"Rachel, wow what are you doing here?" Luke asked.
"Well I was coming back and saw a plane going to Hartford so I jumped on it and now I'm here," she explained. The diner was still silent with all eyes on Luke, Lorelai, and Rachel. "How have you been?" she asked.
"Umm good," suddenly Luke remember Lorelai, "Oh yeah this is my girlfriend Lorelai."
"Hi Lorelai. Nice to meet you,"
"Nice to meet you too Rachel,"
"So where are you staying?" Luke asked a little uncomfortable.
"Umm I don't know," Rachel replied.
"Hey why don't you stay at the Independence Inn?" Babette chimed in.
"Yeah I work there, I'll get you room cheap okay?" Lorelai said. Luke looked at her like why would you do that? She just smiled at him. "I have to head there now so just come over anytime." She kissed Luke quickly, said bye to everyone, and left. Rachel walked up to the counter and sat down as the diner returned too normal.
"So life's going good?" she asked.
"Yeah the diners good and life's pretty good," he replied while getting her coffee.
"How long have you and Lorelai been going out?"
"Umm a couple of days. What can I get you to eat?"
"Hamburger and fries,"
"Coming up," Luke went in the kitchen to cook the hamburger and think about what was going on. I love Lorelai now not Rachel. Right? Yeah Luke why are you doubting your self? You love Lorelai! He walked out of the kitchen with her food and put it in front of her.
"Here you go, I'll give you directions to the Independence when you're done,"
"Thanks" Luke served other customers while she ate and then gave her directions. He continued to work with Lorelai on his mind. About a half an hour after Rachel had left he decided to call her. He told Caesar he'd be upstairs and went up to his apartment. He picked up the phone and dialed the all-familiar number.
INDEPDENCE INN
RING
"Independence Inn, Lorelai speaking," the angelic voice floated through the phone and Luke smiled.
"Hey its Luke, is this an okay time?" he asked.
"Oh yeah it okay, what's up?"
"I just wanted to thank you for doing that for Rachel you didn't have to,"
"Yeah I know but I just felt like I should,"
"So tomorrow you wanna come over for dinner?" Luke asked.
"Sure, what time should I come?"
"How about 7ish?"
"Okay, hey the festival is this weekend wanna go Friday night?"
"What about Friday Night Dinner?" Luke asked.
"Oh I'll leave early, plus Rory wanted to leave early anyway,"
"Oh okay so then it's a date,"
"It's a date," they could hear each other smile over the phone.
"Well I have to go," Lorelai said.
"Okay see you later?"
"Yeah I'll stop by later," she told her, "I love you," she added. It shocked him it was the first time since that night that she had told him.
"I love you too," they hung up with a smile. The rest of the day flew by and Lorelai was too busy to stop by Luke's for lunch. She arrived home to find Rory watching TV.
"You done with your homework already?" she asked astonished.
"Yep, wanna do a movie night?" her daughter asked.
"Okay how about the Parent Traps?" she suggested.
"Sure lets go get the movie and junk food," they walked out of the house and to the movie store and Doocies.
"I have to go to Luke's for a moment hun get some cookie dough okay?"
"Sure mom," Rory added with a sly smile. Lorelai walked over to Luke's to find all of the blinds shut but she could tell he was in there. The door was open and Luke was wiping down the counter.
"Hey," she said.
"Hi, I thought you weren't going to come by,"
"Sorry work got busy, but I'm here now," she walked behind the counter and kissed Luke. "Movie night with Rory tonight so I can't stay long."
"it's okay, actually I have just the thing for you," he walked back into the kitchen and Lorelai jumped to sit on the counter. He came back out with a pie in his hands. Lorelai squealed with delighted.
"Ohhh a pie!" she said " Do I own you anything for this?" He put the pie down a little ways away and walked up to her. He stood between her legs and put his hands on either side of her.
"Just one thing," he said. He kissed her and she returned the kiss. "That's all you owe me." He said with a smile. There was a knock on the door that Lorelai figured was Rory.
"Well I have to get going," she said, "Were still on for tomorrow?"
"Yeah," he replied. They kissed once more and she left with the pie. They had their movie night and went to bed at the end of Lindsay Lohan version of the Parent Trap.
