Disclaimer- I don't own Gilmore Girls. Shocker!
Sorry it took sooo long, but there was some serious writer's block, as well as the fact that I've been finishing my summer reading for school which starts back next week. Still not finished with "Count of Monte Cristo", so the next chapter probably won't be up 'til next week some time. Sorry again.
Another sorry for the title of this chapter. It was the first thing that popped into my head, then it was stuck there, so that's how I got stuck with "wake me up before you go-go". Considering that Wham is a lot like Journey, it freaks me out, and I'm sure it freaks several of you reviewers out too. Sorry.
Ultimategilmoregirl: Yes, doing the unlikely stuff is half the fun. That and the missed opportunities are the whole point of fanfics. Glad your enjoying it, and sorry I didn't update sooner.
bAyLeIgH aNnE: Glad you liked that chapter. It was my favorite to write too.
falcons my daddy: Actually, the whole "Lorelai just blurting out that she had multiple dirty dreams about Luke" was cause I couldn't really think of any other way to do it, but now that I think about it more, it also would have been funny if she gave him hints to what she wanted to tell him. Oh well. Glad you liked the way I did do it. (Did that last part sound dirty at all?)
potostfbeyeluvr: Yeah, this kind of OOCness is fun to write and to read. Nicole is probably gone now, but she might be back next chapter (purely comedic reasons). I'm still debating myself on that.
Mordacity: Glad you thought Rory suffering was funny. There's a little more of that in this chapter cause it's so fun to write about. Oh, and I'll be on the forums even less now, cause I've pretty much found out Luke's answer and I've found out enough other stuff I didn't want to know, and to quote Rory, "(People)'ve alluded, (they)'ve insinuated, (they) have tiptoed to the brink of impropriety." Ttyl
orangesherbert7: You didn't think it was to OOC? That's good, and yeah, I didn't really like it when Nicole kissed him either. I was practically throwing up when I wrote it, but apparently I'm a masochist. What can I say?
LLfreak8285: Yay! You felt bad for Nicole! I'm so talented, cause I knew I could make someone feel bad for her. I know it's kinda wrong what I'm doing to Nicole. I mean it is mean, but (as I merely implied in the last chapter) Nicole ended up getting some, just if you didn't catch that, and the Luke's OCCness when he told Nicole about Lorelai- he just needed to talk to someone, so he told Nicole. It wasn't the best person to turn to, considering that they had just broken up, but he was think about Lorelai, and Nicole did ask what was wrong, so she kinda had it coming. And another "Yay!" I turning into Muffin, converting people who leave short reviews into people who leave long reviews. Not that I'm comparing myself to Muffin, I don't deserve such an analogy.
Hanselel: OMG! I hope you typed that wrong, cause even I'm not that darkly twisted. There were two beds, originally one for Rory and one for Lorelai, now one for LL and one for Rory. LL and Rory were not in the same bed. A "Geez" and an "Eww."
Again, I will say I am so sorry for the really late update. You can partially blame filesfreak4life and gilmoregirl1979, cause their stories are too awesome to stop reading, but it's mostly my fault and the school system's fault for the summer reading. Grr, school system! We also have to wear uniforms, ...which has nothing to do with this story, but I like to complain about it.
Lorelai's POV
I wake up next to a hot guy, also known as Luke, and remember what happened pre-sleep. God, that was fun! ...Rory's gonna kill me, isn't she?
I lie here for a few minutes wondering... everything. What is Luke gonna wanna do? Will he finish his cruise? Will he regret breaking up wit Nicole? Will he want her back?... God, that would be awful. Oh my god. What if he and Nicole never actually broke up? I mean he just implied he was going to last night. What if I like... helped him cheat? No, Luke wouldn't do that... I hope... No, no, he wouldn't, that's stupid.
I roll on my side so I'm facing him. I kiss him on the cheek to wake him up. He's grinning, but he doesn't open his eyes.
"Luke," I whisper. "Luke... Luuuke." I shake him a little. He rolls over sleepily, and now he's facing me.
He asked for it. I kiss him until he wakes up a few seconds later probably realizing that wasn't part of his dream. He jerks back a little at first, but then he leans into it too. Now I pull back. "Good morning."
"Yes, it is... Why'd you wake me up?"
"What? Did you not like it? I can try again if you want... I wanna talk."
"You always do."
"I mean... we have to talk," I say in a "serious" voice.
"I know."
Silence.
Luke's going back to sleep. He yawns and sleepily rolls over so he's not facing me anymore. "Luuuke. We still need to talk."
"Are you actually gonna say anything?"
"Well, duh."
He sighs and rolls back over again. "Okay."
"Okay." I smile at him. "...I like you, ... Luke." God, I'm eight.
"Well, that's good, ...cause, you know, if you didn't, that greeting last night would have been pretty inappropriate."
"Yeah." I smile at him some more waiting for him to say what I want him to.
"...What? ...Oh! I like you too."
"That's good, cause that response-slash-agreement with what I was expressing last night would have been inappropriate if you didn't." Okay, get the insane stupidity over with. "...So you and Nicole are all... broken up?"
"Yeah, ...of course we are. Do you think I would do that last night if we weren't?"
"No, not--"
"I'm not like that, Lorelai. I'd think you'd know me well enough to know I wouldn't do that."
"Luke, stop."
'Why would you--"
"Please, stop, Luke!... I don't think you would cheat on your girlfriend, ...which I guess is lucky for me, now that we're—anyway, I do know you, and whatever it is that I have yet to know about you, I can't wait to learn, ...and I hope it's not anything really annoying like the fact that you won't put the toilet seat down no matter how many times I tell you or that you're really bad in bed or that ...you won't give me free coffee or that--" He kisses me, and I am so never gonna get tired of that.
"I will not have you doubting how good I will be in bed."
"And the coffee thing?"
He kisses me again.
"No, really. I want free coffee."
"After I find out how good you are in bed."
"Luke! You're so..." I kiss him hard for more than a few seconds... then on the cheek.
He starts to get out of bed.
"Wh-Where you goin?"
"I'm getting out of bed."

She throws one arm around my neck and the other my waist so I'm slightly on top of her now.
"Lorelai, this is uncomfortable."
"Yeah, okay." She lets go but kisses my neck as I'm getting up sending that tremendous warmth throughout me again.
"I'll be right back, okay?"
"Yeah, okay."
She's not disappointed, is she? No way, I'm not that good a kisser.
I leave.

I sit on the bed a few more minutes thinking about what he's doing.
I get up and head to Rory's bed.
I plop down next to her, "Hey, whatcha doin?"
"Saving the world from a Katie Couric fem-bot."
"Cool. Guess what."
"Huh?"
"That was a really bad guess. Oh, well, I'll tell you what anyway... Luke's a really good kisser."
"Eww." She throws her pillow over her head.
"He does this thing with his tongue. It's so awesome."
"I can't wait until you two have sex."
"Me neither."
"Why do like to torture me so much?"
"Oh, it's just fun."
There's a knock on the door; I go to greet Luke with... something. "Hey." I kiss him again.
"We don't have to do that every second we see each other now, do we?"
"Well, no, but--" I start seductively, but Rory cuts me off with her, "Luke, my hero." Meanie. There was a good ending to that sentence too.
"Was she being gross again?"
"Hey now!" He can't call us making out "gross" and agree with Rory. That's just not the way things work.
"Totally gross."
"Got you both coffee."
"Is it free?" I ask him.
He rolls his eyes, "Yes."
"I must be a pretty good enough kisser then."
"Geez," he mutters knowing Rory didn't want to hear me talk like that.
"Yeah, Mom, geez."
"So what are we doing today?" I ask, taking some of the focus off the negative responses to my dirtiness.
"Is Luke staying?" Thank god she asked that.
