Chapter 6 A sleepless night
-
"Luke...Luke!" Lorelai said shaking luke to try to get him to wake up.
"ah..wh--what the? what?...Lorelai, what are you?.."
"We need to talk, get up." She said pulling on his arm.
"Wait a second."
"No..now."
"Fine im up." Luke said a little annoyed.
"Shh..don't wake anyone up." She said and they walked down stairs
Meanwhile, Kirk started screaming in his sleep, which of course woke everyone else up. Except for Lane, who had fallen asleep with her earphones on. Dean fell back asleep and Rory got up to go to the bathroom. She went to open the door, but it opened from the other side before she could and Jess was standing there.
"Oh..uh..sorry" Rory said and started to turn around.
"No..Rory wait.." He said grabbing her and turning her back around.
He started to talk..
"Im sorry..Im sorry for everything I did. I was wrong, but I need you to give me a second chance. You can count on me. I'll show you, I promise I'll make it up to you. Rory, I know you believe me when I say that I love you and I know you love me too. You may think you can't trust me anymore but you can...you can.." he said quietly.
"Jess..."
Jess interrupted her.. "Rory, we are meant to be together and you know it."
Deep down inside she knew she really did trust him although she wasn't sure why, after all that has happened. But there was just always something about him...right then he kissed her..she was knocked over a little because she hadn't expected this, but for some reason it felt okay. She kissed him back gently, wrapping her hands around his neck, and pulled him into the doorway.
Lorelai had practically pushed Luke down the stairs. They walked into the diner and she started to talk..
"Okay, we seriously need to talk about...uh...certain events...that occurred...here...today...in there" she said pointing to the storage room.
"Look, Lorelai, it's okay if you just want to forget everything that happened...I understand."
"yea, well I have to..I mean, I have a boyfriend...and...a...a job..and I don't know what the job thing has anything to do with, but I was looking for another excuse and i'm a little confused and when i'm confused I tend to not make sense..and I ramble.."
"Yes, you've made that very clear" Luke stated. "Look, don't worry about it, it was just a weird thing that happened."
"Yes...yes, just a strange occurence...because...because of the snow!...yes..it makes me do things I normally wouldn't do ya know?..um..it sort of acts as like an alcohol or something.."she said nervously..not knowing when to stop.
"The snow?" Luke said looking confused.
"Yes..no..wait what?..what I mean is..I guess I just go with the moment."
"But only when it snows..?"
"Sort of?" Lorelai said unsure of what she was even talking about. "All I know is tonight I was caught up by the moment..and I went with it, but now I realize it was the wrong choice..and I shouldnt have done it" she said softly not wanting to sound too terrible. "Oh gosh, im making it seem like that kiss meant nothing, which isn't it at all...it's just wrong Luke, I have a boyfriend..and you just broke up with your wife..and you'll be dealing with a divorce..I just think the timing is off and we might regret it later..and.."
"No, I get it." Luke said.
"You do?" she replied.
"Yes"
"Okay, good."
They stood there in silence for a moment. Lorelai knew she hadn't made any sense whatsoever and everything came out wrong. "The snow is like alcohol?..who the hell says that?" she thought to herself. She knew she was just trying to make excuses and she had been extremely nervous.
"Luke?" she said quietly.
"yes?"
"Is this going to make things weird between us now?"
"What?"
"The kiss.."
"What kiss" he said with a slight smile.
"What do you- Oh..ha...I get what you're doing..it never happened." She said awkwardly.
"Are we done talking? I'm tired.." Luke said.
"Yea."
They walked upstairs only to find Rory and Jess making out in the bathroom doorway.
"Oh my god!" Lorelai whispered. They didnt hear her.
"Oh..my..god!" Lorelai said again, loudly this time.
They both looked over.
"Oh..um..um...mom..h-hi..I didn't know you were up..Luke?"
"Hey Rory...Jess.." Luke said.
"Um yeah, we were downstairs..what the hell were you two just doing?" Lorelai said questioningly.
"You know..Im really tired -" Jess said.
"Uh-uh..first talk, then bed." Lorelai said.
"Well it was pretty clear to see what they were doing" Luke said. "And I'd really like it if I could go to bed so I say we talk about this more in the morning.
"Yea mom, I'm really tired and otherwise we'll be up all night and we'll wake everyone else up."
"Funny how you didn't look that tired a couple of seconds ago." Lorelai said
"Yea well I don't get to choose when I become tired.." Rory said back to Lorelai.
"Alright, fine..we'll talk more about this in the morning."
