Chapter 7- Meet the Parents
Lorelai was in a daze the rest of the day. All she wanted to do was think about Luke and tonight. Lorelai was sitting in the Inn's kitchen drinking coffee.
"Lorelai? Earth to Lorelai? Lorelai? The coffee's running away! Lorelai? LORELAI?"
"Sorry Sookie. I'm so sorry." She apologized.
"Lorelai what world are you in. You're walking around the inn with a smile. Michel insulted you and you didn't do anything or say anything back."
"It's nothing, really."
"It's a guy, I know it. You have that smile on. Oh who is it? Do I know him? What is he like? I bet he is fine or else wouldn't be like this. Tell me tell me!
"Sook, chill out. I'll tell you only if you promise not to tell anyone yet. Not even Jackson."
"All right, I promise, now please tell me, the suspense is killing me."
"It's (pause) Luke."
"It's Luke! Oh my god it's Luke. You two finally saw it. Oh it's Luke. When did this happen? Oh was it on top of a table?"
"Sookie, slow down there, what was on top of a table?"
"You know, the you know."
"There was no sex Sookie, it just happened last night. Jess and Rory played matchmakers/ Parent trap. They sent me and Luke on a blind date with each other. Well we had a good time and then her drove me home. He walked me to my porch. Then, and then (pause) he kissed me.
"Oh how romantic."
"How I being set up by your seventeen year old daughter and her boyfriend romantic?"
"I don't know. Just you two together is romantic. You guys have been dancing around each other for years and now."
"Yeah," Lorelai stared out in space again.
"What kind of kiss was it? Was it a peck in a cheek? Lips?"
"It was a deep passionate kiss on the lips." She smiled remembering it. "We have a date tonight. What time is it?"
"3:15."
"Only 3 hours and 45 minutes till I see him."
"Wow, you've got it bad."

It was now six and Lorelai ran up the stairs. She rushed around the room looking for something to wear. Keeping in mind what Luke would like on her.
An hour later, Lorelai settled for a pair of nice fitting jeans and a low cut V neck blue blouse. She wore ankle black boots too. She quickly put some makeup on, hoping Luke wouldn't be on time considering it was 6:59."
At 7:10 the door bell rang. Lorelai ran down the stairs.
"I'm coming!" She tripped out a step. "AH!"
"Lorelai are you ok?" Luke called from outside.
Lorelai got up from the floor and ran to the door.
"Sorry, yeah I'm fine. I just had a little mishap and tripped." Lorelai put her hand on her back.
"Are you sure you're ok?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Come on in. I have to get my coat."
"Ok." Luke stepped into the house. Lorelai grabbed her coat from a chair.
"Come on lets go." They walked to his truck.
"You look nice." Luke told Lorelai.
"Thanks, you don't look bad yourself."
"How was your day?" He made conversation.
"It was good. How about you? How was your day?"
"My day is good so far."
"Well, good. Luke. Where are we going?"
"You'll see soon."
"Come on Lukey, please tell me!"
"You'll find out when we get there."
"Fine, be like that." She pouted the rest of the way there.
They got to a little restaurant 15 minutes later. They walked inside and were greeted by a sweet old lady."
"Oh, hello Lucas, it's good to see you!"
"Hello Maisy, it's good to see you too. This is Lorelai."
"Oh my, this is the Lorelai you always talk about. Lucas nice choice," turns to Lorelai, "He never brings his girls here. You must be special."
"I hope so." Lorelai replied.
"Here let me take you to your table." Maisy lead them to a table.
"Here we are. I'll be right back. I'll go get some champagne for you two. Maisy left.
"She knows you. Come here often?" Lorelai asked.
"Actually I come here a lot, whenever I get the chance, breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I've know her all my life her husband Buddy too. They were my parent's best friends. They are like parents to me now. With them I wouldn't have been able to open the diner.
"Lucas, it's great to see you." Buddy came out from the kitchen.
"Great to see you too Buddy." Luke got up to give him a hug.
"And who is this beautiful young lady you have with you today Lucas?"
"This is Lorelai."
"Hello Lorelai," He shook hands with her.
"Hi Buddy, nice to meet you."
"Lucas has told us so much about you and your daughter."
"Well it's nice to be mentioned."
"Oh I know exactly what to make you two for dinner. I'll be back." Just then Maisy came to the table with the champagne.
"Here you are," she said pouring it in to glasses. "You two have fun now." Luke and Lorelai were left alone.
They had dinner, and read the back of Sniffy's menu about the story of Sniffy the dog. They were having the time of there life. Buddy and Maisy saw the whole thing.
"This is the first time I've seen Lucas this happy and laughing." Maisy commented to Buddy.
"He better hold on to her. She's just what he needs."
"Yes she is."
