Ok here's the next chapter. Sorry it took long. Enjoy.

--------------------------------------------------------------

By the time I got back down to the diner, Rory had already ordered for us and had begun eating without me. I silently take my seat next to here.

Well?

We're good.

Really?

Yes, really. More than you know.

Good. Now eat.

Any chance you'll be breaking out of Emily mode soon?

In a minute. I'm kind of enjoying it. As she says this I see Luke come down the stairs. He looks at me and smiles, and I smile back. Then a customer calls out to him and breaks our little moment. Throughout breakfast I continually look in his direction and sometimes find him looking at me. Rory had mentioned earlier that she wanted to spend the day with me to catch up; and that she had something to talk to me about. So when we finished eating, Rory and I left and I was only able to wave goodbye to Luke.

About a couple hours after we left the diner, Rory still hasn't told me what she wants to talk about. I am about to ask her what it is when my cell rings. Its Tobin; he has a family emergency and I have to go to the Inn and fill in.

Its about 8pm and I am completely exhausted. Who knew Saturdays at the Inn could be so hectic. Maybe it just seemed that way because my mind has been on Luke all day long. When I'm not recalling the events of last night, I'm wondering what our relationship status is exactly. Are we dating even though we've never dated? Is he my boyfriend now? When will last night happen again? I need to see him; and I know how. I call home but there is no answer, so I leave a message. Then I call Luke and tell him there is an emergency at the Inn in room seven, and that he should just go right in. I do this while avoiding the topic of us. We'll talk about that when he gets here.

I'm in room seven and there's a knock on the room door. As I open it I see Luke.

I thought I told you to come right in.

Contrary to what you believe, I don't do everything you say.

And here I thought I was special. I smile sweetly at him and he's amused. Come in.

As he enters he asks. So what's the problem? I close the door behind him, turn him around to me and kiss him keenly. He kisses me back and wraps his arms around me.

The problem is I haven't seen you all day.

So that woman I kissed this morning was your twin?

You Kissed Laura? Before I can go on one of my senseless rants he kisses me. I miss his kisses.

So… He says pulling back but still holding me close.

So…

How much time do we have here? Forever I hope.

All night.

Good. And he kisses me again. Soon his lips move to my neck and I am loving how it feels. Unfortunately I can't fully enjoy it because I have this one annoying question on my mind.

Luke? He doesn't really answer me; just kind of growls into my neck and the vibrations makes me laugh a little. We are… I'm nervous about asking him this ….together now….right? Otherwise, what happened last night and what's going on right now is very misleading. I add quickly.

He removes his face from my neck and looks at me. Are you asking me if you're my girlfriend?

I immediately huff. No….then I swallow my pride…. But… yes.

He is smirking at me now. He's playing with me. Now is not the time to play with me. He put his hands on my hips and makes a little space between us, and then he asks me.

Lorelai would you like to be my girlfriend. Now he's patronizing me. But I don't care.

Yes. I respond childlike.

Ok. And we seal it with a kiss; among other things.

--------------1 or so hour later -----------------

I'm lying on my back looking up at Luke. He is on his side, propped up by his elbow looking down at me; a naked me. Every second I'm with him is better than the last. The way he looks at me makes me feel like I'm the only thing worth looking at. I like that feeling. He brings his free hand to my face and caresses my cheek. Slowly and lightly he moves it to my neck and continues down my body. His fingers, and his eyes, travel between my breasts, over my abdomen and to my navel. His touch does something to me and I involuntarily close me eyes. I don't understand how he could make me feel like this; but I know I don't want him to stop. He moves his hand back up to my face and I open my eyes to find him looking at me that way again.

Am I dreaming? He asks skeptically. I smile at him sweetly and run my hand up his arm. Then I pinch him.

Owww. He hisses.

I guess not. I grin at him pretty pleased with myself. All of a sudden he begins to tickle me and I begin to laugh uncontrollably.

Luke….st...stop. please …. stop. And as suddenly as he started he stops, but I'm still laughing. He is on top of me now, and my laughing subsides as I look into his eyes. This is like one of those moments in the 40's and 50's movies where the leading lady sees her leading man for the first time and instantly falls for him. The only difference is that I've know Luke for years. But right now I'm seeing him for the first time in a different way, and I know instantly that I'm in love with him. This realization sends a shock right though my body. I'm also overwhelmed with the need to tell him. To tell him now that he is the most wonderful man I've ever known and I never want to be without him. But he kisses me before I can. His kisses are so engaging and full of passion. I don't want to stop; I'll tell him later.

----------------------Luke's POV-------------------------

For the second straight night, I'm lying in bed with Lorelai in my arms; her head on my chest. Tonight has been even more intimate than the one before. Last night I allowed myself to admit, to no one but myself, that I am in love with her. Tonight I was going to tell her. But just when I was about to say those life changes words; she pinched me. I should have known better than to ask this woman that question. But its ok that I didn't get to tell her tonight, I will tell her another time.

Luke?

Yes?

Thank you. Not this again. I look down at her and see that she is grinning and trying not to laugh. She's playing with me.

Not funny. That's when she finally lets out her giggles. A few moments pass before she speaks again.

Luke?

Yes?

Can we not tell anyone yet? I try not to panic about why.

Ok.

It's just that, if we tell anyone then it could get back to Rory and I want to be the one to tell her. Completely understanding her reasoning, I relax feeling a lot better.

Ok.

I'm not trying to hide you from anyone. She says flustered.

Ok.

I want the whole world to know that I'm with you. I know she's not trying to hind, and find it cute that she wants to make it clear.

Ok.

But I don't want anyone to know before Rory.

Anyone must have a big mouth.

That she does.

We won't tell anyone. I say reassuringly. She relaxes and a moment later says.

It was perfect. I'm glad to know that she feels that way. For me, everything with her is perfect.

--------------------Rory's POV-------------------

He followed me home. When we got to the door I decided to invite him in, but first I call for mom to see if she is home. I haven't told her what I'd done yet and I'm not ready to. So I'm just making sure she doesn't see us together. I call again and look around to make absolutely sure. No one answered back. He comes in, while I check the machine.

(Lorelai's voice on answering machine- 'Hey babe. Its your mom, the one from Stars Hollow. I'm gonna be here at the Inn until late tonight. I think I may just spend the night. There's money for take out on the table. Also, no making out on any flat surfaces. This includes beds, sofa, table, chair, floor, steps and um …walls. Ok, be good. Love you. ')

When Dean and I first started dating she told me that mothers always know when their daughters are making out or even thinking about making out. I'm starting to believe its true.

So does this mean I can spend the night? He actually sounds hopeful, but he should know better.

No it doesn't; but if you want you can stay a while.

I want. He walks over to me and kisses me.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Rory has a secrete, any guesses what it is? And don't worry, this is primarily LL. But I will drop clues.

Reviews - I want them, I love them, I need them, I gonna name my first born after them.
