Chapter 6- Win a Date with Tad Hamilton

Rory got up the next morning not knowing where she was. It was about 5:45am. She sprung up like a pop tart when it pops out of a toaster.

'Where am I? She looked around. 'I'm in Luke's apartment.' She saw Luke sitting at a table in his kitchen sipping on some tea. He looked over to Rory.

"Hey, you're up." Luke said.

"Yeah, how exactly did I get here?" Her brain needed coffee.

"You feel asleep when you were here last night with Jess while your mom and I were out."

"Oh about that, I'm really sorry but we had to do something."

"Rory, it is ok, but I don't know how easily you will get off the hook with you mom."

"Yeah I did some fib telling. Not like me at all. Well I guess I'll head home now and face the facts." Rory grabbed her coat. "Bye Luke, thank you."

"Bye."

Rory walked inside the house quietly closed the door and crept inside. She went upstairs. Lorelai was fast asleep when she got up. She walked back downstairs again to her room and decided to get ready for school.

Lorelai came down to the smell of coffee in her pajamas. She walked into the kitchen to see Rory sitting at the table in her Chilton uniform reading a book with a cup of coffee on the table.

"Hey Sweets, when did you get home?"

"Oh, umm about an hour ago, I couldn't go back to sleep so I just got ready. Since I still have about an hour till my bus, I thought I would sit here and read my book." Pause "I'm sorry mom, for everything. The lying, the tricking you, the not coming home last nigh, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have done that. And because I did, I'm punishing myself for 4 weeks no wait, two months, wait I lied to my mother, 6 months without Jess or the TV or the phone. It'll be school, straight home and then studying."

"Sweetie please stop punishing yourself. It's ok, just don't do it again." Lorelai said as she poured herself a cup of coffee.

"Well I'm very very very very sorry. It's was all Jess' idea, and I the stupid girl that I am, went along with it all."

"I can perfectly tell it wasn't your doing. SO stop killing yourself. I kind of freaked out a little more than I should have last night with the lying and the not coming home. I'm ok now.

"I'll make it up too I promise. I made you sit through a dinner with Luke. You guys can't even go a minute in the diner without fighting. I'll give you coffee whenever you want and I'll never ever set you up again especially with Luke.

"Rory!"

"What?"

"Shut up so I can tell you about my date last night." Lorelai said with a grin on her face.

"Oh my god, you're what? Something happened right?"

"Well you dropped me off and I go in to find Luke sitting at a table which apparently happened to be my table too. Then we talk about how we'd been Parent trapped, and the resulting punishment. After that we ordered our food and we started talking about our pathetic lives and we laughed a lot. So I told him that he should laugh and smile more often. Then I asked him if he remember the first time we met. Let me tell you, he remember everything. You would think he's a guy and is very forgetful and useless but no not Luke. I was shocked. He pays for the dinner and then drives me home. In the car I ask him if it was a date. He left it up to me. Since it felt like one I told him I wanted him I wanted it to be a date. When we got home, he walks me to the door and tells me he had a good time. Before you knew it we were holding each other while we kissed. It was the perfect night except for what happened afterwards it was."

"What happed after?"

"Well you went a-wall and I want crazy."

"Did I mention how sorry I am about that? I ruined your perfect night."

"Don't worry Hun, it was still perfect."

"Luke's a great guy. Don't wreck it. He's been madly in love with you."

"I know, he kept the horoscope." Lorelai smiled.

"What horoscope?"

"I'll tell you about it later."

"Mom go get ready, I'm hungry we have time to go to Luke's."

"Ok." 'Oh my god, we are going to Luke's! This means Luke will be there with his sexy flannel and hat. Ouu I like the thought of that.'

"Mom, stop thinking about him."

"I can't help it." She ran upstairs to get dressed.

Twenty minutes later, Lorelai came down wearing a black knee length skirt with a pink blouse and pink pumps.

"Hurry up. I have a half hour till my bus gets here."

They both ran out the door.

Luke's was a little busy. Jess was helping around.

The bell jingled as the Gilmore girls walked in. Jess walked over to Rory and gave her a good morning peck. Rory and Lorelai took a seat at the empty table. In the process, Lorelai tripped over a chair.

"That was graceful you should be a ballerina." Rory said sarcastically.

"You've been hanging around Jess just a little two much." Lorelai replied back. Just then Luke walked up to them.

"Coffee?" he asked.

"Coffee would be great, thanks."

Luke pours coffee into two cups.

"Luke, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure, upstairs good?"

"Yeah, lead the way."

"Jess I am upstairs."

They disappeared behind the curtain.

"What do you suppose she wants?" Jess asked Rory.

"My guess would be her 'good morning sweetie' kiss."

Luke's Apartment

"Lorelai what do you want? I have a diner to run-" Just then Lorelai pushed her lips against his. The kiss deepened. Lorelai put her arms around Luke's neck and immediately began exploring his body. Luke put his hands around Lorelai back, supporting her up. They soon pull away in need of air.

"That's what I wanted," Lorelai replied.

"Good morning."

"Good morning to you too." They stayed in each others arms for a minute.

"What are you doing tonight?" Luke asked.

"Well I was hoping to win a date with Tad Hamilton."

"Who?"

"Luke watch some movies will you."

"I should have known. So about tonight, you free?"

"Yes I am."

"Do you want to catch a movie and have dinner with me?"

"I guess I can settle for you. You ain't no Tad Hamilton but we'll see about that."

"Pick you up at seven?"

"Sure, wait Babette?"

"What about Babette?"

"She'll see us. Do you want the whole town to know now, because if you do I'll be fine with that?"

"How about when they find out, it's out. We'll play it by ear."

"I like that."

"Can I still pick you up at seven?"

"Yes you can. What do you want me to wear?"

"Hmm..."

"Something that I can wear in public."

"Something sexy."

"Consider it done." Lorelai gave Luke a peck. "It feels good to be able to do that." They went downstairs.

When Luke and Lorelai came down, they had the biggest grin on there faces. The town didn't know what was up. Lorelai walked back to her table.

"Did you do something slutty?" Rory asked.

"Not yet but eventually I will."

"Oh goody!"

"Well I have a date with a certain diner owner. A sweet and very hot one too."

"I would love to chat right now but I can see my bus. I will see you later."

"Bye hun." Lorelai finished up her breakfast. She gave Luke a smile as she paid for their breakfast and left the diner.
