Disclaimer- I don't own Gilmore Girls
Something So Simple
Is This A Ploy To Get Me Naked?
I anxiously headed up the stairs, to cut off whatever phone conversation Luke had been having so he could make me the good pancakes. Not the gross ones that Caesar made. I hated the kind Caesar made. They weren't fluffy and weren't all good pancakes fluffy? So as I walked I only had one thought on my mind fluffy pancakes. I opened Luke's door, and saw him sitting listening on the phone. I was about to make my presence known when Luke started to speak.
"Shut up! I'm not her stalker, and I'm sorry, I hate it god of all people in this world why am I in love with Lorelai Gilmore?" Luke demanded of whoever was on the phone.
My jaw dropped. I was petrified from the shock; I think I could have had a heart attack. Luke loved me? Since when! Oh my god I had to go disappear.
"Why? You know it already…" Luke said.
I couldn't move, damn feet go! Go feet! You need to move! Damn you feet!
"No I'm in the apartment, and Lorelai's in the diner." He explained.
No I was not in the diner! Wrong, wrong! I was here listening to this very pleasant conversation. Okay pleasant it was not, shocking? Yes. Insulting? Perhaps. But pleasant? Nope. Right, make those feet move. You have got to get out of here.
"What? No." Luke said turning around.
Oh shit!
For a second we just looked at each other and then he said exactly what both of us were thinking, "Oh crap!"
We continued to look at each other. Neither of us said anything until Luke told whoever was on the phone, "I'll call you back later."
He hung up the phone and just stared at me and then he said, "How much did you hear?"
And then for a second I didn't have the ability to talk, "Since um I'/m not a stalker, I hate it thing."
"Right." He whispered.
"Yeah." I say, "What a pleasant way of finding out someone loves you, huh?"
He looked at me, "You were eavesdropping!"
I shook my head, "I was not! I was going to come up here to tell you that I wanted the fluffy pancakes, and then I walk in right when you said you know…it."
"And you couldn't at least let me know you were here?" He demanded.
"Luke, I was going to but then you said it. And I was just shocked. I was paralyzed nothing could move." I explained.
We were both silent for awhile and then I looked at him, "For how long?"
He stared at me, "What?"
"For how long." I repeated, "How long have you felt this way?"
"I don't know, I think since we first met, but I didn't realize it until like three months ago." He told me.
"Three months Luke? That's a shit load of time to keep something like this from me!" I yelled.
"I know Lorelai. I know! I just didn't want to…" Luke started.
"What? You didn't want to what?" I snapped.
"Ruin our friendship." He finished.
I looked at him tears in my eyes, "Luke. It wouldn't have ruined our friendship if you had just told, now I don't know Luke."
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"To think that you could keep something like that from me for months, it just feels like I've been lied to. And I don't know Luke, I need time to think." I told him.
"Okay." He whispered.
We both stood there and then I gave him a quick hug and left. Ran out of the diner, with Rory running behind me.
After mom had went upstairs my cell phone had started ringing, "Hello?" I answered.
"Hello fiancé of mine." Jess said.
"Hey, I haven't talked to you in what twenty minutes?" I joked.
He laughed, "True, but this isn't a call for pleasure, it's pure business."
"Business? Eh?" I asked.
"Yes." He answered.
"I'm intrigued. What's the business?" I asked.
"Your mom just overheard Luke tell me that he loved her." Jess said.
"What?" I shrieked.
"Yep, I just thought you should be aware. I have to go to work; I'll talk to you later. Give love to your stomach. And no coffee." He warned.
"Wait Jess…" I said, but it was too late he had already hung up.
"Mom." I whisper as I go into her room to find her on her bed.
"Luke loves me." She whispers.
I nodded, "Yeah I know."
"Rory now is not the time for teasing." She snapped.
"I know mom, but I do know." I Said.
She shrugged, "He felt this way for three months and never told me!"
"I'm sorry." I whispered.
"He wasn't going to tell me. If I hadn't overheard I would have never known." She cried.
