Afternoon delight by Gordon Lightfoot

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been 'when it's right, it's right'
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
A little afternoon delight
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Please be waiting for me, baby, when I come around
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down

"This is mainstream and Lane will kill me but…" Lorelai started playing with the little hairs on his chest. They were in her bed and she was talking...well no babbling.

"Mainstream?" Luke asked.

"Music." She said.

"Ok so you were about to describe me in a song." He said.

"Dirty little secret." She said giggling. "By the all American rejects." She said sighing. "Yes mainstream…don't tell Lane." She said giving him a little kiss.

"Never." He said.

"You've never heard that song have you?" She asked.

"Nope." He replied playing with her hair.

"Thought so." She said rolling on top of him.

He arched an eyebrow. "Again?" He asked. She just giggled.

8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

"Let's kill everybody who approaches me." Lorelai said sitting down at a stool banging her head on the counter.

"Don't do that it's unsanitary." He said. "Long night?" He asked.

"You'd know." She muttered.

He blushed and rolled his eyes. He poured her coffee and she drank it. "My savior." She said smiling. He shrugged and got her some pancakes.

"Hi Lorelai." Rachelle said.

Lorelai grunts. "Don't listen to her she just didn't get sleep last night." He said.

Lorelai picked her head up and arched an eyebrow up at him. "Ha, sleep….that concept is so last year…" Sex is the new sleep. "Plus I got some extra things done last night so the lack of sleep was worth it." She said trying hard not to giggle.

"Coffee." He said handing it to her.

A bribe so I don't talk about our sex life to his ex girlfriend…this is hilarious. She drank it. "I have no coffee in my house." She said sighing. "Rory drank it all." She said. "I might have helped though." She said giggling.

Luke rolled his eyes at her and smiled softly. He poured her a cup and she smiled gratefully.

Rachelle watched this exchange in envy. They weren't touching but the way he looked at her and the way she looked at him they might as well have been having sex on the counter.

"Inn. Sookie. Michel." She said groaning. "Michel is going to Celin Dion." She said laughing a bit. Luke smiled at her just enjoying her happiness. "He better work his ass off today." She said giggling.

"Because what would be a day without him working hard, right?" Luke asked rolling his eyes.

"Exactly. I often wonder why we didn't fire him when the inn burned down." She said frowning. "Sookie said because without the Dragonfly it wouldn't be the same." She shrugged, "I guess she was right." She said drinking her coffee.

"Rory left her book here do you have it?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah." He said. "Come on up I'll get it." He said leading the way upstairs.

Yeah, secret girlfriend right there. I wonder what they would say if I walked in. That would be funny and really, really, uncomfortable. Maybe I shouldn't. It would be funny.

They come back downstairs, Lorelai with a huge smile on her face and Luke trying to suppress his.

"I got to go to the inn." Lorelai said draining what was left of her cold coffee. "To go?" She asked pouting. He sighed and poured her a cup. "Angel." She said smiling. "Bye Rachelle." She said trying to smile at her but you can't just smile at your boy friends ex girlfriend.

"So you and Lorelai close?" Rachelle asked.

"Best friends." He said wiping the counter.

"You two going out?" She asked nonchalantly.

"Not now." He said sighing looking around at the diner through tired eyes.

"Ok." She said quietly drinking her coffee.

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

"She asked if you and I were going out." He said talking to Lorelai through the diner phone in the storage room.

"So, tell her." She said shrugging on her phone cleaning up the library.

"Is that ok?" He asked.

"Sure." She said. "You can tell your ex girlfriend you have a girlfriend…unless you want her to try something then…oh my God…you want her to try something." She said pouting.

"Lorelai." He said in that tone.

Lorelai giggled. "You can tell her." She said rolling her eyes going into the living room to clean up there.

"Just checking." He said smiling.

"The lunch rush starts soon." Lorelai said looking at her watch. "You better get to them." She said fluffing some pillows.

"Ok, I'll see you tonight." He said.

"Bring food and-"

"Coffee." He cut in rolling his eyes. "Sure." He said going into the diner to hang up.

"Bye." She said smiling shutting her phone off.

Don't need to know who that was. Sookie thought walking over to Lorelai. "Hey sweetie." She said smiling.

"Hey." Lorelai said smiling. "What's up?" She asked.

"Nothing really." Sookie said shrugging. "Wanted to let you know I have fresh baked cookies." Sookie said.

Lorelai squealed and ran into the kitchen. Sookie giggled and followed her. When she got into the kitchen she found Lorelai eating a cookie. "Amazing!" Lorelai said. "And hot." She said breathing in air into her mouth.

"Should have warned you." Sookie said apologetically.

Lorelai shrugged. "They're great though." She said taking another bite.

