Chapter 9:

Supply and Demand!

Lorelai was nervous about seeing Luke again, … in public, … with everyone watching, … now that she has seen him naked. She really didn't know how to act around him now. Do they tell people? Do they act "normal"?

They seemed to be of the agreement that they were … dating; Boyfriend and Girlfriend. So should she kiss him? In front of the town? Lorelai just wasn't sure. She just kept seeing him, at the diner, with the coffee pot, … naked. "Gah!"

Rory looked over at her mom, "Are you picturing him naked again?" she winced with a frustrated tone.

"I know, I know, I'm sorry. I'm sick."

"Remember I still have to respect him, he is my step father."

"What?"

"Luke told me how Grandma pronounced you husband and wife last night."

"Oh wow, is she ever gonna be surprised." Mom, I'm dating Luke. you know, the guy you've been accusing me ofhaving a thing for over a year now? Well, it turns out I broke off my engagement becuase of him, you were RIGHT! ... Geez! "and Especially after ... Saturd ... " Lorelai stopped herself, not wanting to remember the hurtful phrase.

Rory was concerned again, "What did she say exactly?" knowing Lorelai would feel better to let it out, and not have it fester inside, poisoning the already sensitive relationship.

"Rory,"

Rory was annoyed that her mom seemed to be avoiding the issue. "Mom, I want to know. It upset you enough to need to be comforted by Luke … " Then Rory made a disturbing connection. "Mom," Rory stopped in her tracks, "Your not with Luke just to piss off Grandma are you?"

"What? No!"

"Are you sure?" Rory was unconvinced.

Lorelai then pulled Rory in an ally one block from the diner. "Rory, I was upset with what Grandma said and how she treated Luke, but I told you last night, Luke and I are right. Now can we please not discuss me and Luke in the middle of town? There are spies everywhere. … No one knows about him presenting you, can we respect his wish for that?"

"Mom you two can't it hide forever, don't you wanna go on a real date with him?"

"Of course, I do." Lorelai now found it difficult to picture a patented Luke Danes date. "Look, it just happened. I don't know how public we are gonna be about this. Besides, Luke doesn't like to be the center of attention, you know that. And if we tell people we are together, they are gonna wanna know how we got together, and then they will know he presented you, thereby reneging on the former promise."

"Wow, Chilton is making us both smarter."

"I know,"Lorelai smiled.

"Okay fine. Let's go see your man."

When the Gilmores entered the Diner it was a busy with the Sunday brunch crowd. Luke was no where to be found.

Ben walked up to them, his large glasses peaking over his order pad. "What can I get you?"

"Hey Ben, where's Luke?"

"Oh, he's not here, he had a family thing to take care of."

Lorelai was naturally disappointed. A family thing could mean something happened with Jess.Geez, we can't leave him alone for one night! Now she was worried about what trouble The Punk had gotten himself into that would result in Luke not being at work. Accepting disappointment, the Gilmores ordered their breakfast and tried to push their worry asside.

777777777777777777777777777777777777777777

Having taken the day off, figuring her hangover would have been worse, Lorelai was free all day. So after breakfast, and since her boyfriend, Luke, That's right, it's getting easier to believe, was nowhere to be found, Lorelai suggested a mother daughter day of bonding; … by shopping, of course. Perhaps it was to detox from the Chanel and Aqua Net, perhaps to make sure everything was really okay between them, perhaps to keep her mind off of Luke's where abouts. It was also to cheer up her daughter after the confrontation with Christopher. Besides, now that Rory was a proper lady of society, she needed a new wardrobe to match.

They went from store to store, and Lorelai recounted her "mother of the debutante" experience and mocked the gossip the ball biddies were dishing. As they spent most of Sunday bonding over shoes and manicures, Rory would play "What about the time … ?"

"What about the time he was jealous of that Chilton dad asking you out?" both Gilmores were side by side, getting their nails filed.

"How do you even know about that?"

"You told me."

"Oh, right," Lorelai conceded, still deciding what color of nail polish that Luke would like best; Like he'd even notice!

"What about the time you talked him into putting the Rummage Sale sign up in the diner."

"Okay, … "

"And that was when we first learned about Rachel … "

" … Okay, Enough! I've noticed him, he has noticed me. He's liked me for a while and I have liked him for a while ... And now we are together!" Wanting desperately to change the subject to keep her daughter from the "I told you so" tone.

