Here's the next chapter... Enjoy!! :0)

...

Peyton woke up to the sun peaking through her blinds shining brightly on her face. "Ah" she groaned as she realized she had a fat headache. As she tried to get up slowly, a pair of strong arms was wrapped around her waist. She lifted up the blanket as it exposed their naked bodies as she wrapped her sheet tightly around herself.

"Good morning" said Jake as he pulled her closer to him kissing her neck.

"Good morning" she replied smiling as she placed her hands on his chest.

"Please remind me why we drank so much last night?" he chuckled as he propped himself up on his elbow.

"How many bottles did we drink last night anyways?" she asked rubbing her temples.

"I think 3 all together" he replied pushing back a strand of hair behind her ears placing kisses along her neck.

"Jake" she giggled

"Peyton, last night" he said in between kisses "was amazing"

She smiled as she ran her fingers across his lips. "Yeah it was." she replied. Lucas was the last one she made love too before they broke up. "Lucas" she said out loud in her head.

"Peyton what's wrong?" he asked worried as he noticed a change of expression on her face

"Oh nothing Jake." she lied. "I think it's just because I had too much to drink, that's all" she replied sitting up.

"Peyton" he said as they stared into each other's eyes. "What does this mean for us?" he asked

The one question she wanted to avoid for now. She didn't know what it meant, but she knew that she didn't want to hurt him. "Jake" she said unable to look him in the eye"

"You don't have to say it Peyton" he said throwing on his clothes.

"Jake, please don't go. It's just that that I need some time to sort out everything that's going on in my life"

"There's nothing to sort out. I can see it in your eyes." he said hurt. "We were drunk, lonely and it got out of hand" he said knowing that it wasn't how he felt at all. He still loved her with all his heart. He never stopped and this was killing him.

"Jake of course it meant something to me, and it wasn't a mistake at all." she cried. "I-I care about you a lot and-"

"You care about me a lot, but you don't love me is that it?" he asked frustrated as she started crying. He hated seeing her crying.

"Peyton, please don't cry" he said sitting down next to her. It broke his heart to see her so sad.

"Jake please don't be upset with me." she said in between sobs. "You are so important to me and I just need to think everything through" she said as she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.

"Peyton, I'm not upset with you." he said as he ran his hands through her hair. "I'm hurt, but I understand. I'll give you the time you need" he said as he wiped away her tears with his thumbs.

"Thank you Jake" she replied as she kissed him softly.

"Well I've got to go release my parents from child duty so you know where to find me" he said as he kissed her on the cheek.

She nodded as she watched him walk out. She then fell back as she closed her eyes. "What am I going to do?" she asked. Her heart lies with Luke but at the same time with Jake."

...

Lucas started to wake up as he rubs sleep from his eyes. Once fully awake a smile forms at his lips as he looks over and sees his beautiful pretty girl peacefully asleep next to him. His mind replays their night of passion as her gorgeous body is wrapped up in nothing but their white bed sheet. "Pretty girl" he whispers in her ear as he places kisses down her jaw line finding his way towards the crook of her neck, traveling down her shoulders.

"Pretty girl" wake up." he whispered again kissing her cheek as she smiled trying to pull herself out of sleep mode. "Good morning" he said as she turned to face him. They were now face to face as their hips were aligned.

"Yes it is, isn't it Broody?" she replied as she took his mouth into hers. He then wrapped his arms around her waist as he pulled her closer to him deepening the kiss. Her hands then found his back as she caressed his soft skin now digging her nails into it as he placed hot passionate kisses down her neck biting and sucking as he for sure thought he must have bruised her. "Broody" she moaned as she detached her lips from his now placing hot kisses up his jaw line towards his ear. "Shower; you, me now" she whispered as she blew hot air into his ear driving him wild. "Pretty girl" he groaned as he watched her leap off the bed still wrapped in the white sheet. He then sprung up from the bed as he grabbed her by the waist.

