Chapter Six

"Hey Mom." Rory said. Lorelei was sitting on the couch, staring into space, her mind on Luke and how their relationship had changed since Halloween, only two weeks ago.

"Oh, Hey Rory!" Lorelei said.

"What are you doing here?" Rory said.

"Where else would I be?"

"Um, work."

"Oh! What time is it?" Asked Lorelei.

"Four o' clock." Rory said.

"Oops! Well, that's what you get for thinking."

"You were thinking? What a change!" Rory said.

"I know! It hurts my brain! But I like this thought." Lorelei said smiling.

"What were you thinking about?"

"Luke." Lorelei said happily.

"Yes I thought so. You've become jello when it comes to him."

"Shut up!" said Lorelei, still smiling.

"Oh sorry. I didn't think you ever thought about Luke. Though he does make really good jello."

"Much better!"

The arrived at Luke's at about nine o'clock that night.

"Hey, Lorelei." Luke said, kissing Lorelei over the counter.

"Hi."

"Coffee?"

"Of course."

"I am never drinking Coffee again." Luke said.

"Why?" Lorelai said gasping.

"Do you know how bad it is for you? And I've come to not like the taste." Luke said pouring Lorelai a cup of coffee.

"Okay Luke whatever you say."

"Thank you. Anyway we're still on for tomorrow night, right?" Luke said

"Yes."

"She was thinking about you earlier!" Rory said.

"Is that so?"

"Rory!" Lorelei said.

"It's okay Lorelei. I was thinking about you too…how you should really pay for your coffee. " Luke said.

"Well, thanks Luke!" Lorelei said laughing slightly.

Luke smiled.

"Hey Rory!" Said a voice coming from the kitchen. It was Jess.

"Oh hey Jess!" Said Rory happily.

"Do you want to go to a movie?" Jess said.

"Sure!"

Luke and Lorelei looked at each other.

"Be home by Eleven, or you're grounded." Luke said.

"Why?" Jess asked.

"Because of you." Luke said.

"Oh, please!"

"No, oh pleases."

"Fine, whatever you say Uncle Luke."

"It's Luke!"

"Wow, it's like a movie isn't it? We should just watch them instead of going to that movie." Lorelei said watching Luke and Jess fight.

"Yeah, where's the popcorn?" Rory said.

"Hey, Luke can I have some popcorn?"

"No!" Luke replied to Lorelei's request.

"Okay, lets go this fight is getting out of control." Rory said, looking from Luke to Jess.

"Okay! Bye!" Lorelai said.

"See you later. JESS!" Luke said as they left.
