Previously: A few minutes later Rory came over to the where they were siting, cell phone in hand. "Hey babe, who was that?"
"Lane."
Rory explained that Lane was all alone in her house cause Mrs. Kim was visiting family in Korea. She told them what Lane had told her, about all the antique things in her house falling all over the place so Luke offered that she could stay over at his house for the night with the them. When he said that he would go get her and stood up Rory gave him a huge hug and called Lane back to tell her. Lorelai however did not like the idea of him going out into the storm even if Lanes house was only across the townsqare. While he went to change back into his regular flannel and jeans attire Lorelai got off the couch and stood infront of the bathroom door waiting for him to come out.
Luke opened the door and looked up from buttoning his shirt. When he saw Lorelai he jumped back startled. "Geez Lorelai! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" He sighed. "What are you doing anyway?"
"Im coming with you." That was the last thing Lorelai wanted to do but she needed to stall him. Her overactive imagination imagining all the things that could happen to him in the storm.
"What?" Luke said in disbelief.
"You heard me Mr. I'm coming with you." Lorelai said firmly acting out her firmness by stomping her foot on the ground and straighting out.
Luke laughed. "Uh... No your not." He said shaking his head with a smile that said 'your not serious did you really think that I would let you come.'
"Thats not fair!" she pouted.
"Its perfectly fair. Now go drink your poison and i'll be right back." With that said he turned her to the direction of her chair and gently pushed her down into it before heading downstairs.
Luke walked down stairs and out the door of the diner. Once again he found himself staring at the black sky and bent over trees. The wind was unbelievable and he barely was able to keep himself steady. A few times he actually lost his balance and had to grab hold of something to get back up. By the time he made it about 15 feet away from the diner Luke was drenched, but he was relieved when he finally made it to Lanes front porch. Finally able to catch his breath.
Before Luke even got a chance to knock Lane was out to greet him with 2 bookbags; one carrying cds and the other clothes. Luke took the heavier one from her and then they made there way back to the diner, both running as fast as humanly possible and both freezing. Luke skidded to a stop when he saw another one of his windows shatter. "GOD DAMMIT!" He yelled and frustration but at the site of Taylors windows being broken also he smiled slightly. 'Well, thats better.' Luke and Lane started running again and before they knew it they were back in the diner. Both happy to be out of the rain.
"Thanks Luke." Lane said sincerely.
"No problem Lane. But I know something you can do in return for me." Luke remebered his argument with Lorelai before he left for Lanes and that she seemed woried that something mint happen to him so he decided to play a little joke on her.
"Lorelai!" Lane yelled running up the stairs. Lorelai looked terrified when she saw Lane.
"Lane whats wrong! Oh my god is it Luke? What happened? Where is he?" Lane noticed how worried Lorelai was and how it was obvious she cared for Luke alot more then he though.
"Its Luke he got hurt! Hes outside infront of the diner!" Lorelai ran past Lane and down the stairs. When Rory got up to follow Lane quickly told Rory what Luke had her. Rory smiled at the thought of tricking her mother.
"Cruel... yet very interesting." Rory and Lane ran over to the bed imediatly opening the bookbag full of CD's while Lorelai ran down the stairs.
The entire time Luke was downstairs he was fighting to not laugh to hard. He heard it all. When he heard Lorelais footsteps on the stairs getting closer he moved to the side of the door just out of view of her.
"Luke! I'm coming! Don't worry!" Lorelai yelled running down the stairs. But when she reached the bottom she never would have expected what happened.
Luke jumped out infront of her. "AAAAHHHHHH!" She screamed and fell on her but on the stairs. Luke broke out in laughter. It was almost made it to hard for him to stand cause he was laughing so hard. "Luke you JERK! That was so not funny!" She got up and punched him in the arm.
"I'm sorry. I - just - couldnt resist." he said inbetween laughs. Lorelai turned around and ran upstairs making him feel bad but she was just pretending to be really pissed at him. "Ah... Lorelai come on. I was just playing with you." He yelled back up the stairs to her before ansending them himself. When he got up stairs he saw her sitting in a chair pouting pretending to be mad at him. He felt bad and she noticed that. "Come on. I was only kidding." He told her over and over but she wouldnt make eye contact with him. 'Okay then... time to bring out the big guns.' Luke walked over to the coffe pot and walked it over to her. He waved it infront of her face and she opened her eyes when the great smell of her elixer of life was gone. Lorelai turned to see him heading for the sink.
"This is the last of my last bag of coffee till I get a new shipment, 3 days from now." He informed her tipping the pot to make some spill in the sink. Her eyes widened. "That won't work. Luke Danes I am very mad at you." A smile played on his lips. He knew she'd give in. Rory and Lane did also, they were whispering and laughing together. As Luke got to the last of it almost, there was about enough for one more cup, Lorelai jumped up and ran over to him saving the coffee.
"Your so evil." She said to him but he just laughed when he saw her smile.
"Are they flirting?" Lane asked Rory to be sure that she wasnt imagining things.
"Looks like." Rory replied with a smile then went back to looking at CD's very happy about the way things were going tonight so far.
