Emily's Gift By Andre Tetreault Part 4 - Nerves and Excitement Luke's Thursday 8:20am ======================================================================== Lorelai enters Luke's for her morning coffee, this morning she's tired for she wasn't able to sleep well, so her nerves were pretty raw this morning and she needed coffee. She goes to the counter and looks at Luke, opens her mouth but can't say a word, like she's in a trance, she just keeps staring at him, he then turn around and notices her. Wondering why she's looking at him this way he also notices how tired she looks and says "No coffee for you this morning". This wakes her up from her moment. "What, why you know I need my coffee in the morning, and this morning I need it more than usual." "Why more than usual?" "I had a very bad night last night, I kept having nightmares and thinking about Saturday" "Don't worry it will be fine, everything will be ok, you'll see." "Ok I'll believe you, but I still need my coffee" "You are impossible, do you know that". Luke pours coffee into a mug for Lorelai to drink. "Yes but you would miss me if I didn't come for coffee anymore" smiling while picking up her mug of coffee. Luke watches her take a sip of her coffee as she closes her eyes and savors the taste and the feel of it going down her throat, Luke can't believe how beautiful she looks, even when she's tired. "Heaven, this is just heaven" she replies to Luke with a big smile on her face. "You're sick" he says back to her which is followed by a grunt. She starts to laugh and leaves the diner. Independence Inn Thursday 8:40am ===================================================================== "Sookie" Lorelai calls "Yes here" she answers back "Where's here Sookie" demanding an answer to her question "On the floor where I fell after tripping on a box" "Oh god Sookie are you all right, do you want me to call 911" she says worried about her friend. "No need for that, I'm used to it now." laughing Lorelai then helps her friend from the floor to stand her up. Lorelai then look at Sookie's face. And before she gets to ask a question, Sookie says. "Yes the coffee is ready you just need to serve yourself" she says with a smile on her face. "Your my best friend forever" Lorelai responds back to her while visualizing herself drinking the coffee. "As long as their is coffee ready, I'll always be your friend because otherwise you would kill me." "even without the coffee, I'll always be your friend Sookie" she then hugs her friend. and they both start laughing. Sookie continues to cook while keeping a eye on Lorelai who is just standing there enjoying her coffee, she notices that her friend seems a little apprehensive. "Lorelai are you feeling ok" sookie asks a little worried. "Oh yeah, just thinking about Saturday." "Don't worry your fiancé will be there, he loves you" saying it while smiling at her best friend. Lorelai face registered shock as if what Sookie said was either truth or a joke she couldn't figure it out. Did she want Luke to love her or not, the real question is do I Lorelai love Luke. Chilton Prepatory Academy Thursday 9:45am ======================================================================== Rory heads for her locker, when upon arriving there, notices Tristin leaning against her locker waiting for her. He sees her looking at him and smiles back at her, not the smile he gives her when he's being a jerk but a warm softer smile, one that she hasn't seen much of. Seeing that smile puts her momentarily off balance for a couple of seconds, she then looks at him with his blonde wavy hair and deep cobalt blue eyes, at this point she was starting to feel those familiar butterflies in her stomach again. "He.. hello Tristin" she says trying to look anywhere but his eyes. He responds nervously "Hey! Rory, how are you?" looking directly at her. "I'm fine, how about you" "I'm ok, but I wanted to ask you something" Rory then looks at Tristin face an asks "What did you want to ask" "For saturday where do you want us to meet, do you want me to pick you up and what should I wear?" "Just meet me at my house, I'll give you the address and how to get there, were going to a wedding and then a reception and possibly a dance too, so a suit will do it's your choice." "what time do you want me to be at your house?" he asks "Be there around 9:00am, then after we're all ready we'll go to the wedding, Tristin, if you want you can just bring your clothes and change at the house before we leave. she says. "Trying to see me naked aren't you" he says with a smirk on his face. "Why would I even want to see your scrawny little body" she says as she starts to blush and turns towards her locker to hide her face. He says that it's not a problem, that he'll go to the gym, then meet her at her place and change into his clothes. He explains to her that every saturday morning he usually goes to the gym to get into shape. He then leaves and Rory puts her back to the lockers to support her body from falling since her legs are shaky and felt like rubber. Gilmore Mansion Friday 6:30pm =================================================================== "Come on mom, we'll be late again, hurry" Rory yells through the house. "I'm coming keep your panties on" Lorelai responds while dashing down the stairs. "I got the keys of the Jeep" heading for the exit. "Good let's go" says Lorelai smiling at her daughter. Rory looks at her mother and wonders why she is smiling. "Why are you happy and smiling?" she asks her mother. "Because it's a beautiful day" she replies. "Try again, your never happy on friday's because we have to have dinner with grandma and grandpa" she says. "Ok i don't know why exactly, I think it's the party tomorrow but I can't be sure, i have to think about it for a while" "Maybe it's because Luke will be there" "No no I don't think so" *Am I interested in Luke that way, and would I say yes to going out with him* Rory sees her mother pondering the question in her head so she leaves her alone to think about it for a while. On arriving at the Gilmore mansion (grandma's house), they both get out of the Jeep and head towards the door, for a moment both of them stand before the door and take a deep breath before having to go in for a long two hour diner. Lorelai then rings the doorbell and patiently waits with Rory, moments after the door opens, standing before them is Emily with a big smile on her face. "Come in, Come in" says Lorelai's mother to her family. "Hi grandma" replies Rory with a smile. "Hi mom" Lorelai says as she steps in the house. "Hello, hello how are you both" Emily says. "Were just fine mom, so how was your week" she asks. "Very busy, many things to do this week. saying it with a smile. *I wonder what she's planing, if I know my mother I won't like it* Rory turns around and looks at her mother, she seems to be nervous about something, probably nerves about the party tomorrow. 7:00 O'clock arrives and they sit themselves around the table for dinner, the whole meal was pretty civil nobody got into an argument for once which was refreshing to say the least. Rory turned to her grandmother and asked. "So grandma is everything ready for the party tomorrow" smiling. "Yes I think so, me and Richard will be at your house around 10:00am tomorrow morning, the ceremony starts at 11:30am so Lorelai has to be there at 11:00am time to get the people in their places, after the ceremony we then go to the Independence Inn for the reception and the dance, should be a fun day, it certainly will be a first for me and Richard. Lorelai looked at her mother who was full of joy at that moment, and she was happy about that but at the same time she was frightened also. On the way home Rory asked. "Mom why were you nervous when we got to grandma's house?" curious about the answer. "Well my mom never does anything without a reason, and what is making me so nervous is that I still can't figure out what it is" "Maybe she just wants you to be happy and have a beautiful birthday for once without having to fight to give it to you, don't forget she actually talk to me before doing this to make sure it was something that you would approve of". "Maybe I'm just being paranoid that's all, it's just that she has always tried to manipulate the situation before, well anyway let's just enjoy the moment ok" When they got to Stars hollow they got some coffee at luke's, who wasn't there, he left Tim to take charge of the diner for the night, probably getting ready for the party, they proceeded to go home and rest.
