Okay by now i reckon you should have guessed this ain't exactly a short one-shot anymore. How long it's gonna be i'm not sure yet but i'll keep going while you lot want me to and while i'm still able to think of the words to tell the story(of course if you rely on my brain then you really are out of luck...joke). Just to clear up a little bit of confusion that may have arisen, 1)I kinda plan to have each chapter be from the viewpoint of one of the two of them or maybe a few others if it gets to be that long and 2) ITALICS arethe thoughts of the chapters' POV character and BOLD is the actual verbal words. Okay? Enjoy!
Will she come or is she just screwing with me in some kind of sick revenge scheme? No scratch that, Peyton's maybe a lot of things and she definitely has her faults but she wouldn't do THAT. If she wasn't interested in coming then she wouldn't have said she would. At least I hope so.
Now the important question. What am I gonna say to her when she gets here. Should I try to explain everything straight away or put her off until we get on the plane. Should I greet her with a "hey" and a wave or should I grab her and kiss her and never let her go again. I like the sound of the second choice but I should probably do the first one I reckon. I owe that girl so much of an explanation and apology that I reckon if I kiss her first I'll probably spend the next half hour picking up my teeth. yep I reckon that a smile and words is definitely the way to go here, it's certainly the safer way anyways.
Where is she? She said she'll see me soon and I KNOW her house isn't that far from here, well by car anyways. I hope she really is coming and hasn't decided to pull out of com….wait there she is. I always did love the way she walked even if she does have those skinny chicken legs holding her up.
"Hey Peyt I mmmf" Said Lucas stumbling over his planned apology as Peyton flew at him and melded her mouth to his. There isn't much in this world that can stop Lucas from talking especially when he is trying to apologize for the BIGGEST mistake of his life but Peyton Sawyers mouth clamped onto his? Yeah that'll do it.
Peyton pulled herself away from Luke after a few minutes and looking straight into his tired eyes…sinking into them…deeper and deeper…slapped him across the chin.
"OOOOWWWW" complained Lucas "what was that fo… Oh never mind I guess I deserved that didn't I?" He smiled ruefully rubbing his jaw and carefully eyeing her hands in case she hit him again.
"Yeah you did Luke. Now what is this about tickets to Vegas?" Peyton smiled at him, struggling not to laugh at the look on his face (currently somewhere between a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar and a father in the hospital holding his child for the first time). "I'll go to Vegas with you but you've got a lot of explaining to do before I'll seriously consider marrying you. I love you Luke, despite your drunken ranting the other night, but you have a serious amount of grovelling to do before I reckon I can forgive you for the other night let alone your behaviour over the last few months. Start now Rake boy."
"When did you turn into your dad blondie?" Luke grinned at the old nickname that Peytons dad had stuck on him at their first meeting, "No scratch that question, it doesn't matter and is actually kind off-putting. I know I've a lot of explaining to do and I want to start now but if we're going to make our flight, we need to move now. Can you wait just a few minutes longer. I promise I'll explain all on the plane. Okay?" Barely waiting for Peyton's nod of agreement he grabbed her hand and dragged her towards the check-in desk knowing that he had a long flight ahead of him but If everything worked out then, by the time they landed, he'd be back to the safe place he'd been 4 years ago before he'd made the DUMBEST decision of his life. He just hoped that he could find the words to say what he wanted to say, and he kinda hoped she wouldn't hit him again as his teeth felt a bit loose after that punch.
Damn Derek for teaching her to fight back. I'll have to have words with him about that. Maybe from a distance though in case he decides to go for me, marines are a little bit scary.
