Chapter Two

It was already the next day (which was Thursday) and Lucas was a nervous wreck. He kept telling himself that it was just Peyton and that everything was going to go great. Haley and Nathan tried to get him to relax, but once they realized it was no use, they gave up. They had left a half hour ago to go see a movie, so Lucas and Peyton could have the house to themselves. Before they left, Haley made sure to remind him about the dinner she was having tomorrow night and the trip to the fair on Saturday. What Lucas was really excited about though was the guys night he was going to have with Nathan and Julian after dinner tomorrow night. He didn't even know how he was going to tell Julian about his date with Peyton. He knew how upset he was going to be, but he wasn't going to think about that right now.

Lucas set up the table, placing the food perfectly. He had prepared some regular spaghetti since he wasn't a big fan of cooking. He gave everything one last look before checking to see what time it was on his phone. It was 8:03 and Peyton was supposed to get there at 8:00. She should be here at any moment, Lucas thought. He looked into the mirror, making sure his white dress shirt wasn't wrinkled. He wiped his sweaty palms on his black pants and ran his fingers through his sandy blond hair.

Peyton was pacing back and forth across her bedroom. Brooke rolled her eyes at Peyton.

"Peyton, you're making me nervous! Just stop it already. You have nothing to be nervous about." Brooke had just finished getting Peyton ready. She was doing her own make-up since she was going out with some of her old friends.

"I'm sorry, Brooke. I can't help it." Peyton finally stopped pacing and looked at Brooke.

"You better head out now. Lucas is going to think you are standing him up."

"Yea. You're right. I'm gonna head out then. Bye, Brooke. See you tonight."Peyton walked out of the bedroom and left the house. She drove over to Lucas's house and managed to calm down a little. She checked her make-up one last time before walking up to Lucas's door. She took one last breath before knocking.

Lucas jumped at the sound of knocking. His heart rate sped up as he walked over to the door. He took one last deep breath before pulling the door handle and opening the door. His heart caught in his throat at the sight of Peyton. She was wearing a black dress that complemented her curves and showed off her amazing legs. Her hair was down and had a slight curl to the ends. He had never seen anyone more beautiful than her.

"Hi. I'm sorry I'm a little late. I got stuck in some traffic."Peyton looked at Lucas and smiled. He looked sexy as hell. She knew he was checking her out so she blushed a little.

Lucas snapped out of his trance and moved out of the way so Peyton could come in. "It's fine. I was just finishing up on some last minute things." He followed Peyton into the kitchen and pulled out her chair for her. He sat down in his chair and smiled at her.

"Well, everything looks great. Did you make this all yourself?" Peyton knew it was just spaghetti, but it looked amazing.

"Yea. It's pretty much the only thing I know how to make." Lucas watched her nod her head and tried to think of something they could talk about. "So, how's the label doing?"

"It's doing pretty well. I just signed a new artist. Her name is Mia. She is amazing!"

"That's great! I'm really happy for you."

"Well, how's coaching going?"

"It's ok. The players just aren't as good as they were when I played. I'm sure with the right coaching they'll get there though." The last thing Lucas wanted was for everything to get awkward, so his mind searched for anything that he could say. Finally a thought popped into his mind. "Remember that time Rachel got you drunk right before the cheer-leading tournament?"

She smiled at the memory." Yes. And then you took care of me the whole night.I don't think I could have made it through that without you."

"Well, I would do anything for you." They both smiled and began talking about other memories form high-school. The rest of the night went perfectly.

Peyton stood up and pushed her chair in."I should really get going. We have a busy day tomorrow with Haley's dinner and everything."

Lucas stood up and walked her to the door. "Ok. Well, I had a really nice time tonight. Maybe we could do this again sometime?"

"Yes, we should." Peyton waited for him to say something, so when he didn't, she just said, "Bye, Lucas." She was about to walk out the door, but Lucas stopped her.

"Wait." Lucas grabbed her hand and turned her around. He pushed his lips against hers. His mind went completely blank with the greatness of the kiss. He had never had one like this before. Every dream he's had of kissing Peyton couldn't compare to the real thing. Lucas could tell Peyton was also liking the kiss by the way her hands moved to the back of his neck. He pulled away a little to look at her. Her eyes opened slowly and he could see everything he had just felt inside of them. He wanted to feel her lips against his again. He leaned in to kiss her again, but she pulled away from him.

"I'm sorry. I gotta go." She ran out the door, leaving Lucas standing there, wondering what he did wrong.
