Chapter 3
The two women stopped and looked up. "Nathan, Lucas, what are you doing here?" Peyton asked. "Uh, our bus broke down passing through town coincedently," Lucas told her. Nathan stared at Haley who's face was pale. She finally said, "I..I..I have to go," running out the door with the little boy. Lucas walked up to Peyton, huggedd her and kissed her on the cheek, "How are you?" "Good, Jake proposed last weekend," she told him holding up her hand, "and he should be here any minute." "That's awesome Pey! Whats wrong with Haley?" he whispered the last part. She mouthed 'later' to him when Jake walked in the door holding the hand of Jenny who was now 7.
"Luke! whats up man?" the two guys slapped hands. "Nothin much bus broke down," he squatted down to Jenny's eye level, "Hey Jenny, I bet you don't remember me do you." She looked shyly and squinted, "Uncle Lucas?" "Yeah," he smiled and she through her arms around his neck. He picked her up and stood back up turning to his team as Nathan walked up and kissed Peyton on the cheek and shook hands with Jake. Lucas said, "Ok guys this is Peyton Sawyer, both of ours ex-girlfriend, don't ask. And this is her fiancee Jake Jagelski who played basketball with us in highschool. This is his daughter Jenny and she's 7." "Hey," they all said.
They chatted and hung out with the team for a while until Jake announced Jenny had school the next day and he had work. That left just the team in the cafe when the coach spoke up, "Scott any hotels here?" Nathan spoke and said, "Yeah, the Hyatt, its nice." "Uh okay and one last thing do you know of any places we could practice tommorow?" Lucas and Nathan smiled at each other and said simultaineously, "Oh yeah. We'll show you tommorow." The team laughed because it was a commom occurance that they spoke at the same time saying the same thing.
Lucas and Nathan both kissed Karen goodbye and the team walked to the hotel and got rooms.
