Chapter 4:
Max's Renunciation
Luke was at the kitchen sink, with a glass of water, in nothing but his boxers. Luke reflected on his good bye with Lorelai.
"Soooo, are we okay? I mean, … are we a… we, I mean, an us?"
" I definitely think there could be an 'us'?" Lorelai smiled at how flustered he was.
"So, we can make this a regular thing now?
"my my we have a one track mind.AlthoughI could get used to seeing you in just your boxers" she snapped his waistband.
"I meant ... including… dinner? A movie? Two things I know you love."
"Definitely, in the foreseeable future." Lorelai nodded.
"good, so? Tomorrow? 7:30?"
"Sounds perfect."
Lorelai kissed him goodbye, a kiss which could have quickly taken them back in the direction of the bed. "Luke, I have to go… " she whined, wishing she could stay …"Rory needs her mommy."
"Oh My God" and Luke took a few steps back.
"What?"
"Rory?"
"What?"
"Is she gonna be okay with this? With us? I mean,… Geez, and what do we tell the town? Did you know Patty has been trying to set me up with strange women since Rachel left…"
"Luke, Luke, calm down, no one knows yet."
" 'Yet' being the operative word. You know how every little tid bit spreads like wildfire in this town …"
"We'll I'd definitely call what happened more than a tid bit…"sarcastically offended, knowing he was just in mid rant.
"You know what I mean." Apologizing.
"Luke, it's okay… we'll just… play it by ear."
"Play it by ear?"
"Yeah, they will know when they know… it will be fine. and sneaking around, kind of sexy... "
He took deep breath. "Lorelai…"
"Yeah?"
"I'm glad this happened." Not sure if he had said it before.
"Me too." And she kissed him a final time. "now I really have to go, tomorrow night… 7:30."
"Tomorrow morning, … 7:30, … Coffee." he confirmed. She smiled, and turned to head to the door. "Lorelai wait!"
She turned to tease him. "Aren't we possessive, missed me already?"
He smiled as he stepped toward her. "Are you sure you don't want me to walk you home?"
"Now Luke, … how would that look?"
"I don't care how it would look, I want you safe."
"Say that again?"
"I want you…"
She cut him off, "I want you too, but it's Stars Hollow, and nothing will happen," Just one more peck" I really have to go home now…." she smiled.
Seeing he couldn't change her mind. "Just call me when you get there."
"I will" and she leaned in to kiss him again.
Luke watched as she went down the stairs, and left him alone again.
He smiled as he finished the glass of water, and shook his head in disbelief. I'm with Lorelai. It only took four years.

Lorelai was smiling on her way home. She literally beamed, practically floated on air. Now the decorated town seemed really pretty, the happiest sight in all the world. This was unexpected yes.welcome? absolutely Yes. It was that type of excitement with something new and passionate. Besides She was just so happy that her questions had been answered … She was too wrapped up in the irony of the match, a Junkie and her coffee angel. It was Luke who started the logistical thinking, how to ell Rory? how to tell the town. still Lorelai couldn't wait to let her best friend in on this secret.
I have to tell Rory!! Well, maybe not about everything.. when she's 21 okay...
Lorelai pulled her cell phone out of her purse to dial the familiar numbers of home, when she noticed she had a message. Right, I turned it off when iwent to Hartford. She smiled as a funny thought hit her; If Luke hated cell phones in the diner, she couldn't imagine how much he'd hate them during sex. Naturally, curious whom she had missed she listened. She went through the ceremony of listening to her own cheerful voice and punching in her code. Then she stopped dead in her tracks, feet suddenly firm on the ground again, as Max Medina's voice played in her ear. "Lorelai hi, … this is .. Max … Medinia .. ummm look, I know we're on a break… of sorts… but I'd really like to talk to you again … even if it's just on the phone. Maybe, … maybe start dating … again. Call me, tell me what you think…" She was no longer floating, she had completely forgotten about Max. WOW, the Luke Danes effect. What were the odds? When did he call? Was it while Luke and I were…? And her phone was off, obviously for a reason. Could it have been fate? The spirits of the founding lovers giving the next generation a hand?
Unbelievable, As she dialed the teacher's number. I'll Tell you what I think.
"Hello." Max answered his phone.
"Your timing sucks." She leveled.
"Lorelai?"
"Yeah, … Hi."
"Is something wrong… ?"
"Yeah, you called me.."
