Brooke glanced up when the tinkle of the door bell rang and squealed.

"Lucas! Oh my gosh, I was just about to think you were dead! What's taken you so long?" She put down her drink and trotted over to him.

"Nothing, babe, me and Haley were just reminiscing, and we sorta lost track of time. No worries though, I'm here now." He cuddled her and snuggled her, all to the gagging dismay of Haley.

"Hey, you guys? I don't think my customers want to throw up their breakfasts, especially after they already paid for them." She grabbed her apron off the hook, and tied it expertly. "So if you don't mind, please take you PDA elsewhere."

"Jeez, what crawled up your ass this morning? I can't help but love my Lucas! Come on, honey. If she doesn't want us here, we can go make out at my house." She laced her fingers with his and started to the door.

Lucas grinned, then looked at Haley. She was "chocking" at Brooke's scandalous remarks and cleaning the coffee pots. He let go of Brooke's hand and walked over to Haley.

"You don't have a problem with me leaving, do you Hales?"

He had the cutest concerned face that God could have created. How had she willed herself not to kiss those lips, touch those cheeks, gaze into those eyes..

"Haley? You in there?"

"Yea. Sorry, I was… thinking. Just go ahead and go. I'm sure I can make up an excuse for Karen. Go have fun, make out, get an STD… whatever you horny Tree Hill elites do these days."

He laughed. "Whatever you say, charmer girl. See you later, and stay out of trouble."

"Love you, go away." She turned back to cleaning the coffee pots.

"Gone!" He walked back to Brooke and re-laced their fingers. He kissed her quickly on the lips, and they walked out.

"Haley, was that my son walking out of this café with possibly the biggest slut in Tree Hill?" Karen had suddenly popped up behind her.

"Yes it was Ms. Scott. And that's probably the last time we ever saw him a virgin." She knew that this would freak Karen out, but she didn't care.

"Haley James! What kind of attitude is that? I mean, really, Lucas knows better than to jump into bed with the first girl he starts dating," Karen said. She sounded as if she was trying more to convince herself of this than Haley.

"Ok Karen, you know Lucas better than anyone else, right? So if he is your son, seeing as you raised him, I think he does know better than that." Haley was sulking in her head. She knew that if she wanted Lucas, he chance had come and gone. Brooke had worked her magic on him, and he was totally different now.

A few hours later, after sweeping, moping, waxing the floor, she walked into Karen's office.

"Hey, Kare? Can I leave now? I have to tutor somebody and I'm supposed to meet him in 15 minutes at the dock."

"Sure, but I better not find out that you were doing the hanky panky with this kid. Who is he anyway?" Karen was acting like her mother. Again.

"No one you know Kare. I'll see you tomorrow," and with that, she walked out.

Haley got into her car, still thinking about Brooke and Lucas. Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Scott. Mrs. Haley Scott. The Scott Family. Lucas, Haley, two kids, a dog, a big house in the suburbs of Tree Hill… she could almost smell the freshly cut grass.

Haley continued driving until she got to the Scott's house. But it wasn't the Scott she knew and loved, it was the other Scott. The popular, lethal, and unfortunately, for Haley,

The impossible to resist Scott.

A/N: OK, I'm leaving for summer VayKay (lol) tomorrow, and I will try to update throughtout the summer. I'll probably be able to crank out a new chapter every 2 weeks? Sorry for the wait. Keep R & R ing.
