Chapter 16 – Todd and Rocks

Holy crap! Look at this! I updated in a timely fashion! Wow, I amaze myself sometimes. Anyway, as always thank you guys for your reviews they are awesome!

I would like to give special thanks to Mrs. Logan Huntzberger for giving me an idea for this chapter.

Enjoy!

Lorelai drove home slower than usual. She wanted time to think. Had she overreacted? Probably. She probably shouldn't have surprised him like that. She had seen enough TV and movies where girls did that and it did not go well. She was afraid she would get old and never marry anyone. She was afraid of being alone forever. She didn't want to loose Luke. She loved him. He was the first guy she had actually loved. She wasn't really interested in getting married, but she wanted to stay with him. Was that weird? Was it selfish? Maybe it was time for them to see other people. They were both so young. Were they too young to have found their soul mate? Was there a designated time to find your soul mate? Maybe they were just lucky and found each other early in life. She didn't know. All she knew was that she really had no desire to date anyone else but Luke. Maybe he had a desire to date other people. Like Rachel. She made a face at the thought of her name.

She pulled into the driveway and parked in front of the inn. She was exited to see Rory. She hadn't seen her all day.

"Hey Mia." Lorelai said as she entered the inn.

"Lorelai. I didn't expect you for a while." Mia said.

"Oh, yeah. Well, Luke was busy. Ya know, college."

"Yes, well, Rory is sleeping right now. She's in room 6 if you want to see her."

"Thanks for taking care of her."

"Anytime, sweetie."

Lorelai walked up the stairs and went into room 6. Rory looked so peaceful sleeping. She didn't want to wake her up so she just kissed her softly and lied on the bed. She slowly closed her eyes and went to sleep.

"Luke! My man!" Todd said as he walked over to where Luke was sitting in the dining hall.

"Hey Todd."

"What's the matter, man? You looked bummed."

"Me and Lorelai broke up."

"Oh, man. I'm sorry. She was hot too."

"Yeah."

"Do you think she'd be interested in me?"

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah man. She was hot."

"We've established that she's hot. I just broke up with her and you're asking me if I think she'd like you?"

"Yeah. Ya know, give her a shoulder to cry on."

Luke's anger was building. "No I don't think she'd like you."

"You're just sayin' that cause you lost her."

"I'm saying that because I know she wouldn't like you."

"Just give me her number. Come on man."

"No!" Luke yelled. "I'm not going to let you take advantage of her."

"I wouldn't take advantage of her."

"Yes you would." Luke yelled.

"Dude, just cause you couldn't satisfy her…"

"I could satisfy her."

"How many times did you bang her?"

"Bang her?"

"Ya know. Have sex."

"I am not telling you that."

"Right, so none."

"No."

"Well…"

"Just once."

"Wow. No wonder she broke up with you."

"That was not the reason."

"She could probably use a man who could satisfy her."

"Todd, I swear to god if you go anywhere near her I will do something horrible to you with numbers."

"Numbers?"

"That means a lot of people, idiot."

"Hey I am not an idiot."

""I'm serious Todd. Do not go near her if you want to see the age of 19."

"Fine man." Todd said as he headed for the door. "She was ugly anyway."

Luke sat back down and tried to control his anger. He had never been so mad in his life. What the hell was up with Todd? He wanted to date her. What an asshole. What a huge asshole.

Lorelai was playing with Rory in the shed on the floor. Rory searched through the basket of toys, throwing everything on the floor until she found what she was looking for.

"Bebe!" Rory said happily.

"Oh, yeah. Luke gave you that, didn't he?"

"Ya ya. Luke."

"Yeah."

"Luke Luke!"

"What sweetie?"

"Luke!"

"Do you want to see him?"

Rory nodded.

Lorelai picked Rory up off the floor.

"He's at college, hon."

Rory stared at Lorelai as she shoved the bear in her mouth and chewed on it.

"Does that taste good?"

Rory shoved the bear in Lorelai's mouth and giggled.

"Mmm. Tasty. But I think if we go to the inn we can get something really good to eat. Something not as fuzzy."

Rory put the bear back in her mouth and Lorelai carried her into the inn and walked into the kitchen.

"Hey Roger." Lorelai said as she walked into the kitchen.

"Hello Lorelai. Hi Rory." Roger said.

"So, we were wondering if you could make us something delicious."

"Rory looks like she's got something delicious."

"Oh yeah." Lorelai said as she placed Rory on the counter. "I was thinking more along the lines of food."

"I see. Well why don't you go into the dining room and I'll make you guys something."

"Thanks Roger. You're the man."

Roger laughed. "Thanks."

After Lorelai and Rory had eaten a delicious meal of macaroni and cheese Lorelai decided she would go out of a walk. She actually really wanted some good coffee. So, Weston's was the destination. She grabbed Rory and walked leisurely to Weston's.

About fifteen minutes after Lorelai and Rory left Luke pulled up in his truck. He ran over to the shed and knocked on the door. There was no answer. He knocked again and still no answer. Worried and frustrated, he ran into the inn.

"Mia!" Luke called.

"Hello Lucas." Mia greeted warmly.

"Where is she?"

"Where is who?"

"Lorelai! Where is she?"

"She left a few minutes ago. She and Rory went for a walk."

"Ok. Thanks."

Luke ran out of the inn and ran down the street. He left his truck in the driveway. It would take too long to get in the truck and start it. He had to find her. Now.

After he ran for a little he saw her walking out of Weston's.

"Lorelai." Luke said, out of breath.

"Luke? What are you doing here?" Lorelai asked.

"I…I don't want…" He said in between breaths.

"Did you run here from uconn?"

Luke gave her a doubtful look.

"Well, you look like you did."

"Thanks."

"Luke!" Rory said as she reached out her tiny hand towards him.

"Hi Rory." Luke said.

Rory clapped with delight.

"So, what brings you here?" Lorelai asked.

"You." He grabbed her available arm. "I don't want to see other people. I know you think that we're too young to have a serious relationship, but, I think that we're just special. What we have is special and I don't want to loose it."

Lorelai could feel tears coming to her eyes.

"I love you Lorelai Gilmore."

Tears were falling down her face now. He softly wiped them away with his hand.

"Oh, Luke…" She said softly.

He kissed her and she placed her hand on his face. Rory stuck her tiny tongue out and then made a kissy face. Lorelai pulled away and kissed Rory quickly.

"I guess she didn't want to feel left out."

"I guess not."

"You really wanna do this?"

"Yes. I really do."

Lorelai smiled. "Me too."

"Good." He put his arm around her and she leaned her head on his chest.

"Hey Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you too."

Luke smiled. "I love you more."

"Nuh uh. I love you times a million."

"I love you times two million."

"I love you times infinity!"

"I love you infinity times two!"

"I love you infinity…"

He interrupted her by his lips touching hers.

"I guess that means shut up Lorelai."

"Yes it does."

"Don't say no, or anything."

"Ok. I won't."

"You're stupid."

"Hey, I go to college. I'm not stupid."

"You play sports. You're a dumb jock."

"I'm smarter than Todd."

"I know rocks that are smarter than Todd."

"You know rocks?"

"A few. My parents would never let me go out so I made friends with rocks."

"But rocks are outside."

"Ok, you need to play along. My parents were horrible. That's the point."

"Sorry. I get it."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

So I think the next chapter will be the last. I think it's time to wrap this up. So, stay tuned for the last chapter:)
