Chapter 6

Luke followed Lorelai into the house. He help her out of her coat and they made their way into the living room. Luke settled down on the sofa as she searched for a film.

"So what do you wanna watch?" She asked him as she settled down in front of her collections of DVD's and videos.

"Um...Whatever."

"OK. How about… Breakfast At Tiffany's?"

"No."

"Why not? It's a classic!"

"A few weeks ago you came into the diner and were asking me about my favourite films. When I told you I hadn't seen Breakfast At Tiffany's, you insisted on reciting the whole film to me, scene by scene."

Lorelai giggled as she remembered the scene Luke was describing.

"Ok, good point. What about," She paused to look through the collection once more. She pulled out another one of her favourite films, and slipped the disc into the DVD player without telling Luke.

"What are we watching?" She sat down next to him and buried her head into his shoulder.

"Grease." She smiled up at him. "Have you seen it before?"

"Nope."

"Good. Ok so you remember the rules from the last movie night?"

"Not this again," He stared at the remote that was currently resting next to her. I wonder…

Suddenly Luke leaned across Lorelai's lap in an attempt to get the remote.

She immediately grabbed a stray pillow and started hitting him around the head.

"Ouch!" Luke called out but the pillow muffled it.

"You took Larry!" She continued to hit him with the pillow as he tried to sit up properly again.

When he had sit up she managed to slide into his lap, with the pillow in hand.

"Give it!" She commanded him but he ignored her and started searching for the Play button. He was finding it difficult seen as she had turned out the lights.

She started hitting him again with the pillow, but less aggressively this time.

She was watching him reading all the symbols on the remote, with a serious expression. Either that or he just can't see them in the dark. But she decided to go with the first one. He looked so cute. She giggled as she imagined what Luke's reaction would be if he could hear what she was thinking.

"What?" He looked up from the remote, to the woman who was still sitting on his lap. Not that I'm complaining.

"Oh, nothing." She lied. But in the end she couldn't resist. "It's just that… you're cute." She laughed, Yep that was worth it.

"I'm not cute!" Luke argued as his cheeks slowly turned a bright shade of red. He thanked God that the lights were off, so she couldn't be a witness to this.

She decided not to argue with him. This was her first date with him and she wanted it to be perfect. Even if that letting him win this one. As long as her boyfriend was happy she was. My boyfriend? I like it! She smiled to herself as Luke continued his search.

Luke finally found the play button and started up the movie. Lorelai slid of his lap but still sat very close. He liked the warmth of her thigh against his.

They sat silently in the dark, smile plastered onto both of their faces. Lorelai insisted on singing along to all her favourite songs. Although she was out of tune most of the time, Luke didn't mind. She was happy. She was out on a date with him, and she was happy. You make her happy. Realising this just caused him to smile even more.

The final credits rolled across the screen, but neither of them where a wake to see them. Luke lay on the couch with Lorelai on top of him, he had one arm around her waist and her head was comfortably lying on his chest.

Half an hour after the film had finished Rory crept into the lounge; she had dropped some stuff of at Lane's and then headed off to school. She noticed that the TV was still on, but there was no sign of her Mom and Luke. (She couldn't see them from where she was standing.)

"Mom?" She called out loudly.

Both Luke and Lorelai stirred, but only he woke up. "Rory?"

She followed the voice and walked over to the couch. "Oh…Sorry Luke, I didn't know you where there." She was clearly embarrassed.

"Don't worry," he told her when he noticed her nervousness. He tried to get up but struggled. "I…um." He didn't know what to say. Sorry Rory, but could you help me up, you Mom seems to be asleep on top of me?

But he didn't have to say anything, because Rory was walking out of the lounge headed for her bedroom.

She didn't mind if Luke stayed the night, even if he stayed there, on the couch. She loved Luke like a father, and he'd stayed the night before, all that was different now was that him and her Mom had finally noticed what had been right in front of them.

Once Rory was in her room Luke tried to wake Lorelai up. He lightly shook her and mumbled into her ear. She opened her eyes slowly, she really didn't want to wake up, she was having another good dream.

"Luke?"

"Yeah, it's me."

"What time is it?"

Luke looked over to the video player and read off the time.

"Oh… I don't wanna get up." She whined

"Come on." He picked Lorelai up, bridal style, and carried her up to her bedroom. He lay her down on her bed and pulled a spare blanket over her.

Goodnight Lorelai." He lent down and kissed her on her forehead.

"Goodnight Luke." She mumbled. "I love you" and with that she drifted off into a deep sleep.