-----------------The Next Day----------------
LUKE'S IN THE MORNING
Lorelai walked in and sat down at the counter. Luke's was really busy and Luke poured her a cup and gave it to her. With a quick kiss he was off again. Rachel soon walked in and sat down at the counter, next to Lorelai on accident. Luke finally had time to get his girlfriend's order and noticed that Rachel was sitting next to her. Lorelai finally noticed and so did Rachel.
"Oh hi," they said at the same time. they both laughed as Luke walked up.
"What can I get you Rachel, Lorelai I know what you want?"
"And what is that?" Lorelai asked.
"Hamburger and fires," he answered dryly. Lorelai stuck her tongue out at him and Rachel laughed slightly at the sight of the two of them.
"I'll have pancakes please," Rachel ordered.
"Coming up," he said and walked away.
"You two are cute together," Rachel told Lorelai who blushed.
"Thanks," they talked for a while as they ate. Rachel left first saying she wanted to get some pictures. Luke came over to Lorelai and filled up her coffee.
"We're on for tonight?" he asked.
"Yep, and then the night after that for the festival?" she asked.
"Yep,"
"Okay well I have to get to work, I'll be by at 7," she said. She kissed him lightly and left. The day flew by and soon it was 7 and Lorelai walked up to the diner. She walked in and found Luke closing up.
"Hey," she said
"Hi," he went up to her and kissed her. "Let's go upstairs for dinner," he said. They walked up the stairs to Luke's apartment. Luke had made spaghetti for dinner. They sat down to eat and talked like a married couple. After dinner they laid and watched T.V for a while before they parted for the night. But not with out a passionate kiss goodnight.
----------------------The next day (Friday)-----------------------------
AT THE GILMORE HOUSE
"Mom we have to go know, there's a town festival tonight that we have to be at," Lorelai explained to her mother for the 10th time of the night. She knew her mom was still mad at her over the whole Luke over Chris thing. Luckily her dad helped her out tonight and they got to leave. They drove back to Stars Hollow and Lorelai went to Luke's after dropping off the car and changing into jeans. He was waiting for her at the counter and they walked across the street together hand in hand. They walked around and talked for a while. There was an area where you could dance and Lorelai wanted to.
"Please Luke," Lorelai begged. Luke knew he would be he like to see her beg.
"No Lorelai,"
"Please Lukkiiiie, just for me," she wined.
"No," she stuck out her bottom lip in a pout and Luke gave in, "Fine." He led her out to the area and slipped his arms around her waist holding her close. Lorelai, smiling, put her arms around his neck and rested her neck on his shoulder. Rachel was walking around taking pictures and saw the two of them. She knew she'd never get Luke back and sat down to take more pictures. She took some of Luke and Lorelai together and some other couples dancing. The song came to an end and Luke came to sit next to Rachel and Lorelai went over to a young looking girl and a boy. Rachel was taking pictures of Lorelai and the two kids when Luke came over.
"Who's that Lorelai is with?"
"Oh that's Rory and Dean,"
"Who are they?" she asked. Luke had a smile on his face and was watching them.
"Rory's her daughter and Dean's Rory's boyfriend,"
"Oh wow. Lorelai doesn't look old enough to be her mom,"
"Yeah I know, she's done a great job with that girl though,"
"I wouldn't doubt it," they sat there for a while longer Luke watching two of his favorite women. Rachel got up to go take more pictures and Lorelai came over to Luke. Luke slung his arm over Lorelai and Lorelai moved closer to him.
"Ready to go?" he asked.
"Yeah sure," they got up to go as Luke put his arm back around her shoulder. Lorelai slid her arm around his waist sticking her hand in his back pocket.
"Wohh, that's different," he said.
"If you don't like it I'll take it out," she said already starting to remove her hand. She didn't get very far.
"No, I like it there," he said gently putting her hand back there. She smiled at him and they walked back to Lorelai's house talking. They arrived there and Luke turned her to face him. She pulled her hands out of his pocket and placed them around his neck. He slid his hands into her back pockets as she giggled at the feeling. It was something Luke had never done before with anyone, but it just felt natural to him. He kissed her in the shadow of her porch and then led her inside for the night.
