Chapter 14:
I LOVE THE SMELL OF SEXUAL FRUSTRATION IN THE MORNING!

Lorelai frantically maneuvered the halls of the empty school. She passed other parents who claimed their high class hoodlums, hoping hers was okay. She finally spotted Rory, and hugged her baby. "What happened? The reception on the phone sucked, and all I heard was 'Rory' and 'Chilton' and 'get down here.' Who's butt does Luke have to kick!"

"We didn't go to breakfast."

"What are you talking about? "

"We came here. They broke into the Headmaster's office as the big initiation. "

"Oh, those stupid girls." Will the young ever learn!

"Mm hmm," Rory nodded, " Part of the initiation was ringing a bell. So that's what I was doing when security showed up and they called you. "

Wait a minute?" That's what you got busted for, …ringing a bell? "

" Yeah, mm hmm. "

"That's it? Bell ringing? " I missed out on time alone with Luke cause some stupid girls wanted my daughter to RING A BELL?

"Yes. "

"Uh, were you at least smoking a Cuban cigar while you were doing it? " Come on! make my day here…

"Mom," as if I would do that?

Unable to grasp the absurdity of the charge, Lorelai went into a mock scolding… "No, I mean, bad girl. How many times have I told you not to ring bells? "

"Let's go." Rory sighed, knowing she'd never live this one down.

Lorelai was perking up again with the teasing, humor being her defense mechanism." They can dent or scratch and they make dogs crazy. Who do you think you are, the hunchback of Notre Dame? Are you French, are you circular, I don't think so. "

"I'm walking to the car now."

Seriously, " Wait, hold on. How much trouble are you in? Should I go talk to the Headmaster? "

"No, I think it's gonna be okay." I only did what they asked and got in trouble for it, the hypocrites!

"Okay. Uh, was it a big bell at least? "

"Mom!"

"Okay, I'm sorry, I'll stop."

"I hope I didn't ruin your shut eye, I know you're not a morning person."

Lorelai forced a smile, "Yeah well, huh… yeah," and cleared her throat.

"What?" Rory asked puzzled by what bothered her mother.

"Oh no … It's nothing?" trying to shrug it off not really wanting to concern her teen further with her sex life, or lack of one.

"Was it a Luke dream?" Rory winced.

"Well… a Luke reality," Lorelai admitted

"What?" it was then Rory noticed a blue bra strap peaking out of Lorelai's red sweatshirt. She doesn't wear a bra to bed.

"Well when you were kidnapped, so I took the opportunity … and … Luke came over… and then we got the call…"

"Not during?" Rory almost didn't want to know.

"No, but just before," Lorelai sighed heavily.

"So you two still haven't …"

"Nooooooooo," trying to hide her annoyance.

"Oh mom, I'm so sorry!"

"It's fine, well it will be…" as soon as you and Jess go to college!

"Man this is my fault."

"Rory, no. It's just … our current living situation. He has Jess, I have you, I have the better end of that deal mind you…. we'll figure something out."

When they got in the jeep Rory had to ask, "Mom?"

Lorelai put her keys in the ignition, she smiled, "Yeah, sweets?"

"Do you think… maybe … Luke and you weren't supposed to be together?"

"What?"

"No, not like ever, … just like … not now? Like you're timing is off? Maybe it's too soon?"

"Or too late?"

"No, I don't think it would ever be too late."

"But you think it's too soon?" Okay, how does the even make sense?

"Well," Rory didn't want to rain on her mom's happiness with Luke.

"Too soon after Max?" like pulling teeth.

" … Think about it you haven't really dated much."

That you know of…

"… And Luke hasn't dated much …"

Again that you know of…

"Maybe fate is telling you guys you need to grow a little."

"Rory, I appreciate the thought. But … Luke is … Different, he's an amazing guy, and I've finally seen it. 5 years he was in front of me, 5 years … wasted. … I'm not letting him go just because we can't … you know. Are there speed bumps right now? Yes. But I'm not giving up so easily. I told you that I wouldn't. Luke and I are not gonna … take a break, we are not Ross and Rachel… We just gotta … work through it…"

"Though you do have the alliterating couple thing …"

"Ok comparison stops there…" and Lorelai started up the jeep to head home. "No one is getting in the way."

