Sing For Me
Chapter Five
"What are you doing here?" Lane asked him. Dave stood still in front of the door. His hands were in his pockets and he looked down at the floor.
"My parents wanted me home for Spring Break so I..."
"I thought Spring Break was over," Lane interrupted, remembering that Rory had started school a couple days earlier.
"In California we started this week."
"Oh," she said. There was a brief moment of silence. "I missed you," she finally got out.
He finally looked up at her, "I missed you, too."
They looked at each other for what seemed like forever before she went out from behind the counter and hugged him tightly. They pulled apart. Just then they heard the bell go off from the door. An older man came in and Dave backed away a bit.
"I better go, but I'll stop by your place tonight," he said to her.
"Okay. Um, Dave," she called out.
"Yeah"
"I, umm, I...I'll see you later."
He smiled at her and left. Lane took a deep breath and went over to the older gentleman.
"What can I get you," she asked him
Meanwhile, at the Dragonfly...
Lorelai was at the front desk with Michel looking over bookings when the phone rang.
"Are you going to get that," Lorelai asked Michel.
"I rather not," he replied.
"Michel, answer the phone."
"But why. It is never for me."
"Because if you don't answer the phone now you will soon be receiving lots and lots of calls from the unemployment agency."
Michel took that as a sign to do his job and he picked up the phone.
"Hello, Dragonfly Inn. This is Michel," he answered. "She's very busy right now. Well, hold on and I'll see if I can track her down."
He placed the receiver on the desk and went back to looking through the book.
"Who's the call for," Lorelai asked him.
"You."
"What? You were just going to let me stand here without telling me I had a call."
"I thought you would think it was funny."
Lorelai grabbed the receiver off the desk and gave Michel a dirty look.
"Hello, this is Lorelai," she said into the phone.
"Hey," Luke said when she answered.
"Hey Luke." She said pleased that he called.
"I just wanted to know if you were stopping by tonight."
"Ah, you wanted to get the chains out and ready."
"Something like that."
"Yeah, I'll be there around 8."
"Okay, well I'll see you then."
"Yeah, I'll see you then. And Luke..."
"What?"
"I...I...never mind."
"Oh, okay."
"Bye"
"Bye," he said back to her and she hung up the phone.
She stared at the desk for a minute contemplating what she had really wanted to say to Luke before she stopped herself. They had been dating for almost eight months and neither one had said it to the other yet.
You know..."It."
The big "It"
The big three worded "It" of all three worded "Its"
Yeah, that "It"
Lorelai sighed to herself and looked over at Michel. He had been looking at her the whole time.
"What?" she asked him.
"Did the diner man say something that bothered you?"
"No, Michel. And stop staring at me when I'm on the phone. It's freaks me out."
Lorelai walked away from the desk and stepped outside and stood in front of the door. It was the place where Luke first kissed her. She stood there for a brief moment before leaning back against the wall next to the door. She stood there with her arms crossed in front of her looking out.
She knew it was time.
Author's Note: Hee!
Real Author's Note: To clarify the timeline structure going on in this fic...I said Luke and Lorelai have been dating for nearly eight months. This fic takes place in March of 2005 which means they started "officially dating" circa end of July or sometime in August because someone (Lorelai) freaked out and needed time to "think" (Yeah, good thing I didn't write my FF about that, right?). And no, they haven't said the "I love you's" because I think it would take time for them to say it.
Real Author's Note #2: I have no idea how the Spring Break system works in California but what the hell, for the sake of the story it's that week.