Michelle came in and took a cookie. "One because I am on a diet." He said walking away.

"He's snarky." Sookie commented.

"He's sarcastic." Lorelai added. "He's snarkastic!" Lorelai quipped.

Sookie giggled and Lorelai took another cookie. "I need some bribery for Michelle!" Lorelai said walking away.

88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

"What are we watching again?" He asked playing with Lorelai's hair.

"I can't remember." She admitted smiling. "You smell too good." She said laying on him watching the screen. He chuckled and she felt the vibrations. "That tickled." She giggled. There was a knock on the door and Lorelai groaned. "Nope. Ignore it." She said heaving a sigh. There was another knock and Luke picked her up and placed her laying down on the couch.

"I'll get it." He said rolling his eyes.

"You're breaking the rules!" She screamed while he opened the door.

"Mrs. Gilmore." Luke said dumbly.

"Luke who is it? If it's Taylor I swear I will bop him on the head. Or Kirk." Lorelai shouted. This was met by silence. "Who was so important that you had to break you rules?" She asked walking up to Luke.

"Mom." Lorelai said.

"Lorelai. Luke." She said. "Did I interrupt anything?" She asked smugly walking in.

"A movie." Lorelai said shrugging shutting the door.

Emily walked into the living room and scoffed at all the food. She spots a salad and raises her eyebrows. "A salad?" She asked.

"For Luke." Lorelai explained. "The rest is mine. He hates junk food." She said shrugging.

"I'm going to go…" He said.

"But the movie." She pouted.

"We can finish it later." He said.

Lorelai sighed. "Fine but I might have a hot date when you try and reschedule then you'll be sorry." She said giggling a bit.

"Good night Lorelai." Luke said walking to the door.

Lorelai rolled her eyes and mumbled something else about a hot date. She looked at the floor and picked up his hat. "Luke, wait!" She said walking to the door. "Your hat." She said smiling.

Emily followed her to the door and hid herself behind the wall.

"I never got a proper goodbye." She whispered pouting. He rolled his eyes and gave her a kiss.

Emily's eyes widened in surprise. I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!

"Now that's not a proper goodbye." Lorelai said pouting.

"Sorry I don't usually like to kiss my girlfriend after she mentions having a hot date with somebody else." He said shrugging.

She rolled her eyes and placed the cap on this head. "Perfect." She said smiling.

"Juts like you." He said looking into her eyes.

Lorelai blushed and gave him a light kiss. "Bye." She said turning on her heels. Emily rushed back into the living room and tried to forget what she saw. Lorelai walked into the living room and shut her TV off. "So…" Lorelai prodded trying to get to the reason why she was there.

"Did I interrupt anything?" She asked again a smirk on her face.

"Just watching a movie." Lorelai said shrugging picking up some of the mess she made.

"A movie?" She asked eyeing the rumpled clothes and the messy hair Lorelai had.

"Yeah." She said taking it out. She got a post it out and put: Give back to Kirk, on it.

"Ok." Emily said sighing, she didn't want to push her daughter away.

"So…" Lorelai asked once again. She wanted to know why Emily came here and ruined a night with Luke.

"Your father and I are…" She tried to think of a word to fill in the blank. "Separated." She said.

"Separated?" Lorelai asked looking at her mom.

"Yes. Separated." She said each word as a different sentence as if she were talking to a ten year old Lorelai not a Lorelai in her mid thirties.

"Why?" Lorelai asked. She knew it would happen someday always keeping their cool in front of everybody must have been horrible, eating them up inside. But that's what they did.

"Your father and I see things differently." She said simply.

"Like Panelyn Lott?" She asked nearing scoffing.

"Lorelai this isn't about those stupid lunches." She said it as if she were trying to convince herself and Lorelai sighed.

"Fine." Lorelai said crossing her arms over chest. "It's not about the lunches." She repeated the words sounding foreign to her own ears. She shrugged. "Ok so you both see things differently?" Lorelai asked trying to get this right.

"Yes." She answered sticking her nose up in the air. "We do."

"Ok." Lorelai said shrugging uncrossing her arms pushing her hands on the couch and picking them up watching the indent fill up with material again. She home phone rang and she went to get it. "Hold on." She said.

"Lorelai! We need you!" Sookie rushed out.

"Sook, what's wrong?" She asked furrowing her brow.

"Davy." She said. "He won't stop crying." She said.

"Shh." Lorelai tried to soothe her. "It's ok, I'll be right there." Lorelai said grabbing her purse momentarily forgetting her mother. "Bring him here." Lorelai said setting her purse down.

"You sure?" She asked.

"Yeah bring him here." Lorelai said nodding her head.

"I'll be right there." Sookie said getting Davy and putting him in the car.

"Sook, it's ok." She said smiling. She heard Sookie sniffle. "Are you ok?" She asked.

