TaDa! The nd is here, ladies and gents, but don't you worry! I have other fics and I may do a sequel to this one! Enjoy your final chapter and keep your eyes peeled for me! I'm working on a fic for GG and Pirates Of The Caribbean right now. I'm going to do some other stuff too. I'm glad you all enjoyed this fic, as I have enjoyed writing it! Lucas and Haley all the way, people!!! Whoohoo!

Chapter 9: Haley's POV
I laughed as Luke tugged my hand and led me into the Cafe. The expression of boyish excitement on his face was too much to resist.
"Luke? You should be out celebrating with the team." I reminded him, as he led me towards the stairs.
"I've got a better plan, Ms. James!" He grinned broadly, tugging my hand again. I followed him willingly, cause let's face it, I'd follow him anywhere. Just the feel of his hand in mine made me his willing slave.
"Oh really?" I raised my eyebrows, stopping him again. "And what idea would that be?"
"Close your eyes and you'll see." His grin was practically stretched from ear to ear now and I couldn't refuse him anything. I giggled and shook my head, before complying to his request.
He led me up a few more steps, before he paused to open a door. I felt the cool breeze of the night air hit me, as we stepped out onto what I presumed was the rooftop, where we played minigolf.
Lucas stopped me. "Wait here." He whispered seductively. "I let you know when to open your eyes." He gave me a soft kiss, before I felt him pull away. I heard the slam of the light switch and without opening my eyes I felt the roof get brighter.
Even though he didn't touch me, I felt Luke return to my side. After a moment, he took my hand in his and gave my fingers a gentle squeeze. "Before i let you open your eyes, I need to say something."
I tilted my head, as if to give him motive to continue. "Haley, before the game tonight, I thought about how after, I spend time with you and then go home and dream about you, but then I realized that was ridiculous because I already was home. You feel like home, Haley. I'm safe, loved and protected when I'm with you. They say home is where the heart is and my heart is with you. What I'm trying to say here, Haley, is that I love you and I'm never going to stop."
I felt my eyes prick with tears. What he had said was beautiful and it warmed me body and soul. "Can I open my eyes now?" I choked out.
He tensed beside me. "Sure." His voice was soft and uneasy, like a deer ready to bolt.
I gasped, through my tear blurred eyes, I could see white Christmas lights surrounding the enitre rooftop, giving it a gentle glow. There white virgin candle lit along the wall and Luke's cd player was tcuked into the corner.
"You did all this for me?" I turned to him and he nodded his head sheepishly. He gaze directed at the ground. I could tell he was mentally beating himself up and I wouldn't prolong his agony any longer. "Luke, look at me."
Slowly, he raised his deep blue eyes to mine. "I love you too. I won't stop either." His expression changed from that of apprehension to joy in a matter of seconds as my words dawned on him. "You are my home, Lucas."
He wasted no time in smothering my lips with his own. He sucked greedily on my bottom lip, before deepening the kiss and filling my mouth with unsurpressed passion. We only pulled back when breathing became an issue.
He lifted my hand to his rapidly beating heart. "See what you do to me." He leaned his forehead against mine. "I want this, Hales. I want us."
I pulled his hand to my own thundering heart. "I know, so do I."
"Can I ask you a question?" He breathed, caressing my face with his thumb.
"Anything." I whispered back.
"Dance with me?" His arm imediately went around my waist and he picked up a remote in his other hand and started the cd player, the soft sounds of my favorite song filled my ears. Lucas wrapped both arms around my waist and pulled me close. I wrapped my arms around him and rested my head against his heart. We begen to sway to the music.

(Something in your eyes)

(makes me wanna lose myself)

(Makes wanna lose myself, in your arms)

(there's something in your voice)

(makes my heart beat fast)

(hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life)

(and if you knew, how lonely my life has been)

(and how long, I've been, so alone)

(and if you knew how I wanted someone to come along)

(and change my life the way you've done)

(It feels like home to me)

(It feels like home to me)

(It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from)

(It feels like home to me)

(It feels like home to me)

(It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong)

(a window breaks down a long dark street)

(and a siren wails, in the night)

(but I'm alright, cause I have you here with me)

(and I can almost see)

(through the dark there is light)

(and if you knew how much this moment means to me)

(and how long, I've waited for your touch)

(and if you knew how happy you are making me)

(I never thought I'd love anyone so much)

It feels like home to me)

(It feels like home to me)

(It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from)

(It feels like home to me)

(It feels like home to me)

(It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong)

(It feels like I'm all the way back, where I, belong)

The song ended and I found myself drowning in those deep blue eyes. I knew at that moment, Haley James, had finally come home.

THE END!
