Day Five – You broke the CD!

Thursday – June 7th 2007
7:48 am

Luke woke feeling cold, but not just the cold from being alone in bed, he realized the sheets were gone. Opening his eyes he saw Lorelai holding the sheets at the foot of the bed.

LORELAI "Well morning there big boy."

Covering himself with his hands.

LUKE "What are you doing."

LORELAI "Time to go, it's almost 8 and we need to get on the road if we're gonna make it to April in 2 days!"

LUKE "I'm cold."

LORELAI "Well put some clothes on then."

LUKE "Crazy lady!"

Luke sat up and reached for the sheets, pulled on them. Lorelai who was still holding them fell forward onto the bed. She climbed on top of Luke to straddle him. Loosened her robe Luke then pushed it off her shoulders. They begin by just looking at each other while Lorelai slowly grinds her hips into Luke's growing length. Luke reaches out, sliding his hands from her hips to her breasts and then on to her face as Lorelai leans forward. Beginning to kiss Lorelai opened her mouth as their tongues touched they both moaned. Breaking after a few intense minutes to catch their breath.

LUKE "We're going to be late."

LORELAI "Maybe we can try for that record."

LUKE "What about my breakfast."

LORELAI "Getting cold in the other room."

LUKE "It cereal, it's meant to be cold."

LORELAI "So I don't see a problem then."

LUKE "Me neither."

Lorelai rolled off Luke on to her back as Luke moved to between her legs, sliding his hands from her feet, up her inner-thighs to her centre, which sent shivers up Lorelai's spine. Luke bens down and kissed her belly making Lorelai giggle, he then moves slowly south until he could taste her. She has a powerful scent, which Luke could not get enough of. Using his tongue he teased her, running it around the edge of her opening before plunging it inside, a few minutes later his fingers started to join the action. Slipping one in, then a second making Lorelai buck in response, pushing her closed to Luke's hand and face. Lorelai knew she was getting close already, when Luke pays this kind close personal attention to. Breathless Lorelai speaks.

LORELAI "Luke… now… I need you inside me."

Luke sits up to position himself by kneeling between Lorelai's legs. She lifts her legs over Luke's shoulders as he moves her up onto his legs before plunging inside her. Now securely inside he reached for Lorelai's hands and pulls her up so she was now sitting in Luke's lap with her legs still over his shoulders. They sit there for a few seconds as they kiss and held each other. Slowly Lorelai moves her hips in a circle motion. This angle was driving Lorelai crazy, stimulating all the right parts but she wanted more, she wanted faster. Moving her left leg she placed it around Luke's waist as she pulled him down to her right side. They lay side-by-side as Luke started pumping, deeper and faster. They then moved so Luke was fully on top of Lorelai. Their climax comes quickly but they still couldn't beat that ten-minute record!

A few minutes later Luke kissed Lorelai on the shoulder as she rested.

LUKE "You getting up."

LORELAI "Tired, need rest."

LUKE "Okay I'm having breakfast."

Luke got out of bed and put on his robe, tightening the strap, goes to the main room and turns on the TV to catch the news. Not one who would normally watch TV in the morning because he's usually too busy with the diner for the news and morning shows, Lorelai's bad habits must be rubbing off on him, he thought as he chuckled. Just then Lorelai walked to the door naked.

LORELAI "Showers waiting big guy, care to join me."

LUKE "Then we'll never get out of here and have to pay for another night.

LORELAI "Doesn't sound like a bad idea!"

LUKE "I want you showered in 5 minutes."

LORELAI "Okay but you don't know what you're missing."

Lorelai turned and put a jaunt into her walk as she went to the bathroom, which made Luke look until she was out of sight. He sat down at the small table and pours the milk into the bowl, adding some fruit and sugar, but not too much. Then taking a sip of the now cold tea before eating his breakfast.

Once finished he places the breakfast bowl and other things on the tray to be collected by room service later. Walking into the bathroom Lorelai was drying her hair as Luke lifts the toilet seat.

LORELAI "Hold on there, what are you doing!"

LUKE "I need to go."

LORELAI "Not with me in here."

LUKE "Why?"

LORELAI "I want you to keep some mysteries to yourself, the flannel, your choice of music and that." Pointing at his crouch.

LUKE "You didn't have a problem with it earlier this morning."

LORELAI "Well what we do in there." Pointing to the bedroom. "…and what you do in here are 2 different things."

LUKE "What if we do that stuff in the shower?"

LORELAI "You know what I mean." Kissing him on the cheek. "I'll leave you guys alone to do your business, just open the door when you're down so I can watch you in the shower."

