In the Presence of An AngelChapter 22
It had been a few days since Haley and Brooke had gotten the apartment and they had gathered their friends at the café to tell them why they were moving in together. Even though most of their friends already knew that they were dating, Lucas and Nathan being the only exception, there were underlying reasons as well and they were going to use this as the reason they got an apartment together so it would not raise suspicion to the two unsuspecting Scott brothers. Everyone was gathered in the café, all except for Lucas and Peyton that is; they were running late. They were probably off somewhere making out, which was what both Haley and Brooke would rather be off doing together right at that moment. While everybody waited on the couple to arrive, they talked amongst themselves and both Brooke and Haley were in the kitchen, rehearsing what they were going to say as they paced back and forth.
The chime of the bell above the door was heard then the voices of Lucas and Peyton, all of them laughing as the couple tried to make up excuses for being late. Brooke turned to Haley and asked, "You ready for this?" "I guess," she responded a little nervously, "it's now right? We can't really say now or never because everyone will eventually find out eventually." "True," Brooke nodded then gently kissed her on the lips as she rubbed the sides of her shoulders, "come on, let's get this over with so we can go back to your house and make out. Then tomorrow we can enlist everybody's help to get all our stuff moved over to the apartment." Haley nodded and squeezed her hand, giving her a quick peck on the cheek, then pulled her towards the door, letting go just before she opened it.
"There you guys are," Peyton exclaimed, "where have you two been hiding? You're not planning on killing us, I hope, because we're all here…I would like to live to see my eighteenth birthday, thank you very much." "Yes, that's our master plan…murder all of you so we'll have no friends and no one to help us move into our new apartment," Brooke replied sarcastically. "Yeah, why are you doing that anyway? It seems kind of weird," Lucas responded. "Well, that's why we asked you all here. We wanted to explain why," Haley answered. Both noticed Peyton and Jake's eyes widen in surprise. They probably thought they were going to tell Lucas and Nathan about them dating. Brooke discreetly shook her head no towards them then began to speak, "You all know that our parents are never around so essentially we have the houses to ourselves but the houses are too big for just one person to live in, especially mine. And ever since Haley and I have been hanging out together these past few weeks, we've become really close friends. Plus, with Haley helping me recover and everything, it just seemed logical." All nodded in agreement to Brooke's explanation. Haley piped in, "Also, since Brooke is recovering still, we wanted to ask you all to help us get our stuff moved out of our houses and into the apartment. I know it will be hard work, especially with all of Brooke's stuff, but I can't do all that by myself; I'm going to need some help." "We'll do it," Lucas responded as he wrapped an arm around Peyton's shoulders. "I'm in," Jake said. "Me too," Nathan replied with a smirk on his face, "it wouldn't be nice if I didn't help out my two new sexy, beautiful neighbors out." He winked at them. "Watch it Scott," Brooke warned. "And why should I do that," he asked. "Because you are not getting with me and you're definitely not getting with Haley because Luke would kill you if you did; not to mention Haley. I mean, look what she did to Luke just when they were playing around," Brooke gestured to the lower half of Lucas' body. Lucas blushed slightly.
"Alright, so when are we going to get this moving party started," Jake asked, "I've got to go pick up Jenny from daycare but I'll have to bring her with me because my parents are out of town right now." "I'll watch her," Brooke volunteered. So then it was decided that everyone would leave in their respective cars and meet up at first Brooke's house then would take a load to the apartment then head over to Haley's house, as they would not be taking much furniture from Brooke's house. Brooke and Haley had decided that since they both spent most of their time at Haley's house, they would be taking most of the furniture from her bedroom and moving it to their room in the apartment. The other bedroom was really a guest bedroom, as they would be sharing a bedroom, but the their friends didn't know that so they decided to put Brooke's bed in that room and deem that one hers. Over the next two days, all their friends helped get everything moved while Brooke sat and played with Jenny in the living room of the apartment.
"Whew, I'm pooped," Haley remarked as she sank onto the couch beside Brooke after she had finished unpacking the rest of the boxes. "Tired," Brooke asked as she wrapped an arm around Haley's shoulders and kissed her forehead. "Yeah," Haley mumbled sleepily as she snuggled closer into her girlfriend. Brooke rubbed the side of her arm, "Come on, let's go to bed." She stood and carefully picked Haley up, who shrieked in fright, "Brooke, put me down! You could hurt yourself!" "I'm fine Haley," she replied as she carried her to their bedroom. She laid her down then crawled in beside her and wrapped her arms around Haley's waist, resting her head in the crook of Haley's neck. Haley hugged Brooke tighter to her body as she nuzzled her cheek with her nose. "I love you," she murmured softly, her voice and eyes heavy with sleep fast beginning to take over. "I love you too Hales," Brooke responded, kissing the column of her neck.
