You've got to love a fire sometimes

A/N: Okay... for my first fic I think I got a lot of reviews, so thank you guys! I love it...

SPOILERS AHEAD!

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one thinking that ASP is crazy about break up our favorite couple! I'm so depress this days... the only thing that keep me from going and writing a horrible death letter to ASP is that I still have faith in her... I think she'll fix everything in time to not get me a mad woman!

So... now this is the thing... I don't know if this is the last part, I think that you guys can tell me if this is good or maybe I should get a better closure. It's up to you!

Chapter 02: New Beginnings.

Luke jumped off of the couch once he heard Nicole's voice; Lorelai froze, in complete shock.

This is so not happening… she didn't just saw me kissing Luke!

Luke was totally confused and had no idea of what to do so, he stepped close to Nicole and tried to guide her downstairs, but she just wouldn't go.

"What? You're trying to take me downstairs? I'm your girlfriend, Luke! If there's someone in here that should go is Lorelai!" Nicole said yelling now.

Lorelai felt so embarrassed that she couldn't even look up at her, she suddenly wished for invisibity.

"Nicole, please. Let's just…" Luke tried to explain.

"No, I'm not leaving this apartment if she's staying up here." She was pretty determined and Luke had no idea of how to get her out of there.

Really, the time you finally decide to kiss Lorelai and you're in a relationship! Talk about bad timing, right?

"She's right, Luke" It was all Lorelai was able to say before she was rudely interrupted by Nicole.

"You just stay out of it, okay Lorelai! What were you doing? He is in a relationship with me! And you just couldn't let him go, right? There's always something he has to do for you!" Nicole stopped talking and finally seemed to realize how late it was. "And what are you doing here this late at night?" She asked aggressively, she was just about to jump on Lorelai's throat when Luke came between the two of them.

It was a good thing too, because Lorelai wouldn't be able to restrain herself much longer, she was dying to make that snobby lawyer shut up.

"Hey, don't talk to her like that!" Oh boy, if it wasn't over already, it was definitely over now! He wouldn't let Nicole talk to Lorelai like that. "Who do you think you are to say those things to her?"

And now Nicole was the one in shock, she couldn't quite believe what she was hearing him say. He was defending Lorelai, the anti-Christ, right in front of her, his official girlfriend, and, if that wasn't enough he wasn't even trying to explain himself. She was royally pissed.

The room was quiet for a few seconds. Nicole was standing by the door now and Luke was facing her with Lorelai right behind him, protected by his tall figure.

"I thought I was only imagining things, but no, you really like her, don't you?" Her voice was calm and just above a whisper, her eyes were tearing up but she didn't break the gaze between the two of them. She had finally shown them the true Nicole, the person not the professional lawyer

Luke and Lorelai both were taken back with the sudden question.

"Nicole, I…" Luke tried to reason with her, being soon cut off.

"Just answer me, Luke. It's not a hard thing to do. You do like her, don't you?" Nicole started to walk around the small apartment, gesturing towards them. "God, in our first date you couldn't stop talking about her! Her eating habits, her addiction in coffee, her Inn, her daughter! You couldn't even stop that stupid grin from showing every time you mentioned her name!"

Lorelai was facing the ground, she felt out of place. She could not believe in what she was hearing. Is she serious? He couldn't stop talking about me and Rory?

Luke knew the answer to Nicole's question way before she ever asked. Of course he liked Lorelai. It's been this way since they've met about six years ago, but the timing was never on right for him, at least. There was always something in their way, just like now. But them, we've had never kiss before either.

After a few more seconds neither Nicole nor Lorelai could stand Luke's silence so Lorelai started walking towards the door so she could leave the apartment and the two could talk privately.

"Okay, I know I shouldn't be here right now. And as Nicole stated, she is your girlfriend and you guys should really talk this over. Thanks for letting me stay here tonight, Luke. But I think I can spend the night at Kirk's, not spend the night spend the night, but crash at his place tonight, with his mother… 'Cause she'll be there too, of course. It's her house after all, isn't it! I'll probably be sleeping in his mother's bedroom too, you know? So, I can feel safe. Not that you guys really care where I'm going to be at anyway!" Lorelai said trying to relieve some of the pressure on Luke, she was already moving to the 'office' door.

