*Thread rauswühl*
*abstaub*
*huuuuuuuuuuuust*
Oki :doof: *lol*
Ganz ehrlich, wer hätte gedacht, dass ich jemals weiterschreib?
*gespannt in die Runde schau*
Also gut, ich hab doch tatsächlich mal weitergetipselt, Rating würd ich für diesen teil mal PG13 ansetzen... Was weitere evtl. NC17 Teile angeht, werde ich die dann wohl bei
Beyond Illusions posten, da die ja hier nicht mehr erlaubt sind.
Aber genug der Vorrede, neuer Teil, there you go:
______________
When the first rays of sunlight slid into the bedroom the next morning, Lorelai was still asleep. It was only 7am and she meant to sleep for another 30 minutes but when the sun tickled her nose she woke up. She didnât turn but felt with her hand the place next to her. It was empty.
âGreat,â she mumbled. Not that she was all to keen to talk to Chris anyway, but him sneaking out this way was worse. Opening her eyes just a little she tried to find the way to the bathroom.
She got out bed and almost fell over a pair of jeans that had somehow found itâs way right on the doorstep last night. Last night. She didnât want to think about it, she had thought about it almost the entire night and was now unpleasantly remembered of it. This had never happened to her before, neither with Chris, nor with anyone else. Somewhere inside her she knew that it wasnât her fault, but part of her reproached herself. Maybe it
was her fault. Maybe Chris didnât find her attractive anymore. Maybe he had someone else.
Trying to focus on anything but that, she took a long, hot shower. But while the warm, soft strings of water stimulated her body, her mind kept going back to the previous evening. She simply had to talk to him. She had meant to do so for a long time now but every time she had actually tried to, he had distracted her some way. Usually with sex. She sighed and wiped the thought away, making a mental note to âno matter what- talk to him that night.
When she had put on some clothes, she walked downstairs. She took the newspaper from the porch and flipped through it on the short way to the kitchen. While she was skimming the headlines she wondered if people had nothing better to do than gossip about a corrupt politicianâs affair with his secretary or the latest Hollywood divorce. At least, she thought, she wasnât the only one whoâs life completely sucked at the moment.
âCoffeeâ, she thought and was about to fill the machine when she noticed that the tin where she kept it, was empty.
âThis dayâs just getting better and betterâ¦â
***
She could already see from the outside, that the diner was crammed with people. She really wasnât in the mood for company but as she didnât know how to make the day without any coffee, Lukeâs coffee, she had no choice but face the crowd.
âWhyâs everyone already up?â, she thought, while she opened the door and stepped inside. There was no free table left and since she the last thing she wanted was to be sounded out about her personal life by Miss Patty and Babette who were currently discussing Mrs. Jonathanâs latest husband, she settled down at the counter next to Kirk.
âMorming Loremaiâ, he managed to mumble through a chocolate muffin he was just chewing.
âDid your mommy never teach you that you donât speak with a full mouth?â The words came out harder then she had meant them but Kirk didnât seem to bother anyway as he was just taking another bite.
âSommyâ.
Luke came out of the kitchen, carrying to plates with eggs and brought them to Andrew and Gypsy, who were obviously enjoying themselves loudly at a table in the back corner.
Chris. Last night. Chris.
After Luke had refilled some customerâs mugs with coffee he turned straight to Lorelai.
Chris. Other woman?
âHey, what can I get you? I made butter cream this morning, you want pancakes with it?â
âHuh? No, just coffee. Please.â
âEverything alright?â
âYeah, sure.â
Chris. Her fault?
Luke turned around to the coffee machine when Nicole came downstairs from the apartment. She walked straight over to Luke and kissed him. He sat the coffeepot back in itâs place in the machine and swung his arms around her hips, pulling her closer.
âYou look rested this morning.â
âI feel indeed very good. I would have felt even better if you had still been there when I woke upâ¦â
Happy couples.
âUh, Luke?â, Lorelai tried to interrupt.
âIâm sorry, I had an early delivery to take this morning.â
âYouâre such a busy manâ¦â
Canât they do that somewhere else?
âHey, Luke?â
âBut if you can get here for lunch Iâd be happy to continue where we left off last night.â
âLUKE!â
âWhat?â, Luke and Nicole said in a chorus. The other customers said nothing, not even a whisper and suddenly it was dead quiet. People were staring at her and Babette shot Miss Patty a knowing look.
âNothing⦠nothing at allâ, she said, got up and left the diner without blinking at anyone.
âHey, what about your coffee?â