"No one?"

"Oh um…." Lorelai hadn't realized that was out loud. Lorelai knew she hadn't been sharing all that was bothering her about Emily's backhanded insults with Rory, but this she could share freely. " A woman hit on Luke." She whined, surely Rory would understand how upsetting this could be.

"Again?"

"I know! As soon as he is off the market, women notice him." Lorelai shrugged as she pulled out of Chilton.

"Like you did when Rachel was in town?"

Shooting her daughter a side ways glance, because she had to keep her eyes on the road. "Well yeah, but now I'm on the other end of it, and it's the second time it's happened in as many weeks, and I gotta tell ya, … I don't like it!"

"Technically you weren't with Luke when Kitty made her move…"

"But we were giving the illusion of being a married couple, as my mother requested, and the … hoochie still went for him."

"And now…?"

"Now… Ava, from the booster club, who I'm gonna have to see every other week mind you, … was getting real cozy with my Luke."

"Awww, your Luke."

"But why did he have to flirt with her?"

"Mom Luke only flirts with you and you know it. Maybe he was just … being polite. Besides he's got you now."

"Yeah, he does have me…" she smiled at the small comfort.

"Where is he now?"

"Well, with any luck he's still in my room."

"Patiently waiting your return? Awwwww that's so cute."

"I know …"

When the Gilmores returned home, Rory was thankful she could go back to bed and not have to worry about the Franklin for a few hours, Paris was bound to be in a state for not being puffed. Rory did make a crack to her mother about keeping it down, If she only knew, Lorelai smiled as she went up the stairs. Lorelai opened her door, and saw the room was empty. Lorelai frowned as she fell on the bed. He left… again…

Staring at the ceiling, Lorelai sighed. You keep this up Gilmore, It won't be long before Ava gets her way. Now she was mad. Lorelai had told him she would be back. She had driven to Hartford with her lingerie still on, still hoping some time with Luke would be her reward for trying to be a good Chilton mom. Even if it was just a clothed morning in bed with Luke, she still wanted to see him, to talk to him, and just to be alone in the same room with him. Lorelai now only wanted to call in sick, Can't … the Bridezilla wedding that you are organizing must go on … Damn it! Oh I'm gonna be in fine form today, Emily will be so proud, well, First time for everything.

77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777

Luke found it a little weird that neither Gilmore made an appearance at breakfast. After last night, everything seemed normal again. Both Luke and Lorelai were concerned about Rory's safety, Luke and Lorelai had made up, they still weren't having sex. Yup, everything is back to normal.

Luke was now wondering if maybe the night of the ball was some grand fluke. He remembered Rory telling him about her mythology section of English class, how the gods were always using their divine influence to screw with the hero's heads and lives … most of the time for no reason at all. Always talking about not screwing with Fate or Destiny. There is no fate, or crazy gods out to get ya, Danes.

The phone rang and Luke was thankfully brought out of his speculation. "Luke's"

"Hey, Luke, It's Sookie."

"Oh Hey, what can I do for you?"

"Well, I was hoping you could do me a little favor."

"I'm not adding Cayenne pepper to my meatloaf."

"No, no, actually it's about Lorelai."

"What happened? Is she okay?" Is she sick? Car Accident? Are the breakfast kidnappers holding her hostage? I knew I should have waited …

"Well," Sookie hesitated, "she is completely stressing about this big wedding we are having here and I know … you two are fighting, but it's obvious … she misses you…"

We're fighting? Wait a minute, Then Luke froze to the spot, " 'Misses me'?" he cleared his throat, lowering his voice from his patrons, "Why would she… miss me?"

"It's okay, Luke, I know, " He's such a guy.

"You know … what?"

"About you two? I know."

"Okay?" he got out cautiously, "So, how can I help?"

"Well, maybe you could talk to her. I thought if you guys made up… I don't know, maybe she'd calm down, feel better, … she seems pretty upset…"

"Where is she?"

"Well, she had a bit of a melt down, told off all the maids that they weren't doing the gift bags right, so she decided to Prep the rooms herself. This bride has had specific instructions for every detail of the ceremony, and the rooms, it's like Emily's long lost daughter…"

Luke thought about it… he didn't know how he could help. Maybe just get her to take a break, … relax, make up with him, really make up if indeed they were fighting again. Which is news to me.

