She sits down beside him and flicks through the channels with her head resting on his shoulder. They don�t even know what they�re watching, all they know is that they love each other. They wonder whether or not the other loves them back. They do, and somehow they know this and they stop wondering. They fall asleep like this- Lorelai resting her head on his shoulder and Luke depending on her not asking him to leave. They dream about one another, their future. Both dreams are as perfect as possible.
Luke wakes up first with a jolt of his head.
�Lorelai?� He remembers last night, and doesn�t want to disturb her. He looks at the clock on the tv.
8:37
�Lorelai, wake up, Hon�.� Realizing what he just called her he thinks back to his dream. They were happily engaged, and they were both worried about the wedding. They seemed to agree on everything, but they still had those pre-wedding jitters.
�Huh?� Lorelai wakes. �Luke?! You�re still here?�
�We fell asleep. I should be at work and you should be asking for coffee.�
Lorelai is still thinking about her dream. They had been engaged and were both nervous, excited. �So, why didn�t you wake me up?�
�Isn�t that what I just did?�
�Yeah...uh..sure,� falling back to sleep.
�Lorelai we�re both already late. Lorelai?�
�Rory says good morning.�
�Huh?�
�Last night when I called her, she said to tell you good morning when you wake me up.�
�You mean...Rory thought? Lorelai you know we didn�t...?�
�I know, ... �Hon��
�Sorry, it just slipped out,� he says nervously. Then he remembers yesterday morning feeling okay about it.
�It�s okay...I�m getting up I promise.�
�Yeah me too.� Both fall back to sleep. An hour later Lor wakes up, ...kind of.
�I love you too, my coffee god.�
�Huh?�
�What? Oh, good morning.�
�You just said it again.�
�What?�
�You just told me that you loved me again.�
�Go back to sleep; you�re imagining things�
�Lorelai, we can�t go back to sleep; it�s a quarter �til ten.�
�What?! Why didn�t you wake me up?� she asks jumping off of him.
�You asked me that an hour ago.�
�Come on, get up, Luke!�
�I�m up,� he then says following Lorelai and jumping up.
�I gotta get dressed. You gotta go to work...Oh My God! Your truck! Everyone�s gonna see it! Miss Patty�s gonna see it! And you know what they�ll think!�
�Yes, I know what they�ll think, ...but is it really that bad?�
�Luke?! Everyone�ll know!�
�Know what? There�s nothing to know.�
�Yeah, but they�ll think we...�
Cutting her off, �You get dressed, I�ll leave.�
�Okay,� seeming fairly disappointed that he�s leaving. �See you in like thirty minutes.�
�Huh?�
�Hello, I need your coffee!�
�See you then.�
They go their ways and meet up forty-five minutes later in the diner. Miss Patty and Babette are talking about Luke, Lorelai, and Luke�s truck.
�Hey, Hon�,� Lor says to Luke with a grin.
He points to the two in the corner.
�Oh, Luke! Who cares?! They should know that that was just a joke anyway.�
�Well, they don�t and I think you know that,� he says after spending the beginning of the morning changing his mind on how he feels about people talking about he and Lorelai. He actually cares for her and doesn�t whatever it is that they have turned into something superficial.
�Why do you care so much, when they talk? This morning you basically said, �whatever�,� trying to sound like Luke.
�Lorelai, they are talking about us!�
�There�s an �us� huh, Snookems?�
�Lorelai, don�t start!�
�Aw, you get so cute when you�re mad!� Now whispering, �Are they watching?�
Not whispering, �Yes, Lorelai they are. You�re already late, so can you take your coffee and go to work?�
�Luke, my darling, you�re causing a scene.�
�Lorelai!�
�Oh, you�re no fun...Bye bye, ...Hon��
�Bye, ...,� whispering, �Waffle-Wolfer.�
�Aw, you�re too cute.�
Whispering in her ear, �Can you come over later?�
Whispering back in his ear, �Sure.�
At the inn Sookie tracks down Lorelai. �Where have you been?�
�I know it�s like 12:30, but I�ve had a good day so far. Does that make up for anything?�
�Spill!�
�I knew that would work...Okay know don�t freak, but Luke came over to my house last night, and he was still there when we woke up.�
�Oh my god,� not sounding as surprised as Lor had expected.
