What just happened? Well, I know what happened. I just kissed Lorelai and she ran! Oh no, she regreted it. God, I'm such an idiot!
Luke stood in the doorway of the room for a good ten minutes before fully comprehending what had just happened. What could possibly forever change his and Lorelai's relationship. He quickly made his way downstairs and wound up with Lorelai's office door staring him in the face. Luke knew that he and Lorelai had to talk about what had happened but he wasn't sure that he could face her again if she regretted the kiss. He sure as hell didn't but he didn't want to tell her that for a fear of rejection that he knew he couldn't handle right now. Especially from Lorelai Gilmore. The woman that he has been in love with ever since the first time she walked into his diner following him around begging for coffee. Finally Luke gets up the courage to knock on Lorelai's door and find out what his future contains. Lorelai as just a friend or Lorelai as everything in his life. Before Luke Danes can finish his thoughts he hears Lorelai's voice.
"Come In." Lorelai is trying to occupy her mind through Inn work but she is failing greatly. Her mind keeps wandering to the kiss. It was short but full of built up tension from many years of avoiding the thousands of dirty thoughts of Luke Danes. She knew that if they didn't talk before the movie night then everything would be uncomfortable and they couldn't watch the movie. When Lorelai heard the knock on the door and then it opening she figured it was just Michel but decided to be nice. It was when she heard footsteps but no annoying french voice she looked up and was surprised at the person standing in the doorway of her office.
"Oh, Luke. Hi." Lorelai said uncomfortably. She really,really wanted to talk to Luke but was scared that he would regret the kiss. Sure she knew what the town had been saying for many years but she refused to believe the rumors even though deep inside she knew they were true Luke never acted on those feelings so how could she know that what the town said was true.
"Hey, um, I was thinking that uh maybe we should talk." God, why is this so hard. Luke slowly walked in but was still standing.
Lorelai looked down. " Yeah. About that.."
She regrets it. God, I'm so stupid! " Look, if you want to we can forget about the kiss. I mean, if you want too."
Lorelai sighs. "Luke...I..uh..don't want to forget the kiss."
Luke is surprised at this realization. "You don't?"
"No. I don't. Do you?" Lorelai says barely above a whisper because she is scared that he regrets it.
"No." he sighs and comes a little closer to Lorelai who is now standing. " Listen Lorelai, I've wanted this for a really long time and I'm thrilled that this is finally happening." At this time Lorelai is smiling and Luke once again has the grin that only Lorelai Gilmore sees.
Slowly Luke and Lorelai meet in their second kiss. This one was better than the first because now they both knew that the other wanted this as much as they did. Reluctantly the pulled apart and rested their foreheads against each other smiling. Quickly Lorelai reaches out and kisses Luke again and this time the kiss is more passionate than the others and within a few seconds they have reached the couch in Lorelai's office and they are in a full on make-out session. After hesitating Lorelai pulls away breathless.
"Luke, I..want to take this slow. I don't want to screw this up like I've done with every other relationship..this one's different. Your my best friend and I don't want to screw this up."
"Your right. I don't want to screw this up either Lorelai." Luke smiles at Lorelai. They kiss and then Luke gets up off of the couch where they were sitting. "So, I'll see you later at the diner?"
"Uh..yeah. Hey, Luke?"
"Yeah?"
"What are we going to tell the town?"
"Do you want to tell the town?"
Lorelai looks down, "Not right now. I wanna keep it between us for now. Is that okay?
"Uh..yeah. Thats fine." Luke smiles at Lorelai. I'm finally with Lorelai. wow.
"I can tell Rory though. Can't I?"
"Yeah. Oh god Rory. She'll be okay with this won't she?"
"Who Rory? She'll be thrilled. She loves you so much Luke."
At this Luke blushes." Yeah, well I love her too. I have to get back to the diner."
"Okay. Rory and I'll be there later." Luke and Lorelai share a quick smile and hesitantly Luke kisses Lorelai.
Smiling Lorelai adds. " I think I'm going to like doing that."
"Me too." With that Luke leaves the inn and Lorelai tries to get back to work but fails miserably.
Since Lorelai couldn't focus she decided to call Rory, this was so big she had to tell someone so Lorelai picked up her cell and dialed the all to familiar number.
"Hello?" Rory answers her phone. Semi annoyed that somene is interuppted her while she was working on finishing The Fountainhead.
"Hey Hun." Lorelai says a little too enthusiastically.
"What did you do?" Rory can tell from her mom's voice that she has done something..good or bad she can't tell yet.
"Why do you think I did something?" Lorelai pretends to be offended.
"Because you have a certain tone that you use when you've done something." Rory goes along with her mother but really wants to know why she is really happy.
"Fine, do you really want to know?" Lorelai asks.
"Yes!"
"Are you sure you really want to know?" Lorelai is just prolonging tellin her daughter about Luke even though she was dying to tell her.
"Mom!" Rory replied anxiously waiting for the answer.
:Okay, Okay. I'm..uh..I..Luke and I are dating." Lorelai sighs happily after she reveals it only to have Rory screamin through the phone.
"Really! Its about time!" Rory says thrilled that they finally realized what was between them.
"Its about time? What does that mean?" Lorelai wonders. Oh yeah, the whole town new what was between us before we did.
"Everyone in this town knows that the two of you are perfect for each other. We've just been waiting for you two to realize it."
"Oh yeah." Lorelai says deadpanned.
"Hey, I have to go but why don't we meet at Luke's in an hour and you can fill me in on how it happened."
"Pkay, but you'll have to wait until we get home to hear about that."
"Why?"
"We want to keep it secret for now because we know that when we tell the town we won't get any privacy."
"Right. Well..I'll see you in an hour."
"Okay. Love you hun. bye."
"Love you too. Bye mom." rory hangs up smiling. Finally!
