January was now here as Lucas was moving in with Logan who had went and asked the Dean of housing if it was okay which he said yes to Logan. It took Lucas and Rory a few days to move his things in and they were now on his bed.
"So when do you start at the clinic?"
"Monday, I have to wear dress cloths." She laughed at him he hated to wear dress cloths.
"So you have to wear them to the clinic, and then at every game?"
"Yep I hate wearing them." He looked over at the clock and saw it was time to drive to Storrs. "I have to go practice."
"Want me to come with you?"
"No I will be fine, you have to study." He kissed her but she wrapped her arms around his neck. He was the first to break the kiss and put his forehead on hers. "I really have to go Rory."
"When was the last time we were alone?"
"Way to long." He kissed her again before standing up. "Since I have nothing tomorrow way don't we go to a party."
"Are you allowed?" She was in her knees and grabbed his belt loop.
"As long as I don't drink I will be fine." He kissed her again before walking out the bedroom door as she fell down on his bed.
Lucas was shooting before practice as the coaches walked into the gym and blow the whistle. The players ran over to them and stood around them.
"Okay guys we have not played our best this year. If you want to win it all this year, we need to step it up these last three months. We are going to change it up for this practice Scott were moving you to the four and Adrian you will be in the number two." Lucas walked over to Adrian and they started to talk to each other.
Lucas walked into his room and saw that Rory was still on his bed reading a book. He sat down beside her and closed his eyes.
"Tired?" She had her hand in his hair and he nodded. "I need to get going back to my room, get some sleep." She kissed his forehead and tries to get off the bed, but he grabbed her wrist.
"Stay here tonight."
"I should get back to my room."
"Rory we haven't slept in the same bed for about a month, stay here with me." She nodded before grabbing clothes to sleep in and changing right in front of him. Lucas never took his eyes off her, which made her smile. "If I wasn't so damn tired right now." She kissed him and pulled his shirt off, Lucas finished getting undressed and the two of them fill asleep as Lucas had his arm around her.
Rory woke up and moved from under Lucas. She walked out and saw Finn was sleeping, the door opened and Logan walked inside holding coffees, which Rory gladly took from him.
"You spent all night?"
"Yea Lucas asked me to, you don't mind do you?"
"No this is his place too now."
"You're the best Logan."
"Tell me something I don't know."
"Well Lucas can so this thing that makes me." Logan covered his ears and turned away from Rory.
"I was joking Ace." She laughed before walking back to Lucas's room.
Lucas just woke up when Rory walked into the room. She sat his coffee down and lay back down beside him. He moved so he was on top of her and he kissed her. Rory moved her hands over his neck to deepen the kiss. Lucas pulled her shirt off and kissed her neck as she ran her hands up and down his chest.
Logan walked back into the living room and pushed Finn off the couch. He jumped up and had his hands up ready to punch someone.
"What the bloody hell."
"I wanted a place to sit."
"You have chairs every where mate."
"Yea but the couch is the best place to sit." Finn sat down beside him as they started to hear noises coming from Lucas's room looking at each other before busting up laugh. "I didn't know Reporter girl had it in her."
"Neither did I, she never sounded like that when we were together."
"Bloody hell she's going to wake up everyone." It got even louder as Logan and Finn laughed now. Logan turned the radio on to drown out the noises coming from the bedroom.
After almost an hour, Rory walked out of the room to the guys clapping. She really didn't care right now, so she took a bow.
"Damn Ace when did you get so loud?"
"It just took a real man."
"Ouch that hurt." He covered his chest with his hand as Lucas walked out of the room, and walked Rory to the door and kissed her.
"See you later." She nodded and kissed him again before walking down the hall. Lucas turned around and saw the guys looking at him.
"How is your hearing man?"
"Perfect I'm going to take a nap." Lucas smiled at them before walking into his room.
March
Lucas was in New York for the Big East Tournament and like last year, his Uconn Huskies were undefeated. After the first round bye, they were taking on West Virginia who was coming off a win against Notre Dame.
The game started and Uconn went on a twelve to zero run with Lucas scoring ten of the points. At half time Uconn was up by twenty-three points 53-30 with Lucas scoring twenty-nine points by himself. Lucas rested for most of the seconded half with the huge lead. The game ended with Uconn winning 105-65 and they were on to the semifinals with Lucas finishing the game with thirty-nine points.
The next afternoon Uconn was taking on Pittsburgh to face the winner of Syracuse and Villanova. Pitt was doubling teams Lucas all night not wanting him to bet them as he had West Virginia. At half time Uconn was leading by three 45-42 as Lucas only had five points, but he had thirteen assist and eight rebounds. The second half was all Lucas as Pitt went to a 2-2-1 zone defense (For those who don't know what that is you have two players up near the three-point line. Two near the foul line and one near the base line.) Lucas took full advantage of this and scored ten unanswered points. By the time, Pitt went back to man-to-man defense Lucas still wasn't missing shots. The game ended with Uconn winning 95-86 Lucas ended with thirty points twenty rebounds and twenty-three assist.
