Lucas pushed back from her, "I didn't come here for this, I stayed to make sure you would be okay," he looked at her.

Peyton sat up, ran a hand through her unruly curls, "Lucas Scott refusing to make out, what's wrong with you?" she scoffed.

"Nothing, I just don't want to right now," he looked out the window to avoid her eyes.

"Okay, whatever," snuggling back into his arms, she looked at up at his silhouetted profile. "I'm not trying to sound like a sleazy ho, I just thought it was something we both wanted, I mean we've been there before."

Exhaling lightly, Lucas turned to look at her, "I do want you, I just don't want it to be all about the physical this time, I want more than that. I wish we could go back to before all the drama happened between you, me and Brooke."

Laying her head on his heart, "I know, it's just drama seems to rule our lives, but I would like to take it slowly too." Burrowing against him deeper, she sighed, "This is nice."

Lucas snuggled under the blankets with her, embracing her as he slipped back into the realm of sleep.

Saturday morning

"Wake up best friend, I've come to feed you, get up and get dressed, we're going out---" Brooke screamed when she pulled off the blanket and saw Lucas in Peyton's bed.

"Damn girlie, next time you've got a man over, leave a sock on the door, so I know to knock at least," Brooke rambled on.

"What are you muttering about, it's ungodly early, let me sleep," Peyton mumbled sleepily, pulling at the sheet to cover herself, feeling a lean body instead.

Opening her eyes, last night came flooding back, Lucas taking her home, their little "session" and then snuggling back under the covers together. Looking at Brooke, who was standing there, hands on hips, waiting for an answer.

"I had a splitting headache and he drove me home, the power went out and he stayed over," she tried to explain.

"Cool, cool," Brooke sauntered over to Peyton's window and ripped open the curtains.

Luke stirred, "Come on Mom, just 5 more minutes," he hugged the pillow tighter.

"Luke, you're not at home," Peyton poked him.

Luke opened one eye, he saw Peyton's radiant beauty, last night flooded his mind. "Oh."

"Yeah, Brooke's here to make us breakfast, so let's get up," Peyton rolled out of bed and sat on the edge.

"Brooke's going to cook?" Lucas opened his eyes, looking at her disbelievingly.

"No, we're going out for pancakes, it's a thing of mine and Peyt's. I guess you can join us." Brooke rolled her eyes in false annoyance.

"I should swing by my house and pick up my clothes, how about Peyton and I meet you at Charlie's Pancake House in half an hour?" Luke suggested to Brooke.

"Okay." Brooke walked to the door, turning back to Peyton. "Details later," she smiled at Luke as she said it.

Peyton nodded and stumbled over to her closet.

"Details about?" Luke asked, pulling his clothes back on.

"Girl's stuff," Peyton replied huskily, tugging on a pair of pants and a tank, shoving her feet into sandals.

Charlie's Pancake House

Brooke sat at a table waiting for them, a pink tank outlined curvy breasts, blue jeans clung to slender legs, black chunky sandals completed the look.

Peyton walked ahead of Luke to the table, Luke's muscles rippled under a blue shirt, blue jeans and scuffed sneakers completed the look.

After they'd ordered, Brooke eyed both of them across the table. Luke sat in the corner and Peyton sat next to him. "So what are you guys going to do today?" she asked.

"I don't know," Peyton looked at Lucas.

"I'm hanging out with Nathan, want to join us?" Brooke asked.

"You're hanging out with Nathan, since when are you two friends?" Peyton looked at her disbelievingly.

"Since last night?" Brooke smiled naughtily.

"What happened?" Peyton leaned in for the juicy details.

Brooke whispered in her ear, "Wow how sweet," Peyton got a dreamy look in her eyes.

"I know right, he's so perfect, anyway, we're hanging out as friends, I think it'll be fun, if you guys want to come, it would be great," Brooke said as their pancakes arrived.

"Sure," Peyton said, looking at Luke.

"Sure, playing basketball with my bro should be fun." They all started eating.
