Later that night after practice Lucas went over to the café to talk to Haley. Little did he know that Brooke and Peyton would be there.
"Hey Sexy, how's it going?" Brooke shouted across the empty café.
"Um, excuse me what?" Lucas said stunningly.
"Luke over here!"
"Oh hi Brooke… and Peyton."
"Hi Luke." Peyton said with a twinkle in her eye.
"Well nice to see you girls, but I have to go catch up on some homework in the back with Haley."
"You don't want to sit with us and do it? Well okay. Bye." Brooke said with an angry look.
Lucas walked to the back where Haley was smiling like she had just received the best news in her life.
"Haley James, what is going on with your right now?"
"What are you talking about? I am fine. Let's talk about you, oh and the gorgeous Peyton."
"Speaking of her, did you know she is here with Brooke?"
"Yes, I do. You are going to talk to her tonight after you talk to me."
"Why would I do that when Brooke is with her?"
"You are not. She knows that Nathan and I are becoming a couple and she is going to talk to me about his family. After I talk to her, you will be speaking to her. So let's go over what you are going to say."
"Actually I think that I have a better idea. I know that if I plan what I am going to say I will mess everything up. So, after you are done talking to her I will walk up front and just wing everything. It will hopefully end up making sense."
"That actually sounds like a really good plan. Well Brooke is supposed to leave soon, so get ready."
Lucas made himself some food while Haley did some cleaning up in the back before they had to close and she needed to go talk to Peyton. Meanwhile Brooke was getting overly suspicious of Peyton's look she gave Luke when he came in the café.
"Why did you give him that look Peyton?"
"What are you talking about Brooke? I did not give Lucas any look."
"Yes you did and you had a little twinkle in your eye."
"Well it's not like he likes you anyway. You can tell. Plus all you do is whore around and Luke deserves a lot better than that."
"Well whatever then Peyton. It's not like Nathan like you when you guys were dating since he was too busy whoring around with me in the meantime."
"You act like I had no idea Brooke. I knew the whole time, I just didn't give a crap. I will not let him treat Haley like that though. That is why you need to leave so I can talk to her. Also B-Davis, give up on Luke. You are my best friend and you do not need to have the other Scott boy too."
"Fine then. I will just go. Oh by the way, Nathan and I haven't had sex ever since he started talking to that Haley girl. Plus I don't want to change, so I don't need to have Luke. I will just keep doing me. Bye P-Sawyer. See you at school tomorrow."
Brooke left without even being mad about the whole situation that just happened with Peyton. Haley saw Brooke leave and started to get nervous about what Peyton was going to say to her."
"Well here I go Luke. Wish me Luck."
"Good Luck Hales. Not like you have ever needed luck though."
"Oh fine Luke, you are the one that needs good luck. Come out in ten minutes."
Haley went out and had her little talk with Peyton, which turned out Peyton was just giving her advice about what to be like when she was around his mom and dad. Lucas was nervous but he saw Haley look back at him and knew he needed to go out there.
"You got this Luke, don't worry about what she will say. Just say what you have always wanted to say." Lucas slowly whispered to himself as he started walking out to Peyton and Haley.
"Hey Hales, can I but in and talk to Peyton?"
"Of course, she is all yours now Luke. I'm going to go in the back and finish cleaning up. Come get me when you are ready to leave."
"Sounds good Hales."
"You need to talk to me? What would that have to be about?"
"Well Peyton, I need to tell you something that I have always wanted to tell you."
"Actually Luke, I want to talk first."
"I know I have been dating your brother for two years now and that we have now broke up, as you probably already know. Every time you came around when I was with him, all I did was stare at you. I think that I should have told you this a long time ago. Lucas Scott I have been watching you for at least a year now. You are the definition of perfect to me. I need to be with you and I hope you feel the same. So now you can talk."
"I think you just took the words out of my mouth. I have always been keeping an eye on you Peyton. I didn't care that you were with my brother. I knew you needed to be with me. So, Peyton Sawyer, would you now like to be with me?"
"Of course Luke! Oh, by the way, Brooke already knows about this. So, don't worry about what she will think about this."
"Sound Perfect. Well that was a short and to the point talk. I am glad we got to the point. I need to go talk to Haley now. I guess I will see you tomorrow at school then." Lucas said with the biggest smile on his face."
"See you tomorrow Lucas Scott."
Lucas kissed Peyton on the cheek and then walked on to the back. Haley was done cleaning and standing there now with a big smile on her face again.
"Well Luke, looks like we are both in a relationship now!"
"What? When the heck did you talk to Nathan?"
"I was talking to him the whole time you were up there with Peyton."
"Well congrats Haley. Now let's go. I need to get some homework done before go see my girlfriend tomorrow. Damn that feels so good to say. Peyton Sawyer is my girlfriend."
"Nathan Scott is my boyfriend. Wow that does feel good to say."
Lucas dropped Haley off at home and then went home himself. He was so proud to call Peyton his girlfriend now. He went to bed ready to see her the next day at school.
