Okay. I know I totally went back on my promise of updating soon, because it has been ages. Sorry. I could tell you a thousand reasons why it has been so long, but I don't want to bore you, so on with the story.
Disclaimer: I obviously do not own Gilmore girls.
(Oh and by the way, things in italics are the character's thoughts)
Coffee, Coffee, Coffee
"Rory?" Lorelai yelled as she closed the front door and turned on the hall light.
Rory emerged from her old room, holding a pop tart in one hand and a book in the other. "Hey mom."
"So, to what do I owe this visit from my favorite daughter? I thought you would have had plans with Logan?"
"Nope. His dad dragged him along to London for the weekend, so I guess I am stuck with you." Rory joked.
"Well isn't that sweet."
"Did the coffee work it's magic? Are we ready for phase two: eating as much junk food as we possibly can?"
"I don't need to be upset in order to eat as much junk food as I can, but it is a good excuse. Actually, I didn't get any coffee at Luke's… Now that I think about it he was acting a little bit strange… He seemed distracted by something."
"Was he distracted by you? Because that dress is pretty slutty, and he always pays more attention to you than anyone else. I would have thought that he would drop whatever he was holding just at the sight of you."
"Well he did drop a coffee mug."
"I rest my case"
"Lets just watch a movie or something. You pick, and I'll get coffee and snacks."
"Okay."
As Lorelai filled up the coffee pot with water, she found herself thinking about Luke. Does he really like me like that? We have known each other for years…It would be weird to start something……… Wouldn't it? As Lorelai tried to convince herself that she didn't like Luke as more than a friend, she got an abrupt shock as she felt water from the overflowing pot streaming down her hand. She shook her head to clear her mind and continued to make the coffee. I will think about it tomorrow.
The Next day:
Lorelai was in a rush, as usual, to get ready for work. She rushed around her room looking for an outfit, and frantically threw on some makeup. If she hurried, she would have time to have a quick cup of coffee at Luke's, without being too late for work.
Meanwhile, Luke was making eggs and toast for his customers. The dinner was actually surprisingly empty for a Saturday morning, but he knew the rush would come eventually. I guess a lot of people are just running late today.
As he was refilling the coffee, he found his mind drifting to Lorelai. Maybe I won't just invite her as friends… I think I will just invite her and she can think what she likes… I'll let her draw her own conclusions… Its time to take a chance Danes! That was when Luke decided that the next time he saw Lorelai Gilmore, no matter what he was going to ask her to go to his cousin's wedding with him.
He didn't think his opportunity would come so soon.
Lorelai flew through the door yelling "Coffee! Coffee! Coffeeeeee!"
She quickly pulled out a stool, sat down, and looked expectantly at Luke. He poured her a cup of coffee in a to go cup and handed it to her.
"What, no lecture today?"
"Can I talk to you for a minute Lorelai? Alone?"
"Umm, Okay Luke… Sure…" Lorelai was taken a bit off guard by this question.
As Luke led her into the storage room, Lorelai said, "Umm Luke? What is this about? And will it take long, because I am kind of late for work…"
"Don't worry it won't take long, I just wanted to ask you something."
Lorelai looked at him, waiting.
Luke took a deep breath and said, "I was just wondering if you wanted to go to my cousin's wedding with me next week. Its just in Hartford, so its not a very long way away."
Well Lorelai didn't see that coming. Was this a date, or is he asking me just as friends? She wondered. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, her cell phone started to ring. Luke waited patiently as she answered it.
"Hello"
"Where are you?" A man with a strong French accent greeted her.
"Michel?"
"You are late again. I do not think it is fair that I do all the work around here."
"Is that the only reason you are calling?" Lorelai asked, annoyed that he interrupted her conversation with Luke, just to bother her.
"Well that, and Sookie caught her hair on fire."
"She what!"
"It was actually quite amusing. All the kitchen helpers where chasing her around and hitting her with over mitts."
"Is she okay? Is she hurt?"
"Well maybe if you actually came to work on time, you would know."
"Fine, I'll be right there!" Lorelai closed her phone and turned to Luke. "Luke, I'm sorry, I have to go, something happened at the Inn, and Michel is being his usual stubborn self so I have to go."
"Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, fine, but I really have to go. I'll get back to you about the wedding thing."
"Okay." Luke said as she rushed out the door.
At least this gives me more time to think about what I am going to say to Luke, Lorelai thought as she drove to the inn. I'll ask Rory what she thinks. Maybe she will have some perspective. She does go to Yale after all.