"I have a cold. Jackson gave it to me." She said blowing her nose.

"He's probably sick then." Lorelai said rolling her eyes.

"That would make sense." Sookie said driving up into Lorelai's house. She shut her phone off and came into her house.

"Aww, Davy's so cute. Even when he's crying." Lorelai said giggling taking him.

"Emily." Sookie said surprised.

"Hello Sookie." Emily said.

"Coffee's in the kitchen, mom you want?" She asked.

"Sure." Emily said.

"Lorelai this tastes like Luke's coffee." Sookie said drinking it.

"That's cause he was here and of course how can he come to my house and not make coffee?" She asked bouncing Davy up and down.

"He can't." Sookie said handing Emily a mug.

"My point!" She said giggling sitting down.

"Tissues are in Rory's room cause even though she lives in Yale she's still the responsible one with all the necessities in her room." She said.

"Baby Tylenol is in the bag." Sookie said getting it out.

"Thanks." She said giving some to Davy. "There you go." She said smiling once he stopped crying.

Emily watched in wonder. How could Lorelai be so good at that? Of course she had done it with Rory but she seemed like a professional with her friend's kid.

"Hello Kitty?" Sookie asked coming out of Rory's room.

"Don't ask." She said rolling her eyes.

"Don't wanna know." She said putting the tissues on the table.

"There are normal ones in there somewhere." Lorelai said. "Ooh my room!" She said. "At least I think they're normal." She said trying to think.

"Doesn't bother me much." She said shrugging. "Let me have him." Sookie said.

"You're sick." She pointed out.

"So is he." Sookie said.

"That won't help his cause." Lorelai said rubbing his back.

"Why are you always right?" Sookie asked.

"I have no idea." She said shrugging giggling. "I was talking about it with Luke also. It's a wonder." Emily scoffed. "Ignore her." Lorelai said rolling her eyes. "She seems to think everything she does is right." She said referring to the separation.

Emily rolled her eyes at this. "That's because it is." Emily said.

"Ha." Lorelai said. "She made a joke!" Lorelai said rolling her eyes.

"Lorelai." Emily said. "I was just trying to include you in this." She said.

"I'll stay out of it until you make up from this one." She said shaking her head.

"Lorelai." Emily said.

"Actually I'm going to go get the tissues." Sookie said going upstairs but neither of them heard her.

Once inside Lorelai's room she decided to look around because she hadn't seen her room in a while. Nothing really changed. She opened the drawers and when she got to 'Luke's' drawer she gasped. She knew they were going out but it had become this serious and she still didn't tell her. Sookie kept telling herself that Lorelai needed time but it had been weeks since she saw them in the inn and she still hadn't told her.

She went into the bathroom and looked around.

Two tooth brushes, two toothpastes, a black razor, a pink razor, a bottle of men's shampoo, and a bunch of other things that indicated Lorelai was getting serious with somebody.

Sookie frowned at the thought of her not sharing it with her but she wiped it off her face. Her best friend was happy and that was all that mattered. Right?

Sookie grabbed the tissues and went downstairs. Emily was gone and Davy was sleeping in Lorelai's arms. "I'll take him home…thank you Lorelai." She said.

Lorelai nodded still in a trance from the fight she just had with Emily. "I'll see you later." Lorelai said getting up to go to bed.

"Separated?" Rory asked.

"That's what the oh so famous Emily Gilmore said." Lorelai sighed. She was in line in Doose's and she was on the phone with Rory.

"Amazing." Rory said.

"Tell me about it." Lorelai said handing Taylor her food so he could scan it. She walked out carrying a bag in each hand and her phone cradled in between her chin and ear. "Ahh I got to go I'll talk to you later ok?" She said.

"Bye mom." Rory said.

"Need help?" Luke asked.

"Why thank you kind sir." Lorelai said giggling handing him a bag.

"Aw jeez." Luke said.

"Come on." She said. They walked to her house and he set the bags in her kitchen. "I don't believe I properly thanked you." She said walking up to him.

"I don't believe so either." He said his breath shallow. No matter how many times he kissed Lorelai or got close to her he always felt like a nervous teenage boy.

She placed a hand on his cheek and put the other on his shoulder. She gave him a light kiss and whispered into his ear, "thanks." She said putting both arms around his neck

"Mmhmm." He said capturing her lips with his. She moaned and teased him; sticking her tongue in and out of his mouth. He moaned and she giggled pushing him up onto the back door. She flicked his cap off and ran her fingers through his hair. He stuck his hands into her pockets and applied pressure on her butt making her come closer. She moaned and pulled back. "Bed." She breathed.

"It's the middle of the day." He said trying to regain a normal breathing pattern.

"Afternoon delight." She said arching an eyebrow offering him her hand.

