Can't See Stars During A Tornado

See all the other chapters for everything else.

Disclaimer: You know the drill...

Okay first off... These past couple of weeks have been friggin hell for me. I was going to update on Nov 13 but I completely lost the will to write that day, and week for that matter, because I was miserable. I found out that Eddie Guerrero died on Sunday and I was friggin crying like hell, same with Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. It majorly sucked. I was obsessed beyond belief with him, he was extremely important to me, although I only met him twice. For those of you who don't know about him he was a wrestler, you can check my blog called Eddie Guerrero in my myspace to see how I upset I really was and to hear about him or whatever. I have been writing bits and pieces of new chaps during classes but I haven't gotten a lot done. Between working and school I've pretty much been swamped. Then yesterday and Monday I was taking the PSAT's so... that's about it. SORRY. I know you're all extremely pissed off at me and I don't know what to say except sorry. I wanted to write the past two weeks but just couldn't. That and I've kind of been focusing more on my drawing lately too..

ALSO THIS IS A NEW CHAPTER I DELETED MY AUTHORS NOTE!

Chapter 11: Movie Night

By: CripticWolf

Later that night...

Luke stumbled awkwardly up the stairs of the Gilmore Girls house and onto the front porch. His hands were completely filled with bags of food and snacks and as he got to the door he finally realized that he wouldn't be able to open it. 'Damn.' Luke sighed frustratingly nothing was easy today. He knew the door wasn't locked, cause god forbid them Gilmore Girls would actually care about their safety, but he didn't even want to attempt to open the door knowing that if he tried he would drop everything. "Lorelai!"

He heard her coming and instantly had a smile on his face when she appeared in the doorway. Lorelai also had a grin from ear to ear as she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him passionately almost causing him to drop all the bags.

"Hi." She said and pulled him in the house by his shirt. "Rory look! I found this amazingly cute man on our doorstep! "

"Don't call me cute."

"Fine then," She glared at him then turned back to Rory. "I found this amazingly adorable man on our doorstep." Then she turned back to Luke. "Happy now?" She smiled at him innocently with the pout.

Rory and Luke both rolled their eyes. "Hey Luke."

"Hey Rory." Luke replied as Lorelai continued to pull him through the house toward the kitchen.

Lorelai hopped on the counter as Luke put the bags down on the table then walked over to her and stood between her legs with his arms around her waist. She put her arms around his neck, one hand playing with the curls sticking out from under his baseball-cap, and the other gently massaging his neck. He kissed her and she greatly returned it. "Hi." She said and rested her forehead against his trying to relax her breathing.

"Hi back." He closed his eyes as she tried to relieve some of the tension in his neck and shoulders with her wonderful hands. 'God those hands... I love those hands. I love this woman!'

"God Luke, your really tense." She was a little concerned. "You have to let me give you a real massage one day, soon." She emphasized the last word to him.

He smiled at her and kissed her again. "I'll remember that offer." He said as they broke the kiss.

"Good." Lorelai said back and smiled at him.

He just stared at her for a moment admiring her. "You're beautiful." He stated matter-of-factly and watched as her smile grew. 'I cant believe I let this go for so long. All this time... not anymore, and never again. I'm not going anywhere.'

"Flattery will get you everywhere my friend." She kissed him again with more passion and love. They both kissed for a few more minutes until air was desperately needed. "So..."

"So...?"

"So... I'm starving. What's for dinner burger boy?"

Luke laughed slightly as he let out a large sigh. Rolling his eyes, Luke pulled her off the counter and they intertwined their fingers together. "Come on crazy lady." Luke quickly picked up some bags that he had brought from the diner as Lorelai picked up the ones from Doosey's(spelling?) market that had the junk he bought from the list she gave him earlier this morning, and walked out into the living room.

30 Minutes later...

Luke, Lorelai and Rory were all stretched out in the living room watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 2. Luke had his feet propped up on the table and Lorelai had her legs stretched out on the couch. She was resting against his side between his arm and chest, and his arm was around her shoulders. Luke was absent-mindedly playing with her curls, and wasn't really watching the movie. He was too tired and too distracted to care really so he just watched Lorelai watch the movie, occasionally reaching for a snack out of one of the many bowls on the table, trying to get him to eat some, catching him staring at her and flashing him a shy smile before joining in the movie mocking with Rory. He knew he must have been grinning like and idiot but he didn't really care. He was enjoying this, being with the woman he loved and the person who he has always considered as sort of a daughter to him. He never expected this to happen but god was he happy it finally did.

