A Tric up my sleeve [for loves_thedark]

Luke had spent most of the day worrying about Dan and Peyton. Peyton coming to town a few days ago had been quite the surprise. He still hadn't spoken to her. She had woken up Libby and that was enough. She even dodged Brooke's calls. He spent three days in a cocoon emerging only for breakfast. It was no way to live and Lucas couldn't help but feel

Libby wore the one nice dress she'd packed. It was red and strapless, perfect for a night in a club. She left her hair down and had labored over straightening it. It had taken forever, it always did, but she was happy with the results. She had on heels that made her at least as tall as Lucas. She noticed the way he checked her out and it made a smile tug at the corners of her lips.

"Ready to go, Handsome?" she asked as she grabbed her bag. It was a small clutch just big enough for lipstick, some money and her ID.

"Yeah," he responded, coming to a standing position. Moving to the front door, he opened it waiting for her step over the threshold. He was a gentleman after all. When they got to his car, he opened the door for her as well, closing it only when he saw her leg was out of the way.

Coming around, he climbed into the driver seat and looked over. He was momentarily distracted. Again.

There was nothing wrong with distraction. In fact, if he hadn't been somewhat distracted she would have been upset or assumed he was gay. She ducked her head, hiding a grin.

"Thanks for asking me out. I think this'll be fun."

"I think we need to let loose," he replied, turning forward but already missing having his eyes on her. The drive was filled with small talk and glances out the window. It wasn't the stuff of legends but then, Luke wondered if he'd ever experience that again.

He parked close and climbed out of the car at the same time as Libby. The line was long but that was one thing about being Lucas Scott [or for that matter, Brooke Davis, Peyton Sawyer, Millicent, Mouth, Skills, Nathan, or Haley], he could bypass the line.
