Disclaimer: If only I owned Luke…not mine, get a freakin' grip.

Luke opened his mouth to reply to the statement she had just boldly made, but Luke was a man of few words, and now that attribute wasn't helping him. 'Mainly you, what the hell does that mean? Ok, she's looking at you funny, just say something, anything.'

"What about me?" He asks, sounding a hell of a lot more confident than he felt.

"Well about how our little incident could have turned out had I been a little more rational, whether or not you were ever gonna forgive me because I really, really missed you-"

"Are you sure you weren't just missing the coffee?" He interrupted, grabbing a rag and beginning to wipe down the counter.

"No Luke, I missed the coffee, I missed the company more. With Sookie planning her wedding and Rory in Washington, I really missed you. Next to Rory you're my best friend, I was afraid that Rory and I would never be able to come here again. The whole time I was lying on that pier I was thinking about how our fight could have gone, what I should've said to you. I'm really sorry about that Luke."

"I know you are, I read your letter."

"Then why the hell didn't you forgive me?" She asked, setting down her foot and catching his gaze.

"I don't know," He admitted. "Probably because I was afraid of what you would say to me. I mean I went two weeks without even listening to you. I figured you were pissed at me for not talking to you."

"Well you were right." She admitted. "But I don't like it when we fight, especially for this long, it feels….I don't know…lonely."

"I know what you mean." He replied, hiding a slight smile.

"You do?"

"Yeah, I mean everything you said before I felt too. I missed you Lorelai, you're the only sane person in town that I actually enjoy talking to. Everyone else should be committed, not that you're not your own kind of crazy, but Lord God the way the whole town was getting in the middle of it, asking questions, demanding details, I wanted to ring their necks. And then when you didn't show tonight I felt guilty because to tell you the truth I love it when you come in here and drag me off to the damn carnival. I mean I know I act like I don't but you know-"

While Luke had been ranting Lorelai had felt her stomach once again turning somersaults at the sincerity of his words. She looked shyly down to her feet and flashbacks began playing of all the times she had felt this way. Her stomach was turning, her head was spinning, her heart was melting, how the hell can you feel like all that at once. And to make matters worse, no one had ever emitted such emotions from her. So she did the only thing that she could think to do.

Luke ranting was cut short as Lorelai quickly leaned over the counter and brushed her lips to his. The kiss was hesitant, a mere brush of lips, but enough to shut Luke up if only for a moment. "Lorelai?" He asked, questioning her behavior and cursing himself internally for doing so.

"Shh…" Lorelai smiled, before closing her eyes and leaning back in to again brush her lips to his in an almost challenge.

"Lorelai." He growled, reaching his arms behind her back to pull her closer to him, allowing himself to delve into her mouth. Lorelai found herself crawling across the counter, somehow managing to leave her lips locked with his and soon found Luke standing between her parted legs. His hands moved from her waist to her face where he stroked her cheeks with his thumbs. Lorelai sighed at the his soft touch and found her hands roaming through his silky hair, his hat forgotten somewhere on the floor. Luke moaned at the sensation of her long fingers running through his scalp and his tongue immediately found her lips, begging for the entrance she instantly granted him.

When oxygen became necessary they mutually pulled apart, panting from their exercise. As Luke opened his eyes he found himself staring into her icy blue eyes, a satisfied smile stretched across her face.

"What was that?" He asked, rubbing his hands up and down her thighs.

"I dunno, but I liked it."

"Ditto. I think that they liked it as well." Luke sighed, his smile to her surprise seeming to grow larger at the sight of the townspeople bunched together at his windows. Lorelai turned and began to giggle at the sight, Miss Patty and Babette had Kirk squished flat against his window, and as Lorelai waved they began to let out cries of excitement. Lorelai placed her head on his shoulder and laughed as Luke glared at the townies outside. Luke took Lorelai's hand in his. "What do you say I walk you home?"

"But…"

"We'll go out the back." He answered.

"Sounds good to me." She replied, taking his outstretched hand and walking towards the door.

A/N: What do you think? Review please, tell me if I should go on… I'm thinking of ending it there…maybe : P
