Chapter 11 THINKING ABOUT

"And here's your present Lucas." Dan opened the door of Anna's house, there was perfectly good motocyle outside. "Dad! It's great!" Lucas grabbed his jacket and ran outside, Peyton, Anna and Dan followed.

"I'll take it for a ride." He sat on the motocyle. "Wanna come?" He asked Peyton giving her the extra helmet. Peyton looked at Anna."No, honey."

Peyton smiled and sat behind Lucas. "See ya." They drow off, on not snowing Christmas day. "Don't worry, he got his lincence back in Iowa." Dan tried to calm Anna.

It was really late, Christmas passed and so was her second date with Jake. She was still in short dress she decide to wear, sitting on the kitchen table. "Hey." Lucas walked in, wearing only his pjama bottoms.

"Hey." Peyton replayed shortly. "How was date?" Lucas asks her as he opens the fridge. "Good." Peyton replays. If it was me instead of him it would be great. He fastly shakes that thought away.

"You shoudn't be with a guy like that Blondie." Lucas told her. "Oh really and why's that Scott?" Peyton asked as she raised her eyebrow

"Cause you wore short dress for him."

"Excuse me?"

"You shoudn't be showing off you legs, no matter how amazing they are, in December for him." Lucas told her. "You need someone who will love you, even when you don't wear such hard make up." He looked straight into her eyes.

"You know, what I don't need is, your advice Scott." Peyton jumped off the table as was about to walk away.

"That's one fine ass Sawyer." He said, not even realizing. She turned around and hide the fact that she smiled."You just made sexual comment about your stepsister. You're gross." She went upstairs.

Haley and Peyton were laying in Haley's bedroom, going through pages of People. "I'm so glad we finally found time. I missed this, just being lazy with you." Peyton smiled to her best friend.

"I did too. I love this, and I also love these boots you got for me." Haley looked over to the corner of the room where her new boots where.

"Well, it was pretty easy. You kept talking about them, on and on." Peyton laughed, Haley's phone vibrate. "Booty call?" Peyton grins.

Haley sticks her tounge out as she reads the message. "You are becoming female Lucas Scott, I swear." Haley commented, look of Peyton's face made her laugh.

"It's from Nathan. Rachel is having summer New Years Eve party, which means we are hanging out by the pool in swim suits. He wants us to come." Haley informs her. "Jake'll be there." Haley winked at Peyton, Peyton blushed and gently hit Haley with the magazine.

"Hales..." Peyton became serious. "I don't think I like him that much." And she was truly sad about it, Jake was almost perfect. Only thing missing was sparks, damn you Lucas.

Haley hugged her. "Aww, honey. Give it some time." She smiled gently. "Unless...you wanna be with Luke."

"NO!" Peyton got off the bed. "That's most ridicouls thing ever." Then she put her shoes on, "Well, I'll leave you now. Mom said we'll watch Sex and City together. The two of us, I don't want to miss out. Love you." Peyton said before she left Haley's room.

"We are partying like crazy lately." Skills told Peyton as their entered the pool. "We are the team." Peyton smiled and hugged him.

"Remember this?" Skills asked before he jumped into the pool with her hands around his neck.

Lucas and Rachel entered at that moment. "You are beautiful." Lucas told Rachel and then he kissed her cheek, holding her hand. She grabed two martinis and gave him one, they sat down.

"We are kinda drifting apart lately, but I think we can work it out." Rachel told him, Lucas' eyes went to Peyton who was playing like a kid with Skills in the pool. "To us." They both drinked some, Rachel kissed him. Lucas could felt Peyton's eyes on him, he pulled away. "Let's dance."

And so they got up and started to dance, Haley and Nathan were already dancing. "I never imagined celebrating New Year in switsuit." Haley told him honestly.

"You don't like it?" Nathan asked, Lucas was struggiling near them. It was a balade and Rachel's head was on his shoulder. It felt good, but it didn't felt right. Peyton was drinking with Skills, ignoring him most of the time. But he caught her watching him few times.

"No, it's not that." Haley shaked her head. "It's just different. Things are different since I'm with you. Positively different." Nathan didn't respond, he smiled and leaned in to kiss her.

"Look at them." Rachel said with her hands around Luke's neck. "They are dangerously in love." Lucas kissed Rachel's forehead. Song ended.

"B.o.B." Skills told to Peyton, taking her hand. "Who?" Peyton asked. "Shup up and come, skinny girl." They started to dance. DJ stopped the song, something went wrong.

"You." Rachel pointed on Skills. "You should be DJ, come with me, I'll talk you throught it." Rachel dragged him before he said anything. Music was back on.

Lucas looked at Peyton and Peyton looked at Lucas. Lucas pointed on both of them, Peyton shrugged her shoulders and they started dancing.

there's no much nonsenseit's on my conscience

I'm thinking baby I should get it outand

I don't wanna sound redundantbut

I was wondering if there was something that you wanna know(that you wanna know)

but never mind that we should let it go (we should let it go)

cause we don't wanna be a t.v episode (t.v episode)

and all the bad thoughts just let them go (go, go, go, go)

Lyrics where...wow. They ignored how much they meant, but their eyes could lie, they never stopped looking at each other.

beautiful girls all over the world

I could be chasing but my time would be wasted

they got nothin' on you baby

nothing on you baby

they might say hi and I might say hey

but you shouldn't worry about what they say

"I need a drink." Peyton coudn't take it anymore. He shoudn't be with Rachel and she shoudn't be with Jake. She crossed her arms as she ran to get a drink, she hit someone. "I'm sorry."

She looked up, it was Rachel, she helped her get up. "Luke's stepsister, right?" Rachled asked and Peyton's stomach turned. "Yeah, you alright?" She asked. "I'm okay."

"Let me buy you a drink, I'm sorry I bumped into you." They both started walking towards drinks, Peyton ordered whiskey from the bartender. "Whiskey, I like you. Give me gin tonic." Rachel smiled.

everywhere I go I'm always hearing your name (name, name)

and no matter where I'm at, girl you make me wanna sang (sang,sang)

whether a bus or a plane or a car or a train

no other girls on my brain and you're the one to blame

"Lucas and I are kind of rocky lately. He really seams like he's somewhere else in his mind." Peyton bite her down lip, last thing she wanted was to listen about Lachel (:D) problems as Lucas stares at her.

"It will work out." She had no idea what to say. "Let's drink to that." Rachel said and they finished their drinks. "I never got a boy before who gets cold on me, I mean look at me..." Rachel kept talking.

"Rachel." Peyton cut her off. "I'm sorry girl, I have to go to bathroom." Peyton walked away, all the apologizing she did, deep in her mind she knew she was apologizing for the kisses Lucas and her shared. It was wrong, but it felt. She closed the bathroom door. It felt good.

She had no idea whole long has she been in the bathroom, but with one last deep breathe and she walked out. He won't ruin her New Years Eve. "Hello there, stranger." Jake shows up, she smiles kindly.

Peyton hugs him, she doesn't want to see Lucas anywhere. "Jake. It's so good to have you here." He puts his hands around her hips and smiles. "I love being with you." And he kisses her cheek.

They should have ended foreplay by now but he can't get Peyton out of his mind. He's here with Rachel, but he thinks about his wife. "Something wrong, baby?" Rachel asks as she get up from her knees.

"No, it's fine." And he preforms, but not minute of it he wasn't thinking about the girl with him. He kept replacing red hair with blond, he kept saying to himself there are green eyes looking at him, not brown. He coudn't stop thinking about her, not for one minute.
