I can never say thank you enough to those of you who leave me comments.
The last chapter is the one after this. I already have it written so the
sooner you hit that little review button, the sooner I will have the last
chapter up. =P
Ch. 16 Alive
It had been six months since Haley and Lucas had their first date. They decided to have a simple celebration of their anniversary by spending the day preparing a meal from scratch, which consisted of spaghetti, garlic bread and chocolate chip cookies and watching a movie.
Time
Goes slowly no, in my life
Fear, no more, of what, I'm not sure
Searching to feel your soul,
The strength to stand alone
The power of not knowing, and letting go.
"You know you're suppose to save the cookies for dessert," Lucas stated matter-of-factly with a wide grin on his face.
"And what, miss out the chance to eat it when it's fresh out of the oven," Haley mumbled as she took a large bite out of the warm cookie. "Hmm...yummy. I love it when the chocolate chips melts in your mouth when you take a bite of it."
"You've got a point there," Lucas replied, grabbing a cookie from the tray in front of Haley.
Haley smacked his hands and then pushed the tray out of his grasp.
"HEY!" he exclaimed, as he once again tried to grab a cookie unsuccessfully. Haley was too quick for him. She placed herself between Lucas and the delicious morsels. "How is it fair that you get to eat them and I don't?"
"Because we want to save the cookies for dessert remember." Haley smiled slyly at her use of the statement her boyfriend used earlier. Lucas loved it when she referred to him as his boyfriend.
I guess I've found my way
It's simple when it's right
Feeling lucky just be here, tonight
And happy, Just to be me,
And be...Alive
"Yeah...dessert," he moved towards Haley, who prepared herself for another battle of the cookies.
Instead of making a comment about the cookies that Haley expected him to make, he returned the sly smile that Haley shown earlier. "Speaking of which..." he trailed off before brushing his lips against Haley's. "Delicious, but it could use a little bit more sugar," he teased after breaking away from the kiss.
Love
In and out, of my, my heart
And though life can be strange, I can't be afraid
Searching to feel your soul,
The strength to stand alone,
The power of not knowing and letting go.
Haley swatted him on his arm before leaning in for another kiss. "Thanks for the kiss, but I was talking about the reminisce of the cookie on your mouth," Lucas replied coyly. "I figured if I can't have a whole cookie, at least I can get a taste of it before we eat dinner."
Haley feigned hurt. "And here I thought you wanted to kiss me, not taste my mouth for your own evil demise."
"The truth hurts babe." Lucas smiled from ear to ear.
"Well in that case, I think that you are here on out prohibited from tasting my lips for the rest of the night," Haley relished as she saw a frown appear on his face.
Lucas continued to "sulk" throughout the rest of the time they spent preparing dinner, but Haley knew him to well to buy it. "Don't try to pretend you're sad, when you're not."
When they finally finished preparing dinner, they went into Lucas' kitchen to eat their wonderful meal. After enjoying one's another company and conversation at the dinner table, they placed the dishes in the sink and walked into the living room.
"So what movie should we watch?" Lucas asked, taking out the movies that Haley rented.
"I'm in the mood for Anne of Green Gables or A Walk to Remember." Haley couldn't help but laugh when Lucas moaned in protest.
"Argh...I knew I should have gone with you when you picked out the movie."
"And endure a night watching 'macho' movies," Haley argued. "I think not."
"Well please tell me you brought more movies than just chick flicks," pouted Lucas, his eyes begging Hales to relinquish any movies she might be hiding.
"Oh, you mean something like Fight Club." Haley pulled it out from underneath a cushion from the couch.
"Thank God! You scared me there for a minute."
"All part of my master plan. Speaking of plans, when is your mother coming home from the conference Deb dragged her to?"
"In two days," replied Lucas. At the mention of Deb's name, Lucas and Haley thought about Nathan and Peyton. Fortunately for both Nathan and Peyton, they found a companion in one another and began rebuilding their friendship/relationship. They were taking their time figuring out their feelings for one another.
"I'm glad that they have one another," Haley expressed her thought.
I guess I've found my way
It's simple when it's right.
Feeling lucky just to be here, tonight
And happy, just to be me,
And be...Alive
"Yeah," replied Lucas. Although Lucas and Nathan still didn't talk, they were not hostile towards one another, which surprised both Lucas and Haley. Lucas was snapped back into reality when he saw the opening scene for A Walk to Remember play.
"Who said that I wanted to watch this sappy chick flick?" Lucas grumbled, obviously reprimanding himself for not watching his girlfriend closely enough.
"It's either this or Anne of Green Gables," Haley left him with little choice. "I figured you'd rather wait on watching a movie that is over three hours long."
Seeing that there was no winning in this situation, he relented. 'At least I don't have to endure three hours of pain' thought Lucas.
"I heard that," Haley revealed.
"I didn't say anything."
"You didn't have to."
Lucas nodded his head in agreement as he sat next to Haley on the couch. The connection he shared with Haley was special. They could tell how the other felt or what they thought just by looking into the other person's eyes or reading his or her body language.
I guess I've found my way
