God, how guys can be easy! Brooke said.
I know! They belived every words we just said, Haley said.
And the look on their pretty faces...Prizeless!
Yeah...But I do feel a little bad for them.
Why?
Because...They think we are really mad at them and now they probably feel really guilty which makes me feel guilty and so on...
Stop it! They were the ones going to that strip club, not us! Now they just have to live with the consequences.
Fine...So what do we do next?
I don't know. All I know is that we have to keep making them think that we're still angry at them for what they did.
And if we can't?
That is not an option.
But what if?
If we can't then it's gonna be hell to pay. For us.
So what do we do now? To get back at them I mean, Lucas asked.
Don't know, Nathan said.
I told you, you can't do anything because if you do then they are going to find out that I told you, Peyton said. You just have to play along until they come clean.
I ain't waiting that long.
I know! Lucas started. What if we just play along and we do all these nice things to them to make them think that we're sorry and make them feeling more guilty for messing with us and when they eventually tell us the truh, which they will, then we can pretend to be angry at them instead and hopefully they will plead for our forgiveness and you know the rest...Just mess with their heads a little bit.
That's it? That's your brilliant plan?
You got a better one?
Damn right I do!
Okay, let's hear it.
I don't know...
Good. Then it's settled...
Guys! You do know that I'm still here right? That I know your "Oh so brilliant plan"? I can go and tell Brooke and Haley right now if I want to, Peyton said.
Your not gonna tell them, Nathan said.
Oh really? What makes you so sure?
I know, because if you do then I'm gonna tell everything I know about you from when we were going out. All your dirty little secrets and trust me, I know plenty.
Your bluffing.
Am I?
Yes you are. And even your not, that ain't gonna scare me Scott. 'Cause I got plenty of dirty secrets on you to which I know at least one person who would just love to hear all about it.
Okay...What if I payed you to shut up?
How much?
50?
100.
75.
Deal.
Nathan took the money from his wallet and handed it to Peyton.
Nice doing business with you Mr. Scott, Peyton said and walked away.
Wish I could say the same thing to you...
30 minutes later Peyton was in her hotel room doing nothing really, while both Haley and Brooke and Nathan and Lucas were planning and scheaming downstairs. Then suddenly Peyton heard a knock on her door and when she went to answer it, she got a surprise of her own...
Jake, Peyton said shocked.
Look, I know you told me to leave you alone and I will. I just have to tell you one thing before I do that, Jake said. I still love you Peyton.
With that Jake left Peyton alone just like he said he would. Peyton went back inside her room and closed the door. She sat on her bed and started to think..."Great. Now I'm stuck between two people. Again! And now of course it has to be between two great guys who I really like. What the hell am I gonna do?"
Here they come, Nathan said to Lucas reffering to Haley on Brooke.
Lucas, Brooke said.
Brooke, Lucas said.
Nathan... Haley said.
Haley, Nathan said.
Whatcha doin? Brooke asked.
Nothing, Lucas said. We're just trying to come up with something to make this whole thing up to you. We are so sorry.
You should be. So what did you come up with?
Lucas looked at Nathan who nodded. How does dinner sound?
Anything else?
And...presents!
I guess we could go for dinner and presents.
Great! Is 8 o'clock good?
I guess...
Good. Ehm...Nathan and I will go now and...buy you those presents and we'll just see you guys later okay?
Sure whatever.
I love you Brooke.
Mhmm...
Love ya Hales, Nathan said.
Yeah yeah...
Nathan and Lucas left after that to buy...presents, and leaving Haley and Brooke alone talking.
Now do you feel bad? Haley asked Brooke.
Not just yet...
This is never gonna end, is it?
Sure it is...later. And think about it this way: at least we get a free dinner and presents!
Meanwhile Nathan and Lucas were talking outside the hotel...
Great, now we have to buy them presents to? Nathan said annoyed.
What else could I say? Lucas argued.
How about nothing!
Yeah and that had gone so well with Brooke and Haley.
You know what? Forget it. Let's just go and buy the damn presents and get it over with. At leat they still think that we're sorry and that we would do anything to get their forgiveness.
Yeah. Revenge really is as sweet as they say, don't you think?
It really really is.
Meanwhile Peyton was now at a small café not far from the hotel, waiting for John to get there. She had called to ask him if he could meet her there about 10 minutes ago and he had said he would be right over. It took an other 10 minutes for him to get there.
John, over here! Peyton sid. He walked up to her and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. Now she felt more guity about what she was about to do.
Hi Peyton! John said. I'm so glad you called.
You are?
Of course. I just got the feeling that what ever it is you want to talk about, it's not that good news. Or am I wrong?
Listen John...
I knew it...
You don't even know what I was going to say.
Your breaking up with me aren't you? I can see it in your eyes.
I really really like you but...
Your in love with someone else...John finished.
Yes...I'm sorry.
Don't be. It's okay.
No it's not...
Yes it is, John said and started to get up from his chair. Just make sure he's worth it. Worth you.
I will.
Your really one hell of a woman you know that?
Thanks.
Thank you. And besides, we had a good run right? It lasted what, one or two days?
Pretty much.
Well I'm gonna go now before the rest om my pride goes out the door.
Okay, Peyon said and smiled. Good bye John.
Bye Peyt.
With that John walked out the door, leaving Peyton alone. Again...
There it was, an other chapter. What did you think? Please review! I was thinking one or two chapters more with them being in Las Vegas and then I could just continue with the story when they are back in Tree Hill if you think that's a good idea? Let me know. Until next time!