A few days later, Haley was busy preparing the apartment for later that night; it was a special night after all. Today marked the day that Brooke and Haley had officially been together for a month. Haley smiled as she cleaned up the apartment, thinking of everything she had planned out. Haley hadn't been sure what to get Brooke for an anniversary present at first. I mean, it had only been a month, right? Then she remembered something Brooke had said and after some deep thought, Haley finally came up with the perfect idea. While Haley prepared for the night ahead, she had enlisted Peyton's help in taking Brooke shopping to keep her occupied. Around five she started to cook dinner and then at six, she took a shower and changed into a different outfit. Brooke would be home soon.
Brooke sighed as she entered the apartment; she was tired. Usually shopping lifted her spirits, but even shopping with her best friend had been draining. She just wanted to go home to Haley and cuddle up on the couch. As she opened the door, Brooke was immediately bombarded with a tantalizing aroma. Brooke licked her lips in anticipation; the food Haley cooked was always wonderful. She walked into the kitchen and found Haley leaning over the table as she poured some champagne into some crystal glasses. Haley looked up and smiled when she saw Brooke standing there, a shocked expression on her face. She straightened up and walked over to her, wrapping her arms around Brooke's neck and softly kissed her for several seconds before she pulled away. "Happy Anniversary, baby," she whispered into her ear. Brooke's eyes widened even more, "Oh my god! I totally forgot! I'm so sorry Hales. I didn't even get you anything!" Brooke began to tear up and Haley placed a hand on her cheek, "Sh, it's okay. You didn't have to get me anything. I wanted to do this for you."
"I love you," Brooke said quietly as she hugged Haley tight to her body and kissed her on the forehead. "Love you too," Haley replied then grabbed the two glasses of champagne, "now let's make a toast. To us." She raised her glass and clinked it against Brooke's. They sipped it and then Haley ushered Brooke to sit down at the table then went to go get the plates of food. She brought them out a few minutes later and when Brooke took a bite, she moaned in satisfaction, "Haley, this is sooo good. It's lemon flavoring, isn't it?" Haley nodded in response. She had cooked lemon chicken with macaroni and cheese, potato salad and some green beans. "You should become a chef," Brooke suggested as she tasted the potato salad. "Nah, I keep my cooking in the home," Haley replied as she ate some of her chicken.
After they had eaten, Brooke helped Haley clean off the table then Haley pushed her out of the kitchen, claiming she had to get the dessert ready. Brooke was on the couch reading a book when she heard Haley yell, "Dammit!" "What's wrong Haley," Brooke called out concernedly. Haley came out with tears in her eyes as she sniffled, "The dessert is ruined! I forgot to get some of the ingredients at the store and now we can't have dessert because I forgot the damn ingredients!" "It's alright Haley, we don't have to have dessert," Brooke tried to soothe her by rubbing her back. "No, it's not alright! We have to have dessert! Brooke, will you run down to the store and pick up the stuff I need? Please," Haley begged her. "Sure Hales, what do you need?" "I need some Maraschino cherries, the ones with the stems, some whipped cream, and a bag of chocolate chips, the Hershey's kind," Haley rattled off as she tried to remember what she needed. "Okay, I'll be back in about thirty or forty minutes," Brooke replied as she grabbed the keys to her car off the coffee table. Haley responded as Brooke headed to the front door, "Thanks Brooke." After Brooke left, Haley smiled. It would give her just enough time to get everything ready.
Forty-five minutes later, Brooke returned to the apartment with the ingredients; the lines had been horrendous. She had been stuck behind an old lady in the 20 Items or Less express lane and the lady had definitely had more than twenty items. The young male cashier had probably been too polite to ask her to move to another lane. She set down the bag in the kitchen and called out, "Hales? Where are you?" She received no answer and her brows scrunched in confusion. Where was she? She thought Haley might be in the bathroom, but when she checked, nobody was there. She decided to try looking in the bedroom.
