Wow. The reviews are really sweet! Keep them coming!!
(and this IS a Luke&Lorelai fic!! What else could there be??)

Previously...

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.

"What are you doing here?" Lorelai questioned, her smile immediately disappearing from her face.

"I haven't talked to you in a while. I thought I would come by for some lunch so we could catch up." said the man.

"Do you even remember why we haven't spoken for a while?" Lorelai asked, her voice hightening with anger.

"Ummm...no."

"You came between me and my boyfriend! I was finally happy, and you didn't care at all!" Lorelai yelled.

"Oh, come on Lor. That guy can't make you happy. You should be glad he's out of your life now." He stepped closer to her., and said in a softer voice, "I know I am."

"Oh my God, Christopher! You say you care about me, that you love me. But if you really did, you would let me be happy." She took a breath. "And he's not out of my life. Luckily, we love each other enough that we could repare the damage that you and my mother created!" Lorelai was upset that everybody who should care about her ends stabbing her in the back, well that is of course, except Luke.

Chris wore a frown. "I do love you Lor. I always have. And feelings like this just don't go away."

"But Chris, I am finally happy. I have all that I need and want. You are coming between me and my happiness. Please, just go." Lorelai was almost in tears. Why don't people want me to be happy?

"Fine, Lor. I'll leave; for now." She couldn't tell, but the for now almost sounded like a threat. As he walked to his car, his shoulder lightly brushed against hers. She pulled back and walked into the inn, never once looking back.

Later that night, Luke and Lorelai were lying on her couch watching Willy Wonka. Luke had sensed something off about Lorelai all night, but he figured he would just let her come to him if she wanted to talk.

They continued watching teh movie until Luke felt Lorelai shaking beneath his arm. He looked down and saw silent tears streaming down Lorelai's face.

"What's wrong?" Luke asked.

She nuzzled her head into his chest. Luke heard a muffled reply. "Why don't they care about me? Why don't they want me to be happy?" Lorelai sobbed

"Who?" Luke was growing angry at whoever it was causing his girlfriend's insecurities.

"My parents, Christopher." Lorelai named off.

At the mention of Chris's name, Luke grew even more furious. "What the hell did he do to you?" Luke yelled. "I swear to god, I am going to hunt him down and kill him!"

Lorelai smiled through her tears. She knows Luke will always care about her. Wow. I am really lucky I realized he was always there.

"He came by the inn today." She felt Luke tense. "He said we should catch up, but I said that I wanted him to leave. So he said 'I'll leave; for now'." Lorelai was nervous when Luke didn't say anything. She looked up and noticed his face turning a deep shade of red.

"Luke, hon, are you okay?" Lorelai asked cautiously.

"No! Some asshole went to my girlfriend's inn and tried to get her back!" Luke fumed.

"Luke, I told him to go away; he left."

It didn't seem that Luke had heard her.

"Lorelai, I'm not leaving again because of him. We are going to work through it all."

Lorelai smiled. "Good, but nothing did happen. I swear. I didn't even make polite chit chat. "Good," Luke said. "but if he comes back again, I am going to kill him!" Lorelai smiled and snuggled into him more. She knew Luke would always be there for her.

Well? Was it good, bad, okay?? Let me know!