With that she took the hair dryer and left the room closing the door, Luke did his business, opened the door as asked and took his shower. He was done in 5 minutes, dressing in the usual jeans and flannel, the baseball cap was missing but this was a 5 star hotel so he put it in his bag to be worn later when in the Jeep. Lorelai meanwhile had dressed in jeans and a light blue top with spaghetti straps, showing off her shoulders and a lot of cleavage. She wore her flip-flops, which she would kick off in the car. Her hair was in a low ponytail. She was set for the day's travel.

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

About an hour out off Memphis Lorelai was changing a CD with they hit a pothole.

LORELAI "Damn it! What did you it?"

LUKE "Stupid pothole, what's wrong with the CD player?"

LORELAI "I think you broke it."

LUKE "Stupid road, that's the third broken up patch in 5 minutes, damn road crew should have fixed it! Try the CD again."

LORELAI "All right."

Sliding the CD in, but after a few seconds it comes out again without playing.

LORELAI "You broke it! Now what am I gonna do for entertainment, we need to stop and get a new player."

LUKE "Sorry. Can't stop, I'll keep you entertained."

LORELAI "How?" Smiling and batting her eyes.

LUKE "Nothing dirty, I'm driving here."

LORELAI "You're no fun!"

LUKE "I have this hickie from last night that disputes that statement. What about your magazines."

LORELAI "Read them all."

LUKE "Crossword book."

LORELAI "Boring and I've done them all."

LUKE "Well lets just try the radio."

Luke turned it on and hit the auto search looking for a station. The first one on the dial was some Christian Rock, Lorelai shock her head. Then a sports station, which Luke wanted to listen to but Lorelai took control by pressing the button. Next on the dial was classical music, another no from Lorelai. She liked some classical music but not in the Jeep on a road tip. She was in search for rock music. Next a country station, Luke went to press the button to go to the next but Lorelai stopped his hand, surprising Luke.

LUKE "What are you doing?"

LORELAI "Luke I need to tell you something, something you might find shocking about me and you might want to leave me on the side of the road in a few minutes."

Luke listened intrigued and a little worried.

LORELAI "I like country music."

Luke laughed.

LUKE "Is that all."

LORELAI "Well not all country music just some. I never told anyone this, apart from," Pausing. "…my mother."

LUKE "How did you end up telling Emily?"

LORELAI "She bought me a Jamie O'Neil CD as a birthday present once." I ended up listening to it months later by accident and I was surprise how much I liked it. Rory doesn't even know."

LUKE "It's okay, we'll get past this." He joked dryly.

LORELAI "Stop it!"

LUKE "Lorelai there's nothing wrong with country music."

LORELAI "I know."

The trip was silent for a while as they listened to Jamie O'Neil on the radio. A few hours later they pulled in for gas and to have lunch. Luke checked the Jeep over as he fuelled up. Lorelai went and ordered some burgers, fries and drinks. Lorelai come back just as Luke was finishing paying at the self-service pump, with his credit card. He moved the Jeep from the pump and parked.

LORELAI "Ready."

LUKE "Yep."

LORELAI "Come on, I found a great place to eat this."

They walked around a fence to a garden area. In the middle was a gazebo, Lorelai smiled.

LUKE "Perfect." He said sarcastically.

Walking to the gazebo they sat down.

LORELAI "Who would have thought."

LUKE "I feel like I'm on display." As he saw people look at them starting their lunch.

LORELAI "No they're looking at me in this pretty top."

Silence fell as they started eating, Luke with his turkey burger and Lorelai with a beef burger, with the lot. Luke always wondered where she put all that food.

LORELAI "We should have the wedding in the town gazebo."

Luke almost chocked, while they had talked about marriage in theory this was the first time in almost 2 years Lorelai had talked so openly about wedding plans, for a wedding that was not yet official. Regaining his composure.

LUKE "What and be on display for the whole crazy town?"

LORELAI "I think we own it to them and I doubt they will fit in the front lawn of our house."

LUKE "Why do we own the crazy town anything?"

LORELAI "Well they have been waiting for this for years."

LUKE "But what about the chuppah?"

LORELAI "You still want to use it?"

LUKE "I made it for you."

LORELAI "You made it for me when I was with Max."

LUKE "I know, I was there. Besides it was the only thing you kept, from before. I saw it in your yard after Chris left."

A lump formed in Lorelai's throat as she remembered all the Luke stuff she had packed up and sent back to Luke in his boat, the chuppah just didn't fit and was way to heavy. Lorelai asked Sookie to get Jackson to take it away but found out later they had hid it behind a shed on Jackson's farm. She was grateful they didn't burn it as requested, maybe Sookie knew something would happen?

LORELAI "I didn't keep it." She then explained what had happen to the chuppah and the 'Luke Stuff'.

LUKE "Well Sookie is smart, and I kept your Luke stuff."

LORELAI "You did." Smiling at this perfect man.

LUKE "I kept it in the boat in Liz's shed for months, then I put it in storage, I almost forgot about the stuff until now." Looking right in to her eyes. "We'll get it out when we get home."

LORELAI "You are too good for me Lucas."

They both lent in for a slow kissed before finishing off the quick lunch.

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

Arriving after 8 at their motel room, Lorelai opened the door as Luke struggled with the bags.

LORELAI "Finally!" She said falling down on the bed and kicked off her shoes.

LUKE "I wasn't the one who insisted on stopping for 2 hours while Jim replaced the CD player with something that now has DVD with 5.1 sound, digital TV, 7 inch widescreen, SatNav, cell phone link and an iPod connection, does the stupid thing even have a radio?"

LORELAI "Yes it does, I think. And it will be great for the rest of the trip. I won't get bored now."

LUKE "So you don't need me any more?"

LORELAI "I'll always need you." Winking and patting the bed. "Come here."

Luke had put down the bags walking over he sat on the edge of the bed, Lorelai moved to sit in his lap with her legs around him. They started to kiss, Luke's hands going under Lorelai's top, she was wearing a strapless bra and he teased at the back strap, finally undoing the clasp. Lorelai lifted her arms as Luke pulled the top over her head, along with the bra. Lorelai pushed Luke back and stared to undo his flannel, pulling the shirt up to kiss his stomach. Finally pulling his shirt off Luke went to pay attention to Lorelai's breasts, taking the left nipple in his mouth teased it with his tongue. Repeating the process on the right one.

Lorelai felt between her legs, Luke was ready for more and had been for minutes but Lorelai was enjoying his attention on her chest too much. She unzipped Luke's pants and reached inside, causing Luke to stop and moan. Lorelai got off the bed, undid her jeans and slid them down. Still in her thong she bent down and pulled of Luke's boots, then his pants and boxer shorts off.

LORELAI "Want you inside me, now!"

With that she sat back down, straddling him, pulling her thong to the side Luke positioned himself at her entrance, Lorelai lowed herself down causing them both to moan on contact. Leaning forward they kissed as she moved her hips making Luke go deeper with every stroke. It wasn't long before their orgasims hit.

LORELAI "See nine minutes." Lorelai joked and the both laughed

They lay the a few minutes before Luke spoke.

LUKE "So this new DVD player, you gonna watch them on the way to work? Because that's not really safe you know."

LORELAI "Oh shush you, resting now! And you broke it by the way."

LUKE "No the state of Arkansas broke it by having those stupid potholes in the highway."

LORELAI "Maybe we should sue them?" She said with a cheeky smile.

LUKE "I'll get right on to that."

LORELAI "No. Food. Now!"

LUKE "We had dinner an hour ago." Slowly getting up, going to his bag and pulling out some track pants Luke dressed as Lorelai talked.

LORELAI "Yes an hour ago and we just worked it off and do they really call that a 'Burger with the Lot', your burgers are way better. I want a Luke's burger!"

LUKE "How about a cup a noodles."

LORELAI "Home made?"

LUKE "Are we at home?" Looking around the motel room.

LORELAI "Okay but I hope they're good."

LUKE "Have I every let you down? It will just take a few minutes." Handing her the remote. "See what's on TV."

Lorelai laid on her front with her legs in the air as she turned on the TV. Luke washed up and then went about getting the food ready in the room's tiny kitchen. Luke had bought some other supplies at the 7/11, including something for breakfast, some vegetables pre-cut in a mixed bag with dressing. He set the table with plates and cutlery. As Luke was finishing up Lorelai got up and still naked quickly washed up before strutting back to the bags to find the robe from the Madison Hotel that she had but in her case when she thought Luke was not looking. She put is on and was impressed at what he had managed to do in a few short minutes. She enjoyed watching Luke prepare food, especially since he had no shirt on at this moment.

LUKE "Dinner round two is ready." Luke went and put on a t-shirt, Lorelai pouted at the lose of the floor show.

LORELAI "Wow Luke this is great, maybe you could have made me a new CD player with the lint and a couple of tic-tac's in the bottom of my hand bag. You're my very own MacGyver."

They kissed before Lorelai sat down. Doing up her robe, to Luke dismay.

LUKE "And for later."

As he sat down Luke bought over a Cheesecake, still in it's take-out bag.

LORELAI "I'm going to have to thank you again later, in a very special way."

LUKE "By washing the dishes?"

LORELAI "You got it."

Later after they washed the dishes together, Luke took his shower while Lorelai made use of the motels Wi-Fi connection, catching up with her emails from Rory, sending her pictures of the gazebo labelled 'Nice place for our wedding' as a joke. Then she made an over due phone call on her cell.

LORELAI "Hello it's me."

EMILY "We hello, are you okay."

LORELAI "Yes mum, just checking in to let you know everything is fine and we'll be in New Mexico tomorrow."

EMILY "Good, so is Luke keeping you out of trouble?"

LORELAI "Yep a dozen states and no arrest so far."

Emily decided to let the comment slide.

EMILY "So I heard from Rory, she emails me most days."

Lorelai knew this was a dig at her lack of contact.

LORELAI "Okay mum I'll send you an email with some pictures of the trip so far, well the PG ones."

EMILY "Lorelai! Do you have to be so crude?"

LORELAI "No but it keeps me young."

EMILY "So I guess things are going good with Luke."

LORELAI "Things are great."

EMILY "You sound happy, even talking to me."

LORELAI "Thanks mum." A short pause. "So we've been talking and let me just start by saying nothing is official yet but Luke and I have been talking about getting married." Silence on the line. "Mum are you there?"

EMILY "Yes Lorelai I'm here, I'm just picking my self off the floor. I'm in shock that you told me. Not that it's happening, I mean last time you left a message like that, you had just eloped with Chris. You have to learn to prepare a person before that kind of news. Next thing you know you'll tell me you're pregnant."

The line fell silent again as Lorelai didn't know what to say.

EMILY "Lorelai are you there? Oh my god, you're not pregnant are you, great you get yourself knocked up weeks after getting back with Luke, just what have you been doing on that trip?"

LORELAI "No mum I'm not pregnant, yet."

EMILY "Why is there a 'yet' Lorelai?"

Another short pause and Lorelai knew there was no going back now.

LORELAI "We are trying." She said softly.

The line was silent again, Emily had to think about this but what to say? Lorelai thought that finally she might have killed her mother with shock.

EMILY "Well at your age it might take a while."

Lorelai was surprised, not at the response but at her tone. It almost sounded like she cared.

LORELAI "That's what we thought. Nothing is for sure. I'll be 40 soon so we're not getting any younger. We're not doing anything special, just not using, you know, protection."

Even at 39 Lorelai thought this was a weird subject to be talking to her mother about, but it felt good and liberating to finally have an adult conversation with her mother without yelling and fighting.

EMILY "As long as you're happy Lorelai, I know you've had a hard year and things didn't work out with Chris, I just don't want you to be hurt."

LORELAI "How?"

EMILY "If it doesn't work out."

LORELAI "I'm staying with Luke Mum!"

EMILY "No I meant the baby plans. Like you said you're almost 40 so it might not happen, I just don't want you to get your hopes up too much."

Touched by the answer Lorelai felt tears in her eyes.

LORELAI "Thanks Mum." Clearing her throat. "Well I better go, It's getting late here and we had a long day."

EMILY "You're an hour ahead of us Lorelai... it was good to talk to you, about this. I'll send you back an email later."

Lorelai closed her phone and wiped the tears from her eyes just as Luke stepped out of the bathroom. Seeing Lorelai wiping the tears from her eye Luke walked up to her.

LUKE "Are you okay"

Lorelai got up and hugged Luke.

LORELAI "Yes, I just called my mother."

LUKE "What did she say to upset you."

LORELAI "No these are tears of joy, we had a real talk and she was good. She's pleased we're trying."

LUKE "Trying?"

LORELAI "To have a baby."

LUKE "Aw Geez you told her."

LORELAI "But she's happy and she agreed because we're getting older it's probably good we are starting to try. I think she wants another grandchild."

LUKE "Great! Now if I don't get you pregnant they'll blame me."

LORELAI "Well at least you'll know it's coming now."

Kissing Luke on the lips before breaking apart.

LORELAI "Okay I'll have my shower and join you in bed soon mister then we can get to that baby making again."

LUKE "Can't wait."

Lorelai spent longer in the shower than she thought, making sure not to wet her hair too much just before bed. She dried off and walked back to the bed naked hoping to get Luke's attention in the darkened room. When she left the bathroom, Luke didn't move, hopping in her side of the bed she slipped under the covers keeping to her side of.

LORELAI "So I think we're doing good, don't you. You know doing the right thing 'trying' to have a baby. I mean we both want this, I know I do. I have for 2 years since before the sidetrack we went on. I mean I never got this urge when I was married, something felt off and they do say it's not good to use a baby to try and fix a relationship, I read somewhere." She babbled. "So it never happened with Chris. But it feels right now."

Lorelai looked across to Luke, noticing he looked like he was fast asleep, dead to the world. Lorelai sighed and looked up to the ceiling. Thinking to her self how the long day must have worn him out.

LUKE "Yes I still want another kid."

Lorelai smiled and snuggled up to Luke.

LUKE "I told you already and I haven't changed my mind in the last few days. Just not tonight, you really wore me out this morning and before dinner. It's been a long day. But if you get some sleep tonight maybe we can try that whole baby making thing in the morning."

He kissed Lorelai on the top of her head, Lorelai smiling and giggled.

LORELAI "Lucas you never cease to amaze me."

LUKE "I try."