�Sookie?!�
�Yeah?�
�What did you see?�
�I noticed that Luke�s truck was still there this morning.�
�Yeah, that�s pretty much what I figured...okay you deserve it for barging in...I�m gonna tell you the truth.�
�What? Is the truth bad?�
�No, it�s definitely not bad, but it�s not what you think either. We just fell asleep watching tv.�
�Watching tv?�
�Yeah, Watching tv.�
�Are you sure it wasn�t,� using air quotes, ��watching tv��
�Yes, Sookie, I�m sure�
�So, what was so great about it?!�
�Sookie?! ...He said that I�m his best friend.�
�And...?�
�And what? We fell asleep on the couch.�
�You�re right,� noticeably disappointed, �I�m sorry. That�s great.�
At the diner Luke can�t wait for Joan and Melissa to leave and for Little Miss Waffle-Wolfer to come back. By 4:00 he can�t wait any longer; he goes upstairs to call her. After no answer twice, he begins to worry. She always answers her phone, even in the diner where there�s a rule. He goes back downstairs after giving up.
�Hey!� Lorelai says wondering where he�s been.
�I was just tying to call you. Why didn�t you answer?�
�Sorry, the battery�s dead.�
�Oh, why�d you get off work early?�
�I don�t really want to say.�
�Was it �cause you missed me?�
�Luke?! Why would I get off work just to see you? ...Yeah, maybe you guessed right.�
�Ceaser can cover for me if you want to talk.�
"No, I'm good....Thanks."
"Coffee?" Luke was already pouring coffee for her.
"Thank you so much!"
Lorelai sits there for another hour until she changes her mind and asks Luke if they can talk in his apartment.
"Of course."
Once there she remembers the night before. It was fabulous. They're both thinking about it when Luke snaps out of the daze first and asks Lorelai if she wants to sit down. She sits and begins.
�It was ...great, and...It was just fun you know?�
�What? Last night?�
�No, Abraham Lincoln being shot, ...uh yeah, Luke. Didn�t you think it was fun?�
He nods and smiles. �I feel comfortable and just...right with you.�
�Aw, that�s too bad cause I change my mind; I don�t want to be friends anymore....� Luke looks scared and disappointed. �That�s why I wanted to come up here and talk. I think we should change our situation...our relationship.�
Luke is smiling again, �Into what?�
�I think you know what....I think we should become mortal enemies.�
�Well, I think we should become invincible enemies,� he says jokingly.
�I�ve always wanted to be invincible....Really though Luke, I think...I want you to be able to call me your girlfriend, and I want to be able to call you my boyfriend. And I want to have to worry about things like whether or not we�ll be buried next to each other...because you know we�re not really invincible. I want to worry about whether or not we should get a new mailbox, because mine says Gilmore. Should I take your name, Luke? Do you want me too?� She moves closer.
�Hey now!� he says surprising her. �Who ever said I would move into your place? Why wouldn�t you be moving in here? Don�t you like my apartment?� he comments with a smile spread across his face.
�At the moment?...More than anything.�
Luke gazing into her eyes imagining what it would be like to kiss Lorelai Gilmore.
Ceaser walks in definitely interrupting a moment.
�Oops, didn�t know you were about to make out.�
�Ceaser?! What is it? What do you want?�
Lorelai smiles. She can�t help but do so. �We weren�t doing anything....I promise.�
Luke, �Sure you weren�t.�
Sarcastically, �Excuusse me, Mr. Wouldn�t-Touch-Me-With-A-Ten-Foot-Pole.�
�Dirty!�
Ceaser butts in again, �I�ll be going then. I was gonna ask where you put the straws this time, but I can obviously see that you�re busy.�
�Bye, Ceaser.�
Ceaser leaves.
�Are you busy, Luke?�
�I wouldn�t touch you with a ten foot pole, and anyway you were the one that made the first move right?�
