?" Luke said as he walked up and found Alexis asleep, or so he though. He got a blanket and covered her, and made his way downstairs.
I didn't reveal what it was Alexis was doing there yet cuz, 1. I think it makes it more interesting that way and 2. I'm still deciding between two ideas. Also, I've been informed that apparently there's a lot of "Luke has a daughter" fanfictions, which I didn't know, so I'm gonna try to put a different spin on this one, as you can probably see from this chapter. I was looking for a way to make Alexis less innocent anyway. Thanks for reading,
