Thanks for all the reviews! I'm updating as much as I can.
Chapter 7
The bright sun streamed in the window and awoke Lorelai. She was slightly disoriented and her head hurt like hell. As she started to move to try and get to the aspirin on the nightstand, she noticed she was completely naked. Then she noticed Luke was right next to her also lacking clothing. That's when the whole night came flooding back. Party…booze…Luke…bed. In the midst of trying to remember how she wound up in her position, she realized she had muttered those three little words. Had he? Her head was banging too hard to remember.
As she opened the aspirin, the noise all the pills against the bottle made, woke Luke up. When Lorelai noticed she moaned "Bad morning." And offered him the medicine.
"Definitely." He mumbled and took the bottle. "Got any water? I hate swallowing these things dry."
"Bathroom." She said and pointed to the bathroom.
"I can't get up."
"Please don't ask me to carry you." She said sarcastically.
"I don't even want to move." He muttered and rubbed his forehead.
"I don't even want to think."
Lorelai's head felt like a bowling ball so she turned to face the window and tried to go back to sleep…It didn't work. She was still thinking about last night's craziness and both their confessions. Her deep thought was cut short when heard a deep voice ask her
"Did you mean it?" he asks seriously.
"You mean, did I mean those three little words that are almost impossible to say?" She questioned still looking out the window.
"Yeah, that." He took a deep breath and put his hand on her shoulder, pleading her to answer.
The hand on the shoulder made Lorelai think she should turn around and she slowly rolled to face Luke, who was on the right side of the bed.
"I think I did."
"So you're not sure."
"I think I can only be sure I meant if you meant it too."
Luke stared into Lorelai's big blue eyes and kissed her deeply, while running his fingers through her dark brunette hair. He continued to try and get her to understand what he meant through actions not words, but she really needed to know straight forward. Reluctantly, Lorelai pushed her hand against Luke's chest signaling him to stop. Luke was surprised by this and said very gently:
"What's the matter?"
"Did you mean it?" She whispered very insecurely her eyes full of worry.
"Of course I meant it. What did you think I was just doing?"
"I thought you were trying to get out of answering."
"It was my answer."
"Well, I know being verbal's not your thing, but could you try and use words just this once? I promise right after, we can go back to action, because I really do like action." She begged.
"I meant it, I love you."
"I love you too." She said with completely desire and then kissed him hard and long, while wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him on top of her. As Luke kissed her neck she barely got out:
"Wait."
"What, did I hurt you?" He asked worried he crushed her shoulder or something.
"No, I'm fine, I just wanted to ask, if we could alter the promise."
"You don't want to get married?" he panicked.
Then she began to ramble "What? Of course I do! I was just thinking about how we agreed that we didn't have to have sex, and we said we'd only do it if one of us really needed to, or wanted to. Well, I was wondering if we could just throw that out the window because I really love you, and this is amazing, and I don't think I can just do it once in a blue moon. This is something that I didn't know was going to be so incredible and I honestly couldn't predict. So I guess I'm asking you if we could just do this anytime we want. Of course if you don't want to that's okay, but I brought it up because I thought you might be okay because you're and a man and-"
Luke kissed her. "You were babbling."
Lorelai still looked worried like he would now think she was just a sex hound or something.
"And I like the idea."
"Really?" She smiled, feeling very relieved.
Luke kissed her again. It was meant to be a sweet short kiss, but Lorelai had other ideas. When she began putting her tongue in his mouth and rubbing her freshly shaven legs against his thighs her lost all control. That's when Lorelai flipped him over and round two started.
Later that morning Lorelai and Luke were cleaning up the breakfast dishes, getting ready to go to work around noon.
"I have to call Sookie and tell her I'll be in soon. Last night I didn't really specify when I'd be in to work. I just said I'd show up when the room stopped spinning from the hangover." She joked.
Lorelai dialed the kitchen of the inn and Sookie picked up.
"Kitchen." Sookie answered after a few rings.
"Hey Sookie."
"Lorelai. Are you coming in today?"
"Yeah I'll be in at noon. I had a busy morning here."
"Was the hangover that bad? Did you throw up? You should have called. I have special drinks for hangovers"
"It wasn't the hangover." Lorelai said in an evil tone and smiled.
"Then what was…oooooooooh." Sookie squealed. "You could should have called about that, I would just people you weren't coming in!"
"Okay Sook, calm down I'll be in soon."
"Okay bye, but I'm not actually expecting you to show up." Sookie shouted as Lorelai hung up."
As Lorelai hung up she felt two arms snake around her stomach and hot breath on her neck. Lorelai giggled, and then turned around put her arms around Luke's neck.
"Hi." She said.
"So I heard Sookie say she doesn't expect you to come in today."
"I still have to go."
"But why did she say that?"
"Oh, she just figured she would let me have time to do some other things." She grinned.
"Oh jeez, you told her." He whined, very embarrassed.
"You thought she didn't know?"
"I thought she assumed. I didn't think she got private details."
"I don't tell her that. I just say you have a nice butt." She grabbed his butt.
Feeling even more embarrassed, Luke said: "Okay, time for work." And he began to push her out through the house.
"Well I feel so loved right now." Lorelai said as she neared the door.
"Go."
Lorelai grabbed her purse and her jacket, gave Luke a kiss and walked out the door.
"I love you." She shouted over her shoulder.
"Love you, too." He shouted as he stood on the porch. As he looked around outside while she pulled away, he saw Babette standing on her porch with eyes as big as saucers.
"Uh-oh." Luke said to himself.
He ran in the house and grabbed the phone, immediately calling Lorelai. She picked up on the second ring and said:
"Hey, miss me already?"
"I am just preparing you."
"Oh for what? Something special when I get home?" She smiled.
"Babette heard us both say the "L" word."
"How?"
"She was standing on her porch watching you leave the house. I'm just warning you, Miss Patty might ask you a few questions."
"Well I'm just going to tell her the truth."
"Okay. I guess I'll see you tonight."
"Yeah. Oh, and Luke…"
"Huh?"
"Look in the back of the closet." She smiled evilly.
I'll update soon, sorry its so short…next up…wedding!
