Oh man! I love getting reviews I finally understand the glee you guys get when reading reviews. So here's the next chapter
The first thing Lorelai did after coming to this realization, was what she always did after every big realization; call Rory. She shut the tape off, and retrieved her tiny pink phone from her pocket. Rory was sitting on her bed with her laptop when her phone rang and she read the caller ID as being her mom. Oh, please not let this be another cat rant… She thought. "Hey Mom…" "I'm in love with Luke!" Lorelai blurted out worriedly. "WHAT? Mom how did you suddenly come to this." "The tape man! The tape man told me that I'm in love with Luke!" "The tape man? A man made of tape told you that you were in love with Luke, was this another weird dream? Seriously Mom you need to go to a shrink I can't keep analyzing these…" "No, the Dr. Phil-type guy on the tape I bought! Though his voice was even more irritating than Dr. Phil, y'now if that's possible? He gave me this test to find my ultimate companion, and surprise! It's not Leonardo Dicaprio, OR Johnny Depp unfortunately, but it's none other than our diner man Luke, our coffee man Luke, our Mr. Fix It Luke!"
"Okay…so you love Luke I get it, what are you planning to do about it?" "I don't know! I mean he just got divorced from Nicole! Oh, how I loathe that Nicole!" "My my, look how's getting defensive," Rory laughed. "And he's my friend, and I value his friendship more than he will ever know, I don't know if I can risk ruining that. And I probably disgust him, what with my coffee and sugar obsessions and crazy vocal abilities." Lorelai panicked "Oh come on Mom, he so likes you. Are you blind? You guys have been flirting indefinitely for 8 years! He always smiles when he sees you, and will do anything short of suicide for your benefit. You know, maybe I should even rethink the suicide…" "What? Really? No… the town always told me this but I always dismissed it. I mean if Luke liked me why didn't he ever act on it?"
"Think about it Mom, first you were with Max and were engaged, then you had the thing with Dad before he left…again, and then you dated Alex for a bit, which I by the way never found out what happened there…And then you were with Jason until the whole fiasco. Plus he was on and off with Rachel, then he was with Nicole, then married Nicole (which by the way you were completely jealous, I could tell because I know you) When did he ever have the right time? And plus, I don't know if you've ever noticed but Luke is kind of slow, you know and so are you. Aw! You're so perfect for each other!" Rory squealed. "Hang on there Mariah Carrey, down it a couple octaves. I don't know how to do this Rory, I mean it's Luke, I mean Luke, can you really imagine me and Luke together?" "I'd say it makes a beautiful picture." Rory replied about to break into joyful tears. "How come you never told me I was in love with Luke?" "I didn't know you were in love with Luke. I just know he likes you, and you so have the hots for him."
"Thanks babe, but I'm still a little freaked out. I'm gonna go over to Sookie's I think she can squeal almost as high as you." "I doubt it, but keep me posted." Rory signed off.
Lorelai practically sprinted to Sookie's, which of course resulted in her heavily panting upon her arrival. She knocked hard on the door. Jackson came out, "Hey Lorelai…were you running? Wow, never thought I'd use 'Lorelai' and 'running' in the same sentence." "Yes, pant and this pant should give you pant an idea pant of the urgency pant " As Jackson assured her in he yelled "Sookie! Lorelai's here", just loud enough not to wake the baby. Sookie peeled her self of the couch from her slumber, "Oh, Lorelai hey, we just got Davey to sleep, yay!" She squealed "Yah I was right almost as high as Rory", She mumbled to herself, "Sookie I am in need of some serious girl talk tonight." "At your service my friend, what can I do you for? Jackson, can you go somewhere else, check on Davey or something. Sorry hun, but you're not really the right gender for this kind of thing", Jackson left, "Okay what's up?"
"I …think I'm in love with Luke." "OH MY GOD! Sookie squealed. "Oh, higher…well then Rory's been dethroned." "Oh my god, I have the perfect idea for a wedding cake for you guys…" "Wow, Sookie let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I mean I haven't even done anything yet, I don't know what I should do really." Jackson came down the stairs with his fingers in his ears, "I'm not listening to your girl talk, I'm just looking for the upstairs remote." "Lorelai's in love with Luke!" Sookie shouted in glee. "What!", Jackson erupted as he slipped and fell down the last few stairs, "I'm okay." Sookie ignored Jackson and turned to Lorelai, "Oh Lorelai this is so great! You know he likes you don't you, hell, he may love you judging by the way he is around you." "Well how should I go about this, should I ask him out? Should I just jump the next time I see him and pin him to the ground, wow dirty!" "I always knew one of these days you guys would finally realize you're feelings." "Hey, my feelings are realized but I have no idea about Luke, I mean… oh I don't know anymore I'm so tired." Lorelai rested her head in her arms. "Aw, you should probably go home and rest. I'll see you at the inn tomorrow. We can continue this I promise." "Kay" Lorelai acknowledged muffled by her arms and slowly got up to leave.
Lorelai was walking home when she passed Doose's Market and encountered Luke just coming out with a bag. "Hey Lorelai…you look tired." Luke mentioned when he caught a glimpse of her face. "Oh yah, just a long day I guess" Lorelai said quietly trying to avoid eye contact with him. "Okay well the diner is just about to close if you want to come in for some coffee, I can't believe I'm actually encouraging coffee." "No, it's okay I'll just go home but thanks." She looked up just briefly and caught the light in Luke's eyes. He cracked a small smile, which Lorelai caught and suddenly began to swoon inside. She returned the smile and locked eyes with him for a few seconds. She could have sworn that there was a moment. "I better… get this sugar back to the diner. I bet I use up like half the sugar supply just on you and Rory. Well see you tomorrow morning I guess." Luke waved and walked across the road to the diner. Lorelai's smile grew wider until she was standing there grinning like an idiot, watching him walk away. She started starring at his but and giggled. Lorelai begun to walk back to her house, suddenly she was completely awake and alert. She felt a jolt in her step and couldn't wash the ridiculous smile off her face. She began to think that she maybe could do this thing, the thought of dating Luke didn't seem to scare her so much anymore.
Hope you like this one, there will be at least one more. It will probably involve Liz and TJ's wedding.
