Author's Note: Sorry it took so long. Wrote this over Spring Break as well as the 10th chapter but I just have to type them out and upload them. So the next chapter or so should be up by the end of the week. Please R&R!

Chapter 9: Some Plans Fail

Rory woke up to the incessant high pitched beeping of her alarm.

"Stop the noise." she said as she reached over and turned the alarm off.

"Evil alarm."

She turned to her side to notice that Logan was no longer there. As she threw the covers off the bed, she heard Paris talking in the lounge. Or rather, yelling.

"You are either really rude or you're completely oblivious to the fact that some humans do not enjoy being woken up this early. You must be insane!" she was screaming.

"Paris, you're up, you're dressed, and you've been on your computer since 6 a.m. You can not really be telling me that you are one of those people." Logan said calmly.

"I've been writing an article Logan, something that you're not entirely familiar with."

"Oh come on, you mean to tell me that you don't have your story in? I mean, deadline is Monday, better get crackin'." Logan stated with more than a hint of sarcasm.

"Guys, really, it's Saturday at 9 in the morning. You're both crazy! Go back to bed, so I can too!" Rory complained half asleep as she walked into the room.

"Hey, Ace. I just went to get you some coffee and Homeland Security here went Defcon 1 on me." Logan walked over to her holding a Starbucks coffee out to her as he kissed her cheek.

"Thanks. Now can we all go back to bed now? I was just about to win Ben Stein's money and spend a week in Figi with Johnny Depp."

"In that case, no." Logan said, feigning hurt feelings.

"Rory, you don't seem to understand the situation here. I've got an article due in two days and I can't get a hold of Pastor Daniels from the Baptist church in Boston. Reverend Jesse Jackson and the Pope I can call right now but this guy's a regular Houdini." Paris insisted.

"Ever tried going to the church on a Sunday around 8 and catching him at work?" Rory said.

"No." Paris responded after a short pause.

"Now that you're light bulb is functioning properly, I'm going to go back to bed. And you two are going to do the same!" she said as she went back into her room.

Logan followed soon after.

"Hey, Ace, wanna go to a show tonight? It'll be fun. My treat."

"Logan?" Rory said with her best whiny tone.

"Yeah."

"SLEEP!" she said as she pulled him into bed next to her and closed her eyes.

"Well when you put it that way…" he interjected with a smile.

They laid there for a few minutes.

"Great, now I can't sleep." Rory said as she sat up.

Lorelai was still asleep. Luke had spent the night. He knew he had missed her more than he ever had before, but he didn't realize how much until now. He missed the smell of her hair when he slept, the touch of her skin at night, the way she held his arm around her at all times and most of all, the way she fit into him perfectly.

He sighed deeply and kissed her shoulder as he sat up.

"Good morning" he whispered in her ear.

"No, good sleep. Sleep good. More sleep."

"Shhh. It's okay. Go to sleep." he said. "I'm just going to make some coffee. I'll be up in a little bit." he finished as he kissed her cheek again. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and picked his pants up off of the floor and slid them on.

Luke walked down the stepped and into the kitchen. He began making Lorelai's coffee. He put ¼ of the coffee grounds in the filter and put water in the container.

"Hey. You're such a tease! That was mean." Lorelai said sleepily as she walked down the stairs.

She walked up to Luke and leaned into him, her head resting on his chest.

"I smell coffee." she said, perking up.

"I told you I'd make some."

"I know, but…coffee." she smiled at him.

God I missed that he thought to himself. He touched her arm and she turned again to face him.

He pulled her close to him and kissed her deeply. He slowly released her from the kiss and looked at her.

"Well hey, Mr. Coffee man, what was that for?"

"Just because I can." he said.

"Okay, we need to talk some. Get some things straight." she said.

"Alright. Talking. Let's talk."
