Summary: Well this is a story on its own. Somewhere around season 5. Rory doesn't have Logan, and still goes to Yale. The mother and daughter are still attached at the hip.
I must apologize for the first two slow chapters, but they are introductory, and believe me it's going to be a one rockin' story. I solemnly swear.
Luke approached the Gilmore's house and walked in. Seeing that Lorelai was nowhere in sight he shouted "Lorelai! I'm here. What do you want with me?"
Lorelai ran down the stairs and impulsively gave him a smooch. Then rising on her tippy-toes she whispered in his ear "Dirty."
Luke just smiled. He remembered how he used to get annoyed because she found everything dirty, but now, he realized that was one of her many quirks that he got used to. Slowly, he wrapped his arms around her.
Lorelai just breathed him in, and tightened her hold on his neck. She loved it when he did that, and especially today she needed his comfort more than ever.
After a few minutes of embrace, Luke slowly lowered his arms, took each of her hands, and led her towards the couch.
Lorelai let him lead her, and just stared into his eyes the whole way. Luke then freed his hands, and put his right hand on her cheek and softly asked her "Lorelai, what happened?"
Lorelai looked up at him with watery eyes, and shook her head.
Luke then, placed his other hand on her other cheek and brought her head closer and whispered "You know you could always tell me. I'm here for you." And with that he gave her a reassuring kiss.
"I know Luke, I know. If I know anything, that's one of the things I'm sure of." Then after a pause she continued "It's my mother."
Luke once again lowered his hands and took her hands in his. "What did she tell you now?"
Lorelai sniffed" She called out of the blue, and told me that she arranged a date with a nice man." Luke tensed but let her continue "And, of course, I told her that I was in a serious relationship with a wonderful man, but then she started insulting you, and I just exploded. I said so many terrible things. But you know what? I don't care, because I have you. I have Rory, and I have a wonderful life here at Stars Hollow."
Luke gently moved away a tendril that managed to come loose from Lorelei's ponytail. Then asked "What about your dad, what did he do?"
Lorelai scoffed "He, naturally, sided with my mother." With angry tears threatening to fall, she bitterly told Luke "I'm never speaking to them again."
Luke saw the determination in her eyes, and realized that she made up her mind. Then asked her "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Lorelai grinned through her tears "Yes, Luke there is something I want you to do for me." Then she scooted closer and looking directly in his eyes she whispered "Just kiss me."
Luke didn't need to be told twice, so he kissed her with passion. Hands were exploring everything, and then Luke stood up, picked up Lorelai, and carried her upstairs to her room.
Next morning, Luke woke up early and found Lorelai in his arms. He smiled. Careful not to wake her up, he quickly dressed and rode to Hartford. He saw the store right away and hurriedly parked. Uncertainly, he walked inside. He was soon approached by a blonde woman. She walked up to him, and brightly told him "Hi, I'm Casey. Welcome to Morgan's Jewelry. May I help you?"
Luke stared at her then replied "No."
Casey's bright smiled faltered a bit but came back brighter than ever "Well, If you do, don't hesitate to ask."
Luke didn't smile and just walked away from her. He approached a ring display, and was about to leave, but one of the rings caught his eye. The ring was gold with a marquise in the middle, and small blue sapphires on both sides of the stone. As soon as he saw it he knew that was the ring. The ring screamed Lorelai. Looking around, he spotted Casey and motioned for her to join him.
Casey smiled as she approached him. "Can I help you sir?"
"Luke."
"Okay…Luke. Do you need some help?"
Luke pointed at the ring, "I want to get that one."
Casey gasped when she saw the ring "That is a beautiful ring. She must be a special woman."
Luke smiled and muttered under his breath "You have no idea."
Case looked up "What sir?"
"Can I just get that ring?"
"Certainly, sir." Casey approached the display and unlocked the door and took out the ring, and rung it up for him.
Luke barely glanced at the price as he paid. Slipping the purchase in his pocket, he walked out without a single glance.
Once inside his truck, he felt satisfied, in couple days Lorelai would be "his." Arriving at the diner Luke quickly slipped upstairs, and walked into his room.
Lorelai smiled as soon as she saw Luke "Hi Luke."
Guiltily, Luke jumped and turned to Lorelai "Jeez Lorelai, you scared me. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be working right now?"
Lorelai pouted "What? A beautiful woman is not aloud to see her boyfriend? If I didn't know better, it seems to me that you don't want me here."
Luke quickly walked up to her and sat down on the bed "Of course I want you here."
Lorelai smiled "Good." Then scooted closer to him and smiled seductively "So, what have you been up to?"
Luke stammered "Umm…I…I went fishing."
Bemused Lorelai pointed at his outfit. "In that?"
Luke reddened when he realized he was caught. Then, pulling her up, he gently pushed her out of the apartment.
Lorelai yelled out as he closed the door "You're hiding something Lucas and I'm going to find out what!"
Luke sighed as he heard her receding footsteps. He hoped that she wouldn't figure it out. Well, not until he asked her.