"I'll say … "

"What now?" sensing more behind the comment.

"Well, you did kiss him first, … which led to … more ... "

"Hey, what happened to being grossed out by that stuff? Let's go back to that!"

"It's more fun to watch you squirm, … "

"Hey speaking of squirming, Luke can do this thing … "Lorelai taunted, ... this will make you Stop!

Gross out factor is back! "OKAY, ENOUGH! Geez, I told you, I still have to respect him! … he's my mother's … suitor, ... and he gives me coffee, I see him everyday, you wouldn't want to corrupt your child?" And he was my father... figure … for a day, well everyday.

"Fine, fine." Feeling more needed to be said, "Rory, I just told you what happened, ALL of what happened, to be honest with you. You said you needed to know these things."

"Particularly when dad ruined your," Rory worded carefully, " … evening?"

"Well, if he didn't walk in, it would have been you, … think about that."

"I'll try Not to!" Rory winced.

77777777777777777777777777777777777777

They returned home with arms full of shopping bags. Both feeling the day was successful, both okay with the redefinition of the Lorelai/Luke relationship.

"Okay, okay call the Diner man!" Rory groaned tired of her mother complaining and speculating what he could be doing without her.

"That's my diner man. And Thank you, I will!" Lorelai smiled as she punched the numbers into the phone.

"Luke's"

Lorelai was taken off guard when Jess had answered. "Hey Jess," you little Punk, "it's Lorelai, … umm is Luke there?"

"No, he's out." Jess said his usual bored tone.

"Oh, okay? Ummm do you know when he'll be back?"

"No."

"Okay , have a good night." She hung up, "You big fat help."

"Hey mom?" Rory called from the hall.

"Yeah?"

"There's a message?"

Oh he called! "How could I have missed that Happy blinky light?" and she pressed the play button.

The nervous voice of Luke spoke through the machine, "Hey, Lorelai, … it's Luke, I had to go out of town today, … so I can't work on those trees, I'll get to them soon. Ummmm, I'll see you at the diner tomorrow."

Rory looked confused "Trees? Is that some kind of 'dirty' code?"

"Yeah, it's code for we have over grown trees and he was going to prune them, … or something."

"Okay?" Rory still not following.Where did that come from? Are they already in a rut?

"During the escort escape? When he cut through the back yard, he noticed they were over grown, and he wanted to do that for us cause … he's Luke. He cares." She was still curious at what family thing, that didn't involve Jess, could keep Luke away from his girlfriend.

"Wow, … Hot?" Rory said dryly, unimpressed with Luke's courting techniques.

"Hey, he probably didn't know if you'd hear this or not, so he was playing it safe because he doesn't know you know."

Sensing that not seeing her man made Lorelai crabby, Rory now only wanted to cheer up her mother from her disappointment. "Well, now we have plenty of time to pick out an outfit that will make his sorry he missed you today."

"Well, you know, it has to be work appropriate, A halter top will not due, especially with how cold it is now."

"Maybe with the right blazer?"

"I like the way you think."

7777777777777777777777777777777777

Okay, Take two.

Monday Morning wasn't as depressing as it usually would be. Well, for Lorelai Gillmore anyway. It wasn't that she was looking forward to going to work, or beaming with pride at her daughter going to one of the best private schools in the country. No, it was because she was going for Coffee. Coffee from Luke's Diner. Coffee from Luke. well, just Luke.

"Stop picturing him naked." Her daughter scolded the smile on Lorelai's face.

"I'm sorry,"

"You still don't know what's gonna happen?"

"Yeah I know, but I figure … I'll just follow his lead."

"Okay, so if he kisses you passionately in front of everyone?"

"I would have no problem with that."

"What if he ignores you, then apologizes over the answering machine?"

"As long as the message was in a timely manner? Like five seconds after ... "

"Okay, I still think this is weird."

"Well You and Dean are already the Stars Hollow's golden couple. You think I want to steal that title from my only daughter."

"YES! You can be very competitive."

"Since when?"

"The dance marathon rivalry with Kirk? Hello!"

"Oh fine, bring that up again! It's once a year!"

"Mom! He's won 2 years in a row to your eternal dismay. They might as well play kung fu fighting for you two … "

"I'm so gonna get him next year," Lorelai was already formulating how she could con Luke into dancing with her.

"Why don't you just dance with Kirk then you'd both win?"

"EWWW, and Hello he's a trophy hog!"

"And you're not?"

"Exactly! I am I'd want to be the one wheeling it around in a little red wagon."

Rory then pushed her mother into the diner with a jingle above the door. Lorelai had to smile, her diner man was back where he was supposed to be, behind the counter, with Coffee; If he was naked, Life would be perfect.

Rory whispered, "Stop it! and Let's sit!"

They sat at a table and Lorelai was a high school teen again. Not only was she sitting in her usual "hang out" with "her best friend" anticipating contact with her "crush", boyfriend, whatever. But she knew something everyone else in town didn't. Luke and I had sex. Luke appeared to be brooding. No doubt, he missed me too. The ball capped diner man was giving Jess an order which Jess reluctantly followed. Poor guy,only feeling sympathy for her man.

"Stop staring at him." Rory was dutifully checking about making sure no one noticed.

"I wasn't staring."

"Yes, you were, and you're too quiet, … act normal "

"By nature, I am not normal." Lorelai reasoned.

"Well, make a weird nonsensical observation then … "

"Ummmm like why do we park in a driveway and drive on a parkway?"

"I've heard it before, but that'll do … "

"What can I get you?" Luke had snuck up on thembeside their table.

"Do you have to ask?" Lorelai smiled.

"Orange juice and a fat free muffin, you got it!"

Oh, you love to tease me."Luke?"

"Luke, can I place my own order?" Rory begged.

"Ummm Luke?" Lorelai tired to get his attention again.

"What do you want?" he said to Rory.

"Cheddar-Jack eggs with bacon, sausage and coffee"

"Fine, it'll be a few minutes." And with that he was gone.

"Luke?" Lorelai called after him, dumbfounded she faced her daughter. "Is he seriously gonna bring me a muffin and juice?" Lorelai was astounded by the cold shoulder.

"You like muffins."

"Not gross fat free muffins." Lorelai whined, "The fat is what makes them good!"

"That is why I am nice to him, and don't talk back."

"Hey, I was REALLY nice to him the other … " in her slutty suggestive tone.

"I'm not listening LA LA LA can't hear you LA LA LA."

"Stop that! people are staring."

"Then stop complaining and go clear up your order."

And that is just what Lorelai did. She stood up and went to the counter as Luke was refilling the coffee machine, making a fresh pot for Rory. "Hey Luke, how about we try that again?" she laughed, waiting for the joke to fade.

"Try what?"

"My order?"

"What about your order?"

"You are so funny,"She began to wonder how long he was gonna stick this out. I thought being girlfriend to the diner owner, I'd at least get free refills." ... but you don't joke about breakfast, it's the most important meal of the day! Particularly when bacon and coffee are involved! I assure you, that if you bring me juice and a fat free muffin, both WILL end up on that ball cap." With or without you in it! She couldn't believe this conversation was taking place. He was her boyfriend and so cold to her, and they didn't even have a fight. Well, now they were in a fight. "Luke, please, give me the breakfast I want." She tried tos weet talk him as she had done time and time before the were together.

Luke refused, "What you want or what you need? " If Lorelai hadn't been so annoyed or confused that would have been a 'dirty', but Luke continued. " … Cause you need to be taking better care of yourself."

"How can you be so mean after …" she trailed off almost devulging the delicious secret. She saw a flicker of concern cross Luke's face over what she was getting at. It didn't last as she scrambled to fill her pregnant pause. " ... our many years of friendship … " she saved. Lorelai was then distancing the subject further from the secret. "And How do you expect to keep people coming in here if you don't give them what they want. We need to work on your customer service skills, buddy."

"Are you telling me how to run my diner?"

"Basic capitalism, my friend, supply and demand? I demand you retake my order, since you didn't really take it the first time, and supply me with what I want."

"That's it, Storage Room." He pointed.

"Are you seriously sending me to a time out?" I didn't even do anything wrong! This was not the sweet diner man she had made love to the other night.

"Storage Room, now!" Luke stood firm and spun her to face the curtain, and shoved her out of public view.

Lorelai obeyed, very mad at him as he followed her. She entered the store room that technically she wasn't supposed to be in because his insurance didn't cover her. "Luke what is your problem?" genuinely hurt.

"This," and when the storage room door closed, Lorelai found his lips on hers. She instinctively closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Luke?" she managed between pecks, " … what the hell?" She still enjoyed the affection.

"I'm giving you what you want," And his arms tightened around her.

Still a little stunned, Lorelai mumbled, "That's more like it." and she now saw it was all a ploy to get her alone.

Luke pulled away only for the need of oxygen. "Good morning."

"Good morning, … are you pregnant? That's quite a mood swing you had there."

He was cradling her in his arms. "Well, " he started sheepishly, " I didn't know how to act around you, ... you know, ... in public after … Saturday.We really didn't talk about … that, … So I figured I just act … normal."

"Quite the performance." She kissed him again. "I think you scared Rory with that fat free muffin."

"Yeah, well, it's not like I could flirt with you in front of her."

"Why not?" According to her you've done it before!

"She doesn't know."

"She knows." She smiled reassuringly.

"She knows?"

"I told her."

"You told her?" Already?

"You asked me to. So I told her," Right away,then Lorelai felt Luke tense up in her arms.

What about the firecracker? "How did she take it?"

"Well, she was excited at first, then mad, then concerned, then ended at happy."

"That is quite a journey."

"And all in 10 minutes, no less."

"So she knows."

"Yup, Everything."

"Everything?" he asked.

" 'Everything' everything." Lorelai confirmed.

"As in you and me?"

"And Chris makes three."

"But that is ... everything." he emphasized again, making sure they were on the same page.

"James Bond everything … "

"Ahhhhhhh, and she was okay with that … too?" mildly uncomfortable that Rory knew everything about that night, not used to that open and honest of a relationship with a parent. Sure, Luke had been close to his dad, but Luke never told his father when Rachel and him had sex. Maybe that was why Lorelai was such a good mom. They could talk about those things.

Lorelai continued to explain,"Well, by nature, I am … impulsive, so she's used to that. That is why she was concerned, you know, cause I was just jumping into … this thing … with you, … and she wanted to make sure that you wouldn't get hurt, or that I wouldn't get hurt."

"Okay, well you know her best. So, … she's fine with … us."

"Perfectly fine." And Lorelai enjoyed his embrace, snuggling into his chest, savoring the warmth. "Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"Where were you yesterday?"

"Why? Did you miss me?"

"Answer and we'll see."

"A friend of mine needed some help, so I offered to go there and help."

"A friend?"

"Yeah?"

"Anyone I know?"

"Nope."

"Anyone I'm gonna meet?"

"Maybe, if you behave yourself."

"Like this?" and she kissed him again.

"Definitely earning points." And he kissed her back, "Okay, it's not exactly right to do this, … with all this food around, health department inspections and all that."

"My my, what were you planning?"

Ignoring her, Luke continued, " ... and Rory has a bus to catch, Jess has school, you have to eat, I have eggs to make, and People will be wondering what is keeping us."

"People will talk." She tried to kiss him again.

"Lorelai, how about we continue this later?"

"What you want to meet me at the Inn's stables? Are we gonna make out all over town?"

"No, since Rory knows, how about … I pick you up."

"Like a date?"

"Our first date."

The teenager giddiness was back, "alright, … when?"

"Tonight?"

"I knew it! You can't be away from me."

"You're the only reason I don't turn this place into a juice bar,"

"That and it's easier to sell a burger than a Sprouts sandwich."

"Supply and Demand?"

"Exactly!" she kissed him again before they left the storage room.

"sooo, tonight?" he repeated.

"I have a staff meeting at the Inn. how about, tommorow?"

"It's a date." he smiled.

7777777777777777777777

For the benefit of the Diner, "You are so Stubborn!" Lorelai shouted.

"You wanna kill yourself that bad? fine!"

"Fine!" she echoed.

"Ceasar!" and Luke went to put Rory's order in.

Lorelai went back to her table with a smile on her face. Anyone else would have said it was because she won with Luke. Lorelai knew it was because no one was the wiser that their reletionship had evolved.

"Mom?"

"Yes?"

"Are you stuck with muffins?"

"No, I got what you got."

"Is everything ... okay?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, he seemed … upset?"

"Yeah, he did, didn't he?" Lorelai smiled deviously.

"OH God," now recognized the smile from when her mother did something slutty.

"What?"

"Please tell me round three didn't happen on my breakfast?"

"Honey, give Luke a little credit … " He takes his time, the man has stamina!

"Don't finish that sentence! I sense a drity coming on!"

" …to the establishment he runs ... " Lorelai smiled. "Seriously get your mind out of the gutter."

"Well, hello pot, meet the kettle!" This from the woman who can't stop picturing Luke naked!

"Although, now that you mention it … "

"Stop! Please ... you weren't this bad with Max."

"Maybe that was the problem?"

"Aw geez!" Rory's head was now in her hands.

"Here you go, " Luke put the plates on their table, and Rory now noticed howLuke was unable to look at her; "Jess? two Coffees," Luke pointed to the Gilmore's table and he was off to his other patrons.

"Mom?"

"Hmmm?" Lorelai was focused on her lovely bacon.

"Does Luke know … I know?"

"Yes," Lorelai nodded as she salted her eggs. He he, assaulted eggs.

"He seems uncomfortable," Rory observed.

"Well, he knows you know everything.."

"Everything?"

Lorelai wiggled her eyebrows.

"Ahhhhhhh, everything, everything, okay. That explains it." He will never look me in the eye again!

7777777777 After School 7777777777777777

Monday afternoon, Rory was waiting for her mom and dinner, getting in as much studying as she could at the diner's counter. There were only a few out of towners in the dinerduringthe pre-dinner lull. It was the first time Luke and Rory were alone since the father/daughter dance, and since sleeping with her mom, Luke observed. He tried to keep busy with ketchup dispensers and clearing tables.

Rory noticed Luke was visibly uncomfortable still. Since it was pretty much dead in the diner, save for a few strangers and tourists, she felt safe bringing up the sensitive subject as she sat at the counter.

"Luke?"

"Ummm yeah?" focusing on a stuborn dried stain of something.

"I wanted to thank you again, for the ... " And her volume dropped, "B-A-L-L … thing." She spelled it out, literally.

"You're welcome," He smiled, sitll not raising his head.

"Well, you really saved the day, by just being there, by being you."

"Hey you could have said no, and I would have been fine with that."

"Still you did a lot of stuff you wouldn't normally do."

"Yeah well, supply and demand, right?" smiling at Lorelai's words from earlier. "There was a need, I just filled it."

"Yeah, … And you know, you and mom made a cute couple the other night." She added casually.

Here we go, "You think so," knowing she was trying to walk on egg shells for him. He was still trying to figure out her angle. Was this a treat my mom right or die speech?

"Yeah, and it's fine with me it you want to, … you know, take her out … , " she leaned in and whispered, " … on a date."

Luke leaned in on the counter too, "So, what your saying is … I have your blessing?"

"You could say that." Rory smiled.

"What about … Max?" he asked cautiously.

"What about him?" her brow furrowed in confusion, Where that came from, trying to figure out his angle.

"Well, he was almost your … step dad, you had some sort of … reletionship, bond, with him.I expect you still see him at school, right? The whole situation with your mom and him is so … recent. And this thing between her and meis so … sudden."

Rory reassured him, "Luke, I am … concerned. But, I trust you. Honestly, I'm more concerned of mom hurting you than you hurting her."

"Well, how about you watch my back, okay?"

"Throw in some pie and you got a Deal, … " she wanted a moment, while he cut her theunnecessarybribe,"Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"I meant all those things I said, about you being like family. I meant every word."

"I appreciate that. And I meant 'em too." Thinking of his haphazard speech when offering his sevices for the ball.

"You know, … I … care about you, … right? I mean, like a big brother kinda way. Well not brother, cause that would get weird with you and mom.."

He was relieved that she was a little uncomfortable too, "Rory, … I get it," he smiled.

"I am fine with it, I'm just still … getting used to it. I used to dream you guys would get together."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I thought we could live in the diner and have coffee and pie whenever we wanted." Luke raised an eyebrow, "Hey, The dream of a 12 year old."

"Practical?" he supported her line of tihnking, and smiled. "Well, not sure how much room we'd have now with Jess around. Maybe I don't need that storage room anyway." and he wondered if Lorelai already told Rory about this mornings exchange in the storage room. " … and you know, you already do get pie whenever you want." The jokes made things normal again. "I'm glad your okay with it, and I will take good care of her." Luke smiled again.

"I know you will." Rory grinned back, Because you love her.

Just then, the Lorelai the Tornado came tearing through, "OH my God! I'm gonna kill Jackson for bringing Rune to this town. All day with his whining and complaining, someone should give him a taste of his own medicine!"

Luke and Rory exchanged a look, I wonder who'd be up for that job.

"What?"Lorelai was out of the moment the diner man and the town's angel had shared.
