Lorelai blinked slowly and quickly tried to hide the Pregnancy test behind her back. Luckily for her, her face instead of hands were being cautiously studied by her ex-fiancé standing so close to her.
Exhaling, Luke greeted her with a nod of the head still unsure of where they stood in their relationship. After her ultimatum nearly a month ago when she had walked out on their life together, giving him only one last look of sadness before running home, a look that would be forever imprinted in his mind, she had disappeared. He hadn't talked to her since that day. He had driven past the house numerous times, even sat on the front porch while she was at work but not once had he dared enter the house they once shared. Calls had been made to her yet she never returned them. Occasionally she would be seen walking to Weston's but other than that there was no sign that she still lived in the town.
Nonchalantly Lorelai greeted Luke the same way he had her, it could have almost been interpreted as a challenge toward him to talk to her. Luke shifted his weigh from one foot to the other while looking down toward the floor, he was acting like a jealous teenager. The silence was getting awkward, Luke decided to be the first to speak.
"So…I've been trying to get a hold of you."
"Yeah I know, I've just been really busy at work and stuff," Lorelai replied coolly.
"For a month! Oh come on Lorelai you've been avoiding me and you know it!" Luke exclaimed, frustrated.
"Hey! I have not been avoiding you it's true, I have been busy!" Lorelai replied back.
"So you couldn't take less than 5 minutes out of your 'busy' schedule to call me back? Let me know your okay? I've been worried about you Lorelai, you never even come into the diner anymore,"
"What did you expect? That everything would go back to being hunky-dory? Well it hasn't, we aren't together anymore and that was a choice which you made. I didn't even know I was allowed in the diner anymore. I thought I was banned from it when April was there." Lorelai tried to keep her voice down as people were starting to stare at them.
"I don't deserve that and neither does she! Even before we were in a relationship we were friends for 8 years I at least hoped that would continue." Luke said, obviously hurt from her former comment.
"Well it didn't now did it? Excuse me, I have to get back to the Inn before Michel freaks out. Don't follow me."
Luke sighed, of all the scenarios which had played in his head about when they would talk again, none of them included being in the supermarket in voice range of Taylor, who could be seen looking over the top of the aisles. Luke just glared at him.
Lorelai walked toward the cash register feeling quite conscious about the test held in her left hand, especially because the cashier was a twitching teenager (a new guy). As he rung up the total and she dug in her wallet for change, neither were aware of the figure watching from behind a display of soup.
As Luke looked on in disbelief at the item she was buying his mind raced with so many question to which he had no answers.