Brooke walked into the bedroom, finding candles lit all around the room and rose petals covering the bed and floor. Her mouth hung open in shock at the sight, amazed at the beautiful room. Suddenly she heard the lock on the door click shut behind her and she whirled around to find Haley standing there with her feet crossed and hands clasped behind her back, wearing a silk white negligee nightgown that fell just above her knees and looking very shy and nervous. "Hales," Brooke uttered softly as she stared at her girlfriend. "Surprise…" Haley whispered bashfully with a small smile on her face as she looked down at the floor, her cheeks tinted a bright pink.
Brooke walked over to her and gently cupped her cheeks in her hands, staring at her with love and passion burning in her eyes. She then lightly pressed her lips to Haley's in a tender kiss that soon became more heated. "I love you…" she murmured into her mouth. Once they parted, Haley wrapped her arms around Brooke's neck and Brooke wrapped hers around Haley's waist. Haley smiled up at Brooke, "I love you too." Brooke rubbed Haley's lower back, running her hands over the silky material covering her body then stared into her eyes again, "Does this mean…" Haley smiled even wider, her eyelids heavy with love, "Only if you're ready too." Now it was Brooke's turn to grin widely and she pressed her mouth hard to hers, her hands beginning to roam her back. Haley kissed back with equal fervor and soon they had moved themselves to the bed.
Haley gently pushed Brooke down onto the pillows as she straddled her hips. Brooke gazed at her in open-mouthed amazement at this act; Haley had never been this forward before. Haley smiled at her and kissed her lips then she ran her hands up and down the sides of Brooke's body, sometimes darting an inch or two under her shirt. Haley moved her hands to Brooke's stomach, caressing the soft skin there then fingering the hem of her shirt. A flash of nervousness crossed her face and she bit her lip, but she smiled reassuringly at Brooke then slowly pulled Brooke's shirt off. She gazed down in wonderment at her creamy tanned breasts enclosed in a barrier of black lace. Haley reached around and fumbled with the clasp of Brooke's bra for a moment before finally succeeding in unhooking it. Gently she dragged the garment from her body and dropped it to the floor. Haley kissed her lips again before starting a slow trail down her body, placing deliberate, soft butterfly kisses on her skin, making Brooke wonder how she could be so good at this without having done it before. Haley stopped when she reached the top of Brooke's jeans and by now, Brooke was panting heavily, her chest rising and falling at a quick pace.
Haley unbuttoned her jeans then pulled the zipper down, pushing the flaps open as she circled her hands around Brooke's waist and then pushed the material down, Brooke obliging her by lifting her hips up. Once they were removed, Haley straddled her again and ran her hands over her delicate skin, caressing every place she touched. She then slowly, finally, brought her hands up to cup her breasts, gently running her palms over her nipples, which became hard and erect. The nervous expression appeared on Haley's face again as she bit her bottom lip. Brooke saw this and replied as she rubbed the sides of Haley's arms, "You don't have to do anything you don't want to Hales. Unless you're having second thoughts…" Brooke gazed at her concernedly. "No, I'm ready. It's just… I-I… this is my first time and you're so much more experienced than I am… I don't know what to do… I'm really nervous. I'm scared that I won't be good enough…" Haley confessed as tears marred her delicate features.
"Oh sweetie, no," Brooke cupped her cheeks and caressed them slowly with her thumbs, "what you were doing just now, kissing me, made me feel like I was on Cloud 9. Hell, I was on Cloud 9. Your mouth is so amazing… what you do to me with just a simple kiss or touch of your hand… it's indescribable… You make me feel like I'm the inadequate one." Haley giggled lightly as she hugged Brooke and laid her head in the crook of her neck, "Really?" "God Hales, yes… no one's ever made me feel that way. I was near ready to burst right then and there just from that little act. It makes me wonder what's going to happen when we go all the way…" She smiled at Haley as she stroked her hair and rubbed her back for a few moments before she asked, "Would it make you feel better if I went first? That way you won't be so nervous?" Haley nodded and kissed her lips.
Brooke began to rub the tops of her thighs as she gently massaged them, trailing her fingers along her smooth skin then moving them to the underside of her thighs, squeezing them. She moved her hands up along Haley's body, caressing her back. Slowly, she moved her hands to the edge of her nightgown and stared into Haley's eyes, silently asking for permission to go further. Haley nodded her consent and Brooke slid the straps over her shoulders, placing a feather-light kiss in each spot. She then carefully lifted the negligee over her head, revealing a bra and panties, both the same white as the garment that had covered them. She smirked at Haley, "You just had to make it harder for me, didn't you Hales?" Haley chuckled in response, "No, I was making it fair. I wasn't going to make it so easy for you that all you had to do was take off the nightgown and I'd be naked when I had to take off your shirt and your pants. Where's the fun in that?" "You little tease," Brooke laughed as she covered Haley's mouth with her own.
