A/N: I apologize for the delay in the posting of this chapter, but I got stuck trying to choose a song/title for it. I hope it was worth the wait.

What's In Your Heart?

Believe Again

Lucas and Peyton exited the room and walked down the hall holding hands. Peyton had looked up the address for Clothes over Bros and it turned out it was only a few blocks away. But they decided to drive their anyway since they didn't want to have to worry about carrying a bunch of bags back after Peyton's shopping spree. When they arrived at the store Peyton went to speak with the sales woman to introduce herself and Luke began looking around. After an hour and a half of picking out and trying on different outfits and other accessories, Peyton had managed to end up with 5 dresses to wear for dinner each night, a pair of jeans, three t-shirts, two tank tops, two bathing suits, a cover up. 2 skirts, a pair of jean Capri pants, two pair of shorts, and a sundress. She also managed, without Lucas noticing to pick up a couple of new pieces of lingerie as well as a couple of new bras and underwear. When they were finished they loaded all of the shopping bags into the trunk and decided to grab a bite to eat before heading back to the hotel for Peyton's spa appointment. They decided to grab a sandwich at a local deli and then headed back to the room.

Have you ever stared into the rainThought the clouds would never disappearHave you ever screamed out into the darkThinking no one else could hear

"The massage is supposed to take about an hour and I figure the pedicure and manicure will take about an hour, so I should be back sometime after 4:00." Peyton and Lucas were standing just inside the hotel room talk and holding each other with Peyton's arms around Lucas's neck and Lucas's arms around Peyton's waist. Lucas is going to walk Peyton down to the spa before heading out to explore the resort. They exit the room and begin walking down to the spa. As they walk they chat about the plans for the evening and it is decided that Lucas will find them a restaurant to eat at while he is exploring. He drops her off at the spa giving her a kiss before she leaves telling her that he will meet her back in the room in a couple of hours. Lucas began exploring the hotel. He found a Japanese restaurant that he figured would be something different for dinner. He made a reservation for them for 8:00, figuring that would give them enough time to get ready after Peyton returned from the spa. As he continued on he found that the hotel also had a dance club as well. He tried to remember the last time that he and Peyton had danced. Had it really been at the Honey Grove prom. He always loved the way dancing with Peyton felt. The two of them pressed up together moving as one to the beat of the music. The way it felt when she would lean her head on his chest and let him take the lead. He loved that feeling. It had been way to long since he had felt that. That and too many other things. He continued walking around the resort and came upon several shops. He decided to pick up a couple of surprises for Peyton. As he walked into the first shop he saw something that he thought would be perfect for Peyton.

I was leaving footprints tainted by my pastOn this winding road to you

"Good afternoon sir, can I help you?"

"Actually, yes. Can I see this one right here?"

"Of course," she replied taking the item out of the case.

Lucas knew that Peyton would love this. It was perfect. He told the sales associate that he would take it. As she was wrapping it up, he continued to look around, and his eyes fell on something and he knew immediately that it was perfect for Peyton.

"Miss, I would like to see this as well."

"Of course, sir." The sales lady came over and took the item out of the case and handed it to Lucas. "It's beautiful isn't it?"

I'd lost my faith in loveTonight I believe againMy Heart was a broken placeNow I feel whole againYou bring my honestyAnd that's worth believing inand I believeI believe again

"It's perfect. I will take both. Do you do inscriptions?"

"Yes we do. But it will take a few hours."

"That will fine." Lucas told her what he wanted inscribed and then handed her his credit card and she went to ring up his purchases.

"Here you go sir, if you could just sign the receipt."

Lucas signed the receipt. "Can I just pick them up tomorrow?"

"Sure they will be ready before we close this evening so you can pick them up any time after we open in the morning."

"Okay thank you."

Have you ever spun out of controlLike you never saw the road aheadHave you ever just kept looking backEver closer to the edge

Lucas left the store and continued to walk around the resort. He came upon a men's clothing store and decided to go in and browse. He found a few items that he liked and went to try them on. He also asked the salesman if he could assist in finding one particular item that he was looking for. The sales man inquired as to what size he needed and Lucas told him. The man said that he could have it for him by Thursday. Lucas paid for his purchases and told the salesman to have the item requested delivered to his room when it arrived. Lucas then left the store. He continued walking around for a little while longer, exploring the gardens as well as the pool. Before he knew it two hours had past and he started making his way back to the room, hoping that Peyton would be back soon and they could start getting ready for dinner. He hoped that she would like the Japanese restaurant. When he returned to the room he saw Peyton's room key lying on the night stand and knew that she was back, but he didn't hear or see her. He decided look in the bathroom and when he opened the bathroom door what he saw took his breath away.

I was praying for the light I see in your eyesI had all but given up

Peyton was in the bathtub with her hair pulled back in a clip and her eyes closed. He wanted to kick his self for almost missing this. Not just this moment, but everything with this woman. He had once told her that he wanted everything with her and that was still true, but his actions had almost cost him everything. He could see now how much Peyton loved him, and how much she wanted to be with him, to be married to him. If only he hadn't let his ego get in the way when she said she wanted to marry him some day. They would probably be married now. Maybe even have that little girl that he had told Peyton about on the plane. He continued to stand in the door way watching her. Haley had been right when she told him that he had lost his faith in love, but tonight, here with Peyton, the love of his life, he believed in love again.

I'd lost my faith in loveTonight I believe againMy Heart was a broken placeNow I feel whole againYou bring my honestyAnd that's worth believing inand I believeI believe again

Peyton had sensed Luke's presence as soon as he stepped in the room. She could hear him breathing. She had always been able to sense when he was around her. She knew that he was watching her and allowed him to have that moment, as she was enjoying her own moment. She had always loved the inner peace that she got from just being with him. In the quiet. After a few moments she spoke.

"Hey there handsome."

"Hi. I didn't think you heard me come in."

I believe the impossible is possible to overcomeI believe in miraclesBorn from love in everyone"I didn't have to hear you. I could feel you." They both just smiled at each other. "So where all did you go while I was gone?"

"Well let's see, I walked around and saw the pool and I found us a restaurant to eat at tonight. I made reservations for 8:00. I hope you are okay with Japanese."

"Actually that sounds really nice. What else did you do?"

"Well I found a little dance club here at the hotel. I thought maybe after dinner we could hang out there for a little while. Maybe drink a few drinks and dance, the way we used to at TRIC. "

"Sounds like fun. You're right. I mean we have both been to TRIC but we haven't been there together and danced since high school."

While Lucas went to take his shower, Peyton continued to get dressed. She decided to wear a black skirt that went down to just above the knee. She also wore a floral satin kimono tunic. It was black with a taupe colored floral design. The neck and waistline were also taupe. She pulled most of her hair up in the back with a clip, but left some of it hanging down in the front. She had on a pair of black open toed high heel shoes and had put on a red heart pendant necklace on. Hanging from the pendant was also the word love.

Lucas had finished getting dressed and had gone out to sit on the balcony while he waited for Peyton to finish getting ready. He was dressed in a pair of black slacks and a grey button down shirt. Peyton came out to meet him on the balcony.