It was around 10 when both Luke and Lorelai noticed the time.
"I guess we missed our movie," Luke noticed.
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about the fact that it's past 10 on a Monday night."
"Wow, I guess time flies when you are having fun."
"Yeah, I guess it does."
"So should we go?" Lorelai asked.
"We should, Buddy and Maisy probably want to get home soon."
They both put on their coats and made there was out to the exit. Buddy and Maisy were by the door.
"Leaving so soon?" Buddy asked.
"It's past 10. You should have kicked us out an hour ago."
"Well that is hard to do to you son. May I speak with you for a moment?" Buddy asked Luke.
"Yeah sure." They went into the kitchen.
"How long have you been seeing Lorelai?"
"Two days," Luke replied.
"That's it. You talked about her for years and you asked her out two days ago?"
"I didn't really ask her out."
"So she asked you then?"
"Not exactly."
"Then how did it happen son?"
"Jess and Rory, Lorelai's daughter, set us up on a blind date together because apparently we both were having a dry spell and of course I haven't dated anyone since Rachel and she hadn't gone out since her ex, Rory's dad, came back a year ago and screwed things up. Thing went very good last night so here we are now," Luke explained.
"I see, do you care for her?"
"Yeah I do," Luke replied, with a smile on his face. "Buddy why are you asking me all these questions?"
"I asking you all these questions because Maisy and I saw something today. Something we haven't seen in years. When we saw you two sitting at that table laughing and enjoying yourselves, we saw your mother and father. It was just like Will and Lena was here. (An: Does anyone know Luke's mother's name?) Just the way you smile when Lorelai says something, was just like what your father use to do everything your mother said or did something. In other words, I'm trying to say is, hold on to her. She's special I know. Now let's go back to our girls." They walked out of the kitchen to find Maisy and Lorelai deep in conversation.
"Sniffy was like our kid, other than looking after Lucas and Liz he was all we had."
"I always wanted a dog. Yeah I have a daughter but she's big now. In about 6 months she's going away to college. But the whole town including Luke won't let me have a pet after what happened with my hamster. Apparently I was the one who was the cause of its death."
"You were," Luke went into the conversation, "you wouldn't clean its cage you, and would stuff it with tissues. No wonder it gave you evil looks."
"I swear it was evil!"
"What about Rory's chick?"
"Oh you mean Stella, what about her?"
"Rory leaves you alone with her for less than 2 hours and she gets loose. You had to call me to help you find it."
"You broke my lemon lamp in the process too."
"Well at least will found her."
"Yup that and Rory in her Donna Reed outfit. That was a night to remember."
"Yes it was. We should go now. See you soon Bud. Bye Maisy."
"It was nice meeting you both." Lorelai said.
"Bye Lorelai, Lucas remember what I told you."
"I will. Bye."
"Come again soon." Maisy said.
They left the restaurant.
"What did Buddy tell you?" Lorelai asked Luke.
"Ah it was nothing really."
"Oh."
"He just told me to hang on to you because we reminded him of my parents."
"I see. Are you going to hang on to me?"
"It's a possibility." He gave her kiss. Then he opened the truck door for her.
"Today I felt like I was meeting your parents."
"Ok. Is that good or bad?"
"It's good."
"Buddy and Maisy are like my parents now so it's understandable."
"I wish they were my parents. When I bring you home to the Gilmore's we better have an escape plan."
"That'll be fun."
"Luke, what were your parents like?"
"They were great. My mom died when I was 10. She was the best, looked after me and my sister at home. She's the one that taught me how to cook. She in a way was just like you. Always spoke her mind, loved jokes, pretty blue eyes, and she loved town things. My dad on the other hand hated the damn things like me. He loved to build things hence the opening of the hardware store. He loved to fish and cared about my sister, my mother and I a lot. But then my mother died in a car accident things were never the same again. My dad became grumpy. Liz started doing her own things, drugs hanging out with guys, never coming home on time and I tried to take over what my mom did. I tried to take care of Liz, my dad, the hardware store, cooking, the clean you know. Me and my dad became close. Then 10 years later we got the news that my dad had Cancer. They tried to save him but he died a year later. Life as I knew it stopped until I laid eyes on you."
"That's so sweet."
"Well we're here," Luke said pulling up in Lorelai's drive way.
He got out and opened her door and led her to the porch.
"You know I have never told anyone about my parents before."
"I'm proud to be the first. Why did you tell me and nobody else?"
"I'm just comfortable with you. I can talk to you, I don't know why but I just can."
"I had a great time tonight."
"We should do it again. Tomorrow, you free?"
"Yeah I am. What do you have in mind?"
"Oh just something. Wear something warm. I don't want to hear complaints."
"Ok." They both leaned in for a long good night kiss.
"Goodnight."
"Good night."
