Long ass A/N: Ok, so here I was sitting at my desk with my coffee and I pondered on what to make happen in this story next, and to javajunkie101 who pointed out two chapters ago that it wasn't my best…THANK YOU! Honestly I'm going to send you a heart felt thank you b-cuz when you pointed out that I'd been slacking my ass got in high gear and wrote the last chapter and now this one. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. That however doesn't mean that I want y'all to drop me a review that says that I suck or anything, just kindly point out to me when I'm not writing like me and my ass will get to it. And I appreciate each and every gosh darn one of y'all for leaving me reviews, as previously stated it motivates me to write more. My life's been purdy hellish here lately so I hadn't checked my reviews in a while and javajunkie101 got me thinking and now here we are, you're reading my rambling message and wishing I'd get on with the story and I'm continuing to ramble. Some of you may not even read my rambling a/n's but who cares. Some of you do and you are getting to know the real me…like what you read?
Chapter ?…I really dunno.
Saying that she was walking on air would be an understatement to those who were graced to be in the presence of a bubbly Lorelai Gilmore. She could not and would not even attempt to quit smiling and while she did this normally, today a glow encompassed her that was both indescribable and fascinating. Heads never ceased to turn when she walked the streets of Stars Hollow and today was no different. People stopped to watch her walk by and couldn't help but whisper to the closest person next to them the reason for her mood. The whole of Stars Hollow already had detailed information about due to the antics of Miss Patty and Babette, but the listener always listened as the love story unfolded itself repeatedly over and over.
As she made it to the corner in front of Doose's she smiled at the attention she was receiving and was inwardly thrilled about what they were talking about, she and Luke were having awesome sex and in a relationship, but also agitated that people were whispering in hushed tones about things that were undoubtedly personal. The former outweighed the latter however and as the bell above the door of the diner announced her arrival all eyes came to rest on hers, including a pair of icy blues that never failed to send her soaring. What happened next was a shock to all, but most of all Lorelai. Luke, who had seen her coming from across the street was halfway to the door when she stepped in and didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around her and kiss her lovingly, the diner becoming quiet and mouths gaping at their blatant public display of affection. She returned his kiss slowly, her head reeling in confusion and in exhilaration that he was doing this. But she was a self-proclaimed rebel and she didn't hesitate in upping the kiss slightly before he reluctantly pulled away.
"What was that for?" She whispered, resting her forehead against his.
"I missed you." He replied shrugging.
"I didn't take you for a PDA kind of guy."
"That's because I'm not a PDA kind of guy." He smiled, releasing her as they made their way to their stations, he behind the counter and her perched on a stool.
"So this is a first?" She asked, grateful for the returning buzz of the diner. He only nodded and looked shyly down at the counter, grabbing a rag and beginning to work it across the space in front of her in small circles. Her hand came to rest on top of his and their eyes made contact. "Well I hope it's not the last." She said seriously, Luke's heart actually melting at loving look in her eyes.
"I won't be-" He revealed before he was rudely interrupted.
"Young man that was a highly inappropriate display of affection a moment ago-"
"Shut up Taylor." Luke growled, his gaze turning hard as he looked at a seemingly fuming Taylor Doose.
"I will not shut up young man, there are children in this diner."
"So what Taylor, surely they see their parents kiss."
"Not like that." Taylor replied.
"What do you mean, not like that?"
"This is a public facility Luke. If you continue to do that out in the open kids won't have to watch cheap cable…they can come here and get a free show!"
"Hey!" Lorelai interjected. "I don't think it's any of your business-"
"As town selectman it has to be my business. I have to think of the whole of the town."
"It's not like it was NC-17 or anything." Lorelai retorted, smiling inwardly as she remembered the taste of strawberries on his tongue.
"Don't you play innocent missy!" He exclaimed, dropping his voice before continuing. "I saw you slip him the tongue, you two have only been dating for what three days now-"
"That'll be enough Taylor!" Luke bellowed, finally fed up with the conversation. "The way I chose to kiss my fiancée in my diner is my business, not you or anyone else!"
"Y-your what?" Miss Patty stuttered from across the room.
"My business!" Luke exclaimed, now noticing the hush that had fell upon the diner. "What?" He asked, turning to see a look of astonishment on all faces but Lorelai's, whose smile seemed to have grown larger.
"You said Lorelai was your fiancée." Babette spoke up, bracing herself to catapult from her table to steal a glance at the ring Lorelai inevitably had. Luke only looked to Lorelai once again and she smiled, nodding her head as if giving her consent.
"Well that's because she is." Luke replied, surprised at the immediate uproar of laughter and shouting that followed their revelation.
"In that case your excused." Taylor smiled, the sight of which gave Luke and Lorelai the willies. As the commotion continued around them they found themselves lost in each other's gaze, a gaze that both were unwilling to break and did not break until the inevitable question was asked.
"How did he propose?" Came Babette's raspy voice, and the event in question began to play itself over in her mind, all in vivid detail that surpassed any memory she had of when Max proposed. Luke was a lot of firsts for her and she for him, but there wasn't a moment that had occurred the past three days that Lorelai couldn't recount and just the recognition of that fact made her stomach turn somersaults in realization of how much she loved the man standing before her. The world seemed to fade around her, everyone but Luke falling back into darkness, in the whole of the world there was only Luke and Lorelai, at least at that moment.
"Well it was sort of out of the blue…" She started.
"Don't you think it's a little soon?" Came Gypsy's voice from somewhere in the crowd. "I mean didn't you and what his name just split Friday?"
"Well…yeah." Lorelai began.
"It's not like we're getting married tomorrow." Luke interjected.
"Yeah." Lorelai nodded furiously. "We'll wait a while."
"Well that's all well and good." Patty smiled impatiently. "How'd he propose? Oh, was it during sex, all the best proposals are made during sex."
"No we weren't having sex when he proposed." Lorelai smiled, adding the look of absolute bashfulness to her catalogue of Luke emotions. "We'd just got done a little while before." She smiled as Luke began to serve the few customers who chose to listen from afar and didn't miss the look of frustration on his face at her revelation to the town.
"Look at her smiling!" Patty exclaimed, poking Babette with her elbow. "I told you he would be good in the sack."
"I never argued with ya." Babette smiled, Lorelai's attention finally turning back to the crowd surrounding her.
"Listen you guys I promise you the whole story later, but Rory's gonna be home in a few minutes and I've sort of been neglecting her the past couple of days."
"Who could blame ya?" Babette called, watching as Luke reappeared with a to-go cup outstretched for her.
"I'll see you in a while." Lorelai smiled devilishly, knowing he was remembering this morning as well.
"Yeah." He smiled as she took the coffee, leaning over to receive her goodbye kiss. "Love you." He whispered, kissing her softly.
"Love you too." She smiled, turning and heading out the door. All eyes then turned to Luke and a round of "Ah's" resounded throughout the diner.
