Michaela Martin- Okay sorry. One mistake. That's pretty good seeing as I wrote it at 2 in the morning.
As for "Sigh" I am not "holding out unless I get reviews".. it's encouraging for a writer to hear what people think. I plan to update no matter what & if you have a problem then don't read my story. I don't care! But don't review unless you have comments about the actual story. Thank you.
Thanks for all the positive reviews guys!
Chapter 5- Comfort
In the car Luke and Lorelai were much more comfortable than they had been during their first date and bantered back and forth about the town, the diner and the inn. Realizing they had been driving for awhile and she still didn't know where Luke was taking her Lorelai began to question him curiously.
"Hey Luke, where are we going?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
"What's with all the surprises? I'm not really that much of a surprise kinda girl but seeing as last time it turned out to be a great surprise then I guess I trust you this time too but you better not disappoint me burger boy."
"I will not disappoint you. Just trust me."
"Okay. Are we almost there because I'm hungry?"
"Yes, we'll be there soon."
They continued driving in a comfortable silence until Lorelai reached over and turned on the radio, much to Luke's disapproval. But knowing he couldn't ever say no to Lorelai's pouty expression he allowed her to listen for the rest of the way.
Soon Luke pulled into the parking lot of one of the last drive-in movie theaters in Connecticut. It just happened to be playing 'When Harry Met Sally' which Luke knew was one of Lorelai's favorite movies.
"Coooool! It's a drive-in movie theater! I haven't been to one of these in ages! I mean, since I was a teenager! This is so exciting! What's playing?" Lorelai exclaimed, excitedly jumping up and down in her seat like a 4 year old.
"I'm glad you like it. When Harry Met Sally is playing at 7."
"Yay! That's hands down one of top 10 favorite movies. How'd you find out about this place?"
"I used to come here when I was a teenager and I knew they played old classic movies."
"Well I'm really happy you brought me here. Can we go get some popcorn?"
"Yeah sure."
Luke had parked towards the back, near the concession building so they got out of the car and walked across the gravel parking lot to the building. They went inside and waited in the short line to the counter. When they reached the front Lorelai eagerly started scanning the candy rack.
"I want m&ms, peanut not regular, a medium coke and a large popcorn. Oooh and twizzlers!" She announced.
"Jeez Lorelai, you think you got enough? You maybe want to leave a little for the other customers."
"I did not get that much! Now what do you want?"
"A small water please." Luke told the cashier.
"That's it? You're kidding. When watching a classic like When Harry Met Sally you must have large amounts of candy and popcorn. It's a known fact."
"Well you got a large popcorn so we can share." He answered reasonably.
"Sure. That's what you think." Lorelai mumbled inaudibly.
After paying for the food Lorelai begged Luke to carry most of it back to the car, claiming she had a rare disease that didn't allow her hands to carry so much weight. And after arguing that it she did not have any disease and it wasn't even that heavy he gave in and carried it to the car, grumbling all the way.
They got back in the car just as the movie was starting and Lorelai immediately began munching away on her candy.
After about 10 minutes Lorelai began to talk about every little thing that happened.
"I can't believe Harry thinks women and men can't be friends without eventually having sex. I mean I have plenty of male friends and my relationships with them are not at all sexual. Don't you think that's true? I mean technically in our case we were friends and it ended up with us together eventually but not every relationship is like that."
"Yeah." Luke answered half way paying attention to Lorelai's rant because he was quite absorbed in the movie.
Minutes later Lorelai started again.
"How can she really believe it was right for Ingrid Bergman to leave Humphrey Bogart at the end of Casablanca? I mean seriously, that was the worst possible thing. What's so wrong with her staying in Casablanca with the love of her life? Leaving him and being in a false relationship is so much worse. I can't believe she thinks that."
"Shh." Luke said, not listening again.
"Sor-ey." Lorelai said and hushed.