"Luke" she cried with laughter as he pulled her closer to him. As they waited for the water to warm up, he placed his hands on her shoulders as he leaned his forehead against hers smiling. "I love you Brooke" he whispered as he bent down and kissed her passionately.

"I love you too" she replied against his lips as she deepened the kiss. As the room was filled with hot steam, Lucas shook his eye brows at her as he released her hands from the sheets she was securely holding up from falling. As the sheet drop, their lips instantly attack one another as the kiss grew intense. Her hands tugged at the hem of his boxers as she pulls them down. He kicked them aside as he pushes her back into the tub as his hands pressed up against the tile, enclosing her up in between his arms. She grasped his shoulders holding on for support as she stood on her tip toes deepening the kiss under the hot water. "Wouldn't you rather take a bath?" he asked in between kisses.

"No, this is more fun" she smirked. His lips then left hers as he placed kisses traveling down her chin, to her neck now resting in between the valley of her breasts; tugging and biting as it drove her wild. He picked her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist, running her hands through his wet hair. His hands couldn't stop help but roam her soft delicate body as he felt her shiver to his touch. "Luke, I-I" she panted, "need you now" she loudly moaned as it brought a smile to his face. "Yes maam" he replied as she clung on to his shoulders, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. He slid her down the cool tile as he glided her onto his erection causing a loud moan to escape from her lips. "You okay pretty girl?" he asked as he sees her close her eyes biting her lips.

"Oh god Luke, yes yes" she shouted as he slid in and out of her. She leaned down as she kissed him with passion teasing him with her tongue as the kiss grew deeper and deeper. Each time he would thrust into her, her lips would tear away from him as he felt her body tremble from the over powering of sensation exploding throughout her body. "You're getting close pretty girl," he said as he kissed her "let go, give me what I want" he whispered into her ear as she threw her head back deeply moaning causing him to moan along with her. "Tell me you love me Luke" she said trying to keep her eyes open but the pleasure was too much as he continued sliding in and out of her, causing her muscles to clamp down on him.

"Open your eyes pretty girl" he said as she obeyed. "I love you, love you, love you so much Brooke" he said as their lips once again met. He then moved faster and faster as she felt her body explode sending spasms of pure sensation after every orgasm. A loud heavy moan escaped both their mouths as he felt her orgasm rock throughout her body as he reached his own climax. He slid her back down as he placed her on the floor, pinning her against the tile as he rested his forehead against hers. He then wrapped his arms around her waist, as she wrapped hers around his neck, now standing under the water catching their breaths. She stepped aside as he showered himself real quick so he'd give her some time to relax against the water. "I love you, never stopped, never will" she said as she wrapped her arms around his chest from behind.

"You're my world pretty girl" he said smiling as he kissed her one last time before leaving her to shower.

…

"Hi Aunt Brooke its' Jamie. I know you're sad right now because Angie had to go home, but you still have me. I promise you I won't leave you. I miss you. When are you and Uncle Lucas coming home? I hope you bring me something good to make up for being away for so long." He said pouting as Haley laughed at him

"Jamie" she said

"But mama, Aunt Brooke always brings me something good." He said as he kept the phone at his mouth but talking to Haley at the same time. "Okay I just wanted to say I miss you. Please call me or just come by because I want to see you. Chester misses you too. I love you. Here you go mama" Jamie said as he handed her the phone now running to go play.

"I hope you both feel guilty. Your god son here is missing his god parents like crazy. Will one of you two please call and let me know you're both alive and not lying somewhere dead in a ditch or something. Okay love you tigger." She said hanging up.

"No answer?" Nathan asked as he walked back in.

"No, just left a message"

"Well I'm going to go head down towards the river court with Jamie and shoot some hoops with the guys." He said as he walked over and grabbed a water bottle.

"Okay baby, I'll see you later."

