Author's Note:
This chapter is a tad shorter then my usual and that's because I wrote and deleted this chapter about 4 times. I really wanted to post it up for you guys so hope you enjoy this one. I'm already working with ideas for the next one that will probably be up tomorrow. As for those confused why Peyton was pissed at Lucas for Nathan's behavior; it was because in the heat of the moment Lucas told Nathan that he would of never slept with Peyton if he hadn't taken him out. And the little remark hurt Peyton so she guarded her heart. So in the meantime here it is and enjoy :)
A week had gone by since Peyton and Lucas had taken Jamie to the water slides. Peyton smiled remembering how good of a day they had.
Flashback
Peyton was laying on her towel soaking in the sun when suddenly she felt water on her. Her eyes popped open to seeing a smiling Jamie and Lucas with water guns. They laughed as they sprayed her. Peyton jumped up running after Jamie to get his gun, it amazed her how a 5 yr old boy could outrun her. She turned and decided she would grab Lucas's instead. He knew what she was up to when she turned towards him as he took off running as well but Lucas wasn't as fast as he shoulda been for a gym teacher as she grabbed a hold of his gun.
"Peyton your not gonna get this from me." Lucas said laughing as Jamie approached them both and started pumping the water gun at them.
"I'm tougher then I look." Peyton said determined to get it away from him.
"Oh please. Look at those chicken legs of yours." Lucas said poking fun of her slim body.
"Oh that's it. Your gonna pay for that." Peyton said as she snatched the gun away. Lucas grabbed her from behind before she could get too far and they both stumbled backwards. Peyton landed on top of Lucas, they both started laughing as Peyton remained on top of Lucas.
"Has anyone told you that you have the most beautiful smile." Lucas said looking up at Peyton. She blushed at the compliment and looked anywhere but at him.
"And how cute you look when you blush." He said giving her another compliment as she locked eyes with him. In that moment nobody existed just them two. She looked down at his lips and back up to his eyes.
"I..um..." Peyton stuttered
"How badly do you wanna kiss me right now?" Peyton challenged boldly knowing exactly what was running through his mind just as she looked down at his lips. But Lucas simply took his cue and rolled them over as he now had her pinned down.
"Probably as much as you do." He said with a cocky smile. Peyton froze, she so badly wanted to kiss him in this moment. She looked down at his lips then back up at him as she grabbed the back of his head and pulled him down towards her lips. He smirked at her action but before their lips could meet Jamie started spraying them with his water gun. Lucas immediately jumped up as he started chasing Jamie. Peyton smiled at watching the two of them running around.
"I could get use to this." She mumbled to herself as she watched Lucas grab a squealing Jamie.
End of Flashback
Peyton got snapped back to reality when she heard her phone ring. She ran to pick it up with the biggest smile on her face.
"Hey Peyton" Haley said
"Oh Hey Haley."
"Don't sound too excited there."
"No. I'm happy you called. I just.. I was expecting someone else." Peyton said honestly.
"Would it have anything to do with my brother in law who never came home last night?" Haley asked wanting details
Flashback
Lucas carried a sleeping Jamie inside the house with Peyton following closely behind. Lucas went to put Jamie to bed as Peyton joined Haley in the kitchen.
"So how was it?" Haley asked curious at how their day went.
"Actually surprisingly it was amazing." Peyton said with a goofy grin.
"I take it you two kissed and made up?" Haley asked wanting to know the details.
"Um not exactly, let's just say I haven't had this much fun in forever."
"The feeling is mutual." Lucas said entering the kitchen as he smiled at Peyton. They forgot they weren't alone as they stared at each other. Haley coughed to interrupt the moment.
"So you guys want a coffee or anything?" Haley asked
"No I actually have to get going. I'm kinda beat." Peyton said as she saw Lucas's smile fade.
"How about you take her home Lucas." Haley suggested as she winked at him
"What do you say? Can I drive you home?" Lucas asked hopeful
"Yeah, I'd like that." Peyton said smiling.
"I'll call you tomorrow Hales." Peyton said as she hugged Haley goodbye.
"I expect details." She whispered in Peyton's ears. Peyton just shook her head and laughed at her.
"I'll call you later Mom." Lucas said to Haley as she laughed at her goofy but happy brother in law.
"Ha Ha You are so funny Lucas." She said sarcastically as she watched them leave.