Soon Luke eased his arm around Lorelai's shoulder pulling her closer as she snuggled up against his side. They sat like this for the remainder of the movie and when the credits came up Luke looked down to find Lorelai sound asleep in his arms.
I could stay like this forever. Luke thought to himself. He would have been perfectly content staying right there in that parking lot, holding the woman he adored but seeing the other cars start to empty of out the lot he gently stroked Lorelai's arm and said her name. Slowly waking Lorelai looked up to see Luke holding her.
"huh. How long did I sleep?"
"Not long but the movies over, we got to go."
"Okay." She moved over to her side of the seat, leaving behind the warmth and security she felt in his arms. Wow, I could get used to that. Lorelai thought, smiling to herself.
The drive back to Stars Hollow was quiet only because Luke and Lorelai were both lost in their thoughts of each other and how happy they were to be together. Getting closer to the diner Luke asked, "You want to stop and get some coffee?"
Lorelai gasped. "I'm shocked. You, Lucas Danes, are offering me coffee? This is a momentous occasion."
"Take it or leave it."
"Take it" She quickly answered.
Luke pulled up to the diner and they both went inside. Lorelai sat in her usual spot at the counter and Luke went behind it to turn the coffeepot on. Lorelai pulled out her cell phone and called her daughter. It ringed about five times before the answering machine picked up and Lorelai hung up her phone.
"Gee, that's weird. Rory didn't answer the phone."
"Maybe she's asleep or doing homework."
"Nah, it's too early for her to be asleep and she would still get the phone if it was homework."
"Well, maybe she went to Lane's."
"Yeah, that's possible. I'll call over there." She dialed Lane's number and it rang two times before Mrs. Kim answered.
"Hello. Who is speaking?"
"Hi Mrs. Kim this is Lorelai Gilmore. I was just wondering if by any chance Rory came over there tonight?"
"Ah, yes. Rory is here. Let me get her for you." She called up the stairs and Rory picked up the phone within seconds.
"Hey mom."
"Hey mom? That's all you have to say. I called the house and you didn't answer. You scared me."
"Sorry. I came over to Lane's because she needed advice on the whole boy situation. I'm gonna stay the night so I'll meet you at Luke's in the morning before school."
"Okay. Love ya hun. Goodnight."
"G'night mom." Lorelai hung up her cell and put it back in her purse.
"She's at Lane's."
"That's good."
"Yeah. I guess." Lorelai replied sullenly.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. It's just I'm going to be all alone tonight."
"Oh, sorry. I think you'll be okay though, you are a grown woman."
"Yeah I guess I'll make it but you might want to check up on me in the morning if I don't get here for breakfast. Make sure I didn't die of lonelieness."
"You're very dramatic you know that?"
"Yes I do. Thank you."
"It wasn't a compliment."
"How rude."
"Here." He handed her her precious "liquid death" as he called it.
"Oooooh thanks Lukey!"
"Stop calling me that. It's annoying."
"Okay."
After Lorelai had finished her coffee her and Luke drove to her house and both got out to walk to the door.
"So I had a great time tonight Lorelai."
"I did too Luke. Thanks for taking me to the movie. It was fun."
He leaned in cautiously and kissed her on the lips. Deepening the kiss Lorelai thought, this is really great. I never knew kissing Luke could be so … amazing. Luke wrapped his strong arms around Lorelai's waist and she had one hand on his cheek and one around his waist pulling him in closer to her body. They slowly backed into the door Lorelai held open and closed it behind them. Luke pressed her up against the door as their kisses grew even more passionate. Soon he pulled away.
"Maybe I should go Lorelai."
"No Luke, stay."
"Are you sure about this? Maybe it's too fast."
"No it's fine Luke. I'm sure. Definitely sure." She said seductively.
"Okay."
They resumed kissing and made their way up the stairs to Lorelai's bedroom, shedding clothes as they went.
So that's all for now. Hope you liked it! Review please.. suggestions & whatever!