Luke and Nicole were no longer looking at each other, both momentarily distracted from each other by Lorelai's babbling talents.

Nicole already knew, and had known for a while; Luke's true feelings towards Lorelai. And Luke knew that Lorelai was simply babbling out of nervousness.

Lorelai wanted to get out of there as fast as humanly possible but, because of the hurry, she forgot to grab her bag before she left the room; so even before she could touch the first step on the stairs she had to turn back to grab her stuff.

"Forgot my bag." She tried to explain herself as she grabbed a bag from near the bed and showed to the pair, mainly so Nicole could see that she wasn't lying.

She quickly passed through them, she could almost feel the relief flood her…but then Nicole stopped her.

"You should stay. Clearly we're done with the lies over here. I'm the one who should be leaving, 'cause, really, I was never supposed to be here in the first place." And with that Nicole left.

They could hear the door being slammed downstairs; Lorelai knew why Nicole had left but was finding hard to believe on it. So she did what she does best, she completely ignored it.

"Luke, why didn't you stop her? If you want I can go and talk to her… no, she'll never going to hear me, but I'll go anyway and I can tell her that it was my entire fault…"

"It was not your fault!" She really wants me and Nicole to get back together?

"But I can tell her that it was all a mistake and…"

"Do you think it was a mistake?" He sounded a little more eager then he wanted to show.

"I…I don't know." This is so not happening! I can't say I liked the kiss, can I? Okay, just go with the 'oblivious' bit and you'll be fine, 'cause I really have no idea if it was a mistake or not! It was a great kiss but…oh boy…

"It's simple Lorelai, you either think it was a mistake or you don't!" He was a little louder now and so was she.

"I really don't now Luke! I mean, it's you and…"

"I know it's me and it's you, but I really don't think it was a mistake!" The last word came out full of anger. He was mad at her for being so afraid of admitting that, maybe, there was something there.

"Hey, I'm telling you that I don't know! It's you and it's me, and I don't want to lose you again. So, I'm sorry if I'm finding a little bit hard to process this whole thing!" She was mad at him for not letting her think first.

"Lose me again? What the hell are you talking about?" He's voice went back to its normal volume, he had went from being mad to just feeling confused.

"The summer Luke! You think it was easy to stay away from you during these three months? I thought I would never be able to talk to you again and I really don't want to have to ever re-live that felling again!"

"And how would that happen?" He couldn't believe that she was actually saying all those things.

"My God Luke! You're really blind sometimes! We kissed and I don't think it was a mistake. I would only think that if it had been a bad kiss, witch I really don't think it was, but now things will be different between us, and if something happen and we brake up…then I don't know if I…" And with that thought she stop talking.

She couldn't admit, even to herself, that she needed him the way she did, she couldn't admit that if he shut her out again she wouldn't make it. Last summer had been hard enough with everything that happened between Chris and her, but then, not being able to talk to Luke was even worse! She never felt so happier then the day she had become 'Mimi' and was able to see him everyday again. And it was with that last thought that she realized what had been right in front of her, what everyone already knew. God, even Rory had mentioned it before. It had always been Luke. The guy that cleans her gutters, the one who drove her to the hospital and then stood there by her side when her father was ill, even though he hated hospitals. The man who build her a Huppah when she was engaged to Max, even though they didn't get along all that well, but he did it for her. The guy who held her close and told her that everything would be fine and that she did an amazing job today. The one that she could always count on, the one who really loved her.

He was trying to figure out what she was thinking; it couldn't be that bad because she had that shy smile twitching at the corner of her lips. He really loved her smile.

Luke knew what he wanted; he knew it wasn't a mistake. They had shared an amazing kiss and it was completely clear to him that he wanted Lorelai; everyone could see it but her. Rachel was the one who told him not to wait too long, and even so he did. He waited and she got engaged. He just knew he had to do something to show her that he was there too, that he existed, even if it was just as a friend, so he builds her a Huppah. They had stood together under it talking about marriage and relationships; then the next day she got on a trip with Rory and the engagement was off. It had to mean something right?

But then the next year had been so crazy with Jess and the whole town hating him, not even Lorelai could bare him any longer, although Jess did put Rory into a car accident…they got into that horrible fight over it and were on bad terms for almost four months. It was an entire summer without seeing her, or listening to her insane babbling… and then one day she became 'Mimi' and he was happy that he would be able to see and talk to her again, things had progressively improved and now all he wanted to do was kiss her nonstop.

And now here they were. Both deep in thoughts and wonders, but it all led them to the same conclusion: this was it. This was the right thing to do and the right place to be. They haven't felt like this in a long time, neither Nicole nor Chris was able to cause such an effect on either of them.

And only now Lorelai realized how close Luke's body was from hers, she could feel the shivers running through her spine from his heavy breathing on her face. He couldn't stand it any longer, and once again he had to kiss her, it was becoming impossible to him to see her and not kiss her, especially after their first kiss.

She was looking into his eyes and it was like all that she ever wanted to do from now on was to look at him. He had never looked so handsome, with his grey pants and black t-shirt.

He put his hand on her cheeks and caresses it ever so softly.

"You really are beautiful, you know!" He wanted to say that every time he looked at her and if this was really real he would say it as many times as possible.

"And you shouldn't do this." Luke froze. Was she coming back to reality and trying to dump him even before things started? "This way you make it impossible for me not to kiss you!" She said that with a childish smile playing on her features and he had to smile too. "I just have no idea where this is going Luke."

"Me too… I just don't want to let 'this' go because I might me afraid of something. I don't want to lose you either, but I won't let this chance pass me by." Now his arms were around her waist and their voices were just above a whisper.

"I don't deserve you, you'll get so disappointed!" She was trying to sound more cheery then what she felt in reality.

"No, I won't, I know you enough to see that this could be something really great. For both of us."

"My, oh, my, you're already referring to you and me as an 'us', didn't know you were like this Luke Danes!" Her hands were playing with the hair in the back of his neck.

"You really have no idea Lorelai Gilmore."

He just couldn't wait any longer; before she could answer him he was placing his lips over hers in a passionate kiss. His hands roamed throw Lorelai's back as she did the same with his, the kiss became more demanding and their mouths parted Lorelai started to walk towards the bed.

"Wait, you sure about this?" Luke couldn't tell if she was doing this because she really wanted or because she thought it was what they were supposed to do.

"What do you mean?" She was breathing heavy and couldn't find one reason why she wouldn't want this.

"We have time. We don't need to… do it tonight."

He can't be this adorable all the time, there's just no way! And… I guess he's right, we don't have to do it tonight, and it's probably not a great idea to do it when we haven't even had a first date or anything... not that I really care, but it would be nice though.

"You're right. We don't need to do it tonight, not after everything that happened today. We can wait." She couldn't stop smiling, if it were any other guy they would be completely naked by now, but this was Luke.

"So, it's late, and we both need to get up early tomorrow… I think it would be the best if we just went to bed." He let her go and went to finish making the 'couch' so he could sleep in that thing.

"Wow, where do you thing you're going?"

"I need to finish this so I can go to sleep."

She looked disappointed. They didn't need to have sex but he didn't need to sleep on the couch either. It would be nice to just have someone closer to her after that horrible day, and who was better than Luke?

They finished making their beds and when Lorelai came back from the bathroom Luke was already on the couch and she made her way to the bed. After she lay down Luke turned off the light.

"Night Lorelai."

"Night Luke."

But she couldn't stop thinking about everything that had happened that day and she really didn't want to be alone anymore. There was no way he was sleeping in the couch tonight.

"Hey Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure… what is it?"

She hesitated for a moment; this was new to her, this situation with Luke. She had no idea what to say so she just said it.

"Can you come here with me and…just hold me?"

He didn't have to think twice, he jumped out of the couch and went towards the bed, where he laid there just holding her ever so thigh. They knew what that feeling was, it was the right place, the right time and more important the right person.
