Chapter 7: Snuffy

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was kissing Luke. Diner Luke. Best friend Luke. Guy-who-I-think-left-Max-for Luke. And he was really good at it. I was glad no one was around, because there was a serious make-out session going on. Was I dreaming? God, I hope not, although I wouldn't put it past my evil subconcious. I pinched my arm (which was wrapped tightly around Luke's neck), and was satisfied to find that I was still kissing Luke. Just as I went to deepen the kiss even more, Luke pulled back.

"Lorelai, what are you doing?" I smiled at him.

"Gee, are you dense. What the hell does it look like I'm doing?" He didn't seem as happy as I was. I was beginning to think that kissing Luke had been a very bad idea. But, he had kissed me back.

"Lorelai, you don't know how much I want this," I perked up at this. "but," buts are always bad, "you ended your engagement less than twenty-four hours ago. If this is some kind of rebound thing, please don't put me through it."

"Luke, do you think I would do that to you?" The though kind of upset me, to tell you the truth. As I may of mentioned, I really really liked Luke, and the fact that he thought I would use him as a way to get over Max hurt.

"Maybe. No. Ah, god! You confuse me even when you aren't trying to confuse me!" I held back a laugh. "This is not funny, Lorelai! Do you know how huge this is?! This is a life-changing decision, and it needs to be thought about thoroughly!"

"Luke, I know that! I've thought about it for five years!" Luke smiled a little bit.

"You have?"

"Yeah." It surprised me, too. I had figured out that I liked Luke, just not for how long.

"I have, too." Well. That just made things about a zillion times better. I beamed at him. "But you just broke up with Max."

"Yes. But I had a very good reason." Luke looked at me confusedly. "C'mon Snuffy." I started to lead him downstairs.

"Snuffy?" he asked skeptically.

"If anyone asks, that's my pet-name for you."

"Why Snuffy?"

"Cause your face looked cute when I said it." I then proceeded to mimic his expression. He rolled his eyes and followed me into the lobby.

When we got down to the lobby, Rory looked like she was in hell. She looked up at us and looked surprised to see Luke with his arm around me. She shot me a questioning look and I winked, bringing Luke over to sit on an open couch.

"So," Ladonn said, "Rory here is probably a little tired of talking about her love life. What about you two?" She turned to me and Luke.

"Whatever do you mean?" I asked.

"Well, for starters, how did you two lovebirds meet?"

"Well..." I started. Luke cut me off.

"It was in my diner five years ago during the lunch rush. This woman-"

"Ooh! Is it me?" I interrupted.

"This woman comes tearing into the place in a caffeine frenzy-"

"Ooh! It's me!"

"I was with a customer. She interrupts me, wild-eyed, begging for coffee, so I tell her to wait her turn. Then she starts following me around, talking a mile a minute, saying God knows what." I smile. "So I finally turn to her, and I tell her she's being annoying--sit down, shut up, I'll get to her when I get to her."

"I bet she took that well," Rory said sarcastically. I glared at her.

"She asked me what my birthday was," Luke continued. "I wouldn't tell her. She wouldn't stop talking. I gave in. I told her my birthday. Then she opened up the newspaper to the horoscope page, wrote something down, tore it out, handed it to me."

"What did it say?" One of the women asked.

"Under "Scorpio" she had written, 'you will meet an annoying women today. Give her coffee and she'll go away." I gave her coffee."

"But she didn't go away," I said. Luke shook his head.

"She told me to hold on to that horoscope, put it in my wallet, and carry it around with me, one day it would bring me luck." He put his arm around me again and smiled in rememberence.

"And..." one of the men said.

"And what?" Luke asked.

"Did you keep it?" Rory asked. I shake my head.

"I'm sure he tossed it-" I was cut off by Luke handing me a folded slip of paper. I opened it and felt teaes come to my eyes. "You kept this?" I asked him.

"Obviously," he answered.

"I can't believe you kept this!" I gave him a kiss. I think it was around this point Rory figured out we weren't acting anymore.

"Hey Mom," she said.

"Yeah?"

"Can we talk?"

"Of course, will you excuse us?" I asked everyone.

"Go ahead," Ladonn said, wiping her eyes after Luke's story. Me and Rory walked up the stairs to the spot were I had previously been making out with Luke.

"Mom?! Are you and Luke together?!" I nodded excitedly. Rory shreiked. "Oh my God! Since when?!"

"About five minutes ago!"

"Mom! That's great! Just... don't break up, I reallly don't like the idea of starving."

"Don't worry Ror, I want this to work so badly."

"It will Mom."

There you go. Sorry about taking forever to update, but I was having a hard time deciding where to go. Also, I'm considering writing a new story, and I've been focusing on that.
