Chapter 8

The Kiss Scene from "To Wish Impossible Things"

Haley was about to exit the car when she remembered something. The goodnight kiss. Lucas owed her a goodnight kiss. It was funny she used to think about kissing Lucas a lot, back when she had a crush on him, way before Nathan entered the picture. She had never confessed her crush to Lucas as she thought he would never feel the same way. 'Why would he?' She had thought. He had so many options-Peyton, Brooke, random girls. He could be with anyone he wanted. Why would he choose Haley? Haley was only his best friend, some may even say like a sister to him. Haley figured that was all he thought of her as, just that. So, now that she could kiss him, she wasn't sure what to think. She was so sure she was in love with Nathan now, but what did that matter? It was just a kiss, right?

"Oh, I almost forgot. You owe me a goodnight kiss," Haley mentioned to Lucas, turning to face him.

"Hmm…" Lucas muttered. A million thoughts flew through Lucas's mind. He had to admit to himself he had thought of Haley as more than a friend before. He had wondered what it would be like to kiss her. Even though he had been with Peyton and Brooke previously, the thought of possibly dating Haley had crossed his mind several times. It wasn't really possible now that she was dating and in love with Nathan. However, she did mention it and if she really didn't want to kiss him, why would she mention it? Then, again, maybe she was thinking of it as nothing, something to be taken lightly. And it was for charity anyway, so a kiss was just a kiss, right? "Rules are rules, I guess."

"Yeah, I guess so," Haley agreed. Both of them leaned towards one another and were about to kiss when Haley blurted out, "Here's the thing though. If your tongue comes anywhere near my mouth, I'm just never speaking to you again." Immediately after Haley blurted that out, she thought 'Why did I just say that? Why would Lucas do that anyway? He knows I'm with Nathan.' Then, she heard Lucas let out a soft chuckle and she knew she had nothing to worry about.

They both leaned in and finally kissed. Lucas and Haley had both leaned in, intending for the kiss to be quick and sweet, but were both surprised when both of them kissed each other longer than expected. Haley had decided she wanted a real kiss from Lucas while he wanted to give her a real kiss as well. Lucas could tell he was having more than friendly feelings for Haley and she was experiencing the same feelings as he was. After the kiss, they softly broke apart and shyly looked away from each other.

"I'm sorry," they both said at the same time and then looked back at each other.

"Um, was it just me or did we both really want to kiss each other?" Haley asked Lucas.

"It was both of us," Lucas admitted. "I know I really shouldn't have because you're with Nathan and now I feel really stupid."

"No, don't worry about it. I'm the one who feels really stupid," Haley told Lucas.

"I guess we both feel really stupid," Lucas concluded.

"Yeah…but does this mean what I think it means?" Haley asked him.

"I think so…we both like each other as more than friends," Lucas stated.

"Right," Haley murmured, nodding. "What do you think we should do?"

"I'm not sure, but I'd really like to kiss you again," Lucas admitted. He was yearning to feel her lips upon his again.

"Same here," Haley admitted back.

So, Lucas and Haley followed their hearts and they did what they both wanted to do. They softly kissed each other again and again. Haley was the first to have her tongue enter into the kiss, and Lucas was soon to follow her lead. The kisses became more and more passionate as the minutes passed. Both wanted to do so much more but knew they shouldn't. They ended the night breathless from kissing with smiles on their faces.

A few weeks later, Haley broke up with Nathan. She had realized she was in love with Lucas, and got part of her tattoo removed to show the number 3, Lucas's jersey number. Needless to say, Lucas and Haley got together despite what everyone else thought. They stayed together the rest of their lives and lived happily ever after.
