For anyone who didn't understand the last chapter. Re read chapter 3, because I had missed part of it off, and have reposted the chapter. It is a really important part of the story.

Sorry it took me so long to update. I have had a really busy week. I should be able to update again soon.

Thanks for all the reviews I have received. It's nice to hear you thoughts.

If you have any idea where I can take this story please, because I really have no idea. I know what is going to happen in the next chapter. But after that I need some ideas.

CHAPTER 5

Two Days Later

Luke and Lorelai were going out on their first date tonight. Lorelai was in her room trying to find an appropriate outfit for the evening. Rory was kept coming up with suggestions but they had all been rejected.

"Luke has seen me in all my cutest outfits!" Lorelai whined.

"Mom, he won't care what you wear. Remember, he loves you." Rory reminded her mother as she searched through the wardrobe for the millionth time that day. But was interrupted by her pager.

Emergency at the paper! Paris x

"I have to go."

"What? No! Why?"

"Emergency at the paper." She recited the message.

"No, you're not going. This is so not the time for you to go off and follow your dream of being a journalist."

"You told me that nothing was more important than me perusing my dreams." Rory half teased.

"But that did not include leaving you favourite and might I add only mother when she is having a breakdown!" She sighed. "Fine, just pick one last wining combo before you leave?"

"Fine." She sighed and handed her mother a pair of low-rise jeans and a baby blue jumper.

Lorelai didn't have time to find another outfit so she walked into the bathroom and got changed.

When she re-entered her bedroom Rory was smiling to herself.

"What?"

"Nothing… I was just thinking…I've never seen you this nervous before. It's cute."

"You think me having a breakdown is cute?"

"Yep!" And with that Rory walked downstairs. She walked into her room and collected everything she thought she might need. Why does Paris have to be so vague? She wondered as she walked towards the door. She was about to open the door when the doorbell went.

"Hey!" Rory greeted Luke.

"Uh, Hey Rory." He smiled "Is your Mum ready?"

"Nope, sorry, she was having a midlife crisis. She will be down in a minute." She gestured for him to come in, which he did.

"I tried to be a little late," He informed her as they sat down together on the couch.

Neither of them noticed Lorelai standing at the top of the stairs. She watched them talking like they normally did. She was amazed at how neither of them had been affected from the change between being friends, to being…more than friends.

She watched them talk for a little while longer. Rory told Luke about Chiltern and how she was fitting in. When she finally walked down the rest of the stairs.

"Hey, sorry I took so long. How long have you been waiting?"

"Don't worry, I haven't been here that long. Anyway I was talking to Rory."

"I've gotta go. I'll see you later Mom." She kissed Lorelai on the cheek.

"See ya sweets."

Rory walked out of the house and climbed in the car driving towards Kim's Antiques.

They were half way to their destination, Luke wouldn't tell her where they were going, much to her annoyance.

"How much longer?" She complained.

"Two minutes less than the last time you asked." He informed her

She carried on complaining until Luke pulled into a car park of a small restaurant. The sign read Sniffy's.

Luke walked around and let Lorelai out of the car. They walked into the restaurant hand-in-hand.

"Lukas!" An oldish woman walked over and greeted the couple.

"And who is this?" She asked after she pulled back from the hug she shared with Luke.

"This is Lorelai," Luke told his friend, "She's… my…date." He practically whispered the last part.

"Nice to meet you Lorelai, I'm Maisy."

The couple ate dinner while talking about all sorts of things, the diner, the inn, Rory, the town… practically everything. Lorelai liked how the conversation flowed so easily between them. If there was ever a silence, it wasn't because they were uncomfortable, but because they were thinking about how much they were enjoying themselves.

Why did it take me so long to notice him? He is always there, and I hope that doesn't change. Lorelai was watching Luke eat. When he looked up at her, she stared down at her food, embarrassed.

Luke smiled, even though she didn't see it. This is all he had wanted for so long and now it was coming true.

He took her hand in his, and she looked up at him. They stareed into each others eye for what seemed like forever. They didn't even notice Maisy come over to take their desert order.

When they had finished desert, (well Lorelai had finished desert, Luke refused to have anything.) and they were waiting for the bill, they finally realised the time.

"Oh my god, we've missed the film."

She looked at his watch; they had missed the whole film. "Don't worry, I had a great time. We can see a film next time." She shot him a reassuring smile.

"Okay then." She wants to go out again?

"Yup!"

After paying the bill the couple walked to the car, Luke had his arm around Lorelai's shoulder because she was cold.

Luke opened the door for her and then joined her in the car. They didn't talk much on the way home. They were both lost in thought. They had both had such a great time, and couldn't wait to go out again. Soon.

When Luke pulled up at Lorelai's house she was shocked. She had been looking out of the window but wasn't paying any attention, she was dreaming about their next date, and thinking about her dream.

He helped her out of the car, and they walked together to her house. They were standing opposite each other on the porch.

"So, I'll see you tomorrow?" Luke asked.

"You have the coffee." She reminded him. I had such a good time; I don't want him to go.

They were both nervous. Though it wouldn't be their first kiss, it felt like it. Luke started to lean in to kiss her but she interrupted him.

"Well we missed the movie but, um, I mean if you want you could come in to watch a movie here?" It wasn't that she didn't want Luke to kiss her, of course she did. But that would mean the date was over. And she didn't want that!

"Sure."
