He gently intertwines his fingers with hers. Her soft steady breathing makes him smile at the beautiful female resting beside him. In his bed. Who would have thought? The beautiful blonde curl falls into her face and suddenly her eyes flutter open, as she brings the covers closer to her.
"Jake…"
"Sh…." He tells her.
She smiles as he pulls the strand of hair back into its rightful place.
"Is Jenny asleep?" she whispers.
He nods, and smiles again at her gorgeous face. Jake takes his arm and pulls Peyton closer to him, together they both lie wrapped in each other.
"So…last night?" she says.
It was inevitable; it had been on both of their minds. But now, suddenly, both squirmed to answer. Post-sex conversations had never really been Peyton's thing.
"Was excellent," he says.
"No argument there," she says lightly. "The music was a nice touch."
He smiles. "That was all for you."
"How'd you know you were going to get lucky?" she asks grinning. His smile suddenly fades and he suddenly becomes very serious.
"I never knew I would get this lucky," he whispers, tucking another stray lock of hair behind her eye. She stares at him, searching his eyes, trying to figure out his faults, because as far she could see he had none. And frankly that scares her.
"I love you," he breathes into her ear. She tenses up at the revelation. The words are there in her head, but somehow they aren't forming correctly.
Then she does it, she releases the tension that's been building in her heart ever since her mother passed away. It's like a thousand pound weight being lifted from her shoulders.
"I love you Jake."
