1986
It was time for school yet again. Luke and Lorelai enjoyed their Christmas break together and now it was time for it to end.
"So Lorelai how was your Winter break?" Anna asked as she stopped by Lorelai's locker. "Did you and Luke spend it together?"
"Actually we did Anna."
"Great." Anna replied. "Tell Luke I promised what I said."
"Why the hell don't you leave us alone? Luke's over you and I'm not afraid."
"We'll see about that."
On Friday Luke came by the school at lunch and picked Lorelai up.
"What are you doing here hon?" Lorelai asked when she got to the truck. "Didn't you have to work?"
"Well I did, but now I don't." Luke started the truck. "Get in. I got a surprise for you."
"But I'll be late for class."
"Skip. Come on lets go."
Lorelai threw her bag into the truck then jumped in. As soon as she shut the door Luke drove off towards Hartford.
"Where are we going?" Lorelai asked when Luke drove onto the highway.
"Somewhere special."
"In Hartford?"
"New York."
Lorelai was shocked. "Luke, New York is 4 hours away there is no way we can go."
"We'll stay the weekend."
"But Rory."
"Here call Mia." Luke handed Lorelai his car phone. "See if she'll keep her for the weekend."
"But I have no clothes." Lorelai took the phone.
"I'll buy you some."
"You don't have anything planned out, Luke."
"I always live in the moment."
Finally 4 ½ hours later Lorelai, Luke, and Old Rusty, what Lorelai called Luke's truck, arrived at the hotel.
"So we're in New York, New York?"
"Yea, this is where Liz was born."
"I've never been here."
"You've never been in New York City?"
"Never been anywhere except Hartford until I moved to Stars Hollow."
"You must have lived a sheltered life."
"Not really." Lorelai grabbed her purse and got out of the truck. "I just stayed at home when my parents went anywhere, that's how Rory was born."
"Oh." Luke shut the door. "If we get checked in now we'll have time to go sight seeing."
"I would have never pictured Lucas Danes as a sight seeing man."
"Ah Jeez."
"It's so beautiful." Lorelai said.
They were on the roof of an old apartment building looking out over time square. The breeze was blowing steadily.
"Yes you are." Luke said staring at her.
Lorelai turned to him and smiled.
"You're a sweet talker Danes."
"Yea, I heard that." Lorelai playfully hit him and he caught her arm. He pulled her into him and kissed her hard and deep. She returned the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck while he put his hands on either side of her waist. They stayed that way until air was a necessary need.
"Man, if I knew you kissed like that I would have never let you get away from me."
Luke just laughed and leaned back in to kiss her, but instead Lorelai moved back.
"I'm sorry..." Luke began.
"Shut up and kiss me." Lorelai pushed their lips together in a passionate kiss.
Beep...Beep...Beep...Be..
"Ummmmmm..." Lorelai grunted.
"Sorry, I forgot to turn the alarm off." Luke turned the alarm off.
"Bad alarm, bad bad alarm."
They moved closer together and Lorelai laid her head on Luke's chest.
"What time is it?"
"Early." Luke kissed the top of her head then ran his fingers through her hair.
"I hate early, must kill early." Lorelai grunted. "Ok, I gotta get up."
"Why?"
"Eat, Drive, buy shoes." Lorelai sighed. "Oh my god I can't move, I need coffee."
"I don't have coffee in here it's all downstairs."
"Downstairs, in the lobby?" She said still half asleep.
"Yea."
Lorelai got up as she did she kissed his bare chest. She walked into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. She was wearing Luke's t-shirt and a pair of his gray sweat pants. Her hair was flat and stringy, she had no make up on and she felt like crap.
"Lorelai?" Luke called from the other side of the bathroom door.
"Yea."
"Could I get in?"
"Oh yea, hold on a sec." Lorelai grabbed the brush and quickly brushed through her hair. She opened the door to find a sleepy looking Luke with flannel boxers on. "Don't you look cute."
