SonnyAngel- I had a feeling that Friday night dinner reference would confuse people. Rory's still about 5, I didn't skip again.. I just meant that the night played out like the Friday night dinners we know today.
Okaay I totally almost forgot I was writing a story again until I started wanted to create another one and I was like holy craps I already have one! I'm so sorry you guys. Okay where did I leave off? Right the kiss.. OKie sorry sorry sorry I'll try to make this one extra long to make up lost time.
As they both pull away from the kiss, Lorelai runs inside shutting the door behind her.
"Oh my God, oh my God" She says, a little confused.
"What's wrong?" Rory asks, picking her head up from the couch. Lorelai had forgotten Rory was there and she was quickly pulled out of her train of thought. She looked at Rory looking back at her.
"Oh um.. Nothing" Lorelai lied, badly.
"Moooom" Rory said. How am I supposed to tell my five year old kid that I just kissed the man who supplies the fries?
"I umm" she began, trying to think up a good lie. "Luke just umm.. he dropped a hammer on his foot. I have to go get a first aid kit" She told Rory as she walked fast paced away from the living room, shaking her head. Dropped a hammer? You moron! You can't come back to the living room empty handed find something to pretend with at least. Lorelai bent down and opened the cabinet under the sink, searching for something. Unnoticed, Rory walked in, and stared at her mother a few seconds before saying anything.
"We don't have a first aid's kit, mom" Rory informed Lorelai. Lorelai looked up at Rory, embarrassed.
"We don't, do we?" She said stumped. "Well I guess I'll go out and take Luke home so he can get something on his foot." Lorelai said avoiding any further confrontation. At that moment, loud hammering came from the porch again. Lorelai cursed Luke under her breath as she began running to the front door. "What are you doing?" She screamed the second she flung the door opened.
"Haven't we been through this, I'm fixing your porch railing?"
"But you're very badly hurt. You dropped a hammer on your foot and I went to go get you a first aid's kit. I can't find one, I'm gonna have to bring you to your own house, so we can at least get something on that!" Lorelai tried to signal to Luke and Rory came walking out the front door.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Luke asked, confused.
"You know, the hammer" She said, and once again glanced in Rory's direction to try to get Luke to cooperate. Luke looked at Lorelai confused for a few more seconds until he finally understood.
"Ohhhh yeah… Owww" He said, holding his foot and putting on a very bad act.
"Rory grab your coat and some shoes for both of us." Rory agreed, even though she was well aware that there was nothing wrong with Luke. Lorelai put Luke's arm around her shoulder and he pretended to limp down the stairs using Lorelai for support. Rory came back to the car and handed Lorelai her shoes. She put them on and they were off to Luke's. Lorelai carried him upstairs and Rory followed closely.
"Wow, so this is your house." Lorelai said, teasing Luke ever so slightly.
"Yeah" Luke answered.
"I never pictured it this way. I mean, when I pictured your apartment, not that I picture your apartment all the time, just whenever I have, it never looked like this."
"Oh no?" Luke asked.
"No, I picture more, rugged, backwards baseball cap and unshaven Luke down in the diner, but the second you open this upstairs door, you entered a whole new world of Martha Stewart curtains, and flowery bedspreads." Lorelai ranted.
"Has anybody ever told you that you should be institutionalized?"
"At least twice a day"
"Just as long as you know" Lorelai smiled at Luke. After a few seconds she was thrown out of her daydreaming after realizing Rory was still there. "So umm, how about that ankle?" Lorelai asked.
"I thought he hurt his foot." Rory asked, suspiciously.
"He did I was only kidding." Lorelai covered, once again, badly.
"I need to use the bathroom" Rory announced.
"Right over there" Luke pointed to a small wooden door. Rory thanked him.
"Okay let me bandage you up." Lorelai quickly said the second the bathroom door closed.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Because I said you hurt your foot! How's it gonna look when we bring you home and dont do anything about that?"
"No, I mean lying to Rory." Luke made himself clearer.
"I'm not lying to her I just.. I.. I don't want her to know what happened. She's only five"
"I'm sure she can handle it."
"She's little"
"She's your daughter" Luke argued.
"She's innocent."
