Summary Takes place in the 3rd season during Lorelai out of water. Luke doesn't like Nicole and Alex and Lorelai are suppose to go fishing but she doesn't know how to so Luke offers to teach her.

Disclaimer: If I owned Gilmore Girls this would have happened in the third season instead of what happened.

A/N: Thank you to all of you who still read this even though it had been a while. I am still having issues with writers block but I managed to get another chapter done on the 6 hour drive home from camp. If you have any ideas at all please let me know. I don't want Luke and Lorelai to get together too soon. I want it to show how stubborn both of them can be as you will find out if I ever stop talking . . .

Lorelai's POV

Lorelai walked back to her house, tears streaming down her face, clouding her vision. How can he like that stupid blonde son-of-a-bitch twig lawyer tramp? (Thanks to LukeNLorelai637 for the description of Nicole) I really thought he might of loved me. He is the first guy I ever loved. Everyone says he has feelings for me . . . guess they were wrong. Man I need coffee

Luke's POV

Well now I really ruined any chance of being with her. I wonder what she wanted to talk to me about . . . I can't believe how hurt she looked when Nicole came in. I hate that I caused that look. I wish I could have stayed. I wonder what she wanted to talk about . . .

"Luke?"

"Oh sorry Nicole, I kinda zoned out there."

"It's fine, are you ok? Are you sick? Should we do this another time?"

"No I am fine, just a long day."

"What happened?" Nicole placed her hand on his telling him to continue. He didn't feel it, he didn't feel the spark he did when Lorelai touched him.

"Just life in a small town, a town with Taylor."

"Ah, Taylor, yes he is an interesting person."

"That's one way to put it." Luke chuckled. This isn't so hard.

"So you ready to go?"

"Yea sure." Nicole and Luke walked out of the restaurant hand in hand.

Lorelai's POV

He is probably still gone . . . I could go get coffee, which I desperately need. Lorelai walked past the dinner for the 20th time. She turned and finally went in to see there was no Luke. She let out a big sigh. I don't have to deal with him yet.

"Coffee please." Jess complied and handed her a cup.

"So you know he doesn't like her right?" Jess added as he poured the coffee.

"Excuse me?"

"I know you love him and are jealous."Wow how does he know? "And I know he loves you but thinks he has no chance." Jess set down the coffee pot and walked away.

"Well okay then."

"Lorelai?" Crap!

Luke's POV

The ride back to the diner was filled with small conversations and comfortable silence. When he walked Nicole to her car, he gave her a small peck on the lips. Nope, no sparks, fireworks, or anything else sappy you are suppose to feel when you kiss someone. He walked back to the inner deep in thought, not noticing the beautiful brunette sitting at the counter.

"Lorelai?" she is here . . . maybe she still wants to talk.

Nobody's POV

"You're back."

"Yup." This is a perfect example of awkward, uncomfortable silence. "Can we talk?"

"Sure I guess." What to say, what to say . . ."

"K let's go upstairs." Luke headed to the stairs as Lorelai got up and followed. Once inside they stood facing each other but not saying anything.

"So how was your date?" do I really want to know?

"Good, uh, fine, you know, crappy restaurant."

"Right, sure. So do you like Nicole?"

"Um yea I guess so, I mean it's only a first date."

"Right, right, do you think you guys will be serious?" wow didn't he say that to me?

"I don't know." This conversation means a lot to if we are going to be serious or not.

"Well do you want to be serious?"

"I don't know."

"How do you not know? You don't know if you want to have a serious relationship with someone?"

"I want to have a serious relationship with someone but I don't know if she is the one I want to have said relationship with." I would rather it be you!

"Right that makes sense. Are you going to try and have a serious relationship with Nicole?" please say no.

"Probably."

" Well ok then. I didn't think lawyers were really you're type but I hope you are happy, I really do." Tears welled up in Lorelai's eyes again.

"You don't seem happy." Way to go Sherlock.

"Well I guess I kinda didn't expect you to have a date." I thought you liked me.

"I can't date?"

"Not what I meant." You can date me

"Then what did you mean?"

"Well I thought you liked me."

"Why do you think that?" I couldn't just say that I did why?

"I thought you were jealous of Alex. Everyone says you have a thing for me but I guess it's not true." Lorelai's stubborn side had taken over and she was mad. She went through everything today only to find out everyone was wrong.

"Well, ummm . . . " I was and everyone is right.

"So you act all crazy when you find out I have a date, I cancel said date, and then you go ask another girl out. I thought you were going to tell me you liked me when you came in to apologize. What you didn't mean it? You just wanted me to forgive you so that someone will buy all the coffee again? Well fine I forgive you for saying that but it hurts a little to think that I was worried about what I would wear to come talk to you, when you don't even have feelings for me."

"What did you want to talk to me about?"

"I wanted to tell you that I like you, but forget it, you obviously don't feel the same." Well okay that is one way to tell him. Lorelai looked up at Luke's face when she saw his stunned expression she furrowed her brow and chewed on her bottom lip. "Well at least I said that, you know it's not good to bottle things up." Say something . . . please anything say anything. Luke still said nothing. "Well okay then I hope you are happy with Nicole." Luke still said nothing so Lorelai left closing the door a little harder than normal behind her. The door seemed to awaken Luke from his trance. He ran downstairs after her.

"Lorelai." He called as she was walking across the square, her arms around herself like she was protecting herself from the world. When she heard her name, she turned around and faced him.

"What?" I just want to go home. "What could you possibly have to say? You're with Nicole right?" Luke just looked down at his shoes. "Then we have nothing to talk about. I hope you two are happy and me? Well I've been rejected before, I'll live and we can be friends again, eventually. So, until then, I'll see you around." Lorelai turned and left. Should I go after her? Luke turned back to the diner and turned off the lights and went upstairs.

A/N: Please take you're frustration out on the purple button . . . push it and type what you think of this chapter you will feel better. Thank you to all
