A/N Thanks as always. I was really happy to get so many reviews on the last chapter, since in my opinion it wasn't one of my best. You all picked option 3, I just have the story move forward to a week after Lucas' confession but there's a little flashback that will explain to you what happened after Chapter 9. I hope I was clear and that you like the chapter. I just want to say to Suze18 that I put Chase and Brooke together in my fanfic because I really loved them in the show personally I was hoping for them to be endgame, but we all know it didn't go that way. But it's okay, it is now confirmed there's no going to be any Brulian in my story but since it's mainly Leyton there won't be to much Chase and Brooke. After this really long AN I leave you to the story :)

It had been almost one week since Lucas confessed to Peyton. His confession made Peyton see what had been there all along. She slowly realised she was still in love with him, thanks to his book as well. Now that Julian was out of the picture for the moment it was a perfect moment to give Lucas a second chance. Lucas had been nothing but a good friend to her since she got back to Tree Hill. He never once tried to steal her from Julian when they were still dating. And she admired that, it was so noble of Lucas to wait for her. In the mean time Peyton returned in Brooke's house because it wasn't appropriate to stay in the same house as Lucas now that they were both aware of each other's feelings. This doesn't change the fact that they both knew without having to tell the other but now things were better, clearer. And they could finally start an adult relationship.

Flashback:

"You really love mocking that much." Peyton said with a questioning look.

"Actually, I really love you that much." Lucas said, not realising what he had just confessed.

Peyton looked at him, confused. She didn't know what to say.

All the feelings she had been trying to deny all these years came back in the surface. She stared into his blue eyes. And she got closer to him and kissed him, Lucas cupped her face with his hand as he kissed her back.

The kiss didn't last long, Lucas knew that was his answer. He was very sure that Peyton was going to say those words back as soon as she was ready to say them. He wasn't going to waste this opportunity, he was going to treat her right.

End of flashback

"Finally!" Nathan exclaimed with happiness and joy.

"We have all been waiting for you to get back together since Peyton came to Tree Hill."

Lucas looked at him laughing.

"She was with another man, Nate."

"So what? We all know Peyton only loves you. You were the only one who was convinced she moved on."

"Well, you said it yourself that Julian is very charismatic, charming whatever that is." Lucas shrugged.

"Charismatic, I guess. And well, Julian can be the most famous movie producer but he will never be you to Peyton."

"You think?"

"Sometimes I think you're too dumb." Nathan laughed.

"Thanks. It's just that.. It doesn't even feel real, you know? I've been waiting for this day for as long as I remember."

"Try not to screw it up, okay? We've had enough drama with Julian cheating on Sawyer."

"But we all know you would never cheat on Peyton..." Nathan added.

"Exactly." Lucas firmly said.

"Just don't get too serious." Nathan said.

Lucas spent his morning at Naley's house with Nathan and Jamie. He really missed them, he had been spending most of his time with Peyton for obvious reasons.

Peyton instead was with Haley. Haley and Lucas pushed into opening her own record label in Tree Hill. She did need a job, and she really loved music and finding new bands. So thanks to Haley and Lucas she could see her dream come true. With everything that has been going on Peyton has been able to get over the heartache that Julian had caused her. She realised she could forgive him, but she wasn't exactly going to welcome him back when he was returning because of Lucas' movie.

"You really did a great job in here." Haley as she entered in Peyton's new office, the room was very Peyton-ish, it just felt like her old room.

"Thank you, Haley." Peyton said smiling as she went and hugged Haley.

"Just let me tell you how happy I am for you and Lucas. It has been long enough and you both deserve to be happy which I think you can be with eachother. I'm team Leyton like Brooke would say."

As Haley finished talking Peyton's phone started ringing and of course it was Brooke.

"Speaking of." Peyton said as she answered her phone.

"P. Sawyer!" Brooke's raspy echoed in the room and Haley and Peyton both laughed.

" Oh, there's Haley too. Fine, care to explain why am I the last person on Earth to find out about you and Broody?"

"Broody?" Peyton asked.

"Oh don't play dumb, Peyton. You know what I'm talking about you."

"And how do you know if I didn't tell you?" Peyton said and then looked at Haley and understood everything.

"Of course." Peyton whispered.

"Okay forget it. It was about time you got together, we've all been waiting." Brooke said sounding happy.

"That's what everyone said." Peyton said sarcastically.

