Chapter 6:
AFTER-BALL, AFTER-GLOW
For the first time in a week, Lorelai was completely, utterly … relaxed. It felt so good to be out of that dress, out of high heels, out of anything resembling clothing. Lorelai was warm, naked, and basically couldn't stop kissing the wonderful, wonderful man beside her. Yes sir, happy and relaxed, Sex can do that.
The gruff voice of "the warm body" whispered between pecks on her shoulder, "I'm not sure how lady-like all that was?", then he kissed her mouth again. They were lying on their sides, face to face, contently absorbing what just happened. Luke traced a lazy finger up and down the bare skin of her spine.Lorelai caressed his chest and the sides of his ribcage. She gazed at the 'warm body' next to her, with a dopey grin on her face. Luke is naked in my room, hell, in my bed,… with me! She giggled, "Well, You know that whole James Bond thing definitely works for you." Lorelai was thinking of his tux, now strewn about her bedroom floor.
"You know, the whole Bond Girl thing really works for you." Luke was thinking of how easy her strapless dress was to remove.
"Ooooooh Luke." she teased, as any Bond girl would.
"Aw Geez," but Lorelai pressed her body against his, and rolled Luke onto his back, so she was on top of him, as their lips met eagerly again.
After a few minutes of that distraction, Lorelai smiled down at Luke, enjoying her new perspective of the diner man, my diner man, "Hi".
"Hi,"Luke smiled back.
"Thank you." she said simply.
"My pleasure, … see now THAT was more lady like." His hands resting on her hips.
She chuckled again. Sex really loosens him up. " I meant about the entire evening. And for always being there." Brushing his hair back, since it got messed up during their calorie burning activity.
"Again, my pleasure. And you can stop saying thank you … it's just weird now… " He took in every inch of her face, his hands now free to roam her body. He never wanted this to end. This situation was not even close to any of the ways Luke had thought he and Lorelai would finally get together. How one day, she would just look up from her coffee mug and be madly in love with him. He was brought back to savoring the "here and now" when Lorelai began to litter his chest with kisses again.
"What are you doing?"
"Round two," she mischievously grinned.
"You are gonna kill me woman."
"We'll die happy," and she kissed him again.
Luke knew a few thing should be settled before round two. "Lorelai, wait," Reason is better late then never.
"Why?" she pouted.
He took a deep breath, "How are we going to tell Rory… ?"
Oh, That's right, I'm a mom. "Tell her what?"
Luke was surprised he needed to clarify, " About … us?"
"Us?" it sounded so foreign to her. Oh MY God, is there an "US"?
"Yes, you and me, what just happened?"
Oh God, I didn't think about Rory, how this would affect her. I was only thinking of … well, Luke. Can you blame her? "Well I like the James Bond excuse?" she offered with a worried smile.
"Lorelai, I'm serious."
"Well, why do we have to tell her?" It can be our little secret, oooooo secret sex with Luke. That could be so hot.
"Why wouldn't we tell her? you tell her everything." she's avoiding the issue. Right away … BAD!
"Well she.. doesn't always like to hear about this stuff. You know… my love life.." Sure that was plausible.
"Really? She is only your daughter and best friend. A few months ago you were engaged to one of her teachers. She was going to have a step father. For the very first time, there was going to be a man living in this house … and you expect me to believe that you never discussed Max with her?"
Damn he knows us so well. "Well, that was different" Lorelai shrugged.
"How? How is this any different?"
She didn't know how to answer, she didn't have a reason, so she didn't say anything. She just put her head on his chest in defeat, wishing she could rekindle the warm sensations from before. That would take his mind off it.
Luke sighed, "Oh, … I see..", with the painful realization. It seemed his earlier reluctance was right on the money.
Lorelai's head shot up, "What?" Scared of what he concluded on his own. Luke remained quiet, and she saw pain in his eyes, a pain she put there with her own silence. "Luke?"
"Damn it, Lorelai," and Luke got out of the bed to find the jeans and flannel he left here earlier.
She sat up quickly, with the sheet barely covering her. "No, Luke wait, … I'm sorry, …"
"That this happened?" he snapped at her, when he finished pulling on his boxers.
She was stunned silent, all she got out was soft, "Ouch."
"Oh, did that hurt?" Luke couldn't look at her at that moment. He closed his eyes to hide the pain, even though he knew they had already betrayed him. He was conflicted. He wanted to leave, yet he remained still. Wanting as much as she was willing to give him. Still knowing in the back of his mind, it wouldn't be enough. Realistically, he may never have all of her. He found his jeans on the chair from earlier, pulled them on as quickly as he could.
