We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love

"Alright Ma, just closed my last table…I'm going to head home so I can call Brooke."

"Can you do one last table? They specifically requested you, plus with my bad knee I really can't go all the way up stairs with me doing the full Valentine's Day shift cause your sister's sick."

"One last table…I'll just text Brooke that I'll call her later than expected." Lucas pulled out his phone as he made his long journey all the way up to the roof top dining area. Why someone wanted to sit out here in this type of weather was beyond him, but he couldn't say no to his mother. As he made his way to the table, he noticed that the person sitting there was all alone, with her back towards the door. That's not quite normal if you were expecting someone to come through the door, you'd want to see their face. Perplexed, he opened up his pad so he was prepared to take her order. She had the same hair color as Brooke; he felt a pang in his heart. He really did miss his Pretty Girl so much, even more so tonight being that is was Valentine's Day. He just wished they could be in the same place today and every day going forward. He needed her, but she needed to finish her schooling. He'll always be around for Brooke, he most certainly can wait until she's done with schooling then.

"Hi." A raspy voice said, pulling Lucas out of his trance.

"Uhh, hi…tonight we have the various specials as you can see in our menu. Would you like to start off with any thing to drink?" Lucas rambled out, not once looking up at the person sitting in front of him.

"Surprise." The sad look on Luke's face changed immediately to confused.


"Surprise" It took Broody a couple of seconds until he fully realized what was going on. His eyes quickly changed and happiness was written all over his face. Before I knew it, I was up in the air spinning around in a circle.

"I can't believe you're here." Luke said between planting kisses all over my face. "But what about school? I thought you said you were swamped this weekend with school work?"

"Tiny white lie so I could get to come up here and surprise you."

"You're mean." He lightly slapped me.

"Ya, but you love me."

"That I do, so much. C'mon lets get out of this cold and go downstairs. I take it my mom knew about you being here?"

"Yup and yup. You like you're surprise?"

"You have no idea how much it means to me that you are here."

"Well, you're surprises aren't over yet there mister. I still have a couple more up my sleeve planned for this weekend."

"Please don't make it too much. All I want is just spend some time with you while I can." He planted a quick kiss on my head, pulling me even closer if that was evenly possible.

"Don't worry my Broody…we will." I leaned in and placed a loving kiss on his lips. The lips that I've missed so much; that are now mine…well at least for the weekend. This is completely worth the back to back all nighters I had to pull with my schooling to be able to fully spend the entire weekend here with Luke with no distractions. "Happy Valentine's Day love."


"Tonight was amazing. And tomorrow is going to be even better with the other surprises I have for you." I said to Lucas after he came back to the living room with a glass of wine for each of us. We were curled up on the couch after an intense make out session; things couldn't get any better.

"Being with you is absolutely amazing. But see here's the thing, I kinda have plans tomorrow."

"Oh really, with who?"

"See, I have this girlfriend on the side that I was fooling around with while you weren't around." I gave him a glaring look and slapped him across the chest. "Just kidding…I actually do have plans tomorrow…"

"Sure you do."

"Seriously I do… since I didn't know you were coming, I am co-hosting a party tomorrow with one of my friends; which you are obviously coming too."

"Are you sure? I mean, if it's a guys only night…I don't mind. I could just stay here and go ahead with work or something."

"Nonsense. It's not a guys only party, and even if it was, you're still coming."

"Fine, you're just going to have to get my gifts for you earlier than planned."

"I like the sound of that and use making plans together." He kissed me, and things got heated again.

"Ya, speaking of that…there's actually something I want to talk to you about."

"Mmmm." He moved from my lips, to nibbling at my neck

"Luke, I'm serious…." I had to literally pull his face away from mine so I could get his full attention.

"Ok, I'm listening…what's up Cheery?"

"How would you feel about me living with you?" Now I caught his attention

"Like permanently?"

"Mhm."

"But what about school and work and Haley?"

"There's schools and jobs up here. And I'll just go visit Haley and she could come up here."

"But you're life is down there…"

"I know, but you are my life now and I can't stand this not seeing you crap. When you're in love you have to make sacrifices, and this is my sacrifice. I need to be with you day in and day out."

"You just started school though…what about that? I don't want you losing out on credits and how far you came because of me…"

"I will just wait until I get a break in semesters then."

"Are you sure about this? Not saying I don't want you here, but I want you to be 110% sure before you make up you're mind. I don't want you to regret anything."

"I have never been more sure of anything in my life. I don't want this long distance thing anymore; I miss you too much."

"It's settled then…we are moving in together once you are done with the semester."

"Actually, it's two semesters…I've signed up for a summer course so I can try and catch up on the year I lost."

"That's fine, when is it over?"

"First week in August."

"Ok then, by the second week you'll be here with me. And don't worry about the long distance thing until then; the time is just going to fly by."

"I love you."

"I love you too, and I can't wait to be living with you again." The talking stopped, but the making out didn't resume. We are just content with each other's company, happy that we made plans for our future happiness.