"Where's Luke." Kirk frowned. "I need Luke." He said.

"Kirk," Rachelle began. "It's the lull he's probably doing something." With that tramp of a girl Lorelai.

"He's always here for the lull." Kirk said.

Just then Lorelai and Luke came into the diner laughing.

"Luke!" Kirk said.

"Yes I'm here." Luke said rolling his eyes.

Lorelai continued to giggle and sat at a stool. "Hi Rachelle." She said a little irked at talking to her boyfriend's ex girlfriend after having sex with your boyfriend.

"Hi Lorelai." She said.

"Coffee!" Lorelai screamed.

"It's the middle of the day." He said coming out of the kitchen.

"What can I say? Coffee is my afternoon delight." She said and then burst into giggles. Luke rolled his eyes and gave her a cup of coffee. "My love!" She said drinking it.

"Luke I need my food." Kirk groaned.

"Let me have my moment you spoilsport." Lorelai said pouting.

Luke handed Kirk some food and rolled his eyes at Lorelai. "Crazy lady." He said.

Lorelai shrugged. "Doesn't seem to bother anybody except my mother but everything I do bothers her except…" She trailed off trying to think about something her mother liked about her. "Nothing." She said drinking her coffee. "So I guess everybody loving me makes up for that." She said giggling.

"Guess so." He smirked refilling her cup.

"Ok now I have afternoon delight stuck in my head." She frowned.

"You had that stuck in your mind on the way over here." He pointed out.

"So? It's still stuck in my head." She pouted drinking her coffee. "The power of a good song." She said.

"You think every song is a good song." He said.

"Not true." She gasped. "I don't like slot of songs." She said.

Lane came out of the storage room. "Here," She said handing him the inventory sheet.

"Thanks." He said taking it and putting it under the cash register.

"What's up Lorelai?" Lane asked.

"Nothing." She said shrugging. "Will you come with me to visit Rory tomorrow?" She asked.

"Sure." She said.

"Yay!" Lorelai said jumping up and down. "Luke you hear that? We need lots of coffee for Rory of course." She said rolling her eyes. "She doesn't have any morning classes." She told Lane.

"And pie!" Lane chimed in.

"Yes, lots and lots of pie I hear they deprive the students at Yale." Lorelai said mocking disappointment.

"Oh I read that in the newspaper yesterday too." He said rolling his eyes.

"Lane! He doesn't care for our dear Rory's life." She said turning to Lane.

"Disappointing." She said shaking her head matching Lorelai's tone.

Lorelai giggled and sipped her coffee. "You have my cd." Lorelai told Lane.

"I know." Lane said. "I took it and then Zach wanted to listen to it and then Brian and then Gil." She said smiling apologetically.

"Whoa…it's traveled a long way." Lorelai said nodding her head.

"Yeah…well…" Lane said shrugging.

Lorelai nodded. "It's not mine thought it's Rory's." She said shrugging. "So you can keep it for all I care." She said giggling. "No she gave it to me." Lorelai said thinking back to that day. "Or I gave it to her." She said furrowing her brow. "This hurts." She said rubbing her head. Lane giggled and rolled her eyes. "Nachos." Lorelai said smiling. "That's what I want. And don't give me the fat free cheese this time buddy." She told Luke.

"Can't blame a guy for trying, sorry I don't want you to die next week." He said going into the kitchen.

"Fatty foods and sugary foods are a necessity, right Lane? I had to sneak it to this girl until she was like 20." She said giggling.

"And I don't need reminding." She said rolling her eyes.

Lorelai smiled sweetly. "Wouldn't think of it." She flipped her hair and sighed. "So, how's Zach?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

Lane shrugged and sat next to Lorelai. "It's great but…Dave." She said sighing.

"Don't tell me you're still going out with Dave?" Lorelai asked.

"No." Lane said. "It's the whole dating in the band thing…it's strange" She said.

Rachelle watched Lorelai talk to Lane in envy. How could everybody love somebody like that?

Simple. She was Lorelai.

"But with Dave they didn't know, right?" She asked placing her chin in her hand, resting her elbow on the countertop.

"True." Lane said thinking it through.

"I win." She said clapping her hands.

"You won?" Lane asked amused.

"I always win." She said smiling.

"Don't argue." Luke said knowingly.

"Wasn't planning on it." Lane said getting up.

"Lane! I need coffee!" Kirk shouted.

"I'm right here Kirk no need to yell." Lane said giggling.

"You don't drink coffee Kirk, it burns your lungs." Lorelai reminded him.

"So?" He asked.

"Fine. Drink the coffee." She said shrugging.

"I'll have a tea Lane." Kirk said.

Lorelai turned around and smiled to herself. "I win." She muttered to herself so only she could hear.
