Chapter 2April 5th, day before leaving
"So are you ready and packed for our vacation!" Lorelai said to Luke excitedly while sipping her coffee at the counter
"Yea, am I picking you guys up or are we meeting here?" Luke asked while giving Ceaser an order
"Actually my mom is sending a driver to pick us up tomorrow at 4 am" Lorelai said not to happily
"O.K so I will be at your house at 3:30 with coffee" Luke said and smiled
"You're an angel, and you can use your angel powers to get me some coffee" Lorelai said and slid her cup to him
"So now im an angel? Wait do angels even have powers?" He asked slightly confused
"I don't know but who cares give me coffee!"
"Here's you liquid death" He said and poured her coffee
"Thank you" She smiled sweetly at him
Next Day 3:32 amLuke bangs on the front door for the third time and still no answer. So he opens the door, which of course is unlocked.
"Lorelai?" He calls out walking into the living room
"Lorelai where the hell are you?" He called once again as he walked around the downstairs and fond she was nowhere to be seen. So Luke decided to check up the stairs. As he walked upstairs he checked the bathroom and again no Lorelai.
"Lorelai" Luke whispered as he opened her bedroom door and to his surprise there she was sleeping steadily on her stomach Hello Kitty pajamas and all.
"Lorelai wake up!" Luke said more loudly then he meant
"Mmhm… five more minutes Rory" She said and snuggled deeper into the sheets
"Lorelai wake up!" Luke hissed as he sat on the bed and poked her shoulder
"Luke" Lorelai said rubbing the sleep from her eyes
"Yea, what are you doing sleeping still, we are leaving in twenty minutes!" Luke said and got off the bed
"Shit, Shit, Shit, I was up late last night packing and I must have slept through the alarm, throw me that robe please?" Lorelai said motioning to the pink fuzzy robe hanging on a chair near Luke.
"Here, I'll be downstairs making you coffee, get ready" He said as he walked out the door
15 minutes later
"Do I smell some java?" Lorelai said fully dressed in a pair of jeans, red tank top, and a white zipper up in her hand
"Yes, here" Luke said handing her a cup of coffee
"Thanks, so we might want to go over what we are going to tell people?" Lorelai said as she sat at the table
"What do you mean tell people?" Luke asked cautiously
"Well how long we've been dating and how we meet and stuff" She said
"Dating, I thought I was only your date I didn't think we were pretending to be in a relationship Lorelai!" Luke said slightly annoyed
"Sorry, please do this for me?" She said and stuck her lower lip out sensing a beginning of a pout Luke gave in
"Fine, what is the story"
"It always seems to work, ok, meeting each other will stay the same as we did eight years ago and stuff, and dating let's say we have been dating since January long enough time to be dating seriously enough to bring you to California with me but not long enough that my mom will flip I didn't tell her" Lorelai smiled
"Wait, your mom, she doesn't know? Luke asked panicked
"Nope sorry but I told her I was bringing a date she just doesn't know it's you yet" Lorelai smiled and then a beep was heard from outside
"And here we go" Luke said walking outside
"Miss is this all your luggage?" The man asked gesturing to what Luke put on the porch, which was one black luggage that was his and two large red ones, which were Lorelai's
"Yes, thank you" She walked over to the limo
"Wow a limo your mom really did send a driver" Luke said following Lorelai inside the limo
"Yea, well get use to it this is the life you will be living in for over the next week," She laughed at the face Luke made
"So is Rory meeting us there?" He asked
"Her and Ben are meeting us at the airport and we are meeting my parents there are well"
"Great" Luke muttered under his breath as the limo pulled out from Lorelai's driveway
45 minutes later and a sleeping Lorelai
"Lorelai wake up we're here," Luke said as he nudged Lorelai in the arm
"I'm up, I'm up" She said slightly jumping and hitting her head on the top of the car
"Thanks a lot" Lorelai said grumpily as she rubbed her head
"I thought you were up" Luke said laughing
"Don't be all smug on me Luke Danes" Lorelai warned and followed Luke out of the limo
"Sir I will take your bags to baggage claim, Mr. And Mrs. Gilmore are waiting inside for you two" The driver said as he started to unload their baggage
"Thank you" Luke and Lorelai said and walked into the airport
"I wonder where we are meeting them?" Luke said which was followed by Emily Gilmore's voice
"Where are they, they were suppose to be here 10 minutes ago?" Emily screamed at Richard
"We're right here sorry we're late traffic?" Lorelai said as she walked up to the group
"Hey mom" Rory said and immediately hugged her tight
"Hey hunny, Hi Ben" She said as she hugged him
"Hey Lorelai" Ben replied which Lorelai was happy about she told him never to call her Mrs. Gilmore, it made her sound old
"Hey Luke, you remember Ben" Rory said as she hugged Luke and gestured to her boyfriend
"Yup, Good to see you" He said toward him
"Well Lorelai you said you were bring a date I didn't know you were dating Luke?" Emily said with a smug smile
"Well know you know, hi dad," Lorelai said as she hugged her dad
"Alright we should be getting on soon let's go," Richard said and they all followed but Lorelai stopped when her cell phone rang
"Lorelai who is calling you at 5 am?" Emily said
"Um. No one I'll be right back" She said after checking the caller I.D
"Hey" She said into her phone as she walked away from the group
"Hey, you at the airport yet?" Jason asked
"Yea, we are about to board on" Lorelai said as she stole glances from the group
"O.K well I just wanted to say hi and have a great plane ride and call me when you get to California ok?" Jason said
"O.K talk to you later Jason, bye" She hung her cell phone up quickly and returned to the group
"Who was that?" Luke whispered in her ear
"Jason" She said simply and didn't catch the look Luke gave her
"Oh." He said but Rory caught the disappointment in his eyes
