Diary
Chapter 10
Disclaimer: I own none of this it's all Amy, etc.
Summary: "I'm as happy as Kirk when the Care Bears escape on the rainbow"… Set after Jason and Lorelai break up, Lorelai looks through her diary and finally begins to see what has been right in front of her all this time...
A/N: Thank you so much to those of you who have reviewed my story. This is the very last chaper so I'd really appreciate a review. I really hope you guys like this, I hope it isn't too rushed or anything... Please leave good or bad. Thanks
It had been two days since the incident at the diner happened. Lorelai had come into the diner once, asked for coffee-to-go, said something about rednecks, tripped over her own foot, fell flat on her face, then she nervously got up and left.
Luke had convinced himself that she was just drunk that night at the diner and that's why she had said all of those things. Lorelai hadn't actually been jealous. Lorelai wasn't jealous of Nicole. Lorelai didn't want to be with him. She had just had too much to drink. That's what he kept telling himself.
Lorelai was nervous. She had come so close the night of Liz and TJ's wedding. She was a breath away from confessing her love to Luke, for the second time- only this time she actually knew about it.
She had seen Luke one time since the wedding. He didn't seem to act any different towards her, but she made a huge fool out of herself when she tripped and fell on her face. She wondered if he knew what she would have said if TJ hadn't interrupted them. She wondered what he would have done if she had said it. Maybe he would have been happy. Maybe he would have kissed her. Maybe he would have said he didn't feel the same. Maybe he would have told her that he only thought of her as a friend.
She knew she couldn't handle disappointment like this. If Luke didn't have the reaction she was looking for, she didn't know what she'd do.
Everyone is town said that he liked her. They all said he had a crush on her. They all said they would be perfect for each other.
And for once, Lorelai agreed with her crazy neighbors.
They were perfect for each other.
But did he think so? Did he actually like her? Has he had a crush on her for the 8 years they've known each other?
No.
If he did, wouldn't he do something? Wouldn't he ask her out or something? Wouldn't he act like it?
Luke thought she was annoying. He thought her eating habits were disgusting and her movie and music addiction were disturbing. He thought she was crazy. He didn't like her- not like that.
If he did, he wouldn't have married Nicole. He wouldn't have moved in with her. He wouldn't have kicked the Sock Man's car.
Then again, why did he always do things for her? Why did he fix her window or build her a chuppah? Why did he let her cry on his shoulder and loan her $30,000?
Because they were friends.
That's it. They were just friends and that's all he ever wanted to be.
She knew she should have been working. She had so much to do. The test run was tonight and they still didn't have doors. People would be arriving in an hour and there was so much to be done.
She couldn't concentrate.
She had millions of lists running through her mind. Things Luke have done that could mean he likes her, and things he's done that could mean he doesn't… It was all so confusing. She wished she knew what he was thinking. However, that could lead to disappointment- a huge disappointment.
She did not like disappointments.
Luke was there. She watched him walk in the door a moment ago. He had flowers in his hand and he was dressed really nicely.
He didn't see her, though. He looked like he was looking for her, but she couldn't be sure.
Then he saw her, and he caught her staring. Dammit, Lorelai.
"Hey." He said.
"Hi." She told him, trying her hardest not to blush.
"These are for you." He smiled handing her the flowers.
"Oh, thank you. They're beautiful." She said smiling.
"No problem." He told her.
"Soo… You came." She stated.
"I told you I was." He said.
"Oh, well I know… I just- I just didn't… Well, I… I- I, um… You know, there's your door so you can just follow it up to your room." She told him once she saw the doormen carrying his door up the stairs.
"Uh… OK. Are you sure you're OK?" He asked.
"Oh… Oh, yeah, I'm fine." She told him.
"OK." He said before turning and going up to his room.
She sighed and then mentally kicked herself for being so stupid.
Lorelai was standing in the kitchen watching Sookie put the finishing touches on her dessert.
"You OK, Lorelai?" Sookie asked her friend.
"What? Oh, I'm fine." Lorelai told her, still staring at the floor.
