AN: Sorry for the wait on this chapter! It was a busy week. Here it is the proposal!
3 Day's prior to Christmas Eve
Lorelai walked the snowless streets of Stars Hollow, the usual Christmas décor set everywhere but it didn't feel like Christmas. Lorelai frowned as she walked into Luke's.
"Where is my snow?" She asked as she sat at her usual spot in front of the cash register
"It isn't your snow" Luke grumbled
"Oh hey, is my pink and black scarf upstairs?"
"Uh yea, why?" Luke got nervous
"I am going to go grab it" Lorelai stood up
"No! you you can't" Luke said
"Why?"
"You just can't go up to the apartment"
"Why? Luke what is going on?"
"Nothing, you just can't go up there"
"Fine" Lorelai grabbed her stuff and left
"Lorelai, wait, no" Luke realized how bad it seemed
2 Days till Christmas Eve
Lorelai gave Luke the silent treatment as she went to the diner and asked Zach to pour her coffee. The last three nights Luke hadn't slept with her at home and he was acting weird.
As she entered the dragonfly she sighed "still no snow" she made her way to the kitchen "I need chocolate"
"Here" Sookie gave her a bowl of chocolate "What's wrong sweetie" she asked
"Luke, he is acting so distant… It… it reminded me of how he was last May" Lorelai's eyes sunk
"Oh, oh sweetie I am sure it is fine. He is probably stressed or busy" Sookie tried to comfort her friend
"Yeah, I hope so" With that she left, feeling sad.
1 Day till Christmas Eve
"Bye Sookie! Bye kids! Have fun, Jackson tell rune and bo I hope they…"
"Bye Lorelai" Davy said stopping her from her next sentence
"Bye Loela" Martha babbled.
Lorelai sighed as she watched the family of 4 go into the airport. She was now alone for Christmas officially, that is if Luke kept being distant. Lorelai drove Sookie's van back her house and picked up her Jeep. It was 5pm and Lorelai felt down, still no snow and a very weird Luke.
Christmas Eve
Lorelai woke up and felt like crying, Luke had stayed at the Diner for early deliveries and Rory was not home. As she got ready for woke she felt sad, she was working on Christmas Eve and Christmas day, most of her staff was on vacation and she didn't have anywhere to go. As she made her way to the jeep she noticed a note on the window;
Lorelai,
Tonight, 8:00 o'clock Apartment. Red dress.
Love, Luke
Lorelai smiled, maybe things were looking up.
Christmas eve was always Lorelai's favorite, it was magical and special, she felt warm even in the coldest snow on Christmas, as she walked to Luke's she tighten her coat around her, still no snow but it sure is cold she thought.
As she reached the diner she smiled, there was Luke, dressed in his usual date attire standing in the diner.
"Hey" she smiled
"Hi" Luke gave her a kiss as he shut and locked the diner door "Let's go upstairs" He pulled her hand and Lorelai couldn't help but giggle
As they reached the door Luke stopped "Close your eyes" he said
"What? Luke is this some sort of godfather thing, where are the conolies?" Lorelai joked
"Just do it"
"DIRTY" Lorelai gasped
Luke rolled his eyes "Close them"
"Dirty… and okay" Lorelai shut her eyes.
Luke had been waiting a week for this night, he felt a mix of excitement and nervousness as he opened the door.
"Open your eyes" Luke said as he shut the door behind her
"Oh… my… god" Lorelai looked around to find the apartment turned into Christmas. A tree was placed at the left of the apartment, decked in blue and purple lights, Lorelai's favorite colors. Pink, white and green lights strung across the walls and little snowmen, reindeers, nutcrackers, elves and a Santa were place on the coffee table, a red and green Christmas blanket placed on the couch. On the table a Christmas feast sat ready to eat. But the best part, the part that made Lorelai's toes tingle and heart beat was the fake snow placed with a perfect walk way to the table and other to the bed. "You… you made Christmas for me" Lorelai looked into Luke's eyes
"I made Christmas" Luke leaned down for a kiss
"This…. This is why you were being all weird all week?"
"Yes"
"I love you"
"I love you too, now let's eat" Luke helped her out of her coat and led her to the table.
During desert
"This is so delicious" Lorelai smiled as she took her last bite
Luke smiled okay now I just need her to go over to the tree he thought.
"So, does tonight make up for being weird all week" He joked
"Yes. God Luke you did amazing, I love it" Lorelai smiled
"Let me tell you getting a tree in here without anyone noticing was hard" go to the tree, go go he thought
"I bet, it is pretty"
Yes "Go take a closer look"
"Okay" she got up and walked towards the tree, Lorelai took a moment and eyed the tree up and down before her eyes settled on a purple velvet box; she picked it up and turned around. Luke stood and walked towards her, he took her hand
"Lorelai, from the moment I laid eyes on you I knew you were something special, something I couldn't live without. I love you and these past 6 months have been amazing, we have grown, and grown together. You are my light Lorelai, my best friend, my everything and I want you to be that for the rest of my life, I want to wake up to your beautiful smile every morning, I want to join our bank accounts and make a coupon jar that we both know, I want you Lorelai. So, Lorelai Gilmore, will you marry me?"
Lorelai smiled "Yes" she choked on her tears "yes, I will marry you" Luke slipped the ring on her finger, Lorelai put her arms around his neck and kissed him.
As they broke they both smiled
"Oh my god! We're getting married!" Lorelai smiled
"I know!" Luke smiled
"OH MY GOD! LUKE! LUKE! IT'S, IT'S SNOWING!" Lorelai ran to the window
"Wow" he walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her
"My little piece of magic" Lorelai grinned and looked into Luke's eyes
"Magic, yeah" Luke smiled and gave Lorelai a long kiss.
The couple watched as Stars Hollow was blanketed in snow.
AN: So… was that worth the wait? Lolz, I hope so.
