Morning came to soon for Haley James. Laying in Brookes arm's proved to be some kind of heaven, every care she had suddenly vanished the moment they were wrapped around her. Soon after Lucas left they had fallen asleep, and that nasty alarm clock had once again ruined everything.
"Good Morning baby" Brooke said softly, kissing Haley on the cheek, "did you sleep well?"
"Best I have in a long time" Haley responded with a smile, "Cant we just go back to sleep" she said with a smile, rolling over to face Brooke, "School's not that important"
Brooke grinned at the girl beside her, "Ms. James, I do believe that if you miss another full day you may not graduate" she bent down and kissed her lips lightly. And how will I make it through college without you to kiss? Whoa, Davis, slow down!
"Fine! Fine!" Haley grinned back at Brooke before placing soft kisses down Brookes neck, smiling as she felt Brookes heart beat quicken.
"Don't even think that that will get you out of school little missy" Brooke finally said, pushing Haley away from slightly, giving her one more kiss before getting up to get changed.
"So…" Haley called as Brooke changed and she did her hair, "What are we doing about Luke? I mean, technically…he doesn't know where together" Haley rationalized.
"You want to lie to him?" Brooke asked as she changed her shirt, "I never thought lying to him was your thing…but, more importantly…" she turned to face Haley, a half smile appearing on her lips, "I don't want to lie about us."
Haley smiled back at her girlfriend, putting the brush down and walking over to her, "Don't you think this is all going a little fast?" she asked softly, taking Brookes hands in hers, "I mean, it seems like just yesterday we were just roomies…and now were…an us. And that's great…I mean, I've wanted it for a while…I don't know Brooke, I'm babbling…I just think this is all happening so fast"
"I know it is baby" Brooke said, planting a reassuring kiss on Haley's Forehead. "I cant explain it, but I know that this was meant to happen…and if it was supposed to happen this fast? So be it…at least now they'll know from the beginning…No secrets, no lies. Just us" Where did that come from?
Haley had to smile, she didn't know when Brooke changed from the sarcastic cheerleader to the girl standing in front of her now, but she wasn't complaining. Defiantly not complaining.
After they had both gotten ready, Haley kissed Brooke softly and they made there way to school in a comfortable silence, both preparing for whatever that day may have in store for them.
"Ready?" Brooke asked as she turned off the ignition and looked around the campus of tree hill high.
"As I'll ever be." Haley said, giving into the cliché answer just this once. Here goes nothing…
To Haley's surprise a strange calm came over her as she closed the car door and watched as Brooke sauntered over to take her place at her side.
"Its all going to be okay" Brooke said softly to her as she reached out and grabbed Haley's hand in hers. If they were going to do this, they were going to go all out. Here goes everything…
"For once in my life" she said with a smile "I believe that."
Brooke let out a breathe she didn't know she was holding before nodding at her girlfriend and walking towards the double doors she had so recently burst out of to find Haley in the first place.
She couldn't place the stares at first, were they anger? Jealousy? Shock? Confusion? Its hard to tell with the eyes darting so quickly from their faces to their interlocked hands.
"Feeling the love yet?" Haley mumbled with a smirk which quickly widened when she heard a small chuckle from her other half.
"I got all the love I need" Brooke replied, squeezing Haley's hand deeply. Where did that come from? Your going soft Davis!
"Round one." Haley stated flatly.
"What?" Brookes eyes followed Haley's to see Lucas walking down the hall towards them.
"Hey Lu-" Haley began, letting her words fade away as he walked right by pair, but not before sending Haley a look that defiantly killed something inside of her. Then beat it.
"Give him time." Brooke said quickly, seeing the quick deterioration of her girlfriends disposition at one look from what was her best friend. "Please Baby, don't look so defeated…" Brooke pleaded with her, giving her a small kiss, ignoring the stares and some yells from the other students. Haley looked back up at Brooke before nodding at her and nuzzling her nose against Brooke's. "That's my girl" Brooke said softly.
"Yes I am." Haley said with a smile.
"Well…isn't that interesting" said a harsh voice came from behind.
Brooke and Haley both turned, even though Haley knew the voice long before she saw the face.
"Hey Nathan."