"What are you going to do today?" he asked

"I'm going to stop by Peyton's and see how she's doing and besides I've got a lot of papers to grade." She replied

"Oh okay. Jamie, buddy you ready yet?" He yelled. "How's Quentin doing in class?" he asked

"Coming daddy." Jamie yelled as he put on his red cape.

"Better" she replied.

"Alright Hales, see you later" he said pulling her in for a kiss.

"Ewwwww" yelled Jamie as he closed his eyes, as they laughed at him.

"Bye mama" he said kissing her

"I love you honey. Have fun and please stay out of trouble" she yelled.

"You got it mama" he replied shaking his eye brows at her.

…

"How's work?" Haley asked as she and Peyton sat down to have lunch.

"Work is good. Mia comes back Wednesday." She replied. "Which reminds me; we need to finish working on your tracks."

"I'm really behind on paperwork, how about if I get back to you on it." She asked.

She nodded her head. "Have you heard from Brooke or Lucas yet?" Peyton asked curiously

"No I haven't. I've left several messages and nothing in return. Jamie's even left a few and nothing."

"Must be something really important if they're not even contacting their godson."

"Peyton, they're just friends."

"If that was true, then why are they unreachable?" she asked. "I mean come on Hales, Brooke has never had time for a vacation nor turn off her cell phone for any reason. Clothes over Bros is her life."

Haley was quiet. "Well you and I both know that Brooke loved Angie like her own, and when she had to go home it broke her heart. I honestly just think that she's needing some time away from it all. Even if it's for a few days or weeks. I just hope that she's not broken."

"Yeah and if she is, it's a good thing that Luke's there right? I mean he's everyone's savor." she added a little irritated.

"Well you of all people should know how that feels since you always get the upper hand. Luke needs some saving himself and-"

"Well he should be here with me so I can help him" Peyton replied

"Look Peyton, I'm not trying to hurt you in any way but I'm just going to say it. "Did you ever think that maybe he needs a break from you?" she asked as Peyton's mouth dropped open. "He probably just figured that Brooke needed some saving and he did too, so why not do it together" she pointed out.

"Do you think they still have feelings for one another?" she asked

"I don't know. Let me ask you something though?" she said as Peyton made eye contact with her. "Hypotheically speaking, IF they were I'm just saying IF, what's going to happen between you three? Especially you and Brooke?"

"Why do you know something? You do, don't you Hales?" she asked worried. "Brooke would never do that to me especially since she knows I'm still in love with him."

"No, no. Don't be silly Peyton. I know as much as you do" she replied. "I'm jusy asking hypotheically."

Peyton sighed. "Well it's not like Luke and I are together so I guess he's fair game." she replied. "I don't know what's going to happen between us. I mean we've been through so much in the past we've all come a long way to put it behind us."

Haley nodded. "He's the reason you came home isn't it?"

"Yes" she replied. "I love him Haley, I do with all my heart and it hurts that Brooke may still be in love with him too." She replied. "I mean why else did she go on this trip with him. I just wished that I would have said yes back in LA when he proposed, and we'd be happy right now. No complications."

"What about Brooke's feelings? What "IF" she still has feelings for him or he has feelings for her? I mean she gave him to you twice, and you had your chance Peyton but you blew it" she said not really meaning for it to come out as harsh as it seems like by the looks from Peyton's face.

"Whose side are you on anyways Haley?" she lashed out. "I thought you wanted Lucas and I together?"

"I'm just asking as a friend. I mean Brooke is my friend too. I just don't want to see you either one of you get hurt. I'm just saying what happens if Lucas is still in love with Brooke? Are you going to be okay with it? Like she was okay with you two being together?"

Peyton stayed quiet. She never really thought about it that way, because Brooke was always pushing her to fight for Lucas. "I-I don't know. I might sound selfish and all, but I've never thought that would be an option." She replied.

"Why did you say no?" she asked "In LA?"

"I didn't technically say no. I told him I loved him and that we'd get married someday. I mean, he just showed up and everything was going so fast, and I got scared." She said sighing out frustrated. "I'm ready now, but I think it's too late."

