What: Late night coffee
When: Friday, after the gala
Where: Luke's Diner
Ratings/Warnings: Rated Green for Jealousy!
Status: In Progress

It was late when Lorelai was heading home from the gala. She'd had more than a few drinks, and ended up taking a cab home. But as the taxi drove past the diner, she suddenly sat up straighter. "Hey, hey, stop here. Here's good." She paid the man and climbed out of the cab.

She could see Luke inside, closing up shop. The chairs were on top of the tables, and the sign had been flipped over to 'Closed'. Lorelai tapped on the door, making puppydog faces through the glass. "Little pig, little pig, let me come in."

She was dressed in a little black number, dressed up with pearls and a pair of kickass heels, which she was currently holding instead of wearing.

"Oh, you know. Celebrities sneaking in giraffes, like they do. He had a little top hat and a bow tie! Shame the monocle fell off, though." Somehow, Lorelai was not making all of this up, though she wouldn't blame Luke if he didn't believe her. "And there was almost a fistfight with dudes in suits."

"Seriously, they should've put 'Not your grandma's gala!' on the invites in neon orange font. Maybe a monster truck on the back." Was that what it took to get Luke interested in things? Maybe a promise of free fish bait? She honestly thought he would've enjoyed it.

	Sure enough Luke didn't believe anything Lorelai was saying. Hey, just consider the source. It was like Lorelai's favorite past time to make up fantastical stories just to annoy him. Luke did stop his mathing long enough to give Lorelai a weary look though. "Are you drunk?" he asked. He wasn't sure if he'd ever seen Lorelai drunk before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"What? Luke, no." Lorelai made a face, surprised. "I mean, I had a few drinks at the party, but I'm not drunk." Maybe a little tipsy, but he should've seen Tony Stark. Of course, if they were using Tony to set the new bar of drunkenness, most people would probably die of alcohol poisoning before they got drunk.

"You just wait for tomorrow's newspaper. It'll be all 'giraffes and monster trucks,' you'll see."

	"Right," Luke still wasn't convinced. "You bring in that newspaper tomorrow with giraffes in it and I'll give you free coffee for a week." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You're on," she said, grinning. She was already treated like a VIP around here, opening up late just for her.

She looked up at him. She'd had a dream recently that they'd been in the diner and she'd gotten a call about her father having a heart attack. Luke had driven her a long way to the city and stayed with her at the hospital. It was amazingly sweet, and she was really touched. It was just a dream, and she was probably a little crazy for getting so emotional about it. But she could see Luke doing something like that for her.

"Hey Luke?" she said softly, looking up at him. "Thanks."

	Luke wasn't sure what Lorelai was thanking him for, but wit these kind of things sometimes it was better to just not ask. He understood things like that. He just gave Lorelai a rare smile (which usually looked more like a grimace than anything else) and shrugged. "Yeah, sure," he said. (Reply to this) (Parent)