Lorelai knew she had taken too much on with the Fundraiser, but she wasn't being the perfect Chilton mom. Unlike other Chilton moms, Lorelai wasn't a trophy wife with days just begging for tedious activity. She worked, she was a single mom; She didn't pass Rory off to a nanny for a cocktail in exchange. Lorelai had a Life, and now a fella. A Fella she most of all she wanted to spend time with, and ask him why he left when she specifically requested he stay. Fearing he was loosing interest, or just his patience. However, she had to complete the transition from Fashion show to the Bridezilla wedding, and as was her new habit, everything made her think of Luke.

The left over pieces of the Fashion Show ramp he had fixed so no one broke their necks, her own included.

The coffee makers in each room because he was her designated, preferred coffee maker.

The wedding made her think of her dream again, and being married to Luke. If we were married I could see him anytime I wanted, we could make love any time we wanted. GAH! None of that now! We are mad at him! He Left, twice, he flirted with another woman, hasn't even mentioned a second date…

Besides, after the whole Max/wedding thing… well let's just not get a head of ourselves…

Plus, Rory's words had bothered her. Lorelai knew that Rory was supportive; she did like the idea of Luke and Lorelai together. Rory was only trying to be realistic. But if now isn't the right time, When? Are we to just step back and wait? How long? Two years till these crazy kids of ours go off to college? I don't think so.

She was upset over the Chilton cult in general, the way she had to leave Luke for the kidnappers, how he left when she had asked him to stay and she was still annoyed by …

… AVA.

The first thing that greeted Lorelai upon arriving at the Inn was a phone call. Ava had the nerve to call up Lorelai at the Inn and ask for Luke's phone number. Lorelai could honestly say she didn't have his home number, however she did lie when she said she didn't know where he lived. Like I'm gonna help another woman steal my man away? After that phone call, it was the last straw, and she wanted to be alone, she barked at the maids. If you want something done you've got to do it yourself.

By this time she had been well on simmer and as Lorelai came out of Room 3 she was positively stewing. Ava, with her too tall leggy self, coming on to my Luke! Gawking at him like a high school teenager. Yeah, Isn't she married or something… she is a Chilton mom, there has to be someone there… But, Luke. my Luke, was flirting with her. Who'd of thought, hopelessly devoted Luke would be flirting with another woman. Of course, it didn't help that Ava was throwing herself at him. And it doesn't help it's been two weeks since … our one and only night together, and Luke, being a guy, is no doubt ripe for the picking.

I hate that Ava!

Lorelai sighed as she entered Room 4. Maybe Rory is right? Maybe it is too soon.We both agreed it wouldn't be a one night stand, but that is exactly where we are… a one night stand, we can't seem to pursue this relationship and that one night may have ruined our friendship. GAH! Work, Lorelai, focus on work, it's good for you, it pays the bills, keeps your mind occupied. Lorelai set up the gift bags and "storybooks" for the wedding guests of room 4. Yeah like anyone would believe this bitch was a princess. Maybe they can still fool the distant relatives…

When she came out of the room with the cart full of Bridezilla's lovely, meticulous goodie bags that just had to be in every room when the guests arrive, a distracted Lorelai ran the cart right into Luke.

"Ouch!"

"Oh God, I'm so sorry!"

"I know you are mad at me but Geez …"

Lorelai's concern faded when she saw he was fit to fight. "What are you doing here?" snapped, and Lorelai unlocked Room 5, and Luke followed her.

"Sookie called me, she was worried about you, and by the way, thanks for the heads up that she knew about us."

"Luke, she's my best friend, she kept pushing me to tell her and she practically figured it out anyway …" Setting up another gift display, "you can tell you're best friend if you want to."

"Well, Okay, 'Hey Lorelai I've got a new girlfriend and her name is Lorelai I think you'll really like her'."

"Don't you mean Ava," Lorelai said under her breath as she arranged the favors for the corresponding guest.

"What?"

"Ava," She repeated with bite, "Isn't she your new girlfriend?"