"Same to you." Lorelai frowned and walked past him. "You are a meany Danes." She plopped down onto the bed.
"Whatever." Luke went in the bathroom and shut the door.
Five minutes later Luke came back out. He laid next to her on the bed.
"Did you sleep well?" Luke ran his finger along her spine.
"Perfect." Lorelai shuddered when she felt his finger along her spine. "You?"
"Great. I had the most beautiful girl next to me."
"You are so sweet." Lorelai turned towards him. Luke then ran his finger along her arm. "Shouldn't we get going?"
"How about we stay here for a little while?" Luke smiled playfully.
"What do you have in mind?"
Luke leaned up and kissed Lorelai. He pulled her down onto the bed and tugged at her shirt.
"Aren't you getting feisty." Lorelai said against his lips.
"That was amazing." Lorelai said as she laid against Luke.
"Better than amazing."
"Fantastic?" Lorelai asked running her fingers along his chest.
"Mmmm, nope I think better."
"What's better than fantastic?"
"Good question." Lorelai laughed which made Luke laugh.
"I can't believe we did that."
"Why can't you?"
"Well I just never expected it."
"Did you enjoy it though?"
"No way." Lorelai laughed. "Yes."
"Good."
On Monday morning Lorelai was all smiles.
"What happened to you?" Sookie asked. "You look really happy."
"I do?" Lorelai replied smiling.
"You look like you just won a million dollars."
"It's better than that."
"Ooo..what is it?"
"Me and Luke, well...you know."
"I know...Oh, I know." Sookie smiled big. "When did it happen?"
"Saturday."
"Oh my god! Oh my god! You and Luke...Oh!" Sookie squealed.
"Ssshhh...Sookie keep it down!"
"Op...sorry." Sookie whispered.
"Lets get to class before we're late."
Little did the two girls know that a certain black headed girl was listening.
"Damn that Lorelai Gilmore." Anna said. "She takes Luke then she sleeps with him." Anna paces around in the bathroom. "What can I do?" Anna stops. "I'll kiss Luke in front of her." Anna smiles. "That'll work."
Luke arrived at the school a little before the bell rang. He got out of his truck and walked inside. He stopped at the office to say hi to the secretary, Maisy, then walked on towards Lorelai's last class.
Ding...Ding...Ding...Ding...
Students hustled out of the classroom. Lorelai was the last one out, she had her nose stuck in a book. Luke stepped in front of her and she ran right into him.
"Hey baby." Luke said.
"Oh hey Luke." Lorelai instantly smiled and perked up.
Luke kissed her. It should have been a quick kiss, but it seemed to last longer. They finally broke apart when Sookie cleared her throat behind them.
"Luke, Lorelai."
"Sookie." Luke said, Lorelai wiped her lips then smiled.
"You know that everyone in the school is talking about you guys now."
"What, why?" Lorelai asked.
"Well some people saw you two making out, and they also know you guys..."
"How the hell did they find out about that?" Luke asked turning to Lorelai.
"I didn't tell them." Lorelai defended.
"Well only me and you know about that."
"And Sookie.."
"Did you tell her Lorelai?"
"Maybe."
"Lorelai."
"Sorry Luke."
"Come on, lets get out of here." Luke grabbed Lorelai's hand and together they ran out the back way leaving Sookie.
"Wait Luke!" Someone called. "Luke it's your old friend, Jackson."
Luke was walking down the street towards Miss Patty's to pick up Rory.
"Jackson." Luke shook his hand. "How you been?"
"Great." Jackson replied. "I have a favor to ask you."
"What is it?"
"Will you and Lorelai go on a double date with me and Sookie?"
A/N: Yea, if you didn't know I took some of this stuff from the show. So it's not mine. See if ya'll know what it is. Ok the next chapter will be about the Double Date, I swear that it wont be called 'Double Date'. Ok tell me how you liked it and I'll get writing. Read and Review. This was probably confusing, but I don't know what I was thinking. Anyways there you go.
