Disclaimer: Nope, nothing.
Anything you can do I can do Better
Luke was drinking beer at the bar with his ex-girl friend, Caitlin. I can tell that this is going to be one weird wedding, he thought. He glanced over to where Lorelai and Jake were dancing moments ago, only to find they were no longer there. He scanned the room and caught a quick glance of Jake and Lorelai leaving the room, hand in hand. He frowned, and chugged the last few sips of his beer. He waved the bar tender over, and motioned for him to refill it.
Caitlin watched Luke looking over at a pretty brunette girl leaving the room with some guy. "Do you know her?" Caitlin asked.
"Hmm?" Luke was too caught up watching Lorelai to hear what Caitlin had said. He jolted back to reality as Lorelai disappeared from view. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"
"I asked if you knew her." Caitlin said, trying to read his expression.
"If I knew who?" Luke said, trying to pretend he didn't know who she was talking about.
"That woman that you have been staring at. You know, brown curly hair… Just left with some guy."
"Who, Lorelai? Yeah I know her."
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry about what?" Luke asked, confused.
"Well the woman that you seem to like quite a lot just left with another man. This is a wedding, and more importantly it is Brett and Shannon's wedding. It basically screams scandal, so I am sorry that the girl you like just went off to sleep with another guy." So I got I bit carried away…Who knows, she might have gone off to sleep with that guy, Caitlin thought to herself. But I doubt it… Who cares anyway? I've changed. I'm looking for a little excitement, and I think Luke is just about drunk enough to buy it.
Luke's face fell. He didn't think that Lorelai would actually sleep with a guy who she just met, but Caitlin was right about at least one thing. This was a wedding, and he hadn't ever heard of a wedding that made it all the way to the end without even a little disturbance.
Luke finished up another glass of beer and looked expectantly at Caitlin.
Caitlin smiled. "Come take a walk with me." She said, and grabbed Luke's arm. Luke nodded, and followed her out of the room.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile…
"You know, I don't usually follow people I just met wherever they want to take me." Lorelai said as Jake pulled her outside into the cool night air.
"Hey, we danced and talked. I think that qualifies as a bit more than 'just met'" Jake answered, flashing her a handsome smile.
"Well we better get to wherever we're going soon, because these shoes weren't made for running around outside."
"Its not much further."
About a minute later Jake stopped and turned to face Lorelai. She looked around at the beautiful garden around her. The ground was coated in flowers, and there was a bench overlooking a small pond where Lorelai could faintly see a few fish swimming around.
"You know, I have never been much of a gardener but this place isn't too shabby." Lorelai said as she walked over to the bench and took a seat. Jake followed her lead, and took a seat next to her.
They sat in silence for a while, but Lorelai's thoughts where racing. Should I really be here right now? I came here with Luke, should I have stayed with him? Her mind argued with itself. But he was the one who left me standing all by myself. That girl was probably his ex, or at least somebody he didn't want me to meet... I don't know why though, its not like he is my boyfriend. He doesn't have control over me to say where I can and can't go, so it is perfectly all right for me to be here. Lorelai continued to convince herself it was okay to be sitting outside with Jake.
Soon, it started to get darker and colder. Lorelai shivered.
"Maybe I should have worn a suit." Jake said.
"Maybe you should have worn a tuxedo so you could be all fancy like James Bond." Lorelai joked. "Why should you have worn a suit?" Lorelai continued seriously.
"Don't joke about James." Jake smiled. "I was just thinking that if I was wearing a suit I could give you the jacket and we wouldn't have to go back inside."
This guy seems too good to be true. And a little on the cheesy side too. Lorelai thought. Maybe he is just nice. I always seem to expect the worst in people. I should give this guy a chance.
"I think I will just go inside to get a sweater." Lorelai said, and stood up.
"I'll come with you." Jake said, and followed her back towards the hotel.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke stumbled after Caitlin towards the front entrance of the hotel. She led him off to the side, and over to a bench, and gestured for him to sit. From the bench they could see cars driving on the highway. They were far enough away that you couldn't hear them, but you just saw tiny light sparkling in the distance. It was actually sort of peaceful.
"So, what have you been doing for the past eight years?" Luke said, clumsily starting the conversation.
"I got married… Then divorced… It only lasted a year." Caitlin said.
"Oh… Um, sorry to hear that." Luke wasn't the best at showing sympathy.
"Oh, don't be sorry. If I was still with him I wouldn't be sitting here with you, would I?" Caitlin ran her fingers through his hair, flirting shamelessly and obviously.
Luke was beginning to get a little uncomfortable. Caitlin didn't used to be like this. She used to be sweet, and shy. I guess a lot has changes in eight years, he thought.
Caitlin leaned towards Luke, and pressed her lips against his.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Lorelai and Jake were walking back in to the hotel she heard voices, and turned to look around. To her left, she saw Luke sitting on a bench with that girl with the dirty blonde hair. She was about to turn away, when she saw the blond lean in and kiss Luke. By now Lorelai was very angry. She turned on her heal and walked as quickly as she could into the hotel without looking back.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few seconds after Caitlin had leaned in for the kiss Luke realized what was happening and pulled away.
"Whats the matter?" Caitlin asked.
Luke remained silent.
"Is it about that girl, Lorelai?" Caitlin continued. "Just forget about her."
Luke shook his head, and stood up. He started to walk back to the hotel, and left Caitlin sitting alone in the dark, angered by her rejection.
"I'm not going to let that go this easily." She muttered to herself as Luke disappeared through the hotel doors.
When inside, Luke decided that he would go back, and try and have a good time. Maybe Lorelai would have come back, and he could talk to her. Just as he had finished that thought he caught a glimpse of Lorelai disappearing into the elevator with that guy, and she looked very busy. Luke sighed and headed towards the bar.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lorelai pressed the 'up' button, and waited for the elevator to come, with Jake right behind her. When the elevator arrived they stepped inside.
Jake slowly guided Lorelai to lean against the back wall of the elevator, and before the doors had even closed, he had his lips pressed to hers.