"And our kissing is going to change that?"
"Fine" Lorelai said quietly. Only a moment later Rory came walking out of the bathroom. "Okay time to go, kid" Lorelai said grabbing Rory's arm.
"You didn't even do anything for his foot."
"I know, he'll be fine." Lorelai told her, trying to hurry her out of the room. Rory tried to protest but Lorelai kept cutting her off. "Bye Luke," She said, closing the door behind her. Neither Rory or Lorelai tried to say anything before they got to Lorelai's car. The second they got in Lorelai turned straight to Rory, and sighed. "I gotta tell you something kid. You might not like it, and if it's even the least bit weird for you just tell me, and it'll be over."
"What happened?" Rory asked a bit worried, but pretty sure what had happened.
"I think I'm dating Luke." She blurted out fast. Rory was silent. "Did you hear me?" Lorelai asked after a moment of silence. "Are you okay? Is this weird? It's weird isn't it, I should tell him no? What are you thinking, kid?"
"That's great." Rory finally said, with a smile on her face.
"Really?" Lorelai asked confused.
"I promise." Rory told her. She was almost genuine. She was sincerely happy for her mom, and the fact that she was dating wasn't weird, Lorelai dated a lot. Usually though, Rory didn't know the person, or hardly met the person. Lorelai's dating life was separate from Lorelai and Rory's life. Although it was weird, she kind of liked knowing and being part of Lorelai's love life. With Rory's answer, Lorelai smiled very widely.
"Thanks, kid" She said, and they drove off.
Returning to the house, Lorelai ran to the living room and sat on the couch, Rory was close behind. "Need sleep!" She screamed the second she got to the couch. "How dare Luke come over here at 8:00 and start working?" The girls once again fell asleep, quickly, seeing as neither of them had bothered to change from their pajamas. It was almost noon when Lorelai and Rory woke up again. Lying there for a good half an hour, motionless and silent, Lorelai and Rory tried to convince themselves to get out of bed. Finally, Rory made the first move and Lorelai was not far behind.
"What do you want for breakfast?" Lorelai asked, as she stretched.
"Luke's!" Rory shouted.
"Okay go get dressed, meet you in the same place in 10 minutes." Lorelai said, and they both ran in separate directions to their rooms. In exactly 15 minutes they met back in their spots. "Okay, off to Luke's" Lorelai said grabbing her coat and handing Rory hers.
"Coffee, coffee, coffee!" Lorelai screamed, opened the door to Lukes.
"Hot Cocoa!" Rory screamed.
"I'm surprised she hasn't started drinking coffee yet."
"Oh come on Luke. We have to wait until she's atleast 6, what kind of mother do you think I am?" Lorelai laughed. Luke set down some coffee mugs pouring what was requested of him. "Hey Luke can I talk to you?" Lorelai asked.
"Sure." Luke said, stopping what he was doing.
"No, I mean in private." Lorelai said. "Could we go back there?" She asked, pointing to the back room where Luke kept all of his food.
"Nope, sorry. Insurance covers me, and me only."
"How about your apartment?" Lorelai asked.
"Sure," He said, heading toward the door.
"Hey Kirk, can you look after Rory for me, this will only take a sec."
"Umm.. I'm not good with kids." Kirk informed her.
"Its okay, you'll hardly notice she's there" She told him, not waiting for a response. She walked up to Luke's apartment, right behind him. "I told her." Lorelai said, closing the door behind her.
"And..."
"What are we doing exactly, Luke? Are we dating or what?"
"That was my intentions." Luke looked a little confused. Lorelai smiled.
"Good." She walked over to the chair he was sitting in and sat on his lap. She kissed him passionately. "I've been waiting for this for so long." Luke looked at Lorelai stunned. He had no idea that this moment could have happened so much sooner. She had been returning the feelings he had for her since the day she walked into the diner. All he could do was smile.
Okay that was pretty damn long, and if it isn't it seemed long to me. Okay so this is your Christmas/Channukah/Kwanza/Whatever gift from me to you. I hope you liked it. I promise to update a lot sooner this time, although I'm not sure how many chapters will be coming. I'm thinking only about 3 maybe 4 but we'll see what happened. Please review.
