Luke and Lorelai are driving in comfortable silence down the highway. Luke is driving because Lorelai couldn't get it out of her driveway without nearly taking down the mailbox.

"Luke, I'm sorry I almost crashed your truck, I swear the mailbox moved." Lorelai said trying to back herself up.

"Oh yea I saw that. How could you not!"

"I cant drive your stick shift, sorry. I guess I will just have to stick to the automatic." Raising and eyebrow and letting out a small laugh.

"This is going to be a long night" Sarcastically , but he hoped that it would. So far he was having fun, the mailbox just gave him an excuse to never let her drive his truck again…ever!

"It will go by so fast and you will be wishing it had just started, hmm.. Are we there yet?" Acting like she was six years old.

"What? Lorelai you're supposed to be telling me if we are there yet."

"Whoa Luke, chill out. I was kidding."

"Well are we close?"

"Yea sure" She knew that she was bugging Luke but she loved to. She knew he wouldn't get mad. She just wanted to know how far she could push him.

Luke pretending for once he could actually get angry with her, acting as though he was frustrated. "Lorelai!"

Laughing. "Yes we are close, its just about a mile or so up ahead." a few seconds past. "its called Cheers by the way.

"Ooh goody" Luke said sounding less than thrilled. "one of those"

"It will be fun, I promise."

Lorelai stared at the window occasionally glancing over to Luke, turning her attention away every time he looker her way. She felt like a teenager again, crushing over a boy.

As they were pulling into the parking lot, they found a spot up close. Luke had hurried to get out of the truck and to the passenger side door, opening the door and helping her out.

"Oh , uh thanks, you know you don't have to do that."

"Well I wanted to, and your welcome"

Walking through up the sidewalk their hands kept brushing against one another's.. five, six, seven times a brush. Luke felt the rush caused by one touch, Lorelai felt it, she knew he was feeling something by the way every time they touched he looked her way. The eighth touch Lorelai slipped her hand into Luke's. Holding on to his hand slightly, Luke rubbed his thumb against her hand , causing a shiver to escape her. It was obvious to him, and all he could do was smile, knowing she was feeling the same he was.

When they were in the bar, they walked around looking for a table and taking in all the commotion. "look at this place, its great." Lorelai said as they sat at a table close to the bar. Still holding his hand.

"I'll say"

"Hey, do you want a drink?"

"I'll get it, what would you like?"

"Okay , vodka martini dry please."

Luke walked over to the bar and ordered their drinks, martini and a beer. There were two guys sitting on the stools at the bar, talking 'guy talk', "look at her" One of the guys said pointing to Lorelai who noticed them starring and turned her head. "yea I'd tap that" The other guys said, "Man she is totally out of your league, plus a women like that wouldn't be single" "So, has a taken women ever stopped me? Watch me work." The guy got up and started walking towards Lorelai. Luke had heard the whole conversation and stopped him before he got a chance to go over to the table.

"Hey buddy, she's with me." Luke told the man.

"So."

"So, she's with me, its means she isn't going for you."

The guy laughed and continued to walk over to Lorelai. "hey , you here alone" The guys ego was huge. She wasn't going for it.

"Actually no, I'm not, sorry"

The guy sat down next to her. "so what do you say we get out of here."

"Your serious? I just told you I'm not here alone, I came with someone, See he's right here." Lorelai grabbed luke's hand and pulled him close. "This is my, uh, this is Luke."

"You guys aren't together, you're just friends, your single, and I'm too much for you to handle. All you need is some time with me, I can fix that baby."

"Hey man!" Luke shouted, he was starting to get angry. He hated the way this guy was talking to her. "She's not going for you, she's with me, not just friends. We're dating, pretty serious."

"Whatever, this shits boring." The guy said and returned to his bar stool with his buddy.

"I'm sorry, I just told him that so he wouldn't mess with you, it was no big deal" Luke was trying to apologize for something he didn't need to.

Lorelai turned so that she was facing Luke, stilling holding his hand with hers. "Thank you." with that Lorelai stood up on her tip toes and placed a soft kiss on Luke's lips. Luke still in shock , was frozen. He couldn't believe she was kissing him. Lorelai Gilmore was kissing him. He never thought this day would come. After the initial shock had subsided Luke returned the kiss. It was short, but so sweet. Lorelai was the first to pull away.

"is that my drink?" Asking about the martini sitting on the table.

"uh, your drink? Um oh yea that's yours." Babbling, he still couldn't believe what just happened.

"Good" She sat down and took a sip of her drink, and laughed when she saw Luke still standing. "hey you gonna join me, or are you just going to stand there?

"sorry" Luke sat down and downed half his beer in one setting.

"Look at them people dancing, they're having so much fun"

"well if you call that dancing." Luke starred at the people on the dance floor, he didn't know what he was looking at. There was grinding, and touching, a lot of touching.

"Aw they're just having fun, buy me some more drinks, and I can probably guarantee that I will be one of those people out there, dancing just like that, maybe make it look a little more dirty."

"Wow I cant picture you dancing like that" He was a little surprised and oh so curious.

"Well I wont be alone." She shot him a smile saying 'you'll be out there too'

"Oh no, no way, I am not going to do that."

Lorelai laughed and put on a huge smile. "Mkay we'll see"

"Yea we will"
