Chapter 4

Walking into Vanity clothing store, Lucas looked around and felt dizzy immediately. 'How could women love shopping so much?' A young beautiful brunette girl greeted him with dimples smiles.

"Well come to Vanity clothing store. How could I help you sir?" She greeted him politely.

"Uhm, I saw a very beautiful dress near the window." Lucas said as he pointed at the dress which was worn by the mannequin.

"And you buy it for?"

"My girlfriend, yesterday when we passed by this store, she stopped and looked at it for a quite minute. I knew that she already loved it, so I want to buy it for her as a 4th year anniversary gift."

"Do you know your girlfriend's size? Or you can describe her for me. If the dress doesn't fit we'll fix it."

"Well…She's a skinny beautiful girl with big hazel green eyes that you can lose in them forever; her dark blonde hair is a little wavy and just reaches her shoulder. She's about 5''8 tall with a pair of never ending legs." Lucas said dreamingly.

The girl chuckled once hearing her customer described his girlfriend. 'This guy here is definitely in love.'

"Since she's a skinny girl, I think this dress is a little large for her. When's your anniversary?"

"Next two week."

"Could you come back here next week? The dress will be finished by that time."

"Perfect."

"Could you please fill in the form and leave a deposit of 50% the cost on the dress?" the girl asked politely, leading Lucas to the counter.

"No, not at all. Here you are." He gave her money.

"Thanks so much, Mr. Scott." She gave him the store card then said "If you need some thing call us. It's our pleasure to serve you." She opened the door for him. "She's so lucky to have a boyfriend like you." The girls' comment made him blushed.

"Thanks Ms. Davis. I'm the lucky one." Lucas smiled then walked away. Leaving an amazed Brooke 'How could he know my last name.' Then seeing the small silver board on her shirt, she smiled and came back inside.

Peyton sat on the bleacher at the river court, waiting for Lucas impatiently. 'What make him so long?' They decided to meet there then went to Tric and spent the night with Nathan and Haley.

When Lucas came to the river court, it was raining hard and there wasn't any soul around. 'She must be home now.' He was about to drive away, then he heard a faint sound of his name, looking around once again; he noticed a finger standing under the tree near by the river. 'That must be her.' Stepping out of his car immediately, he rushed towards the finger and called out loud. "Peyton?"

"Lucas!" Peyton ran towards him at the same time.

"God, Peyt why are you still here?" Lucas asked her worriedly, he cupped her face in his hands and used his fingers to wipe the raindrops away. "Do you know how dangerous it is to stand under the tree in this crazy weather?"

"I know, but I didn't drive and I thought that you would have come soon and there's no thunder." Feeling the goose bumps on her arms, he immediately picked her up in his arms and carried her into the car.

"I'm so sorry baby; some thing came up in the last minute." He said, holding her tight. He rubbed her arms up and down to warm her up. She melted into his embrace, feeling warm, secure and protected from the cold. He tipped her chin up to look at him. "I'm so sorry baby, I forgot to call you." Her face was pinker, her smooth skin was warmer and her eyes were brighter and sparkling under the street light. He lost in them again. "God, I love you." He leaned down and kissed her deeply and full on the mouth. He snaked his tongue around hers as his hands massaging her small back through the damp material. His aggressiveness was stirring every emotions and desires in her as she replied it at the same passion…He entered her smoothly and completely as the rain was hitting the windshield of his mustang.

As they calmed down, the rain finally subsided. They lay there in each other's embrace. He leaned back a bit and smiled at her "Thank you." She smiled back and kissed his cheeks "And I love you too."

They were now in their beautiful house and on their warm bed, cuddling in each other's arms "They want to throw me a congratulation party tomorrow night at Tric. You'll be there right?" He asked her hopefully.

"I don't know if something comes up in the last minute, then I won't." she replied playfully.

"It's so not funny. I want you there, Peyt." He pleaded. And of course that was what she needed.

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"Uh huh."

"Good. Cause I need you there." He said, leaning in and took her lips into his.

Tric, the next day.

When Peyton came to Tric Lucas, Nathan, Haley, Skills, Nikki…and some other teachers in THH all were there but surprisingly Lindsay was too. Walking towards Haley, Peyton whispered to her ear which made her jump "What is she doing here?"

"Oh god Peyt…Who?"

"That man face." Peyton answered, looking Lindsay who dressed like a real slut, up and down in disgust.

"I don't know Peyt. Maybe her best friend invited her."

"Great, this is Lucas' party and Nikki invites her slut of friend."

"Don't get angry Peyt; they don't know that my brother has a girlfriend. Couldn't blame the girl for trying right?" Haley comforted her friend.

"Ok, blame it all on your brother then." She was going to walk out of there as someone held her back by the arm. She turned around and saw a smirk face of the certain blonde man.

"Hey where do you think you're going?" He greeted her, tangling their fingers together. "Come on, I have something to announce." He didn't wait for her to response, grasping a surprised Peyton towards their circle of friends. Lindsay happily ran to Lucas as he came back, didn't notice the intertwined hands of the two blonde, trying to give him her best flirt smiles. Ignored Lindsay, he concentrated on his task.

"Thank all of you guys for your coming. And I have something to tell you." He said, raising their entwined hands. "Peyton is my girlfriend." That earned so many "Oh…" from their friends."So if any of you has feelings for her, just forget it ok. She's mine." Lucas smiled from ear to ear, looking at his new-public-girlfriend lovingly.

On the other hand, Peyton was speechless; she didn't expect it…at all. But it only took her a few second to let the happiness take control over her emotions. She pulled him closer to her as his hands went tightly around her waist. "I love you, you know that!" She whispered.

"I love you." They lost in their passionate kiss, forgetting all about their friends - Haley and Nathan, Skills and Bevin, Mouth and Millie, Nikki and Jack…which also dived in their own world.

Lindsay was the only person was left behind. She gazed at Lucas and Peyton with so much hatred in the eyes. Couldn't stand that love scenes anymore, she angrily stormed in to the restroom. "Lucas, how could you do that to me, I love you so much, but you choose that bitch over me. What does she have that I don't?" She angrily paced around the corridor of the rest room. Stopping suddenly, she looked at her reflection in the mirror and mumbled with her teeth clenched out of anger. "I won't let you guys enjoy your happiness while I'm suffering. I swear if I don't have you then she won't either."

Thank you all. Hope you enjoy.
