PART TWO

Previously…

'This was my idea, Luke can't find someone and leave me looking like an undesirable loser' she told herself as she passed her card, knowing even if he did call that she wouldn't call him back anyway. Part of her knew she was only doing this because of the jealousy she felt when she saw Luke and the blonde woman at the bar…Lorelai decided that yes indeed ignorance was bliss and decided to disregard that part of her conscience that was telling her it was wrong to do this out of jealousy.

Luke watched as the man got up from his seat and left, leaving him and Lorelai alone once again although Luke just stood staring down at the table for a few seconds.

"I need to use the men's room" Luke said and set his beer down next to Lorelai's drink and walked across the bar to the signs pointing to the Men's room. He smiled again at Sarah who was sitting at a table he passed with some of her friends. He had known her when they were teenagers and she was a good friend of Rachel's. It had surprised him that she had recognised him at the bar. He had to give it a minute before he could put a name to the face, the blonde hair had thrown him for a second. She was married to a lawyer now 'Good luck with that' he thought, his internal hate for all lawyers at its peak since Nicole.

Lorelai watched Luke walk off in the direction of the men's room, wondering why she had felt so awkward when she had given Steve her number…that had been the point of coming tonight right? 'No, you just wanted to spend time with Luke' a voice inside her head argued. Her and Luke had been having fun, then she had seen him talking to a woman at the bar and remembered what the whole point to the evening was, which surprisingly he seemed to be sticking to. So of course when asked for her number she passed it over, so what if Luke was watching? No big deal? Lorelai said trying to convince herself but she felt like her stomach was gradually becoming knotted, especially seeing Luke glance in the direction of the blonde woman again.

A few minutes later Luke returned to the table where an uncomfortable silence fell between the two of them.

"So I guess your night was a success then" Luke stated thinking of how Lorelai's goal of the evening was to prove to herself she was still a desirable woman…although he'd never had any doubt.

"I wouldn't go that far" Lorelai scoffed.

"Well a start maybe" he murmured as he looked down at his beer.

"Mmm maybe"

"He might not even call" Lorelai said, for some reason wanting to leave some doubt in Luke's mind.

"He'd be crazy not to" Luke scoffed before realising what he'd said and took a long drink trying to avoid her gaze. She smiled shyly down into her glass as she took a drink, knowing he was embarrassed at his last sweet comment.

Luke watched how Lorelai swirled her cocktail stick slowly around in her glass before lifting it up to her mouth and pulling the olive off it with her teeth and sucking it into her mouth. Luke had to tear his eyes away before he did something he might regret, so he sat and examined the beer mat until she was done. The conversation between them gradually returned to what it had been before the guy had come over, although the air between them had changed slightly as the number of drinks increased.

"I never thought I'd be this age and alone" Lorelai said in a low voice as she worked on her third martini.

"I never thought I'd be this age and alone" Luke muttered before taking a sip of beer.

"You want to go? Suddenly I don't feel like being here"

"Yeah me neither, although we'll have to call a cab" he said as he mentally tried to count the number of beers he'd had, must have been at least four or five.

"Probably best"

A little while later the two of them stood outside waiting for the cab which should have been there. Lorelai stood outside next to Luke, it wasn't even that cold but yet she was trying to stop herself from shivering.

"Here" Luke said taking off his jacket and putting it over her shoulders.

"Thanks Luke" Lorelai smiled pulling the jacket tighter around her, unconsciously inhaling Luke's scent. It was a mixture between some cologne and the usual diner smell. She loved it, it made her feel safe in some strange way.

"Where is the cab? They are always so damn late and when they finally do grace us with their presence the driver has some crappy attitude and charges extortionate rates because he thinks he can. Well I'm…" Luke said beginning to rant as they stood out in the dark.

"Luke finish the rant later, cab's here" Lorelai said with a small smile when she saw a cab pull up just down from them. She grabbed his arm and pulled him over.

"Finally" Luke muttered.

"Stars Hollow please" Lorelai said to the driver once they were inside. Luke ranted in whisper in her ear about how small the backseat was and how it should be illegal to transport people in this size a space…apparently drinking made him rant more. Although Lorelai wasn't bothered by that. She was more bothered by the feelings she was getting when he was whispering in her ear. His warm breath on her neck and his body so close, it was driving her crazy.

"Here is fine thank you" Lorelai said when the taxi came up to the diner. She figured she'd get some coffee and walk home. The two of them got out, Lorelai actually falling slightly into Luke while getting out… She blamed the shoes. They both walked into the diner and Lorelai took her usual space at the counter while Luke went behind it and turned on the coffee machine.

"You know me well"

"If I didn't give you coffee you'd stay here and bug me, meaning keeping me from sleeping" Luke grumbled.

"Well I see this date hasn't helped your social skills" Lorelai said not realising she had just called it a date.

"Date?" Luke asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Date? Did I say date? I meant outing, yes outing…slip of the tongue. Speaking of which how do you feel about tongue piercings? I mean do guys like that, is that a turn-on for guys?" Lorelai rambled as Luke rolled his eyes, although a smirk playing on his features made him have to turn around to face the coffee machine.

"It doesn't turn me on…or any man with any type of hygiene. It's just unsanitary, how do you eat with one of those?" Luke said starting into full-on rant mode.

"Fine fine I'll tell Rory not to get one then" she laughed.

"The things that you find amusing astound me" he grunted as he poured her a cup of coffee and passed it over, she practically inhaled it and had it finished in less than a minute.

"Another cup" Lorelai said pushing her cup across his direction.

"No"

"Yes Luke please!"

"It's nearly 1am"

"I'll take it in a to-go cup even"

"You're going to die" he said but in spite of himself he still took a take-out cup from under the counter and filled it with coffee.

"Angel baby, you"

"Junkie, you"

"Okay well I'm gonna go. Thanks for coming with me tonight Luke" Lorelai said placing a hand over Luke's. The two of them had touched plenty of times, but when she put her hand on his tonight it was different, electricity pulsed between them even as their eyes met.

"I'll return the jacket tomorrow. Night Luke" Lorelai said with a smile and a wink as she turned and left, the bell ringing on her way out. Luke watched her leave until she disappeared into the dark night. Wondering how he ever let her convince him to go out to a single's bar with her when she was the only person he'd ever think of taking home.

Read and review….go on, you know you want to !
