In Love with His Best Friend
Chapter 7 Lucas meet Peyton…Peyton meet Lucas…
They both stood their trying to gather their thoughts. Neither one of them could believe this was real. They had both been looking for one another for years. This just couldn't be possible.
Peyton was about to speak, but before she could she felt someone's touch against her back. "Hey baby," Julian placed a simple kiss on her cheek and looked up at Lucas. "Oh Lucas man…" He walks over and gives him a hug.
Lucas, who was Lucas? Peyton thought to herself. That was Logan. The guy she had met in Vegas.
Lucas was still unable to speak. He didn't know what to say. Julian had just kissed the girl he was sure that he loved.
"Luke…hey man Luke…Are you in there?"
"Yeah…hey Julian…"
Julian motioned for Peyton to come up next to them. "I can't believe you guys almost met without me."
Peyton finally had feeling back in her legs and was able to walk towards them. "I thought you were staying at the party."
"Well I felt bad about you walking the streets of Tree Hill without me. We may have stalkers out here or something…you never know."
"Who is this?" Peyton asked, but she already knew.
"This is my best friend Lucas…Lucas this is my girl…So Lucas…Peyton…Peyton…Lucas."
They just stood in front of each other not knowing what to say.
"Nice to meet you," they shook hands. It was the weirdest thing ever. Peyton thought maybe he wasn't her Logan, but he had to be. Lucas thought the same thing, but he had to be.
"Well come on guys…let's get back to the party."
"Yeah…" Peyton said.
"Luke, are you going to join us?" Julian asked.
"Um yeah," he was still stunned. He couldn't believe the woman of his dreams was standing right in front of him and was in love with his best friend.
The party was finally dying down, and Julian had left the room. Lucas took the opportunity to pull Peyton into one of the unoccupied bedrooms. "Nice to see you again, Beth." He spoke sarcastically.
"Likewise…Logan…" She glared at him.
"I looked for you for years, but I was looking for a Beth not a Peyton."
"We were in Vegas. I didn't want to give my name away to a stranger. It looks like you didn't either."
"Okay fine I admit that I didn't give you my name because I was nervous about being in Vegas and meeting a woman, but I have looked for you since the moment that we parted."
He still couldn't believe that she was standing in front of him. "Did you look for me?" He was hoping for a yes.
"No," Peyton lied. She had looked for him that's how she met Julian. "I told you fate would bring us back together if we were supposed to be together."
"Looks like fate just brought us together."
"I'm with someone else. And that someone just happens to be your best friend."
Lucas clinched his fist, "It is just like Julian to have what I want. He's always gotten everything he has ever wanted."
"It looks like to me he isn't your best friend."
"Peyton," They could hear Julian call for her.
"I should go."
Lucas grabs her arm. "It's still there. You and me…it's still there. We still have that connection."
"Logan…I mean Lucas…I..I should go." She turns to leave.
"You followed my advice."
"What?"
"Julian is the perfect guy. I bet your parents love him."
"They do."
"See I told you…I was right…but your parents would love me too."
"Peyton," Julian opens the door. "Hey there you are. What are you guys doing?"
Peyton looks at Lucas unsure of what to say.
"I was just getting to know your fiancé." Lucas walks passed them. "I've got to go. Nice meeting you Peyton." It was hard for him to call her Peyton, but he did.
"Are you okay?" Julian asked Peyton.
"Perfect…" She lied. She didn't know what to think. She never expected her Logan to be Julian's Lucas. Julian went to kiss her, but she pulled away.
"Are you sure you are okay?"
"I think I'm just culture shocked. This place is no LA."
"Nope…it's just Tree Hill. Not much going on here."
Wow…Tree Hill held a lot more drama than LA. She knew she should tell Julian, but she couldn't, and Lucas didn't seem to want to either.
Okay so I really wasn't happy with this chapter. But they will get more time to talk and get to know each other.
There are a lot of twist to come.
Hopefully I will update sooner this time, but if not you can expect one every week.
Thanks so much for the reviews. Keep them coming. And thanks for sticking with me.
