Chapter 10- English Please
-Independence Inn-
"And this is the kitchen. Sookie what are you doing in the kitchen?" Mia spoke as she showed the girls around the inn.
A short bubbly girl with red pig tails answered, "I'm Sorry Mia, but I had a really great idea and I just had to try it out, but I didn't have the proper oven and-"
"It's alright Sookie. Do your parents know where you are?"
"Yes," she immediately said.
"Ok, stay as long as you like. Sookie this is Lorelai, the new maid. Lorelai, Sookie St. James."
"Hello," Lorelai said.
"Oh Miss Patty told me about you."
"Sookie wants to be a chef, so she uses the inn's kitchen to experiment."
"Try this," Sookie shoved some dessert type thing into her mouth.
"Oh, my, god, this is amazing!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"I know."
"What is it?"
"I don't really know; I made it up."
"You would be so rich if you sell the recipe."
"I wouldn't do that."
"Great, I wouldn't tell you too. Hey, can I have some coffee?"
"Yes, sure," she took a cup and poured a cup of steaming hot Joe and handed it to her.
"Oh, I missed you," Lorelai said after taking a sip.

A week went by as Christmas was approaching quickly. Lorelai had swiftly settled into her job. After one day of training, she was set to start the day after. Rory happily went to work with her mother. She would always intently watch her clean and fix the up room up to perfection for the next guest. The other maids immediately grew to disliking Lorelai. They hated how Mia was giving Lorelai food as well as housing. They had to cook and pay rent else where.

-A week from Christmas-
The Christmas processional rehearsal was going on as an exhausted from the long day at work Lorelai sat down at a bench with Rory in a carrier. Mia had given her the night off since she had been working hard the last week.
Her new home was also coming along. Luke would come by whenever he got the chance, usually muttering in Spanish, to fix up the shed for Lorelai and Rory. He had had enough with this girl.
Luke and his father were closing up the hardware store. They both saw Lorelai looking out into the town from the bench.
"She's such a nice girl," William told his son.
"Whatever,"
"Hey, dad there's a party tomorrow night at Kevin's house. Can I go?"
"Yes, and take Lorelai with you."
"What? No way. I cannot be on baby-sitting duty."
"I'll watch Rory for her. Take her."
"Dad, the town alright thinks that something is going on with us. When Rachel gets back she is going to hear about this and we are going to be in a mess, because this stupid nosey town cannot stay out of other's business!"
"I'll talk to Rachel. You have nothing to worry about."
"I-I. Fine I give up. I'll take her."
"Good, that's all I ask for."

"Lorelai?" Luke knocked on her door, later that night.
"Oh, hey," Lorelai turned around, flipping her hair in the process, to greet Luke.
"Hey I was wondering- well tomorrow night, there's a party at one of my friends house, I was wondering if you wanted to come."
"I don't know, with Rory and all."
"My dad said he could watch her."
"You sure?"
He hesitated before saying "Yup."
"I don't know how I feel leaving Rory just like that."
"Fine, whatever. If you want to come just let me know. See ya," he said and went back downstairs.
-X-
"She doesn't want to leave Rory alone," Luke told his dad.
"I'll talk to her. Don't think you can get out of this easily."
"But, dad, I'm going to have to keep track of her."
"Pretend she's Liz."
"She's no Liz."
"Yes, she is ten times more in control than Liz. I don't see what's so bad about this?"
"I come home from college every few months and when I do I work and help around the house and store. I don't get to see my friends much. I want this time to be with my friends. ¿puede sólo usted no dejarme hacer esto? (Can't you just let me do that?)"
"English por favor (Please)."
"I know you can understand me Dad."
"Luke, you can't just goes off and start ranting in Spanish."
"Why not?"
"Because I said so."
"Not a good enough reason."
"Hey, I'm the dad."
"I'm twenty years old, I'm an adult."
"Fine whatever, but you are living under my roof son. So you are taking Lorelai after I go talk to her."
Luke walked away grumbling in Spanish.
"That's not English."
"No me preocupo (I don't care)."
William went upstairs as Luke shut the door harshly to his room. He knocked on Lorelai's room.
"Come in," she answered.
"Hey Lorelai."
"Hello."
"So I hear you don't want to go the party with Luke tomorrow?"
"It's not that I don't want to go, but I would much rather stay here with Rory, or maybe get an extra shift at the inn."
"Lorelai stop working yourself, I know you are mom and you want to be able to provide for Rory, but please don't forget that you are sixteen years old. You have to still do things that sixteen year olds do."
"I used to party, sneak out and do everything else. I'm just not up to it anymore."
"I can watch Rory for you."
"Iiiiiii, um-"
"I have raised two children on my own. I think I can handle it."
"Are you sure because-"
"Go and enjoy yourself."
"Thank you so much William."
"I am never going to be able to pay you back. You took us to the hospital, brought us back here, told Mia to give the job,-"
"She decided that on her own."
"Thank you."

