"That's the only reason you invited me here?"
"I..."
"Save it, I don't need your charity. I thought maybe I was finally making a friend , guess I was wrong. All guys are the same, jerks, I'm leaving." She finishes her speech and storms out of the place.
Luke instantly feels bad.
He runs out after her and notices her walking down the street.
"Lorelai"He yells, catching up
"Leave me alone."
"Im sorry."
"No youre not."
"Im not good at this."
"What?"
"I haven't dated since high school."
"Have you also not had a friend since high school? Because you suck at that too."
He smiles a little, walking fast to keep up with her.
"I'm not good at any of it."
"It's common sense not to treat people like shit."
"I know, that's not me, I don't usually do that."
"Whatever."
"I don't."
She stops short for a second.
"Listen, I don't know you, you don't know me, so lets just chalk it up to a bad night and stay away from each other."
"Why can't we start over?"
"Why? You feel bad for me, remember."
"I just don't know how to do this."
"You don't say shit like you did."
"Look I said sorry."
"Do you want a medal?"
"Fine, forget it. Have a nice life."
"I will."
She keeps walking, he turns, walks about 50 feet and turns back, rushing to keep up with her again.
"What are you doing?"
"At least let me drive you home."
"This town isn't that big, I can figure out my way home."
"Just because this is a small town doesn't mean it's safe to walk alone at night."
"I'll be fine."
"Please let me drive you home."
"I'm fine."
"You're stubborn."
"You're brilliant aren't ya?"
"Wow and mean."
"You are a grump."
"What?"
"I loosen up at that party and you freak on me."
"Let's go back, start the night over."
"You just humiliated me and you expect me to go back there."
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't seem like the type of person who cares about what other people think of her."
"Everyone cares in one way or another, even if they say they don't."
"I don't believe that, I don't give a rats ass what people think about me."
She rolls her eyes. "You don't know me."
"Then let's go back to the party, or we can go somewhere and hang out."
"Hang out?"
"Ya know, talk, get to know each other."
"If I had a quarter for every time I've heard that line..."
"Come on, you know you were having fun."
"I was."
"Then come on, lets go hang out."
"I am not having sex with you."
"Woah, no one said anything about that."
"I'm just saying."
"And all I'm saying is we should hang out."
She studies him.
"Fine."
He smiles. "Great."
She keeps her distance the whole walk back, the rest of the night they hang out, he introduces her to some people and they end up having fun. He walks her home that night , neither one wanting to drive just in case.
"Thanks for letting me tag along tonight."
"No problem."
"You were right, it was fun." She admits.
"I'm sorry for what I said, I didn't mean it."
"It's okay."
"You think we could be friends?"
She looks at him. "Hmmm."
He looks at her.
"I suppose."
"Okay."
"Alright, well, I have a daughter to check on."
"Isn't she sleeping?"
"Right, well, I am tired."
"Okay."He laughs.
