Chapter 4"Luke wait" Lorelai said a little unsure
"Hey what's wrong?" He said and let go of her hand
"What if they don't like me?" She said
"Don't worry there is no way they won't like you I promise" He said and grabbed her hand and gave it a little squeeze
"Ok, let's go" She said and they headed to a group of kids sitting on the bleachers
"Hey guys" Luke said to everyone. Sitting on the top row was Kirk, Tyler, Jackson, Sookie, and Rachel and just below them was Gypsy, Kevin, Ben, LuLu
"Hey" They all said to Luke
"I want you guys to meet someone, this is Lorelai, and Lorelai this is…."Luke said and named everyone
"Hi" Everyone greeted her but she noticed Rachel's cold stare
Luke sat down and Lorelai sat next to him right near Kirk
"So where are you from?" Kirk asked
"Hartford" She said
"O my god that party Friday night was at your house wasn't it?" Tyler asked
"Yah actually" She said
"Wow so your like rich" Kirk said
"Kirk" Luke said in a warning voice
"Luke it's ok, and Kirk yes I am but that doesn't matter what about you guys, what do you do around here?" Lorelai asked
"Well there's not much we have the theatre and we have town festivals," LuLu said
"Festivals?" she asked confused
"Almost every month there is a festival about something and there is food, music, rides and it just a event that the whole town comes together and celebrates" Sookie finished
"Wow that sounds like fun"
"Yea, it is but probably nothing compared to the parties you must go to" Gypsy said
"O yea, fancy dinners with rich stuck up snobs and food you cant even pronounce, boring conversations and my parents, I would said not so fun" She said with a laugh
"You seem like you don't really enjoy Hartford" Jackson said and laughed
"Defiantly not rather spend all my days here instead of there"
"Well your welcome to hang out with us whenever you want to" Sookie said happily which was followed by a glare from Rachel
"Thanks, I will defiantly take you up on that offer" Lorelai said
"Ok guys games starting" Ben said
"Ok shh…" Kevin said to everyone
"See they like you" Luke whispered in her ear and put his arm around her
"I know their great" Lorelai whispered back and snuggled closer into him
As the game went on and they continued to question Lorelai about her life which she was happy to answer all the questions and shared some whispers with Luke that did not go unnoticed by Rachel who had her eye on them the whole time.
"I don't think she's a big fan of me," Lorelai said to Luke
"Who" He asked confused
"Rachel."
"Don't worry about her she's probably just jealous of something"
"Of course she is look at you who wouldn't be jealous," She laughed
"O please, Look at who I am sitting with," Luke said with a smile
"Flattery will get you everywhere my friend"
"I'll keep that in mind" He said and kissed her on the cheek
Two and a half hours later"K, guys were going to get going " Luke said to the group
"Why are you leaving so soon?" Rachel asked curiously
"Well I'm going to finish giving Lorelai a tour and then we have to get home to dinner" Luke replied helping Lorelai up
"Dinner as in with your father?" Jackson asked a little surprised
"Yup" Luke said simply
"Wow, he never invites people for dinner at your house" Sookie said
"Well he invited Lorelai" He said and smiled and put his arm around her
"Ok. Well you two have fun and Lorelai here is my number if you want to take me up on that offer" Sookie said and handed her a piece of paper
"Wow, thanks it was nice meeting you guys" She said and waved bye to everyone as she and Luke left
"Can you believe Luke is with that girl?" Rachel said in a disgusted voice
"He is so lucky, what more could he ask for, her dad is like the richest man around, she's really popular at her school, she's nice, and she is the hottest girl" Kevin said
"Yea whatever" Rachel said and walked away
"Well someone is jealous" Sookie said giggled
"So those were your friends?" Lorelai said
"Yup, their really nice people, well most of them" Luke said thinking back to the death glares from Rachel
"Yea they are, your lucky to have them, I don't have anyone like that," She said sadly
"Hey don't say that you have me and you have them now too ok" He said and lifted her chin to look in her eyes
"Ok, thanks" She said softly
"Your welcome, come on I have somewhere I want to show you" He said and grabbed her hand and led her to the Lake
"Wow it's beautiful," She said as they sat on the edge of the bridge with their feet hanging over the water
"Yea, I always come her to think about stuff," He said and he put his arm around her
They sat there for a little while in silence until Lorelai broke it
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" She asked
"You." He said simply and smiled at her which sent shivers down her back
"Really what about me?" She asked curiously
"Well, a lot I don't know just how even though we only knew each other a few days I have this feeling I don't know I just really like spending time with you and talking to you on the phone and stuff" He said shyly
"I know how you feel because I feel the same way about you" She said and smiled at him
"Really?" He asked hopefully
"Really, and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind me spending more time around here after today?" She asked him with a glint in her eyes
"Of course whenever you want to come down I will be happy to be your company"
"Great, because I was wondering if you wanted to have dinner sometime this week just me and you" She asked him and smiled
"Of course how about Wednesday?"
"Sure but why Wednesday?" She asked
"Well I have to work tomorrow at my dads store and Tuesday I have track after school so I'll be beat"
"Aww you have track how cute" She teased him
"Funny" He glared at her and then cracked a smile
"How about we head back to my house for dinner my dad should be home soon?" He said and got up followed by Lorelai
"Ok just one more thing" She smiled
"Ok what?" Luke asked
"This" She said and leaned into him and kissed him. It was meant to be a small simple kiss but grew into a passionate kiss and her hands went around Luke's neck and his hands went around her waist. After what seemed like an eternity they separated.
"Wow, what did I do to deserved that" Luke asked surprised
"That was for being so good to me today" She smiled and grabbed his hand as they walked Back to the Danes household.
