The next morning:

The next morning Peyton woke up early. She had agreed to meet Brooke, Haley, and Jenny at Karen's Café for breakfast and then a day at the spa.

Peyton was the first one there, she sat down and ordered a cup of coffee. It was too early, so Karen wasn't in yet, but Deb was.

"Peyton Sawyer, I have not seen you for a long time"

"Hey Deb, I didn't know you would be here this early, I am just waiting for Brooke, Haley, and Jenny. We are having a spa day"

"Sounds nice, hows the wedding planning going?"

"How did you know that Lucas and I were engaged?"

"Honey, Karen couldn't keep her mouth shut, she told me a few minutes after it happened"

"Oh god, I thought at least we would have a little while till everyone wanted to start planning the wedding""

"It is never too early to start planning a wedding"

"We haven't even picked a date or location. I mean I have no idea if we should get married in California, where we have friends, or in Tree Hill, where our family and childhood friends are"

"Ok, so there is some stuff to work out before you start planning, but work them out soon, I want to plan. Nathan and Haley robbed me of planning their wedding"

Deb walked away to help some other customers while Peyton sat there still laughing. She didn't even hear Haley, and Brooke walk in.

"What's so funny?" Haley asked?

"Deb. She is already excited about planning my wedding"

"Yeah I know, she didn't get to plan ours that's why. We were thinking about renewing out vows so she could plan a wedding, but because you got engaged, we were thinking now we don't need to. I have a feeling that Deb and Karen are going to go crazy planning this wedding"

"I have the same feeling"

"But don't let them do too much!" Brooke started "We want to help plan the wedding also"

"Don't worry, there will be tons of planning for everyone. Luke and I have to first decide where and when to get married"

While they were talking Jake and Jenny walked in. Jake noticed that Brooke was there and decided that this might be a good time to talk to her. Jenny noticed everyone and walked up to them. Jake approached Brooke who was sitting at the counter by herself.

"Hey Brooke"

"Hey Jake"

"I was wondering if you wanted to maybe get dinner with me tonight. Jenny is staying with Nathan and Haley so I am going to be all alone"

"Sure, I have no plans. Is getting dinner ok?"

"Perfect you saved me from eating out alone"

Jake had decided before talking to Brooke that he wanted to keep everything casual.

Jake left and all the girls head out to the spa.

Haley and Brooke decided to get pedicures while Peyton and Jenny got massages. This was the perfect time for Peyton to talk about Jenny. She was not sure how to approach the topic, but Jenny beat her to the punch.

"Peyton I know we aren't that close anymore, but I was wondering if I could talk to you about something personal"

"You can talk to me about anything"

"Ok so I have been dating this guy for a little while… ummm…."

"Its ok Jenny you can ask me anything"

"How did you know Lucas was the right one"

"The right one? To marry?"

"No"

"Oh, well, Lucas and I had been dating for awhile. Lucas decided that for our date we would go to a movie and get dinner. Only instead he changed our plans. It was during the summer so we decided to go to the beach. Lucas informed me that we were going to be staying at the beach house, but there was no pressure there at all. We had spent the night together just snuggling many times before. All through the day he seemed nervous, but still it was a perfect day, the sun was shining, the water was warm. Half way through the day Nathan and Haley joined us. They had just been married and were in a state of bliss, paying attention to only each other. Finally Luke got Nathan to go into the water with him, leaving some alone time with Haley for some "girl chat". We were both sitting there reading magazines and talking about the lovely Scott brothers when they decided to be mean and picked us up and threw us in the water. We played in the water for a while long, and then went and got something to eat. By the time we got back the sun was setting. Lucas and I sat on the porch of the beach house watching the sun set in each others arms. I will never forget that moment. We decided to make dinner at the beach house. That was the night I also found out that Lucas was a great cook. He made Linguine with Clams, and we sat and ate that. For dessert we had chocolate covered strawberries, something I have always loved as a dessert. We decided to watch some TV. We went to the couch and I snuggled into Lucas, after awhile of watching TV, I leaned in to kiss him and we started to heavily make out. One thing lead to another, and you know where this is heading. We went upstairs, to the bedroom and started making out again. This time though Luke pulled away. I was not sure what was wrong. I thought maybe he was scared or something. All of a sudden he got a very serious look in his eyes I was worried something was seriously wrong, he was starting to scare me. All of a sudden he spoke, "Peyt, I love you". He said it, and I knew he was not uttering those sacred words just because he wanted to get me in bed, he was saying them because he meant it. That night, we made love, and fell asleep peacefully."

"Wow, that is such a good story, so romantic and sweet"

"Jenny, is that what you could not talk to your dad about. Why you have been acting so distant?"

"Yes, See, he knows about Matt, my boyfriend, but I am not sure if he knows how serious we actually are. All the time my dad talks about getting pregnant and having sex young, I mean I guess he has a right to talk about it, he has experience. I am afraid he is going to look down on me if I do have sex. I mean I love Matt, and he loves me, I know I am ready"

"Jenny, talk to your dad, I think you are going to be surprised to what he has to say, remember your right he has been there before. My only suggestion, is make sure you are careful and also that you do love him. I would hate for your first time to be with someone you regret"

"Is that how it was for you?"

"Nathan and I dated for a long time, I don't regret anything, except maybe the fact that I could not experience my first time with Lucas"

"Jenny just be careful, that is all I am going to ask, and make sure it is the right guy. You know you can talk to me about anything, any time"

"Thanks Peyton, just promise not to tell anyone ok?

After the conversation the two of them relaxed for a little while longer, making small talk, till Brooke and Haley were done with their pedicures.

When everyone was done with their first round to treatments, they all enjoyed lunch together. This time Brooke and Jenny went to get a mud bath while Peyton and Haley went for a seaweed wrap.

"Jenny, how would you feel about your dad dating again?"

"I don't know, I have never thought about it, it has never come up, why?"

"Well your dad kind of asked me out to dinner tonight, since you are going to be with Nate and Hales, but if it makes you feel uncomfortable, I would never want to do it"

"No Brooke, it would be perfect, I actually have to say I sometimes feel bad, and think he gets lonely"

"Ok, well just to tell you what is going on, we are going out to dinner tonight I think"

"Sounds ok, but I do need to ask you this question, what are your intentions with my father?"

"My, my, what a little mother you have become" Brooke says while laughing. "I want to date your father, I do have to admit in highschool I had a big crush on him, he is so adorable especial with you, and then way he treats everyone, he is so caring"

"Ok, as long as you don't break his heart"

"I promise, we will see where tonight leads us"

Meanwhile back with Peyton and Haley

"So Peyt, it has been over 24 hours, the start of wedding planning can begin"

"Oh no, not you too Hales"

"You bet your ass, I want to help plan the wedding"

"Haley I don't even know when or where we are going to get married yet"

"What do you mean, where? Of course you are going to get married in Tree Hill, you have to. That is where Nathan and I got married"

"Tree Hill would be nice, I mean that is where we met, grew up, and also fell in love. Now that I am thinking of it, maybe getting married out on the beach, near the beach house would be great, at sunset"

"Very romantic, plus if I remember correctly, isnt that the place that you guys first proclaimed your love for each other"

"yes"

"Ok, so how about we start planning the wedding in few days, after you and Lucas get a chance to talk things ok"

"Sounds good, but I have to let Deb and Karen do some work as well"

"Fine, they can plan some, but for sure Brooke and I get to plan the bachlorette party, that is going to be so much fun, plus anyways you got to plan Nathan and mine's reception"

"Oh yes, good times back in highschool"