He answers, "Um, ...I don't know. I mean, I don't want to butt in on this, but I also don't really wanna go back to that cruise... I mean really, wouldn't that be weird? ...I guess I could catch the next flight to Hartford, but it would be pretty expensive, here to Connecticut."
"Yeah, it would," I grab Rory, "Hey, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Um, okay," she heads toward the door.
I tell Luke, "It'll only take a second."
"Okay."
Once outside the room, I start to walk away a little. I stop near the end of the hall. "Could we finish the trip with Luke, have him stay, or would that be weird?"
"It would be weird."
"...but..."
"...But I guess if it would make you happy--"
"Oh, it so would."
"—and you two don't do anything dirty--"
"What?"
"--it would be okay."
"What's this about not doing anything dirty?"
"I trust Luke not to try anything on you with me around, it's you I'm worried about."
"Excuse me?"
"You practically raped him last night. Then you tried to fill me in with the details."
"I did not rape him... He wouldn't let me get that far."
"Eww, and I'll thank him later... So you promise to try not to gross me out anymore?"
"...I promise" Mean.
"Good. Talk to Sookie about the gross Luke stuff, kay?"
"Grr... So Luke can come?"
"If he wants to."
"Yay!"
We make it back to the room, and grab our coffee from the table. Luke's flipping through the channels.
"You know everything on is in French?" I explain.
"Except the foreign movies channel. Right now, that's in Spanish."
"Interesting," I answer. "So, Rory has agreed to allow you to join us."
"Really?"
"Under some conditions."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, under some conditions."
"Well, I don't want to intrude."
I assure him, "You wouldn't be. We've spent a month together already."
"I can just take the next flight out. It wouldn't be a problem."
"Yes, it would, cause I really want you to stay."
"Well, thanks, Lorelai. It's sweet, but I kinda just want to go home, make sure the diner's still there--"
"Be away from me."
"No, that would be the downside of me leaving."
"I'm glad to hear that."
"Look, we can spend the next day or two together, okay? But after that, you can eat unhealthy food and spend some more time with Rory before she goes off to college. The only think I will ask you not to do is run off with some guy."
"Depends. Is he famous, Spanish, Irish?"
"Lorelai."
"Yes, Luke, I'll ...wait for you--"
"Awww," Rory coos from the a few feet away finishing her coffee.
"--if you will for me," I add.
"Of course."
"Cause I don't want you hookin up with Taylor or Kirk while I'm gone... Or both."
"Could you be grosser?"
Rory answers that. "Yes, but you really don't want to hear that."
"So, game plan?"
After about fifteen minutes of discussion, we figured it out. Much to Luke's dislike of "wandering", we'll wander around town for a while, probably go to the beach or something. We'll go back to the boat to pick up Luke's stuff, bring it to the motel room and go to dinner after that. Then we'll sleep. Rory doesn't want us in the same bed again, but I plan to fight her on that. Maybe, we can do something before his plane leaves at three.
"Can I borrow your toothbrush, Lorelai?"
"Oh sure, it's the blue one."
"Thanks."
"...We have to eat with Luke."
"Yeah, I know."
"He's gonna want us to be healthy."
"He wouldn't do that to me."
"Yeah, he would. In fact, he'll probably do it more, cause he's not making any money off us eating badly. Now, he'll be more forceful."
"How is that possible?"
"Maybe not. I don't know, but I'm guessing."
Luke comes back from the bathroom. "Thank you."
"No problem. I'm gonna go brush my teeth too."
"Yeah, me too," Rory says.
"Okay, I'll be here," Luke says.
Rory follows me into the bathroom.
I finish first to not gross-out Rory.
I walk over to Luke and kiss him hard again. "Minty fresh?"
"Yep." He's smiling.
"You too."
I hear Rory coming and back away. "We so weren't doing anything."
Luke rolls his eyes.
"I so don't want to hear about it."
Yes, there will be more LL talk than that.
BTW, I'm trying my hardest to be spoiler free right now, but everyone keeps mentioning stuff on accident. So just so you know, don't mention or imply any spoilers of what's to happen. Thanx.
Long review, please?
