A/N: This is the rewritten 'When It Rains'. I didn't like the last on so I changed a few things. So this is better, I hope. This is the reason that I haven't updated this story. I didn't like the beginning. I'm put chapter 1 and 2 together. So chapter 3 which is going to be chapter 2 will be up soon. Now read and judge.
When It Rains
Part One
It was a rainy day in Stars Hollow. Actually it had never rained so much there since 1953. Taylor had informed them that and more in an emergency town meeting. He also said that all of them should stay inside until it stopped.
Now it was about one inch of water on the ground and it was still pouring down rain. Luke was standing in the diner, looking out the window. He really didn't want to go out in this weather. But Lorelai needed help and he couldn't say no to her. She had begged him and then pouted with her mouth and then he just wasn't able to say no.
He turned around and walked behind the counter. Kirk was sitting there, eating pancakes.
"Kirk, aren't you done yet?" he asked annoyed.
"No!" Kirk said back.
"Kirk, you have been eating these pancakes for an hour now"
"I like these pancake. If I eat hem slow, they last longer."
"Kirk! I have things to do, places to be. I want to close up at four which means that you have 10 minuets to eat these pancakes or I'll throw them out."
"But..." Kirk started. Luke gave him a look that said, shut up or leave so Kirk became silent.
When Kirk finally left exactly 10 minuets later Luke went upstairs for a shower. Then he picked out clothes to wear. Normally he would have just taken something simple but now he stood and really thought about which clothes that looked better on him. After about 15 minuets he had settled with a white shirt a pair of jeans.
Lorelai was standing in her bedroom, only in her underwear. There were clothes over the entire room. She really didn't know what to wear.
'God, this is crazy. It's just Luke, and he is just coming over to fix my shower'
After about 20 minutes she had finally picked out an outfit. A green tank top and a pair of jeans. 'Why do I even care how I dress? It's just Luke. But I do look great. '
Then she heard the doorbell. She turned around to watch the alarm clock on the nightstand. 4.59. He is on time she thought. She walked down the stairs, over to the front door and opened it. A big smile spread across her face.
Luke was standing right in front of her. He was soaking wet, water dropped out of his hair and his white shirt was sticking to his body.
"Oh my god, come in" Lorelai said and stepped aside "You must be freezing"
"No I'm fine" He said back.
"But we have to get you out of these wet clothes so you don't get a cold"
The thought of him undressing in Lorelais house made his heart beet faster.
"Are you sure? I don't think I'll get sick. I'm just going to be here for 15 minuets or so."
"Of course I'm sure and I don't take any chances. I think I have some clothes that will fit you."
"Fine"
They walked upstairs and into her bedroom. When Luke saw the clothes everywhere he said with a smirk on his face.
"What has happened here? An explosion?"
"No" she said. "It… uhm…I just was uhm… cleaning out my closet."
"Right"
Luke knew that wasn't true but he didn't said anything.
Lorelai walked to one of her drawers and took out a pair of sweatpants and a tee-shirt that had 'I love mommy' written on it.
"I'm not going to wear that" he said and pointed at she tee-shirt.
"Well you can choose. This one or nothing" she said and looked at Luke. "I don't have any other shirts in your size"
"Fine." He took the clothes and walked into the bathroom to change. From inside he said. "So, why do you have a tee-shirt with the text 'I love mommy' on it?"
"When Rory was eight she made it in school for a project. She slept in it for about three years. Then she gave it to me. Since then I have used it twice. I don't really like big sweaters and I can't throw it out so…"
She was interrupted when Luke came out. The tee-shirt sat tight around his chest so he would have looked really sexy if the shirt didn't have a baby pink colour. Lorelai started laughing. She laughed for over a minute and Luke's face had 3 shades of red.
"Oh my god! You look so cute" Lorelai said when she finally stopped laughing.
"Oh jeez!" Luke said when he looked in the mirror.
Lorelai started laughing again. When she stopped again Luke to the chance to change subject.
"So, what is wrong with the shower?"
"Uhm… It doesn't work."
"Of course I new that it don't work. But what is the thing that doesn't work.
"Well, as you see…" She went in to the bathroom and turn on the water but nothing came. "…It's not coming any water"
"Well let me take a look at that." he said and walked in to the shower and bent down and took a tool from the toolbox Bert. Lorelai looked at his but. 'God he has a really nice but. Ms. Patty wasn't wrong. No Lorelai, don't think that. Luke is you friend. Nothing more.' Luke changed position and Lorelai got a better view. 'But it really looks good. No Lorelai. Forbidden territory.' Luke took another tool from the toolbox and started to do something with the shower. Lorelai noticed his muscles that were very visible from under his shirt. 'He has really nice arms. And those muscles. Muscles are sexy, especially Luke's. NO LORELAI! Do not go there again. Luke are a friend. A close friend, your best friend. Nothing more.'
"Done" he said turning around to Lorelai.
"Huh?" Lorelai said still staring at his muscles. "Oh, are you already done?"
"Well yeah."
"Okay."
She sounded a little bit disappointed. She looked at him again, but not on his body, in his eyes. 'He has very pretty eyes. They are so blue and peaceful.'
When Luke looked in her eyes he thought, 'Her eyes are so beautiful'. Luke had always loved her eyes. The blue colour was so deep and meaningful.
They looked at each other for a long time and then Luke said:
"Well I probably should go"
"Yeah… probably" she said back still with a disappointed voice.
They walked down the stairs and towards the door. Luke opened the door: He looked out and saw that there where about two inches more water on the ground now then it was when he came and the rain was still poring down.
"Luke, you can't go home in this weather" Lorelai said.
"I'll be fine." Luke said back. "Except, I don't want to be in the way."
"You won't be in the way. It will even be nice. Rory is at Yale and it gets very empty here without her. I could use some company.
"Well, sure if you want me to stay I probably could stay. Are you sure it won't be a problem?"
"Of course it won't be a problem. If it was a problem I wouldn't have asked. We can watch some movies and just hang out. I have some takeout in the fridge so we won't starve. And tomorrow morning when it has stopped rain you can go and open the diner."
"Okay, that sounds good."
"Now, go sit in the couch and wait. I will go into the kitchen and get us something to eat. Would you like a beer?"
"Sure that will be fine"
"So sit down!"
Luke went to the couch and sat down. He couldn't believe that he was going to sleep in Lorelais house. He was in love with Lorelai, he knew that. For about four years he had tried to deny it but he couldn't. Every time she walked in to the diner his heart stopped for just a second. She always looked beautiful. Her hair always smelled great. Her blue gorgeous eyes were like heaven.
His thoughts were interrupted when Lorelai sat down on the couch. She gave him a beer a smiled at him. The beautiful smile that always made him shiver. 'God, this night isn't going to end well.'