-The Next Night-
"Lorelai, you ready?"
"Keep your pants on!" she called out as she came down the stairs wearing a denim skirt that stop a little bit higher than the knee with a black t-shirt that had shoes all over it. Her hair was clipped back and black shoes with a coat in her hand. Lucky for her she had bought a couple nice, but casually pairs of clothes. Luke was waiting outside in jeans and a sweater that definitely showed off his muscles.
"You take too long," he told her.
"It's only 7:30. Everyone knows that the cool people don't get there until nine."
"I have to be there early?"
"Why?"
"Dad, I'll be home late," Luke tried to avoid the subject for now by calling out to William.
"How late Lucas?"
"Past midnight."
"How much past midnight?"
"I don't know."
"Then please tell me who will know?"
"Dad!"
"I'm just messing with your head. Have fun you two."
"Bye William," Lorelai said.
"Bye Dad."
"Bye Rory, Mom will be back soon. William I have more clothes upstairs and-"
"Lorelai relax. I know everything."
"Maybe I shouldn't go."
"You are coming now bye," Luke said, pulling her arm.
"Bye sweetie!"
They walked away from the house.
"So where is this party? It's walking distance, so it's in Stars Hollow?"
"Yes."
"Whose is it?"
"a friend of mine."
"Your friend have a name or are we making this a fun guessing game?"
"Kevin."
"Who else is gonna be there?"
"You ask too many questions."
"I know, are you going to answer?"
"If I say yes, will you stop asking me questions?"
"Yes."
"Ok, yes."
Lorelai waited for his answer after that.
"You said you will answer the question."
"What question?"
"Who else is go-"
"You said no more question if I say yes."
"But you didn't answer it."
"I did however say yes."
"You are mean!"
"You are annoying."
"Really I had no clue."
"We are here."
"That was fast."
"Well its Stars Hollow walk another five minutes and you are in Woodbury."
"Wow, it's really small."
"I told you. Come on."
Luke walked up the porch and opened the door. He just went right in.
"You can just walk inside?"
"Yeah."
"Hello? Kevin? Mitch? You guys here?"
"In here!" a male voice yelled out.
Luke followed the sound of his voice.
"Hey guys."
"Luke! I've missed you man," a tall guy with brown hair, brown eyes wearing something identical to Luke's just in another color said.
"Same here," another guy that was a little shorter than the first guy with brown hair and hazel eyes spoke.
"Yeah, it's been awhile."
"Who's the girl?" Kevin asked.
"This is Lorelai."
"Oh, the new girl with the baby," Mitch blurted out.
"Wait a way to be blunt Mitch," Kevin scolded.
"Sorry," he apologized.
"That's ok," Lorelai quietly said.
"Lorelai this is Kevin and Mitch. She's gonna stay here. Sorry I didn't let you know earlier," Luke sprung on his friends.
"That's ok, Babette was so right, she's smokin'," Mitch uttered.
Kevin slapped him upside the head.
"Sorry, you have to excuse Mitch here. He doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut."
"No, it's perfectly fine. I mean just because I have a kid doesn't mean I'm not like any other girl.
"So I can ask you to save me a dance later," Mitch's face brightened.
"I will kill you if you don't."
"Great."
"Ok, stop right there, did you guys did the amps set up?" Luke asked.
"No man, we were waiting for you," Kevin answered.
"Ok, well I'm here so we can put them together. Wait where Josh is?"
"He's running a little late."
"How late?"
"I don't know. He was with some girl."
"Ok, that might take awhile," Luke decided for himself. "He better get here soon. How are we supposed to play without a drum kit?"
"Acoustic?" Mitch pointed out their option.
"At a party? I don't think so."
"Naa, that won't work."
"You guys are playing live?" Lorelai asked.
"Yeah," Mr. Blunt, AKA Mitch answered her.
"What do you all play?"
Kevin responded, "Mitch plays bass, Josh as you heard plays drums, I play back-up guitar and Luke here is lead singer and guitarist."
"Lead?!?! Grumpy plays lead. Now the cockiness makes sense."
"What?" Luke was puzzled.
"Never mind, Butch."
"Don't call me that?"
"Why? Because that is what Sissy and Sissy only can call you."
"Go sit in a corner or something," Luke told her trying not to get mad.
"Awe, so there is a Sissy."
"Luke who's Sissy?" Mitch asked.
"No one," Luke replied.
At the same time, Lorelai said, "His girlfriend."
"Oh you mean Rachel," Mitch confirmed.
"Hey, did someone mention me?"
TBC!!
HA HA I am so evil. I was actually going to write a lot more, but I decided that against that. I am currently at Band Camp. Yes, I'm a band geek. Does it help if I say I would rather be at home, doing my honor's English homework?
PLEASE MAKE MY DAY AND REVIEW!!! I am probably posting this after camp is over because these smart "hi-tech" dorm rooms have very little to no internet service. So I have been 2 weeks without internet. How did I do it? I miss MAKE MY DAY after a CRAPPY week at BAND CAMP.
Next chapter: A certain red-head is back and demanding attention. Lorelai falls for one of Luke's friends. How will Luke react?
