A Father's Love

Ch. 9 I've Been Missing You

It had been a long weekend for both Peyton and Lucas. They were both grounded and had no way of contacting one another. Peyton was miserable without him and vice versa. Peyton usually hated going to school but when Monday rolled around she was tickled pink because she knew she would get to see his beautiful face. Larry had driven her to school. He lectured her about honesty and responsibility the whole way to the campus. She was relieved when she finally got out of the car. He was driving her absolutely insane. As soon as the car pulled away Lucas popped into sight.

"I've been waiting for you," he told her as he took her hand in his. "I've missed you so much," he exclaimed.

"I missed you too," she couldn't take it any longer and leaned in and kissed him.

"What was that for?" although he wasn't complaining.

"I'm taking charge, and we're not going to get to do that very often considering I'm grounded for the rest of my life," Peyton informed him as they started to walk toward the building.

He made a face, "That long huh?"

"Yeah, What about you?" She asked knowing his wouldn't be near as harsh.

"Three weeks but I'm sure with good behavior I'll be out in two," Lucas smiled. His mom could be a pushover especially with the influence of Keith.

"Yeah lucky you," Peyton sighed.

"Maybe your dad will forgive you," he said trying to cheer her up.

"Not gonna happen," Peyton said in a disappointed voice.

"At least I'll get to see you here. You look beautiful by the way," he added. She leaned in and kissed him again. "I like it when you take charge," he smiled.

"You can thank Haley for that," Peyton said. When they entered the school she saw Brooke. Her face went from happy to disgusted, "She is a total Bitch!"

"Yeah I agree. You want to piss her off?" he asked.

"How do you suggest we do that?" Peyton asked him but before he responded he pulled her into a hot kiss that could have melted the lockers. Brooke saw the interaction and looked pissed. She was going to have to think of something else to break them apart. "Wow," was all Peyton could say when they finally broke apart. "That was incredible!"

"You are incredible," he said making her blush. Her weekend had sucked but anytime she got to spend with Lucas was pure bliss.

Haley and Nathan were in their favorite place to be the janitor's closet. "Do you think someone is going to find us in here?" Nathan asked breaking away from their heavy kiss.

"No," Haley said pulling him back into a kiss.

"If they do we could get in trouble," Nathan didn't want to get caught.

Haley made a face of confusion, "Aren't you supposed to be fearless?"

"Yeah but when I'm with you I don't want you to get hurt or in trouble," Nathan admitted.

"As long as I'm with you I'm going to be fine. If I do get in trouble at least I'm doing something that I enjoy," Haley added smiling and trying to get him to relax.

Nathan finally gave in, and they started kissing again. This time Haley got a little more physical. She started taking off his shirt, but he stopped her. "What is your problem?" Haley asked.

"Don't you think we are moving too fast?"

Haley was confused and was starting to get angry, "No, don't you do this with all the other girls?"

"You are not just any other girl to me Haley. You are my girl, and I don't want to make love to you in a closet. I want our first time to be perfect and meaniful. This isn't it," Nathan admitted to the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. He was falling for her fast and never wanted to hurt her.

"I just thought you wanted sex. I've heard stories about you," Haley added.

"Yeah, you've heard stories about the old Nathan, but I'm not that guy when I'm with you. You changed me for the better Haley. I hope you can see that," He gave her a simple kiss on the lips. "I want everything with you, but not in a closet at school," Nathan hoped that she felt the same way.

Haley smiled, "I thought I had to sleep with you to keep you happy."

"Never," Nathan smiled, "I would wait for you forever Haley James." He gave her another kiss, "We better to get to class."

"Five more minutes," she protested.

"Okay but then we have to get to class," they continued to kiss. Nathan really was the perfect guy for Haley. She never thought that would be possible.

Lucas was in the gym waiting on Peyton. They had agreed to meet there before she had to go home. He heard someone behind him, and when he turned it was Brooke. "What are you doing her?" he asked.

"I wanted to see you," Brooke said tugging on his shirt.

"Get off of me Brooke," he said pulling away.

"Lucas let me explain why I did what I did," Brooke put on a pouty face hoping it would work.

"I already know why you did what you did Brooke. You are a manipulative bitch. May I remind you that it is your fault that we broke up in the first place," Lucas told her.

Brooke stepped closer to him, and at the right moment when he least expected it she pulled him into a kiss. At that same moment Peyton walked in and saw the whole thing. "Oh hey Peyton," Brooke said with a devilish smile. "We were gonna tell you."

Peyton looked devastated, and Lucas was pissed. "Peyton I swear to you this was a setup," Lucas tried to explain.

Peyton stood there without even saying a word. "He needs sex Peyton, and he knew I would give that to him," Brooke said innocently.

"Luke," Peyton was hurting by the kiss she had seen. "I can't believe you..." she trailed off running out of the gym.

"Go to hell Brooke," Lucas said as he ran out of the gym.

Brooke shook her head viciously, "That will teach you to mess with Brooke Davis. I always get what I want."

......................................................

Outside of the gym Lucas is running after Peyton. "Slow down," he demanded.

"How could you?" Peyton asked.

"It was a mistake. She kissed me."

"It didn't look like you minded," Peyton told him.

She continued to walk faster and faster. "Stay away from me Lucas," she saw her father's vehicle pull up, and she got in. She had to hide the tears that were forming in her eyes. Lucas watched as her father drove away. He had to find someway to tell Peyton the truth, the whole truth.

To Be Continued

Thanks for the reviews for the last chapter you guys are awesome.

This chapter was supposed to be different, but I ended up adding the Brooke scenes. The next chapter is going to focus on Larry and Peyton and then Lucas and Peyton at the end. A big thing is going to be revealed that I don't think I have talked about in the other chapters.
