Thanks for the reviews! I'm open to suggestions! Please continue to review!
Lucas pulled on his suit jacket as he got ready to take Haley out to dinner that same night and he looked in to the mirror. His hair was in his usual messy style and he looked the same as he usually did, but if you looked closely you could tell that there was something different about him. And he knew that Haley caused this change.
He didn't know exactly when it had begun, but that night when Haley came back, something changed. Now, he looks at her and he gets butterflies in his stomach because he can't help but notice how beautiful she is. When he goes to meet her somewhere, he gets excited at the thought of just being with her. He can't get her off his mind, and lately he has been the first and last thing that he thinks about in a day.
Lucas knew that he was in love with his best friend, his Haley. It was something that he had never felt with Peyton or Brooke. Sure, he had told Brooke that he loved her, but the more he thought about it, he knew that he really wasn't, he just thought he was. There was something else that Luke knew… he could not tell Haley how he felt.
Even if she felt even a part of what he felt for her, he still wouldn't tell her because of Nathan. 'She's still getting over Nathan,' He kept telling himself, 'So why can't I get over her?'
He left his house and drove over to Haley's house. As he walked to her door, he started to get nervous. 'What if she notices that something's changed?' All he could do was hope that wouldn't. He was about to ring the doorbell, but the door opened before he had a chance.
"Finally, you're here! I was getting so anxious to find out where you were taking me for dinner, I started to pace around my family room." She finished, looking at him smiling.
"Hi" He said simply, looking at her, "You look amazing." And she really did, her hair fell straight just past her shoulders and she wore a plunging neckline, red dress.
"Are you sure?" She asked curiously, "Am I dressed up too much?" She asked as she twirled around so her dress flared out.
Lucas just shook his head, "No, you look perfect." They looked deeply into one another's eyes, but Luke had to pull away before he did something stupid, "Well, we should go eat, I'm starved." She followed him to the car and got in.
They reached the restaurant and Haley started to laugh, as they got out of the car, "Karen's Café? This is where you're taking me to eat?"
"Yep… let's go… but I have to take you up on the roof." They walked inside and up to the roof where it was lit up, but this is not what Haley noticed, she noticed the mini-golf course that lie in front of them.
Haley gasped, as tears started to form in her eyes, "I thought you took the mini–golf course down after I left?"
"I did, but right after I visited you in New York, I still had a little hope that you might still come back. See I was pissed at you for leaving, but I finally realized that you didn't betray me by leaving; it was something that you had to do. So I rebuilt it and you came back, Hales." Lucas finished softly.
Haley wiped away her tears, "Thank you Luke. This is amazing." She smiled then walked towards the golf course and looked at it, " I'm definantly beating you!" She said as she turned to look back at him.
He smiled greatly at her, "Well we'll just see about that, but first let's eat."
"Ok, Let's go back downstairs."
"No, you didn't notice, but we're eating over there." He said pointing to a candle light table in the corner.
Haley squealed in delight as she walked over to the table, "Luke, you are way to good to me!" He pulled out her chair as she sat down and smiled gratefully towards him, "So what's the fancy meal for tonight."
"Well only the best meal in town." He grinned and lifted the pot.
"Mac and Cheese! That's my favorite food!" Haley squealed.
"I know." He served the meal and sat down as they began to eat.
15 minutes later, Haley leaned back in her chair and sighed, "Wow, I'm full."
"Yea, I know, you couldn't stop chowing down." He said.
"Shut up! You know that I…" She was interrupted when music started to play through the speakers, "Luke… what's that?"
"Umm, I think that it's called music, " He said sarcastically as he stood up and offered her his hand, "Dance with me."
Haley smiled and accepted his hand. He pulled her close; their bodies were pressed against each other. They were closer than they ever had been before as they danced slowly to the music.
Lucas looked down at Haley and whispered softly in her ear, "I'm so happy you're back, Haled."
She looked up and saw that his eyes were so full of emotion, "I am too, Luke."
It took all Luke had not to lean down and kiss her soft lips right there, but he knew that he couldn't.
If only he knew that she had to hold back from doing the exact same thing that he wanted to do too.