Brooke lifted one hand, fingering the clasp on the front of her bra as she stared into Haley's eyes. "Is it okay," Brooke asked concernedly. She remembered what had happened the last time she had tried to touch her there and didn't want to push her to do anything she didn't want to or wasn't comfortable with. She nodded again, love burning in her chocolate brown orbs as she rubbed Brooke's lower back. Brooke skillfully got the clasp undone in seconds and then slowly pulled the bra open as if she were opening a present; a present she had waited an entire lifetime for.
Brooke lightly caressed the tops of Haley's breasts with her hands, taking her time so Haley would get used to her touching her in such an intimate place. Then she gently placed a kiss on each breast and cupped them in her hands, tenderly beginning to massage them. Haley moaned and threw her head back, causing her chest to thrust forward. Brooke ran her thumb around the circumference of her areola then slowly dragged it over her nipple. "Brooke…" Haley whimpered in pleasure. Brooke smiled at the reaction she was causing in Haley. She laid back onto the bed, pulling Haley down with her as she carefully turned them over so that she was on top. She straddled Haley's waist then performed the same treatment on her breasts again before she leaned down and gently took one into her mouth. Haley gasped as she arched her hips, pushing into Brooke, causing the brunette to moan.
She did the same thing to her other breast then scooted up to kiss Haley's neck. Brooke slowly licked the skin of her collarbone, feeling her shudder beneath her body. She moved back down, this time further, kissing her stomach then she licked her soft skin in a large circle around her navel before moving her tongue just above the spot, steadily darting it against her skin in the same place. Haley's moans were almost incessant now as she panted breathlessly, gripping the sheets tightly in her fists as her hands fast turned white. Brooke could feel the muscles in Haley's stomach clench in pleasure beneath the ministrations of her tongue.
"Brooke baby…please…no more…" Haley whimpered. Brooke smiled as she sat up, "You want me to stop? Darn, and I had so much more planned…" She grinned devilishly at her girlfriend, taking in her beauty and her highly aroused state. Haley was lying back on the bed with her eyes closed, her hair splayed all around her head, and breathing heavily in short little gasps, her chest heaving with every breath she took, grasping the sheets between her hands as she tossed her head from side to side. "I don't think I can take much more of this…" Haley murmured as she inhaled quickly again. Brooke leaned down again and kissed along the edge of her panties near her pelvic bone and Haley arched her hips up again. Brooke then dragged one finger languidly up and down her right inner thigh then stopped a moment later, her finger less than an inch away from her panties.
"More…" Haley begged when she no longer felt Brooke's hand running up and down her leg. Brooke resumed her movements but this time on the other thigh. After a few more minutes, she moved her finger and lightly stroked her through her panties, waiting for her reaction, not sure if Haley wanted to go that far. Haley let out a throaty, sensual moan and this only spurred Brooke's actions. She began to stroke her again, feeling the wetness that had already soaked through her panties and formed a damp circle on the dark sheets. Brooke gently blew some of her breath on the wet lace, causing Haley to gasp sharply and let out a squeak of surprise. Haley felt the cold air between her legs and it only furthered her need for her girlfriend. "Brooke…please…I need you…" she whispered in a hoarse voice.
Brooke lifted her hands and slowly pulled down the straps of her panties, slipping them off when they reached her ankles. Haley spread her legs wide, her eyes closed in anticipation of what would happen next. Brooke ran one finger down along her slit before rubbing her mound with the palm of her hand. "Tigger…now…please…" she begged again. Brooke silenced her by placing a finger to her lips, "Sh, be patient. Good things come to those who wait, Hales, very good things." She smiled at her then kissed her lips, lingering there for a few moments before moving back down again. Brooke began to massage her clit with her thumb and forefinger, rolling the sensitive nub of flesh slowly then gently tugging on it. Haley's hips bucked up in pleasure and she let out a strangled scream then started to pant again. Brooke scooted up more then languidly licked up and down her slit with her tongue, darting it between her folds a few times. Haley moaned and gripped the sheets even tighter.
