Chapter Two: His Moment has Arrived.

The diner was empty. And dark. The sign on the door read "Closed." Now she was pretty mad. Where the heck was Luke? Lorelai walked up to the door. A little piece of paper taped to the door had "Lorelai" written on it. In Luke's writing. She sighed as she pulled it off. This isn't gonna be good, she thought as she began reading the note.

Lorelai,

I am so sorry. I had to run out of town at the last minute. I'll explain later. There's fresh coffee upstairs in the apartment. Let yourself in. I figured maybe you'd be less mad if I made you some coffee. Yea, yea, it's bribery. So sue me.

Luke.

Lorelai couldn't help but smile as she read the note. She was still upset that their romantic evening was ruined, but loved the fact that Luke knew her so well. Where'd did he have to go? Lorelai thought. I hope nothing's wrong.

She reached above the door frame for the spare key. She let herself into the diner and locked the door behind her. She walked behind the counter toward the curtain leading up to Luke's apartment.

As she turned the corner toward the stairs, a heavenly smell hit Lorelai. As heavenly as Luke's coffee smelled, it was not the smell of coffee. Huh, that's odd, Lorelai thought. She started up the stairs. About halfway up, she realized she was walking on something. She looked down and saw rode petals scattered on the stairs. What is going on? she thought. When she finally reached the apartment, she opened the door and found the room candlelit and the table set for a romantic dinner for two. She looked around to find Luke standing to the side looking at Lorelai with a slight grin on his face.

"I was beginning to think you would never get here," he told her teasingly.

"Luke," Lorelai asked, barely above a whisper. "What is going on?"

Luke walked up to her and took her hand.

"Well, I realize this is a little after the fact but," Luke got down on one knee, still holding Lorelai hand. "Lorelai Gilmore, will you marry me?" His eyes met hers, which were beginning to tear up.

"Well, you see Luke, I'm kinda already engaged," she said with a grin, although her voice was trembling slightly.

"Lorelai," Luke growled with a tone that implied an "aw, geez."

"Yes, Luke, of course I'll marry you." The tears now spilled from her eyes as Luke slid the beautiful ring onto her finger. He stood up and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Happy tears, right?" Luke asked, looking into her eyes again.

"The happiest." Lorelai responded.

Luke pulled her into a hug, and then kissed her deeply. He knew this was the best thing had ever had and ever would happen to him, and he knew he would never be happier, and that things would only get better from here.

Their kiss was interrupted by the oven timer going off. Lorelai suddenly remembered the fancy set up.

"Luke?" Lorelai asked as he made his way over to the stove.

"Yea?"

"Why'd you go through all of this?"

"All of what?" Luke asked, beginning to get a little confused.

"The dinner, pretending you left town, the rose petals….I mean, it's not exactly common Luke behavior." Lorelai explained.

"Well, you beat me to the proposal, but I wanted you to have a special, romantic memory of it. I wanted you to be surprised and to have a real proposal. I wanted to have my moment to sweep you off your feet."

"Luke, you are amazing," Lorelai said. And she meant it. Luke pulled her into another hug. She took a deep breath, breathing in his scent. She never felt safer then when she was in his arms. She knew that no matter what, Luke would never leave her side. There was no way she could screw this up. They were perfect. He had put up with all her crazy tendencies for more then eight years. He'd always been there; through the best of times and the worst of times. Luke would never let her go.

Lorelai was right. This was by no means common Luke behavior. But, when Luke was with Lorelai, he was a totally different person. His rare smiles were reserved only for her. He wasn't his usual, grumpy, monosyllabic self. That gruff exterior vanished when he was with her. She even got to see him without his baseball hat! Luke wanted nothing more then to please Lorelai. She had always been the only one for Luke. And, even though it had taken her eight years to realize it, Luke was the only guy for Lorelai.

She had ruined many a relationship in the past, but maybe that was because they were the wrong relationships. She knew this one was right. It was it for her. For the first time in her life, Lorelai had no desire to run. In fact, the thought had never even entered her mind. She never wanted to be anywhere, ever again, without Luke, who at the moment was stroking her hair. He kissed the top of her head, and then pulled away.

"So, I believe this morning you promised me a delicious meal?" Lorelai recalled.

"Yes, I did. And I think it's just about ready," Luke replied, making his way back to the stove. The room smelled even better now then it had when Lorelai entered the apartment.

"Wow, you really know the way to a girl's heart, don't you?" Lorelai teased.

"Only yours," Luke replied, and their eyes locked again. Both of them knew that they would never be happier.

Tbc….or not tbc?

I have the next chapter written, but I don't know if I'm gonna keep going or not. I feel like this might have been a good place to stop. But, I'll probably at least put up the next chapter. Give me some feedback, people! And some ideas too, please. And don't forget to read my other Gilmore fic, The Whole Package. I'm also gonna try to get my new story up today! Look for it:
