Chapter 15 - Home for the Weekend
Thanks to all my reviewers! You guys are amazing!
"Ok, so, I'll talk a little about the history and origin. And you can talk about the treatments and how the disease effects the body." Rachel said as she paged through her notes.
"Sounds good." Luke said. "Don't we need a visual too?"
"Oh, right. Yeah we do. What should we do?"
"A poster is always good."
"Great. I can do that."
"I can help you. I don't want you to have to do everything."
"It's fine. You did your part. Besides, I actually like making posters. I like creating things."
Luke shrugged. "Ok. If you want to."
Rachel smiled and looked up into his eyes. Luke was totally unaware of Rachel's gaze. After a short silence he looked up. His eyes widened.
"Rachel..." he started.
Rachel leaned in and her lips landed on his. He quickly pulled away.
"Rachel..I - I .." He couldn't even speak. He was so shocked.
"I'm sorry Luke. I'm so sorry." Rachel said, embarrassed.
She quickly gathered her things and headed for the door.
"Rachel, it's just...I have a girlfriend. At home. I should have told you."
"No, I shouldn't have done that." She looked at the ground. "I'll do the poster and see you in class on Tuesday."
She quickly walked down the hallway and down the stairs. Luke was still trying to figure out what happened. Where did that kiss come from? He had no idea she like him like that. He rubbed his face with his hands and sighed.
He walked over and sat on his bed. Lorelai was right. There were some crazy girls here. Rachel wasn't really crazy. He just was totally not expecting that. She kissed him. His whole body shuddered. He could not tell Lorelai what happened. She would worry that he was with other girls. Even though she would say it was ok, she would worry. He looked over at his clock. 2:30, it read. He got up and grabbed his coat and walked out the door.
He pulled up to the inn and grabbed the flowers and stuffed bear he bought. He walked up to the shed and knocked on the door.
"Luke!" Lorelai screamed. She jumped up into his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist.
"Hey." He whispered in her ear as he tightly put his arms around her. After a few minutes he returned her to the ground.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Well, I just thought I would.."
Luke was interrupted by her lips on his. She moved her hands up to touch his face and he dropped the stuff he was holding and pulled her in closer. Once they needed oxygen, they broke apart.
"So, you were saying?" She said sweetly.
He smiled. "I thought I would come home for the weekend." he said. He bent over and picked up the flowers and the stuffed bear. "These are for you." He said as he gave her the flowers.
"Oh Luke...they're beautiful." She put them up to her face and smelled them. She kissed him sweetly and pulled him inside. He sat on the bed and she unwrapped the flowers and put them in water.
"Where's Rory?" he asked.
"In her crib."
Rory pulled herself up and stared at Luke from her crib. She reached out her hands towards him.
"Luke." she said.
Luke smiled and walked over to her. He picked her up and softly kissed her on top of her head. Lorelai smiled. Luke was so good with Rory. She couldn't believe it. He used to be so scared of her.
"I got ya something." Luke said. "It's a bear." He gave it to her and she grabbed it with her tiny hands.
"Be be." she said.
"I guess that's how she says bear." Luke said to Lorelai.
"Yeah." she said as she walked over to them. "Does it have a name?"
"Be be!" Rory said.
Lorelai laughed. "Ok. Be be. That's a good name."
"I like it." Luke agreed.
"So, you haven't really told me about school. What's college like?"
Luke froze. His mind immediately went to Rachel. He put Rory back in her crib and walked over to Lorelai's bed and sat down.
"Uhhh..it's good. I have this project due Tuesday."
Lorelai sat down next to him. "Really? What's it about?"
"It's a presentation on The Black Plague."
"Ewwww. You have to talk about a disease?"
Luke laughed. "Yeah."
"I'm so glad you came." she said softly as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"Me too." he said. "I should go see my dad and Liz."
"You came to see me first?" she put her hand over her chest. "How romantic." she said playfully.
He kissed her once more and got up to leave.
"I'll see ya tonight."
"Ok. Thanks for the flowers."
"You're welcome."
"And if Rory could say thanks for the bear, she would."
Luke laughed. "See ya later."
That evening Lorelai asked Mia to watch Rory so her and Luke could have some time alone. She put on her black mini skirt and purple tank top with sparkles on it. She brushed her hair and put on some pink shiny lipgloss. She liked getting dressed up for Luke. It was fun. She heard a knock at the door so she did one last check an opened the door.
"Hey." she greeted.
"Hi. Wow. You look great."
"Oh this old thing?"
He rolled his eyes and kissed her.
"May I come in?"
"Of course."
"So, where's Rory?" he asked as he sat down on the bed.
"She's with Mia."
"There must be something special going on tonight."
She smiled. "I just thought we should have some time alone."
"Ah, I see."
He looked into her beautiful blue eyes. He remembered the first time he saw her. He instantly knew he loved her. It was something he had never experienced before and he liked it. But, her eyes were the first thing that caught his attention. They were a deep true blue. His thoughts were interrupted but Lorelai's lips crashing onto his.
It started out just quick soft kisses. But soon the kisses were deepened and tongues touched. Lorelai pushed him down and they were both lying down on the bed. Lorelai started unbuttoning his shirt and kissed his chest. He tried to pull down her skirt but it wasn't working out and she started laughing.
"What?" he said.
"Do you need help?" she asked between giggles.
His cheeks reddened. "You couldn't have worn pants like a normal person?"
She quickly slipped off her skirt and took off her tank top.
"I figured you would probably have trouble with that too."
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Definitely." she said confidently. "Are you?"
"Yeah." he said as he pulled her back down and they resumed kissing. Soon all the clothes were off, strewn randomly around the shed. Luke seemed to know all of her spots. He knew how to treat her, how to make her feel like a women. They truly were making love.
