Five Years Later
Luke's POV
As I was wiping off the counter to my diner I heard the door open and I looked up. It was my first customer of the morning but it was a Thursday afternoon so I wasn't surprised. Thursday was always a slow day. I stopped wiping off counters when I saw a young lady probably around twenty-six walking with a little girl probably around ten. I couldn't believe it. I could tell that it was Lorelai Gilmore from five years before. Then she saw me and she sent her little girl to the restroom to wash her hands. She walked up to the counter and said,
"Can I ask you an odd question?" I stared at her.
"Only if I can ask you one in return." She agreed to it and then asked,
"Your name is Luke correct?" I nodded and I then asked her a question.
"Your name is Lorelai, am I correct?" She and I both swallowed hard as she nodded her head. It was at that moment that her little girl walked out of the restroom and said,
"Mom, stop flirting with him!" I blushed and Lorelai said with a laugh,
"Rory, I wasn't flirting; I was just asking him a question all right?"
"Sure you were." Rory said with a mischievous tone in her voice. Lorelai walked over to her daughter and they found a table in front of the main window. "What were you asking him?"
"Oh nothing important, just if I had ever met him before."
"And have you?"
"No it was someone else that I knew a long time ago." I smiled as I realized that Lorelai was forgiving me by giving me a chance to start over. I walked over to their table and I said,
"My name is Luke Danes; may I take your order?"
"Yeah," Lorelai replied. "One coffee, two blueberry muffins, and a tour guide."
"A what?"
"You heard me a tour guide for a walk down memory lane."
"I'll have to get back to you on that one miss. But the coffee and muffins I can give to you." I turned and walked away and I smiled when I was sure that they weren't looking at me. This is going to be an interesting town with Lorilie Gilmore in it.
Authors note: I know it was a pretty corny ending but I kinda felt that it suited Lorelai. I will change it though if readers R&R. Please and thank you!
