"God I love Danish day." Lorelai Gilmore smiled as she pranced down the street. Rory chuckled at her.
"Danishs to make the day seem better." She said.
"You are my daughter after all." Lorelai smiled walking into Luke's. Rory skipped her way to their normal spot. "Luke, two cherry danishes." She said to Luke who was talking to a young woman, "Luke, Danishes....Luke?"
"In a second Lorelai." Luke said handing the woman a slip of paper. "I'll see you tonight."
"I'll be looking forward to it." She smiled walking out of the establishment. Lorelai stared at Luke.
"Who was that?"
"A woman." He said pouring the Gilmore girls their usual coffee.
"What was on that slip of paper that you gave her? Directions to bunt cake or maybe directions out of Stars Hallow?" Lorelai asked.
"ah...no." Luke took out two Danishes and put them on plates.
"Was it your number because she said she was looking forward to tonight? Did she mean you have a date tonight or that she was really looking forward to going to bed tonight...by herself?" Lorelai asked.
"Her name is Connie Smith. She is a costume designer. Miss Patty hired her to design her new outfits for the girls and yes we have a date tonight." Luke said. Lorelai frowned slightly.
"Yeah well....What kind of name is Connie Smith?"
"What kind of Lorelai Gilmore?" Luke asked.
"Danish." She said. Luke handed her her order and Lorelai walked back to her daughter, "Luke has a date tonight."
"Well, good for him." Rory smiled getting her Danish.
"Good for him? No its not good Rory." Lorelai said sipping her coffee, "They go out on this date tonight, then they go out on more, then dating Connie turns into a serious relationship, then Luke proposes, they get married, and have kids. Luke sells the shop and they move to new York City. This shop turns into a Starbucks with rude waiters."
"Her name is Connie?" Rory wrinkled her nose.
"Rory, this is serious." Lorelai said.
"I don't see how, Mom." Rory said, "Luke needs to get out in my opinion." Lorelai glanced back at Luke. He was yelling at a customer.
"Maybe you're right." She said.
"I am." Rory smiled as Lorelai stood up.
"Don't be late for school." She said getting her purse.
"Wait...Where are you going?" Rory asked.
"I haven't said hi to Miss Patty in a long time." She said rushing out of the diner. Rory sighed softly.
"Lorelai Gilmore strikes again. Watch out Stars Hallow."
* * *
"And one and two." Miss patty smiled as her girls danced before her. Lorelai walked in. "Lorelai Gilmore! hello!"
"morning, miss Patty." Lorelai glanced at the girls.
"What are you doing here?"
"Cant I come see you and inquire how my great friend is doing?" She asked. Miss Patty raised her eyebrow.
"What do you want?"
"What do I want? I want to know how....I want to know about Connie smith." Lorelai sighed admitting defeat.
"My costume designer?" Miss Patty asked.
"Yes...Her." Lorelai said.
"Well, Shes wonderful. Shes from Boston and has worked on a lot of costumes on Broadway shows. We are really lucky you have her here in Stars hallow."
"Shes wonderful?" Lorelai asked, "Shes not a mass murderer or the Boston Strangler?"
"Heavens no!" miss Patty laughed.
"Well...Good." Lorelai sighed.
"Why are you asking?" She asked.
'Oh no reason. bye Miss Patty." Lorelai ran out so she wouldn't be late.
Rory stood up, slinging her backpack over her shoulder, and stepped off of the bus. Her face brightened when she saw her boyfriend, Dean.
"Hey!" She smiled standing on her tip toes to kiss him.
"Hey.' He smiled pressing his lips gently to hers.
"Stars Hollow is still standing. I'm glad.' She smiled looking around. Dean cocked his eyebrow.
"What?"
"Oh...Mom was on her rants today." Lorelai said walking towards Luke's.
"about what?"
"Luke has a date tonight." Rory said. Dean nodded his head opening the diner's door. Rory skipped her way to the stool. "Hey Jesse, Can we get two cups of coffee?"
"Sure." Jesse smiled softly at the blue eyed brunette.
"Thanks.' She smiled at him. Dean sat next to her. "Where's Luke?"
"He's actually in the shower." Jesse said handing them their drinks. Rory chuckled slightly.
"Okay." She looked at Dean. he was giving Jesse a look, "So How was your day?"
"Small talk Rory?" Dean smiled.
"It wasn't very small. I said a five word sentence. Small talk is more what Luke says. One word sentences." Rory said. Dean chuckled.
"Right. I forgot I was talking to the littlest Lorelai."
