Thanks to thetroublew/loveisi'm2lostinU, Hive Malkavian, Agel15, and Hallowed Soul for leaving me feedback on the last chapter! It is much appreciated!

The NC-17 version of the last chapter will be written as soon as I can find the time. In fact, I could probably make an NC-17 version for all the chapters but I think the last chapter would work best with NC-17 so if you still are interested in it, let me know.

The next chapter I have written is the kiss scene from "To Wish Impossible Things." After that, I'm open to more suggestions so send them to me in the reviews.

Feel free to IM me on AIM/AOL at DustyStars15 so I can give you my website address if you don't have it already. Thanks for all the feedback and reminders! I've enjoyed talking to those of you who have IMed me on AIM/AOL.

Chapter 7

Lucas returning Haley's hat (the end scene) in Episode #104 titled "Crash into You"

"You left that in Peyton's car," Lucas told Haley, hurt she wasn't being honest with him. He knew she had been with Nathan and that made him very angry. He walked out of the café with a thoughtful Haley looking behind him. Haley knew she had to make the confession. She had to be honest with him. She ran out of the café doors after he had left. She ran up to him as he was walking down the street.

"Lucas, wait!" Haley shouted after him.

Lucas turned around to face her. "What, Haley? Do you want to tell me that you were with Nathan? Huh? Is that it? Don't bother, I already figured that out. I love that we are so honest with each other," he threw the words back at her.

"Lucas, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. Nathan just gave me a ride home. That's all. Besides, I'm just tutoring him. That's it," Haley confessed.

"And the truth comes out. Well, it looks like more than tutoring to me, Hales. You take his side, you tutor him, and you let him drive you home. He's getting closer to you and I don't like it," Lucas said bitterly.

"It's not like that. I promise. I couldn't do anything more. I don't want to hurt you, Luke," Haley told him.

"It's too late for that, Hales. You already did," Lucas said, and started walking away from her.

"No, Lucas, wait," Haley exclaimed, stopping him as she reached out her arm to turn him to face her again. "Don't walk away from me! Why do you feel so strongly about this?"

"I want to protect you. Nathan only makes it harder for me to do that. Besides, I don't like him, Haley. He's a bad guy. I don't like you tutoring him," Lucas answered.

"I feel like there's something else you're not telling me. I get that you want to protect me and I appreciate that, but you're acting like you're…" Haley trailed off. She couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Jealous, I know," Lucas finished for her. "Did you ever think that was because I am, Haley? The thought of another guy especially Nathan being close to you just makes me want to be with you even more. I hate the thought of another guy touching you, wanting to be with you, kissing you. I want to be that guy," he confessed.

Haley was speechless, but she didn't have much time to process his words because his lips were soon pressed against hers. He was kissing her. A moment later, the kiss was over and Haley found herself jumping up into his arms, kissing him back. Their kiss was sweet and tender, so loving. Moments later, they softly broke apart, breathing fresh air and looking at each other.

"I want you to be that guy, too," Haley admitted, smiling.

"Don't let Nathan get in the way of that then or I just might have to kill him," Lucas told her, half joking as he smiled.

"Not a chance in hell," Haley responded.

They kissed again and again, never wanting to stop. They wanted to stay in their own world. It was Lucas and Haley, and no one else. Their world was simply incredible.
