Lorelai walked home, her mind spinning about what just happened.

"Luke kissed me," she said out loud, to try and make it seem more real.

"Luke kissed you," Rory shouted, leaving her seat on the porch and running to jump up and down next to her mother.

"Shhhh- don't announce it to the world," Lorelai scolded.

"Mom its eleven o'clock in Stars Hollow, everyone went to sleep an hour ago," Rory stated matter-of-factly.

"You don't know that- plus you know this town and its ability to hear gossip. They hide tape recorders around the town to listen in on people's private conversations," Lorelai answered, starting to panic about whether anyone heard.

"They only did that once and Kirk didn't even find them all," Rory reminded her.

"I know it's just… Luke… and I… kissed." Lorelai barely got the words out of her mouth.

"I heard you the first time rainman. Now tell me details. Did you kiss him first? No you wouldn't do that. He kissed you. Where was it? And why wasn't I there? Did you know you were going to kiss him? What was it like?" Rory asked a million questions her mind running equally as fast as Lorelai's.

"Well… let's just say that Nicole sucks," Lorelai responded, glumly.

"Wow- it was that good?" Rory asked.

"What do you mean 'it was that good'?" Lorelai wondered inquisitively.

"I just mean if it was good enough to insult the girlfriend, it must've been pretty good," Rory smiled. And then she added, "So why'd you leave?"

"Well… I promised you I would meet you at home," Lorelai defended.

"No you didn't." Rory said flatly.

"Of course I did… I said it right after I bargained with you," Lorelai concluded.

"No mom you didn't. I thought you wanted to stay after to make up with Luke. I just didn't think you would be making OUT with Luke," Rory giggled.

"We didn't make out- and oh my gosh, I just lied to Luke… again," said a stunned Lorelai.

"Well you didn't mean to… this time. But I think you should go back to the diner and ask him for your forgiveness," Rory winked.

Under normal circumstances Lorelai never would've gone back to the diner after she left. But she just had to figure things out… and he was a major part of the figuring out circle. As she ran through the cold weather in little more than her little black dress, she thought about the kiss and started to smile. She walked back into the diner and heard Luke say "We're closed" from the back room. She stopped- frozen in her tracks by the snowy weather and his voice. She heard him come out of the back room- probably to ask what the hell this person was still doing here.

"Hey what are you deaf? We're" Luke stopped abruptly, now aware of who had come in.

"I just remembered that I didn't promise Rory- and that we should probably talk about what happened," Lorelai said, getting down to business.

Then a very surprised Luke said, "Well… sure… if you want to talk. We can go upstairs."

Lorelai followed him upstairs, thinking that maybe that kiss meant nothing to Luke. Maybe it was just an impulse and now it was over and she was being a ridiculous little girl. At the same time, Luke was thinking about why he never kissed her earlier and how he would be able to stop now that he knew what it was like.

"So…" Luke started, unsure of what to say.

"So…" Lorelai answered, equally as unsure.

Luke looked at Lorelai and realized she was freezing. He thought about some ways he could keep her warm, but settled on the least sexual one.

"Hey… you should come over here by the heater," Luke suggested to a frozen Lorelai popsicle.

Lorelai graciously responded with, "Yes… I like that idea."

She sat down next to Luke by the warm heater and instantly felt the heat start to rise.

"Ok so what happened?" Lorelai bluntly stated.

"We kissed," Luke reminded her.

"Hey hey… wait just a second there buddy, where is this 'we' coming in? You kissed me remember? Or am I losing my mind?" Lorelai started to rant.

"No that ship has already sailed. But yes I did kiss you." Luke replied amused.

"Yea that's right, let's make sure that the blame goes to the right person," Lorelai said seriously.

"You didn't stop me," Luke said truthfully.

"Well not at first… but I eventually did…" Lorelai defended her actions.

"Why did it take so long?" Luke asked a little more softly with the same amusement in his voice.

"Because… I was… shocked," Lorelai scrambled for a reason.

"Uh-huh," Luke mumbled smugly.

"I was… and you are the one who did all the doing… or have we forgotten about that," Lorelai tried to divert the conversation from landing on her.

"Yes Lorelai, we both know I kissed you. What I wanna know is how you felt about it." Luke questioned.

"How I felt? Luke aren't you still married? How does Nicole feel about it? That should be your question." Lorelai told him, hurt. "And why is it that you kissed me in the first place- I mean what's the deal there? And how come…"

"Lorelai," Luke interrupted.

Lorelai responded with all her emotion in tears with, "What?"

"I'm not with Nicole anymore. I would've told you sooner, but I didn't want to hear I told you so," Luke smiled, wiping the tears off her cheeks.

"Oh," was all Lorelai could get out before Luke kissed her again.

Luke thought about what he was doing. He was finally kissing the girl he had a crush on for years. But he pulled away, because he didn't want Lorelai to regret anything.

"Hey why'd you stop," Lorelai wondered aloud.

"I'm sorry did you want me to keep going," Luke chuckled.

"Yes." Lorelai responded seriously and firmly.

"Well you know how I always do what you want," Luke replied, sarcasm evident in his tone.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Lorelai demanded, standing up and taking her jacket off.
