AN: This is chapter two, it is pretty freaking awesome so you should love it. So this is like episode 4 of season 7 except instead of a date with Chris ending in picking Emily up from jail it is a date with Luke, ending in picking up Emily from jail! ENJOY! PS: Idk what day is which so I am just winging it! So the cotillion was a Sunday and now it is a Thursday in my story.
It had been a week and half since Luke and Lorelai started talking again. Every night they met at Luke's at closing and talked, yelled, kissed, yelled some more, kissed and ended with a hug and a promise to see each other tomorrow night. Lorelai avoided Friday night dinner the past week and only Rory, Sookie and Paul Anka knew her and Luke were talking. Lorelai went to Weston's every morning, her and Luke decided to take things slow, no interference from the town. Lorelai walked to Luke's and couldn't help but smile when she saw him waiting behind the counter.
"Hey" she said walking inside.
"Hi" Luke hadn't seen her in 2 days because Rory and her went on a mini vacation.
"So, tomorrow night is Friday night dinner and I was thinking I could skip it and we could hang out" the couple made their way up stairs.
"Didn't you skip last week?"
"Yea, I guess I will go" Lorelai smiled and kissed him sweetly.
"So, April is coming over tomorrow and staying till Saturday afternoon. I was thinking we could meet at that bakery in Hartford that you go to after meetings and you and April could get to know each other more, tomorrow around 3pm good?"
"Okay, I would love that" Lorelai smiled, a week ago instead of their usual talk date she and April had a movie night with Luke and bonded.
"So, How late can you stay, I don't have early deliveries so I am good."
"Rory is with Lane right now and we are meeting in 30min to go home and watch a movie, Sorry, this is her last summer as a college student and so she might not be around much after this" Lorelai was now sitting next to Luke on the couch.
"I understand, so in 15min I guess I will make you some burgers and stuff?"
"So that leaves 15min for me to do this" Lorelai wrapped herself around Luke and kissed him. They had not had sex since they were taking it slow but both of them really missed each other.
"hey Luke" Lorelai pulled apart.
"Ya?"
"I love you" she smiled
"I love you too" he smiled and the kissing resumed
It was a busy morning at the dragonfly but luckily for Lorelai, Rory was helping. Mother and daughter stood at the front desk filing papers when Sookie came
"Lorelai, it is 2! Go get ready for your date!" Sookie was in a chipper mood
"Oh, thank you Sookie. And it isn't a date, April is going to be there. Hey, Rory you should come" Lorelai smiled at her daughter
"Really? Okay, sounds good. Let's go get ready" The two girls were going to just shop in Hartford till Friday night dinner.
As Lorelai got ready she looked in her closet and saw a blue sweat shirt, the one she wore when her and Luke got back together… the first time. Throwing it on over a black tank she wondered if he would remember it.
"We are late" Rory screeched as the two girls got out of the jeep
"Only by ten minutes!"
As they made their way into the coffee shop they saw Luke and April sitting at a table near the side.
"Hey" Lorelai said approaching them
"Hi" Luke stood and gave her a kiss before she sat next to him "Hey Rory"
"Hey Luke, Hey April" Rory took a seat by April
"Hey Lorelai, Rory" April smiled at her dad and Lorelai who were holding hands.
"You order anything?" Lorelai asked
"Nope, waited for you" April said sweetly.
Luke was looking at Lorelai and noticed her jacket
"I like your jacket" he said and put his arm around her
Lorelai kissed him on the cheek and the two girls rolled their eyes at their parents but even they liked it.
Ringtone goes off
"Oh, that's me" Lorelai says picking up her phone.
"Hello, oh hey mom"
"Lorelai I am sorry to do this to you last minute but your father is having dinner with colleagues and I have to go to a dinner party and I forgot to cancel Friday night dinner"
"Oh that's fine mom" Lorelai danced a little in her seat.
"Okay, you will tell Rory?"
"Yes, bye mom"
"Bye Lorelai"
Lorelai hung up and fist pumped. "Friday night dinner is cancelled!"
"Okay awesome!" Rory had to admit she would rather hang with her mom then go to Friday night dinner.
"Hey well since you two are free you could join April and I tonight, we are going to see a movie"
"Yea join us!" April smiled
"Hey I have an idea" Rory had plan face on and Lorelai knew it
"What?"
"Why don't you and Luke go on a date, away from town and what not and April and I can hang out, go to the book store and see a movie!" Rory wanted her mom and Luke to have a non-diner apartment date.
"OMG I would love that!" April was very enthusiastic; the thought of hanging with a college student was unbelievably cool to her.
"I would love that too" Luke smiled at Lorelai
"Great" Lorelai smiled at Luke and winked.
"So tonight, come by around 6?" Rory's plan was put in motion
"Okay sounds good." Luke couldn't help but smile as look around, he was surrounded by his 3 favorite people.
"Oh did dad tell you? April suddenly said
"Tell me what?" Lorelai replied
"My mom is going to New Mexico because my grandma is having surgery so I staying with him for a few weeks!" April smiled enthusiastically
"Wow, that is awesome" Lorelai faked a smile and wondered why Luke hadn't told her
"Yea, Anna suggested it this morning. She is moving in on Sunday, she is spending today and tomorrow packing"
"I was going to stay with Laura but I much rather stay with dad"
"Well, that is awesome" Rory budded in, eyeing her mom to see how she felt about it.
"I agree, it is awesome, you will have to come over and have a movie night with me and Rory before you both start school!" Lorelai smiled for real.
"Cool" April smiled
"Cool" Rory smiled
"You are not turning her into another coffee addict!" Luke joked
"Sush you" Lorelai playfully hit Luke
"I prefer lattés anyways" April said sarcastically making Luke cringe and then laugh
"Ah welcome to the Gilmore side my friend" Rory said smiling April
The 4 laughed and continued to talk about the going ones of their lives.
AN: Hope you liked this chapter! I decided to stay true to the whole April staying with Luke so yeah. So the next two chapters are going to be like Rory/April's night. And then Luke and Lorelai's night, ending in the same way. ENJOY.
