Sorry it has taken me a while to update I got in from Chicago last week end and have been really tired out. My trip was really awsome. I saw Blue Man Group which is absolutely fantastic. I have a picture with me and one of them and I got him to put his hand print on my shirt. I also saw the 25th annual Putnam County Spelling Bee musical if you haven't seen it you are totally missing out. I am a huge fan of musicals but this one is by far one of the funniest ones. My dad and I were crying we were laughing so hard. One of the actors plays the vice principle and is the reader of the words that the kids have to spell and usually they ask for a definition and the word in a sentence so here is an example of one of the funny lines: the word was jihad and the sentence that he uses was "quick bobby hide behind the western wall I think I see a jihad comming." I am lauging just thinking about it. I guess you just had to have been there. I also saw Cirque du Soliel Corteo which is like a french circus acrobatic thing it was pretty freakin awsome what the people did. And I did a lot of shopping. I love big cities. And I did a campus tour of DePaul University which is a college I am looking at to go to. It was pretty cool and away from home. So that was my fun summer trip.

Less than four weeks until school starts up again it seem like just yesterday I was taking exams. ugh. Definitely read the spoilers for the seventh season and am already mad at myself to giving into the tempatation. I am still optemistic though about luke and lorelai it just might take a while. Soccer workouts start back up tomorrow my coach said and I quote "Get ready for the worst week of your life" yeah definitely going to be soccer workouts from hell. If I don't post a new chapter within let's say two weeks from this post that means I am physically not able to lift my hand to type or have had some kind of traumatic workout experience and am institutionalized. You think I am kidding well think again my friend.

Disclaimer: I own nothing exept my newest whitestripes poster dude it rocks!

chapter 7: I said 39 times that I love you

Lorelai was shocked. No words could describe what was going through her head. Just a couple of hours earlier Rory calmed her down by saying this is you first date take it one day at a time. That suggestions definitely out of the question right now. All she wanted so desperately to just fling her arms around him and say yes a thousand times. Unfortunately words were not coming out of her mouth. An uncommon occurance for Lorelai who is known by all to talk a mile a minute.

"Lorelai?" Luke said.

A few seconds later a smile slowly spread across her face and a single word escaped her lips that would change her life.

"Yes"

Luke who was basically about to have some sort of internal breakdown waiting for her answer was surprised even more at himself for being so spontaneous. For a man who hasn't changed his wardrobe in years popped the question on his first date. This was defintely a night of firsts for Luke a Lorelai.

"Yes you want to marry me?" Luke asked just to make sure he heard her right.

"Yes Luke I want to marry you" Lorelai said with a smile that covered her entire face.

Luke took both of Lorelai's hands into his and Lorelai moved closer to him so that she was now straddling his legs. They both leaned in and joined in a passionate kiss.

After Luke and Lorelai spent a few more minutes just sitting under the tree they decided that it was getting late and they should head back to Starshollow.

" Hey Luke can we stop by the diner to get some coffee before we go to my house?"

"Yeah I have to pick up a few things anyway."

"Great I can't wait to tell Rory about this I really hope that she is happy about us." Lorelai said. She definitely went agains everything that she said to her that evening.

"She will be"

In the diner Luke fixed Lorelai her coffee and headed upstairs when he got up to his apartment he had one thing in mind and that was to get the engagement ring that belonged to his mother. Every once in a while in the years that his mother was still alive and he was just a little boy he remembered sitting on his mothers lap and being incredibly fascinated with the jewelry on her hands; from braclets to watches and rings. He remembered one in particular that never left her left ring finger, it was antique silver with a large diamond in the middle and three small ones embedded in the shiny metal. He would twirl it around and try to yank it off but was always told by his mother that it was hers and that he would one day give it to the girl that he loved like 'daddy loves me'. I never thought this day would come and that Lorelai would be the one that is going to wear it. He smiled to himself as he turned the knob of the small safe and reached in to get the small black velvet bocks that was stowed away in the back corner of the safe. He grabbed it and made his way down stairs with a anxious smile. Thank God the hard part is over she said yes so all I have to do is slip the ring on her finger.

He made his way down stairs to see a very bored Lorelai in deep concentration. She was trying hard to stick a spoon on her nose by breathing on it. She didn't realize that Luke had snuck behind her and was about to kiss her on the cheek.

"Oh My God Luke" She yelped as she flung the spoon and knocked him right in the face.

"Ouch"

"Well that's what you get for sneaking up on me." Lorelai laughed.

Luke went back behind the counter to start to clean the place up and close.

"Pour some coffee please" Lorelai said as she lifted her empty mug from the counter.

"This coffee is going to be the death of you" Luke said. He turned around to get the mug and decided that then would be the best time to give her the ring. As he grabbed the mug from her hand he also took a hold of her hand. Lorelai looked down and saw him slip the ring on her finger.

"Oh my" Lorelai said. " Luke..." she gasped. "It's beautiful" She held her hand up and rubbed the band with her thumb.

"It was my mother's" Luke said.

She kept a hold of Luke's hand and touched her other hand to his cheek to pull him in for a kiss. The made their way to the end of the counter and rejoined. Lorelai had a small tear trickeling down her cheek. They pulled back and looked at each other.

"I think that We should go tell Rory she might be a little shocked." Lorelai said.

"That's definitely an understatement." Luke said pulling her into his chest.

"Come on" Lorelai took his hand and they headed out the door.

At the house

"Rory me and Luke are here!" Lorelai shouted through the house.

Rory made her way to the living room and met them on the couch.

"How was the date?" Rory asked as Luke decided that he would leave to go to the kitchen.

"It was great we wen't to this restaraunt where Luke knew the owners they are like his parents. They knew all about me because apparently Luke has told them everything they need to know about us." Lorelai said.

"Us?" Rory asked.

"Yeah me and you."

"He was totally pining for you" Rory said with a smile.

"Yeah he was" lorelai spoke softly.

"So? What else"

A small smile krept onto Lorelai face. What else? Oh yeah I got ENGAGED. I can't believe she hasn't seen the ring yet. I won't tell her until she notices it.

"Well we went to this really spooky park. Like it came straight from the Haunting or something. " Lorelai said as she shivered at the thought.

"That does sound scary" Rory said with a similar expression.

"But he said he would protect me so covering the entire park is this huge oak tree and so we went and sat under it. And I ate my dessert and we made out a little." Lorelai smiled at the reaction on her daughter's face.

"I didn't need to know that Beverly. " Rory shot at her mother.

"Hey! she got pregnant, I am not pregnant." Lorelai said. At that point Luke ran into the room when he heard her say pregnant with a horrified look on his face. "See Rory now you have Luke all scared. Luke, I'm not pregnant" She directed at Luke.

"Are you sure?" Luke asked.

"Of course I am sure now go back to the kitchen we are still talking about you." Lorelai said. And with that Luke went back into the kitchen.

"Alright were was I? Oh yeah so after we got all-"

"Mom!"

"Fine, fine, so he told me that this was the tree that his dad proposed to his mother and I thought then was a good time to tell him how I felt so I did and to make a long story short-"

"Uh mom?"

"Yeah?" Lorelai asked.

"Is that?" Rory asked pointing towards her mother left ring finger.

"Yeah" Lorelai said even softer.

"Wow" Rory said. She couldn't believe it.

"He proposed and I said yes and here we are. So what are you thinking right now?" Lorelai asked with waiting for her daughter to respond with full sentences.