Brooke held Haley's hips down with her hands as she started to flick her clit with her tongue before drawing it into her mouth, gently sucking it. "Oh god…" Haley cried out loudly, tossing her head from side to side. Brooke lapped at her juices, overflowing from her intense arousal, darting her tongue in and out of her folds, trying to get every last drop, savoring her taste. "Brooke, I'm getting so close…" Haley murmured quietly. "Hales, look at me," she requested, waiting for her to open her eyes. Once she did so, Brooke said to her in a soothing voice, "What I do next might hurt a little, but don't be scared, it's normal okay? It will only hurt for a few seconds okay sweetie?" Haley nodded in understanding, giving her all the permission she needed. Brooke slowly slid one finger inside of her and Haley let out a small cry as two tears trickled down her cheeks. Brooke took Haley's hand into her free one and kissed the back of her hand, "It's okay baby, it's over. Just relax a minute or two and let your body adjust."
They laid there for a couple minutes while Haley stayed still, feeling her insides conform to the shape of Brooke's finger. "Okay," she replied, allowing Brooke to continue. Brooke began to move her finger in and out slowly, watching Haley's face for any sign of pain, of which she found none. She then slid in one more, beginning to move at a slightly faster pace, causing Haley to moan. Soon Brooke added a third finger then began to rub her clit with her thumb as she moved her fingers in and out at an incredible pace. Haley's chest heaved up and down as she panted more heavily than ever before, her constant mutterings of "Oh god…" said in increasing volume as she felt a warm tingling sensation rise in her stomach. "Tigger…don't stop…I'm almost there…" she moaned. Not a minute later, Haley finally felt the rush of warmth flow through her body, causing her to shudder in absolute bliss and ecstasy as she cried out Brooke's name.
Brooke kissed her tenderly for several long moments as Haley rode the waves of her climax. Haley wrapped her arms around Brooke's waist and sighed contentedly into her neck. They rested for a little while then Haley stared up at Brooke and smiled. She kissed Brooke's forehead then her neck, in that little spot she knew drove Brooke crazy. "My turn…" she chuckled before turning them over so Haley was once again on top. Brooke smirked and her eyes sparkled with delight and love, "Ooh, I can't wait. If it's anything like last time… I'll soon be in heaven." Then she added, "But then again, I'm in heaven right here in your arms." Haley hugged her then began to run her hands up and down the sides of her body, sometimes dragging her nails lightly along her skin. She then began to leave a trail of soft kisses down her left side, stopping at the waist just above her hip to suck at the sensitive skin after Brooke moaned loudly in response to the attention there.
She did the same thing to her right side then started to kiss around the area of her collarbone and upper part of her chest, purposely avoiding her breasts. Brooke moaned sensually when Haley's warm lips made contact with that vulnerable little spot near her collarbone and her already short, fast little gasps of breath became even more shallow and frequent. She moved down and started to kiss her way up from the edge of Brooke's panties to just below her two creamy, supple mounds. Haley raised her hands to caress them and she just barely grazed her hands over them, but it seemed that a spark had ignited within Brooke and she thrust her chest up, yearning for more of her touch. Her eyes were closed in bliss at Haley's small, gentle hands touching her body. Haley smiled with a mischievous glint in her eyes as an idea came to mind.
Haley leaned down and slowly dragged her tongue from the bottom curve of her left breast to the tip of her hard, pebbled peak then darted her tongue against it, licking and caressing it slowly. "Oh god…Hales…" Brooke whimpered weakly as she began to pant more heavily. Haley gently drew the nipple into her mouth, beginning to suck slowly before quickening her pace. "Hales…Hales…" Brooked muttered between ragged breaths as she began to stroke her between her legs again. Haley tried to restrain against her will to let Brooke continue and she pushed Brooke's hand away then leaned down and kissed her, whispering seductively, "You had your turn, now it's mine. Besides there will be more time for that later. Remember Brooke, good things come to those who wait, very good things." Haley smiled as she repeated what Brooke had said. "I don't think I'll last much longer," Brooke replied hoarsely. "Sucks for you then. I had something really special I was planning to do. Now I guess you'll never know. It's sort of a one-chance deal, you pass it up then it's your loss," Haley smirked. "Alright, alright, do whatever you were going to do," Brooke waved her hand at Haley to continue. Haley grinned devilishly, "Alright, you asked for it. Don't say I didn't warn you."