"I'm sorry?" he was confused, "… I thought we were on an open ended break? I called to see if we could end that… maybe…date… again."
"Bad idea." She said firmly.
"Bad idea?"
"Yeah…"
"Lorelai, I haven't been able to stop thinking about you…"
"You are Rory's Teacher!"
"And you are her mother ..."
"Exactly, that is beyond my control, and You were put on propation for kissing me on the campus, how serious could we really get?"
"Yes but ..."
"And this affects Rory, those preppy snobs torture her already, what if they use our relationship against her?"
"Lorelai it's high school not the mob."
"Apparently, you have never been a teenage girl."
"Obvioulsy"
"I just think it's a bad idea."
"Lorelai, please..."
"Have you dated anyone..?"
"What?"
"Have you dated anyone, since we've been apart…?"
"Well, … yes…"
"There you go."
"Well Lorelai, I didn't join a monastery. We were cooling things off."
"Exactly cooling things off, now It's the ice age, baby, and the dinosaurs are dead…"
"Lorelai, what are you saying…?"
"You dated other people? Anyone serious?? Hmmmm."
"Lorelai ?"
"Answer please."
"Yeah, okay, fine. There was one, kinda serious but it made me realized how much I wanted to be with you…"
Why is life so complicated. She had finally Seen Luke for what he was; An amazing man, Among his many Attributes, who could make a more than decent cup of coffee. A man who satisfied her needs, Coffee food, hardware or and other wise. oooo dirty!
She wasn't going to fall for it this time. Not the school teacher charm. Besides, Max is the one who ended it, and it hurt when he had said it two months ago. He has been seriously dating all this time, and I've only just gotten back in the game with Luke… Luke. She remembered his touch, his voice, his very face made her smile as she relived the night in her mind. "I've met someone, too…" she said, seriously into the phone.
"Oh … I see, … is it … Serious?"
"Yeah, he is just, … so wonderful, and good, and I think the pieces are falling into place. And you know, Rory likes him, she's used to him…"
"Already?"
"Let's just say he's been a friend for a long time, and I finally … saw him, for who he really was."
"Which was?"
"Perfect for me." she said simply.
"Ah, … well, … how can I compete with perfection."
"Goodbye Max." she didn't wait for a response.She did feel bad, Max was a great guy, just not the one for her.The complications of dating one of Rory's teachers had already proved hazardous. It's best to keep the Hartford world and the Stars Hollow world as separate as possible.She smiled as she climbed the final steps to her porch. And dialed another number, and she waited as it rang.
"Hello?"
Making her voice high pitched."Hi my name is Bambi, I'm into baseball and guys who fry things."
Recognizing her voice,Luke played along. "WOW, Bambi, was it, I only have a few minutes till my girlfriend calls."
Lorelai giggled. "You called me you're girlfriend."
"Lorelai? is that you?"
"uh huh… I'm home safe and sound."
"Good, thanks for calling,"but he needed to couble check somthing "…Lorelai."
"Yes?"
"Are we at the point in this relationship where I call you …my girlfriend?"
"If you want me to be."
"I do, ... so Good, Good, ... I'll see you in the morning..?" he added little embarrassed that he couldn't wait to see her again.
Lorelai made the right choice and she was happy. Luke didn't really know about Max, no sense in starting a fight over nothing. "Definitely. You better have the coffee waiting."
"I don't know, It maybe decaf."
"Do you want this relationship to work? What happened to compromise, Mister!"
"Hey, I'm getting a bigger bed for you…"
"That's right, … you are…"she grinned, at all the things they would be able to do in a bigger bed. If tonight was only a sample …hmmm.
"Good night Lorelai"
"Good night Lukey Pookie"
"If you want this relationship to work, do not call me that again…"
"Maybe only in bed."
"No, not ever…"
"Well see?" And she hung up and turned to go inside the house. Lorelai put down her keys and her purse on the foyer table."Rory?"
In an instant Rory come flying out of the living room. "Where have you been?" Tears streaming down her face, tackling Lorelai and she began to sobbed into the hug with her mother.
"Oh Rory, honey, I'm so so sorry, I should have called, I didn't mean to worry you …"
"We just broke up"
"What?"
"Dean, broke up with me… "
"Oh boy," So Lorelai comforted her daughter.
Hmmmmmmmm, maybe Luke could kill that 10 foot tall freak.