"You don't know that Peyton" she said squeezing her shoulder.

"Yes I do. He said he hated me"

"He was drunk Peyton, and didn't you tell me that he apologized?" she asked questionably.

"Yeah, but it still hurts. He looks at me differently Haley. I know he still blames me for Lindsey leaving."

"We all know that it wasn't your fault she left. She was just unsecured about your past with Luke. You can't really blame her though you know."

"I know. I-I just thought that with her out of the picture now, he'd come back to me and we'd pick up our lives where we left off 4 years ago." She said sadly.

"Peyton, 4 years is a long time and people change, even if you are the Lucas Scott and Peyton Sawyer."

Haley's words stuck to her like nails on chalkboard as tears welded in her eyes. "How did things get so complicated?" she cried. "I just want to be with him. We connect, we belong. He used to feel the same way and now he's distancing himself from me."

"Before he left Peyton, I told him that he needs to stop hiding his heart from the person he truly loves. I told him to let love in and hopefully after this trip he'll realize who he wants standing next to him. Give him some time, some space you know. He just got left at the altar, and both his ex-girlfriends are back in town, as well as the fact that he got suspended from coaching for awhile, and there there's Angie who just left. He's a mess."

She nodded. "I guess you're right." She replied. "I miss him." She sighed.

"I know honey. We all do. What about Jake, Peyton? Does it make a difference that he's home?"

"I don't know Hales. I'm confused" she replied. "I've got a confession to make" she said looking at Haley."

"Confession? What about?" she asked.

...

Lucas was sitting down on the balcony in his robe courtesy of the hotel as he overlooked the city. He took a deep breath as he was lost in thought. He had his pretty girl back, his family and he and Peyton were on okay terms again. "Life couldn't be any better than this" he said bringing a smile to his face.

"I thought after last night and just now, you'd for sure wouldn't be brooding for awhile" she joked as she winked at him coming out in her matching robe.

"Come here" he said shaking his head smiling as she sat down in his lap. He wrapped his arms around her tightly as she snuggled against him.

"I can do this forever with you, you know" she said smiling as their fingers intertwined.

"I know, and we have our whole lives ahead of us pretty girl." he replied.

"What about Peyton?" she asked a little worried.

"What about her?" he asked still staring straight ahead.

"She still loves you Luke, those feelings are just going to go away. I can't help but think that we're making a mistake." she sighed. "I-I can't relive High school anymore"

"I already told you" he said talking into her ear. "I'm in love with you Pretty girl; you are the one in my heart. Like I told you back in high school that night on the beach, I'm the guy for you so Peyton is going to have to accept that.

"And if she can't?"

"I don't care if she can't handle it. I'm not going to let you get away from me again."

Brooke sighed.

"Pretty girl, do you trust me?" he asked talking into her ear as he kissed her check.

"More than you'll ever know boyfriend" she replied

"Good, then trust me about this. I want a future with you and I want to have a baby someday with you" he said as his hands sat on her tummy. "Okay?"

"Okay" she said smiling as she turned around and kissed him passionately. "I'll tell her as soon as we get home"

"If you want, we could do it together" he replied.

"Thank you, but I really think I should do it on my own. I don't know how well she's going to take it" she replied with guilt riding over her.

"Are you sure? I could be there for moral support."

"I love you for it Luke, but I need to be the one to tell her. We've all been through so much. Are you sure this is what you want?" she asked as she turns to face him.

"Oh pretty girl," he said as his hands cupped her face "my heart belongs to you and only you"

"So this is it? Me and you?" she said as tears begin to weld in her eyes

"This is it, me and you"

"Good, because I don't think I can handle another heart ache" she cried chuckling

"I can't either. I promise you, it's me and you" he replied as he kissed her

She nodded as she relaxed back into his arms. "How mad do you think everyone is at us?" she asked worried.