"What are you talking about?" Luke hated it when he got lost from the conversation, it was usually difficult to keep up with a Gilmore, but when that Gilmore is upset, it was next to impossible.

Lorelai felt couldn't paint it more clearly. "You and Ava! Right in front of me at the fashion show! How about the two of you come here on Sunday and we'll make it a Double Wedding!" Lorelai stormed out of the room, with Luke close on her trail.

They stayed quiet in the hall, as to not disturb the other guests of the Inn and entered room 6. Once the door was closed, Luke burst, "you've got to be kidding me!"

"Well, you two looked really chummy," as she began to set up the identical gift bag display for the wedding guests of Room 6. "Don't let me stand in your way!"

"She was asking me for directions. That's it." Sick of Lorelai's fidgeting, and not looking at him in the eye when they were having a serious conversation, He took her hands in his, "Will you stop!"

"No," she stepped away from him, jerking her hands out of his grasp,"I have a business to run," throwing his words back in his face, but this time they had more sting.

"Lorelai, … come on, take a break. We'll get you some coffee. "

"Oh my God, I'm being offered Coffee by Luke Danes, is the space time continuum about to collapse?"

"I'm trying to help."

He was, he was only trying to help, she knew that, but she was still hurt by his leaving last night, and the fashion show flirting, and at everything that seemed to be keeping them apart. In her current stressed state of mind, everything seemed to be more exaggerated. Even though she knew it was a ridiculous argument, she felt the need to let him have an escape, to take that step back that Rory was talking about. If he to thought it was too soon and wouldn't work between them. "I mean, I don't blame you, … she is very pretty…" fiddling with the bags still on the cart.

"Who?" Luke was still struggling to follow, he only wanted to calm her down and take care of her.

"Ava."

"Geez." Luke thought for sure he'd be the one with jealous tendencies in this relationship. He couldn't believe the confident he fallen for years ago would doubt her appeal to any man.

Lorelai shrugged, "I understand, if you want to date a Chilton Mom," she was feeling more and more like she didn't deserve Luke, he was so wonderful, so good. So she left him alone in room 6.

Still keeping quiet in the hallway, Luke was not going to leave it there and followed Lorelai into room 7. "I am dating a Chilton Mom," he countered.

Lorelai shot him a "so not the point" glare, "Well, come on Luke, you're human, you have needs…"

"Do you hear yourself?" Luke couldn't believe the assumptions she was making.

"Well … Let's face it you're not getting any from your mom of a girlfriend…"

Not by choice! "… Geez is that what this is all about?"

"Go ahead, date her, marry her, make her Mrs. Backwards Baseball …"

Lorelai's words were cut off as Luke just grabbed her and kissed her. The only way to shut her up from her jealous accusations was to show her that she was the one he wanted. Luke knew his idea was working when her arms snaked around his neck. He could feel the tension she'd been holding onto drain out of her body as she relaxed in his arms.

It was so easy to fall into that pattern from a few short weeks ago. This time it was Luke who guided her toward the bed, to lay her down and take a much-deserved break. He pulled away; now lying on top of her, seeing his point had been made. He whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry you thought I was flirting with someone else."

Lorelai apologized, "No, I'm sorry," enjoying his five'o'clock shadow against her cheek, to be able to touch him and kiss him freely again. "I overreacted, it's just… GAH!" she couldn't even find the words. "this stupid wedding and stupid Chilton, …"

"I hate it when we fight." Particularly for no reason. Luke was glad to be the one to hold her, to kiss her, to try and make everything better, the way she wanted it to be.

"Me too."

"Then why do we do it?"

"I have no idea." She had to laugh, "we're really good at it, It's fun?" Getting rid of his ball cap, Lorelai searched for an answer as she combed her fingers through his hair.

"Most of the time, yeah." Being so close to her again, Luke wanted that distantly familiar rhythm, and his lips began working down her neck.

Lorelai closed her eyes, "Luke?"

"Mm hmm"

"I don't like you flirting with other women." Her breath was becoming shallow for all the distraction he was causing.

Luke's head shot up, "I wasn't, She was asking me how to get back to Hartford."

"And that's all?" she narrowed her eyes with an "are you sure" tone.