"Luke, talk to me."
"About what?" as he zipped up the jeans.
"Well, sports scores of course, why you are upset?"
"Well I don't know ... , one minute I'm filling in for Rory's Dad, then we were dancing and I thought, maybe, something was happening there. The next we are talking and have another nice moment, the next minute you are kissing me, something definitely happening there! and then we …" gesturing to the bed "we, … you know…, and now our friendship is shot to Hell!"
"Luke, this was amazing, and … unexpected … I'm still processing it…"
"Processing it?" he repeated.
"Yes," she watched him pace as he took in her excuse. "Luke…?"
He stopped and faced her again, "JESUS Lorelai! you know, I only came back here to change and DAMN IT …. Things have changed." How could he have been so stupid? He knew coming up the stairs this would happen. "I just…" He knew it was too good to be true." … I want to know … what this was to you…"
"Luke… I, " she was having trouble breathing now, frantic for a way to make him stay. He can't leave this house angry after we… we…
Not liking how she was starting out, he began to grab his t-shirt.
"Luke, no, please, … don't leave. Talk to me." Now kneeling in her bed.
"You want me to talk? Okay fine, Lorelai, …. Let's talk " he took another angry breath for the impending rant. He stood at the foot of the bed, and let her verbally have it. "This was not just a one night stand for me, okay. This was not a fling or friends with benefits. This was what I've wanted for a long, long time. I've wanted you. This amazing beautiful woman, who is my best friend in the world. Everyone can see how I feel about you, Lorelai; every one has seen it, but you. Hell Rachel saw it, and she left because of it!"
"What?" Rachel?
Crap, I didn't mean for that to slip out. Some what deflated, Luke explained. "… She … she saw … how I felt about you, … even when I wouldn't admit it to myself." He ran his fingers through his hair as he shook his head. "And she told me, 'don't wait too long to tell her', … and I was going to, finally had the nerve, I was face to face with you. Alone with you. 5 more minutes and you would have brow beat it outta me any way. It was on the tip of my tongue, … and then, … Max showed up … for your date. then next thing I know you are engaged and my chance is gone."
He paused for a moment, if she was still processing their intimate encounter, she may need a few moments while he unloaded this on her too. "Seeing you with Max, plan your wedding, was torture. Okay! It was killing me to carve that damn Chuppah, but I did it! I wanted you to be happy.That is all I've ever wanted. You asked if I got my invitation, the truth is I didn't want to go. Why would I want to watch as you happily promised yourself to another man?"
That was why he was so distant with the wedding, he was… jealous.Absorbing this new information, Lorelai played with the fabric that covered her, wondering how she couldn't have put that together before. Ashamed she hadn't been more sensitive when flaunting Max in front of Luke.
"… But then something happened. You called it off and left town for your little road trip. And I was … relieved. Hell, I was out right ecstatic; you should have seen me. Ask Sookie, when I found out you called it off, I gave the entire town free coffee all day long with a dumb schmuck grin on my face. I was nice to Kirk! Taylor actually called me … agreeable!"
Lorelai stared at him with new eyes. All those stolen glances, butterflies in her stomach, his jealous tendencies, all these years; … they were real, every last one of them. The town was right after all. Luke did have a thing for her, and she was now willing to admit, she had a thing for him, too.
"Well, I see that baring my soul has had no effect on you. so … I'm gonna go, okay, and we can just … forget this ever happened," he almost choked on the phrase. " … we'll never speak of it again. we'll just go on as before." Please say we can have what we had before.
Lorelai finally spoke. "I don't want to forget it."
"What?" Luke wasn't sure if that was good or bad?
"I don't want to forget." She came to the foot of the bed, she haphazardly wrapped the sheet around her, and grabbed his wrist to keep him from leaving. It was her turn to explain her perspective on things. "The past few days, … spending time with you, … being with you; has made me think of all you've done for me … and Rory. You are always there Luke. You said it to Max, 'doesn't matter what time it is, I'll always be around.' "
"You remember that?"
"Yeah, well, in a way … that comment sparked … the engagement." She admitted.
"What?" he now needed to sit down on the bed. HOW?
"Well, Max sorta, .. sensed … something between you and me." She was still holding Luke's hand, to keep him from escaping. " … and he only saw us together for what? … 5 seconds. And that caused a fight to ensue, and he … proposed mid-argument. " Lorelai winced, she never told anyone that before, not even Rory, that the initial proposal was during a 'who slept with who contest'. She played with Luke's fingers, as she knelt next to him on the bed. "In a way you also … ended the engagement. I … I was only a few days from getting married, and I didn't see it as a big deal. You know, it was this life altering thing and I almost didn't care. I didn't' see that adjustments had to be made to the routine. At my bachelorette party, my mother was gushing how excited, and nervous, and …sure, … she was when she married my dad… She couldn't stop trying on her wedding dress. I didn't have that feeling. I wasn't even looking forward to having him around all the time. It was almost a burden to find room for all his stuff. He got so upset over a stupid set of keys. Jumping to conclusions all the time."
Lorelai took a deep breath to continue, "And then you came, with this beautiful, hand made chuppah. And our little talk made me think. I mean, Max and I, we fought, you know, over stupid stuff, did I want that every day? I kept wondering if he wanted to change me? Was Max the one who would put up with all my crap? Was he The one? Should I settle, if I wasn't sure?'
"And if I'm being honest, I hated the thought of you with Rachel. Not just when she came back. Which I totally was uncomfortable with. but even the mere idea of her with you, even if it was ancient history. I got, … jealous, and I was angry that someone could hurt you that way, and still affect you. I mean for so long ,.. it seemed like … you were there … just for me."
Luke put his hand on her cheek. "I can be … I want to be."
"I would really like that."
They just stared at each other, both not knowing what to do next.
Lorelai was still a little unsure of where they stood, so she draped her arms around his shoulders hoping that would help keep him here. "Soooo, fight over?"
Luke grinned, and rubbed the forearm around him. "I don't know, is this where we kiss and make up?"
Her smile was back. "Round two and make up?" Please say there is still a round two.
They passionately came together again.

Once again, same couple, same bed. The new and nude couple were relaxed and warm, clinging more tightly this time. And Lorelai made one of her brilliant observations.
"Do you realize we've had sex for the first time, had our first fight and our first make up sex in the span of 45 minutes."
"Well we are just moving right along aren't we…"
We'll be engaged by Christmas.I will be pregnant in January. Stop THAT! "Luke?"
"Yeah?"
"I am glad this happened."
"Me too, " happy that the wait was finally over, he was finally honest with himself and her. "..… Permission to speak freely?"
"Granted."she grinned at his use of protocol.
Luke shifted so he could look her straight in the eye. "Christopher is an idiot." He had to get that off his chest.
"Well, so is Rachel."
"I mean it, For leaving you, and Rory, I mean, that remarkable girl shares chromosome with the idiot and despite it … she still turned out … to be one of the best and the brightest. And it was all you."
Lorelai smiled. "You know I had help."
"Not from me,"
"Yes from you, you made sure that the house never caved in on us crushing out pretty little heads, that's a big help. And that we were fed, and make sure we weren't cranky without our coffee."
"Lorelai, I met Rory when she was 12, she was already well on her way to being … well, … Rory… "
"Still, you've done more in five years than her father has done in her entire life. It should have been your name they read tonight."
"Lorelai…" he was about to argue that she was giving him too much credit.
"Idiot pretty much covers it." she agreed." besides, their stupidity is what brought us together now, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Maybe I should send Rachel a fruit basket." Lorelai was now done with the topic.
"Soooo" Luke tried to find a new line of pillow talk, a topic he still wanted resolved. "How are we going to tell Rory… ?"
"Well, not tonight."
"Lorelai…"
"What you expect me to ambush her as soon as she comes home, 'hey guess what I just did.. ? or rather whom.?' "
"No!"
"Okay then, I'll tell her … soon. I promise."
His eyes narrowed, testing her.
"I'm trustworthy, I made good on my last promise…" no one knows you went to the ball.
"And look how that turned out," and he kissed her, then nuzzled her lovely neck.
"What are you doing?" she smiled.
"Round three."
OH MY GOD, this is better than any dream. "I'll say one thing for the track team, you boys have stamina!" she hissed, feeling her desire take hold again.
"Am I gonna have to make you more Coffee?"
"Oh God, you are not going anywhere!" Only wanting him to continue the wonderful things he was doing to her. Luke, My new addicton.
"For the last time, I'm not God." He teased.
"Well it's almost Sunday."
"Not the God of Coffee or anything." He whispered.
"Shut up," she pulled him in for another involved kiss.
This time, Luke rolled Lorelai on her back and focused the kisses to her neck and collar bone. Things were just getting heated; when suddenly, they heard the whine of Lorelai's bed room door opening. The entangled couple froze.Oh, GOD!
Luke whispered into Lorelai's ear, "Please tell me it's not Rory." but then again who else could it be. Oh man, it's awful for her to find out like this!
Lorelai's eyes were wide as she glanced at the door. "It's not Rory" she confirmed, though she was equally mortified.
