Lane was still standing there in front of them all.
"Alright, so I didn't want us all to be stuck here either, but the way it's snowing, it looks like we are going to be stuck here another night. So, we all have to act our age and make this a toleratable experience without biting each others heads off. I dont know about you, but I'd like us all to leave here in one piece." Lorelai said.
"I have no idea what's going on, but I agree...I like my head." Lane said.
"Rory, why don't you and Jess go upstairs...or Dean...or whoever you're not mad at at the moment." Lorelai said.
Rory looked around for a second then said, "...Lane, are you coming?" and went up the stairs.
"Rory..." Dean followed.
Jess was about to open his mouth, when Luke spoke.
"Jess, the only thing I want to hear coming out of your mouth is 'I'm sorry' and I can't see that happening so you better not say a word"
"Whatever." Jess replied and walked up the stairs.
"Not a word!" Luke screamed back at him.
"What's going on?" someone said.
"Ahh!" Lorelai jumped. "Oh...oh my...Patty, you gave me a heart attack"
"Oh, sorry dear. So what's the matter with everyone this morning?" Patty asked curiously."I heard some loud noise before and so I came to the window and then everyone stormed up the stairs"
"No...nothing's the matter...nope...no storming here." Lorelai said quickly.
"Lane, Rory, Jess, Dean?" Patty suggested.
"Oh, no...no storming...ya know...just normal tip toeing. Okay, so we really better get upstairs...um...say Hi to Taylor for me. Bye Patty." Lorelai said grabbing Luke and pulling him into the stairway.
"Okay, so what are we gonna do?" Lorelai said quietly.
"About what?" Luke said playfully.
"About what! Luke-" she then saw the smirk on his face... "That's not nice..." she said.
"I love it when you're stressed." Luke said with a chuckle.
"ha...ha...yes it's so funny." she said dryly... "Okay so we have three really angry kids up there! And Rory's about to kill Dean who's about to kill Jess and then Kirk will probably get in there somewhere...and then Lane...and you can see how it can turn into Bloody Sunday...It's like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre...minus the chainsaw. Unless, of course you're hiding one in your closet and I don't know about it!" She said.
"Calm down. We'll figure something out." Luke said reassuringly.
"Okay...you're right, okay"
"But, lets go up there now before they find that chainsaw in my closet." he said jokingly.
"right..." she said and smiled.
They both looked in each others eyes. There was an awkward silence and niether one was sure what to do next. Lorelai thought to herself... "should I kiss him? Is that appropriate...am I allowed to do that? Can I just kiss him whenever I want now...? hmm..? I could really get used to this"
She decided to just go for it. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips and then said "Lets go." She walked up the stairs and Luke followed.
-
Lane, Rory, Jess and Dean were all sitting on the couch. Kirk had waken up and was sitting on the floor.
Lorelai and Luke walked in, but were unsure of what to say or do. Finally Lorelai spoke.
"Sooo...who wants to eat?" She asked.
"Me!" Lane screamed trying to stop the awkwardness.
"Me too..." Kirk said and followed Lane downstairs.
"You coming?" Lor said to the three on the couch.
They all followed down the stairs and stood in the diner.
"So, what's there to eat?" Lorelai asked.
"Well, lets go into the storage room and see." Luke said.
They walked into the storage room and there was food everywhere.
"Woah!" Rory was shocked. "I'll never be hungry again!" she said in a dreamy voice.
"Okay, Scarlett O'hara..." Lorelai said to Rory.
"Hah...where do we start!" Lane said.
"Ooh! Ding Dongs! I love them." Kirk said.
"Ding Dongs? Why do you have Ding Dongs in here?" Lorelai asked Luke questioningly. "And why are there other amounts of store bought packaged foods that you don't sell at the diner"
"Well...yesterday I went out to buy food for the diner and I picked up some extra stuff just in case there was a snow storm like the weather channel had predicted...ya know...for Jess"
"For Jess..." She said raising an eyebrow.
"Yes"
"Not for you...for Jess"
"I said yes"
"okay..." Lorelai said with a chuckle, picking up a package of ding dongs. "So...you are just going to sit there and watch us eat all this food? You're not going to even have a ding dong?" She said raising the package in front of his face.
"That's right." Luke said.
"Well, what are you going to eat"
"I'll find something." Luke said.
"Oh come on! You sooo want to eat this ding dong!" Lorelai said anxiously waiting for him to break. "Eat it!" She demanded.
"Never." he said.
"Oh, You WILL eat this ding dong." Lorelai said laughing. "Just come with me." she said tugging on his shirt. "Um guys, me and- and Luke are gonna...uh...go upstairs and eat, because well uh"
"Mom!" Rory walked up to her.
