You Can Come To Me

Chapter 3

When I've got you in my arms
Say it's where you want to be
'Cause girl I'm down on my knees
Promising my heart, oh my heart

It had been a month and a half, nearly two months, since Haley had come back to Tree Hill. Things had returned to normal, at least for Haley and Lucas. It was just them two again, Luke and Hales, them against the world. They had mended their broken friendship while Lucas helped her through her grief over Nathan. They had rebuilt the miniature golf course up on the roof and resumed their Friday night movie marathons. Which was what they were doing now. They were curled up together on Luke's couch as they watched Win A Date With Tad Hamilton for what seemed like the hundredth time. He always acted like he hated the movie, because it was a girly chick flick, but he actually liked it because in the end, the best friend got the girl. And it did seem to apply to their situation. Haley had fallen for Nathan, the big shot, bad boy basketball star then Chris, the bad boy rock star. He shook his head slightly. She would never choose him. It was always the good girls who chose the bad guys, not the good girls choosing the good guys. He didn't stand a chance.

Yet despite the sadness washing over him, he still held her in his arms, not wanting to let her go. Letting her go would mean that she would move on, find another person to love, and probably have her heart broken again. The bad boys were always that way. And he didn't know if he could stand to see it broken a third time. So he just held her comfortably in his arms, her own arms wrapped around his torso and her head resting against his chest, the smell of her shampoo intoxicating his senses.

"I never want to leave your arms. They make me feel so safe. Never stop holding me Luke," she whispered as she pulled him tighter to her. "I'll hold you forever, Hales, always and forever," he vowed to her.

Let me be the one
Telling you it's alright
Sharin' the smiles and tears you cry
Let me be the one
Lovin' you when you're weak
For all the strength you need
You can come to me

She looked up to smile at him and found her lips just centimeters away from his. Haley licked her lips in anticipation, wondering if she should just take the plunge and kiss him. Lucas got to it first. He slowly leaned his head down and brushed her lips with his own tentatively, hoping she wouldn't resist him. She didn't. She placed one hand on his cheek as she pulled his face closer to deepen the kiss. Slowly, they gave each other's tongues access to their mouths as they still continued to kiss slowly, tasting and exploring each other as Lucas stroked her hair and Haley ran her hand up and down his back. When they finally parted for air, Lucas gently pressed his forehead against hers. "I'll never stop holding you, Hales, and I'll never stop loving you," he whispered into her hair as he hugged her. She smiled as she brushed her hand over the side of his head, kissing his cheek softly, "I love you too."
