It was the day of Lucas' book signing. Peyton was so nervous because she would see the only guy who could bring the absolute best out of her. The only guy who could take one look at her and could tell what kind of day she was having. The only guy she ever loved so much that it hurts. She stood outside of that library debating on whether or not she would go in. Watching as his fans had smiles on their faces because they were getting to meet the wonderful man she already knew. There was a part of her that was feeling guilty that she was so excited to see the guy whose proposal she had turned down. She got over all those fears and decided to pull those library doors open to see him again. She walked in and scanned the place. The first person she saw was Lucas. His blonde hair and his blue eyes with a smile on his face. Then she saw a beautiful girl talking to him and kiss him on the cheek. It hurt her, deep. Why would he invite me her knowing his girlfriend would be here? Was her first thought . She took a deep breath and walked over to him anyway.

"Hi" She said in a very soft voice. Hoping that he would give her a proper reaction .

He looked up at her, he couldn't believe his eyes . He couldn't believe that the love of his life was standing in front of him . He couldn't believe that she actually came. He sat there shocked but managed to squint his eyes and say "Hi Peyt"

He stood up and opened his arms waiting for her to fall into them. Once she did he remembered how it felt to have her in his arms. How it felt when they were together. How it felt as if it were just the two of them in the room. She remember how it felt to be in his arms. How it felt to feel safe only being with him. They both remembered each other's scent and didn't want to let go.

Lindsey watched as the two hugged each other for a long time. She had just began to get close to Lucas and she hated seeing them together knowing their history.

Lindsey rolled her eyes and cleared her throat to say " Luke, you have many people here to see you .. " Trying to give him a hint.

Lucas and Peyton didn't want to let go of each other but they did. " Wait for me ? " Asked Lucas with a big smile on his face.

" Yeah " Said Peyton with a bigger smile on her face.

A few hours later the book signing was done. Peyton had did just what Lucas had asked and waited for the signing to be over. Lindsey left angily and told Lucas that they needed to talk first thing in the morning. But he didn't care, he had his favorite person here to see him. Lucas and Peyton went out to dinner.

" Oh , I missed you " Lucas couldn't wait to get that out.

Peyton was secretly happy that he said that but didn't want to show it. " I missed you too. "

The date went on and the two felt like they were on cloud nine. They were laughing and it felt like they had never left each other's side.

"So, how is your new editor" Peyton asked curiously. But Lucas looked confused " What do you mean ? "

Peyton laughed shyly " I mean do you like her ? " Lucas felt uncomfortable but answered in the best way possible. " She's ok, She's just my editor."

" Oh ". Peyton said . She previously noticed Lindsey kept rolling her eyes at the two of them and she wondered if it was because they were together. She didn't bring it up because they were having such a good time.

Lucas had been wanting to ask Peyton something but he didn't want it to seem like she was being pressured. " So, When are you going to visit Tree Hill ? Brooke's back even though you probably knew that already".

" Yeah, I knew that but I don't know. Tree Hill isn't my favorite place these days. But I've been thinking about it." She said confidently .

Lucas blurted out and said " Maybe you should come back with me. I have flight tomorrow". Peyton sat there looking confused and thinking Did he just ask me to come back to Tree Hill ?

Her mind was saying I don't know but her heart said - " Maybe "

The next day came and Peyton had already made up her mind. She packed her bags and was going to visit her friends in Tree Hill. She was happy that she was going to see all the people she grew up with. And secretly happy that she could see all the places she had the best memories of. She called Lucas to see if he was ready.

" Luke, I'm ready are you ? " She said through the phone very happily.

Lucas said slow " Yes I am ready . In fact I am outside and I'm with Lindsey"

"Great" Peyton said Flat.
