Brooke answered the door in a tang top and a pair of shorts. Normally, Lucas would have stopped to take in her appearance, she always looked gorgeous. But tonight, he wasn't thinking about how she looked, all he could think about was the decision he knew he had to make. He decided to hang out with Brooke, find out if what he'd been feeling was real or if they should just be friends.

"Hey Broody." She said

"Hey Brooke."

"So I got us a pizza and a few movies. I thought if you weren't doing anything else tonight, you might want to stay here tonight?" She asked raising her eyebrow. Normally, Lucas Scott would have jumped at the chance to spend a night with Brooke, but tonight, he couldn't do it.

"I'm sorry Brooke I can't."

"What, does your mom want you home or something?"

"No, it's just that . . .Well you don't even know if you want us again, and yet you want me to spend the night with you?"

Brooke didn't say anything. She knew that she did want to be with Lucas. She'd known it since they broke up the first time. She just wanted him to sweat it out a little, work for her. So far, her plan had been working well, he had made an entire speech saying that he was the guy for her. After that, she decided to push the limits and see what else she could make him do.

"Just because I'm not sure of us doesn't mean we can't have a little fun." She said with a suggestive smile

"Brooke, I'm sorry, I just promised myself that the next time I had sex with someone I'd be in love, or atleast in a relationship with them,"

"Didn't stop you and Peyton before." She mumbled under her breath

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

"No, you obviously want to say something. So please, I would love to hear it."

"Fine! I said, not being in a relationship didn't stop you and Peyton from screwing behind my back last year."

"First of all, Peyton and I never had sex, why are you even bringing that up? It happened a long time ago."

"Yeah, maybe for you. But for me, finding out my boyfriend and bestfriend were sneaking around behind my back isn't something I'm going to forget about too quickly."

"I can't do this right now, Brooke. I had a rough night and I really don't want to talk about it."

"What happened?" She asked genuinely concerned

"I don't want to talk about it."

"I'm sure you talked about it with Peyton."

"Back to her are we? You know what Brooke? I think I'm just going to go home. I'll talk to you later."

"Lucas wait!" Brooke yelled before he could walk out the door. He turned around and she basically lunged at him. She started kissing him on the lips and on the neck, and he wasn't sure how to respond. Right now, kissing Brooke it didn't feel right, like in some way he was cheating on someone. Peyton.

"Brooke stop, STOP!" He pushed her off of him "Damn! Is that all you think about? I told you I didn't want to have sex."

"Well why not Lucas? I know you want me."

"Not right now I don't. I'm going home."

"Fine, but if you leave don't bother apologizing or anything, because this time I'm not going to forgive you."

"Goodbye Brooke."

She couldn't believe it, she thought by telling him she wasn't going to forgive she could get him to stay; but that obviously didn't work. "Damn Brooke, you must be losing your touch or something." She said to herself, she grabbed a slice of pizza and decided to watch the movie on her own.

Lucas got into his car and just drove, he didn't no where he was going, he just knew that he had to get out of there. He wasn't at all suprised when his random driving led him to Peyton's house; most of the time it did. He got out of the car, walked up to her front door, and knocked. This wasn't something most people did when they got to the Sawyer residence, most just entered. But he loved it when Peyton opened the door. She always looked so beautiful, and tonight was no different. Her hair was in a messy bun, she was wearing paint-stained sweats and a tee-shirt, and yet she looked sexier than Brooke ever could in his eyes.

"Luke what are you doing here, I thought you were with Brooke."

"I was, but now I'm here."

"Well thankyou for pointing that out for me." She said with sarcasm dripping from every word. He loved that about her, she was so sarcastic, but in the most loveable way. What he did next, he never thought he was going to do again before tonight. He never thought he would want to or have the opportunity to do it again. He leaned in and brought his lips to hers. And something about it felt so incredibly right.

Peyton didn't know what to think, she was so confused as to whether or not she still had feelings for Lucas, but right now she didn't care. She didn't think about Brooke, or Jake, she just thought about them. They were two lost souls whom always seemed to find a way to each other. Right now, they needed one another, and she was more than happy to give him what he needed as their clothes were shed while they moved upstairs and into her room.

The next morning she woke up in Lucas's arms. Something she had never done before, but it was something she wanted to do over and over again. Lucas was awake as well, but he didn't say anything. He had told Brooke last night that he wasn't going to have sex with someone unless he was in a relatinship and in love. They weren't in a relationship, but did he love her? He thought he loved Brooke, but something inside told him it was Peyton, it always was and always would be.

Peyton noticed he was awake and smiled at him "Good morning."

"Morning." He said with a smirk

"So last night--"

"Peyton," He cut her off, "I think I love you."

Of all of the things Peyton thought she would hear out of Lucas Scott's mouth, I love you was the furthest form her mind. He looked at her, and she knew he was waiting for a response. But what would that response be?

Cliffhanger I know. There it is, the second chapter!! I like this story, but I'm more interested in what you think, so review it up!! I'm watching OTH right now, and Lucas was talking to Whitey about how there are more important things in life than basketball. Someone needs to tell him that there are also more important things than your pride, so suck it up and tell Peyton that you love her. But until season six, when he hopefully decides to stop being an idiot, I'll just have to write some happy fan fics for Leyton to make myself feel better.
Up Next: What will Peyton say? What will Lucas do about Brooke?