"You seem like you're 500 hundred miles away." She said.
"No, I'm fine."
"You look very nervous."
"Nope. I'm really OK."
"Alright." Sookie said. "Hey, did I tell you what happened?" Sookie said giggling a little bit.
"No. What happened?"
"Well, you know how Babette and Miss Pattie are in love with the robs? They won't take them off. They insist on wearing them the entire time." Sookie explained.
"I know." Lorelai said.
"Well… Babette was walking into the dinning room and her bathrobe slipped a little bit, giving Luke, who was definitely in the wrong place at the wrong time, quite a view. Poor thing is out there, just staring at his plate, because he's eating at Babette and Pattie's table… Hey, why didn't you put him with you and Rory?" Sookie asked.
"Oh, I don't know." Lorelai said.
"Are you guys fighting?" Sookie asked her.
"No, no, we aren't fighting."
"Then what's going on?"
"I um… I like Luke." Lorelai told her best friend.
Sookie stared at her for a moment, her jaw practically touching the ground, and her eyes so wide she might as well join the cast of South Park.
"You what?" She asked again.
"I like Luke." Lorelai repeated.
Sookie squealed and starting jumping up and down, clapping her hands together.
"I knew it would happen! I knew it! You and Luke… ooh you guys are so perfect for each other. I can't believe it's finally happened! …Oh, how was the sex?" Sookie asked, finally calming down a little bit.
"There was no sex!" Lorelai said.
"What? Why not? Can't he-"
"I'm sure he can." Lorelai said cutting her off.
"Well than why not? And if you're together than why aren't you sitting together? Are you trying to hide it from the town? Like a secret relationship? How romantic." Sookie said with a sigh.
"Sookie." Lorelai stated.
"And why didn't you tell me?" Sookie continued. "Does Rory know? Oh, wait, of course, Rory knows. Is she excited? I bet she was excited. Luke has always been like a Dad to her." Sookie said.
"Sookie, Luke and I aren't together."
"What?" Sookie asked.
"We aren't together." Lorelai repeated.
"But you just said-"
"No, I didn't. I just said I liked him." Lorelai told her. "I don't know how he feels."
"Well, go ask him." Sookie instructed.
"I can't do that."
"Why not? Of course he likes you Lorelai." Sookie said.
"No he doesn't."
"Stop being so blind." Sookie said.
"Sookie, he thinks I'm crazy… and annoying. He thinks I'm just some crazy coffee addict that watches too many movies and makes stupid jokes that he doesn't understand and-"
"Lorelai, stop it." Sookie said before she could finish. "He likes you. All those things you think he doesn't like about you… Those are some of the things that he loves about you. You're crazy if you can't see it. It's been there this entire time. He's been here- right in front of you- this entire time. He's just been waiting for you to notice."
"I noticed." Lorelai said softly.
"Good, now go let him know that."
"How?"
"I don't know. Go do something cute."
Sookie practically pushed her into the dining room. She spotted Luke in the corner, staring at his plate just like Sookie said.
She walked over to his table. "Hey, how's everything here?" She asked nicely.
"Oh, just wonderful, doll. These robes… They're practically orgasmic." Babette told Lorelai.
Lorelai laughed a little bit. "What's wrong with him?" She asked gesturing towards Luke.
"Oh, poor thing. My bathrobe slipped earlier and his poor eyes couldn't take it. He's been staring at his salad ever since."
"I like salad." Luke said.
"It's a very pretty salad, Luke." Lorelai said smiling. He looked up at her and returned the smile.
"Hey, do you uh- wanna come sit with me and Rory? I'm pretty sure she's really sick of Jackson's baby talk by now and would love some adult conversation. We can talk about the green house effect or how good-looking those tomatoes or-"
"Go on, honey. It's almost 8 o'clock, we should head up to bed, anyway." Miss Pattie said.
"Yeah, Morey tends to do his best work around 8 o'clock… Hey, doll, if we start getting a little too loud, just bang on the walls, alright? Sometimes I just can't contain myself." Babette told Luke.