"I am not little." Rory smiled.
"Corrected once again." Dean kissed her forehead. Jesse sighed slightly and tended to a customer.
* * *
Lorelai slid on her tight red shirt. She bit her lip looking at herself in the mirror and sighed. She quickly ran a brush through her hair.
"That'll have to do." She spritzed perfume on herself and walked downstairs. "Rory, I'm going out." She said grabbing her purse off of the kitchen table. Rory looked up.
"Wow, mom, got a hot date?" Rory laughed.
"What? no. I'm just going out....for coffee." Lorelai said. Rory narrowed her eyes.
"Mom, no you're not going." She said.
"You're denying me coffee?" Lorelai asked.
"I'm denying you to go break up Luke's date." Lorelai gasped.
"Lorelai Gilmore! How dare you accuse me of such things.' She looked around the kitchen nervously, "Don't wait up for me."
"but mom." Rory said.
"I don't have time to talk about my butt." Lorelai rushing out of the Gilmore house. Rory groaned loudly.
"This can't be good."
* * *
Luke smiled softly at Connie. She was heavily flirting with him and he loved it. it had been awhile since a woman had flirted with him.
"So you really like Stars Hollow?" Connie asked.
"I love it." he said.
"From what I've seen I love it too." She smiled playing with her drink.
"Oh yeah?" Luke smiled at her.
"Yeah." She said, "So, you live above the diner?"
"Why yes I do." Luke said.
"I wonder what it looks like." A loud groaned came from the table next to him. Luke glanced over. The person covered their face with a menu.
"It looks like a one room apartment. my nephew lives there with me." Luke said.
"Oh." she nodded, "I'm staying at the inn."
"I've never really been in one of those rooms." Luke said. The table next to him groaned louder. Luke stared at it. "Do you have a problem?" There was silence. "You've been looking at that menu since we've been here." Luke reached over and grabbed the menu, "Lorelai."
"Ah....Hi." She smiled. Luke narrowed his eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
"Grilled mahe-mahe?" She said. Connie glanced at Lorelai.
"Who is this Luke?" She asked.
"Lorelai Gilmore." Luke sighed. "Shes a customer...a Regular customer. What are you doing here??"
"I....I..." Lorelai bit her lip, "I should just go."
"Yeah. maybe you should." Luke said. Lorelai's face dropped. She immediately grabbed her purse, stood up, and left. Luke groaned. "I'll be right back."
"God, Lorelai, you can be so stupid." Lorelai shook her head rummaging in her purse as she rushed through parking lot. "What the hell were you thinking/"
"Lorelai! Wait!" Luke ran after her.
"Go back to your date, Luke." She said trying to unlock her car door.
"Why are you here?" He asked. She turned to him. God he looked so good. He wasn't wearing plaid nor a baseball hat. his beard was combed. His hair was slicked back. He looked nice. She could hear the words in her head. They were on the tip of her tongue. "What Lorelai?"
"I....I....I..." she looked into his blue eyes, "I love you." Luke stared at her.
"You tell me this during my date with Connie?" He said.
"I've been wanting to tell you for years...I just couldn't." Lorelai said almost in tears.
"Why Lorelai? why couldn't you?" Luke asked.
"I was afraid, scare, terrified...I...I still am." Lorelai said. Luke took all of this in. "Do you Luke? Do you still love me?"
"You just broke up with max." Luke said.
"Max means nothing to me." Lorelai said, "You mean everything to me. Say something."
"Oh Lorelai..." He whispered. Luke slipped his hand around her neck and pulled Lorelai into a kiss. It took her off guard but she didn't pull away. His lips upon hers felt marvelous. Heat radiated between them. Lorelai opened her mouth slightly allowing Luke to slid his tongue in. Her whole body shivered and a soft moan emanated from her lips. Lorelai Slid her arm around his neck pulling her body close to his. her tongue slid against his, caressing it slowly. This was more amazing than she had imagined. Soon, Luke slowly pulled his lips away from hers. he rested his forehead against hers, "God Lorelai, I love you." She smiled softly.
"I'll still get my danishs on Wensday right?" she whispered. Luke chuckled.
"Danishs and much more." he bit his lip. Lorelai smiled at him with a smile.
"Danishs to make the day seem better." She said.
"You are my daughter after all." Lorelai smiled walking into Luke's. Rory skipped her way to their normal spot. "Luke, two cherry danishes." She said to Luke who was talking to a young woman, "Luke, Danishes....Luke?"
