"Are we in L.A" Luke asked clearly frustrated… knowing the answer.
"No sir"
"Are you some kind of disguised food critic sent from the big city looking to bust my ass on something stupid?
"uh no"
"then quit your complaining or get the hell out of my diner!" His voice raised as he towered over the man who was sitting at a table near the window.
"fine I'll just leave… and don't think I will ever come here again.. The service here sucks" The man stormed out of the diner , slamming the door behind him… startling everyone in the diner.
Ding The bell rang above the door to the diner as a customer came in. Without even turning around to see who it was Luke yelled.
"I will be with you in a moment, and if you cant wait or feel like criticizing my food, then I suggest you turn right around and walk out that door or I will be forced to through your ass out, and trust me either way its fine by me."
"well good morning mister grumpy gills" came the familiar voice of none other than Lorelai Gilmore.
" Oh Lorelai sorry I didn't realize it was you.. Its just this guy had been in here a little while ago and he was criticizing my food and sending it back…" Lorelai cut him off.
"was he a food critic or something?
"No! just some loser." His voice still loud.
"Well geez it was just a question you don't have to bite my head off.. I havent done anything.. I've just been sitting here.. Looking pretty , waiting for my coffee."
"im just having a bad day that's all. Nothing out of the ordinary"
"Yea I get that too. Hey I have an idea" Her voice chipper and excited.
"No"
" I didn't even say what it is yet"
"Yes but anything concerning you and your ideas is always safest to say 'no'" He teased her because he knew she would tell him anyways.
"Well just hear me out."
Luke sighed and stopped what he was doing to hear her knowing that's what she wanted "fine go ahead"
She smiled and began to speak " okay like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, thank you very much!" She shot him a ' Im adorable how could you resist' grin. "How about we go to a club or something? Somewhere fun, where we can just have a few drinks, talk, c'mon what do you say?
"well.." He knew what the answer was going to be.. He just didn't want to answer to fast.. Plus his heart was racing , he didn't know if this was a date.. Or just a hang out session two friends getting together having a good time. But a bar.. Did she have to say a bar? Bars are where things happened.. Things he would want to happen.. But not sure if she would even want to.. And was she even thinking like he was? " yea sure I guess a couple of drinks would be nice"
Lorelai clasped her hands together, excitedly and reached her hand out to pat his arm .. Pulling back quickly, feeling the rush she got just by a little touch. "Good .. Great, it will be fun" slightly nervous. She didn't know if he felt it too.. Of course he did.
Breaking the silence.. "nothing to rowdy, I know how you can get"
With a big smile Lorelai could help but tease him. " So I guess a strip club is out of the question?"
Luke acting like he was seriously thinking about it.. Raised an eyebrow and shot her a staring look, with a big grin plastered across his face.
Lorelai's mouth dropped. "Luke I was kidding"
" Relax, I don't need a stripper, plus I'm all out of two dollar bills."
Shaking her head slightly. "okay I will act like I never heard that. So how does Saturday night sound?"
"I guess I could have Caesar close up"
"yea just change the pies in the morning" remembering he ate out of the pie plates when he closes up.
Luke being completely oblivious had a strange look on his face. "what are you talking about?"
"Never mind, pick me up at eight." Grabbing her purse and the to go cup of coffee and bolting out the door before Luke got the chance to answer her. She knew he wouldn't say no.
Softly speaking to himself. " A night with Lorelai.. Hmm could be fun."
