"Stop."
"What!"
"Looking at me."Lorelai says.
"I'm not."
"Uh huh."
"Watch the movie."
"I am."
"No, you're looking at me."
"You looked at me first."
"Did not."
"Did so."
"Just watch the movie would ya."
"I am trying but you keep talking."
"Fine."
She laughs and looks back at the movie.
The movie is over and they take out the tape.
"Alright, I need to go get the munchkin."
"Ok. See ya later."
She smiles and walks away.
"Oh, Luke?"
"Yeah?"
"Great kiss."
He shoves his hands in his pockets nervously and nods.
"Thanks, you too."
She laughs a little and heads out, Luke closes the door behind him and hits himself in the head.
"Did I really just say thank you?" He says to himself and goes to clean up the snacks they were eating.
Lorelai pics up Rory from school and they go about their day. The week passes quickly and before they know it, it's Saturday night, Babette is over babysitting Rory because Jane couldn't come, and Rory is not happy.
"Mommyyyyy, I want Aunt Janie." She whines a little bit in Lorelai's room, watching her get ready.
"Aunt Jane couldn't come tonight, I'm sorry baby."
"But Babette isn't as fun as Aunt Jane."
"Just try to have fun."
"I want..."
"I know, but she couldn't come."
"Why?"
"Something with school."
"Oh."
"Sorry munchkin."
"But it's Saturday." Rory says.
"I know, but she's busy tonight."
"Okay..." She sits on Lorelai's bed and pouts.
"Oh now come on, no pouting."
"I like to pout."
"So do I, but it's not going to make tonight better by pouting."
"It might."
"Don't think so sweets."
"Where are you going?"
"Out with a friend."
"I wanna go."
"Next time"
"Where are you going?"
"Dinner."
"Im hungry."
"You will get pizza."
"I wanna get pizza with you."
"We get pizza together all of the time."
"I know, I like it."
"I do too, we'll get some tomorrow together, deal?"
"Deal."
"That's my girl. Promise me you'll be on your best behavior tonight?"
"I am never bad, mommy!"
"I know, angel."
"I am good."
"Just checking."
"I hope you have fun, mommy."
"I'll try. Now, how do I look?"
"Pretty."
Lorelai smiles.
"Thanks, kid."
"When I'm a grownup, I wanna be just like you."
Lorelai smiles proudly and kisses the top of her head.
"I think you'll be even better."
"I don't wanna be better, I want to be like you."
"Okay, shoot, I have to get going. Walk me out?"
Rory hops off the bed and follows her to the front door, meeting Babette half way.
"Have fun suga'."
"I'll try. Thanks again."
"No problem. Enjoy your night."
Lorelai gets in her car, meeting Luke at his house as planned.
She gets out of the car and meets him.
"Hi."
"Hi. You look great."He compliments.
"Thanks."
"No problem."
"So, where to?"
"Thought we'd grab some food first, then hit the movie?"
"Sounds great to me."
They drive into the city of Hartford to a little Italian restaurant near the movie theater and take a seat at a reserved table.
"Reserved?"
"I planned a little."
"This place is so nice."
"Good. I'm glad you like it."
She smiles.
"It smells good too."
"We'll, order what you want."
She smiles, "okay."
"They have good stuff."
"What's the best thing on the menu?"
"Anything."
"Hmm, don't see that." She jokes.
"Funny girl."
"Seriously though, what's the best?"
"I don't know really, it's all great."
"How's the Alfredo?"
"Good."
"Just good?"
"I said everything is good."
She laughs.
"I think I'll get that."
"Okay."
"What are you going to get?"
"I don't know yet."
"Do you come here a lot?"
"Not really, we used to but we don't anymore."
"Oh okay."
"My mom loved this place."
"Oh."
"Yeah. And the Alfredo is delicious."
"But, you said..."
"My mom used to get it."
She smiles. "Really?"
"She loved it."
"That's nice."
He shrugs. "I guess."
Lorelai can tell he's getting uncomfortable. "So uh, is it just you and your dad?"
"No, I have a sister."
"Oh, a sister."
"Yeah, Liz."
"Cool."
"I guess. She doesn't bother much. Holidays. She has a son too."
"So, you have a nephew?"
He nods.
"Cool."
"His dad is an ass."
"Ran out on her the second she gave birth to the kid, haven heard a word since."
"How long?"
"About five years. He's the same age as Rory."
"Aw, we should get them together on a play date sometime."
"I don't think so, Liz is kinda all over the place right now."
"Oh ok , no big deal."
"Maybe someday though."
"Rory would love that."
"I am sure she would."
"I mean she met this cute kid at school, but I would love her to have more friends."
"Of course."
