Taking It Slow
Lucas and Haley stood there for the longest time, looking to each other's eyes. Neither of them knew what to do or what to say. But Lucas knew that this time, he'd have to be the rational one, he'd have to be the one to start talking. The problem was that… he was scared, he was scared of loosing Haley… his Hales… with the words that were going to come out of his mouth.
Haley was overwhelmed by all the thoughts that were crossing her mind. What did this mean. What was Luke feeling, what was she feeling. She didn't know what to say, and she didn't know if she was going to be able to speak first, to try and figure this out.
"Hales… uhm… I don't know where to start. This is so sudden to me, but at the same time, it's the result of the accumulation of tons of new feelings that I've been discovering lately. I can't promise you that this will work out, 'cause I can't guess the future. All I know is that I need to try and work it out, 'cause I feel that if we don't try, we'll regret it for the rest of our lives…" Lucas said, trying to make Haley understand what he was feeling.
Haley just stood there, she couldn't speak, she couldn't think. All she could do was stare at Lucas. When he said all those things, he had spoken with so much passion, that it made her feel the same passion within her.
"Hales… uhmm… what … do you think?" Lucas stuttered. He was so nervous, he couldn't even say a full sentence without stuttering.
Haley couldn't speak, but she knew that Lucas needed an answer. So she did all she could do at the moment. She threw her arms around his neck, and started kissing him, at first slowly, waiting for him to react. But as soon as he did, she kissed him more passionately, showing him how his words had affected her, how he had helped her discover all the feelings, all the passion that she had been hiding.
When they pulled away, just to get some air, they were glowing, their eyes were sparkling, and all they could do was stare at each other, both grinning madly.
"Hales, I know it's rather obvious by now what I want, but I'll ask you anyway: Hales, would you be my girlfriend?" Lucas spoke softly, his voice full of hope.
"Oh my god Luke, I'd love to!" Haley answered.
They kissed again and walked back home, ready to face the world together…
AN: first, sorry for the looooong time. School kept me from writing. And when school was over, I forgot I was writing. So I understand if you don't want to keep reading my story. But, I'll write anyway. FYI, I'm not going to consider all the new episodes. This story is going to follow it's own course, from the chapter I started writing (I don't remember which one, but Haley and Nathan weren't together yet).