Flashback ends
"So tell me.. what happened after you guys left?" Haley asked
"Haley Scott, Are you seriously asking me for details?" Peyton asked laughing.
"So spill. I know he spent the night so I don't need to know about that but what happened before that."
Flashback
"Well thanks for the ride." Peyton smiled as she got out of the car. Lucas followed her as he escorted her to her door.
"I had fun with you and Jamie today." Lucas said as they made their way to the door.
"Yeah, it was fun. We should do it again sometime." Peyton said nervously.
"I'd like that." Lucas said as he took a step closer to her.
"Well. I guess I should get inside." Peyton hesitated, hoping Lucas would kiss her.
"Your adorable when your're nervous." Lucas said as he took another step closer. Peyton was nervously looking down. He lifted Peyton's chin gently as he looked into her eyes.
"I'm gonna kiss you so unless you don't want me to..." Lucas was cut short as Peyton's lips landed on his. He smiled against her lips pulling her flush against him. Peyton wrapped her arms around his neck as she deepened the kiss. He lifted her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist and they made their way inside to her bedroom.
End of Flashback.
"So is everything good between you two then?" Haley asked
"Yeah I guess. I still don't know what this means but It's a step in the right direction." Peyton said.
"Well that's good. I'm happy for the two of you. And Peyton?"
"Yeah?"
"Next time don't wait a week before telling me the details." Haley said as Peyton laughed.
"Have you seen him since?"
"I saw him at school, we've talked on the phone but that's about it. I have class with him today so hopefully we'll get to talk which reminds me I gotta go."
"Alright Peyton. Be careful at school. Bye" Haley said not wanting Peyton and Lucas to get caught.
Lucas was taking attendance when he realized Peyton hadn't shown up to class again. Ever since their falling out she had been skipping his classes but he was hoping that after the other night she would show up but she wasn't here. They we're just about to start class when Peyton came barging in with a smile on her face.
"Sorry I'm late." She said as she reached the rest of the class.
"Don't make a habit of it Miss Sawyer." Lucas said looking at her as he gave her a little smirk that no one could see.
"Whore." Rachel said while coughing.
"Excuse me?" Peyton turned and faced the red headed bimbo who dared calling her names.
"You heard me."
"I'm not the one who was sleeping with someone else's boyfriend for a year." Peyton said as she got into Rachel's face.
"Oh someone's jealous." Rachel said bitterly laughing at Peyton. Peyton was about to lunge at her as Lucas stepped in between them.
"Rachel go to the principal's office."
"What? why me? What about her." Rachel said pointing at Peyton.
"Your the one who started it." Peyton said behind Lucas as he turned and gave her a look.
"Office now Rachel." Lucas warned. As soon as she left, class began. Peyton was trying to get Lucas's attention all class long but he wasn't paying her any attention. She didn't understand what was going on. As the bell rang, everyone left class but Peyton stayed behind.
"Mr Scott." Peyton said approaching Lucas. He looked up at her then back to his notes ignoring her.
"Are you mad at me?" She asked him.
"No. why would I be mad." He retorted
"I don't know? I was so happy that I would get to see you but instead you look like I'm the last person you want to see right now." Peyton said hurt. Lucas looked up at her and felt bad at seeing the hurt in her eyes.
"I'm sorry. I guess I don't like seeing my girlfriend jealous about some girl sleeping with her ex boyfriend."
"Okay first off. I wasn't jealous. I could care less about who's sleeping with who unless it has to do with you and me. Second of all, I have a right to be angry about it considering they we're screwing each other for a whole year behind my back. And third, did you just call me your girlfriend?" Peyton finished as she took a step closer to Lucas.
"Aren't you? I'm sorry I just thought after the other night and everything we we're kind of a couple? But if we're not please let me know." He asked hurt.
"Hey you ready?" Nathan said entering the gym. Clearly interrupting an important conversation
"Yeah." Lucas said gathering his things leaving Peyton there.
"You okay Peyton?" Nathan asked her.
"Perfect. I'm freaking perfect." Peyton said sarcastically.
"What's going on?" He asked looking back at Lucas who was walking away.
"Nothing just having a fight with my ass of a boyfriend." She said yelling out the last part so Lucas could hear her. He stopped walking and turned around.
