Lorelai kept waking up all night long. She couldn't sleep! And when she did doze off her thoughts of Luke ran wild. She was positively itching to get to the Diner that morning. She already knew exactly what she would wear that day. Being she couldn't sleep, it was something to think about. Ohhhh, wow this felt right. Something in her right away felt really really right. Luke was the One. She could feel it. He was her One and only. They had flirted for years, and who knew that he actually meant something by it! She had always hoped that he meant something by it, but she didn't really believe it. Luke liked her, HER! Luke liked her, Lorelai Gilmore, with enough emotional baggage to need a second or third seat in an airplane. He had chosen her. And in a few short hours, they would get to talk about it. Oh, but sure, her heart was already having doubts. She had made so many mistakes, hurt so many guys. Besides herself being hurt so many times. What if he got to know her and backed away. Her One. That would kill her. Oh, all she wanted was to get to the Diner and kiss Luke again. In Luke's kiss all doubts were washed away, and the certainty that this was the love story written just for her was very clear.
So Lorelai called her best friend. Yeah it was late, but she needed Rory. She just hoped that they would actually be able to talk this time, instead of the million tries this week. After 3 rings, Rory answered the phone groggily.
"Hello?" she said, trying to figure out who was calling her, and hoping that nothing was horribly wrong.
"Hey Rory…..umm the unthinkable just happened"
"You and Grandma hugged and kissed and made up for everything ever to go wrong in your relationship?"
"Um no, that's……..well that…. just isn't going to happen." She replied, not being able to think what that would mean if that were actually to happen. "Luke kissed me" She said, waiting for Rory's response.
"Ummmmm wow did that just happen, or was there something before that?"
"I cried on him, and then walked into the store, and he showed up there too, and he kissed me. Then he ran off! I don't know what to do or think…….does he really like me? Why did he leave like that? He didn't even give me a chance to kiss him back. Right before, things felt a little weird but I wasn't expecting that! I just don't know what to think."
"Mom, you're going to have to talk to Luke. All I know is that you two have flirted an awful lot to not really care about each other. Just go talk to Luke in the morning."
"Okay… I can't wait though you know? It's really good to hear from you though hon."
"You too mom, talk to you again during waking hours?"
"Sure, goodnight"
"Goodnight"
Then Lorelai know she couldn't wait. It was 4am and Lorelai couldn't sit in bed worrying any longer. She jumped in the shower, and did her hair, threw the clothes on that she had been dreaming of wearing for Luke, and walked outside. It was obviously still dark and colder then she thought that it would be…..she pulled her jacket around her tighter. Lorelai was going to find out once and for all if this was real. She was going to relieve her mind of her doubts.
Luke wasn't doing much better. He was kicking himself for being such an idiot for running away after kissing Lorelai. Sure, he was happy- he had just kissed the love of his life……but did he have to be such an idiot? Danes, she is going to laugh in your face tomorrow morning. But then he sighed. He had finally done it, he had kissed Lorelai Gilmore. After watching her go out with a million losers, she just might be his now. He knew that he would cherish her. Or at least try to. All he knew that he was scared and excited for tomorrow morning to come. While Luke was tossing in bed, he heard something hit his window. His mind instantly knew who it was…..Lorelai was here to find out what was going on. Luke sighed and got up. He looked out the window and waved to let her know that he was coming down, and then threw clothes on. He raced down the stairs and opened the door. Luke couldn't remember that last time he had been so scared.
When Lorelai saw his face, she let out an audible sigh. It was all in his eyes- he loved her. There wasn't a doubt in his mind what his feelings were. But he was scared to death about what she thought. She didn't know what to say, so she said the first thing that came to mind; "After all this time- I never thought" Lorelai actually had no words to say. She let the look she hoped was in her eyes be enough.
And Luke sighed happily. Okay, she was with him on this. Now they needed to take care of somethings. "Lorelai, do you really want to start this?" Luke started.
"Of course" she whispered.
Luke let a moment or two pass before saying "Okay, well then, lets get you some coffee and we'll talk about this" Luke said and as he turned around he smiled. The one thing that he had hoped for 8 years was coming true right in front of his eyes. He was having a hard time keeping up with everything going on. But for now Luke and Lorelai were starting something, and both were really excited. And after he handed her the coffee, without a fight, Luke and Lorelai talked until the first customers came to eat at Luke's Diner.
