AN : Thank you for all the reviews, I really appreciate them. I hope you'll like this chapter, I wasn't really sure of it so it took me a few days to post it. Well, let me know what you think…
Peyton is sitting on the bench in a black bikini when Lucas comes towards her.
"I have to work you know?"
"Excuse me?"
"How am I supposed to get any work done when I can see you in that bikini from my window?"
"I'm sorry Mr Scott, that wasn't my attention, would you like me to move"
"No actually seeing you in that bikini made me want to try my new pool, would you like to join me? He asks, smirking.
"Why not, lead the way." She smiles.
They walked to the pool and Peyton went in the water while Lucas stripped out of his pants and shirt, leaving him in his boxers. He gets into the pool and walked closer to her but she swims away.
"Where are you going Blondie?"
"Just swimming." He catches her and blocks her against the swimming pool wall.
"No you're not going anywhere" Their faces are only a few inches apart.
"Why is that?" She said coming even closer so their noses are touching.
"Because I've been wanting to kiss you for a long time."
"Then, what are you waiting for?" Their lips were so close, they were about to touch when he woke up with a smile on his face. 'Peyton Sawyer'.
Lucas POV
What is she doing to me? She sure has changed. Peyton Sawyer, I thought I would never see her again. She used to be so shy, she sure is a lot more confident now.

Later, on my way for a run with Nathan. All I can think about is her. She always intrigued me but now more than ever. I can't tell if she really likes me or if she's just flirting with me like she would with any guy. I shook my head to the thought and join Nathan who's waiting for me.
"Hey Nate, come on."
"Hey! Let's go!" They start running.
"What are you thinking about, Luke?"
"Peyton Sawyer is back in Tree Hill." He stops running and starts laughing. "What?" I ask him.
"She just came back and she's got you whipped again."
"What, I'm not whipped" I say. He gives me a suspicious look. "Okay fine, I can't stop thinking about her but I'm not sure where she stands."
"What else is new? You're still using this excuse."
"Well, it's true."
"You're just afraid that she'll turn you down. Talk to her, man!"
"Maybe"

Later I was back in my bedroom thinking about telling Peyton how I feel about her. How many times did I think about that conversation. It's always been this way. I never knew if she was into me, I'm 16 all over again.
Flashback" Nate, I'm gonna tell Peyton how I feel, today."
" Yeah, sure…"
"I am serious, this time I'm gonna do it "
What we didn't know at the moment was that Rachel was listening. At the end of class that day she came to talk to me.
"Hey, I'm sorry but I kind of heard your conversation with Nathan "
" Oh…"
"Yeah, I wanted to save you from a big disappointment, because the thing is that Peyton told me that she doesn't date jocks. She find them stupid and she hates basketball. You know how she feels about cheerleaders. And when I asked her about you, she said that you were just friends and nothing more, she made it pretty clear. I'm really sorry but I'm your friend and I felt that I had to tell you. "
End of FlashbackI can't believe I never asked her if it was true. Rachel was lying obviously. I can't believe I let her get to me that day. Well, at least she's not here anymore but I can't rush things with Peyton. She has only been back for a few days and I don't want to freak her out. Even if she had feelings for me back then, it doesn't mean that she still has. Oh my God… there she is teasing me tanning on her bench. Okay, I'm just going down there and ask her on a date.
--
"Okay Blondie, don't you ever work?" I can start with casual conversation, acting confident, been doing it since I was 16.
"Well, I only start next week. Have I disturb you in your writing?" You have no idea…
"Actually, you're a great inspiration for me but the temptation to come see you is too hard to ignore." Smooth, play it cool, she seems to like it.
"What a line, Mr Scott " She smirks when she says that but I can see the blush she tried to hide on her cheeks. I smile when I notice that my words have an effect on her. We never flirted like that back then, not face to face…
"I'm serious, in fact I came up here because if I remember correctly I have to show you romantic so would you like to go to dinner with me tomorrow night?" Don't turn me down…
"Lucas Scott, are you asking me out on a romantic date?" Now or never…
"Definitely, Peyton Sawyer, I hae been wanting to for so long" At this she seems surprised. But then she smiles.
"Tomorrow night, pick me up at 8, Scott. "
"Perfect."
