CHAPTER THREE
Nathan felt like all his limbs were going to fall off at any given moment as he made his way towards the loft he shared with his best friend and brother. He knew he'd been working himself off more than usual and even when Lucas insisted that he take a break every two days, he'd insist that wasn't enough.
He claimed he needed to be fit, even fitter if possible and the older Scott knew that Nathan was already the healthiest he could ever get, but the stubborn brunette never listened to him.
He kinds of regret not listening to his brother now, feeling every part of his body ache every damn step he makes. It's an agony, but he's long since figured out how to ignore the pain and keep on doing so until it dissipates.
He opens the door to find Peyton enveloping him in a hug, one that he certainly didn't expect as he stumbled back a few steps before finding his balance once again.
'What's going on?' He laughed, noticing the amused look on his brother's face.
'Peyton's part of the student advisory council,' Lucas explains after realizing Peyton's still too caught up in the moment to talk.
She'd been working her ass off to maintain her grades and position as one of the leading students in NYU, so when she'd been called to the chancellor's office earlier and was told to join the council meeting, she knew exactly what was going to happen.
Like she'd already theoretically predicted, the meeting lasted for about three hours before they announced that she was now an official member of the SAC and immediately assigned her to host the next upcoming event.
Nathan's complaints about his own well being all flew out of the window after hearing the good news, knowing very well that Peyton deserved it. He was proud, and the grin on his face as he wrapped his arms around her as well showed it clearly.
'That calls for a celebration,' Nathan hooted.
Peyton pulled away from him and nodded, the smile on her face making the two brothers share the same proud smirk they always wore on their face when it came to Peyton's achievements.
'And it's your birthday tomorrow, Nate,' she smiled.
He'd almost forgotten.
'Exactly,' Lucas said, pulling Peyton to his side and kissing the crown of her head before she excused herself to get ready for their little escapade. 'You up for a little Marble Lane?'
'Are you serious?' He choked out, eyes widening. He's never been to Marble Lane, but he's heard of that steak joint every damn party he went to. He was sure it's not just because of the food though. It's that club in the rooftop that got everybody's attention. PH-D.
'Peyton's not exactly allowed to go up there yet, but I can pull a few strings,' Lucas raised a brow at his expression.
'Dude,' Nathan knew they were threading on thin lines. They were on every magazine after they'd partied all night at some lame club down the street once and although they admitted it wasn't really something they were proud of, they enjoyed letting loose and getting wild that night. Living young, as Peyton said.
'I'm twenty-one, Nate,' Lucas was shocked his brother was actually thinking of the consequences, but he did know better than to cross that border again. They almost got jailed, and usually, that wouldn't be much of a big deal, but they were famous and they knew it wouldn't do well on boosting their career. 'And you're turning twenty-one tomorrow.'
'Fuck this,' Nathan laughed. 'I want to have a drink at a fancy rich club and meet girls. I don't give a shit about what the media thinks.'
'Yeah, I don't really give a crap about that right now either,' Lucas claimed, his tone as serious as it can probably get. Nathan noticed. 'I just want to celebrate, and it's been so long since we last had a crazy night.'
'I feel you, man,' they both laughed at the younger Scott's choice of words before deciding to get dressed for the event too, the two of them unable to hide their excitement.
'You know I'm feeling a little fucked up already, right?' Nathan mutters. He honestly didn't care at that moment though and he's sure he's going to regret it the next morning but like he said, fuck it.
Lucas laughed, patting his back. 'That's what you get for not listening to me, old man.'
'Shut up.'
Lucas felt like he was going to go insane at the sight of his fiancée in that Victoria's Secret open-back lace dress. It hugged her in all the right ways and reached just in the middle of her thighs, showing him either a lot or too little of the legs he loved.
What made it worse was that he knew she wasn't wearing a bra and it killed him to know that. Those pumps she wore also made him sweat a little.
Her curls were a little extra messy and her make-up was light and smoky and he wasn't sure whether she was actually trying to give him a heart attack because she had red lipstick smeared on her lips that she knew he knew he worshiped very much.
'You're fiancée's hot,' Nathan smirked, backing away a little when Lucas glared at him. 'Just saying.'
They had a light dinner just a while ago at Marble Lane and after a while headed immediately to PH-D where they were granted immediate access due to the bouncer who was apparently a huge fan of theirs.
Nathan knew being an NBA player would pay off, and when he'd mentioned it to the couple, they laughed at him and couldn't help but agree.
The night was a blur.
They were drinking, laughing and dancing like they had no care in the world. It was a sight to see and by the time they had more than enough of their drinks, everything got a little more, well, wild.
Nathan was surrounded by a lot of girls who were more than willing to give them anything he wants and ask for if ever. He was doing body shots and the crowd squealed for him. He'd pull girls into a lip-lock or get pulled himself in the dance floor while they danced around him. He was drunk, a little too much for his own good, really, but it didn't matter. All that did was the fact that he was enjoying the night and having fun, and he really really was.
Lucas and Peyton on the other hand were like two very drunk teenagers after their sixth drink. She was grinding onto him in ways that had him pulling her to a private section in the club and doing it right then and there. They came out disheveled and were panting like crazy but she looked sexier than ever and she really couldn't deny that he did too.
If they weren't taking more shots, they'd be out on the dance floor again or making out in their booth. He'd tell her she looked gorgeous even after all those drinks and she'd kiss him as if it was the end of the world. She'd tell her things that she usually wouldn't tell him if she wasn't tipsy and he'd laugh and just keep listening to her. It was a crazy night, but damn, it was exciting and outrageous and they were always a sucker for that.
'Luke,' she slurred, finally finding her way back to him after throwing up a little in the bathroom.
He looked up, knowing exactly what just happened to her. He wiped the remnants of her spew off the side of her lips and pulled her to his lap where she got comfortable instantaneously.
'You wanna go home now, baby?' he asked, running his hand up and down her arms to keep her from shivering a little bit.
'Someone was following me,' she laughed, her arms slithering their way under his now un-tucked midnight blue button down shirt. 'Fuck.'
He laughed and pecked her lips, amused by her choice of words at that moment. 'Doesn't matter, babe. I'm here.'
'Luke,' she arches her back and he groans, not hiding the fact that he's getting turned on by her actions.
'What?' He breathed.
'You're sexy,' she smiled coyly, suddenly her worries about her certain stalker forgotten all at once.
'God, I love you,' he sighed before pulling her into a deep kiss that a little later lead to him kissing her on that spot whilst caressing the inside of her thighs. She moans loudly in pleasure and he just smirks, that sound suddenly like music to his ears.
'I'm leaving,' Nathan heaves, not caring about what they were doing at that moment due to the fact that he had a girl by his side that he probably intends on fucking senseless.
'Right behind you, Nate,' Lucas groans when she stands up and accidentally brushes against him. She smirks and he really couldn't help but rush him and her out of the bar and jump in the cab Nathan hailed for himself without a second thought.
He hears Nathan's endless yells but he really couldn't careless when the love of his life was tugging at his shirt and pressing her lips to his for a searing kiss.
'I can't wait to get home,' she pants.
'Me too, baby,' He smirks. 'Me too.'
