Lucas awoke that
morning to the warmth of Peyton's lips pressed against his. His
eyes remained closed as he wrapped his arms around her thin waist.
She moaned slightly as his hands ran up and down her back, slowly
pulling her down onto his body. Lucas rolled over so that Peyton was
underneath him before he broke the kiss. "Good morning" she said
as a small smile played on her lips.
"It's a very good
morning" he whispered before leaning down and indulging himself in
her taste yet again. He frowned when Peyton broke the kiss.
"What
do you want for breakfast" she asked as she pushed him off of her
and began to get up.
"You" Lucas stretched his arm around
her waist and pulled her back down, lining her neck with kisses.
Peyton pulled back slightly and raised an eye brow.
"Now
that can be arranged" she gave him a sly smile before she leaned
back down and gave in to his request. "I love you" she said in
between kisses and she was shocked when Lucas pulled back. He wasn't
used to hearing her say those words anymore, he had been the only one
feeling anything for the last two months and now things had changed.
"I love you too" he said with a warm smile before he
leaned in and kissed her gently. He rolled onto his side, bringing
Peyton with him, and wrapped his arm tightly around her waist as he
rested his chin on her shoulder. The feeling of his chest pushed hard
into her back made her feel safe and warm. A smile spread across her
face as happiness filled her entire body and she let herself relax
into Lucas's embrace.
Lucas's lips trailed along her neck
as his hand roamed her stomach. He didn't stop as Peyton maneuvered
her body under the covers. Peyton turned to face him and joined their
lips, letting her hands rest on his bare chest. Her tongue traced the
edge of Lucas mouth as he pulled her body closer to his and his hands
slipped under her shirt and traced the small of her back.
"Rise
and shine lovebirds" Brooke chirped and strolled into Peyton's
room nonchalantly. The two blondes broke apart reluctantly and Peyton
turned around. "We are going shopping. Well Peyton and I are going
shopping." Brooke gave a sly smile as she turned to face the two
blondes and looked at Lucas.
"Luke, you and me are their
official bag holders." Charlie said sarcastically as he entered
Peyton's room. He gave one look at Lucas and Peyton before he
walked over to Brooke and grabbed her shoulders. "Sorry about
that...but you guys know how she is" he rolled his and watched as
Luke and Peyton did the same. Brooke looked at them in confusion
briefly before she finally understood what was going on. She gave an
embarrassed smile as Charlie pushed her out the room. "Let's go
hun".
As soon as they heard them walking down the stairs,
Lucas and Peyton began laughing as Peyton twisted her body to face
Luke again. She kissed him gently before sliding from under the
covers and walking over to her closet. "Where are you going"
Lucas whined as he stuck his lip out in mock sadness. Peyton just
laughed at him as she turned back to her closet and pulled out a
black three- quarter shirt and her dark denim hip huggers.
"I'm
going to get dressed before Brooke comes back up here and I suggest
you do the same. I do have to take a shower though, so you can sit
there and wait for me if you want." Peyton winked at the boy laying
in the bed before she walked into the bathroom. Lucas watched her
hips sway and when she disappeared into the bathroom, he leaped off
the bed and followed her in, closing the door behind him.
"Aren't
you glad I don't shop like Brooke?" Peyton teased as she glanced
between Charlie and Lucas. Charlie was already carrying 5 full bags
and they hadn't even finished the first bag. Lucas on the other
hand was carrying nothing and he was glad. "Brooke why are you buy
all this anyway...I mean it's not like your gunna be able to fit in
a few months." Peyton stuck her tongue out at the brunette and
eared herself a death glare.
"Don't remind me. I'm
gunna love every minute of though, so it's all good in my book."
A small smile played on the brunette's lips. Peyton gave her own
smile but inside she could feel her heart breaking, it was almost as
if she could hear it shattering in her ears. "Ohh we have to go in
here" Brooke squealed as she reached for Peyton's hand and
dragged her into Victoria's Secret.
"Luke, man remind me
to never agree to this again." Charlie complained as they followed
the girls into the store. The blonde laughed as he shook his head. He
was glad wasn't a big spender, it was the only reason he didn't
mind going shopping with the girls.
The group spent the next hour
in the store, Brooke and Peyton trying on lingerie while the guys sat
outside the dressing rooms.
"Brooke what do you think about
this" Peyton asked as she examined the red laced bra she had on.
"I think that Lucas will think it looks great" Brooke
winked at her best friend as she went back to looking at the black
corset she was trying on. Peyton gave herself one last look before
she changed back into her own clothes.
"Okay, Brooke can we
leave now" Peyton whined as they walked out of Victoria's Secret,
she was tired and ready to go home after 5 hours of the mall.
"Alright, we can leave now" the brunette rolled her eyes
as they walked towards the exit for the mall. As they walked Peyton's
eyes focused on the poster hanging in one of the store windows. It
was of a blonde women with loosely curled hair, holding her baby boy.
The baby was laughing as his mother held him high in the air. Peyton
fought back tears as she forced herself to look away. No one noticed
the change in her expression as they walked towards the car. "This
was fun...we should do it again next week" Brooke bit the edge of
her tongue as she bumped Peyton's hip with her own.
The
blonde's façade quickly went up as she laughed and shook her
head no. "I think Luke and I will pass" she stated. Brooke just
rolled her eyes as if to say your loss.
"I'll see you guys
later" Brooke wrapped her arms around Peyton's neck and the
blonde did the same.
"See ya" Peyton replied as she and
Brooke broke apart. Luke and Peyton didn't talk on the ride back to
Peyton's house but both felt comfortable in silence. Once they
reached her house they made their way to her front door, but once
they were inside Lucas bent down and lifted Peyton into his arms. She
screamed and flung her arms around his neck as he pushed the front
door closed. He carried her quickly up the stairs and into her room,
both of them laughing.
"I don't know" Lucas said as he
set her down on the bed. "I just had an urge to do that" Peyton
laughed and shook her head.
"Well I have an urge to do
this" She whispered as she wrapped her arms around his neck again
and pulled him down onto her, the lips crashing together. They both
smiled as they pulled apart and Lucas rolled off of her. Peyton stood
up and walked over to her closet. "Time to get comfortable." She
searched through her clothes and decided on a pair of shorts and a t
shirt.
"The mall is a very dirty place you know. I think
you need a shower before bed." Lucas pulled the t-shirt from her
hands and gave the infamous Scott grin and Peyton just gave him a sly
smile. Lucas stood up as she began walking to the bathroom. He smiled
to himself as he whipped her with the end of the shirt causing her to
shriek and run into the bathroom. He ran behind her and grabbed her
waist, pulling her body into his, as they both laughed.
Peyton
lay curled under the covers as Lucas went downstairs to get a drink.
She couldn't forget the pain she felt when she was around Brooke.
Her heart was still breaking inside of her as she was forced to deal
with her loss. Things had finally been going well and then she lost
the baby. Everything had just gone down from there and now that they
were finally starting to get better she couldn't help but fear what
was to come.
Peyton let the tears fall from her eyes as she
thought about everything she had wanted to do with her baby. She felt
the knot the formed in her throat as the false memories she would
never have invaded her mind. She felt her body move as Lucas's arm
pulled her closer to him. He knew that things wouldn't just get
better, but he hated havening to admit that. He didn't want to see
Peyton in anymore pain, but he knew the pain would never really go
away. She had lost something that was a part of her for months and
there was no way to deal with that.
Lucas held her tightly
and continued to kiss her golden curls as her tears ran down her pale
cheeks. There were no words exchanged between the two because there
was nothing to say, words were of no use for either of them. Peyton
eventually cried herself to sleep, and even after he eyes closed
Lucas could feel her body shudder in his arms.
