Chapter 11: A Few Weeks Later

Peyton walked sleepily down to the kitchen where her father was sitting reading a newspaper. She gently rubbed her eyes and sat down in front of a plate of pancakes. 'Morning sweetie' Peyton wasn't fully awake and so she mumbled hello. Larry knew this, his daughter wasn't the greatest conversationalist in the morning, and she never had been. He left her in silence for 5 minutes before trying to get any form of speak other than mumbling out of her. 'So what have you got planned for today?' Larry could see his daughter perk up almost immediately before his eyes. Lucas. She didn't even need to see it, he just knew before hand. 'I'm going to play mini golf with Lucas, Haley and Nathan, we're playing teams.' 'Sounds fun honey.' 'Oh it will be, me and Lucas are gonna kick serious butt today.' Larry just smiled, she always perked up when she mentioned Lucas, or Haley for that fact. He had met Haley and liked her; she was a nice girl and obviously a good friend to Peyton. Obviously he would always hold a special place for Brooke; she was almost like another daughter considering she was always here.

Peyton glanced at her watch, 'Dad I gotta go get ready, Lucas will be here in 10 minutes' and with that she bounced off upstairs to get a shower and get changed. A few minutes later she appeared again, looking as cute as ever and kissed her father's head, 'Lucas is outside, I'll be home at about 10 because we're gonna grab dinner too, I love you daddy' 'Love you too honey, have fun.' He was surprised; Peyton's mood was better than it had ever been recently, she was happy. He was also surprised because as much as she spent time with Lucas, she was always home when she said she would be, she still spent as much time with her friends as she did before and she spent time with her father. Most teenage girls would just ignore everyone and spend time with their boyfriend alone, not his little girl; she was considerate of everyone around her.

Lucas walked over and got into Lucas' car, giving him a tender kiss before they started to move. 'So you ready to put Hales and Nathan to shame today?' Peyton grinned, 'Yeah, we're gonna kick some major ass today.' 'Damn right', they both laughed and the rest of the short journey was spent in the same way, talking and laughing between each other. Everything was easy with them, they were completely comfortable, and nothing was forced.

Nathan and Haley were already there when Lucas and Peyton arrived and Nathan was looking competitive as ever as Lucas walked over to embrace him. Peyton immediately walked over to Haley and the girls just laughed as their respective boyfriends jokingly squared up to each other. 'Aren't you glad we're not that sad?' laughed Peyton as Haley just looked on at the two. 'They're brothers, I'm guessing by the end of the day we'll be breaking up a fight.' Peyton laughed and walked over to talk to Nathan as Lucas walked over to hug Haley. 'Hey dude, ready to lose?' Nathan smirked, 'Against you and Lucas? I'll never be ready for that.' Peyton laughed and punched his arm playfully. 'Ok, since you and Lucas are the competitive ones how about you two take on me and Haley?' Haley looked shocked but smirked at the same time. 'Yeah, how about it, Peyt and I could take the two of you anyway.' Before Nathan could answer Lucas jumped in, 'You're on, and Peyt, don't get moody when you lose.' Peyton laughed and rolled her eyes before grabbing Haley's hand, 'Come on' and with that they walked into the park.

They were 5 holes into the game and the guys were winning, much to their happiness. Lucas and Nathan were repeatedly doing a victory dance every time they sunk a shot, to which the girls rolled their eyes. The game was getting to the half way point and the guys were still leading and playing it up well. 'Haley, we can't lose to them, I'm not going to dinner with two smug faced guys.' 'Well what do you suggest?' Haley smirked, knowing Peyton probably had something planned, she could always tell. 'I say we play dirty, we're good shots and so we just have to distract them once a hole.' 'How do you suggest we distract them? Nathan won't let himself be distracted.' Peyton thought about it and simply stated, 'we're girls, and we have that to our advantage.' The girls both smirked and walked over to take their first shot. It was good, Lucas was up first for the guys and so in a way she was up too.

Peyton sauntered over to where Lucas was getting himself ready and Haley watched on to get an idea of how to distract Nathan when it came to his turn. Peyton walked over and whispered something in his ear as he was taking a shot. He shivered slightly and hit the ball in the complete opposite direction of where he meant to. Haley and Peyton both giggled as Haley took her shot and putted it. Nathan and Lucas looked bewildered, what just happened?

Peyton took the first shot on the next hole and again gave Haley a perfect placement for her shot. The girls high fived and Nathan came up to take his shot. Peyton gently nudged Haley and she grinned as she approached Nathan. Peyton kept Lucas occupied so that he wouldn't see Nathan be distracted by Haley. Haley walked over and started placing sensual kisses on Nathan's neck, and gently bit his ear, completely taking his focus off the shot and he blew it like Lucas had done before. The girls both grinned widely and high-fived before Haley took her shot a putted again. Nathan and Lucas were completely confused as to what was happening but they couldn't help but let themselves be distracted every time the girls came over and they eventually lost.

'You know winning doesn't count if you're cheating.' Stated Nathan as he was still in shock that they actually lost to their girls. 'Being bitter gets you nowhere besides we didn't cheat, you two should've tried focusing on your game.' Peyton laughed as she said this, knowing full well what she and Haley had been doing to Lucas and Nathan all game. She didn't care though, it was a priceless moment when they lost. 'Concentrate on our game? That was a bit difficult considering the things you girls were doing to us.' Peyton and Haley laughed as Peyton walked over to Lucas. She moved gently to his ear to whisper huskily, 'And what exactly was I doing to you?' Lucas began to close him eyes over, which made Peyton grin until he snapped out of it and shouted, 'That'. Haley and Peyton laughed as they linked arms and walked back to the cars.
