6:00 was coming way too quickly for Peyton. She was freaking out. It was already 5:25 and she wasn't ready. Physically the green eyed blonde was ready; she was wearing black skinny jeans and a green top. But mentally she was not ready. She didn't know what to expect even though Brooke said she wanted their friendship back Peyton still couldn't help but think the worst. She really hoped that there wouldn't be any surprise visitors because she wouldn't be able to handle that right know, Brooke and her family was enough. The biggest issue that was making her not want to go is who Brooke Davis is married to. She really hoped that it was not Lucas because that would break her heart into a million pieces.
It was now 6:00 and Peyton was standing in front of the big beautiful house. Before she could ring the doorbell the door opened. She looked down to find one of the most handsome little boys she had ever seen.
"Hi"
"Are you python, because my mom said her friend python was coming for dinner" the young boy said "I really hope you are her because I'm not supposed to talk to strangers or answer the door but I saw you coming so I opened it anyway. So are you python.
Peyton laughed "yeah I am"
"Good" he turned "Mom pythons here" he yelled and then turned back and smiled at Peyton until his mom came.
Peyton couldn't help but laugh at the boy who thought her name was python.
"What did I tell you about opening the door" Brooke said picking up the little boy making him laugh.
"Well she said her name was python"
Brooke let out a loud laugh "its Peyton sweetie" she said making the boy turn red. "Did you at least introduce yourself?
"My name is Austin Jonathan Baker" he said with pride
"Well it's nice to meet you Austin Jonathan Baker" Peyton replied.
Austin just smiled at her.
Brooke put Austin down and gestured for Peyton to come in. Walking in the Peyton felt more at ease. To hear Austin say his last name was Baker felt like a heavy load was lifted off her shoulders.
"Peyton Sawyer" she heard as they walked in the kitchen
She looked up to see Julian. She smiled as he came over to hug her.
"How have you been" he asked
"I've been great. Just glad to be home" she replied
"That good" he smiled
"Well dinner should be ready in a few so how about I show you around and find those other goofs" Brooke stated
Before she could reply she was interrupted by a voice of a teenage girl
"Daddy is it time for dinner yet"
"No fifteen more minutes"
She rolled her eyes and looked over at Peyton. Wow Brooke Davis all over again.
Unlike her brother she had dark brown hair and big brown eyes. Where Austin had light brown hair and hazel eyes a mixture of both parents. By the way she just rolled her eyes Peyton could already tell she had her moms' personality.
"Peyton this is our oldest Bailey" Brooke said
"Oh wow she looks just like you. Hi" Peyton greeted
"hi it's nice to finally meet you" she started my mom has told me so many stories about how much trouble you got in during high school" she smiled
"Oh god" Peyton laughed
"Well I'm going to go show peyote around the house" said the older brunette girl
The house had Brooke written all over it. Even her in her kids room you can find a little piece of Brooke in it. Austin's room was filled with trucks and cars everywhere. The next room which belongs to Cole Baker, it had red walls with baseball things everywhere. Cole was a sweetheart. He is a dirty blonde haired boy with light brown eyes and is so much like Julian. Bailey's room confirmed to Peyton how much Brooke was in Bailey. There was pink everywhere.
Dinner went extremely well. Conversation flowed easily with no awkward silence. Peyton learned that Brooke was still that bubbly girl she knew in high school but a lot more mature. All three kids opened up to Peyton fast and got to know each other. And as for Julian he was the same just with a little over protective dad in him.
After dinner Peyton went back to her hotel room. She was relived the no one brought up Lucas while talking.
------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning Peyton woke up to a knock at the door. She was about to kick some ass. She sat up in the bed and looked at the clock 7:30. Oh yeah she was really about the kick some as. They knocked again. She got up hair a mess no make-up but she really didn't care, all she wanted to do was make whoever it was go away.
She swung the door open and immediately regretted do so. As soon as the door was open all the way her not so happy looking guess barged in.
"How long are you here for" they asked
"Forever" Peyton answered looking down "how did you know I was here"
"Austin let it slip "replied the person "I don't want you here"
"It's not your choice Lucas "she said getting mad
He sighed she was right it wasn't his choice. To be honest he was glad she was back but he had to show some sign of anger and he wasn't about to let her off the hook that easily.
"It's been 15 years Peyton, no phone calls or anything. You didn't even say goodbye" he paused "I was worried about you"
"I'm not yours to worry about Lucas, you had Lindsey to worry about" she said "and as far as I'm concerned you said you hated me. Excuse me for not saying bye to someone who hates me"
She was right and he knew that, but he wouldn't tell her that.
They just stared at each other.
God she was just as beautiful as ever. Her bright green eyes never failed to make him go weak in the knees. He noticed before she put her hair in a sloppy ponytail that she lost her curls and was darker than before. She was flawless even without make-up.
When she took the time to take in his features she noticed that he haven't shaved in a while and it made him look sexy. And those blue eyes that shine so bright. Man they were gorgeous. Lastly his hair was so sloppy and yet so perfect.
They both were quickly brought out of their thoughts when his cell started ringing. He sighed then looked at his phone then started walking towards the door.
"Hey pretty girl" he said while walking out the door
"Great he's with someone" she whispered to herself when she heard the door close.
AN: I really hope everything is understandable. Took a while to write this chapter because I didn't know where I was going with it. Brooke and Julian only have 3 kids and their ages are 15, 10, and 4 sorry I dint put that in the story. You will find out who called Lucas in the next chapter. Review please.