The final game of The Big East Tournament was Uconn against Syracuse a rematch of last years second round game. Rory and Logan were both here since they didn't have classes.
"Uconn's All American and defending Wooden and Naismith award winner Lucas Scott who took a hard foul yesterday and his right wrist which was injured earlier this season is causing him some pain."
The game was close, as Lucas had played every minute so far. The game tied with only ten seconds left. Uconn just called there last time out and they sat up a play that isolated Lucas on the left wing. "Lucas if they double you find the open man. Don't shot until there is five seconds on the clock. Remember if we miss, we get overtime. Hands in men."
Lucas walked onto the court and saw Rory had her hands against her chest looking like she was praying. He smiled and took a deep breath as the ref handed Nelson the ball. After a few picks were set, Lucas finally had the ball and his teammates cleared the way for him. Lucas dribbled the ball and drove the lane on the guy guarding him. When the defender moved a little bit more to his left Lucas moved back and put up a fade away jumper. The ball rolled around the rim and went in as the buzzer sounded. Lucas pumped his fist as the team ran over to him and picking him up. He saw Rory was hugging Logan as she looked down at him and he pointed to her. They had sat the stage up as the players put on the championship shirts and hats.
"On behalf of The Big East Conference we would like to congratulate The University of Connecticut Huskies. The M.V.P. of the 2006-2007 tournament is Lucas Scott." The fans clapped as Lucas walked up to the Big East commissioner and shook his hand.
"Lucas how is the wrist doing?"
"Nothing was really wrong with it; it was just a little sore when I woke up this morning."
"Heading back to the NCAA tournament, what are you thinking about?"
"Winning one more game and brining the championship back to Uconn." The fans cheered some as Lucas walked away from the interviewer and the coach got the championship trophy. Lucas walked over to where Rory was and hugged her.
"I want another shirt."
"You will have two so Lorelai doesn't kill me."
"What time are you getting out of here tonight?"
"I don't know I have to do some press before I can leave. Go ahead and go to the hotel and I will call you when I'm done." She nodded and kissed him again as Lucas walked into the back of the area.
April 2, 2007
After beating everyone in front of them the Huskies were back in the National title game, and like before taking on Nathan and Duke. Lucas and Nathan both had the number thirty- three on wristbands for there father. Karen was in the stands and this time she was wearing both Duke and Uconn clothes. Five month pregnant Haley was right beside Karen she was wearing a Duke sweater as was Peyton right beside her. Brooke was over with Logan and since she didn't go to Duke, she was wearing a number three Uconn jersey. Finally, Rory who was wearing her Husky sweater she was beside Logan and Brooke.
"Taking the floor is the unbeaten defending National Champion Duke Blue Devils lead by All American Nathan Scott. They are taking on the undefeated Uconn Huskies lead by the nations leading scorer, All American Lucas Scott."
The game was a fast pace game Lucas and Nathan matched each other shot for shot. At half time the score was tied 65-65. Lucas and Nathan both had thirty-three points. In the second half Duke came out scoring as the Huskies was a little flat on the offensive side of that ball. Duke had a twenty to nine run. Coming out of a timeout Lucas caught fire making four three pointers to take a one point lead. Nathan answered with a three of his own to give Duke a two-point lead. Coming down to the final minutes, Duke was holding onto a two-point lead. Nathan has score fifty-one points and Lucas has forty-nine. Lucas made a three giving Uconn a 106-105 lead. Neither team scored until Nathan made a three with only fifteen seconds left in the game Duke leading 108-106. Uconn called timeout and the coach had his clipboard.
"Okay here is the play we're going to run."
"Coach ran the same one from last year." He looked up at Lucas thinking about it.
"Okay Scott we'll do it." He put all seniors in except Lucas as Uconn walked onto the court. Nathan was guarding Lucas as the ref handed Nelson the ball.
"Fifteen seconds left and Uconn out of timeouts. Nelson to in bounded the ball to Gagne. Gagne moves to the top of the key as the time is down to ten seconds. Brown sits a pick on Nathan and Gagne passes it to Lucas. Lucas looks up at the clock and we are down to five. Lucas crosses over on his brother and shots a three, ands it good Uconn wins the National championship 109-108." Lucas hugged his brother and told him he was sorry just like Nathan did to him last year. They handed out the shirts and hats as the team walked up on the stage.
"What a game we would like to congratulate both teams for this great game. Right now I would like to ask for the tournament M.V.P. Lucas Scott to come up front." Lucas walked up beside the man. "Lucas scored an all time tournament high fifty-nine points. You had a great tournament congratulations Lucas."
"Thank you sir, I would like to devote this tournament and this season to my father." Lucas took a breath and wiped his eyes. "And to my mom for always being there for me and Nathan, and to my wife who has put up with me this whole season." Lucas lifted up the trophy as his teammates patted him on the back as he walked off the stage. He walked right into the stands and over to his mother and hugged her. Karen was crying onto his shoulder. Rory walked over to Lucas and he hugged and kissed her before walking back down to the court with his teammates.
