So it's done. Over. Finished. FIN.
Now, I am HOPING to revise it. And maybe even add a super-secret lost chapter… because well…
I heard a good song the other day and it'd fit plus I wrote it and can do whatever I want. ;)
Thanks for reading my first attempt and all your reviews.
I probably won't put any revised edition on here but on BWR because it'd just be easier so… keep an eye out for it (later) this spring.
Collide
The
dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely
waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah
Rays
of sunshine were now streaming in from the window; Luke could feel
the heat of them on his back. Stirring slightly, he could not shake
the confused haze in his brain.
The place felt familiar, but not.
Struggling, he tried to move but couldn't, when that didn't work
he tried to open his eyes and found them unwilling to cooperate.
Defeated he lay there for a short time longer and tried again. This time his eyes opened to the bright morning-lit room. He still could not move this was not because of his own body's rejection of the idea but because of the woman whose body was intertwined with his own. Lorelai lay mostly on top of him and their legs and arms were so mixed up it was hard to tell where she ended and he began.
Gently he removed one of his arms from her and slowly began to stroke the exposed skin of her back. They were covered only by a thin sheet that began at the foot of the bed and ended at the small of her back. Her hair was a mess, spread out across his chest. He breathed deeply and the sweet smell of her shampoo greeted his senses. He was struck then by a memory of long ago when they first began and had spent a lazy Sunday like today getting better acquainted with each others bodies.
He felt her take a deep breath and sigh as he ran his hand along her side causing goose bumps to form from the sensation.
"Morning" He said lethargically. She took her free arm and pushes back her hair to look at him, her chin resting on his chest.
"Morning back." She smiled then and kissed his chin, slowly her lips traveled up to his earlobe and began to suck and softly bite. He groaned as she detangled their legs and straddled him.
I'm
open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
She had woken before him as the sun was rising and the light hit her eyes. She had looked at him, sleeping peacefully with his arms around her and felt for the first time in a long time completely and utterly safe. She lifted her head to see the clock behind him and deciding it was much to early for them to be awake, closed her eyes; sleep would not come to her again as she wondered what last night had really meant and what would happen when he woke up.
The quick change in his breathing signaled to her that he was awake. Momentarily her body froze but then relaxed when he brought his hand to her back, caressing her. When his hand slipped to her side her body reacted and after their brief words she looked at him and decided that she was not ready for this to be over, if he regretted this once fully aware of the situation she wanted to take every last bit of him she could.
Once they were connected together she began to push herself up and down on him. Her eyes closed tight at the glorious feeling spreading throughout her and then quickly sprang open to feed her need of seeing him. She needed to see him, to know this was real. Her hands were on his chest, helping to steady her. As much as she was enjoying the moment she soon tired from the exertion and felt his hands on her hips as he sat up with her still in his lap and lifted her body in a steady rhythm counter to his own powerful upward thrusts. She wrapped her arms around his neck and moaned loudly at the tightness growing inside her. A few moments longer and she could hold back no longer, with a loud moan and a gasp of his name she came and shuddered around him. The feeling sent him over the edge and with two more pushes upward he let himself go, chanting her name and kissing her shoulder.
I
worry I won't see your face
Light up again
Later that morning she awoke again to find him missing from the bed. Her heart began to beat wildly as it dropped to her stomach and tears threatened to spill. He was gone. She knew it had been too good. He still had not forgiven her and once he had been able to think straight this morning he had fled from her. Choking back a sob she brought a hand to her head and began to shake.
That is when she heard it. A clang.
Jumping up she reached for her robe and once it was secure she opened the bedroom door. From the hallway her nose was assaulted with the smells of brewing coffee and sizzling bacon. She smiled and wiped away the few tears that had escaped her attempts to hold them back.
She practically ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. There he was, like so many times before, standing over stove doing what he does best well, second best she thought with a carnal gleam in her eye.
He looked up at her and smiled.
"Coffee's ready, food should be done soon."