Lorelai smiles.
"Hey, afterwards, you want to go back to my place? Dad's away."
"Luke..."
"To hang out. I am not asking you to do anything."
"Okay."
"We can just watch tv or movie or play a game or something."
"Okay." She agrees again and he smiles.
"Great."
"But just so we're clear, Luke this is just a-"
"Date I know."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. I would..uh..I'd never pressure you into something you don't want to."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
They continue their date and eat, then head back to Luke's.
"alright, so where you want to hang?"
Lorelai shrugs.
"We can go in my room if you want."
"Sure."
'Come on." He says and leads her in.
"You can sit on the bed. I'll pull up a chair."
She smiles and sits, getting comfy.
They talk for a bit and then they put in a movie.
"You can uh...join me on the bed if you want." Lorelai hints.
"You sure? It's not that big."
'Come keep me warm."
HE smiles and gets on the bed with her. He lays down and she snuggles into him. He drapes and arm around her. She thinks to herself, never did she feel this comfortable with a guy.
She looks up at him and smiles.
He looks down and then kisses her.
"Here we go again." she says.
"Except my dad isn't home."
She smiles again and kisses him back, playing with the collar of his shirt.
Things start to get heated after a few minutes, Lorelai pushes him back.
"We should stop." She whispers.
He smiles, nods and moves off of her.
"You're right."
"Or maybe just a few more minutes." Lorelai grabs him and kisses him again.
After another ten minutes, they take a break and focus back on the movie.
She yawns.
"I should go soon."
"Movie is almost over." He tells her.
She nods and her eyes start to get heavy, as does his.
Before they know it, they are asleep.
The morning comes quick and Luke's dad comes back early.
As usual, he stops in Luke's room to let him aware he is home and going to the store.
He opens the door and finds Lorelai asleep on Luke.
"What the hell is this?" He yells.
Luke and Lorelai wake up and jump.
"Dad?"
"What the hell is this Lucas?"
"I...we...just fell asleep." Luke stutters out as Lorelai searches for her purse, still a little groggy.
"You two were in here all night!?"
"Dad.."
"Shit, what time is it?" Lorelai asks, pacing. He hands her her bag.
"It's 6 in the morning." William says sternly.
"Shit, shit, shit. Rory...Oh my god, I have to go."
"Lorelai, wait." He gets up quickly and tries to go after her but she stops him.
"No, Luke, I have to go." She says and runs out of that house as fast as possible.
His dad stands in the doorway, blocking his sons exit.
"Please move dad."
"Not until you explain what I just walked in on."
"I'm 21, I don't have to explain myself to you."
"When you live in my house rent free you do. What part of, you shouldn't date that girl, don't you get?"
"Dad, nothing happened, we fell asleep."
"She has a kid Lucas."
"I know that."
"And you spent the night with her?"
"No...I mean, yes, but nothing happened."
"Yeah, right."
"Dad, we were watching a damn movie and fell asleep."
"Why don't you listen."
"Dad, I really don't need a lecture."
"Luke..."
"Dad, I like her. I know she has a kid. A great kid at that. I don't know why that makes a difference. Just because she has a kid doesn't mean her and I are making another one. I like her. I care about her."
"You want to date her?"
"I'd like to, but I don't know if I will ever have a chance now. She is probably so embarrassed."
"Then maybe she isn't worth it."
"I think that she is."
"I just don't know if you understand what you are getting yourself into if you date her."
"I do understand."
"Really? Are you sure about that? Because it's a lot of responsibility, that kid has a father already, and a family, you would be adding into that as her mom's maybe boyfriend-"
"We aren't boyfriend and girlfriend dad, we're just dating."
He sighs and unfolds his arms, getting a little less angry.
"Alright, son, all I want you to do is think about all of this very hard before you go trying to page her or talk to her."
"I doubt she's going to talk to me ever again, but thanks dad."
"I probably shouldn't have yelled like that."
"You think?"
"I am sorry."
"I care about her. She is a sweet girl."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. She never meant to fall asleep here.'
"But she did."
"She said she was tired last night and wanted to go, I told her to finish the movie first. It's my fault."
"So nothing else happened?"
Dad!"
"Alright."
"Thanks."
"So, you didn't kiss?"
'oh, we kissed." He admits.
He can't help but laugh at his son. "Oh Lucas, what am I going to do with you?"
"Maybe if things go well between me and Lorelai, we can all have dinner some time so that you can get to know her better. I know you already love Rory."
"The kid?" Will jokes.
"Yes pops, the kid."
"She's a cool kid I like her."
"Me too, I like both of them. Trust me when I say I understand what I am getting myself into dating her."
"Okay, good. I love you son, I just want to look out for you."
