erm... Elü ich weià nicht was du dran seltsam findest, sorry *schäm* ich bemüh mich echt, aber ich raffs nicht, weil Mia will nur das Beste für Luke und das Beste is unbestrittener Weise Lorelai
und Lore sollte mit wem drüber reden meint sie, deswegen der "professional" *g* egal...
Danke wie immer für das grandiose FB *bussis austeil* :knuddel: an alle *g*
âLorelai, when I said I wanted to go skiing, I mean to Vail or Salt Lake City, but not over the big pont to Europe, to
Kitzbühel! I mean, this is too much, itâs too expensive, itâs-â Lorelai interrupted his rant by hitting him over the head with the folder containing the tickets, then walking off in the direction of the fridge, pulling out a bottle of water.
âJesus Luke, I wanna go away, far far away from all of this, why canât you accept this?â
He held his hands up in surrender âOkay, okay, Iâm sorry, I didnât wanna pick a fight with you⦠but this is so expensive⦠And I feel really bad when you pay all the expenses on this tripâ
Lorelai screwed the cap off the bottle and took a big gulp. She wiped her mouth with her index finger, then turned her eyes on him.
She walked over to him and took his hand
âHey, itâs gonna be a great vacation, we could use one after all weâve been through and I donât want you to worry about money issues⦠Iâve got it, Luke, and what good would a vacation do without you?â She looked at him lovingly.
âHey, I heard that they play Citizen Kane tonight, you wanna watch?â he interrupted the silence, surprising her with that suggestion.
âThrow in some popcorn and you got yourself a dealâ she grinned, knowing sheâd never get him to agree to popcorn unless she blackmailed him.
He only rolled his eyes at her âFine, Iâll make you some popcorn⦠As long as I donât have to eat itâ He gave her hand a last gentle squeeze and went over to the microwave, preparing her popcorn.
She grabbed her favorite blanket from the bed, putting it neatly onto the couch, standing in the middle of the room, her hands in her pockets, not knowing what to do.
âHey, can I help you?â she offered, hoping heâd give her something to do âIâm making popcorn, thatâs not that hard that Iâd need help, thank youâ
âOkaaaayâ she sighed, looking around the room, jumping from one foot to the other impatiently. He looked back at her over his shoulder and scowled.
âYou canât stand still for 2 seconds, can you?â She grinned brightly at him âNoooo I canât and thatâs why you love meâ She extended her hands for the bowl of popcorn, sitting down on the couch âNo, I love you in spite of thatâ he mumbled to himself.
âHeeeey! I heard that!â She swatted his arm playfully, spilling some popcorn onto the floor. She looked at him apologetically, batting her eyelashes
âOopsi, clumsy meâ¦.â He gave her his best you-annoy-me-but-I-wonât-give-you-the-satisfaction-of-reacting-the-way-you-want-me-to and grabbed the remote. She only extended her hand, commanding him to hand it over immediately in a very stern voice. He held it out to her, knowing she wouldnât rest until she had it. She clicked on the TV, zapping around a little until she had found the right station.
She wrapped herself in âherâ blanket (she had acquired it immediately after she had spent the first night at his place, calling it hers ever since) and scooted closer to him, putting her head on his shoulder, offering him a corner of the blanket silently. He gladly took it, not daring to wrap her arms around her, this being the first real physical contact ever since. He just didnât want to push her.
Lorelai kept stuffing popcorn into her mouth, munching away on it happily, almost falling asleep on his shoulder. The movie wasnât that entertaining so she wondered if she could annoy Luke into eating some popcorn. A smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she offered the bowl to him, never taking her eyes off the screen. He didnât catch on the first time she tried so she shook the bowl a little, trying to get his attention.
âWhat?â she felt his voice against her ear before she actually heard him âWant some?â she asked innocently.
He merely snorted and replied monotonously âYou really thing Iâd eat that?â gesturing to the bowl, he almost knocked it out of her hand
âWatch it, this is sacred! You sure you donât want some?â
âYes, now be quiet, I wanna watch the movieâ he hushed her, slightly annoyed.
Lorelai smiled to herself. She was getting there.
âCome on, at least try itâ she whined.
âNoâ he said flatly âItâs unhealthy, itâs fat and I donât wanna clog my arteries with that junk, okay?â
She sat up next to him, grabbing one piece of popcorn, holding it out to him âOne piece, come onâ He shook his head resolutely
âDonât be such a baby, Lukeâ She touched the popcorn to his lips, waiting patiently for him to open it.
But he wasnât gonna give in this easily.
âLuuuuuke just eat it, for me?â She smiled sweetly, but no effect. She nudged his lips gently âIâm not gonna give up, you know that, might be better for you if youâd just eat it nowâ He gave her an exasperated look, then opened his mouth.
She quickly pushed the popcorn in before he changed his mind and was about to pull her fingers back as he closed his lips around them. Keeping his eyes locked on hers for any sign of discomfort from her side he gently licked the salt off her fingers.
She swallowed hard, removing her fingers shakily, looking away.
He hung his head. âIâm sorry, Lore, really. I shouldnât have done that⦠I donât know why I did it, I-â
He almost cried as he realized what he did to her, but she cut him off by saying quietly âI understand, Luke, I know itâs hard for you, but I canât jump over my own shadow you know?â
She put her head on his shoulder again, closing her eyes. She felt so safe when she was with him, she knew it sounded cheesy and corny, but she felt ⦠home.
She stroked her fingers over the back of his hand, contemplating her next move. Was she ready? She opted for âyesâ, took his arm and put it around her shoulders. He looked down at her, surprised at her move, but soon relaxed into her and put his head atop hers.
They soon were fast asleep, cuddled together on the couch, the TV showing the test picture of the TV station.