"What"
"Go...Eat...I'll make sure no one goes and interrupts you." Rory said knowing her mother wanted time alone with Luke.
"Thank you." Lorelai said.
Luke and Lorelai walked upstairs into the apartment. Luke sat down on the couch and she sat down next to him.
"So..." She said.
"So..." Luke repeated.
"Maybe we should um...talk." Lorelai started.
Luke looked concerned.
"No, this isn't a bad thing. I just think we should talk about where we go from here. I mean, what do we - what are we"
"What...are we?" Luke said, he wasn't quite sure what she was saying.
"I mean...are we dating? Are we a...a couple?" she finally said it. She was sort of hoping he would just say yes and they could get all this awkward stuff out of the way.
"I don't know...we haven't really gone on a date...and technically you are still with that guy." Luke stated.
"Could we not bring him up anymore please..." Lorelai said.
"Sure..."
"Oh God, am I a really bad person for doing this? I mean, maybe I should call him ...and just break it off with him now, so I don't have this weight being carried on my shoulders. But would that be really mean? I don't know anymore...and I mean, I don't know how much longer we're going to be stuck here...and"
"Maybe this isn't going to work." Luke blurted out. He wasn't thinking earlier and he just now realized that what they were doing felt wrong.
"What?" Lorelai said, she was confused.
"Well, I was just thinking about you and him and if we got together...what if I became that guy"
"What guy"
"The guy you're dating...the guy that you...cheat on...I mean, I just was that guy with Nicole and I'll tell you, it didn't feel good"
"You're right, I'm terrible...I'm cheating..." she paused... "but things have been weird between me and Jason lately. I actually had been thinking about breaking up with him, but I stayed with him...And I guess now I'm starting to regret it. I should've just broken up with him before, but Luke, if we go through with this, I would never make you that guy. This was just one time and I feel terrible about it, but I can't help how I feel. I just, I need to call Jason and talk to him if that's ok"
"Yea...I don't know if the phones are working, but you can try"
"Okay, thanks," she said and walked over to the phone.
"I'm gonna leave you alone. Come get me when you are done." Luke said and left the room.
Lorelai had millions of thoughts running around in her head. This thing with Luke was still surreal to her and she wasn't even sure if it would work out. Although, lately things had been weird with her and Jason. He had seemed to almost lose interest in her at times and she had picked up on it, but then at the charity event he seemed better. The phone rang on the other end and then she heard a voice.
"Hello?" a women answered all bubbly and happy.
"Um..hello... who's this?" Lorelai said assuming that she probably had the wrong number.
"Who's this?" The women asked, playfully "I'm sorry, maybe I have the wrong number...is Jason there?" Lorelai asked.
"Um...yes, but he wants to know who this is." The women said playfully. Lorelai could hear her on the other side of the phone all giggly and talking to Jason. She couldn't make out everything she was saying, but she definitely heard her call him baby.
"This is his girlfriend. May I please speak to him?" Lorelai was getting annoyed now.
"Oh...yea sorry." The women said seriously.
"Hello?" Jason asked.
"Who the hell was that?" Lorelai asked angrily.
"Lorelai! uh...Hi...wh-what are you-why did..uh.." Jason stuttered.
"Who was that?" Lorelai repeated.
"Who? Oh...Angie...she's just a- a friend." Jason said.
"She Called you 'baby'..."
"She's just a friend I swear." He repeated.
"Uh-huh..." Lorelai muttered. "Well after a night in a snowstorm I'm assuming that 'Angie' is no longer "just a friend"...bye Jason." She said and hung up.
She stood there for a second and then she walked downstairs. Luke was standing in the diner. He saw her right away. She started walking toward him.
"Hey, uh how did-"Luke was interrupted suddenly by her lips. She kissed him deeply and he returned the affection. They parted and Luke asked, "So it went that well huh?"
"Well, it turns out you and me have something in common." She stated.
Luke was confused. "What do you mean?" he asked.
"Well, it just so happens that Jason had a guest during the snowstorm as well...a guest named Angie who I believe called him sweet pea, puddingpie, and a few other nauseating names "
"No..."
"Yep."
"Wow." Luke was surprised.
"Yea...and it's weird."
"What is?"
"Well, we were both cheated on in the same weekend." She chuckled a little. "It's like it was meant to be." They both smiled and looked in each others eyes. "You know... I left that package of Ding Dongs upstairs." She said with a smile. They both leaned in for another kiss. The kiss deepened and for those few seconds they forgot where they were.
"AHEM!" someone said from behind. They jumped away from each other quickly.
"Umm...hi..." Lorelai said to the person.
A/N: so please tell me what you think, I know this chapter wasnt that great but I promise the next one will be better...I just had to get the Jason thing out of the way...
