Chapter 3
Luke could sense how nervous and tense Peyton was. He smiled to himself because this is the first time in a long time that he has her all to himself.
"You doing ok?" asked Luke.
"Are we there yet?" "Can I take this thing off?" Peyton asked.
"No and No?" Luke told her.
"Are you kidnapping me?" questioned Peyton.
"It crossed my mind." he said.
"Ha,ha, you are so funny." Peyton said sarcastically.
"No Peyton I am serious if I thought that was the way to go I would do it; only you would make my life miserable without Bryce." "And I would get nowhere with you." Luke said.
The ride was quiet after that Luke knew Peyton was angry and it was about time. He wants her angry and mad to finally open up to him. Luke knew this was going to be the beginning. The car came to a stop.
"We are here." stated Luke.
"Finally I can take the thing off." Peyton said as she started to take the blindfold off.
Luke reached over and stopped her.
"Not so fast we still have to walk somewhere." he told her.
"Come on Lucas." Peyton said exasperatedly.
Lucas could not help but smirk he knew what this was doing to her. The longer he could keep it up the madder she will be.
Bryce, Karen and Larry were having a ball they went to the beach. They went to the toy store for some beach toys. They got pails, shovels, dump truck, bulldozer, and a sandcastle kit.
They were having the time of their lives. Bryce has not asked about Peyton at all. Larry and Bryce made a sandcastle. Bryce was running around and laughing and smiling. Until one of the other kids noticed Bryce's port scare on his chest area.
"Did you get hurt?" the boy asked pointing to the port scare.
Bryce looked down at it and said. "That is where the doctors gave me medicine to make me better." Bryce told him.
"Does it hurt." the little boy asked.
"Not anymore." Bryce told him.
Larry and Karen were watching what was going on. They smiled because Bryce handle that very well.
"I can't but wonder but how Lucas and Peyton are doing?" Karen questioned.
"I don't know but I hope they do make a breakthrough, they both could use it." Larry said.
Karen nodded in agreement. Larry went to play in the sand with Bryce. When Karen felt the shadow of doom walk up.
"So that is my grandson." Dan Scott said.
"Dan get out of here before Larry sees you." Karen told him.
"You know I have every right to see him also." "That bitch of a mother he has will not stop me from seeing him either." Dan told her.
"Don't start trouble Dan you know Lucas would freak out because you are here, now leave." Karen stated.
Dan walked down to where Larry and Bryce were.
"Hi Bryce I am your Grandpa Dan." he told him.
Larry was up and had Dan by the throat before he knew what he was doing.
"Get out of here now, you do not belong here." Larry said.
"If I were you Larry I would watch my tamper your bitch of a daughter just my lose that boy." Dan said.
Karen went down right behind Dan and grabbed Bryce. She brought him back to where the blanket was.
"Grandma Karen is he my grandpa too?" Bryce asked.
"Bryce I am not going to lie to you he is; that man is your daddy father." Karen told him.
"Is he a bad man Grandpa Larry does not like him." stated Bryce.
"You are going to have to talk to mommy and daddy about him, ok." she said.
Lucas and Peyton were still walking to where he wanted her to be.
"We are here." Luke said as he reached over and took the blindfold off.
There on the grass was a picnic fit for a queen. There was a little bit of everything.
"How did you do this Lucas?" asked Peyton.
"I have my ways." Lucas smirked.
They sat down a crossed from each other when Peyton looked down she saw and envelope with her name on it. She opened and out fell a condom and a note that said have fun P. (P.S. I want details.). Peyton knew who Lucas's little helper was. Lucas had seen the condom fall out of the envelope and smiled to himself thinking (That is Brooke for you subtle as ever.).
"Sorry about that." Luke said.
"That was all Brooke." Peyton said.
Lucas and Peyton ate their picnic lunch and then walked by pond and stopped at the place Peyton's Comet broke down the first time they talked to each other.
"You remember what you said to me that day." Lucas asked.
"First of all you don't know me; Second of all you don't me." Peyton said and smiled.
"That was a long time ago." "A lot of things have happened Peyton but my biggest regret is losing you." "Peyton I can't go through that again especially since Bryce is our son." Lucas told her.
"I don't know if I can trust you." "I don't know if I am ready to trust you." Peyton told him.
"I understand you need time and I will give it to you I just need a sign that you will stay open with me and try." "Don't shut me out Peyton; if you are upset about something tell me, you do not have to be afraid to." Lucas said.
"I don't know if I am afraid or angry or hurt." "I know you feel some of the same feelings I have too." "It is hard Lucas really hard; I am scared to give you another chance and I am scared not to give you another chance." Peyton told Lucas.
Peyton and Lucas had been talking for so long they did not realize that it was getting late.
"We better go and rescue mom and Larry." Lucas said.
"Yeah Bryce could have them so bonkers by now." Peyton stated.
Karen, Larry and Bryce were back at Larry's playing a video game when Peyton and Lucas walked in.
"Mama I went to the beach today and played in the sand and went in the ocean with Grandpa Larry not Grandpa Dan." Bryce told her.
A look of panic came over Peyton while a look of anger came over Lucas as soon as they heard Dan's name.
"He was near our son." "Why?" Lucas questioned.
"Lucas all we can figure out is that he heard Peyton was back and in found out the truth about Bryce." Karen said.
"I did not let him touch him I had him by the throat but not before he told him he was his Grandpa Dan." Larry told them.
"If Dan knows what is good for him he will stay away." Lucas said.
Peyton had gone over and picked Bryce up as to keep him safe from Dan.
"Peyton you ok?" asked Luke.
"He is not going to touch my son in anyway; he is not going to be part of his life." Peyton told them as she held Bryce a little tighter.
"He will have to go through me to do it." Lucas said.