"Let's go." Luke said practically leaping out of his seat.
"OK." Lorelai giggled and then led him to the table that Rory, Jackson, and Davey were sitting at.
The two sat down next to each other.
"Davey, did you go poo-poo?" Jackson asked. "Do you need to change your diapey?" He asked.
"So Luke, about those tomatoes…" Lorelai laughed, glancing at Rory who had a huge grin on her face. She really hoped Luke didn't notice. Mann, what ever happened to those telepathic mother- daughter waves? Maybe they only work with twins… Stupid Rory, you are being too obvious!
"This is really great Lorelai." Luke said.
"What?" She asked.
"The Inn. It's beautiful. You did a really great job." He said.
"Thanks." She smiled. "I couldn't have done it without you." She told him.
He shrugged off the compliment like expected and started picking at his food.
"Davey, your stinky!" Jackson told his son. "I'm going to go change his diaper." Jackson announced to the table.
"You know, I think I'm going to go make sure Michel isn't burying Taylor in a ditch somewhere." Rory said getting up.
"Are you sure you want to-" Lorelai began.
"I'll be right back." Rory smiled.
"Bye." Lorelai and Luke said in unison.
"So… How are Liz and TJ liking married life?" Lorelai asked.
"Well, TJ still hasn't gotten over his obsession with tights. He wears them to bed and out in public, he bought a pair in almost every color you could imagine. Did you know they sell salmon colored stockings?" He asked.
"No…" Lorelai said dramatically.
"Yeah. What a random color." Luke said.
"So TJ has salmon colored stockings?" Lorelai laughed.
"Liz is thinking of sending him to somebody." Luke said.
"Stockings Addicts Anonymous?" Lorelai quipped.
"Something like that." He said with a smile.
Lorelai just smiled back, trying to fight the butterflies in her stomach.
"Hey Luke, Kirk wants me to ask you if you remember the plan? He says it's a 'guy thing'" Rory said as she approached her mother and Luke.
"Tell him, I remember." Luke said with a classic, Luke eye-roll.
"Sure." Rory said. "Carry on." She smiled and left the two alone again.
"What's that about?" Lorelai asked Luke.
"Oh, Kirk has night terrors." Luke said.
"OK?" She said.
"It's nothing. I'm just suppose to make sure he doesn't kill Lulu in his sleep or something."
Before she had the chance to say something witty and cute back to him, something called out to her.
"Lorelai."
She froze when she heard him calling her name. She knew exactly who it was. She hesitated before turning around and facing him.
"Jason." She practically whispered.
"Lorelai." He stated again. "We should talk."
"Jason, I'm a little busy. I'm kind of running an Inn here." She told him.
"You're eating dinner." He pointed out.
"There are people starving in Japan, I wouldn't want this food to go to waste." She told him.
"Lorelai." He said.
"C'mon Jason, think of the little girl sitting on the sidewalk in Japan, wearing rags, and… and she hasn't showered since last week when she walked into a McDonalds and stuck her head in the bathroom sink… I don't think she'd appreciate it if she knew Lorelai Gilmore threw away her perfectly good, delicious, food that she –the little Japanese girl -would have listened to Britney Spears on repeat for hours or made out with Michael Jackson or watched Gigili over and over for the rest of her life… if she could have just had that food. I have to eat it. Think of that little girl… She had to shower in a McDonalds sink." Lorelai babbled on. Luke let out a small laugh, but Jason wasn't so amused.
"Please, let's talk."
"Jason, I'm busy." She insisted.
"Please… I saw you talking to him." Jason said pointing at Luke.
"Well, Luke's never sued my father." Lorelai told him.
"Lorelai… Please, that's what I want to talk to you about." He said.
"Jason, go away, OK?" She asked.
"I'm not leaving. I'll sit in that chair all night…" He said pointing to a chair in the living room.
"I'll sit there until you talk to me." He said.
"Jason, we have nothing to talk about."
"C'mon, Lorelai. Don't you remember how happy we were? We were so happy." He said.