"I'd say, pretty mad" he chuckled. "When do you want to tell every about us?" he asked

"I don't know. How about when the timing is right?"

"Baby there's no need to hide it. I swear everyone will be excited for us." he replied

"I know, but I want Peyton to be the first one to know first."

"Okay" he replied. "Whatever you want"

"Broody" she said

"Hmmm?" he replied

"I-I know that we said we'd wait till we got to the airport before we turned on her phones" she said now turning to face him

"Go on" he replied smiling as he brushed a piece of hair behind her ear

"I love you broody" she exclaimed happily as she tapped his nose; then took off to retrieve her phone.

…

"Hey Skillz" Nate said as they did their guy handshake.

"Nate dawg what's up?"

"Uncle Skillz" Jamie shouted as he gave him a hug.

"What's going on little man?"

"Where are the rest of the guys Uncle Skillz?" Jamie asked

"They're on their way. They had to drag mouth out of bed."

"Oh okay" said Jamie as he ran off to play.

"Not too far Jamie" he yelled. "Mouth still hung over?" Nate chuckled.

"For sho. He swore no more drinking for awhile."

Nate laughed.

"So any news on Luke?"

"No, he still hasn't called."

"Luke and B.Davis, you think?" SKillz asked "I mean it's cool and all cuz B.Davis always made him happy. I'm worried about him Nate. Suspended for 5 more games, he's going to need all B.Davis he can get" he chuckled

"Ewwww Skillz, she's like a sister to me" shouted Nate.

"I'm just saying. Whatever makes a brother happy right? He just has to decide if he wants Cheery or Goldielocks."

"I know, he can't just string them both around. I have a feeling though that he'll have his choice made out by the time he comes home."

"Pass me the ball Nate" he said as he shoots a 3 pointer.

"Nice! So how's Quentin doing in practice? I haven't seen nor heard from him for a few days, which isn't normal"

"He's doing great in practice. Still cocky as ever knowing he's one of the best players on the team. He finally has his head on straight after Luke talked some sense into him as well as tutor wife in class and of course working with you."

"He's a good kid, but definitely cocky" Nate added

"Reminds me a lot like someone I know dawg" replied Skillz laughing

"Shut up man. You should be thankful I met Haley" he joked

"Dawg I am, I think we all are"

Nate chuckles as he slam dunks the ball, leaving Skillz beyond speechless.

"I'm baaaack!" shouted Nate as Skillz and him man hugged just as the rest of the guys walked up, with their mouths dropped open.

"Did you-" asked Mouth

"Did he-?"asked Fergie

"Yeah he did" said Junk as Jamie ran up to high five all of them

…

Brooke grabbed her note book as she sat down at the dining room table with a pen in her hand. She closed her eyes as she took a deep breath.

"Pretty girl, what are you doing?" Lucas chuckled as he walked in on her starring at her black berry.

"I-I'm afraid to retrieve my messages" she said not taking her eyes away from her black berry. "I-I've never been away from the office before let alone be unreachable." She said kicking herself for listening to Lucas about leaving and turning her phone off.

"You'll be fine. I'm going to get changed while you check your messages"

She nodded her head

"Baby, we have about 3 hours before we have to get to the airport and check out is in about 1hour. You think you could be ready by then?"

"Yeah, no problem" she replied as she hit "TALK"-"You have 15 messages." She heard as she winced.

