Sorry guys, it took me so long to update, but here's another chapter of my story. I hope you'll like it. It's the first step toward a Luke/Lorelai relationship. So, read and enjoy.

It had been more than a month since Rory had started to take the pill. The doctor had told her that she had to take it at least a month to be sure it worked. And now that she had taken it even more than a month she started to think even more about sleeping with him. After all she was already 19, most people did it at an earlier age. And also she was together with Jess and sure he wouldn't run away again. And she loved him. More than she ever loved Dean. Of course Dean had been her first love, but this was different. This was what you could call adult love.

Rory wanted to make the next step in her relationship with Jess. He was currently still living with Luke, but was looking for a place to stay.

Rory decided to talk with Jess about what was on her mind, since Jess showed up in Stars Hollow again. Funny, he hated the town, but still couldn't stay away from it.

Rory and Lorelai were sitting at Luke's and both sipping their coffee.

Suddenly Lorelai asked:" Should I ask him?"

"About what?"

"You know this thing my parents are making me go. This thing with the antique handwritings or whatever it is."

"What do you want to ask him about that. I'm sure he knows nothing about it."

"God, if he wants to come with me. You know the glorious Richard and Emily want me to bring someone and since they want that person to be someone male, I can't think of anybody else than Luke. So, what do you think? Should I ask him?"

(A/N: In this story, Lorelai never went out with Jason. Partly, because I want Lorelai and Luke to get together and partly, because I hate Jason. Anyway, back to the story)

Rory laughed. Of course her mother couldn't think of anybody else. Everybody in town and also other people knew that Lorelai and Luke were in love with each other. The only thing was they couldn't admit it.

"Yeah, you should ask him."

"Do you think he will say yes"

"Of course he will. He would say yes to everything you ask him."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing" Rory giggled and quickly took another of her coffee. But she knew it was true, Luke would do just about anything for her mother. Just as she set down her cup on the table, she saw Luke coming towards their table. She nodded approvingly to her mother. Luke arrived at their table. Lorelai looked at him with that look, that means she wants something. Luke immediately recognized it.

"Whatever it is, I'm not going to do it" he said quickly.

"How do you know I want something from you"

"He knows you too long and everybody who knows you that long, knows THE LOOK."

"Exactly, thank you Rory" said Luke.

"But you don't even know what I wanted to ask you.", said Lorelai.

"I know I don't want to do it. That's enough for me."

"Please, just listen to me."

"Ok, fine, what is it?", said Luke, sat down next to Rory and looked at Lorelai expectantly.

Lorelai started: "See, my parents are making me go to this strange event. Something about antique handwritings. I didn't quite understand it. Anyway, because they are short on guests they want me to take somebody with me."

"Great, take Rory" said Luke pointing at Rory.

"That's what I suggested. But they want me to take somebody male with me. And since you are my best friend, I thought…"

"No"

"Please"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"No", said Lorelai. That was a clever trick Lorelai made, that's how she got Rory into some things.

"Yes"

"Ha", said Lorelai. "You said yes, I heard it and Rory heard it, too. Right Rory"

"Oh yes, I heard Luke say yes". Luke gave her an angry look.

"I'm sorry, Luke, but I can't deny, what I heard with my own ears" said Rory pointing to her ears and giggling.

"Fine, I'll do it"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'll be your best friend forever, Lukey"

"Not if you call me Lukey, you won't"

"Ok, fine I will never call you Lukey ever again." She said extra loud, for the whole and packed diner to hear.

"Thank you. But I will have to close the diner then. Cesar has the week off and Jess can't handle the diner alone"

"No, I can help Jess. I mean you guys leave at 8 o'clock and then I can help Jess for two hours and then we close up. So simple is that" said Rory.

"Ok, that would work. Thank you Rory"

"You're welcome. I have to go now. I'll see you at home mom."

"Ok, I'll see you at home, hon"

Rory quickly headed out the door. But she was in just seconds after that she was in again.

"Is Jess upstairs?" she asked Luke.

"Yeah, he's on his break right now."

"Thanks" with that Roy headed upstairs.

Rory knocked on the door of Lukes apartment. After some time the door opened. Jess was standing in front of her-shirtless. Rory giggled.

"Hey Jess"

"Hey yourself" said Jess and gave her a quick kiss.

"What are you doing here?"

"Don't you want me here?"

"Yes, I do, I was just wondering"

"Well, I just wanted to tell you that I'm gonna help you in the diner from eight to ten, because my mom and Luke are going to this thing with my grandparents tomorrow. So Luke won't be her, so I'm going to help you. And discuss what you want to do afterwards"

"I don't know, what do you want to do?"

"How about I help you at the diner, then go home and set up a movie night and then after some time, say 20 minutes you come and join me and we have a movie night"

"Why don't I just come with you right after we close the diner?"

"Trust you I'll have to do something, so just meet me twenty minutes after we close up at my house tomorrow. Ok?"

"Ok, whatever you say"

Rory leaned in for a quick kiss and headed down the stairs.

So, that was the new chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. Anyway, you know what to do now, right. Exactly, just hit the nice looking "go-button" and there you go.
