Chapter 5- A Night to Remember
Diner 8:30ish
Rory was sitting at a table eating pie and doing some homework. The diner was pretty empty. Caesar was in the kitchen and Jess was covering the counter.
"Jess, can I have some coffee?" Kirk asked.
Jess pours coffee in a mug.
"Is this caffeinated?"
"Yes it is Kirk. It's coffee how else is it supposed to be?"
"A quarter caffeinated three-fourths decaf."
"Whatever Kirk." Jess walks away.
"Wait, what about my coffee?"
"I gave it to you already." Jess goes over to Rory.
"Well mother isn't going to be pleased with me tonight." And he took a sip.
Jess sat down next to Rory.
"Do you think my mom is going to be mad at me after tonight?" Rory asked.
"Why would she be mad at you?" Jess also asked.
"Well I lied to her, plus the whole tricking thing. I kind of feel bad."
"I doubt it. All I know is Luke is going to thank me. Maybe not tonight but he will someday. He's mad, I've been here for a year and I've got a Gilmore girl, and he, poor guy has known Lorelai for 7 or 8 years and doesn't have her."
"Yeah, well just to give you a heads up, I see you getting smacked up side the head in the near future." They both laughed.
"Let's go upstairs. We can watch some T.V." Jess said.

Meanwhile in Hartford
Luke and Lorelai were both laughing and eating dinner. Lorelai realized that grumpy old Luke was laughing and smiling too while telling stories of there lives.
"You know, you should smile and laugh more often," Lorelai suggested.
"Yeah?"
"You should take a break from being Grumpy. All you need is a pick digger mining tool thing and you'll be will the other 6 dwarfs."
"You just lost me."
"I'm referring to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. There 7 dwarfs, Happy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Bashful, Doc, Sleepy and my personal favorite, Dopey so you would be one of them.
"I'm not getting you?"
"Never mind. My point is that it's nice to see you smile and laugh."
"Ok."
"Hey Luke, do you remember the first time we met?" Lorelai asked.
"Yeah I do. It was in the middle of the lunch rush and this woman came in the Diner in a caffeine frenzy. She came up to me and asked for coffee. I told her to wait her turn. She waited impatiently for a minute and then began following me around the Diner. I told her I'll get to her when I get to her. She then goes over to a man with a newspaper and asks to take a section of it. She came up to me again and asked me for my birthday. I didn't tell her at first but she wouldn't leave me alone. Finally I gave in and told her my birthday. She then opened up to the horoscope page and ripped out my horoscope. Then she took my pen while I was taking an order and scribbled something on it and gave it to me. It read, 'You'll meet annoying women today. Give here coffee and she'll go away.' She told me to keep this in my wallet and one day it'll bring me luck." Luke finished up.
"Wow, I can't believe you remembered." Lorelai said.
"Here," Luke said, as he reached into his pocket for his wallet, "let me show you something." He pulled out the horoscope, and showed it to her.
"You kept this in your wallet? You kept this in your wallet for seven years?"
"Yup, you're just lucky I never clean out my wallet."
Just then the waiter came up to the table with the check. Lorelai reached into her purse for money.
"No wait," Luke stopped her, "I got this."
"Are you sure because-"
"It's fine Lorelai."
"Ok."
They paid and were putting on their coats. Lorelai took out her cell phone.
"Hey Luke?"
"Yeah?"
"Could you give me a ride? Rory's not picking up her cell phone. She must have gone to bed already."
"No problem."
The both left the restaurant and got into Luke's truck. The ride was quiet.
'Wow this is Luke. I had a good time with Luke. My best friend Luke is hot and sexy without the flannel and baseball cap. And his hair- whoa Lorelai don't get ahead of yourself. You don't have feeling for Luke. Hmm, I wonder what is under all those layers he normally wears. Stop it Lorelai. Wait, maybe I do have feeling for him. Even if I do I'm sure he doesn't have feeling for me. What if the town's right and he does?'
"Hey Luke I was wondering," Lorelai broke the silence, "was this a date? I mean it feels like one."
"If you want it to be, fine. If you don't want it to be, fine."
"What if I say I want it to be?" She flirted.
"Well then I say I feel the same way." They both smiled.
Five minutes later, they were at Lorelai's house. Luke got out and when to the other side to open Lorelai's door. He walks her to her porch.
"I had a great time tonight," Luke said.
"I did too," Lorelai replied.
"We should do it again sometime."
"Yeah, I would like that."
Before they knew it they both were leaning in for a kiss. Their lips met for a quick second and then they pulled away only to find themselves leaning in again. This time when their lips met it was for more that a few quick seconds. It was a kiss with sever years worth of passion. Neither one of them wanted to pull away but they need to come up to breathe.
"Wow." Lorelai said.
"You could say that again."
"Ok, wow." They both let out a little laugh.
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
Lorelai went inside the house in a daze. Luke walked back to his truck with a grin.
'Wow, Luke kissed me'
'I just kissed Lorelai Gilmore'
"Rory? Hun?" Lorelai called out while taking off her shoes. There was no answer.
"Rory?" she checked her room but she wasn't there. She checked the bathroom, not there. She ran upstairs, no sign of Rory anywhere. 'Oh my god! Where could she be!'
She picked up the phone and called Rory's cell, No answer still.
She calls the Diner because she remembers Rory telling her that she'd be there.
At that very moment, Luke walked into the Diner. The phone rang.
"Hello?" Luke answered.
"Oh Luke, is Rory there? She's not home and she's not picking up here phone. I remembered her telling-"
"Lorelai calm down. She's not down here but she maybe upstairs."
"Upstairs, alone with Jess in your apartment! Do you know what happened when I was her age and left alone with my boyfriend? The proof is Rory the missing girl herself!
"Calm down, everything will be ok. I'll call you back from upstairs."
She hung up. Luke ran upstairs, and busted through the door.
"JESS!" He yelled.
"Shhhh," Jess quietly pointed to Rory's head on his lap. Jess was sitting in the couch reading a book while Rory lay, fast asleep across the rest of the couch.
"Jess?"
"We were watching T.V and she fell asleep."
Luke had an "I'm not buying this" face on.
"Ok, we were making out for awhile, until the making out turning into something more. We out our clothes back on to watch T.V and she fell asleep. Is that what you want to hear?" Luke frowned. "I swear nothing happened."
"Alright," He picked up the phone and dialed Lorelai's number.
"Luke?"
"Hey Lorelai, Rory's here."
"She's there? Put her on the phone, she has some major explaining to do."
"Lorelai relax they were watching T.V and Rory feel asleep. It was innocent."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, do you want me to wake her up and send her back home?"
"No let her sleep. She hasn't been getting much sleep lately." She explained.
"Ok then."
"I'll pick her up tomorrow morning."
"See you then."
"Yeah, and Luke, thank you." She hung up. Luke smiled.
"You're welcome." Jess said.
Luke wanted over to Jess and smacked him up side the head.
"Rory said you would do that."
"Rory's smart girl."
"Come on aren't you happy that we set you up with each other?"
"Oh that was you who did that."
"Oh come on you kissed her didn't you? Your face explains it all."
"Yeah I did."
"See we are all happy now." Luke went to a closet to get a blanket.
"Here, put this over her, and go to bed."
