Chapter 20
Lorelai woke Luke up. It was a beautiful morning the first day they had arrived in New York. Now normally Lorelai would have thrown her alarm clock against the wall and got really angry with whoever woke her up but today her first day on vacation with Luke and Rory she wasn't going to.
"Hey morning." Luke said with a smile.
"Good morning how'd you sleep?" Lorelai asked him.
"Well, let's see I had the most beautiful girl beside me in bed and well how could anyone not sleep well?" Luke asked her.
"Do you remember the horoscope I gave you?" Lorelai asked.
"You will meet an annoying girl today if you give her coffee she'll go away. Strange I gave you coffee but you keep coming back to me." Luke teased her.
"It's only because I love you." Lorelai teased.
"I was thinking I'd take you out to a play and a special lunch. Rory won't mind if I give her a couple of bucks to go spend at a bookstore while you and I go out?" Luke asked.
"I don't think she'll turn you down." Lorelai smiled. She heard a knock on the door.
Luke got into a pair of shorts and threw a shirt on. "Hi Rory. Sleep well?" Luke asked her.
"Yeah ok some." Rory said warily. She wasn't sure exactly how she should feel about this. He did just open the door to her mother's bedroom. True there wasn't a whole lot she wanted to or even could do about it. Her mother was the adult and she liked Luke but it was still awkward.
Luke handed her fifty bucks.
"I'm going to drop you off at a bookstore I think you'll enjoy while your mother and I have a special outing is that ok?" Luke asked her.
"I can't take this Lu- da I mean Luke." Rory said.
"Yes you can call me whatever your comfortable with Rory. I'm not trying to replace your father but I will be there for you in every way possible." Luke said. Rory smiled and went back to hotel room until it was time to eat breakfast.
Lorelai got ready as she was slipping on her jeans Luke stopped her and kissed her. He laid her on the bed and slowly gave kisses down her neck. Lorelai smiled.
"What?" Luke asked her.
"You make me so happy." Lorelai said.
"Good well I try." Luke slid her jeans to the floor.
Rory knocked on the door again. It had been fifteen minutes since she had seen her mother awake.
"Mom?"
"A we'll come get you honey." Lorelai gave a soft little moan. Rory did not want to know.
Rory went into her room and bought out the book of dirty poems to read. Julia was right they were hilarious. Lorelai knocked on Rory's door.
"Sorry baby we're ready to eat breakfast now." Lorelai said.
"I so do not want to know." Rory said.
Lorelai smiled. "Awe come on you mean Dean's never undid your pants or tried?" She teased.
"No and I'd be locked in my room if he did. You said so."
"No I said let me know when you're ready to. I want to be outside the room."
"Mom ew no!" Rory said laughing blushing as Luke came up.
"What'd I miss?" Luke asked.
"Mother daughter moment." Lorelai said.
"Come on let's eat." They went down to the hotel cafeteria. Lorelai's phone rang.
"How on earth could you have pulled Rory from her school like that? It was unacceptable telling a lie. Miss Finch saw you in that car as you drove off Lorelai Gilmore!" Emily snapped.
"Whoops. My hand slipped." Lorelai hung up on her.
"Nice one you do realize she's going to beat our asses once we get back?" Rory said.
Lorelai stared at her daughter.
"What?" Rory asked.
"I've never heard you swear before. Awe my little angel is growing up. It's so cute." Lorelai said.
Rory spent an hour wandering in the bookshop. She felt an odd feeling like she was being watched. She looked up to the third floor where you could see the floors. Jess was hanging over a balcony looking down at her.
Rory raced up the steps and passed him on the way down she grabbed him. Her books fell out of her hands.
Jess helped pick them up.
"Well if it isn't naughty Gilmore. How have you been?" Jess asked her.
"I've been ok. Where the hell have you been? My mom busted me out of finishing school."
"I'd have loved to see you all prim and proper lady. Did they beat the manner's into you?" Jess teased.
"Very funny." Rory said trying not to laugh.
"So is Rory up to hanging out with Dodger for the afternoon?" Jess teased her.
"Maybe. I've got to pay for my books first."
"Here on me since I got you into trouble come on. I'll show you some kick ass places that your mom and Luke won't be able to show you."
"I'm not going to get drunk again am I?" Rory asked jokingly.
"No. But I'll show you some awesome food and good times. Come on this way."
Lorelai stood with Luke outside the movie theater.
"It's just you and me for a private afternoon of Audrey Hepburn movies." Luke told her.
"How'd you do this?"
"It cost an arm and a leg but it was well worth it come on my lady." Luke bought Lorelai popcorn and some snacks and they went into the theater.
