AN: So, chapter 3, romantic type? You see for yourself. Not much to say, but ENJOY.


Jake couldn't take his eyes off his lovely Peyton. As he ate, he tried to plan out what to do next. Should they go to one of the other's house? Should they stay at the café? Or should they just walk around? Jake was more in favor of the walk. He wanted to talk to Peyton, tell her everything that had happened, since Karen what taking care of Jenny for the night, so it was just him and Peyt. Throughout the whole dinner, none of them spoke a word both stayed silent, thinking. Thinking of each other, of what to do next, and even once in a while fantasizing about being with each other forever. When dinner was done, Jake cleaned up the place, as Peyton just sat there, still thinking. She grabbed her cheerleading prep bag and walked out of the café to her car, put it in there, and walked back to the café. When she walked back in, she saw Jake sitting at the table, a surprised look on his face. Smiling, Peyton walked over to him, helped him stand, and pulled him in for a kiss, then pulled away and looked into his eyes, running her fingers slowly through his soft hair. Jake smiled at her and cupped her face in his hands.

A slight smirk crossed Peyton's face. "Did you really think I left?" she asked teasingly, tilting her head slightly to the right. Jake walked to the counter, putting slow music in the CD player, then walked back to Peyton, putting his arms around her waist, then shrugged.

"Well, I knew you were going to come back." He said with a wink. As the music started, Peyton put her arms around Jake's neck, then interlocked her fingers. She stared into his deep brown eyes; she sought comfort in his eyes. The way he looked at her also sent a shiver down her spine, but a pleasant shiver it was. They both started to sway slowly to the music together, before actually moving around. They slow danced for a little while, and after about 4 songs, Jake glances at the clock, realizing it's already 8:30PM. Peyton looks at the clock as well, then turns back to Jake, kissing him, then slowly pulling away. Jake turned off the music, as Peyton got her purse. She walks over to the door and Jake joined her. They closed up the café and left taking a small walk, they didn't know where they were going, they just walked.

Jake put an arm around Peyton, as she leaned her head on his shoulder. Peyton looked at Jake. "Did you find a place to stay, or is your old apartment still open? Wait…are you even staying?" she asks curiously, hoping Jake would stay. If him and Jenny didn't have a place to stay, she would be more than happy to let them stay with her. Jake smirked at her question and rested his head on hers as they walked.

"The old apartment is still open, so I might just move back in. What did you have in mind?" he asked with a smile. Looking up at him, Peyton smiled.

"Oh…Nothing." She rested her head back on his shoulder as they passed the basketball court. They passed by silently, looking at the court as they walked by it, watching Nathan and Lucas play against each other and Mouth as the announcer. It was about 9:00PM, when they reached the beach. Peyton caught a little chill, and Jake smiled, holding Peyton close to him. As Peyton looked up at him, Jake inched in closer, and they kissed.

Another urge, like the one she had had before, took over her. She put her arms around him and ran her hands up his back, and deepened the kiss greatly, getting on her tip-toes. Jake, a little surprised, pulled Peyton close to him, their bodies right up against each other, and kissed back passionately. They slowly ended the kiss and pulled away, Peyton taking a few steps back, breathing a little heavily. Smiling at each other, Peyton ran into his arms, forming a hug. Jake closed his eyes and rested his chin on her head.

"I missed you so much, Peyton." He whispered to her. She smiled slightly and pulled away slowly.

"I missed you too, Jake…I-I…I love you…" There, she had finally said it, she loved him, and that was that. She wanted to be with him, and nothing was going to change her feelings for him. Jake put one hand on her face, and she cupped his hand, holding it there.

"I love you, too." He said, he was finally truly happy. Peyton looked at the small waves coming in and shivered. She linked arms with Jake and they left the beach, for another stroll, to warm up a little. Without planning, they ended up picking up Jenny and going to Peyton's house. She unlocked the door, and let Jake in. Following after him, she closed and locked the door.
