Chapter 3: Thoughts and Small-Talk
Lorelai let out a playful gasp, as if offended by his klutz statement. "I am not a klutz. Thanks though Luke." "No problem."
Rory was looking at the glass all over the floor and the window. She also noticed that there were little blood spots all over the floor. "Hey Luke? Are you hur…" She didn't get a chance to finish her question cause her mom did it for her.
"Oh my god! Luke! What the hell happened to you hand!" Loralie said, her voice filled with concern until she realized that his bloody hand was the one that had caught her hand to stop her from falling and that she was still holding it. "Ewww!" She pulled her hand out of Lukes bloody one wiping it on a bunch of napkins from the dispenser on the counter.
"Geez Lorelai, its only blood. Besides would you have rather me let you drop?" He grunted pulling their bag up over his shoulder and walking up the stairs with them on his heals.
"Well no, and I appreciate It but that's gross."
Luke put the bag down on the bed. "Uh…" He looked around then threw a few of his shirts off of his bed. His place was a real mess. 'It figures that they would come over one of the few times that my place is trashed.' He sighed that was just his luck. "You guys can take the bed I'll sleep on the couch. Sorry about the mess."
"Its no problem Luke, you should see moms room. Ow!" Lorelai punched Rory in the arm to get her to shut up.
Rory and Lorelai tried to argue with him and tell him to take the bed but he just ignore them and went back down stairs to complete his original task of getting something to dress the cut on his hand with.
When he got back upstairs Rory and Lorelai were in their PJ's already glued to his TV. As they clicked through the channels they caught the news and stopped to listen to what was happening.
Newsman: Severe Tornado warnings have gone out for the following areas… Middletown, Waterbury, Wethersfield, Manchester, Newhaven, Wallingford, and Hartford. All counties and towns located in proximity to those areas should undergo the proper Tornado safety procedures to ensure your safety. Take shelter in storm cellars, basements, or any sturdy building. Stay away from windows…" Luke laughed in a partly pissed voice and shook his head thinking of the stick that plowed into the diner window. "Stay away from electrical outlets. Also be mindful of loose objects, there is a chance that they may fall. Stay inside at all times and do not attempt to drive anywhere."
Lorelai looked behind her and saw Luke looking at her with a crooked grin. "Oh shut up! Aren't you the least bit happy that we're hear?" She pouted playfully pretending to be hurt. Just as he was about to answer Luke was interrupted by the sound of the coffee pot whistling and steaming in the kitchen. Her eyes lit up and her playful pout turned into a happy grin that matched Rory's. Luke got up and turned his back to them to get the coffee.
"Thank you O' great backwards baseball cap, flannel wearing coffee god." Lorelai always teased him when she had the chance but it never bothered him to an angry point. She took a big gulp of the hot coffee causing Luke to stare at her like she was insane. He walked over to Rory and gave her a cup. She took a gulp that looked bigger then the one her mother had.
"You guys have got to be aliens. No normal people could or would think of taking that big a drink of boiling hot coffee. Come to think of it, no one would ever drink as much coffee as you two anyway."
"Yup were freaks of nature." Rory said taking another sip then fiddling with her cell phone.
"Yes, starving freaks of nature." Luke went to go get up from the table where he was wrapping his hand but Lorelai pushed him back into his chair. "I'll look Luke. Just fix your hand that's gross and your all soggy go change." Luke smiled crookedly on the side of his face opposite of Lorelai, which Rory took into notice.
'Maybe today will be the day they finally notice how they feel. God, that would be great. Lukes already more of a father to me then my dad has ever been. I wish that mom would realize that Luke loves her and that she loves him. Then she'll never have to be in pain from a broken heart again. He would never do that to her.' Rory smiled happily at the thought of him and her mom together.
Lorelai found some bags of chips and her and Rory sat on Luke's bed joking and laughing while he went to change into dryer clothes.
'This is nice. I like having them here. I just wish that it would be permanent. God, I love Lorelai and Rory so much. But Lorelai would never want me. She's meant to be with one of those guys like Max or that Jason guy. Besides her parents would never approve. I hate watching her get her heart broken over and over again by idiots. She doesn't deserve that and neither does Rory. Why would anyone not want to be apart of his own kids' life, especially with Rory as the kid? Then again, why would anyone not want Lorelai? She's… perfect.'
"This is nice. Hanging here with Luke. It's a lot better then sitting at home." Lorelai blurted out. It was meant more as a though but she accidentally spoke it out loud.
"Ye…" She was interrupted by her cell phone ringing. Rory jumped off the bed and walked over to the far corner of the room.
Luke was just coming out of the bathroom in a pair of black sweat pants and a black long sleeve shirt rolled up at the elbows. His voice startled Lorelai who was looking at a magazine lost deep in though. Surprisingly her thoughts were actually about Luke.
'I wonder if he minds having us here. I owe him so much for all these years of helping me out. He's always here for me when I need him, when Rory needs him, maybe the town is right; maybe there is something there... I dought it though... Luke wouldn't like someone like me. He likes women like Rachel. I've always wondered why she would just leave Luke. I thought that they were in love. They looked so settled together. I can't imagine why anyone would want to leave Luke. He's… perfect.'
"Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you." He said sincerely, walking past her and fell onto the couch in a tired crash. The diner was packed today and he was running all over and now the day was finally catching up to him. Lorelai got up from the bed and sat down by Luke. "Rough day?"
"No, just a busy day. That and the fact that I had to throw Taylor out about eight times. Yours?"
"Actually… mine was great. Today Michel had to chase the chickens that we just got all around the inn. It was hilarious; he came inside yelling about his suit, which was completely covered in dirt and mud. I swear Sookie and me were laughing for hours." She started to laugh again as the site of Micheall covered in mud popped into her head.
Another huge crack of thunder hit and Lorelai instinctively grabbed onto Lukes hand. He didn't mind he never did, her skin was always soft and he loved the feel. Just having her around made him happier. That's why he always got less grumpier when she came to the diner. After it was over she realized she was still holding his hand and pulled it away slightly embarrassed.
A few minutes later Rory came over to the where they were siting, cell phone in hand. "Hey babe, who was that?"
"Lane."
The End of Chapter 3
Thanks for reading so far. I have no idea if I spelt Micheall right. This chapter ended up longer then was originally intended. If you think that the storyline is going to slow then please tell me cause I can speed it up. Lane will be in the next chapter. I don't really have her character nailed yet. Okay well tell me if you like it cause I'm done ranting
