A/N- God I still have one more day of school. I go until the 2nd. By the time you read this though I will probably be out. Who knows. Guess what I forgot to put my quote of the day. Just slipped my mind so I will put two for you to enjoy. I am going to try and read all of the books on the Rory's booklist thing so far I have only read twenty of them. I am working on A Confederacy of Dunces I highly recommend it especially if you are from a big city or the south like me. It takes place in New Orleans which is about two hours directly West of me so its cool. It is extremely funny. I am also starting to read The Power of Myth. And then for school I have to read The Ox Bow Incident, The Stranger, All the President's Men, and Johnny Got His Gun for summer reading. I have my work cut out for me. I just watched "Airplane" it's a crazy funny movie a little crude but it is hilarious.
Quote of the days: The first two are from the best part of Saturday Night Live, Weekend Update- "South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds on Monday signed legislation banning almost all abortions in the state.

Chapter 3: We Can't Rewind We've Gone Too Far
"So what do you think of renting a movie no scary ones though because nothing can top the horror I just experienced with just one dinner with my mother. It was like the entire night was shower sequence in Psycho and I was Marion Crane." Lorelai said as she and Rory were driving back from Friday night dinner.
"Mom you are so dramatic if dinner was like that then you would be institutionalized." Rory said knowing very well that her mother could exaggerate just a little bit.
"Who says I shouldn't." Lorelai rounded the gazebo and drove in front of the diner. "Looks like Luke is getting ready tomorrow his boat looks pretty big doesn't it. Too bad you won't be able to go with us." Lorelai said as she was watching Luke hitch his boat to his old Chevrolet.
"Well make sure you take a lot of pictures. I know you will want a constant visual reminder of Luke without a shirt on. I hear around town that he works out a lot." Rory said waiting for her mother's reaction. The entire week she was hinting at things that would make her mother defensive about her non-existent relationship with Luke.
"He works out?" Lorelai said thinking that was impossible because of his long work days. "hmmm." God I can only imagine what he would look like with a six pack and big muscular arms. I love men with strong backs.
"Mom why are you smiling?" Rory asked already knowing the answer.
"Because I can't wait to go fishing tomorrow!" Lorelai said with a huge grin.
"I never thought I would hear those words coming out of your mouth." Rory said hoping that this excitement would help her mother see what was right in front of her.
It was 7:00 in the morning and Lorelai was awoken from her sleep from a really loud mooing sound in her ear. "ugh" she half heartedly reached over the bed to shut the alarm off and drifted back to a peaceful slumber. If anyone interrupted her they would probably suffer serious consequences.
One hour later Rory had left for her Franklin day and left Lorelai to sleep a little bit longer before she left for her day of romance. Luke arrived at the crap shack about ten minutes later and rung the doorbell. After standing there for about five minutes, he quietly made his way inside to see what Lorelai was doing. When he didn't see her anywhere he decided to make his way upstairs. He stood at the door for a while to see if he heard her. He cracked the door open just enough to see her still sleeping flat on her stomach and halfway hanging off of the bed. He walked up to her and sat beside her on the bed just watching her sleep. A few seconds later he decided to rub her shoulder to see if she would wake up. Instead she just made a sighing sound and flipped onto her back with her eyes closed but in pointing straight up at Luke who was hanging over her looking down.
"Lorelai" Luke whispered. "psst"
Lorelai slowly opened her eyes but as soon as she did she realized she was holding Luke's hand and he was rubbing her other arm. "Holy shit!" she screamed and leaped out of the bed but was still holding onto Luke's arm and they both tumbled onto the floor. They both landed in a heap on the floor with Luke on top of Lorelai. Lorelai was wearing a tight jogging top and no shorts because the weather was starting to get toasty and she was comfortable that way.
About that time Rory made her way upstairs because she had forgotten one of her folders in her mother's room earlier that morning. When she opened the door she gasped at what she saw Luke on top of her mother who was wearing barely anything but a hug smile on her face.
"Wow mom got right to it didn't you?" Rory said smiling.
"What the hell are you doing here." Lorelai said as Luke jumped off of her with a panicked look on his face.
"This is not what it looks like Rory your mom just didn't wake up so I came up here to uh… wake her up and.. She just got surprised and we both just fell off the bed." Luke said in a nervous tone.
"So you were on the bed too?" Rory said secretly enjoying torturing Luke like this.
"Well I was you know…" Luke said loosing his train of thought as he noticed Lorelai's sparse wardrobe for the second time that week.
"Oh of coarse I do" Rory said in a sarcastic voice and a wide grin looking the direction of her mother who was having difficulty pulling her short shirt down past her waist.
"So umm… continue" Rory motioned with her hands and backed out into the hallway and ran down the stairs and out the door.
