Chapter 3:
"Um… I was thinking about you?" Lorelai questioned herself. She couldn't believe that she had answered him truthfully.
"What?" Luke couldn't believe she had said this. Is she just trying to get a rise out of me. She must know that I like her, otherwise she wouldn't be toying around the subject. She could possibly just be stringing me along, to see how far I'd take it. Man, would I like to take it all the way! Damn it Luke! Stop thinking like this, she's right in front of you, wearing your clothes, you need to cool it. Cold shower, cold shower, cold shower.
"Yeah, I was thinking about you and… um… how you need… um… to redecorate! Yeah you should probably redecorate." Lorelai stammered out of her mouth. Yes! Quick thinking Lorelai! He doesn't suspect a thing!
"You were thinking about how I should redecorate?" Luke asked puzzled. "Why would think about that?"
Ok, so maybe it wasn't the best thinking in the world. Why would you be thinking about redecorating. Could it possibly be that you want to spend so much time up here, and you want it to be more Lorelai and Luke then just Luke? Wow, Lorelai and Luke…
"That sounds kind of cute!" Lorelai exclaimed, unaware that her thoughts had found a way to her mouth.
"What sounds cute? Lorelai what the hell are you talking about?" Luke was beyond puzzled. Lorelai liked to change the subject, but never like this before.
"What?" Lorelai was now puzzled. Oh, my god! Did I really say that out loud? What the hell am I going to do? "Oh, um… new curtains sounds cute?"
"What? Lorelai you weren't really thinking about redecorating my apartment were you?" Luke really wanted to know what Lorelai found cute. There was a good chance that it could be about him, since she never didn't tell him anything, and all of a sudden, she wouldn't say anything.
"Well, No, not really." Lorelai said. He knows! Oh, my god he knows that I was thinking about him. Well, that's ok right? Everyone says he likes me, and if I like him that's ok right? Did I really just think that? I like Luke? I like Luke. What the hell am I saying? I like Luke?
"Then what were you thinking about?" Luke was really curious, and getting a little nervous.
"Well, that's just going to have to be a little secret for right now." Lorelai smiled in that wistful way just at him, thinking about him once again.
She's going to kill me. She's prolonging this as much as she can. It must be about me. What would I do if she told me that she wanted to be with me. More importantly what would I do if she told me that she wanted me?
A familiar buzzing sound went off in the distance.
"Oh, that's the washer. I'll just go and put your clothes in the dryer." Luke hurried off to go and do that. Anything to get away from Lorelai, not that he really wanted to, but the situation was getting uncomfortable.
Lorelai, what are you doing? It's just Luke. You're making an ass out of yourself. Your time with him is almost up, so act natural, and be good. No more thoughts about wanting Luke, or Luke's ass. Wow! Luke's ass is really nice. I'll have to make sure that he knows this. No stop it Lorelai. He's coming back, so act natural.
"Alright your clothes should be done pretty soon." Luke looked at Lorelai, who put her head into a magazine the second he walked over to the couch. "So what do you want to do until then?"
"Um… let's just watch TV, ok?" Lorelai knew she wouldn't be able to handle it with Luke alone, just the two of them starring at each other. She just wanted to sit down, and count down the minutes until her clothes were done. She wanted to be with Luke, sitting next to him, wearing his clothes, but not when she was this nervous, and not when she was thinking and wanting him so badly. What am I going to do? I see Luke everyday, I am not going to be able to control myself for this long. Well, maybe if you did it somewhere where you were more comfortable.
"Yeah, sure ok." Luke sat down next to Lorelai. A little closer then he had before, and Lorelai soon noticed.
Wow, he sat really close this time. Is he trying to tell me something? Lorelai thought to herself.
Ok, so I sat closer to her this time. I wonder if she notices, what I am trying to tell her.
But the two of them just sat there until they heard the dryer stop. Both of them a little disappointed that nothing happened. Luke went and got her clothes and handed them to Lorelai. Lorelai took them, and went into the bathroom to change. Neither of them saying anything.
Well, that was just perfect, Lorelai. You acted like a moron, and now he definitely won't want to be with me. But then again who said he wanted to be with me in the first place? You have to find out. I won't be able to control myself, just do something.
Wow. Well, now she thinks like I'm trying to be more than just friends. She probably will stay away from me, and avoid me as much as she can. I wasn't sitting that close to her, was I?
Lorelai came out of the bathroom, holding onto Luke's clothes.
"Well, here are your clothes back. Thanks for letting me wear them, and thanks for washing my clothes for me." She thanked him nervously. She had thought of what she should say while she was changing, but those words were all gone now.
"Yeah, sure no problem." Luke replied while grabbing the clothes, unsure of what he should say.
Lorelai headed for the door leading her downstairs back to the dinner. Luke reached out and opened the door for her. Just as she was heading out the door, she stopped.
"Hey Luke?" She stopped, not really waiting for a reply, but to make sure that she had to say, what she wanted to say. "Would you like to come over to my house tonight? For dinner and maybe a movie afterwards?" Lorelai looked at him in the same wistful way that she had, but it was no longer in a smile, it was more of a wistful desire. Like she needed him to be there.
"Yeah sure. I'll be there." Luke replied without hesitation. He couldn't believe how she just came out and asked him, and with such passion in her face.
She left, and Luke watched her go. When she was gone, he shut the door, and felt his heart begin to beat faster and faster. He had no idea how he was going to make it until tonight.
