It had been 2 weeks since Haley had returned to Tree Hill, and though she still was upset about Nathan, there was something that was keeping her happy also. This something was Lucas. They had hung out everyday, all day… well at least when they were available, and Haley had loved every minute of it. And why wouldn't she? Luke was her best friend and they hadn't had any quality "Haley and Lucas" time for a while now. Even before she left, they still didn't as much of each other as they would of liked to. But now they could have as much of it as they wanted to.
Haley walked into Karen's Café expecting to see it pretty crowded since it was the busiest time of the day, but she saw that no one was in there.
"Uh… hello? Lucas?" She called out, but no one answered. She was just about to leave when Lucas called her.
"Hales? Didn't you see the sign on the door, it says "CLOSED"?" He asked her.
"Umm no," She responded as she sat down at the counter, looking up at him, "Why is it closed?"
" Well it was supposed to be a surprise, but I closed it down for the day so you could get the day off." He said smiling at her.
She smiled back, "And why, Lucas Scott, would you want to get me the day off," knowing full well what his answer was.
"Haley James, I know that you know," He walked around the counter, she spun her chair around to face him, "It's our official 12 year anniversary of becoming friends, don't tell me you forgot?" Luke asked, a hurt look on his face.
She laughed as she stood up in front of him, of course I remember! How could I forget, I just didn't say anything because I wanted to see if you would remember! Now, tell me, what does this eventful day have in store?" she asked smirking at him.
"Uh uh uh," he said pointing a finger at him, "You, my dear friend are way to curious, you always have been and I'm afraid that you always will be. You'll just have to wait and see, I've planned the whole day out, so we better get going." He said turning around reaching for his coat, " This day is dedicated to you, because you are my best friend, and I would do anything for you." He said smiling, but stopped when he saw the look in her face, "Hales, what's wrong?"
She looked into his eyes, "Nothing Luke, everything is perfect, you're perfect. I can't believe that you're doing all of this for me." She smiled and kissed him on the check, "You're the best friend every girl dreams of." She walked past him and out the door.
Luke took a deep breath. There it was again, best friend, that's what they were, nothing more. He pulled on his coat, trying to block out the thought that kept nagging him. I officially have fallen for my best friend, my Haley. This can't be happening, I know that she'll never feel that way for me….
Sorry it took so long to update! Been busy! But now I'm back on track and ready to write!
