Chapter 2
"Just how many
bathing suits are you taking?" Lucas joked watching Peyton shove
in like 5 bikinis.
"I can't just pick one to wear, I'll get bored with wearing the same one," Peyton laughed a bit and then shoved some panties in too.
Lucas raised an eyebrow curious and picked up one of her thongs with his index finger smirking, "Please tell me this isn't one of your bathing suits.
I laughed again, "Naw, that one show's too much!" she joked back and took my panties from him, putting them in the bag.
Peyton Marie walked over to my closet and pulled out her favorites dresses; a green lacey one, a purple one, a white strapless , and a skimpy black one. Then grabbed two pairs of heels and lots of sandals.She stuffed my pile of neatly folded shirts into the bag and then zipped it up. She looked over at Lucas, his mouth practically on the ground, and laughed once more, "Lucas.. you know I don't leave home without lots of clothes, I've always been that way."
He nodded slowly, "..I just didn't think you got worse."
"Come on let's go watch a movie," she smiled grabbing his hand, dragging him into the living room with me.
"What's there to watch.. we've watched all those already?" He asked sarcastically.
"Sush.. you always like Finding Nemo," She stated popping in the dvd and pressing play.
He grabbed Peyton by her waist, pulling her down onto the couch with him, and they started watching the movie. About half way through the movie she noticed his attention wasn't on the movie anymore and asked him, "What are you thinking about?"
He looked over at me and chewed on his lip gently, "Us," He said softly.
"Huh?" She asked confused.
"I just don't understand it.. Everyone thinks we're together, heck my own brother didn't even recongnize you at first, he just thought you were my new girlfriend. God Peyton, we act just like boyfriend and girlfriend.. but yet we aren't? It doesn't make sense to me," he confessed.
His words made Peyton's heart flutter but her mind whirl. They weren't supposed to like each other, they were best friends.. it was wrong, "I'm not saying I wouldn't want too.. it's just.."
Lucas immediately cut her off, "It's just what?.. Give me one good damn reason to say no."
"We're best friends Lucas.. best friends don't date," Peyton answered, "It would just be weird,you know what I'm saying is true.. and plus even if we were to try what would happen after we broke up?" She asked shaking.
"Who says we would break up, Peyton?" Lucas asked making it even harder for me.
" Lucas.. I just don't want to loose you, and if we were to go out and then if we were to break up our friendship would be over," She tried explaining but he wasn't listening.
"You know you wouldn't loose me, I cherish our friendship.. you're my only true friend," He said looking directly in Peyton's eyes.
"..Then you should know why 'us' just couldn't happen," She said softly looking down at the floor.