"Yeah, you and Lucas were the only dumb people not to realize it." Brooke laughed.

"Changing the subjet. Where are you coming home?" Peyton asked Brooke.

"Home? You finally got back together with Luke and you're talking about home. I'm so a genius." Brooke whispered the last part and Haley and Peyton looked at eacthother confused.

"Anyway, I think in a or two. I can't stand Victoria anymore. She's so annoying. And you know, I miss Chase."

"Yeah we know Brooke." Peyton said.

"So what are you doing in Tree Hill?"

"We have just opened a record label here." Peyton said excited.

"What? Why do exciting and good things happen when I'm away?"

"That's what I was thinking." Peyton said with sarcastic tone and turned to look at Haley and they both laughed.

"Okay. Once I come home we three are going to have a girls night. Now I really have to go. Bye."

Brooke hung up the phone and went to finish working about her new line. She was really excited about the new line that she couldn't wait for everyone to see it, especially Victoria. She was hoping that once her mother realized how talented Brooke was, she was going to stop being such a bitch to her and start loving her like a mother loves her daughter. But Victoria wasn't the typical model and Brooke was very aware of that. And that's what hurt the most, Brooke had really had a real family and that caused her to be such afraid and vulnerable and to want attention. She never felt like she was enough. But she had Chase, Chase had accepted the way she was in high school, he had changed her back in high school. He only loved her and that's what mattered the most for her. He really cared for her.

As soon as she was done with the drawings she picked her phone and dialed Chase's number. He answered after a few rings.

"Brooke. Hi. It's so nice to hear you." Chase said as he answered.

"I'm sorry to bother you. I just really miss you, that's all."

"You never bother me, Brooke. But I'm really busy at the moment, I have to go. I'll call you later. Bye." Chase hung up. Brooke put her phone away and stared at her drawings. She was really hoping that her mother would like them.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Brooke had no idea who it was. Who would come to her company?

"It's open."

Her face changed expression once she saw Chase come in her office. She got up and went to greet him, she placed a kiss on his lips and then hugged him tightly.

"Chase. What are you doing here?" She said really confused.

"If you don't want me here I can go." He said indicating the door.

Brooke stopped him and pulled him close to her. "You're not going anywhere." She kissed one more time.

Brooke and Chase left the Clothes over Bros shop, Victoria had got really angry at first but then let Brooke go. She had to realize that Brooke wasn't a child anymore.

"I'm so happy that you are here." Brooke said as she smiled.

"And I'm happy to be here."

Chase and Brooke went and grabbed some food before going back to Brooke's place in New York and spend the rest of their day there.

Back in Tree Hill, Haley had asked Peyton to babysit Jamie for a couple of hours, and of course she accepted. She hadn't spent much time with Jamie and she was happy to help Haley so she could get to know Jamie better.

"So are you and Uncle Luke back together?"

"Kind of." Peyton muttered.

"Wow, this is so cool. Lucas really cares for you. Do you love him like my mommy and daddy love eachother?"

"You are too curious." Peyton laughed.

"I hope one day you and Uncle Luke can have what my mommy and daddy have." Jamie said smiling.

"Really?" Peyton asked surprised.

"I'm little but I understand things. Lucas talks about you the way my daddy talks about mommy."

Peyton took him in her arms "You are too adorable."

"That's what I've been told."

At that moment Lucas entered the house and saw the scene. Peyton and Jamie were talking and she had him in her arms. Lucas smiled, he was really hoping that one day she'd holding their child.

He then approached them, Jamie was the first one to notice him so he got off Peyton and went to greet Lucas. He took him in his arms and kissed his cheek.

"Hey buddy, what are you doing here with Peyton?"

Jamie looked at Peyton laughing. "We were talking about you."

Lucas set him on his foot. "Why don't you go grab your ball? I'll wait here."

"Okay." Jamie said as he disappeared from the living room.

"Jamie totally loves you. But well who wouldn't?" Lucas smiled and kissed her.

Their small kiss was interrupted when Jamie returned.

"Bleah." He said laughing.

"Oh, you didn't take long." Lucas said embarassed.

"Can Peyton come too?"

"Sure, where's Haley anyway?"

"Well she had some appointment." Peyton said.

Peyton said on a bench while Lucas and Jamie were playing. Peyton had texted Haley before they left for the River Court. It was really a nice afternoon, she enjoyed watching them playing basketball. Jamie was wearing Nathan's old jersey. He really looked like a little Nathan only blonde.