Lorelai rolled her eyes, sighed, and fixed her eyes on the wall, not wanting to look at him.
"Please? Just 5 minutes?" He begged.
"Fine." She gave in. She knew he wouldn't go away, so she better get it over with, right?
"Excuse me." She said turning to Luke and giving him a slight smile.
"Sure." He told her.
Lorelai followed Jason outside and once they were standing a few feet from the porch, the talking began.
"Lorelai, I'm not going to sue your father." Jason said.
"That doesn't even matter anymore, Jason." Lorelai said.
"Lorelai, c'mon. We were so happy. You liked us, remember?" He said.
"Yeah sure, but things got complicated, Jason." She said.
"Well, that's just because your parents found out about us. You were right, they messed things up. Things would have been OK if they didn't know." Jason said.
"They would have had to find out sometime, Jason. If our relationship was going to go anywhere, they would have found out eventually." Lorelai said.
"We can work through it, Lorelai. I don't care what your parents think."
"Jason, my parents aren't the problem."
"My job? Is that the problem?"
"Well, you still don't have a job, right?" Lorelai asked.
"No, but I'll get one."
"Where?" Lorelai asked.
"I have some interviews lined up in Chicago." He said.
"Great Jason, I don't even get why you're here then. Besides the fact that I want nothing to do with you, you're leaving town. Why even bother with this?" She asked.
"You can come with me." He said hopefully.
She looked at him for a moment- completely stunned. "You can't be serious."
"Sure I am. Chicago is a great town. We can start over there, live together, be away from your parents… It could be great for us."
"You can't be serious." Lorelai said again.
"I think I just said that I was." Jason said.
"Jason, I have an Inn, I have a daughter, and I have a life." Lorelai said. Not to mention the fact that I wouldn't follow you anywhere.
"Lorelai… C'mon, we had something special."
"No, see, you and your creepy dog- that's special. We weren't special. I was kidding myself when I was with you, Jason." Lorelai said.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Kirk screamed as he ran out of the door and past Jason and Lorelai, naked. Luke and Lulu had started running after him, but Luke stopped when he saw Lorelai and Jason.
"Kirk! Stop! What are you doing?" Lulu yelled as she ran down the street after him.
"I was just lonely. Luke was married to Nicole and I didn't have anybody, and then you came along and I had a few too many sips from the Fun Flask when I said yes to your date. Then, I guess I just thought that being with somebody- anybody, would be better than being alone." Lorelai continued.
"Should you be worried at all that one of your guests just ran down the street naked?" Jason asked, having completely missed her last comment.
"No." Lorelai answered and then quickly went back on track. "I like Luke, Jason. You and me, we are way, way over. Hell, we were never really started. We were never anything, not to me." She said.
"Lorelai…" He started.
"No, please Jason, please just leave." She begged him.
"Lorelai, I know we can work through this." He said.
"No, we can't. I don't want to." She said.
He nodded, biting his lower lip.
"Please leave, Jason." She asked of him.
"OK." He said softly.
"Thank you." She told him.
"Bye Lorelai." He said before turning around and walking away from her.
Lorelai sat down on the porch steps and stared into space for the few moments, before Luke came and sat beside her.
"Kirk went that way." Lorelai said pointing in the direction Kirk had gone a few minutes before.
"I think Lulu can handle it. She's pretty fast." Luke said.
Lorelai nodded, but then her eyes widened. "You saw Lulu chase after Kirk?" She asked.
He nodded.
"So, you saw me and Jason arguing." Lorelai said.
"Yes." He said.
"You heard us?" She asked.
He nodded.
"You heard me?" She asked squinting her eyes, waiting for his answer.
"Yep." He said.
Well, this is it. It's all out in the open now.
She looked up at him, and saw that he was looking at her. His eyes were full of intensity; it almost scared her a little bit. She didn't notice how close they were sitting until he started to lean in towards her, closing up the little space that there was between him.
