Chapter 33 Common Man's

' Lorelai…' Luke put down the lyrics sheet and looked into Lorelai's eyes. He slowly put both his hands on to Lorelai's cheek.

Lorelai looked at Luke nervously, not knowing how to react. ' What are you doing?'

Luke leaned closer and gently said, ' Will you just sit still?' then he gave Lorelai a soft kiss on her lips.

Lorelai blinked, her mind went completely nuts, swirling around the kiss she just received. She thought, ' That was too quick? Shouldn't we be talking first? No. Kiss is good. Kiss is always good. No. Not always! There's break up kiss, oh god is this the break up kiss? Talking about kiss, that was a lame kiss, if Babette was here, she will be screaming to Luke, give her a little somethin' Sugah!' Yea, what's up with Luke, probably lack of practice from all these weeks. Which means I'm a damn good kisser. Hmmm.'

'Shhh…' Luke still looking at Lorelai's eyes, he knew Lorelai zoned out for a bit just now.

Lorelai snapped back from her thoughts, she was still looking at Luke speechless.

'That was the beginning of my apology.' Luke explained. 'And this.' Luke leaned back to Lorelai again, and gave her a more passionate kiss, which made Lorelai said to herself, 'Never mind, I take back what I said.'

' Is the start of telling you how deep is my love.' Luke gave Lorelai his signature half smile.

Lorelai couldn't help but chuckle at how Luke said 'How deep is my love', ' Did you arrange that whole skit?'

' No. I didn't even know.' Luke replied, ' but as I said, this is just the beginning of my apology. There's more.'

' Luke, it's okay. You don't have to do more. You've done enough. It was my fault as well. I just kept pushing and thinking from my perspective.' Lorelai said.

' Keep thinking from your perspective.' Luke smirked and held Lorelai's hand.

' Are you done with the make up sex? I need to get out of this ugly purple towel dress thingy asap!' Jess shouted from the outside of the door.

Luke and Lorelai laughed at Jess' frustration and shared another kiss before getting up from the chair and opened the door for Rory and Jess.

' Luke, Camera! Camera!' Lorelai excitedly requested. 'Okay, you two stand by the TV.'

' No pictures!' Jess grunted, running into his room.

Luke caught the boy by the arm, dragging him back to the living room ' You'll thank us when you're 70. You'll showoff the pictures by the fireplace and tell your grandchildren all about this wonderful performance.'

' That is if I make it to 70 without dying of embarrassment.' Jess rolled his eyes and grumpily walked back to where Rory was standing and waiting for him by the TV.

' Okay, say cheese!' Lorelai kneeled down to take a perfect shot of the two. Rory had a sweet smile on her face as usual while Jess had a grumpy look on his face.

' Jess, please smile. You look like Luke in this picture. You're supposed to be me. Smile.' Lorelai pleaded Jess.

Jess sighed, and put on a big fat smile, showing his teeth for another picture.

' Finally!' Jess sighed after the picture, he quickly took off the purple towel and put on his regular clothing. He then tried to rub off the lip gloss and make up with his arms.

Lorelai went and helped Jess wipe off the make up with make up removal while Luke walked to his desk and took out an envelope off of his drawer.

' So...' Luke announced, getting everyone's attention in the room. Rory, Jess and Lorelai all looked up.

' As I said, it was only the beginning of my apology. Here's part 2.' Luke handed Lorelai the card.

Jess widened his eyes, 'Why didn't you tell us you already have a plan to get Lorelai back?! Then we didn't have to do all this!'

' I appreciate all of that Jess and Rory. Don't worry, you guys are in part 2 as well.' Luke smiled. Jess and Rory quickly sat next to Lorelai on the couch as she open the envelope.

Dear Lorelai,

If you are reading this letter, that means we have already solved our problems. I hope. I'm sure you've heard this for weeks, but I am sorry for what I said, and I definitely did not mean it because to your surprise, I have thought about it, thought about the word 'wife' and the image of your face for more than I should, and earlier than I should be. By now, you would know how dumb and slow I am as a human. I need time to think, process and make a decision. And I sure as hell can't multitask, forgive me for all these. I actually bought these months ago, before Jess got sent to Canada. I just needed time, Lorelai. And I think it is almost time. Almost.

Love,

Your simple man.

Lorelai looked inside the envelope, she pulled out a thin pile of paper. The two kids who were sitting beside her were as eager and excited as her to see what it was.

Before Lorelai could even reply, the two kids were jumping up and down on the couch, high fiving each other.

' We're going to Florida! Disneyworld! Universal Studios! Yay!'

Lorelai walked up to Luke, she wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling, ' You're not a simple man, Luke Danes.'

' You sure? Beer? Truck? Flannel Shirt? Baseball?' Luke joked, wrapping his arms around her waist.

'Shhh...' Lorelai gave Luke a kiss.

Luke chuckled, ' Damn, you're right. A simple man could not land such a kiss from a girl like you.'

A/N ' I think it is almost time. ALMOST.' lol Luke... I know this is short. But I think Florida deserves a whole chapter ;) Been sick since last week but i'm slowly recovering and so will the story. Thank you for the continue support, so grateful :) Reviews are always greatly appreciated! Till then, stay tuned...

Anon1, Thank you for your review! I now giggle whenever I hear that song because all I can think of is Rory and Jess dancing and singing lol. Ohhh, that's why you've been to Canada so many times! The fire has quiet down right now, residents are slowly moving back to Fort Mac. Was raining for almost a week, kinda felt like Britain for a few days here haha.
