Out of Nowhere

Chapter 6 � Aftermath

Lane opened her eyes surprised to see it was just turning
light outside. She realized Luke would
already be down in the diner. She
wondered how they would react to each other now that it was morning and time to
move on. Rolling onto her back her arm
reached out and touched another arm.
Startling her for a moment, she turned her head to see Luke watching her
intently.

�Hey.�

�Hi.�

�Sleep okay?�

�Yeah, you?�

Luke suddenly smiled at her, �I don�t think I�ve ever slept
that well.�

Lane laughed relieved the tension that had been growing had
been broken. �I wasn�t expecting you to
still be here. I thought you were
opening the diner?�

�I started to get up but decided that I�d much rather stay
here. So I called Caesar and had him
come in for me.� Luke could tell by the look in her eyes Lane was relieved he
was still here. He�d been unwilling to
leave here to wake up alone. Last night
was something he didn�t think he would ever be able to forget and he didn�t
want her thinking he regretted it in the slightest.

He had spent the last couple of hours watching her sleep
trying to remember the last time he had felt so at peace with himself. A peace that surprised him for more reasons
than one. He had expected to wake up
horrified by what he�d done, full of remorse for having taking advantage of a
young woman who hadn�t known exactly what she was offering. But none of that had happened. There was no remorse or regret. Lane had given him complete acceptance, a
rare thing for him to receive. He could
honestly say that no other woman he had been with had been so willing to accept
him as he was. Lane had relied on him
to show her everything, she hadn�t been comparing him to others, as he knew
Rachel had done and she didn�t want him to act differently like Nicole
had. He could only hope her reaction
would be as good as his, he wasn�t sure what he would do if she suddenly
decided it had all been a horrible mistake.

Lane was watching Luke watch her. She was glad he had stayed, all of the comfort and passion of the
night before would probably have been overshadowed by nerves and tension if he
had gone downstairs. At least this way
she could see by the smile on his face that he wasn�t suffering any
regrets. Thank goodness, she didn�t
know what she would have done if he had decided it had all been a horrible
mistake.

�So. Now what?� Lane
couldn�t help but ask. Last night had
been incredible but they had both gone into it knowing it would be a one-time
thing.

�I don�t know. I
don�t think I�ve ever been in this position before.� Luke was unsure what to do now that they both knew the other
wasn�t having any regrets. �Are you
sure you�re okay with everything?�

�Absolutely okay.� She kissed him lightly and decided she
should leave on a high note. Lane
smiled at Luke then slipped out of the bed reaching for her clothes that were
piled on the floor. �I�m going to take
a shower and then get home. The guys
will hopefully be out to work when I get there.�

Luke watched Lane walk into the bathroom a little surprised
by her ease with walking around naked in front of him. He got up and went to the kitchen. He looked out the window thinking about all
of the things they had discussed the night before. It was morning now, usually things that seemed like a great idea
at 2:00 am showed their flaws in the morning but he had to admit everything she
had told him still rang true. He did
deserve better than what he allowed himself to have. Avoidance wasn�t going to solve any of his problems. She had shown him that he had more to offer
than he had thought. Maybe it was time
he made choices for himself instead of letting others decide for him.

Lane came out of the bathroom still feeling a little proud
that she had managed to walk all the way in there without a stitch on without
blushing a bright red. She came up
behind Luke and slipped her arms around his waist and kissed his shoulder.

�I hope you�re standing here making plans and not thinking
about your inventory or something?� She teased him gently. She wanted him to be happy; he deserved it
more so than anyone else she knew. It
was time he did something about it. She
herself knew she was different today than she had been before. All the things he had said had finally made
her realize that she could be herself and her mother�s daughter without feeling
split in two. Acceptance of others
begins with acceptance of yourself.
Okay, that�s enough Zen for one morning, she thought, that was a little
too deep for this time of day.

Luke laughed at her comment. �No inventory I swear.� He
turned to face her. �How about
you?�

�I�ve got a plan in mind.
Not a real complex one but I have faith in it.� She smiled at him then reached up and kissed
him. �That�s the last one of those I�ll probably get, huh? Please let me in on
what happens?�

�I�m sure you�ll pry it out of me somehow. Same goes for you.� Luke took her hand in his and followed her
to the door. �I�ll check in with you
later. See how you made out.� He kissed
her on the cheek and she smiled back at him and turned to go downstairs aiming
to slip out the back. He watched her go
and knew that someday she was going to be a very bright light in some guy�s
life. And he had better treat her right
or he was going to face Luke�s wrath.

Lane slowly walked up the familiar path and stopped in front
of the door. The scent of wood polish
washed over her and an ache formed in her chest. She knocked and waited for the door to open.

�Hi Mama, I want to talk to you about some things and I�m
not going anywhere until we come to an understanding.�

♠♠♠♠♠

Luke slowly walked up the familiar path and stopped in front
of the door. The sound of an eighties
rock band drifted out to him and ache formed in his chest. He knocked and waited for the door to open.

�Hi Lorelai, I want to talk to you about some things and I�m
not going anywhere until we come to an understanding.�
