Chapter 2
The sun was brightly shining that Sunday morning. It deftly peeped through the blinds in Haley's room waking her from her slumber. Yawning while stretching her arms she was surprised to see Lucas beside her, sleeping like a baby. She silently shifted so she can see Lucas' face. In this position she can closely see his tousled blonde hair and his soft, kissable lips…
"Stop it Haley James! You're on the road to getting your heartbroken" she whispered while turning her back on the sleeping Lucas and pulling her t-shirt above her head.
"Hmmmm…this surely is a nice Sunday morning don't you think Hales?"
Startled, Haley turned around to see Lucas with a grin on his face. Realizing as to why her friend was grinning she immediately snatched a blanket on the bed.
"Luke! You really shouldn't scare people early this morning especially if you sneaked in their room at what time of the night, God only knows"
Lying on his side Lucas just smiled up to Haley knowing that this would irritate her even more.
"Fine! Smile all day and lie in MY bed" Flinging her hands up in the air, momentarily forgetting the blanket that she held to her body.
"oh" Haley squealed trying in vain to catch the falling blanket
"Come on Haley, I've seen you with less clothing on" Lucas smirked while looking up and down the disgruntled girl's body. "I must say that you've grown a lot since I last saw you…" he said meaningfully
"So you don't want to talk about last night huh? That's okay." Feeling defeated she went directly to her bathroom and bolted it.
"Haley, I'm sorry for sneaking in your room. I needed you last night but you looked so tired so I decided to just sleep my problems away" mumbling his apologies to the door Lucas could only hope that Haley was listening. After a few minutes of waiting for any response from her, he let out a frustrated let out a frustrated sigh and decided to just to wait.
After an hour….
Feeling refreshed and relaxed, Haley opened her door hoping that Lucas already left her room.
"Geez Luke put some shirt on will you?"
"I need to talk to you" Lucas said tiredly. His eyes had dark circles around it and he looked really wasted.
"I thought you slept your problems away last night rather than talk to me or tell me when I asked you this morning" she snapped.
"So now its my fault that I was thoughtful enough not to wake you?!?! Unbelievable Hales….just unbelievable!" Looking around the room, he searched for his shirt still unable to understand why Haley was such a btch that morning. Finally he found it and put it on him. Walking straight to the door he suddenly felt a hand brush his arms.
"I'm sorry… I've been really tired and I can see you are too. I'm sorry; you know how cranky I am in the morning" she said hugging him and softly kissed his cheek.
Lucas seemed uncomfortable and pulled away from her. Feeling rejected, she sighed and sat down on the chair near her computer.
"So Luke, spill. What happened now? Did Brooke do something last night or is it Peyton this time?"
"Well.. Last night after playing basketball Brooke asked me to come over her house" he put his hands in his pockets to stop them from shaking.
"Come on… I told you I'm fine with the whole Brooke thing…go on" she encouragedly said. Knowing that what she was about to hear would probably break her heart into a million pieces.
"Brooke became really aggressive. She was on me, I didn't even know what was happening" Appearing frustrated he started to pace the room still unaware of Haley's unshed tears.
"Do you really need to tell me all this? " sighing Haley looked down hoping that the tear that slid down her face would remain unnoticed.
"Yes, because this involves you too."
Carefully wiping her tears and mentally kicking herself for even thinking that she could go through this whole conversation unscathed.
"Why does it involve me?"
"Last night, I was ready to do it with Brooke. Okay before you ballistic on me and lecture me on not waiting first, we didn't do it." Taking in a deep breath, he waited to hear what she was going to say.
"Why?" dazed and confused Haley looked directly in his eyes.
"Because while I was with her I kept thinking of you."