Before she knew it, his lips were touching hers and he was kissing her. One of his hands was touching her cheek, and the other was brushing her knee. She turned to him, deepening the kiss. She slid one of her hands up to his neck, so her fingers were just touching his jawbone. Her other hand found it's place on his side.
They pulled away to catch their breath. He was still looking deep into her eyes with that same intensity.
"So, you concur?" She asked with a smile.
"Dear God, yes." He told her.
"C'mon." She said standing up and grabbing his hand.
"Where are we going?" He asked her.
"The best room in the house." She said leading him to the room that was supposed to be her mother and father's room, but they had luckily called and cancelled with some ridicoulous excuse about having to be at the house to let the gardener in. C'mon, we all know gardeners work outside. But, now Lorelai was thankful that her parents had cancelled because now their room was available. It was perfect because now, nobody could hear them. She grinned at the thought, giving herself a mental 'dirty.'
When they got inside, Lorelai turned to Luke and started to kiss him again.
"Whoa, whoa, Lorelai… Are- are you sure?" He asked her, pushing her off him.
"Luke." She laughed. "I'm sure." She told him, thinking it was funny that he was so concerned.
"But, uh, don't you have guests and stuff to take care of?" Luke asked making Lorelai start to doubt him a little.
"It's Stars Hollow, they are all in bed by now."
"Don't you think we should go out or something first?" He asked.
"Luke, are you telling me you don't want this?" She gestured at herself.
"No, no, no, no. I'm not saying that. I'm just making sure that you want… this." He told her.
"I do." She assured him.
"I just don't want you to regret this is in the morning." Luke told her sweetly.
Lorelai sighed, and smiled at the man beside her. Yup, he's definitely what I want.
"I won't. I promise." She told him sincerely. "I've wanted this- us, for a long time, it just took me a while to figure it out." She said.
He nodded.
"I'm sure, Luke." She told him.
Then, he leaned in again and began to kiss her. It was even more magical than before. She kissed him back, with even more passion and even more certainty than she had before.
Neither of them ever wanting to stop.
"Mmmm…" Lorelai said as she moved closer to Luke and began spooning with him. "I know this is so cliché, but… last night was amazing." She said, looking up at him now.
"It was." He agreed, putting his fingers through her hair.
"I could definitely get used to doing that every night." Lorelai smiled.
"Me too." Luke told her.
"So, does this mean…?"
"I hope so." Luke said.
"Good." Lorelai smiled.
"Good." Luke nodded.
"Do you think anybody noticed we weren't in our rooms last night?" Lorelai asked.
"It's Stars Hollow, of course they did."
"What do you think they'll say?"
"I don't really care." He assured her.
"Me either." She said confidently.
"What time is it?" She asked him.
He turned over and looked at the clock that sat on the night table. "6:38" He told her.
"I better get up. I'm supposed to help and stuff, you know, get ready for breakfast." She said, really not wanting to get up and leave Luke.
"Yeah." He said, not wanting her to leave.
He watched her get up and slowly put her clothes from last night on. She went into the bathroom, fixed her hair, and make up a little bit. Then she sat on the bed beside him.
"Bye." She told him softly.
"Bye." He said, wishing she would stay.
She leaned in and kissed him softly, making it last longer than it should have, but not as long as they wanted it to.
"I'll see you later?" She asked.
"Tonight?" He asked.
"Tonight." She nodded.
"I'll pick you up at 7?"
"Oooh, where are you taking me?" She teased.
"It's a surprise." He told her.
"Mmmkay." She replied, and then gave him a quick peck on the lips before leaving. It was surprising how normal this felt. She expected it to be a little awkward. Her and Luke had been friends for 8 years, and now they were crossing that line and becoming more than friends. She thought it would be a little awkward. But it wasn't, it wasn't awkward at all.
She practically skipped up the steps of the Dragonfly, she was so happy. She had Luke. She had Luke. She couldn't say it enough times. She'd never get sick of saying it. Luke, Luke, Luke. He was all hers.
She opened the door to the Dragonfly and saw Michel.
"You know, it's a huge fashion no-no to wear the same outfit two days in a row." Michel said in his funny French accent that made you want to laugh every time he opened his mouth.
"I'm changing, don't worry, Michel." She said in almost a singsong voice. He frowned at her happy mood and then continued to walk to the front desk.
Lorelai walked up to her room, going two steps at a time. She opened the door to find Rory making her bed.
"You know that's what we pay the maids for." Lorelai told her.
"Well somebody got lucky last night." Rory grinned.
Lorelai blushed a little bit and then walked towards the closet to find the outfit she planned for today.
"Your wearing the same outfit, your hair is messed up, you look like you slept in your make up, and your shirt is inside out. Plus, your practically glowing." Rory observed.
"Man, you and Nancy Drew would make a great team." Lorelai said.
"So… I want details." Rory said.
"Do you really want details?" Lorelai asked.
"Yes."
"OK, well… I didn't have a ruler but I'm pretty sure that Luke was-"
"Ah, God! Stop it!" Rory said.
"You asked." Lorelai grinned.
"So, you and Luke?" Rory asked.
Lorelai nodded and smiled. "Me and Luke." She confirmed.
"Wow." Rory said.
"I know." Lorelai said.
"Does it feel weird?" Rory asked.
"Not at all." Lorelai said.
Rory smiled at the sight in front of her. Her mother was so happy, happier than she had ever seen her before. She was much happier than she had been when she was engaged to Max, or the time she thought her and Chris had finally worked things out. She was so happy.
"Mom." Rory said.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"You seem happy." Rory smiled.
"I am. I'm really happy."
Lorelai walked out of her and Rory's room to find Babette and Miss Pattie standing in the hallway.
"Hey, doll." Babette smiled.
"Hi, Babette." Lorelai said.
"You didn't come in last night." Babette said.
"And Luke didn't go in his room until about 20 minutes ago." Miss Pattie said.
"Oh, well…" Lorelai didn't have enough time to think of an excuse.
"You two finally did it didn't you?" Babette asked. "I knew you would! I mean his butt and your body. You two are perfect lovers." Babette said.
Lorelai giggled a little bit at the remark.
"Is it true? Are you two together?" Miss Pattie asked.
"Well… uh…." Lorelai stammered.
"Your both glowing, Lorelai. You can't hide it from us, you're glowing so much, I might as well put you two around my neck on the Fourth of July." Babette said.
Eh, what the hell… "We're together." Lorelai told them.
"Ohhh!" The two women jumped up and hugged her.
"Took you long enough!" Miss Pattie chimed in.
"Yeah, yeah." Lorelai said.
"What's everybody doing?" Luke asked as he turned the corner and found the three women standing in the hallway.
"I was just telling them about your measurements… Now they wanna ride." Lorelai nudged him.
"Aw, jeez Lorelai." He said.
She giggled. "I'm kidding, but they know… about us, I mean, not your measurements. I wouldn't tell anybody that, I wouldn't want tons of hot girls all over my man." Lorelai told him.
Luke smiled at her.
"You wanna go get some breakfast?" Luke asked.
"Let's go." She said.
She walked into her house, dropping her duffle bag at the door and hanging up her coat. She walked upstairs and opened up her closet right away.
It was only 6 o'clock, but she couldn't wait. Normally, she wouldn't start getting ready until the time her date was supposed to pick her up. She was always late, but she wasn't going to be tonight. For Luke, she would be early. This was different. This could be it.
She looked through her closet, trying to find the perfect '1st date with Luke' dress. When she finally settled on a light blue dress and her navy heels, she lied down on her bed, waiting for seven o'clock to roll around.
She turned over in her bed and reached over for that big, pink, book. She hadn't looked at it in three days. She had finished reading the whole thing, now she just had to finish writing in it. She flipped to the last page, grabbed a pen and began writing.
