Thanks for the reviews Maria, tickleme582, and Michelle!

Michelle-Thanks for the suggestion for a new chapter. I will definitely use it. However, I did not write the "In the heat of the night" story on the ez boards. That is someone else who coincidently has the same penname I have on here so that's why you thought it was me. But indeed it was not. I do think that is a very good fic though. The only L/H stories I've posted on ez board is this one.

Chapter 11

The Bed Scene in the Season 2 Finale

"Everything was so much simpler when it was just the two of us," Haley said to Lucas as she looked back on their time together.

"But it's not," Lucas simply replied and extended his hand and she took it. Their hands clasped together.

"I wish it was just the two of us again before everything, before we made all these mistakes. Just you and me," Haley admitted.

"Yeah, me too," Lucas also admitted as he smiled fondly at her.

"I really missed us and everything we used to do together. Mini-golf, buying bad music, going to the lost and found, everything," Haley reminisced.

"I miss everything, too. It's like without you around, I'm lost, you know? Like I'm not home because I'm not with you," Lucas replied.

"That's exactly how I feel, too even though I love being on tour, playing my music. It's just not the same without you."

"Ever think about coming back home?"

"Everyday, Lucas. But not just for Nathan, for you and everyone else. For me, too. I miss our roof. I don't have that here, you know."

"Yeah, then come home, Haley. I don't want to live my life without you in it. Just think about it at least, ok?"

"Yeah, I will," Haley responded. "I got to tell you something.'

"What is it, Hales?"

"I'm officially divorced at the age of seventeen. I sent in the divorce papers a few weeks ago."

"Really? So, you're no longer Mrs. Haley James Scott? No longer my sister-in-law?"

"Nope, back to being just plain old me."

"You're more than plain, Haley. You're amazing," Lucas complimented her.

"Thanks, Luke. I always felt like we were closer than a brother and sister though, you know?"

"Yeah, I know. We were always really close. Besides, I don't think brothers and sisters hold hands or kiss sometimes, do they?"

"Nope, I don't think so. That's more of a guy and girl thing to do," Haley answered.

"Yeah," Lucas looked intensely at her with everlasting love in his eyes and she did the same. "You sure you're divorced?"

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"Good, because I have to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"I love you, Haley, as more than a friend. I have for a long time, but I didn't want to ruin our friendship."

"Lucas, I've felt the same way, too. I tried to move on with Nathan but you see how that turned out."

Lucas smiled, relieved. "It feels so good being honest with you."

"Yeah, it does. So, what do we do now?"

"You mean, you don't know?" Lucas laughed.

"Hey, I was just waiting for you."

"Oh, really now?" Lucas leaned in towards her face.

"Yeah."

They smiled at each other as they leaned in and their lips met in a soft and tender kiss. It quickly grew more passionate and leaded to much more than just a kiss. They had fallen in love with each other. Now, Haley knew which Scott brother was much better in bed. It was Lucas.
