Yes! One review. D Thank you so much, OzDust!

" Rooorrryy! I'm going to Luke's!"
" Alright! Bring me back a doughnut."
Lorelai grabbed her coat, and threw it over her shoulders. " Sprinkles?" She called over her shoulder.
" Of course." Came the reply.
Lorelai grabbed the can of paintbrushes that she had rested by the door, glancing outside, and then dropped the can back down with a clutter.
" Rooorrry!" She moaned in fake despair.
" What now?" Rory peeked her head from her doorway.
" It's raining." Lorelai said, placing a hand on her hip.
" I know that."
" I don't have a raincoat."
" You have a car."
" Yes, but your Dad's using it, remember?"
" Oh, right." Rory paused for a moment. " Then walk to Luke's." She replied curtly, before slamming her bedroom door shut.
" But it's raaaiinning!" Lorelai groaned.
" Goodbye!" Rory called from her room, before the sound of music playing was heard.
" No doughnut for you.." She remarked miserably, picking up the can, and walking out onto the porch. She stared at the rain as it pounded again the ground, and wrapping her coat tighter around her, she raced from the protection of the porch.
As it began to rain harder, she ran along the sidewalk. She turned the corner, and there was Luke's. She pounded her fists on the door, dropping the can of paintbrushes by her feet.
" Luke! Open the damn door!" She roared, as the man at the counter slowly went to get his key.
" C'mon, Luke, I'm gonna… melt or something!" She groaned, trying to duck from the pelting raindrops.
The key turned in the socket, and Luke ushered her inside.
" Why didn't you drive?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
" Because Rory's dad is using it."
" Rory's dad?" Luke paused for a moment, and blinked a few times. " Rory's dad is in Stars Hollow?"
" Yep. Just for a little while, though." She remarked, shedding her coat, and placing on a chair beside her. She sighed to see that the rain had soaked through her coat, and her clothes were soaking wet. She began to shiver, as she wrapped her arms around herself.
" He's said he was leaving tomorrow." She sat down on a chair.
" Here, hold on a second. I'll get you a… blanket or something." He said, quickly running up the stairs to his apartment.
She watched him go and her heart lurched. He was such a great guy. He really was. But, no, no. She didn't have feelings for him. No way.
The more she thought about dating again, the more she forced not to think about Luke. But when he walked down the stairs, blanket in hand, she felt a smile tug at her lips.
" Here, this is all I have," He said with a sigh, looking up, and blinking a few times. Why was she looking at him like that? " Uhm…here." He said quickly, throwing a gray-ish colored blanket at her, and turning away so she couldn't see his reddened face.
She blinked a few times, as the blanket hit her in the face. " Honestly, Luke, you need to get a different color for this thing. This is hideous." She teased him, as she stood up to wrap it around her. She blinked as he stood behind the counter in silence. " Thank you..?"
" We have to start painting." Luke said gruffly, grabbing a paintbrush, and a can of paint.
Lorelai followed after, paintbrush in hand. " We'll start here." He said with a nod, as Lorelai came to his side. " Alright, Monotone-man! I'll start over here." She said with a grin, slathering her paintbrush, and applying the teal-colored paint over the wall. She heard Luke painting beside her, the silence in the room making her feel slightly nauseous.
She began to hum under her breath, one of her many painting songs developed over the years. She grinned to herself as she heard Luke sigh in frustration.
She just loved driving him crazy.
The simple pleasures of life.
" Lorelai, stop it." Luke glanced over at her, a slight smirk pulling at his lips.
" No, Mr.Grumpy-pants. This is fun." She said, grinning widely.
" Really?" He said, moving closer to her as he painted.
Lorelai sent him a sideways glance. " Yes, yes it is." She said, laughing giddily.
Luke laughed beside her, sending shivers down her spine.
" Well, this is fun too." He leaned his face inches from hers.
" Luke..ehh.." Her face had turned a deep shade of pink. She tried to turn her head away, but before she knew what was happening, his lips were pressed against hers.
She never knew Luke would kiss her. She never thought Luke could kiss like this. His arms wrapped around her waist, her tounge skimming along his bottom lip.
His hands burrowed beneath her soaked t-shirt, rubbing his fingertips against her bare skin.
" Luuukkkeee…." She moaned into his mouth, before she snapped back into reality.
She was kissing Luke. Coffee Luke. Diner Luke. The man who gave her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The man she flirted with to make him laugh. She was kissing him.
" Luke," Lorelai gasped, pulling herself away, her face flushed. " I…You..paint.." She tried to control the gasping breaths that were coming from her mouth. " I have to go." She panted. She fled out the door, the blanket left at the doorway.
Luke watched her go, walking outside as the rain began to soak through his clothes. He sighed in frustration, as he made his way up the stairs into his apartment.
