Lorelai's POV

I walk into the lobby and see Luke.

LORELAI: Hey. The last one up?

LUKE: No, not the last one.

He seems upset about something; I wonder what is bothering him.

LORELAI: Chuckles You okay? I heard Babette was kicking your butt at Yahtzee.

LUKE: Actually, I'm feeling pretty stupid right now.

Stupid about what?

LORELAI: Why?

LUKE: I'm not a mysterious man, am I?

I try to lighten the mood a bit with a humorous comment, as is my way

LORELAI: Well, the wardrobe's a bit of a head scratcher.

LUKE: I think I've been very, very clear with my intentions –

His intentions? So he really was doing what I think he's been doing?

LORELAI: Your…

LUKE: You know, the wedding, the movie invite, the flowers.

LORELAI: Chuckles Luke -

LUKE: You knew what I was doing!

Yes I did, but you didn't say exactly what you were doing, so I had to assume.

LORELAI: Well, no, not officially.

LUKE: Not officially? Oh, come on. I mean, I didn't have a ref present, but other than that.

Did Luke just tell a joke? He says funny things all the time without meaning to, but he rarely jokes. Maybe I'm rubbing off on him

LORELAI: Well, you didn't say anything official.



LUKE: What was I supposed to say? I did things. I let my actions speak. That's what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to let your actions speak. That's the romantic way to do this, damn it.

Romantic huh? Who would have thought Luke Danes would try to be romantic?

LORELAI: Okay, you're right. I'm sorry.

LUKE: And you went along with all of it. So naturally, I assumed we were on the same page, and then your boyfriend shows up here at the inn that I invested in.

Boyfriend? Oh no, he talked to Jason didn't he? Damn, that guy just has to pop up and cause trouble all over again

LORELAI: Whoa, what boyfriend? Are you talking about Jason?

LUKE: No, Tom. Yes, Jason.

Another joke, who woulda thought

LORELAI: You guys were talking? What did he say?

I didn't really need to ask, I could assume what he said, and my assuming has been pretty well lately. I assumed that the movie ask out was a date, and it seems I was right about that.

LUKE: He said you were together. I mean, I was sitting there listening to this guy spout on and on about how it's right, you're right, he's right. The whole time, I'm thinking, "What the hell have I been doing all this for? She's taken." Storms out the front door - I follow

I'm going to kill Jason.

LORELAI: I -- I'm not taken! We broke up!

LUKE: Well, he doesn't know that!

That's because he's a moron!

LORELAI: Well, just calm down!

LUKE: Aw, I don't want to calm down! I did everything right! I did exactly what the book said!

LORELAI: The book?!

Book…the self-help book that jess had that luke got so defensive over? Is that why he got defensive?

LUKE: I thought we were on track, and now you're standing there looking at me like I'm crazy.



Wow, isn't this a turn around. Normally im the one who thinks people think im crazy, which they normally do.

LORELAI: I'm not looking at you like you're crazy!

LUKE: You know the last time I bought flowers for someone? Never! That's when! Very easy stat to remember!

Wow, he had never before bought flowers for anyone? Not even Nicole, who he married? Not even Rachel, who he spent a long time pining for? This admission gave her an extremely giddy feeling that she would have laughed at normally, but tonight it was different experiencing it then just seeing it.

LORELAI: I loved the flowers!

LUKE: And then when I walked you home after the wedding, there was a moment. I thought there was a moment.

She was right, there was a moment. And he felt it too.

LORELAI: There was! There was a moment.

He is looking at me with a look I've never seen before. Then he steps forward and I realize what the emotions I cant identify from his eyes are.

LORELAI: What are you doing?

I feel an emotion I never expected to feel towards luke. Passion, mixed with desire.

LUKE: Will you just stand still?

I obey, and he wraps me in his arms. I'm melting at the first touch. He kisses me, and I kiss him back. I pull away briefly to look into his eyes. They are several shades darker then they usually are, and I can assume why.

I step back towards him, lift my hands to his face. About half way there, he steps back.

LUKE: What are you doing?

His voice is deeper then usual, filled with emotion, wanting, and something else. Fear, I realize. Fear of rejection.

LORELAI: Will you just stand still?

I realize that my own voice is shaking.i know he notices too, and I don't care. I step towards him, take his face in my hands, and kiss him, long and deep. I let him know of all my feelings with this one kiss.I feel his arms wrap around me. I pull back one more time, look into his eyes. They are almost black with desire and want. His hand returns to my waist, and pulls me back towards him. I wrap my arms around his neck and lean in to kiss him again. We get closer, until I can feel his breath on my face, then--



KIRK: Aaaaah! running down stairs, buck naked with only a pillow covering himself. Aaah! Aaaah! runs out the door in terror into the night Aaaaah! Aaaah!

LUKE: I'll be right back. I'll explain later. runs after Kirk

KIRK: Aaah! Aaah!

With the shock of everything, and the unwelcome sight of kirk naked, I need to place a hand on the wall of the inn for support.

This has definitely been a night to remember.
