Memories Never Fade

He was on her doorstep, reading to ring the doorbell, but something inside of him was making him hesitate, he wasn't sure what, possibly the fact that he hadn't been over to her house in awhile and was just scared of what was going to happen. He was scared of what he wanted to do, he knew that sounded odd and a bit creepy, but it was the truth, he knew that he loved her, but he didn't think he was ready to make love to her, he was planning on waiting, but going over to her house could change any possible thought he had of that, they did have a history of making out when they were in any type of house or bedroom alone. He knew that was forsure. Lucas sighed and rang the doorbell.

Peyton ran down the stairs as she heard the doorbell, she reached the big white door, as she stood infront of it, she knew he stood behind the door, the man she loved. She made sure her hair was decent and opened up the door with a smile, as she saw him standing there she knew that she wanted him in her life forever, even if they weren't together, as friends would be fine, just having him in her life meant everything to her. She grabbed his hand and pulled him in the door. Shutting it behind her, she wrapped her arms around Lucas and began to kiss him. She pulled away and smiled.

Lucas looked her right in the eye and grinned alittle bit. This memory was fresh in his mind, memories of them two making out, in her room, it was crazy how much the two of them had grown up in the past year, now it wasn't just about being physical with one another, it was more then then, it was a connection they had, they both felt it. The connection wasn't just their feelings for one another, it was something that would bind them for line, even if their relationship didn't work out, Peyton and Lucas would some how feel something for one another forever, it was odd, neither of them had ever felt anything like this before, but they loved the feeling it gave them, it made them feel special, it made them feel important.

Peyton still had her hand intwined with his, she smiled as she cupped one hand around his face, Lucas smiled at her and wondered what she was thinking. They both hadn't said one word since he had gotten there, well, he wasn't there long, but they didn't need words to communicate, it was usually nice, but they both felt the same at that moment. Both smiling, Peyton let her hand drag down his cheek gently and then rested her hand on his chest.

"I love you." She told him as she moved her face closer to his.

"I love you too." He replied to her as he moved in a bit closer too.

"I need...you." Peyton whispered against his lips as she began to kiss him.