Back in the room Luke was really trying to not look at and very underdressed Lorelai while Lorelai was trying to figure out the best way to get to out of this predicament.
"So uh… I guess I should change" Lorelai said motioning to her clothes hanging on the chair.
"Right well um I'll just go down stairs and wait for you" Luke said and quickly exited the room to a less distracting environment.
Well that was embarrassing. Lorelai thought as she put her bikini on and tank top and shorts over it. Great way to start a day alone with Luke. I practically jumped on him with barely any clothes on. Oh my God Rory thinks we were making out! Shit that whole situation just proved her right. Lorelai made her way down the stairs with her bag full of sun block and towels.
"So are you ready to go" Luke said as he walked up to Lorelai and help her gather her things.
"Of coarse, I brought a radio, and some other things because I know you wouldn't think of that and you have food right because let me tell you I can eat." Lorelai babbled trying to forget their compromising situation earlier.
"I am aware of your disgusting eating habits, and I did bring food." Luke smiled.
"Good so shall we?" Lorelai motioned towards the door.
Forty five minutes later and the mornings activities nearly forgotten Lorelai and Luke were on the boat riding around the Lake.
"So Luke can I drive, what's the boat's name?" Lorelai asked as she was sitting on the front and looking back at Luke. "Umm it doesn't have a name. And yes if you come over here you can drive just don't wreck, make any sharp turns, let go of the steering wheel, close your eyes, or get distracted in anyway." Luke said nervous about handing his boat over to a overly eager Lorelai.
"Jeez Luke the only thing that could distract me is you." Lorelai said Flirtatiously. oh crap did I say that out loud.
"well I won't take my shirt off then" Luke said in a monotone voice playing along with her joke because although he wished it wasn't that is all it was to him.
"Don't let me stop you, take it off!" Lorelai said. Oh my God I need to shut up what in the world has gotten in to me?
"Alrighty then" Luke said and lifted his arms and slid his t-shirt over his head and revealed his talked about six back and muscular back.
Lorelai couldn't help but stare as Luke grabbed a water and slapped it on himself to keep cool. What she wasn't paying attention to was what direction she was headed towards. When Luke turned around to see how Lorelai was doing he noticed that they were directed towards a small pier and he ran towards Lorelai and grabbed the steering wheel to turn it quickly before they crashed into the wooden structure.
"Oh my God Luke I am so sorry" Lorelai said. She was really shaken up and was about to cry.
"Hey don't worry about it we you are ok I am ok, no name is ok" Luke said and smiled as he walked up and rubbed her back.
"I guess no more driving huh?" Lorelai smiled.
"I don't think that would be a good idea. I just don't understand how you could have not seen that we were headed straight for the pier." Luke said.
"Oh well uh… I was just not thinking straight." Lorelai said not completely lying or telling the truth.
"Well uh would you want to stop and go to the beach area I can bring the food and we can eat there?" Luke asked.
"Sounds good to me but you have to promise that we can swim" Lorelai said hoping she could see more of the wet Luke that literally nearly killed her.
"Sure, ok well I am just going to just ride the boat up the sand and we can both just get out there"
Once they parked the boat Luke jumped out and held his hand out for Lorelai. "Well what a gentleman we have here" Lorelai said in her southern accent. "I bet this is how you get all your girls"
"Just the good ones" Luke said and gave Lorelai a sweet and heartfelt smile before he grabbed her by the waist and ran with her in his arms into the water.
"BUTCH DANES! Put me down or I will uh…" Lorelai had no idea what she could do to get Luke back so she held on tight with her arms strangling his neck and really dreading being dumped in the icy water. Luke ran until the water was to his knees and tried to dump her in the water but she hung on and he lost his balance causing both of them to splash into the water. As Lorelai resurfaced she noticed that Luke was still underwater and started to panic.
"Luke!" She grabbed his shoulder and quickly pulled him to get air but noticed he was laughing really hard at her worried expression.
"You idiot you scared me to death! My God I thought you were hurt or something." Lorelai said with an angry expression plastered on her face.
"That's what you get for nearly running my boat into the pier." Luke said with a laugh.
" Hey I couldn't help that I was distracted." Lorelai but realized that she was about to reveal the fact that she was really staring at Luke's shirtless body.
"Yeah the mystery distraction" Luke said trying to make her even more angry.
"Ok you've had your fun why don't we lay a blanket out and eat our lunch because I am starving. I feel like I could eat enough food to feed the entire state of Connecticut." Lorelai said rubbing her belly. She decided now would be a good time to take her shirt off because it was soaking wet. She lifted it above her head and took it off.
"You grab the quilt and I will get he food" Luke said as he made his way to a clearing near the water's edge.