June 7th
I'm not really sure where to begin. I guess I should mention that Jason and I broke up a few weeks ago. I realize now, that he meant nothing to me. He was just, somebody. I was afraid of being alone. Rory was at Yale, Luke was married, Sookie had a family. I was alone, and he was interested. I guess I sort of convinced myself to like him; I convinced myself that I was happy with him. He threatened to sue my father, and that was the end. I dumped him, and then I started reading this diary. I guess you could say I saw a pattern. I finally saw what was right in front of me, what I was too blind, stupid or afraid to see before. Luke. I saw Luke. I like Luke. I could love Luke. Luke could be it. He could be the one.
It's a long, complicated, confusing story as to how we got together. Basically, he sort of invited me to his sister's wedding, and then I almost told him how I felt, but TJ interrupted us with his game of hide-and-seek and his elephant joke. Then, he showed up at the test-run and Sookie convinced me to go for it. Then, Jason showed up and I bitched him out and told him that I liked Luke. At the time, Kirk ran out naked and Luke was chasing after him (long, long, story) and he heard what I said. So, he kissed me and I kissed him back. Then we had sex. And it was amazing, the best I've ever had… seriously. It was like those hot sex scenes in the movies only 20 times better. Who would have thought? Good ol' Luke?
I haven't even been with him for 24 hours and already I know this is something. It's definitely something. It's something really, really good. It's like eating candy and then being sad because you've finished it, but then looking down at your sweater and seeing there's still a ton that's stuck to your shirt- good. I'm so happy. I don't know how he makes me so happy, but he does. I'm as happy as Kirk is when he watching the 2nd Care Bear movie and the Care Bears escape on the rainbow. I'm as happy as Taylor when he gets his favorite hand lotion at half price. Enough comparisons, we get the picture, don't we?
I'm not going to screw up this time. I'm not going to mess things up with Luke. It's Luke. Sweet, caring, ice-bringing, chuppah-building, Luke. He means the world to me. I just wish I had seen it all sooner.
It's been right here all this time. Everyone pointed it out to me. Everyone told me it was all right there.
I hate that it took me this long to notice. But, at least we can finally be together.
I seriously can't believe I'm writing on the last page of my diary. I remember the very first day I wrote in this. At the beginning of this thing, I was wondering if Rory would look like me, if she would have some of my mannerisms. I remember how I wondered where I would be when I wrote in the last page. It only took me 25 years to get to the last page, but whatever.
At the beginning of this thing, I never thought that in 25 years I'd be this happy. I never thought I'd be here, with the perfect kid, my dream job, a house, a guy like Luke. He truly is amazing. It's all amazing.
I'm almost done with this… I don't know what I should say. What should be my last parting note? Maybe I don't really need one.
It's weird, now that it's completely filled up, the big, pink, book doesn't seem so intimidating anymore. At least there's one New Year's resolution that I actually came through with, even if it did take 25 years.
I'm going out with Luke tonight. I'm never early on dates, but tonight I will be. Tonight is different. Luke is different. Luke's the one.
Lorelai
And with that, she set her pen down, shut the big, pink, book, and got up from her bed. She picked up the dress she had picked out began to get ready.
She was finally going on a date with Luke. She finally opened up her eyes and saw everything that had been sitting in front of her for 8 years.
She turned on her radio.
"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream she said
The one that makes me laugh she said
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it and I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"
She could finally enjoy that song again.
She sat on her bed, again and picked up the big, pink, book. It was a strange feeling. The book was done. She had finally finished it, she had finally written in the last page.
The book was done, but she felt as if her life was just beginning. She found Luke. They had been together for less than a day, but she already knew that it was something special. She already knew it was something different, something real.
She opened up her diary and brushed her fingers over the words she had just written. It was as if a chapter of her life had just been finished and now a new one was beginning.
She glanced over to her night table where her To-Do-List still sat. She reached out for it and then scribbled,
BUY NEW DIARY
I'm not too fond of the ending, but whatever. I really hope you guys enjoyed that. It's a nice long chapter and everything.
Please review!
BTW: They aren't talking about having signing the guy who plays Chris for the 7th season and ASP says that his return isn't going to break up with Luke and Lorelai so be happy!
Review and I'll love you forever.