Haley scooted down Brooke's body and kissed just below her navel then began to lick her skin like Brooke had before slowly starting to move down towards her pelvic bone. When she got to the edge of her panties, she kissed her in the middle just above the waistband. Haley slowly began to lick her there too and Brooke's eyes shot open in surprise when her tongue slipped under the material, darting in and out against her skin. "Jesus…Hales…" Brooke managed to get out between moans of ecstasy. Haley slowly brought her hands up and pulled her panties down and off her legs then continued further downward with her ministrations. Haley slowly licked up and down Brooke's opening before lapping at the juices seeping from her folds. Then she began to lick and suck at Brooke's clit until she screamed out in pleasure. "Hales…now…please…" Brooke begged as she gripped the sheets between her fists.
"Tell me what you want," Haley whispered seductively in her ear, blowing her warm breath into her ear. "I want…you…need you…inside me…" Brooke managed to get out through her rapid little gasps of breath. Haley grinned devilishly then slid her finger between her folds only partially, "Is this what you want?" Brooke made a sharp intake of air at this and she moaned, "Yes…no…more…" She tried to scoot down, to push Haley's finger further inside her, but Haley pulled it out. "Baby…please…" Brooke whimpered. "Oh, this," Haley asked coyly as she slipped her finger inside her a little bit again. "Yes…" the brunette whispered weakly, "stop teasing me…" "Well, if you say so," Haley smiled, laughter in her brown eyes. She then slid her finger fully inside her and both of them moaned at the feel of Haley inside her.
Haley began to move her finger slowly in and out before moving to a faster pace, Brooke's sensual moaning spurring her actions. Haley's mouth smothered Brooke's as her free hand drifted over her breasts, unconsciously rubbing them, causing her nipples to harden. She began to massage them as she took a nipple into her mouth, gently suckling it. Brooke arched her hips up, causing Haley's finger to move further inside her and she let out a pleasurable grunt in response. Brooke's breaths were heavy and shallow by now, her eyelids fluttering up and down as if she were fighting sleep. Haley's fingers continued to slide back and forth, in and out, quickly. "Slow down…" Brooke uttered softly. "What? Why," Haley asked confusedly. "Just…trust me…slow down…" she managed to get out through her labored breathing. Haley did as told and she gasped when she felt Brooke push a finger inside her, matching her own pace inside Brooke. Brooke thrust her hips down along the bed then up, moving down when Haley moved up, pushing Haley deeper inside her, closer to her very core. Brooke began to move her finger faster inside Haley as she felt the heat rising in her stomach. They matched their paces and soon the rush of warmth spread throughout both their bodies as they called out each other's names.
Haley collapsed on top of Brooke, breathing heavily as her lips sought Brooke's. They kissed tenderly for several long minutes. Haley rolled to the side and snuggled into Brooke's body, closing her eyes contentedly. Brooke did the same, stroking her hair and kissing her forehead, "I love you Hales." Haley moved her head up and lightly pressed her lips to Brooke's, "I love you too Tigger." Brooke closed her eyes as well and they both fell into a peaceful slumber.
The next morning, Haley and Brooke walked into the school, their arms linked and made their way to Brooke's locker. Peyton walked up to them and her eyes widened as her face acquired a shocked expression. She leaned in and whispered in surprised hiss, "You guys had sex!" "What? No we didn't…" Haley started then smiled sheepishly at Peyton's look and responded meekly, "how did you know?" "It's written all over your faces! You're both glowing!" Peyton exclaimed then asked, "so, how was it?" "Peyt!" Haley shrieked then whispered quietly when she saw people look their way, "that's sacred information. Information that you will never get to know because I won't tell you and neither will Brooke." "Oh, I'll find a way to get it out of you, don't you worry. I always get what I want," she smirked as Lucas walked up to the trio and wrapped an arm around her waist. "Hey babe," he greeted as he kissed her lips. Peyton mouthed to Brooke and Haley, "Watch and learn girls." Peyton whispered into Lucas' ear and he smiled a moment later. He wiggled his eyebrows at her in suggestion, "Meet you at your house later?" Peyton gave the other two girls a satisfied smirk of victory. Haley replied with a roll of her eyes, "Oh please, he's just horny. He'll do anything to get into your pants." Everyone turned to her with shocked expressions and wide eyes. Haley had never said anything that blatant before.
