Chapter 11

editor's note: thanks for the new review! I'll try to keep that in mind while writing this.

Lorelai answered the phone she had been busy watching a TV show when

it rang. "Lorelai?" "Max?" "Please come out to dinner with me just once please? I

promise if its horrible you never have to do it again." Max said. "All right." Lorelai

sighed. What was it with the men in her life? First Christopher now Max was coming

back? "I'll pick you up at seven." Max told her. "All right." Lorelai went to go get

ready when a knock came at the door. She opened it was awfully early she knew

Max was punctual but this was ridicules. Luke stood in the door way. "Luke! Did

I leave something else behind?" Lorelai asked stunned. "No you didn't." Luke said.

"Well then what is the problem?" "The problem is that I'm not complete without you."

Luke said. "What?" Lorelai asked. "I won't be happy unless I marry you Lor and April

will just have to get used to what a wonderful woman you are." Luke said. Lorelai

slammed the door in his face and began to sob as she leaned against the door. Luke

drove away he wasn't going to let her get away that easily he did once but he regretted it.

Max arrived at the Gilmore house at seven. He rang the doorbell. It was dark not

even the sound from the TV was on. Lorelai was still sitting behind her door crying

quietly she couldn't go. But she didn't know what to say to Luke either. How she wanted

him that much she knew! But he had broken her heart and was that enough to forgive

him? Would he really marry her this time? Could she believe him?

Rory, Logan, Mitchem, Madeline and Louis all stared at each other. Rory ate the

food silently. "So how long are you in London for Rory?" Mitchem asked. "For the rest

of the summer sir." Rory said. "You won't keep Logan from his work will you?"

Mitchem asked. "No but you think I will don't you?" Rory challenged. "I can only

guess." Mitchem replied. "Dad you promised!" Logan reminded him. "Yes your right

sorry son perhaps I should stick to topics like how's the weather to your taste and

what have you seen so far questions more to miss Gilmore's understanding."

Mitchem said. "Yet this coming from a man who a moment ago claimed me as his

treasure in the journalism world prizing me as his find when he told me I'd be no

good. Well I am good Mitchem and Logan and I are together weather you like it or

not and I am good enough for your son." Mitchem laughed. "What?" "You picked

up my arguing talents at your intern too." "Okay how about we have desert and then

I go with them back to their Hotel." Logan said. "A fine idea son. You know I like

you Rory Gilmore. And I push people I like to their limits." Mitchem said. Rory

gave Paris a look who shrugged. Desert was quiet and the limo ride was even quieter.

Rory stepped out of the car. Logan grabbed her arm. "I'm taking you to dinner

tomorrow alone Miss Gilmore that is if I may have the pleasure of your company?"

Logan asked. "Yes." "It is of the utmost importance that you come alone." Logan said.

Rory nodded feeling giddy. "What was that about?" Louis pried as soon as Rory caught

up with them in the Lobby. "Nothing." "Rory Gilmore we know your hiding something

from us and we will find out what it is." Madeline said. "Good luck I couldn't even keep

my boyfriend a secret from them." Paris told me. "All right Logan has asked me to a

private dinner tomorrow night." "That's not all he's going to ask." Louis said excited.

"How do you know Logan and I have had lots of private dinners." "I'll bet but none

as exciting as this is going to be." Louis told me squealing.
