If One of Us Had Been a Frog

Chapter Eight: Nothing More

Disclaimer: Duh.

Summary: They said they'd hook up later... This is later.

A/N: Incase you haven't noticed, I'm not doing this in order. Where's the fun in that anyway?

Please review.

It was about 9:30, and Luke was just about to close up when the door open, and the tiny bell rang. He looked up, hoping it was Lorelai, and it was.

"Hey." He said, continuing to wipe down the counter.

"Hi." She said, walking towards the counter. She sat down on a stool, and put her purse next to her.

"Where's Rory?" He asked her.

"At home… Jet lag, you know." Lorelai said.

"Yeah." Luke said, still wiping down the counter.

"So, I figured, hey, I bet Luke's still up, and I haven't seen him for 7 weeks either... plus he has pie." Lorelai continued, with a smile.

"Coffee?" He asked her, teasingly.

"Oh, I figured you would have turned it off hours ago." She said.

"Nope." He replied.

She smiled. "Expecting someone?" She asked him.

He shrugged, and turned around to fill up a mug for her.

"This crap is going to kill you someday." He said, as he placed the cup in front of her.

"Yet, you keep filling the cup… Trying to tell me something?" She asked.

He rolled his eyes, and was about to start wiping down the counter again, when his eyes fell to her necklace. It was the necklace he gave her a few hours before.

She must have caught him staring, because she reached up and began playing with it.

He looked back up to her bright, blue eyes and smiled. She returned it.

"So… is there… anything I should know before we… do this… thing?" She asked, trying to find the right words.

"What?" He asked, not sure what she meant.

"Any passes made by fair maidens?" She asked, skeptically.

He laughed. "You jealous?" He asked her.

"No! …I'm just saying… 7 weeks is a long time."

He crossed his arms and looked at her knowingly, waiting for the truth.

"Fine… maybe a little jealous." She admitted, and he smiled. "It's just… we kissed, and you left…"

"I know." He told her, regretfully.

"I didn't want you to change your mind before we could try this." She told him, slightly embarrassed at what she was revealing to him.

"I didn't." He told her.

"Good." She said, looking up at him.

"Yeah." He said, nodding.

She began playing with her necklace again, and smiled at him. "I really love this necklace." She told him.

"I'm glad." He told her.

She nodded. "So… any more Renaissance fair gossip you want to tell me?"

I realize this is incredibly short, but it's still worth a review, don't you think? Please leave one. I haven't been getting too many for this story, lately.

Thanks.

BTW, if you haven't already, don't go check Ask Ausiello. He gives you a horrible spoiler. You just don't want to know…
