Charade – Chapter 2

Lucas was showered, ready and about to eat breakfast when Peyton got out of bed. She came and had a seat beside her fiancée.

"How'd you sleep?" the man asked, taking a bite of his bagel.

"Great...like every night when I'm in your arms." Peyton grinned.

Lucas's stomach began to turn, like he would vomit at any second.

"You know babe I'm not really hungry, I'm just going to head out now," said Lucas.

"Well where are you going baby?" asked the curious woman.

"Oh you know…" Lucas struggled to think of somewhere he had a reason to be at 8 in the morning, "going to go see Skills and help come up with some game plans for the team."

"Aw well that's great! Come home soon alright, mama needs her sugar!" Peyton said, attempting to be witty.

Lucas cringed and choking back laughter said "Alright," closing the door behind him "...mama." He began to laugh and laugh manically- "MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!" He stood on the porch laughing, his eyes watering from the hysteria. His head was like an extremely shaky rock- tumbling up and down as he laughed. He stood with his arms spread like a bird about to take off although he stood very stiffly.

"Lucas sweetie y-"Peyton said, as she opened the door "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Lucas dropped his arms and looked directly in her eyes. "Oh ernn nothing BABY just loving this weather!"

"Yeah well just wanted to give you these," Peyton replied, clearly a little thrown off as she handed Lucas his own car's keys.

Lucas snatched the keys out of her hand and ran like lightening to his car; he didn't want to hear another word from her.

He drove for 3 minutes and stopped when he got to where he was longing to be. At his pretty girl's store- Clothes Over Bros. She had no idea he felt this way. That he longed to touch her all day and tossed and turned to be beside her all night. He was completely unsure of how she would feel if she knew how much he would do for her- how much he was doing for her. He watched Brooke Davis yelling into the phone, pacing around, through the glass window.

He did this everyday, he would just drive here and watch her. He had been thinking about installing some cameras at her house so he could have easier and closer access. It was bittersweet- on one hand it made him hurt horribly to not be able to be near her, but it also gave him comfort and an unexplainable pleasure to know where she was. Why couldn't he just go in there and talk to her? Well, he honestly didn't know what he would say. Words were never enough, they would either make her uncomfortable or ruin his whole plan.

Damn..She just gets more and more beautiful. I should have never let her let me go- I just wanted her to be happy. I knew she would never be happy unless her little best friend Seyton was too. I will make sure now that Seyton suffers- but only in a way that brings me closer to Brooke. Lucas thought, reassuring himself. He was about to go into a fit of his maniacal laughter but he saw that Brooke had spotted him. The brunette was walking towards the door, waving at him, unsurely. OH CRAP!!!! If anything goes wrong I will KILL Seyton! Lucas tried to keep his cool and stepped out of his car. He felt his palms get sweaty and his knees get incredibly weak as he walked up the steps to Clothes Over Bros.