"Peyton don't yell too loud people might actually hear you." Nathan said nervously
"Whatever. I gotta get to class." She said teary eyed as she stormed off.
"Peyton wait up." Lucas yelled after her but she was gone.
'What the hell is going on?" Nathan asked Lucas. Who now felt horrible; Like Peyton he couldn't wait to see her in class but when he saw her and Rachel getting into it he felt jealous that she still cared about who Jake slept with. But when he heard her call him her boyfriend to Nathan, he realized he might of jumped to the wrong conclusion.
"Nothing like she said I'm an ass." Lucas said sadly.
"Okay I get she's in high school and your working at her high school but that doesn't mean you have to have a typical high school relationship. Get your head out of your ass big brother and fix this." Nathan said
After hanging up with Haley, Peyton got ready for bed. She was just about to call it a night when she heard a knock at her door. She kinda guessed who it was but she really didn't feel like talking to him right now so she ignored it. Her phone then buzzed;
"Peyton I know you're in there. Please open the door. We need to talk" -Lucas
He started knocking again and she still ignored him. Truth be told, when he just turned and walked away from her at the gym she was hurt. She wanted to have a mature relationship with him but right now he was acting more like they we're both 16 and in high school. If she wanted that she would have stayed with Jake. Her phone buzzed again;
"Peyton please open the door, I'm sorry I know I'm an ass. But I wanna be YOUR ass so please open the door." - Lucas
Peyton realized now she was being childish so she went downstairs and opened the door.
"Speak " She said opening the door; Lucas eyed her up and down. She was wearing black short shorts and a white tank top.
"You gonna say something or just stare at me?"
"I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier can I come in so we can talk." She nodded as she opened the door to let him in.
"So talk" Peyton said turning around to face Lucas as she crossed her arm.
"Can you be just a bit happy to see me?"
" I would be if you wouldn't have been such an ass today."
"Look I got jealous okay? And I'm sorry. I like you. You have no idea how much and I know it's crazy considering we haven't known each other all that long but I really care about you and I wanna be with you. And thinking you still had feelings for Jake made me stupid and immature and I wanna take it all back. I wanna go back to the moment you walked into class this morning with that beautiful smile." Lucas said putting it all out girl made him do things that even surprised him. Peyton smiled.
"I was so happy I was gonna see you this morning but then in class you acted like I didn't even exist and that hurt. I don't need a boyfriend who's gonna act like we're in high school even though I am in high school. I want a boyfriend who knows I care about him and only him; if I didn't like you back or I wouldn't wanna be with you I would have been honest with you and told you but I chose to put my heart on the line again and after everything that happened when Nathan found out about us; last thing I want is more drama. I wanna be with you too but I want you to be honest with me and not act like a jerk."
"Can we start over?" Lucas asked as Peyton looked at him skeptically
"Hi, my name is Lucas Scott and I find you miss Sawyer incredibly sexy when you're mad." which earned a giggle from Peyton.
"you're hilarious." Peyton smiled at him
"So does that mean my girlfriend forgives me or do I need to grovel a bit more?"
"I do like a man who grovels."
"Oh you do, do you?"
"Just promise me from here on out you'll be honest with me."
"I promise. So does that mean I still get to be your boyfriend?"
"Yeah and do you know what the perks are in being my boyfriend?"
"Oh Baby please clarify." Lucas said playing her game.
"Baby? giving me nicknames already."
"I.. um... if you don't want.." Lucas said hesitantly
"Has anyone ever told you how cute you are when you're nervous?"
"I'm not nervous.. I just.."
"Keep talking like that and we won't make it to the bedroom." Peyton said approaching him slowly.
"Bedroom? Oh am I gonna get lucky?"
"That's one of the perks of being my boyfriend. The make up sex is incredible." Peyton said as she put her arms around his neck.
"God you have no idea how badly I want you right now." Lucas said inching closer to her lips.
"Not as much as I do." Peyton said. Lucas smiled at the memory of the water gun fight. Peyton squealed as Lucas picked her up and carried her to her bedroom.
Alright so thought I'd put in some fluff. Next chapter will have a mix of the two before all hell breaks loose lol Like I said above; I deleted this chapter so many times because I didn't want to rush it and I felt like it was. I still kinda think it was rushed a bit but I'm gonna slow it right back down.. Hope you enjoyed it and don't forget to leave me comments :)