"I'm sorry." I repeated.
"I just, you know I thought we were friends. I mean aren't friends supposed to tell friends these things?" She demanded.
"Mom, you kept Max and dad from him for months." I reminded her.
"But that's different! I didn't want to hurt him." She said.
"Maybe that's why he kept it from you." I suggested.
"What? That makes no sense." Mom shouted.
"Maybe he knew this would be your reaction. And he didn't want to hurt you." I said.
"No! If he had told me in the first place I wouldn't have been angry, I would have been happy!" She decided.
"Does that mean you love him too?" I asked.
"Yeah, yeah it does!" She said and got up.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"I have to tell him." She shouted and with that she was gone.
I ran out of the house faster than I even knew physically possible. As I ran I felt raindrops slowly falling down on me. Damn it! I was a fan of the snow, but rain. Not especially. I groaned as I continued to run the rain slowly sinking into me. I looked at my outfit a blue shirt and a jean short. By the time this run is over, I'm going to be soaked. And it's going to wreck my hair, and who knows maybe with my hair wrecked Luke will forget he loves me.
Right, Lorelai calm down.
You're going to tell Luke you love him and it's all going to be fine! You'll kiss and be like Laura and Luke, hey isn't that ironic? They both have L's and the guys name is Luke and my name is like Laura, hmm coincidence.
Wait, I don't want Luke to rape me or for me to turn out going insane! How about Ross and Rachel? Yeah that works. Okay so Luke and me will turn into Ross and Rachel consider it a plan. I know I'm getting closer to the diner, and I hear Patty yelling after me, "Lorelai, come inside you're going to get a cold!"
"It's okay Patty. I'll be fine."
"So school starts next week." Lane said.
I nodded, "Yeah I'm helping Paris move into her dorm at Yale."
Lane raised an eyebrow.
"Right let me rephrase that. Mom and Luke are helping Paris move into her dorm. I'm just going to watch." I say.
"Yeah so Stanford starts soon too, and well Dave and I need to get ready. So we're going to be leaving in two days." Lane said really fast.
"What? Two days?" I asked tears in my eyes.
"Yeah but don't worry I'll be back when you have that baby." Lane promises.
I have full on tears in my eyes, "Why does California take everyone I love?"
"Wait, what Rory?" Lane asks.
"Everyone I love goes to California. First Jess, and now you! What's next Paris?" I demand.
"Rory…" Lane starts.
"No don't Rory me. I've been fine with Jess leaving in fact I encouraged it. What if he likes California so much that he doesn't come back?" I cry.
"Rory, that's not going to happen," She whispered.
"It might and I don't want California to take you away from me too." I admit.
"It won't." Lane promises and hugs me.
"I really hope not." I cry into her shoulder.
I approached Luke's and saw the sign said 'Closed'. I pounded on the window, I was soaked, but I needed to see him, to tell him. I heard the steps creaking and I saw him come down, I smiled. And then I saw his face when he saw me; it was shock and concern.
He ran to the door, "Lorelai, what are you doing here?"
I grabbed him slightly and pulled him out into the rain with me, and soaking wet as I was. I kissed him. And as my tongue danced carefully through his mouth, I realized how right it was he kissed back and gently pushed me against the window. I moaned slightly, and continued kissing him. It felt so good, so right.
"I love you." I whispered.
He looked at me and said gruffly, "Let's get you out of those wet clothes."
I smirked, "But I'm having so much fun kissing, and you don't have any women's clothes upstairs."
"Lorelai…" Luke said.
"Oh," I smirked, "This is a ploy to see me naked."
"Well the kissing can continue." Luke added.
"In that case, lets go upstairs! But now I think you need to get out of your wet clothes because I dragged you out so far in the rain." I told him.
"What but Lorelai I'm not wet." He said.
"Luke." I whined pushing him inside.
"Oh you want to see me naked too." He smirked.
I rolled my eyes and dragged him upstairs.
AN: Okay I hope that was good! I was thrilled with it, but then againit doesn't matter what I think. Tell me what you think!
