After the kiss, Alyssa looked at her Beckham watch. It was almost her curfew. Alyssa apologized and gathered her ball and bag. Lucas asked when he would see her again. To Alyssa, from the moment she and Lucas had met eyes, she felt like she was in a movie.

"Tomorrow. Here. At 8pm." Alyssa replied.

When she got home, Shauna was asleep on their black leather couch in their huge living room. Alyssa woke Shauna up and told her everything. Shauna was a little disappointed at the time but was happy for Alyssa.

When Lucas came home, he had the biggest smile on his face. Karen, his mom, was awake. She had been a little worried. Lucas hugged his mom, told her not to worry so much, and walked away with his grin growing wider and wider every time he thought of his kiss with the most gorgeous girl he had ever met.

The next morning, the freshly kissed teens woke up with a huge smile. It was Saturday so there were two things to smile about

"Okay, who is she?" Karen asked, getting a little scared that her son had had a smile on his face since the night before.

"What?" Lucas said surprised. "Why would you ask something like that?" He took a sip of his coffee. His mom had her own coffee shop so it was nice to get good coffee at somewhere that was good. He left with his coffee and sat down. His best friend, Haley, would be in for work any minute.

"Okay, who is she?" Haley said as she entered the shop. His smile never faded.

"What?" Lucas said again. Trying to sound surprised. Just as he said that… she walked in.

"Oh, Luke, this is Alyssa. She's new." Haley said. Alyssa and Lucas's eyes widened. They couldn't believe that they would be actually be seeing each other again.

"Hi." Alyssa giggled.

"Hey." Lucas replied. Their eyes never left one another.

"So… Lyssa, tell me more about the guy that you met last night." Haley said as they sat down with Lucas.

"Well," Alyssa began, "he was cute, sweet, great at basketball, had blonde shaggy hair, pretty blue eyes, and was tall." Lucas cleared his throat wanting to know about the kiss.

"What about the kiss?" Haley asked. She was very curious.

"It was… unbelievable. I felt like I was floating." Alyssa's eyes still didn't leave Luke's.

"What about you, Luke?" Haley asked, already knowing something was up between him and the new girl. "What was she like?"

"She was beautiful. We played b-ball. She was actually good." Lucas saw the look on Alyssa's face. "Actually, she was better than good."

"Uh…huh…" Haley said with a look on her face. "What was her name?" Alyssa's eyes told Lucas not to tell till later.

"Um, I never got one."

"Uh…huh…" Haley looked at Alyssa. "What about you? Did you get a name?" Alyssa's eyes looked down at her nails.

"I don't remember. I was in a hurry to get to home." Alyssa replied. Haley couldn't help but try and get the truth out.

"Have you two met before?" At that question, the options were either lie to a friend or tell the truth.

"No." They said at the same time.

"Look at the time." Alyssa said suddenly. "I promised Shauna I'd come home after our walk so she could tell me something important." Alyssa started to leave.

"It was nice meeting you, Alyssa." Lucas said. "Hope to see you soon."

Alyssa smiled and replied, "Me too."

"Well, I have to get to work, Lucas." Haley said with an eyebrow raised.

"Yeah, I'm gonna meet up with some friends and shoot some hoops." He started to leave and then turned around and kissed his best friend's cheek.

"What was that for?" Haley asked, pretending to be in disgust.

"I'll tell you tomorrow, ok?"

When Luke exited the coffee shop, he saw Alyssa waiting just a few cars down. He walked towards her, but then a voice took the glory away.

"Hey Alyssa." It was Nathan Scott.

"Oh… Hey Nathan. What are you doing here?" Alyssa wanted to run into Luke's arms and go far, far away with him.

"We had a basketball game last night." Nathan saw her eyes go in his half-brother's direction. He stood in the way. Alyssa felt hands slide to her tiny waist.

"I didn't show up." Alyssa lied. "I had to fix some thing up for my dad." She lied again.

"Really?" Nathan said, raising an eyebrow. "So, how about tonight? You busy?" Luke heard his evil half-brother's plan. "Cause I'd love to take you to dinner, a movie, and maybe play you a little one-on-one."

"Actually Nathan," Alyssa had an idea. "I forgot to mention," she tried to think of an excuse. "The reason we moved here was for me to be closer to my…um…" Alyssa didn't know if she wanted to say boyfriend because she didn't exactly have one; but she said it anyways. "We came here so that I could be with my boyfriend." Luke's heart dropped to the middle of the earth's core. "If fact you might know him." Luke started to walk away. "His name is Lucas Scott." Luke stopped. Was she for real? Or was this just to get his brother away?

"Hey Lyssa." Luke turned around and played along.

"Hey Luke." She wasn't sure what to do now. Luke put his arms around his 'girlfriend'.

"Really?" Nathan raised an eyebrow. "When did you two meet?"

"Two months ago. At a party. Through Haley James." Luke replied.

"Really?" Nathan said again.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Alyssa said. She kissed Luke making it look as if she knew what she was doing. Luke smiled when they pulled apart.

"Ok…" Nathan walked away.
