Ok, I promised you a chapter today, so here it is.
disclaimer: Nothing is mine :(
Lorelai's eyes fluttered open and she reached to the other side of the bed, which was surprisingly empty. Luke spent most of his nights with Lorelai, and he never left without saying goodbye. So, it was strange when he was not there.
Lorelai got out of bed, slowly making her way down the stairs, because perhaps he was making breakfast. But, the kitchen was empty. She reached for the phone to see if he was already at the diner. She dialed the oh so familiar number. It rang three times before Ceaser answered.
"Luke's diner. This is Ceaser." said the funny accent. (a/n: I don't know what nationality he is)
"Hey Ceaser, it's Lorelai. Is Luke there yet?"
"No, he said that he wouldn't be in until a little later."
"Oh" Lorelai was not curious and worried about the whereabouts of her boyfriend.
"I'll have him call if he comes in."
"Thanks Ceaser."
Lorelai walked into the family room and sat down on the couch. I wonder where he is. Lorelai thought to herself. She was about to call his cellphone, but then she noticed it lying on the coffee table. Oh yea. She remembered. I took it out of his pocket while we were...
Just then, the door opened, and in came Luke carrying four Doose's Market bags.
"Oh thank god!" Lorelai exclaimed. "I had no idea where you went. I figured you ran away with Babette in the dark of night."
Luke shuddered at the thought. "Jeez, Lorelai!" he said in his typical way. "I just went to go get you some food so that you wouldn't starve.
"Some food?" She questioned. "It looks like you brought home the whold damn market."
"Just help me with these. The bottom one's slipping." Luke said gesturing to the bags with his head.
Lorelai giggled, but took the slipping bag and followed Luke into the kitchen.
around 1:00...
After Luke made her breakfast that morning, Lorelai took a quick shower and got ready to go to work. Her day at work had been a long one, and she had only been there for three hours. God I need coffee. She thought after she finished checking the Ramsey's into their room.
"Michel, I'm going to run to Luke's. I'll be back in a half hour."
"Whatever." Michel answered, obviously not paying much attention. "I am the only one who works around here."
"Says the man reading Vogue." Lorelai chuckled and left.
at Luke's...
"Hey" Luke said already pouring the coffee. "What are you doing here."
"I came for the love." Lorelai joked. "And some heaven on earth."
"Me?" Luke questioned, but already knowing the real answer.
"Close, you are holding it."
"Oh, you mean coffee." Luke said.
"Yea, but you are a good bonus prize. I mean coffee can't do the thing where you..." Luke cut her off by clearing his throat. "Jeez Lorelai, Babette is sitting right there.
Lorelai giggled, in the flirty way Luke loves, and began nursing her liquid death.
Fifteen minutes later, after talking Luke into giving her a cheesburger, chili firies, a doughnut, and more coffee, Lorelai had to get back to the inn. "See you later doll."
"Are you talking to the coffee again?" Luke questioned jokingly.
"Yes, but I will see you too." She leaned over the counter to kiss Luke, and was off to work. She had a smile on her face her whole way there.
That was until she got there though and she saw who was standing on the porch.
"I love what you've done with the place," said an all too familiar voice.
I know it's not too long, but it's enough to tide you over until next time...I hope.
Please review, because I would LOVE to hear what you think of the story so far.
And keep the faith in Luke and Lorelai. Rosenthal must have some clever way of getting those two back together...I hope!!!!