They were halfway into their second movie when Luke was starting to doze off. His eyes were heavy and it was getting harder to stay awake with every blink. He took another drink of the beer, that Lorelai had given him a few minutes ago, trying to stay awake, although he knew he wasn't going to last long.

Lorelai could tell that he was falling asleep. She knew he had a bad day, and she was pretty tired herself. She wasn't aware just how much at first until she was lying against Luke, mainly because she was so comfortable and relaxed with him. Every time she saw him staring at her she got that fluttery butterfly feeling in her chest and stomach, and all she could do is smile at him. Lorelai snuggled into him more as she played with his hand, her attention on the movie that still had a good 40 minutes left. She chuckled some, 'He's not gonna make it... I probably wont either. Thanks god he's a good pillow.' she thought.

About 20 minutes later Lorelai was about to fall asleep, she was right about Luke too because he fell asleep 10 minutes ago, and the rhythmic pattern of his chests breathing that was gently moving her up and down wasn't helping her chances of staying awake either. Sometime since he fell asleep Lorelai had positioned herself so that she was lying on the couch, her legs were stretched out all the way and her head was on Lukes lap. She was playing with the bottom of his flannel shirt and started thinking about what her life would be like if Luke wasn't in it as she slowly fell asleep.

Rory yawned as the movie ended and turned around to look at Luke and her mother. She smiled when she saw them both sleeping, Lorelai's head on his lap and Luke's hand tangled in her hair resting on her shoulder. They both looked so content and right with each other, so peaceful in each others arms. Rory didn't feel the least bit awkward either, which she was happy about. Luke was like a father to her already, she grew up with him around. With Max and Jason for example, things were awkward especially when it came to them sleeping over but with Luke it just felt... normal. Figuring she should save them both from major aches and pains, that were certain to come tomorrow if they slept on the couch that way, Rory stepped over Luke's legs and gently shook her mother awake. "Mom... Mom wake up."

"Mmmnn. Nooooo." She whined. "What time is it?" Lorelai sat up slowly, cautiously so as not to disturb Luke. She looked at the clock and whined more.

"Mom I'm going to bed. I suggest that you go to yours also with Luke, and don't fall back asleep on the couch." Rory hugged and kissed her mom on the forehead quickly before turning and walking into her room.

Lorelai looked at Luke and smiled, letting out a small chuckle. His hat was halfway falling off his head and his hair was sticking out of it in a funny way. She leaned into him and put her hand on his chest before kissing him awake. When she felt him return it she smiled more and mumbled the word 'bed' into his mouth as she stood up and pulled him with her. After stumbling down the dark hallway and Luke tripping on her clothes that were on the floor about 5 times they made it into her room. She told Luke to strip down to his boxers and undershirt as she went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and change. When she came back Luke was sitting, as told, in his boxers and a white short-sleeve shirt on the edge of the bed rubbing his tired eyes. When he opened them and looked up he came face to face with Lorelai and was startled. She kissed him and said sorry before they both got down under the covers. Lorelai was wrapped up into his arms immediately with her leg swung over his stomach and their legs tangled together. Her hand was on his chest and her eyes were closed as Luke gently and contently rubbed his hand up and down her back. After about five minutes of silence Lorelai whispered quietly. "Luke?"

"Hm?" He asked halfway asleep.

"Tonight... was fun. I had fun." Lorelai said a little bit worried that he didn't feel the same way.

"Me too."

"Really?" She picked her head up to look at his face and was just able to see the outline of it from the small amount of moonlight filtering through her window. 'God he's amazing.'

"Lorelai... I had an excellent time. I'm just tired that's all. It was great and I love spending time with you and Rory." He kissed her and all her doubt went away, at least for that night. She relaxed again and put her head back down welcoming the sleep and anxious to wake up next to Luke in the morning.
