You've got to love a fire sometimes A/N: So… this is set during episode 'A Tale of Poes and Fire', it's just a little idea that I had and it is my first fic so please don't be gentle, be good. I really need some feedback here, because I have no idea if I'm doing it right! AT ALL! So please, pretty please be good and show me that I'm not talking to myself here… although I do that pretty often, now it's really not the time or place to do that though… Just remember that this happens when Lorelai goes to Luke (like always) for help on her little homeless situation. And he's still dating Nicole… I wasn't going to put her on this, but then it seems that it would give some good drama so... here she is… and just for the record: I REALLY DON'T LIKE THAT BLONDIE LAWYER, WHO'S JUST WAY TOO SKINY! Kay… I'm good now… just need to vent sometimes….
Chapter 01: Are you sure about this?
Lorelai ran into the Dinner as if she was afraid of what Mrs. Slutsky would say to her, not that she really cared. But that had been a long day, and all she wanted to do was rest, and, if possible, have one cup of that delicious Luke's coffee before she could go to bed.
"Why are you here again?" Like he didn't know, but the fun part was hear that she needed him for something. Stop that Luke! You have a girlfriend and this is your friend that needs your help for tonight. That's all.
"How was I supposed to know that…that my Inn, my beautiful Inn, being on fire would be these much fun? They were supposed to be long gone, but no, they have to come back and stay one more day 'cause I make it sound so much fun!"
"Who's back?" Luke was already taking a cup of the shelf and fixing her some coffee, after a day like the one she had he couldn't say 'no' to her wanting coffee; and she soon realized that it wasn't even necessary to ask.
"The stupid Hatlestad's… they were supposed to be gone and now I don't have a bed!" She said already pouting.
He had to smile at that.
"And now you need a place to crash, and you don't know any other place that you could go instead?"
She was taken by surprise with that question. Was her presence that unbearable to him?
"It's just for tonight Luke! I promise I'll be out of your way first thing tomorrow." She said it a little bit harsher than she would normally talk to him.
"Its not that I don't want you here," Is she crazy? All I ever do is wait for her to come by...and you're thinking like that again! Get a grip, man... You do have a girlfriend you know! "I just thought that you'd be more comfortable somewhere else, that's all."
He gave her the cup of coffee, and then started to walk toward his apartment with Lorelai closely following him.
"Aw, how sweet of you... but I'm staying here anyway... there's no way I'm going to spend the night with Kirk and his mother! Urgh... Just the thought of that makes me sick!"
"Okay, just 'cause you had a really crappy day, I won't mock you about the 'spend the night with Kirk.' Right?" He had that grin in his face that she couldn't fight on or argue with. Actually, she could but she was just too tired for it.
"You're such an angel, did anyone ever tell you that?" That mocking tone in her voice was just too much.
"Hey, if you want to spend the night here, stop with that mocking!" Just as the words were out of his mouth he realized what she was going to say…
"Dirty!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lorelai is sitting in the couch, waiting for Luke to come out of the bathroom so she can go in and change out of her outfit into her pj's. When she suddenly starts to cry, the tears wanted to come since that morning but she was keeping herself busy so that didn't happened and only now she was able to let them run down her face. It was too late when she realized that Luke was going to come out of the bathroom soon enough and he seeing her crying was not an option, so she tries to stop it but it just doesn't work. Luke comes out of the bathroom and finds Lorelai with her hands covering her face sobbing hard.
"What's the matter?" He's worried; of course he's worried. He has never seen her like this.
"I'm sorry; I don't know where all of these damn tears came from!"
"It's okay. Calm down." He said in a suiting voice, hugging her close.
This feels good, doesn't it? It was all she could think for a few moments, but soon the words started to come nonstop, because, after all, it was Lorelai.
"The fireman's got there pretty quickly, and no one was hurt. But still, my Inn caught fire today, Luke. Fire! Can you imagine that? 'Cause I just can't! I mean, I think I did a good job managing everything—"
"You did an amazing job." Luke interrupted her; he was now placing soft kisses in her hair and she could fell the shivers running down her spine in response. But she kept talking anyway. It was always easier to ignore any type of feelings that Luke could cause her, she was doing this since they've meet and wasn't ready to stop it now.
"But I have no idea of what comes next. I don't know how the Inn will be after this, if it's going to be in a good shape to run it again, or if people would be interest to come to an Inn that was just on fire!"
Now the sobs were harder and she was snuggling in Luke's shoulder for some comfort. It was weird how he was the one who always did that, sure Rory was a good friend, the best one actually, but sometimes she needed that other person, the one that would just be there for her with no strings attached. And Luke was the one suited for the job.
"Hey…you don't have to think about that know, and I'm sure the Inn is not that bad and you'll be back to work in less then a month." God she smells good. Lorelai always did that to him. He would stop thinking about pretty much anything else when she needed him and he just couldn't say 'no'.
She felt safe in his embrace; it was new for her being so vulnerable in front of a guy. But this didn't seem weird. It was natural for her to rely on him for those types of things and she knew he would never let her down, not even now that he had Nicole.
What about Nicole? What the heck… It's not my fault if she leaves a guy like this alone at night. Wow! Weird thought about Luke here! Am I really thinking these things? He's just a friend, Lorelai, nothing more… But he does smell really good! Dear God make me stop this!
They stood there for a few more seconds before Lorelai pulled out of his arms and looked up to stare at his eyes, his amazingly blue eyes. And she felt it. She felt the passion in his eyes and saw that he was not the only one feeling it.
Oh, boy…this is not good… Lorelai, go to bed right now! I mean it; break the gaze and go to sleep!
Too late.
His lips were now just a few inches away from hers.
"My God, you're beautiful!"
That came out just like a whisper and he could not bare it any longer, he had to kiss her. He wanted to do that for so long that he couldn't even remember just how long. Even after Nicole entered his life, if there was something he couldn't do, was take Lorelai off of his mind.
Why did he say that? There's not much a woman can do when a guy calls her beautiful, unless you're me, then you start analyzing everything before you do what you really want to do… WAIT! I want to kiss Luke? Of course I do, like right now. But what about later? I couldn't stand losing him...and he is dating Nicole. But if he's not thinking about her why should I? No I shouldn't do this; I really don't want to lose him!
But Luke was faster than her. He just closed his eyes and went for it. If they kissed, it would be the most amazing thing that he could ever have expected from a fire, and if they didn't, he could always go away…far far away, because he would never be able to look at her again.
And then, they kissed.
The sweetest of kisses.
Lorelai's right hand was on his chest and her left hand found a place his knees; his hands holding her waist to pull her closer to him. They broke apart a few seconds later, Luke had a grin on his face and Lorelai held her eyes closed. This was too surreal and she was afraid that if she opened her eyes he would be gone.
And now she was the one bending closer to him, their lips met again in a more passionate kiss, Lorelai opened her mouth so she could find out how it was to really kiss Luke… As the seconds passed by the kiss got more heated and Lorelai let out a shy moan "I just make Lorelai Gilmore moan!" and with that though he pulled her even closer to him, and she didn't even hesitated.
Then suddenly, a very confused Nicole pulls the apartment door open; she looks surprised at the two of then who had just jumped apart when they heard the door opening.
"What's going on here, Luke?"
A/N: Well how did you guys like that! It's my first (as I have tould you earlyer) nad I need you to tell if this is any good!
I have to say that I'm totaly depress.. that's why I'm writhing this... I saw the spoilers for the day and they ain't good! So... I'm just going to bed.. andcry myself to sleep...
But remember: R/R!