"Hales- "Brooke Penelope Davis! How could you not tell me that you were accompanying Luke on his trip?? I expected this from LUKE to keep it from me but not from you TIGGER!! I had to hear it from Peyton who by the way is not very happy nor thrilled about your mini get-away! On another note, did Angie get home safely? How are you by the way? I know that you're in good hands since you're with my lameO best friend/brother in law but I'm still worried about you. Oh yeah, your god son wanted to see you both. Call me back as soon as you get this msg. Love you Tigger-Hales. Hales,

Millie- Brooke, its Millicent I just wanted to let you know that everything at the Store is going great so far so you have nothing to worry about. I also wanted to let you know that Victoria stopped by looking for you. You'll be proud to hear that I actually stood up to her probably just angering her even more, but I have a feeling that she maybe sticking around until you get back. I have no idea why but she I also have a feeling that she will or already has called you so beware. Alright, hope you're having fun where ever you are and I'll see you when you get back. Marvin says hello. Millie, Millie,

Victoria, she sighs. "Great what can she possible want?"-"Brooke, its' Victoria. I stopped by the store today and ran into your incompetent assistant. Looks like you're still running Clothes over Bros into the ground since our fall out. We need to talk, so when you get this msg you know what to do." Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Hales,

Peyton- "Brooke its' Peyton. Why didn't you tell me that you went on a weekend get away with Luke? My Luke? If I may add." She asked upset not even asking about Angie or how Brooke was doing. "You should have told me. Call me back as soon as you get this message." She called me once and never asked how I was doing" she said as she sighed.

Nate- "So you and Brooke Davis huh big bro?" Nathan laughed. "Looks like Jamie was right about his Uncle Luke and his Auntie Brooke? Haha. Well other then the fact that you've both managed to piss off Hales, I think it's kind of cool that you took B.Davis with you. Less drama, oh wait I forgot that the curly blonde known as Peyton Sawyer isn't so happy with your little ron-da-vu of a trip you both have going on even though it's probably PG and all. You know that your god son has been asking about you both. Way to let him down guys! Could have at least checked out with him. To think we expected more!" Nathan said with a smirk. "Oh I still have to talk to you about Dan so call me back!" Nate. Brooke laughs as she shakes her head. "Got to love Nate"

"Baby, call Nate- He says it's very important" she yelled as Lucas stuck his head out to look at her. "Okay" she heard him yell as he walked over and grabbed his phone.

Jamie- "Hi Aunt Brooke its' Jamie. I know you're sad right now because Angie had to go home, but you still have me. I promise you I won't leave you. I miss you. When are you and Uncle Lucas coming home? I hope you bring me something good to make up for being away for so long. "Awww Jamie"

"Jamie -But mama, Aunt Brooke always brings me something good." He said as he kept the phone at his mouth but talking to Haley at the same time. "Okay I just wanted to say I miss you. Please call me or just come by because I want to see you. Chester misses you too. I love you. Here you go mama" Jamie said as he handed her the phone now running to go play." She couldn't help but laugh at her adorable god son. The list continues-

Clothes over Bros Head Quarters/Corporations- "Uh-Oh, this isn't good. Why is the Corp Office calling me?" she asked frantically."Brooke it's April. Calling you Friday the 11th at about 2:45pm. Macys wants to us to put together a fashion show as well as see new sketches for fall. This is big! I need to hear from you ASAP! The cooperation has contacted Victoria Davis as well as your personal assistant Milliecent who has informed us you fired Victoria. We need direction here so please contact the office as soon as possible. We will need you to come back to New York to meet with the design team. - April

Millie- Brooke you probably just got a message from the Corp. Office. They need to talk to you ASAP and it doesn't look good that we're leaving them hanging. Please call me back as soon as you can. I'm stressing out here without you."

Hales-"I hope you know that your mailbox is completely full. Lucky for you Tiger, that I can't leave any more messages. Call me back."

There were about 10 more messages or so that she didn't get too. As soon as she heard "Clothes over Bros Corp Office" she dialed Millie right away.

"Come on, come on Millie pick up" she said anxiously. "I shouldn't have turned off my phone damn it!" she cursed. "Millie's stressed, Haley's so mad, Peyton's pissed off, Jamie, poor Jamie; thinks his aunt and Uncle abandon him, Nate; silly Nate, Victoria-UGH!" she yelled "Why is Corp Office calling?" she wondered.

"Brooke!" exclaimed Millie as she picked up the phone now walking into the store.
