Disclaimer: Ok, that's enough, the disclaimer is depressing me. No more!
A/N: Ok, not so many reviews, but I get that. I haven't updated in so long, and you people probably can't find it. Ok, so now that I am updating, and it is fresh, please review. I've been really busy, and other stories are higher priority, sorry. I will try and update some of the others I have, sorry if this one sucks a little. Not a filler, but I don't really know what to put. I have a list, you know, and I have to update this one before others, or the system will be messed up. We can not change the system! Sorry the wait was so long, so here you go. Throw me a review now!
STOWAWAY- Chapter 3: How the mighty have fallen…
Lorelai and Luke stumbled back to the room, smiling nervously at each other. As they entered the room, Rory sat on the couch, reading another book. "Hey hon," Lorelai smiled at her. "Don't you do anything besides read?" Lorelai grinned from ear to ear.
Rory looked up, and smiled back at them. "Hey, what have you crazy kids been up to?" She motioned at there wet clothes. "And no, I don't want to do anything to give us away…" Rory said, looking back down at her book.
"It was raining," Luke stated the obvious. Rory nodded, glancing up quickly at the shifting pair.
"Do you want to-" "No, it's ok, you go first…" "Are you-" "Yeah, I'm fine go…" Lorelai said, motioning to the shower. Rory raised an eyebrow. Luke gave in and grabbed some dry clothes, entering the bathroom. The water turned on minutes later, and Lorelai, who was shuffling through clothes, froze. Luke was getting undressed…Gah! Stop! Lorelai's mind was thinking dirty thoughts, and she shook her head.
"Mom?" Rory smirked, seeing her mom's face. "Huh?" Lorelai snapped out of her thoughts.
"Are you ok?" Rory asked, knowing full well the answer. Lorelai bit her lip.
"Luke…asked me to dinner…?" She sort of questioned. Rory's eyes nearly popped out of her head.
"Like a date?" She stage-whispered.
Lorelai nodded, her face expressing nervousness. Rory smiled. "I knew it…" she said after a pause, turning back to her book.
"Knew what?" Lorelai asked, clueless.
Rory continued to read.
"Knew what!"
Rory smirked and turned the page.
Silence…
"Rory?" Lorelai softly asked, her voice nervous.
"Hmm…" Rory half paid attention.
"I-I think I like Luke…" Lorelai whispered. Rory smiled and Lorelai grumbled that she wasn't paying attention.
"We almost kissed…" Lorelai said, knowing that would get her attention. As known, Rory snapped her head up. "What?" She shouted. This she had not expected.
"Help me pick out an outfit…" Lorelai whined, avoiding the subject now that she had her daughter's attention.
Rory sighed. "Now you decide to be evasive…" she shook her head. She stood up and pulled out a dress.
"Whoa! Where did you get that?" Lorelai pointed to the elegant dress, which was a black, short dress, that would reach one's knees. It had a haltered top, and looked as if it could be used for dressy or wild.
"Mom!" Rory smiled. "You bought it…"
Lorelai looked thoughtful, her mind in total shutdown at the shock of the date with Luke.
"Oh yeah…" she remembered after a minute, reminiscing over the little shop they had seen in Warsaw. Who knew the Polish could be so wild?
"How the mighty have fallen…" Rory said, remembering the clothes emergency she had had when she was going on her first date with Dean. Sort of first date…
Lorelai finished gathering her stuff just as Luke stepped out, in a brown shirt and black pants. Lorelai's jaw would have dropped if she had no self control. She stared for a second at his chest, noticing for the first time his muscles. She suddenly grew more nervous than before.
"I-I'm gonna g-go…" Lorelai pointed to the bathroom, unable to finish her sentence. So much for self control.
Lorelai stepped out and straighted her dress. Luke looked up from the ground and his eyes widened.
"Ready?" Lorelai asked, feeling calmer.
"Y-yeah," Luke managed. Rory smiled at the pair as they left and turned back to her book
They sat down at some seats outside a small resturant on the ship. They had a good view of the ocean, and the table was sort of isolated, from the people and the lights.
"Nice..." Lorelai flashed a smile. "Your patented Luke Danes date, restaurant on a cruise by the ocean?" She teased.
"You forgot about the batting cages," Luke joked. Lorelai laughed and Luke grinned widely.
"How could I miss that," she laughed. They shared hidden grins before looking down at their menus.
Eating their food as a normal date would go, Lorelai looked up.
"What are we Luke?"
Luke was taken by surprise. "What?"
"What are we?" Lorelai asked. She put her fork down and put a hand on her head. "I mean, we're really good friends, right?"
"Right." Luke responded.
"Well, we almost kissed today. I think I've emphasized that before," she gave a forced laugh. "If we date, we could screw everything up! I mean- I don't know what I mean." She buried her face in her hands.
Luke stood up and put his hand on her shoulder. "Come on, let's go," he said. Lorelai looked up and gave a choked laugh. "Don't you have to pay?"
"It's on a tab." He said with a small smile. Lorelai stood up and they left.
"What's wrong," he asked her gently as they got to a barren hallway.
"I messed up your whole trip!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"Lorelai..." Luke said soothingly, trying to explain that she didn't.
"No, I did! I mean I came here, and you were having fun with Nicole, and I broke you guys up, then I ruined everything and made you ask me on a date, and I stowed away and everything, and I could get you arrested, I could get you thrown in jail! I could-" Lorelai was cut off as Luke passionately kissed her, pinnng her to the door of the suite. Lorelai clutched to him tightly, kissing him hard, as he parted her lips with his tongue. Lorelai moaned and held him tighter as her legs felt weak.
Breathlessly pulling away, Lorelai looked at him in confusion. "What was that for?" She said in a breathy voice, her arms still wrapped around his neck.
"I was trying to shut you up..." he huskily said.
"Good method," was all she said, crushing her lips against his in a fierce kiss.
A/N: Well, it's probably not my best chapter. I've got other stories on mind, but I will not abandon this one! So, I will update, but in a while. Sorry it took so long in the first place anyways, but please review! I do love those reviews! Anyways, my favorite part was the ending, but sorry if the middle sucked. The date part was kinda forced on me, because I have no idea how they'd act, so I kinda chopped it up and threw stuff in their. The beginning too, so sorry about that. Anyways, review!
