Out of Nowhere

Chapter 1 � Unexpected
p>
Surveying the kitchen in the apartment she was sharing Lane
was disappointed to find the groceries she had gotten the week before were
nearly gone. �Hey guys, when are we
going to be able to do some more food shopping?�

Brian responded from
where he was sitting on the couch �I�ve looked at our finances and we�re
running kind of low. I�ve asked for
some extra shifts but my boss is not big on overtime. What about you, Zach?�

�Dude, I�m tapped.
Ever since Al found out one of my roommates works for Luke, he�s been
giving me short hours.� They all nodded
at that, everyone knew Al, of Al�s House of Pancaksaw saw Luke as his biggest
competitor.

�Well, I guess I could ask Luke for some extra shifts, but
he�s been a little off for the last few days, so I don�t know if he�ll agree.�
Looking at the clock and realizing it was almost closing time for the diner
Lane decided to go talk to Luke now.
�Listen guys, I�m going to head over to Luke�s and ask him. I should be back
in a little while.�

As she came up to the dark diner, she realized Luke must
have closed earlier. She debated
whether or not to use the key he�d given her and decided that since the light
was on upstairs he probably wouldn�t mind talking to her

As she walked up the
stairs to his apartment she could hear stuff being tossed around and what
sounded like cursing coming from inside.

�Luke, are you th� sh� she called out while knocking on the
door. She heard a crash and curse and
it occurred to her that coming up here might not have been a good idea. Lane started to turn and go. She stopped
however when Luke suddenly opened the door.

�Lane?� Luke had been more than a little startled when he
heard someone knock on his door and even more so when he recognized Lane�s
voice. �What are you doing here this late? Is everything okay? Are you hurt?�
Listening to the questions rushing out of his mouth, Luke was a little
surprised to find he was this worried about Lane but she wasn�t normally the
type to go to strange men�s homes so late at night and that had him concerned.

�Oh, I�m fine Luke really. Listen it sounds like I came at a
bad time. Bad timing is normal for
me. I should really get that checked
out. Why don�t I just go? Bye!� Lane
was rambling on and on and was horrified that she couldn�t seem to make herself
stop. Finally cutting herself off she
turne go go and let out a little shriek when her arm was grabbed.

Luke was really starting to think something was wrong what
with the rambling and the nervousness.
Add in the fact that it was late at night, and he was really getting
concerned something had happened to her, what if one of those guys she lived
with suddenly got it into his head she was fair game! He grabbed her arm and turned her around to face him. �Lane did something happen? Did one of those
guys you live with try something? I swear od Iod I�ll kill him! Which one was
it?�

By now Lane was truly regretting coming over, she had no
idea what had gotten him so worked up and was a little uncertain how to talk
him down. �Luke, nothing happened I
swear! I just wanted to talk to you about something but it can wait.�

�Nothing happened? Are you sure?� �No, absolutely nothing
has happened to me!� Luke, calming down, realized he had been jumping to
conclusions and judging by the look on Lane�s face she was obviously thinking
his mind had jumped somewhere, like
off the tracks and into Crazyworld. He
also realized he was holding onto her arm still and dropped it as fast as he
could.

�I�m sorry, Lane. I�ve, uh, been having kind of a rough
night, I didn�t mean to scare you like that.�

�Oh, you didn�t scare me, really!� She noticed Luke had
calmed down considerably. Now that she
was able to think clearly and without him looking like some sort of avenging
angel she realized something startling.

Luke wasn�t wearing his normal flannel shirt. Nor was he wearing his normal jeans. He was wearing his normal backwards
cap, however. But the cut off sweat
pants and tank top were new to her.
Definitely new. She couldn�t say
she had ever seen his legs before or his shoulders or that much of his chest
really. She knew she was staring and at
his body no less but was having a hard time making herself stop.

She usually tried to cut off any thoughts she might have
about adult men knowing that it was probably pointless fantasy anyway. But every once in a while she would notice a
handsome man and wonder what it would be like to be with someone like
that. Ever since she had found out
about Paris dating the professor the thoughts had become rampant. In her more honest moments she could admit
to herself that when she fantasized it was usually about men around Luke�s age,
and in her completely honest moments she could admit that she had in fact
fantasized about Luke. Not so
surprising since he was the only single man she was ever really around.
>
Lane realized with a start that she had been staring at Luke
for a minute or two now and he seemed to be getting a little uncomfortable with
her scrutiny. She hoped he
hadn�t noticed her giving him the once over.

Meanwhile, Luke had noticed what Lane was looking at and he
was more than a little uncomfortable with the fact that her eyes seemed to have
landed permanently at waist level. The
way she was staring he wondered if at some point he had lost the cut offs. He was interested to note that she seemed to
be having trouble looking him in the face and then instantly criticized himself
for thinking any sort of indecent thought about Lane. She was making it difficult though, no woman had looked at him like
that since he and Nicole had started dating.
Thinking about Nicole reminded him of what he had been doing before Lane
showed up.

�Sorry I�m not dressed, I was rangranging some furniture
around and thinking about some stuff and well it�s late but if you want to talk
we can or tomorrow would be fine.� The fact that her eyes had shifted back to
his face hadn�t really given him any relief since he could now see her face and
could notice that her breathing was a little unsteady. Luke decided he was probably
turning into a perverted old man thinking about a kid like that and that he
really need to get her away from him.

�Lane, you should probably go. I�m not the best company
right now.�

Lane was surprised by the abrupt change in
conversation. She really focused on his
face and was worried to find he looked like he�d been through the wringer. Instantly, concern for him pushed past all
of her other thoughts.

�Luke, is something wrong?� She asked knowing he probably
wouldn�t answer.
I mean, you�ve been really good to me since I had to move out of
my house please let me return the favor.�

Knowing he was about to ask her to go and truly wanting to
help him, she decided to be a little more daring. She took one of his hands and held it between both of hers. The sudden move had the desired effect and
got Luke�s attention.

�I want to help. I�m not a little kid anymore. Maybe I haven�t been through as much as you
have but if it�s about relationship problems then I can definitely
relate.�

Luke wanted to take his hand back, he didn�t feel
comfortable having what amounted to intimate contact with Lane, but he didn�t
want to hurt her feelings, it had obviously taken some effort on her part to
reach out and touch him. Thinking about
her hesitation he wondered why people were always so leery of touching
him. He didn�t think he was that
unapproachable, sure he didn�t have the friendliest personality but he didn�t
think he was scary by any means.
Suddenly her hesitation reminded him of how Nicole had always avoided
touching him outside of the bedroom and he felt the anger building up again.
She certainly hadn�t seemed to mind touching Sockman on the way upstairs to
their bedroom.

�I appreciate your wanting to help, but it�s not
appropriate. Just do me a favor and remember the next time you�re in a
relationship with a guy and you want to break it off, don�t do it by sleeping
with someone else.� With that Luke removed
his hand from between hers and moved back farther into his apartment toward the
kitchen. Lane followed determinedly
behind him intent on getting some answers.

�Is that what happened?�

�Let it go, Lane.�

�Luke, if Nicole cheated on you then she�s obviously a
moron! How could she do that to you?�
p;
�That�s what I wanted to know. Thanks for the moron bit,
though.� Luke couldn�t help but chuckle when he saw how angry she seemed to be
on his behalf. He did like knowing she
was worried about him. Lane�s worrying
didn�t seem to be the same as Lorelai�s worrying. Lorelai did care about him but he could always tell it unnerved a
bit whenever he wasn�t the steady rock he was supposed to be for her. Lane though, just looked genuinely concerned
and he could appreciate the difference even if he didn�t like the fact that he
was comparing Lane to Lorelai. He
decided to try and convince her he was alright, he really needed some space
from her before she noticed something strange was going on with him. �Look, things were strained between Nicole
and I, we both let it last to long. That�s all there was to it, now I don�t
want to talk about this anymore.�

Lane nodded her head willing to let him be for the
moment. She knew it was going to take
some drastic action to get him to open up to her so she decided to wait and let
him calm down a bit before she tried talking about it.

�Lane, you never did answer my question about why you�re
here so late.�
