Ch. 17 Greatest Story Ever Told
He couldn't help but have a dorky smile on his face whenever he was near her; especially when he saw her wearing the bracelet he gave her. Each charm he presented to her on various days represented special places, moments and/or feelings they shared. Although many people perceived a bracelet as just a piece of jewelry, to Lucas it meant much more. It expressed and symbolized his feelings for the one he loved.
As the ending credit rolled, Haley continued to rest her head on Lucas' lap as Lucas unconsciously ran his fingers through her hair. Lucas looked down lovingly at his best friend.
Thank you for this moment.
I've got to say how beautiful you are.
Of all the hopes and dreams I could have prayed for,
Here you are.
"Ahhhh...that feels great Jacob," Haley purred.
"What did you just call me?" questioned Lucas with jealousy present in his voice.
"I called you Lucas," Haley fibbed.
"Who's this Jacob fellow?" Lucas said in a strained, jealous voice.
"No one. Just a random guy I met at our high school graduation," Haley said as she sat up. "I didn't even know he went to our school until I literally ran into him as I was walking towards my family."
"I see," was all Lucas could mutter. 'Where was I when that happened?' thought Lucas.
Haley wasn't able to keep a straight face on for long. She tried to turn away from Lucas when a smile slowly formed on her face, but he caught on. 'Damn she's good' thought Lucas as he shook his head. It should have been obvious to him that she was kidding around. Haley saw the light go off in Lucas' eyes. She quickly stood up from the couch, preparing herself for the possible repercussion of her white lie. Seeing Lucas lunge towards her, she ran passed him, heading towards his bedroom. Unfortunately for Haley, she wasn't fast enough. Lucas quickly caught up to her as she was about to close and lock his bedroom door. Backing up to the other end of the room, Haley was left with no way out.
"So you actually thought you can get away with making me jealous and not face any consequences?" asked Lucas with a gleam in his crystal clear eyes.
"Umm...yeah." Haley replied with a smug grin.
"Wrong answer." Lucas slowly moved towards Haley, which made her even more nervous.
"Luke...please don't!" Haley squealed, she couldn't help but let out a giddy laugh for some unknown reason.
"Don't what?" With one rapid movement, he gently tackled Haley onto the bed. She fell back on the bed with Lucas above her; one leg on each side of her.
If I could have one dance forever,
I would take you by the hand.
Tonight it's you and I together.
I'm so glad I'm your man.
Realizing their current position and close proximity, they locked eyes. Leaning down towards her, he whispers, "I love you."
"I love you too."
And if I lived a thousand years, You know I never could explain,
The way I lost my heart to you that day.
But if destiny decided I should look the other way,
Then the world would never know The greatest story ever told.
And did I tell you that I love you tonight?
Haley unconsciously licked her lips and parted her lips slightly. Lucas took this as an invitation and softly brushed his lips against her. Breaking away from the kiss momentarily, Haley began unbuttoning Lucas' shirt and pulled it off.
"Are you sure," asked Lucas, not wanting to rush into doing something Haley wasn't ready for. She nodded her head as they continued to take off the garments that were separating them and planted kisses on the other person. The kisses were sweet and sensual at first, but grew more passionate as they explored each other's body.
I don't hear the music,
When I'm looking in your eyes.
But I feel the rhythm of your body,
Close to mine.
---------------------------------------------------
The light seeping through the window caused Lucas to wake up. Starring at his soul mate resting her head on his chest, he tucked away this moment in his mental file, as he brushed the back of his hand on the angelic face. Feeling the soft touch on her cheek, Haley took his hand in hers and kissed it. She lifted her head so she could rest her chin on his bare chest and gaze at him.
It's the way we touch that sends me,
It's the way we'll always be,
Your kiss, Your pretty smile
You know I'd die for.
Oh baby, you're all I need.
"How was your sleep?" asked Haley.
"Mmmm...Wonderful. You?"
"Never better."
"Do you know how breathtakingly beautiful you are!" he stated rhetorically.
And if I lived a thousand years, you know
I never could explain,
The way I lost my heart to you that day.
But if destiny decided I should look the other way,
Then the world would never know The greatest story ever told.
And did I tell you that I love you?
Just how much I really need you?
Haley's face turned scarlet as she adverted her eyes. Each time she thought she couldn't love Lucas more than she already did, he proved her wrong. She was glad that she waited for the right person.
"What are you thinking about?" Lucas asked when he noticed Haley was lost in her own thoughts.
"About how glad I am that I waited to spend a special night with the perfect person," Haley conveyed honestly.
Did I tell you that I love you, tonight?
Tonight....
Lucas was slightly taken back by this revelation. He assumed that her first was with Nathan. He was honored and humbled by the knowledge that she waited for him.
Reading Lucas' mind, Haley explained, "Although I thought I was in love with Nathan when I was with him, something always held me back from...you know." Lucas shook his head, encouraging her to continue.
"I hinted to him that I wanted to wait to share the moment with my future husband. I guess that deep down, I always knew that I wanted my first and only experience to be with you. I would constantly dream amount our wedding and...." Haley trailed off, blushing uncontrollably.
"I'm glad because you're my past, present and future."
And if I lived a thousand years, you know
I never could explain,
The way I lost my heart to you that day.
But if destiny decided I should look the other way,
Then the world would never know The greatest story ever told.
And did I tell you that I love you?
Just how much I really need you?
Lucas kissed Haley on the forehead upon hearing this and then added, "I'm sorry."
"For what?" Haley asked, confused by his apology.
"For not making your first experience as memorable as it should have been. I would have been more delicate if I knew..."
"It was PERFECTION. I wouldn't have changed anything. And believe me, you were, as you put it, delicate."
"Well I still think I should show how your first time should be." Lucas expressed honestly, truly wanting to make the moment unforgettable.
"Well what are you waiting for?"
Did I tell you that I love you tonight?
