CHAPTER THREE – THE COFFEE AND THE FILTH
Moments later Luke walked in.
Luke: "Oh hi Lorelai", he muttered taking his cap of his head.
Lorelai: "Hi Luke". She smiled back. Lorelai didn't seem to notice that Luke seemed a little shy at the sight of her.
Luke: "My dad just wanted me to drop off a few tools for you to fix the coffee machine. He said just to make me do it and we will serve no extra charge".
Lorelai: "Thanks Luke. I can always count on you", she headed back towards the coffee machine. "I don't know why you would bother to fix it. This coffee is god dam awful. At least this way no customers have to drink this filth". Luke nodded. He knew how much she loved coffee, and to serve filth like this, well it was just plain out wrong.
Luke: "Well if you would like, later I could shout you and little Rory to some Starbucks coffee. It isn't that great but it's the best you are going to get around here".
Lorelai: "That's so sweet. You know you don't have too".
Luke: "Yeah", he blushed. "But Rory is a cute kid, she deserves treats every now and then". Lorelai sighed.
Lorelai: "Yeah she does".
Luke: "Is there something wrong?" He looked at her after placing the coffee put down. Fixing the machine was now lost to him.
Lorelai: "Rory wanted to go back to school".
Luke: "Isn't that a good thing?" Lorelai sat down. Luke didn't see where this was going. Every mother would be happy that there kid wanted to go to school.
Lorelai: "Yes I know it is, but . . . I don't know if I can afford it".
Luke: "Oh". Lorelai nodded. "Well can't you ask for a raise? It can't cost that much to send the rugrat to school". He didn't know what to say. It seemed wrong for Rory not to be in school. She was the brightest kid that he had ever meet, and the cutest too.
Lorelai: "It does though. As it is I am broke. I know I have to ask for a pay rise, but I don't know if I will get one. Perhaps I will have to get a second job in my free time".
Luke: "You work your ass off as it is". There was a pause. "Do you even have free time?"
Lorelai: "Not really, but this isn't really bringing that much money in".
Luke: "Well I could always ask my dad to see if he has anything for you". Lorelai smiled. She knew that it would be more of a charity sort of thing.
Lorelai: "Thanks Luke", she replied, hugging him. But he knew the answer as well as hers. That wasn't going to happen.
