Chapter 2: Part 4-Together Again
That night, Lucas and Haley met on the roof of Karen's café. It was their special place where they played miniature golf, had balloon fights, and really talked in private when they need to do so. No one touched it. It was their place and their place only.
"Hey stranger," Lucas greeted her as she came onto the roof where he was waiting.
"No stranger than you," Haley said back to him, using the line he once gave her. Lucas smiled.
"So, did you talk to Brooke and Peyton?" Haley asked Lucas, approaching him as he did the same.
"Yeah, did you talk to Nathan?" Lucas asked, reaching her as they stood close to one another.
"Yeah, how did your conversation turn out?" Haley asked.
"Not great, but they understand," Lucas told her. "How about yours?"
"Probably not as good as yours but Nathan will get through it eventually," Haley told him.
"Yeah, I bet he'll be really pissed at me for "stealing" you away," Lucas remarked to her.
"Yeah, well, he'll get over it. Besides, I was kind of in love with you to begin with," Haley said to him.
"Well, I was kind of in love with you, too," Lucas said, the feelings mutual.
They both shortly laughed. They were in love. It was so Dawson and Joey and they knew it but it didn't matter anymore. They couldn't help how they felt about each other. It was undeniable.
"So what now?" Lucas asked her, slipping his arms around her waist.
"What do you mean, what now?" Haley asked him, putting her arms around his neck.
"Isn't it obvious?" Lucas asked her as he tilted his face towards hers and leaned down to kiss her. His lips crashed upon hers in a passionate kiss and they stood there with their arms around each other, lost in the moment. Yes, life was much simpler when it was just Lucas and Haley.