Haley came to pick Jamie at 6 pm. She sat with Peyton watching her son playing with his uncle.

"So.. Doesn't this make you want to have one of your own?" Haley said out of the blue.

Peyton looked at her really shocked.

"What?"

"Mh nothing forget it. Jamie really loves spending time with you, especially if Lucas is around. He's saying things like he wants to move in with you."

"That child." Peyton said laughing.

At that moment Lucas and her locked eyes, he really enjoyed watching her laugh. It was the most natural thing.

Haley noticed Lucas and Peyton stares. And smiled to herself, it was like everything went back to normal. But it was getting late and it took Haley long to convince Jamie to go home since he wanted to spend time with Uncle Lucas and Aunt Peyton like he liked to call them

Once Haley and Jamie left, Lucas and Peyton laid on Lucas' Mustang. It got dark pretty fast and they were just lying staring at the sky. A comet crossed the sky, and Lucas looked at Peyton as sign to what was his wish. Lucas noticed Peyton was a bit cold, so he gave her his jacket and held her closer to him. Peyton closed her eyes as she lied her head of his chest.

"This is so perfect. It feels just like a dream." Lucas whispered and Peyton heard him.

"It's more than perfect." Peyton smiled at him and kissed him.

As it got late for them too, Lucas decided to take Peyton home. He escorted her at the door.

"Are you sure you want to stay alone?"

"Lucas.."

"This town is full of crazy people. I just want you to be safe."

"I'll be safe."

"But I'd feel better if you were with me.." Lucas muttered.

"This is sweet Lucas, but I can handle one night on my own." Peyton smiled at him reassuring him.

"If you need me, I'm a phone call away." Lucas hugged her.

"I know." She nodded.

"You told me once, remember?"

"And you still remember." Lucas said surprised.

"Even if I was in LA I never forgot about you.." Peyton admitted honestly.

Peyton reached the door and then turned to look at him. She too didn't want him to leave him, but she didn't want to rush their relationship.

"Well, if you want to come in.." Peyton looked at him.

"Of course."

Peyton and Lucas got into Brooke's house.

"Are you hungry?" It was really late night and they both didn't eat so it was a fair question.

"Yes but you're not cooking." Lucas said joking while Peyton put a pout on her face.

"Thanks. I can cook by the way."

"Honestly, you're horrible at cooking but you have better qualities." Lucas said smiling and placed a small kiss on her lips.

"You are such a.." Peyton couldn't even finish her sentence that Lucas put his finger on her lips.

After a few more words Peyton and Lucas agreed that it was better if he cooked. Peyton sat on the couch in the meantime while he was cooking, looking at him.

"You're so creepy. Stop looking at me."

"Fine." Peyton said and turned on the television and totally ignored him until he finished prepararing "dinner".

Lucas sat next to her giving her a plate of pasta, she was still pouting. Lucas laughed looking at her, she was adorable even when she was mad at him.

She took a bite, Lucas was a much better cooker than her. Lucas noticed as she went from pouting to smiling as she ate.

"You can admit it." Lucas said.

"Fine, you cook better than me. But still you lose to crappy songs." They both started laughing.

Their little dinner was interrupted when there was a knock at the door. Lucas gestured to Peyton to stay on the couch because he was going to answer at the door.

He opened the door and saw Julian's face.

"Lucas who is it?"

Julian was still silent until Lucas talked.

"I see it didn't take so much for you to get together." Julian said bitter.

"I don't really think that's one of your business."

"Well, we're going to have to work together. We still have a movie to do and there's time for Peyton to realize that you're just a bad choice for her."

Both Lucas and Julian were now looking at Peyton as she made her way to the door.

"What the hell are you doing here Julian? It's late and if you want to discuss business you can come in the morning."

"Well, you know it's not over." Julian said smirking at her.

Peyton didn't respond and just closed the door in his face. Lucas looked at her and went and hugged her.

"Of course there has to be drama, it's Tree Hill.." Peyton whispered.

Lucas didn't say anything, he was hoping that Julian wasn't really going to get between them. They were finally getting back what they had.

A/N2 Okay, of course I had to put some drama with Leyton getting back together. Because that's what always happens :/ well, is Julian back only for the movie or does he have other secret legenda? Mh.
