Chapter 13: Why Are We Up So Early?

By CripticWolf

"Luke, Luuke...Oooh Luuukey. Wake up." Lorelai whispered in his visible ear, the rest of his face in his pillow. She slowly ran her fingers up and down his back with a smile, and couldn't help the wicked grin that took over her face when she got close to one of his ticklish spot. "Come on Luke wake up." He continued to snore lightly and didn't even move causing Lorelai to pout. She just sat there and stared at him, then started poking him repeatedly. After about a minute she finally got a response.

"Lorelai stop it." Luke groaned into his pillow still half asleep. She smiled again and continued poking him in the side.

"Lorelai... Knock it off, will ya?" He mumbled irritated as he rolled over so his back was facing her and shoved his head under his pillow.

"Um... let me think...hmmm...nope." She bounced a little on the bed sitting Indian style with a smile on her face, still poking him only in his back this time. "Come on you bum. Wakey wakey."

Luke picked his head up from under his pillow to look at the clock. 3:00am! "Lorelai why the hell are you awake this early?" His turned from irritation to concern. "You feeling okay?"

Lorelai couldn't help but smile about how much he cared about her even when there was no need to. She smiled at him. "Of course silly. Why is it so hard to believe that I'm simply awake to enjoy the early morning, huh?" Luke just rolled his eyes. "Okay well now that your awake we can go." She stood up and dragged him out of the bed with her.

"Go where?" Luke questioned wiping his eyes in an attempt to wake up the rest of the way. He vaguely remembered hearing Lorelai say, "be careful" as she dragged him down the stairs and into the pitch-black living room. She let go of his arm and stopped dragging him along as she went to find a light or candle to turn on. Luke felt his way around the living room until he made it to the couch and he plopped down on it and lay on his back. He was just about asleep again when Lorelai came back out with a lit candle in her hand, sighed, rolled her eyes, then grabbed him by his shirt, dragging him up again. She knew that, had he been awake and aware that she wouldn't be able to make him budge let alone let her pull him around without some serious persuasion (dirty) and to make things just a little bit worse the candle wasn't lighting the room very well at all. She would have just flicked the light switch but remembered how the bulb blew out the other day, she hadn't gotten a chance to fix it and didn't tell Luke about it yet either because she had just been so busy lately. Since it was the holiday season the tourists were all packing into Stars Hollow to visit and pass through which made the Dragonfly extremely busy, not to mention the diner as well which, as a result had made it hard for Luke and Lorelai to share much time alone together lately.

Lorelai wasn't really paying alot attention to where she was going or more like pulling Luke as she walked toward the front door of her house. She hadn't stumbled once on anything that was on the floor; just figuring that it had to be because of experience from all the times her and Rory had left the house a disaster area. She was startled out of her thoughts when she heard the sound of glass breaking and Luke cursing. "Ow! Damn! What the hell-?" Luke mumbled from on the ground. Lorelai spun around and bent down beside him to see if he was all right, an apologetic smile on her face. "Damn tree." He said as Lorelai helped him up the best she could.

"Oh my god Luke I'm sorry. I totally forgot about the tree." She was trying her hardest not to laugh. He just glared at her. As Luke brushed himself off Lorelai took a quick glance out the window then immediately began dragging Luke toward the door again against his protests.

"Lorelai what the heck are you do- HOLY CRAP it's freezing outside! Are you crazy!... Wait, never mind don't answer that." She pushed Luke out the door then quickly grabbed his shoes and jacket along with her own and threw them out the door at him.

They both walked down to the end of the driveway, Luke grumbling to whole time, while Lorelai looked just like a giddy little kid full of excitement. Despite his current crankiness Luke couldn't help but smile at her. 'What is it with this woman that always makes me smile?' he thought. "What's with you anyway? Its freezing out, and the middle of the night, more like morning but whatever, soooo... why again are we out here?"

Lorelai just smiled and walked over to him. She leaned against his chest, sliding her hands and arms inside his jacket and around his stomach. She rested her head against his shoulder as he pulled her to him. After a few minutes he picked her chin up to look at him. "Lorelai," he whispered "its cold out. What are we doing outside?" She simply looked him in the eye and offered a soft smile. "Shh." Was all she said as she leaned up to kiss him. They kissed until Lorelai pulled away and looked up. "It's snowing."

"Yup looks that way. Can we please go inside now?" Luke let out a sigh of relief when Lorelai started pulling him into the house. When they got into the house Lorelai shrieked playfully as Luke scooped her up in his arms after shrugging off his jacket and kicking off his shoes and hurried upstairs with her, where he deposited her onto the bed and laid down on top. He kissed her deeply and when he pulled away they had both gotten very warm. "I love you crazy lady." Luke informed her again.

"I love you two burger boy." She smiled and kissed him again. This time when Luke pulled away he rolled over onto his back on his side of the bed and pulled Lorelai tightly into this arms; soon they were both asleep.

TBC as soon as I can get a chance...
