Lucas took Haley's seat next to Lindsey. "So, why are you really here?" he asked her, getting straight to the point.
Lindsey shrugged and mumbled something under her breath. Lucas arched an eyebrow at her. "What was that?" he asked.
Lindsey sighed. She knew he wasn't going to make this any easier for her. "I'm pregnant and I want to know if I'm still in love with you," she repeated.
Not many people would have understood the connection, but Lucas did. "Okay, well there's only one way to figure this out, isn't there?" he asked.
Before Lindsey knew what was happening Lucas was kissing her. It was…nice, but it wasn't what she felt when she was kissing Blake. They were two different feelings. Kissing Lucas was okay, he was definitely a good kisser, but there was none of the chemistry that she felt with Blake.
Just like that, her question was answered and she pushed him off of her. Lucas looked at her expectantly. "I can't believe I almost screwed up my marriage for you," she muttered, a reflective smile on her face.
Lucas scoffed. "Thanks, you make me feel so much better," he said. He didn't give her a chance to say anything else before he continued. "I'm glad we got that cleared up."
Lindsey looked at him curiously before looking around. She saw the curly headed blonde that belonged to Peyton looking at them. Before she could really tell if she had been staring or not, though, the girl turned away and wrapped her arms around the boy Haley had said she was dating.
She turned back to Lucas. "What are you talking about?" she asked because she couldn't decipher his tone.
"I can't get Peyton back if you are around trying to tell if you're in love with me or not, can I?" he asked.
Lindsey raised an eyebrow. "You're trying to get Peyton back? Why don't you just tell her? I'm sure she'll take you back," she said.
Lucas sighed and shook his head. "She's dating someone else right now. Not to mention she's put all her old walls back up. I can't tell if she loves me anymore, or even likes me," he said, running a hand through his hair.
Lindsey smiled. "I'm sure she still likes you at least," she said. "I can help you if you want. I mean, she doesn't like me much, but I'll help you any way I can," she said.
Lucas laughed. He looked at Lindsey and noticed she was sincere. "Thanks for the offer. If I need anything I'll call you. I'm sure she likes you more than me," he tried to reassure her.
Lindsey smiled wryly. "Let's hope that isn't the case," she said. She looked over and caught Haley's eye. Haley was standing next to Nathan and they were talking to Brooke and Ethan. Lindsey waved Haley over.
Haley said something to Nathan, Brooke and Ethan and started walking over. She stood next to the two of them. "Yeah, what's going on?" she asked.
Lucas was looking at Lindsey, trying to figure out why she had called Haley over. "We need your help getting Lucas and Peyton back together," Lindsey said simply.
Haley didn't so much as acknowledge that she had heard Lindsey before turning and walking back to Brooke. She interrupted Brooke, who was talking to her husband, and whispered in her ear.
Brooke nodded, and looked over at Lindsey and Lucas. She turned back to Ethan and Nate. She said something to them and then Haley walked back to Lindsey and Lucas, while Brooke walked into the house.
Haley gestured at them to follow her and then followed Brooke into the house. Lindsey and Lucas looked at each other. Then they both shrugged and followed Brooke and Haley. They found them in the spare bedroom.
Haley closed the door behind them when they walked in. Brooke was sitting on the end of the bed. Haley took the chair. Lindsey sat at the head of the bed and Lucas stood, leaning against the door.
He looked over at Haley. "Why are we in here?" he asked her.
Haley sighed patiently. "If we're going to come up with a plan then we need to be somewhere where no one can hear us," she said.
Lindsey nodded. "So you'll help?" she asked, looking in between Brooke and Haley.
Brooke and Haley looked at each other and rolled their eyes. "We were already coming up with a plan, but if you want to be included, you can," Brooke said.
Lucas smiled, then thought better of what they were doing. "Peyton won't like it if she finds out you guys were plotting against her," he said, a little bit reluctant.
Lindsey studied him. "Do you want her back or not?" she asked. Lucas nodded without hesitating. "Then you're probably going to need some help, especially if she's with someone else. Now, do you want the help or not?" she asked.
Lucas sighed as he thought about it. He did want her back more than anything. He just wasn't sure he wanted to plot to do it. Then he rethought it and he wasn't sure he'd get her back without the help. Finally he nodded.
Brooke and Haley looked over at Lindsey. They were surprised that she was willing to be a part of the plan. "I thought you were still in love with him? What changed your mind?" Haley asked.
Lucas and Lindsey shared a knowing look. "That was taken care of. Now I want to help him get with Peyton. Now, tell us this plan you guys are working with," she said.
A/N: See, Lindsey might have a positive purpose after all. Review, please!