"Yes," he confirmed with another kiss on her lips, "She only wanted directions."

"Well, before she was like, …"

"Like what?" wanting to know what sparked her suspicions, but only wanted to get back to what he had in mind.

Now embarrassed Lorelai informed, "She was … checking you out!" Lorelai's voice shrank, "… and I didn't like it."

"So, … you were…"

"Jealous, … I admit it. I was jealous with Rachel and now I'm jealous of Ava." She now knew how he must have felt when she was with Max.

"You have no reason to be." and he went back to teasing her neck.

"I've missed you," Lorelai smiled as she made a connection she wanted to share, "hmmm Luke?"

"Yeah?"

Hoping he'd read her mind, "We're alone…."

Meeting her eyes again, "I know."

"No one knows we're here," She observed.

"I know."

Finally alone, without teens or townies, Lorelai and Lukedecided to take advantage of those happy facts.

(Insert Mad Monkey Sex HERE!)

This is the part where you squeal with JOY, more after glow as only I can write it…

77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777

When Lorelai woke up, she had a tangle of curls in her face. It took her a minute to remember where she was. The Independence Inn? The scent of her work place was unmistakable, but her vantage point was entirely new. Wait, in a room at the Independence Inn. Then, a possessive arm pulled her closer and she felt Luke against her again. She smiled at his scruff against her shoulder and the low growl of his breath humming in her ear. I'm with Luke in a room at the Independence Inn.

Lorelai turned over in his arms and settled to face him. She once again was satisfied and content; he does have that effect on me, the Luke Danes Effect. It had been two weeks since Rory's Debutante ball. Two weeks since that fateful night. Two weeks they had "dated" without the town finding out. Two weeks since the last time she was stressed and upset to her wits end and just needed to relax. Two weeks since they were alone long enough for such relaxation to be possible. Two weeks since she had seen him naked, completely naked, just his shirt off doesn't count.

In their currant position, she stroked his cheek amazed at how deep of a sleeper he was. For a man who could get worked up over being finger printed for the government, or the environmental blight of golf courses, he checked his rants at the footboard. He was so still, and calm, and … peaceful. He had been a passionate lover, now he was a spent dreamer. Lorelai was still learning new things about him everyday. She liked that, keeps it interesting, as does the arguing.

Lorelai had to kissed him, and enjoyed it when he came alive again to participate. "I didn't know this was that kind of hotel," He chuckled between the pecks.

"It's not, but this was definitely … an emergency," She smiled and rested her head on his chest. "Oh Luke, what are we gonna do? It's obvious that being apart doesn't agree with us."

"And we can't keep meeting like this," he agreed.

Brilliant! " Why not?" she propped herself up on her elbow.

"Why not what?"

"Why not meet like this? I run an Inn, Damnit! We can keep a room here."

"I'm not sure how ethical that is…"

"… but we can come here, it's not the center of town, Jess and Rory aren't here. "

"I think it sounds very…."

"Hot? Sexy?" she was trying to win him over.

"… Heidi Fleiss."

"Luke!" hitting his chest for not even considering her idea. "We've just proven that long periods of time without you makes me crabby."

"You're serious?"

"Well, would you rather wait till Jess and Rory are in college?"

"Lorelai, There has to be another way, Let's keep your idea as a … plan b, only if absolutely necessary."

"Well what have you got?"

"Well, first off, I could tell Jess… " Luke sighed, with still no clue how to pull that off.

"Okay?" Lorelai was waiting for the shoe to drop.

"And I could … get comfortable spending the night. … at your place."

"Seriously?"

"It has to happen some time… "

"But … what about the town?"

"Maybe… we could … go public."

"Luke Danes wants to go public?"

"Well, why are we even doing this anyway? This is the first real chance we've had to be alone. All be it a ridiculous way at that. I can't pick you up at your house because Babbette will see, we haven't even had a second date yet… and this sneaking around," he was exasperated, there was the "ranting Luke" Lorelai knew so well, "Rory knows, Sookie knows, Jess will know, we know, everyone who matters knows, … So what if the town knows. "

"It's only been two weeks,"

"…That has felt like two months."

"This whole on the DL thing was your idea," Lorelai pointed out.

"How was it my idea?"

"Hello, the storage room."

"I did that cause I didn't know if you wanted it out and it turns out you didn't… "

"When did I say that?"

"Making me pick you up in Hartford? The cancelled wedding? Worrying if people would think I ruined your big day."

"Oh right…" she thought about it, and this would be a big deal in Stars Hollow. There were apparently years of speculation on the alliterating couple. "Luke please, I know its stupid but, I just don't want them to ruin it, or drive you away."

"How could they drive me away?"

"Well, we'll be under constant scrutiny, everyone suggesting how we feel about each other. Talking about our pasts, pitting us against each other for sport."

"I have no past, … you worry too much." knowing his feelings wouldn't change.

"Luke please, … just for a little while."

"Okay, fine, …" and they cuddled up in bed again. Then something Luke said began to peck at Lorelai's brain. I have no past, "Luke?"

"hmmmm?"

For some reason she was afraid to ask, despite his hermit tendencies, "How … how many women have you been with?"

"What?"

"You know?… how many… women have you…" she trailed off.

"Why?" how is that important now?

"Just … wondering."

"Lorelai, …"

He was obviously uncomfortable with the subject, but "Luke… please… we have talk about this eventually…"

"Now?" considering how early it was in their relationship.

"Well, we don't know when we'll be alone again, so yes … now."

"I thought you didn't like talking about me and other women …"

"Hey, the flirting was different, your mine now, but… who you've been with is still apart of you. I wanna know."

Luke took a heavy breath, and he was almost embarrassed… he wasn't exactly the casa nova of Stars Hollow, "Two."

"Two?" that's it? Lorelai was surprised; a great looking man like Luke… has only been with two.

"Well, three counting you."

See, that's not much better. "who?" she didn't know why she'd expected it to be more, not having been able to picture him with a girl before Rachel.

Knowing she wouldn't drop it till she received satisfactory answers. "Well, Rachel, you know, … and Marie, … my … high school girlfriend…"

"She was your first?"

"Obviously…"

"Is she … still in town?"

"No," He had to grin at the green-eyed monster again, "She went away to college, which is why we broke up…"

Feeling a little better, Lorelai then tried to picture Luke at Stars Hollow High. He was only a few years older than her, and only a few miles away from Hartford. If only we had met back then somehow … Rory might have been his… let's not think that way… Rory might not have been … Rory…

"What about you?"

"Huh?" pulled out of her "what if-ing".

"How many?" he shrugged, but as soon as Luke said it, he didn't want to know. A Beautiful woman like Lorelai, who can out flirt and out smart anyone…

"Well, Chris, you may have figured, cause hello, Rory. And Max." she stated matter-of-factly.

"That's it?"

"Who am I Roxanne?" Now having that damn song in her head, as an after thought she added, "Though I look damn good in red."

"No, it's just,...I would have thought, ... "

"Luke dating with a kid isn't as easy as it would sound, get a baby sitter have a social life, it wasn't like that with Rory."

"but, you would tell me..."

"My bad date anecdotes? yes, bad date, as in why would i let this man touch me if i can't stand to talk to him... besides, my time was better spent on Rory."

"I'll agree with that..."

Lorelai played with the hair on his chest, "Luke?"

"Yeah?" he said quietly.

"… You're my third?" Lorelai deduced.

"And you're my third," Luke smiled.

"hmmmm?" Lorelai seemed happy with that number… "Third time's a charm?" she smiled placing her head in the crock of his neck.

Luke rubbed her back, but then seemed to realize where they were. "Isn't this someone's room? Is a bell hop gonna come in here and find us?"

"This is a room set aside for the wedding," Lorelai was completely unfazed.

"Soooo,"

"Check in is not until 3 pm."

"Aren't people gonna wonder where you are?"

"I had a melt down, maybe they will think I disintegrated, " then in a high-pitched baby voice, "besides, … I need to snuggle."

He had to laugh, "Lorelai, someone has to stay here, …"

"Uh huh,"

"Sooooo we … kinda… messed up Bridezilla's room."

"I'll get a maid to fix it…" she sighed eyes closed, just happy to be next to him again; Just a few more minutes, before I have to go back to the real world again.
