Wow! Lots of reviews keep it going! Glad that you are all enjoying this but please, tell me exactly what you liked, that way I know what kind of things to write. And I think I posted the next chapter first so I'll post them both together, sorry about that.
Lorelai pushed open the diner door with her foot and stumbled inside, her arms full with wedding stuff. Catalogues, brochures, leaflets and swatches. She heaved it all towards the counter and dropped it all onto the clean surface. She sat up on the one the stools and began sorting everything out. She looked up expecting Luke to be standing there making her a cup of coffee but he was no-where to be seen. Lane had just placed plates on a far table and was walking back behind the counter when Lorelai grabbed her arm gently.
"Where's Luke?"
"In the kitchen"
"Thanks and welcome back!" Lorelai let her go. She stood up and leant over the counter. "Hey Luke Duke!" Lorelai shouted, "Get your hazardous butt out here!" She laughed when he appeared with a huge glare.
"Lorelai!" he reprimanded. Lorelai just shrugged and fluttered her eyelashes. He rolled his eyes and began to make her the coffee she was so desperate for. He placed the mug down and grabbed a notepad ready to take down Lorelai's lunch order.
"I'm not that hungry"
"Chilli Fries?"
"Extra large" Lorelai grinned. She pulled her own notepad from her handbag and began writing. Two minutes later the fries were placed by her. "Thanks hon" She spoke without looking up from her work.
"Okay, I tried to ignore the mess but I have to ask"
"I'm trying to organise a wedding Luke"
"How much can there be to organise?" Lorelai laughed out loud, she stopped suddenly when Luke didn't laugh.
"Oh my god you were serious!" Luke just looked confused. "Dresses, food, cake, photos, venue, flowers, invites, table decorations, priest, transport, drink, honeymoon, gifts, decoration, music-"
"Okay okay, I get the picture"
"I have the dresses sorted cos I'm making them. There's no way I'm wearing some off the rail dress that fits in all the wrong places and that some other bride will be seen in a week later!" Lorelai paused for a second "Okay, if I ever sound like my mom again I want you to withhold sugar as punishment"
"That can be arranged" Lorelai glared at him but continued.
"Sookie's sorting the food and cake; by the way, we have no say whatsoever about what we will be eating"
"As long as it's edible" Luke interjected.
"We're getting the man that does the flowers for the inn which is handy cos we're having it at the inn. Rory's sorting out gifts, invites have already been sent" Lorelai checked that off her list quickly. "Can you talk to Lane about the music?" Luke nodded.
"And I'm sorting the honeymoon so cross that off your list" Lorelai looked up.
"You?"
"Well I can't let you do everything" Luke replied with a smirk.
"Oookay then" Lorelai ticked off honeymoon. "Well that's most of it, the rest can be organised easily"
"Can you clear all this debris off my nice clean counter now?" Lorelai grinned at his grumpiness. Lorelai piled all the brochures on top of each other and placed them in a pile by her feet. "Now finish you're fries before they get cold"
"My, you are bossy today" Luke rolled his eyes again. "You keep rolling your eyes at me mister and they'll be permanently stuck in opposite directions," Lorelai warned, he was always rolling his eyes at her. Luke shook his head and walked off into the kitchen.
When Lorelai finished her fries she pushed the plate away from her and slid off her stool. She bent down and picked up all her bits and pieces.
"You going?" Luke asked as he went to refill people's drinks.
"Upstairs" She answered. "Thought I would give Rory the brochures on wedding favours to give her a head start" Luke nodded and went back to the refills. Lorelai heaved the heavy pile up the stairs. She opened the unlocked door and dropped everything on the kitchen table. "Rory you there? I brought some brochures for you to look through, of course I wanna look through them with you so we can mock every plastic fairy ornament that costs excessive amounts. I'm sure there will be something in these things for the wedding if not I guess we'll have to go shopping…" Lorelai stopped when she saw Rory walk slowly out of the bedroom. Her face was pale and it was obvious that she had been crying. "Honey what is it?" Lorelai asked, concerned for her daughter.
"Mom, I have to tell you something"
