Chapter 4- Driving
Lucas yawned tiredly. They were somewhere between Florida and New
Orleans. It was close to midnight. Peyton looked up from her book. The
small book light shining. "You okay Luc? Want me to drive?" Lucas said
"Nope I'm fine for now." Peyton smiled and said, "Alright just let me
know when." Haley and Nathan were curled up in the back seat asleep
together. Lucas had been driving since about ten. Peyton turned on the
radio and asked Lucas "Are you having a good time so far?" Lucas
smiled "Yea I am actually. I mean I knew I would with you but I was a
bit wary about Nathan and I. but honestly I'm having a great time with
him." He remembered a few days back. They had stopped in a small town.
They were having some sort of summer festival, Nathan and Lucas had
entered the two-on-two tournament and had won the entire thing. Their
plaque was sitting in the back window. He smiled at the memory. Peyton
was saying, "I'm glad Lucas. You two deserve to be happy with all the
crap Dan put you two through!" Lucas sighed and didn't say anything.
Peyton cleared her throat and changed the subject "It was good to see
Jake!" Lucas smiled "Yea it was. I'm glad he's flying out to
California to come with us for a few days!" "Me too!" Lucas used his
free hand to hold Peyton's. He intertwined their fingers and she gave
his hand a small squeeze. Lucas continued driving. He saw their exit
and turned off. Peyton got out of the car to go and check in at their
hotel. Lucas got the map out, they were still about one hundred miles
out of New Orleans. He was mapping out their course when Peyton
marched angrily out to the car. She said in a very loud and upset
voice "They said we aren't here. In any of our names! I even tried
Haley Scott! The rude man said he wouldn't even give us a room for the
night! Jackass!" Haley woke up and asked "What in the hell is going on
here?" Nathan stirred but only turned over slightly a grin on his
face. "They told Peyton we don't have a reservation." Haley said "Uh
that would be my fault. Sorry guys. I thought I had, I guess I didn't"
Lucas shrugged "No big deal Hales, just wake that boy of yours up so
he drive." Haley said "Alright but it won't be an easy task." Peyton
laughed and said "Humor us!" Haley tried everything, she tickled him,
she smacked his arm, finally she leaned over and gave him a kiss. A
long slow kiss. He suddenly jerked upright and said "What's the
emergency?" All three of them burst out laughing. "Welcome to the
world of the living Nate." Haley said laughing. Lucas asked "Wanna
take over the wheel?" Nathan shrugged "Sure." He and Haley got out as
Peyton and Lucas got settled in the back. Nathan drove, after a few
miles he turned around and asked "You two want something to eat?" No
reply came from the back because they were both curled up together
sleeping.