"Alright I packed you and hamburger, fries, brownie, and some soda to drink, and I brought a salad just incase you miraculously decided to care about your health. So here we are." Luke said and sat on the quilt with Lorelai just staring at the caring and sweet man in front of her.
"What?" Luke said noticing the amazed look on Lorelai's face.
"Nothing I just… this was very nice of you to do all of this, I mean if I was on a date and a man did this for me he would be getting very lucky afterwards." Lorelai said and realized she probably shouldn't have said that. Dear Lord everything I am saying today has come out like I want Luke which I kind of do but he doesn't need to know that. Ok just act like you were joking.
"Which doesn't happen very often because nobody has ever done something like this for me." After and awkward silence Lorelai had an idea. "Hey I am going to get the radio so we can listen to it while we eat." Lorelai said and came back a few moments later with her radio and some sun block. The first song that came on was Strange and Beautiful by Aqualung.
To me, you're strange and you're beautiful,
You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see,
You turn every head but you don't see me.
These three lines hit a chord with Luke because they basically explained exactly how he felt about the woman sitting three feet away from him.
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realise that you love me.
Jeez that is exactly what happened this morning. Luke thought and he looked over at lorelai who was noticing the familiar scenario that the artist sung so accurately.
"Hey would you want to go swimming again since I didn't really get to enjoy it as much before?" Lorelai said referring to being dunked into the water. Although it did have some great benefits.
"Let's go you can lay your clothes in the sun so they can dry off." Luke said as he took his shirt off for the second time that day. Lorelai went to put her clothes on a log and ran back over to Luke.
"Ok although it would be nice to get a tan sunscreen is a must because last time I went swimming I was baked. Here I will do your back if you do mine." Lorelai said secretly enjoying this opportunity.
While Lorelai was rubbing the cold sunscreen onto Luke's back she started day dreaming and got a little carried away and wrapped her arms around Luke. She rubbed down his arms and his six pack.
Although Luke was definitely enjoying the extra attention he was feeling a little light headed and knew for sure he couldn't take much more.
"Uh- humm" Luke cleared his throat.
"Oh my God just got a little carried away didn't I? Do you work out? Rory told me that she heard you worked out. How do you have the time, I mean you are either fixing stuff at my house or dealing with the town at the diner?" Lorelai babbled.
"Lorelai! To answer your question I do have time to work out ocassionly." Luke added.
"Well it pays off who would have know we have our own Mr. Universe in Starshollow?" Lorelai said will she was still resting her arms on Luke's back.
"I am just surprised that you aren't like 300 lbs. I mean you eat like a football player minus the health food and exercise and you can just put a bikini on and look like a model." Luke said as he turned around and looked Lorelai up and down.
"Luke, your making me blush" Lorelai said quietly as she folded her arms over her bare stomach.
"Well you do." Luke said as he inched towards Lorelai.
Although Lorelai really wanted to kiss the man in front of her she was not mentally ready she was still thinking about his previous comment.
"Umm… oh uh Rory wanted me to take pictures so she could see what she missed so here I will just sit right by you." Lorelai said and she sat right next to Luke and pressed her cheek against his and wrapped her arm around his waist so they would both fit in the picture. She stretched her other arm far out in front of their faces and said smile. Right before she snapped the shot she turned her face towards Luke's and pressed her lips right onto his cheek. Flash.
Luke was very surprised by this action and turned to look at Lorelai who then dropped her camera and put both of her hands on either side of his face and pressed her lips to his. It took a few minutes for Luke to get a hold of the situation but when he did he put his arms around Lorelai's bare back and lowered her onto the blanket that they were on. Lips still connected, their hand roamed but they finally had to pull away because of their desperate need for oxygen.
"Well that was nice" Lorelai said as Luke brushed the sand off of her cheek.
"You had sand on your face" Luke said trying to explain his gentle action.
"Well uh I guess we should clean up here. Do you want to swim or what?" Luke asked.
Lorelai was beginning to get nervous because Luke didn't seem to be phased by the kiss and was just ignoring the fact that it happened.
"Luke we just kissed." Lorelai said.
"I know" Luke said nervous that she was having second thoughts. He just wanted to fast forward through he whole conversation they were about to have.
"Look, if you want to forget about it I think I will be okay with that." Luke said quickly.
"I don't do you, I mean that was like a long time coming right?" Lorelai said shyly.
"For me at least." Luke said
"Me too"
Lorelai inched over to Luke and put her hand around his neck and softly touched her lips to his. Luke quickly reciprocated and they were making out on the beach like in all those romantic movies that Lorelai never thought were possible. It was a delightful fairy tale come to life and they were the main characters.
