A/N: Thanks for the reviews and once again keep em coming. Oh and thanks for giving me some more ideas, I probably use some.
Disclaimer: I don't own them… which everyone should know by now.
Finally when they got up to his apartment Lorelai spoke. "He didn't buy that we were a couple. I already told you that. I think we need to practice for next time."
"Lorelai, c'mon we probably won't even see him again and… wait. What do you mean by practice?" He asked.
"Like, you know, practice being together the holding hands the kis…" she stopped there.
"What?" he asked, even though he already knew what she was going to say.
"Nothing." Lorelai said.
"That wasn't nothing you said holding hands and then you were about to say-" Luke was cut off.
"I was about to say nothing." She said.
"You were about to say kissing, weren't you?" He asked, hoping she wouldn't deny it again.
"No! Well… maybe… yeah I was but never mind." Lorelai said, loosing some confidence.
"Hey, I will, I mean it's just business. The only reason we would be doing it is because of Max… nothing else." He said.
"So it'd be okay with you? Because it is just so Max will believe we are a couple." She said, trying to convince herself that was the reason.
"Yeah so, right now?" Luke asked.
"It's as good a time as any." Lorelai said.
They just stood there for a moment, not sure of what to do. Luke started to move forward, and awkwardly took her hand in his. She leaned up and gave him a quick kiss, and then looked down at her feet.
"Okay… so that was kind of… awkward." Lorelai said, with a little fake laugh.
Damn it! This is harder than I thought. I'm standing here, having absolutely no clue what to do, and she's standing there laughing about it! Luke thought, getting frustrated.
"Alright, let's try this again." Luke said, and slowly took her hand back in his they both slowly put their heads forward and barely touched at first, but then decided it wasn't as hard to do as they thought it was, and both kissed this time longer.
"Okay, so not so awkward anymore." Lorelai said.
With that she let go of his hand and wrapped her arms around him, Luke did the same, they slowly leaned forward again, for a deeper and more intense kiss, they both had no intentions of stopping until there was a loud knock at the door, which caused both of them to quickly jump apart.
"Who-" Luke started to say, and then cleared his throat "Who is it?" He asked, loudly.
"It's Max, Lorelai I know your in there! Come out, I need to talk to you." Max said, angerly.
"Fine." She said, simply leaving a confused Luke standing there. "I'll be back Luke." She stepped outside, and closed the door behind her.
"What the hell do you want, and how did you know I was here by the way?" stalker.
"I followed you here right after you left, I stood outside Luke's diner, because I got stuck in traffic so you all got in front of me, I didn't know where you went when I didn't see you inside the diner, but then I overheard half the town talking about how Duke and Lorelai went upstairs to his apartment. Look,You know we belong together, okay? I'm sorry you found out about the other woman, but I won't see her anymore, so just forget about Duke and come home with me." He said.
It took a minute before Lorelai could even respond. "Okay, number one I would never go out with you again, number two you don't even know how to apologize, you just said you're sorry I found out about the woman you were cheating on me with, so that means if I hadn't found out you would have kept seeing her, and not been sorry about it? And number three THE NAME IS LUKE!" Lorelai said, before slamming the door to Luke's apartment in Max's face.
Luke had heard the whole thing. "Do you want me to go out there and say anything to him, or I could just punch him again since he didn't seem to get the idea to stay away last time, maybe this time I could even do it a little harder?" Luke offered.
"No, that's okay, I think he'll stay away now, so do you want to just continue practicing?"
"Didn't you just say that he'd stay away now? And the only reason we were practicing was for him… wasn't it?" Luke asked. "But, just incase, he does come back, it wouldn't hurt to practice a little more."
They once again walked up to each other, and slowly moved forward until their lips barley brushed, then quickly the kiss deepened, and once again, it didn't feel like just practice. They slowly started moving towards the couch, but then the door swung open.
We have the worst timing of all! Lorelai thought.
To no surprise they found Max standing at the door, stunned, then noticing their position which was half way on the couch, and still half standing up they quickly stepped apart.
"Max, just-" Lorelai was cut off.
"Okay…I get it, you all are defiantly together, and I thought I still might have a chance, but I think this proves me wrong." Max said gesturing to Luke and Lorelai. "I won't come back anymore." He walked out very quickly.
clearly he hated to admit that he was wrong about something or not getting what he wanted, but he deserved it.
A/N: Review! Yeah, I know it was short, and it looks like Max is out of the picture for good now, but don't be so sure.
