Disclaimer: Heck No! Too Bad Though!
A/N: Whenever I get done with this chapter and the next, it will be time for the wedding. I'm going to be taking a little while on that one. So get ready for the delay. Also, I'm going to try to finish this whole story by next Tuesday (The Finale Of Gilmore Girls 6th Season)!
On Thursday evening, Lorelai and Luke flew into the Hartford Airport. They had left Rory and the twins with their grandparents.
"That seemed like a really long flight." Luke said as he threw the suitcases into the back of the truck.
"Well, you were awake for the whole trip."
"What does that have to do with it?"
"Last time you were asleep, and when you woke up we were in Martha's Vineyard."
"Get in and shut up." Luke said opening the door for Lorelai and letting her get in. He shut it and went around to the driver's side and climbed in.
"Let's go home." Lorelai said smiling at Luke.
"Home again, home again." Luke replied pulling out of the parking lot.
"Okay now for your wedding cake you want what color?" Sookie asked pulling out a pad and paper.
"Well, preferably white, with red and blue."
The two were sitting in Westons''' eating pie.
"Okay, what would you like for the main course choices?"
"Chicken and fish."
"And how about chocolate covered strawberries?"
"For?"
"For the wedding?"
"Sure." Lorelai said forking pie into her mouth.
"Okay, I think that's all I need." Sookie said closing the pad and looking up. "Are you excited?"
"What about?"
"The wedding. Are you excited, nervous, deathly sick to your stomach?"
"All of the above." Lorelai said smiling.
"Only 2 weeks away." Sookie replied staring off into space.
"2 wonderful, amazing, perfect two weeks."
"One fine day." Lorelai sung. "You're going to want me for your girl. Though I know you're the kind of boy, who only wants to run around, I'll keep waiting and someday darling you'll come to me when you want to settle down. One fine..."
"What are you singing honey?" Miss Patty asked from behind Lorelai. She had a lime in her hand.
"Oh nothing Miss Patty." They were inside Doose's. Lorelai was getting groceries.
"You want to know something?"
"What?"
"Limes are like sex."
"Really?" Lorelai said smiling uncomfortably.
"Yes, when you..."
"Hi Miss Patty."
"Lucas Danes!" Miss Patty squealed turning from Lorelai to Luke. "Oh you handsome, handsome boy!" Miss Patty said as she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. "Oh, I better let you go. Lorelai might get mad, 'cause I'm squeezing up on her guy."
"It's fine Miss Patty." Lorelai said smiling at Luke. Luke just gave her the desperate 'HELP ME' look.
"Well I'll get out of your hair." Miss Patty said starting to walk off. "By the way, I'm looking forward to the wedding." With that Miss Patty left.
"Did you enjoy that?" Luke asked grabbing Lorelai's hand and dragging her to the back of the store where no one goes.
"I defiantly di..." Lorelai was cut off by Luke's lips. They were warm. "Lord." Lorelai mumbled against his lips.
"You taste good." Luke mumbled back.
"We're acting like teenagers." Lorelai said as Luke let his lips travel down her neck to her collar bone.
"Technically you are a teenager." Luke mumbled breaking contact.
"I'm 19." Lorelai replied pushing him back with her hands. She still let him hold her around the waist.
"A teenager."
"I'm grown up for my age."
"Yes, you are."
"I have 3 kids."
"Right."
"And a fiancé."
"Exactly."
"So I'm not a normal, stupid teenager."
"I know your not."
"Thank you."
"Now can we get back to what we were just doing?"
"Please continue." Lorelai said as Luke moved his lips to her neck.
"I'm hungry."
"Aren't you always?" Luke asked as Lorelai came into the kitchen.
"Not always."
"It sure seems that way."
"Chocolate covered strawberries."
"What?" Luke asked turning from the stove.
"That's what I want." Lorelai said searching the fridge. "When Sookie mentioned it the other day it hit me that's what I was missing in my long life."
"You do know it's fruit right?" Luke asked turning off the burner and pushing the chicken onto a plate.
"With chocolate coating."
"Chocolate will kill you."
"So will carrots, but you still eat those."
"Whatever."
"You want to know something I just realized?"
"The sky was blue."
"Rude!" Lorelai said hitting his arm. "We're like chocolate covered strawberries."
"What?" Luke said clearly confused.
"I mean, you love strawberries."
"They are healthy."
"And I love chocolate."
"It'll kill you."
"And the two put together makes a perfect treat."
"And?"
"That means, me and you make a perfect couple."
"So we're like chocolate strawberries?"
"We are chocolate covered strawberries."