Silently she grabbed a favorite mug from the cupboard and poured herself a cup of the deliciously warm black liquid. She sat at the table facing him. He finished cooking and brought two plates over; sitting down next to her they ate in a comfortable silence. Every few moments they would look up from the table and smile at each other. Luke's was a near grin and Lorelai's was one that seemed to be locking up a laugh inside her.
Even the best fall down
sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt
that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide
After breakfast, they had retreated back up to the bedroom and sat close to one another as the real work began.
Each reassured the other that last night was wanted, needed and that there was no way to forget it or move backwards.
They promised each other that now things would only, could only move forward.
Their
were tears and some harsh words as more grievances from the past were
brought up but for hours they talked, truly talked and worked out
what should have
been fixed many years before.
Both were sad and ashamed at the time wasted but knew that they couldn't dwell on that now.
Neither could live with out the other and they knew it.
By the end of the conversation they knew where they stood and proceeded to get past the failures of their relationship by practicing the successes of it in the shower.
Once sated, cleaned, and dressed they went downstairs just in time to hear the closing of a car door followed by the rambunctious sounds of their son racing up the porch steps.
I'm
quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm
scared to know I'm always on your mind
Once
her parents had left and Jude's stories of his weekend away were
finished they sat the little boy down and to they could explained to
him that they were now going
to be a family and that Luke would be
coming to live with them.
The little boy had had many questions and they answered them in a way easiest for him to understand.
What
he had gotten from the conversation was that they loved each other
and just because in the past they both messed up didn't mean they
stopped loving each other and
that now they were going to try their
hardest to be together. They made no promises of happily ever after
to him and made the situation as realistic as possible to the five
year old boy.
He sat there when they were finished for a moment and thought. They looked at him expectantly, hoping he would take the news of their reconciliation well.
He smiled at them and nodded his head.
"It's okay, you can live here Daddy. Is my tree house done yet?"
They laughed at him and Luke shook his head yes and chased after his son as he raced out to look.
Even the best fall
down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back
you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide
Don't
stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind
It
was a cool New England spring morning. Lorelai was enjoying a much
needed morning off and doing some chores around the house. She was
putting the last of the
clothes into the dryer when she heard soft
thuds coming from the living room.
"Mommy, mommy. I'm going fishing today!" came the loud voice of her six-year-old son.
"I know," she replied walking into the kitchen "how many are you going to catch today?"
"uhm… TEN!"
"TEN? Ten WHOLE fish? You must be a really great fisherman."
"I am. I gotta go mommy, we have to leave, early bird gets the worm you know."
"Oh I do know." She bent down and ruffled his hair placing a kiss on his cheek. He scrunched up his face in mock disgust and turn to run out the door.
"Hey," came Luke's voice from the archway.
"Hey, you better hurry up or he might leave with out you." She smiled at him and he pulled her to him for a kiss and a hug.
"Nah, haven't gotten to the subtle intricacies of driving a stick shift yet, saving that for next weekend."
"Well, have fun with you manly bonding and worm squishing and what not."
"Oh we will, and that better be your last cup of coffee for the day." He said, pointing to the mug on the table.
"Uh, no way mister. It's my lifeline."
"It'll have two heads." He replied in faux gruffness.
"The previous two did not receive some sort of circus worthy freak feature from my coffee intake, what makes you think this one will?"
"Whatever, Crazy Lady." He kissed her again quickly and then brought his hand to her slightly protruding belly as he bent down.
"See you later baby, I love you, don't grow any extra body parts." He then turned to leave.
"HEY! What about me."
"What, you know I love you Mrs. Danes."
"I know, it's just nice to hear it." She winked at him and waved goodbye as he shook his head and left.
She looked out the window and watched as they gathered their things and got in the beaten green truck and drove away.
She smiled and placed her hand on her stomach.
A warm feeling of pure happiness and content rushed through her as she realized that she finally got what she always wanted.
A home.
You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You
and I collide
YEAH I'm such a cheese ball.
