Title: In the Clamor and the Clangor (quiet)
Summary: post breaking the bell scene in In the Clamor and the Clangor. Hence title (still quiet). Lorelai finally (amen) realizes and admits her feelings for Luke.
A/N 1: thanks for the reviews. I've made up my decision. But if you have your opinion on which I should write, just tell me. So, my mom decided to take my baby brother out for a stroll around downtown after his appointment, so a couple more hours without a baby to take care of. So I decided to post this.
A/N 2: Ok, as I said in the last chapter, this one is very short. And no dialogue at all. If you have noticed, I'm all dialogue. But this one has non at all. I didn't want it to be this way, but after writing the last chapter I have decided to make this a separate chapter. It may not be good also. Just remember, I'm mostly dialogue, so please save the tomatoes.
A/N 3: if you hate it tell me. If you like it, tell me still. I love reviews. I'll stop with the rambling, and let you read chapter 7.
CHAPTER 7: HE LOVES ME
The next day, Lorelai has been avoiding the diner. Mainly because of fear that Nicole might be there. But she got over it and went in. but Luke was nowhere to be found. Lane had told her that he had some business to attend to. Lorelai understood, wondering if it was about the divorce.
The next few days after that, there were still no Luke. Lane informed her that he did came back, but only for few minutes. He only came in, told them he would be out for a couple of days and that her and Cesar are in charge until he came back. Then he left with a duffel bag in tow. Word on the street was he's staying with Nicole at there place doing newlywed stuff.
Hearing all this made Lorelai sick. She keeps telling herself that all those rumors weren't true. Sure he's gone. Probably with Nicole, but only to talk about their divorce. Nothing more. He doesn't love that son of a bitch lawyer. No, he loves me! But then again, what if they were trying to save their marriage. What if Nicole had gotten to him and hypnotized him to stay with her and work their marriage out. Maybe Luke realized that what had happened to them was a mistake, he had never meant all those things he had said. He really does want to be with Nicole…
NO! stop it! That's not true. You know it's not true! He loves you. And only you. but does he? Ugh! Yes he does. Luke wouldn't even bring up that he loves me if he doesn't really. He wouldn't of had made love with me five times if he didn't love me. He wouldn't of had said he loves me if he didn't. that's not him. That's not Luke. He wouldn't do any of those things. He wouldn't hurt me. He has never hurt me. And he never will. but there's a first for everything. What if Luke did love Nicole and not her? Stop it. He loves me. He loves me.
After almost a week, Luke was back. Lorelai tried to hint to him that she wants to know where he was and what kind of business he had to attend to. But all Luke did was give her coffee and act like nothing had happened. Just regular ol banter between friends although that is the kind of façade they're going for.
He loves me. He loves me. He loves me.
All this time, Lorelai couldn't help but think that he did work things out with Nicole. He loves me. by the way he's acting, it seems like it. He loves me. this caused a pit in her stomach. He loves me. which grew larger and larger everyday he sees him and still acts like nothing happened. Not even a hint of his finalized divorce. Or maybe he's moving his diner to Litchfield. No, just acts like everything was as it was before anything happened to them. Or even before Nicole. He…loves…me?
She also tried to be alone with him to talk. And if the talk went well they could move on to do other things. But the talk had to be first priorities. But every time she has the chance, he either declines or something gets in the way. This made Lorelai feel more sad. She thought he loves her. He even said so. He said he loves her and he wants to be with her. Maybe she heard him wrong. Or maybe he changed his mind. Again, maybe he wanted his marriage with Nicole to work out. Maybe it was all a fluke. But she loves him. She doesn't want it to be a fluke. She wanted it to be real. She wanted them to be together. They belong together. Everyone knows it. And they know it. She is head-over-heels in love with him. And she may never feel the same way about anybody.
On the other hand, she finally broke things off with Jason. He has asked her out again and she said no. but of course, he didn't give up there. He keeps asking her out and asking her out. And she keeps declining it. But he still wouldn't let go, so she told him no and never will she ever go out with him again. He wanted to know why, she said that she wasn't interested. He's still asking her out, in hopes that she'll change her mind. But Lorelai wouldn't hear it. She doesn't care if things doesn't work out with Luke, she will never go out with Jason Stiles ever.
A few more weeks had passed, and Luke and Lorelai are still the same. They'd banter, they'd flirt mockingly, yet they're still not having sex, and not even remotely close to being in a relationship. Lorelai didn't want to push Luke into anything he doesn't want to do, so she didn't. if Luke did want to be with her, then absolutely fabulous, if he didn't, then there's nothing else she can do. She had her chance, no, chances, and she let it go. It was her own fault.
A/N 1: told you it was short, and no dialogue, so boring. I know. But hey, it's still good, I hope. I'm still on a schedule here. I'd be happy if you review.
A/N 2: (sigh) I guess it's time to tell you, the next chapter will be the last. Yes. The last chapter of this story. I can't believe it. I'll have fun writing it though. And I'm also gonna start my new story, I'm calling it, Father's Day Works Magic. (sigh.) last chapter.
A/N 3: Also, read my new story, Conversations.
