"So THIS is Stars Holly..." I look around in awe, in this small surprisingly cute town
"Rachelle, its Stars HALLOW" Rory corrects me
"I know, sweetie" I smile at her, and pat her head, maybe she just learned it, i don't know why she keeps 'correcting' me. Its obviously stars holly, Hallow sounds kind of silly.
"oooo let's stop by Lukes!" Lorelei says, already speed walking towards 'Lukes'
"Is that a hardware store?" I feel like this town is filled with hardware stores.
"ya, we get a new lawnmower everyday!" Rory exclaims
"umm, ok whatever" I'm so confused at this point
We walk into 'Lukes' and its surprisingly a diner, even though we just ate. It smells super greasy and unhealthy, definetly not my cup of tea.
"umm, guys i might just wait outside, you know, walk around, explore a little bit" I try to find an excuse to let me leave this fat joint. (I'm not fatphobic I just care about my health)
"Oh cmon sis, you need to experience a real, proper friday night dinner. One with real class, and etiquette, including ketchup everywhere." Lor says trying to convince me, but if anything I feel more disgusted.
"fine, I'll just sit with you guys, but that's the MOST I can do." I give in, but I make sure to sit on my sweater, so I dont get contaminated by whatever viruses and crusted mustard that has definetly not been wiped off since maybe 7 years ago, at least.
RORYS POV
I walk over to the counter, where Luke should be, getting ready to order our final feast of the day.
"You know your gonna die in 10 years if you keep eating like this?" Luke asks, angry like always
"YUP!" I say excitedly
He looks over at our table, expecting to see my mom, the love of his life, although he'll never admit it, but looks surprised to see Rachellethere as well.
"Who's your friend?" He questions
"Oh, thats my aunt Rachelle, you'll love her" I say, but I doubt he will, there complete opposites
"Didn't know your mom had a sister so young...What's up with her, never been in a diner before?"
"I don't think she's ever been in a resturaunt that doesn't have valet." I say sarcastically, but I would'nt be surprised if it's actually true.
We stare at her shifting uncomfortably, sitting on her sweater, wearing an absolute disgusted look on her face, not trying to hide it at all. She really is something.
"Hey, by the way, my cousin's gonna come stay with me for a few weeks from tomorrow, he just lost his job and he's trying to get back on his feet, so just be prepared for a sad, mopey 30 year old sulking around. Oh, and his names Carter." Luke explains
"OOO fun, I'll be sure to stop by to meet him"
Just as I said that, the door rang, signaling that another customer was here, but Luke's response did not seem too impressed,
"omg, for christs sake, why is he early, I haven't even prepared his bed yet..." Luke grumbles while he makes his way over to the newbie.
I turn around to catch a glimpse of him and I am actually stunned. He looks like a model, a surfer, I don't know, honestly just a ball of light, so attractive and bright, theres no way he just lost his job, someone expressing that energy cannot be on a low right now. His smile is so bright, he seems like a person who whenever he smiles, the rest of the room smiles with him.
"LUKEY-PUKEY!!" Carter says jokingly
"DONT YOU EVER CALL ME THAT AGAIN" Luke yell, but I think there's a hidden smile there
"hey, thanks for letting me stay here for a while, you don't know how much this means to me" he says super gratefully
wow, there's NO WAY these two men are related.
His entrance seemed to have gathered everybody's attention, making a scene in the lowkey diner, Carter looks around, and stops at something, I follow his line of sight and I see Rachelle, glistening through the bad lighting, somehow looking good ALL the time. God, I really hope she teaches me her ways...
But isn't she taken, by that rude guy Josh, god this is gonna be a crazy few weeks...
RACHELLE'S POV
I've been listening to Lorelei's job description that she has so graciously blessed me with, it's my fault though, I didnt know one question would last a whole 10 minutes, I never took her as someone who LOVED their job at a motel. Love that for her though I guess. I finally catch a break and decide to look around, I have a mental clock going where I promised myself that I can leave in 5 minutes time.
I see a few other customers, all pausing to look at the counter, weird, I wonder what their looking at. I look over and see what I assume to be 2 waiters, one carrying multiple duffel bags, is his shift over or something? If I wasn't seeing Josh I would think that guy was hot, but I'm taken so I won't disrespect my love :).
I make eye contact with the departing waiter, who flashes me a flirty grin and a cheesy wink. I cringe inside and look away immediatly. This seat is starting to feel so much dirtier. I decide to get up and walk over to the kid. She seems to be waiting for the food, which I will definetly have to decline again, I bet they'll try to force it down my throat though.
"hey girl! Got the grub yet? what do you think, did that sound local?" I feel like they might talk like that here, it seems fun
"Luke, this is my aunt Rachelle!" rory hollers at the older waiter, who looks like he just stepped on a Bee.
he nods at me, probably signaling a hi, or maybe telling me to leave, I dont know diner lingo
"You have a very interesting resturaunt, I've never been to one of these things before, very youthful!" I say, giving my most pleasant comment, I'm a creative director, I can never lie.
"Umm, thanks..." 'Luke' says, hesitantly, probably not understanding a word I'm saying
"Hey Luke, wanna help me get settled?" The other waiter walks back in and says. Is he staying here? in this dump?!
"I'm a little busy right now, ask someone else!" Luke grumbles God, who ruined his life?
The other waiter takes that as an oppurtunity to look around, and choose his helper for the night. He stops scanning when he reaches me. God noooooooo I cannot handle anymore uncleanliness tonight. Im starting to hate this town again.
But if I'm being honest, I would much rather help him 'settle in' than eat this food, so when he gestures his head towards the back door, I roll my eyes and follow him. I turn to rory and warn her," If I don't come back in 20 minutes, he probably murdered me.."
