Here is chapter 2 already! This will probably the first and the last time I update so quickly, but I had some ideas for the chapter and I don't have much time next week to write so I thought I'd write it now!
Special thanks to: Jorien
Chapter 2
Lorelai couldn't stop thinking about what just happened when she walked home. Finally everything fell into place. This was the strange feeling she had for years. She was so in love with Luke. It only was another kind of love, which she hadn't experienced before so that's why she didn't know the feeling, but she liked it. Much better then she had known before.
When she got back home, Rory was already there. She entered the house, still smiling.
"Why are you smiling?" Rory asked curious. She knew something happened, because duh, she knew her mother longer than just a few days and otherwise she didn't smile like this.
"I just kissed Luke" Lorelai told her.
"What!" Rory said while she stood up very quickly – too quickly. She sat down again and said in the same shocked tone as earlier: "What!"
"I just…"
"I heard you, but why, when, how?"
"Well, I didn't plan it or anything, but I was just at Luke's and I broke down in front of him because of the Emily stuff, that I felt guilty about what I've said about her, and he comforted me and when I was leaving he pulled me back and we kissed. I'm pretty sure you know how?"
"Mom!"
"What?"
"You know its Luke, right?" Rory asked a little rhetorical.
"Really? No I didn't know that, thanks for clearing that up" Lorelai deadpanned.
"Mom, you know what I'm talking about. That's Luke, our Luke. When you guys break up..."
"Hey!" Lorelai interrupted a little offended.
"Well it wouldn't be the first time. And do you realise that when you do break up we can't get coffee at Luke's anymore and we actually have to get our coffee somewhere else, which is bad cause Luke's coffee is the best coffee in the world!"
"I know, but we won't break up… - at least I'm not planning on it. Actually, I don't even know if we're going to date or anything. I mean he kissed me when I broke down; maybe he did it just to comfort me. Oh my god, maybe he just kissed me to shut me up!" she said beginning to freak out
"Mom, you know Luke won't do that."
"I know, but still..."
"You didn't kiss him just because you didn't feel good, right?"
"No of course I didn't! I just realised that the strange feeling I've had for years when I am around Luke, is because I've been like in… love… with him for such a long time, but I never realised it, because it's another kind of love. Something I've never experienced before and let me tell you: it feels good, really good."
"Good" Rory said.
"I'm going to bed now" Lorelai said. "I need to think about what just happened"
"Okay" Rory said.
"Night babe"
"Night mom. You look happy"
"I am, I guess this is what I've been waiting for, for years"
Lorelai went upstairs to her bedroom and couldn't stop thinking what happened tonight. It was a good thing. A very good thing. Yes, it's a good thing. Is it a good thing? Did Luke think it was a good thing? Maybe he was thinking exact the same thing right now. She had to talk to him, but not now, she was too tired and just wanted to get some sleep. She would go to him in the morning and talk about what happened.
The next morning she was really scared: scared about what happened the night before, scared of Luke's reaction. What if he didn't mean it like this? She couldn't go and face him right now. He would tell her he made a mistake last night by kissing her.
When she came down, Rory was already up.
"Morning" Lorelai said
"Morning mom. I'm going to Luke's. Are you coming with me?"
"No, I can't"
"Why not?"
"He'll probably tell me what a big mistake he made last night and I can't handle that right now. Our whole friendship would be ruined! I can't go there Rory, I'm so scared of what he's thinking!"
Right after she said that, the phone rang.
"Hello" Lorelai said
"Hey it's Luke"
"Hey" Lorelai answered.
"I was wondering if you can come over?"
"Sure, why?"
"Well, I just want to talk, you know about what happened."
"Sure, I'll be there in an hour"
"See you then"
"Bye"
"See?" Lorelai said to Rory.
"What?" She asked.
"That was Luke; he asked if I can come over, he wants to talk. I knew it. I just knew it!"
"Mom, come on, it doesn't have to be a bad thing"
"I don't know. Well I'm just going to go now, the sooner the better."
"Bye"
"Bye hun"
When Lorelai left the house, she couldn't go to Luke's right away. She needed to prepare herself for what was going to happen. She also knew Rory was right and that it didn't have to be bad, but she needed to prepare herself for the worse.
After she walked through Stars Hollow for a while she decided it was time to face the truth and she walked to Luke's. When she entered the diner Luke was already working.
"Hey" He said. How could he be so relaxed? Life isn't fair!
"H-hey" She responded.
"Come on, let's go upstairs - it's a little too loud here."
"Okay"
Lorelai got really nervous when they got upstairs. She almost couldn't control herself anymore. But it wasn't just Lorelai who was nervous. Luke was just as nervous as she was. He almost didn't sleep. He just kept on thinking about what happened. He knew if they would break up, it was going to be like hell. She probably wouldn't come and get her coffee at his diner anymore. Was this really worth it? Was he really willing to risk his friendship with her? But then, after a few hours thinking, he realised he really wanted to do it. He really wanted to date her. He waited for the moment for so long and now that it finally arrived, he would be an idiot to let her go. That's when the doubts disappeared and he found himself here, with here. He was going to tell her that he really wanted to date her. He didn't know why he was this nervous, but that's just the way it was.
"I just wanted to say that I had fun last night. I mean not the part that you broke down, cause you know I don't like to see you like that, but you know the part of the evening after that" He started.
"What!" Lorelai responded.
"Okay, I know enough already if I hear your reaction. The feeling isn't mutual, is it?"
"Luke, what are you talking about? I thought you were going to tell me that you made a mistake last night by kissing me. I thought I was the only one who felt good about yesterday night, but you're saying you and me should date?"
"Yes, well sort of. I mean if you want? I'm certainly not going to tell you I didn't like what happened the other night."
"Well good"
"So we're clear?" Luke asked.
"Yes we are."
"Good, Good. So you wanna catch a movie tomorrow or so?"
"Is this your subtle way to ask me out on a date?"
"Sort of. Do you mind?" He responded.
"I'm free tomorrow night."
"And this is your subtle way to say yes?"
"Sort of" She answered.
"Cool, so I'll pick you up at 8, okay?
"Okay. Wow, a real date"
"I've also waited so long for this moment." Luke said grinning.
"So do I. I'm so glad you kissed me last night… I mean everything falls into place now. You know what I'm saying?"
"Yeah, I get you, but I really have to get back downstairs. It's probably busy by now and I think they need me there."
"Sure" Lorelai said.
When Luke passed her and walked to the door she pulled him back. She couldn't let him go downstairs before she kissed him. Especially not after what he just told her. She kissed him passionately and smiled after he pulled back.
"I so can get used to this" He said.
"So can I" She said grinning.
"Luke, wait!" She said after he walked to the door again. "I have to get something, I mean borrow something, cause otherwise the town is going to think crazy things. I mean we never get up here just to talk or so."
"Yeah, you're right. It's too early to tell the town about us. I mean, if you want to tell them, it's also fine, but..."
Lorelai interrupted Luke
"Do you want to tell them?" She asked.
"I don't know..."
"We'll see how it goes; they're going to find out eventually. Let's just wait and see what happens."
"Good idea" Luke said. "But I really have to go downstairs now."
He gave her a CD to borrow and a quick peck on the lips and went downstairs. Lorelai followed him.
When they got back downstairs, Luke gave Lorelai a coffee to go.
"Thanks for letting me borrow your CD, Luke" she said and held up the CD, after she saw people staring at them.
"Sure, you're welcome" He said.
Lorelai left after that and went to the Dragonfly Inn. She walked straight to the kitchen, to Sookie. She didn't even have time to greet her; she just wanted to tell her the whole story.
"Guess what happened?" She asked Sookie.
"What?"
"I kissed Luke and have a date with him tomorrow night."
One last word: Review :D
