new part ... wenns überhaupt noch jemanden interessiert ...


Rory was sitting at the kitchen table when Lorelai got home. Her daughter had a book lying in front of her.
“Hey hun… Ah, learning again?” Lore asked her.
“Yup! Have to prepare this text for tomorrow” Rory answered.
“Do you know this little diner in town?” Lorelai sat down next to her daughter.
“Luke’s Diner?” Rory looked at Lorelai.
“I don’t know the name. I only know that the coffee’s great but the owner’s an asshole”
“Ah, guess that’s Luke’s…”
“You’ve been there?”
“Yeah”
“When?”
“I don’t know, Mum! A few days ago!” Why was her mother asking those stupid questions?
“Have you been there once? Or twice? Or actually more times?”
“Mum!”
“Rory! Just answer my questions, what’s the prob?”
“Stop bugging me, Mum! Am I not allowed to do what I want and to go having a coffee where I want?”
“Of course you are! I was just… interested in… that diner!” Lorelai finally admitted.
“In the diner or in the owner?” Rory grinned.
“Rory! I just told you that the owner’s an asshole, didn’t I?”
“Well… yeah… okay, Mum, am I allowed to go on with this?” Rory pointed at her book.
“Sure… sure…” Lorelai stuttered, then went up to her bedroom.
“Crazy…” Rory murmured, smiling.

It was eight a.m. when Lorelai got up. She took a hot shower and left the house earlier than she did usually. Because she had no coffee at home… At least this was her excuse for going to the diner…
Lorelai took a seat next to the window. She watched the tall man with the flannel-shirt and the base cap for a moment until he came over to her. Yesterday she didn’t really notice how good he looked…
“What do you want?” he asked unkindly.
“I want you to be a little nicer to your guests!”
“What do you want to eat or drink?” he asked again, not less unkindly than before.
“Bring me a coffee”
Then he went back behind his bar without saying a word. Lorelai really didn’t know why but somehow he attracted her. Uh, this impolite man… Damn!
“Here’s your coffee! Anything to eat?” he grumbled.
“Can you recommend anything?”
“Take a look at the menu. I don’t know what might fit your taste!”
“Well, you…”
“Stop talking and take a look at the menu, alright?” He left again.
Wow… He REALLY attracted her! Although he was so unkind. Lorelai watched him again all the time while drinking her coffee. Good coffee.
After a while he came over to her and asked: “Do you have a job?”
“What? Do you want to employ me?”
“No, I just looked at my watch and wondered if you shouldn’t be at work at twenty past nine!”
“What? Twenty past nine?” Lorelai shrieked and jumped up. She gave the diner-man some money and then quickly left the diner.
“Crazy woman…” Luke smirked.
