"Morning sleepyhead", she said with a smile across her face, remembering the night before

Flashback

He was going to be married to the woman he loves. Yet, he felt as if something was missing. Then, he saw her. She lit up his entire face.
"Luke! I can't believe it's you!!" she yelled, throwing herself towards him. It was more than he could imagine. He fell in love with her, again. He knew he couldn't hurt his fiancé, but she was drop-dead gorgeous. He couldn't take it anymore. He picked her up, spun her around and kissed her.
She knew she was doing something wrong but she couldn't help herself. She broke away from the kiss, took his hand and led him to her house.

End of Flashback

"Mornin' pretty girl", he said with a huge smile.

"Luke, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this, you're marrying Peyton tomorrow..."

"But??"

"I couldn't help myself. I love you, you know that?"

"I love you too", he said and kissed her forehead.

"What are we going to do about your wedding?" Brooke pulled the blankets over herself and started grabbing her stuff. It was all over the floor.

"I don't know", he said helping her. Brooke couldn't take it anymore, she started to cry.

"Hey, don't cry. I'll do something", he said pushing her hair out of her face.

"I don't know Luke, you're marrying Peyton today. I just can't break her heart. She'll be really mad at me. Anyways if you loved ME you wouldn't have proposed in the first place." she spat out, a little harsher than intended. Lucas was hurt but covered it up with anger.

"You shouldn't have come in the first place!"

"Luke! Peyton's my best friend! I should be happy for her. It's just I can't lose you anymore", she said,"plus, you said you LOVED her. What happened to that?!"

"I do, but a new feeling rushed over me when I saw you, I can't explain it", he said blushing.

"Luke, I-I'm-I'm sorry. I-I-can't" she said, trying her best not to cry.

"Brooke please", he pleaded, "just hear me out."

"10 min. and I'm out of here."

Naley's house:

"Mommy! Daddy!" the four-year-old hollered, "we're gonna be late!!" Haley looked at Nathan and burst out laughing.

"What? What is it?" Nathan asked, leaning in for a kiss.

"I'm sorry, it's just," she turned him around to face the mirror, "most people I know put their underwear on BEFORE their pants." Nathan's face turned bright pink.

"Mommy, what is it?" James asked turning to face Nathan, "Daddy, you look funny," he said giggling.

"Hales, go with James, I'll be out in a sec"

"C'mon James, let's go to see Lily"

"Yay!" James yelled.

Meanwhile:

"I didn't propose it just happened," Lucas said, "I love you Brooke."

"Well, if you really loved me you should've told me."

"I know, and I'm sorry. I didn't want to screw up. I love you, not Peyton. In fact, I'm going to stop that wedding"

"Luke-"

"Don't stop me, I'm doing this for you."

"You know I love you and I won't stop you, if this is what you really want."

"It is" they locked eyes for a second and then he pulled her into a hug.

"I'll let you do it but only if you promise me one thing"

"Anything"

"Don't tell Peyton I was involved in this decision."

"Brooke, I need to tell you something"

"What?"

"You aren't the only reason I'm stopping this wedding"
