CHAPTER 2: ONE WEEK LATER…
Lorelai walks into her house in a huff. After a stressful day at the inn and not so friendly visit to the diner, Lorelai needed complaining. Though she could just go to Rory and complain, she had other another idea. Once inside, she immediately picked up the phone and sat on the couch.
"Hello?" came the gruff voice on the other line.
"You have to come home." she said immediately.
Luke smiled upon hearing Lorelai's voice. "Hold on. Let me click my heels three times."
"Luuukkee!" Lorelei wined.
"What is it Lorelai?" he sighed in annoyance, though deep down he loves it when she wines. He could see her pouting.
"You have to come home to give that new guy of yours a lesson." she said. "You have to lecture him. Tell him that I am Lorelai Gilmore, and you give me whatever I want because I am an amazing and gorgeous woman. And you like me a lot. And you will kick his ass if he ever put me in a mood."
"Ok, who are we talking about?"
"That new guy you hired!"
"You mean John?"
" I don't know his name. All I know is he was being very rude to me."
He rolled his eyes. "What did he do?"
"Well," Lorelai started, "after a not so cheerful day at the inn, I went to the diner to get my daily fix. And it was busy, and since you weren't there to serve me, cause you always serve no matter how busy it was, I decided to serve myself, cause waiting just does not do for me. So I went behind the counter to get some coffee, and here comes Johny boy. Thinking he owns the place and yells at me!"
"No!" he says sarcastically.
"Yes!" she says, ignoring his sarcasm. "He kept telling me that I had no right to go behind the counter because I don't work there. And clearly, he has never been in your diner before, or even set foot in Stars Hollow, cause he obviously does not know who I am. And I try to point that out to him, and he just yells at me more!"
"You're kidding?" he said, again sarcastically.
"I kid you not my friend." she says, again ignoring his sarcasm. "But thank god for Lane. She calmed the new dude down and told him exactly who I was. She said that I, lorelai Gilmore, am the only, with an exception of my daughter, non employees who are allowed behind the counters."
"She said that?"
"Yes. Thank god for that angel. And I'll have you know my friend, that now that we are in this relationship, starting an Us, I will be going behind the counter more often." she said pointedly.
"Uh-huh." he replied, still grinning from the mention an Us.
"Oh, and she told him that you are the only one who can yell at me. Which is true, cause I can always tire you out and you'll let me get away with anything." she said with a grin. "I have to tell you Luke, you should really give that girl a raise. She is hard working and she knows the Lorelai Gilmore way."
"Well she is your daughter's best friend, ever since kindergarten. And you've been like a mother to her, giving her a place to stay when she had nowhere to go, you gave her stuff for her place, food. She owes ya. Probably why she did that."
"Come on Luke. Give that girl some money. She earned it, deserves it, and needs it."
"She is hard working." no matter how much he tries, he will always gives in on Lorelai. And Lane really was a hard worker.
"That's what I'm talking about." she sighs heavily. "Thank god you're coming home tomorrow. I don't know what I would do without you. I mean a week is enough. But I gotta tell you, I have not had any decent coffee nor pancakes. And I'm getting really lonely without you."
He was silent. "Well," he started slowly. "What would you do if I say I'm not gonna be back for a month?"
"Then I will develope super flying powers and go there and drag you back here." she says, jokingly, not paying attention to his tone of voice.
"Well Lorelai…I'm not gonna be back for a month."
"What?"
"Yeah, I thought that Liz and Tj would be better by now, but they're not. It's worser than I thought. They need me and I can't just leave them." silence. "Lorelai say something."
"Hold on, let me go get my Wonder Woman costume. Are you serious?"
He sighed. "I'm afraid so."
"But you were only suppose to be gone for a week!"
"I know."
"And we were suppose to go on a date the day after you come back!"
"I know."
"And you're suppose to be here for the grand opening for the inn. You have to be here. you're one of the investors!"
"Ok, I am totally regretting picking up the phone when my sister called."
"No, no. I'm sorry. I shouldn't be complaining." she sighed. "You should be there. They need you more than I do. and you wouldn't be you if you didn't help. Sorry for being such a child."
"Well you wouldn't be you if you weren't."
"It's just, I miss you so much you know?" she says shyly.
"I know. I miss you too."
"There have been very few times in our life where we were apart. Usually we had a fight and I would avoid the diner. But it was always ok, cause I know you were there. And I could always come up to you and say 'hey Luke, this fight is stupid. Let's make up and forget it ever happened.' and everything would be alright."
"I am coming back home you know. I'm not moving away. I'm just staying here longer than intended."
"I know. But still, a month is a long time."
"I know."
"I don't know if I can last that long without you." she says quietly and shyly.
"I don't think I can wither." he says, equally quiet, yet grinning. "But we can still talk to each other over the phone. And you have the inn to keep you busy. And I have lunatics around me."
"Well you're right about the inn. It will keep me busy. And with the crazy people around you, it's like you never left home at all." she joked.
"Maybe." he said. "But the only crazy person that I can tolerate and would actually want to be with is unfortunately not here."
Loreali blushed. "Luke Danes you better be talking about me. Otherwise this thing between us is completely pointless."
"Oh no, did you think I was talking about you? No, I was talking about Amy. This other insane girl who always comes in my diner demanding for coffee."
"Luukkee!" she shrieked. She knows that he's talking about her, but still couldn't help be jealous.
"Yes Lorelai. I am talking about you." he grinned.
"Good." she siad, smiling, now feeling idiotic for shrieking. "Well Luke, I have to get going. I have to be at the inn. And if i make Michel wait longer, his French gets thicker and with your news, and my day, i don't need Michel to annoy me more. I'll talk to you later?"
"Kay. Bye."
"Bye."
So, I'm just writing this because I'm bored. And hey, I like reviews. And besides, it would be so sad to see a story go to waste. Hope you liked this story.
