Chapter 12

Lucas entered Dan Scott's place of business the next morning. It was a Saturday and they were open for a few hours. Lucas had found that Nathan didn't work Saturdays, so it was the perfect chance to go see Dan, alone.

"Can I please speak to Dan Scott, is he in today?" Lucas asked. The female in the first office asked if he had an appointment, Lucas just urged that he needed to talk to him.

"Okay, I can go check and see if he can see you...what is your name?"

"Tell him Lucas, Karen's son."

She did as Lucas asked, and she told him to go right in.

"I was wondering when we would meet," Dan told him, "Have a seat."

Lucas sat in the seat across from him. "Yeah...I always wanted to meet you, I just never thought it would be like this. All my life as a child, I wanted to meet you. Now, it's not something I really wanted. I didn't want to be staring at the man who deserted me all of those years ago..."

"Look, I tried to send money...but your mother wouldn't take it...I tried to vist you but your mother wouldn't let me..."

"That is crap! She would have at least told me!"

"Ask her."

"Fine. I will."

"How did you find me?" He asked.

"My best friend Haley is dating your son?"

"Oh, that girl he is seeing..."

"Yeah...well, so...I can give you sometime to tell him. Does he know about me?"

"Deb, my wife let it spill that I had another son, so he knows. Do you really have to tell him who you are?"

"I'll give you a couple of days to do it, or else I tell him."

"What exactly do you want to accomplish out of this?" He asked.

"I don't know...it might be nice to maybe get to know Nathan."

"I don't think that is a good idea. You went twenty two years without knowing each other, why bother now?"

Dan reached into his draw, and started to write on a blank check. "Here. It's ten thousand dollars. How about you stay away from my family. I'll take care of getting rid of your friend."

"I am not taking your money. I am sure as hell not leaving."

"Why would you come here, to this town, did your mother put you up to this?"

"She didn't even want to tell me about you, even when I asked."

Lucas had almost wanted to get to know him when he first learned that he had wanted to see him when he was younger, but he knew it was a lie. His mother wouldn't have hid that from him. He also had just tried to pay him off. Lucas stormed out of there, knowing that he had to tell Nathan, but he wanted to wait a little longer.

Dan called in the security. She was blonde, young, and hott. The main reasons why he had hired her, and the fact that she wasn't half bad at the job either.

"Jennifer, How would you like ten thousand dollars?"

"It's Jessica, but ten thousand dollars, of course I would like it, but what do I have to do for it?"

"To try to seduce my son. Get him to sleep with you. He is dating someone who knows someone that I would rather my son not know. I have to try to end it with them, and since I don't even know this girl, I can't go through her."

She smiled, "Ten thousand dollars to just try?"

"Another five if you succeed,"

She smiled, she did need the extra money, "Sure." Besides, he was very attractive. It wasn't like this would be hard work.

Haley was on the kitchen with coffee and the newspaper, "So...spill!" Haley told Lucas as he entered the kitchen.

"About Brooke? It's too early to get into all of that..."

"You promised!"

"That night that you and Nathan set us up, it wasn't the first night that we had met.."

"You are just telling me that now? It seemed like you two hated each other."

"Kind of a love hate thing. She had been the girl...I sort of slept with and didn't forget. I even left her my number, she never called. So, the first time since that night was when I saw here there. She pretended not to know me, I went along. That night she sent me a text on my phone. She wanted me to come over, and ever since then we have been sleeping together, but I wanted more from her...she played hard to get. We went on a date tonight though and it was great.."

"Wow! Lucas! A date! That is huge for you!"

"I know. It was cute. She wouldn't let me in at the end of the night."

Haley smiled.

"SO...how are things with you and Nathan?" Lucas asked.

Haley smiled, "Well, Sawyer is offically not my student anymore."

"Why?" Lucas asked.

"I am going to be spending time with her outside of school. Nathan feels we are serious enough for all of us to spend time together. He thought it would get to confusing for her, the inside and outside of school part."

"Yeah, I can see that."

"I also told him about current status, sexually...and he didn't run. He just told me he would wait as long as he had to..he didn't care."

"Haley, that is great."

Lucas wished he could share with Haley about his morning, where had come from, but she didn't even seem to notice he had been out, so he didn't want to get into it.

"Daddy...why no more Miss Haley at school? Why new school? I liked her!"

"I know that you did hunny, it's just that Miss Haley and I have become really good friends."

"SO!"

"Haley and I are seeing each other, and she wants to be your friend too. It's hard for teacher's to be friends with their students outside of school, so that is why. She is going to go the amusement park next Saturday"

Sawyer's face lit up, "NO WAY!"

Nathan smiled, "Yes."

Things were so perfect for him. He didn't mind his job, Sawyer was happy, and for the first time in a long time he was very happy.
