Woo-hoo! Only 3 more days (not counting today) until I'm on my way to Arizona to meet my friend Ashley before we go on our trip to Wilmington! I'm super stoked! I cannot wait! But it's sad that I won't be able to update for a little over a month. So I come today bringing one last update before I leave. Just so we're all clear, I've lost my passion (once again) for this fic. And on top of it all I have writers block. Oh, and I can't forget the fact that I'm so in love with Twilight right now that I can't let my fingers touch a keyboard without writing something that somehow reminds me of Twilight. Anyway, I'm starting to ramble. I'll let ya'll get to it... - Brittany
I offically had the day off. I may not be in school right now, or have a job, but Pete gave me the day off from mother-hood and told me to go out and have some fun. I sat outside of our house for a little bit trying to rememeber what I use to like to do on sunny afternoons like this before I got so wrapped up in being a mom. Pete basicly pushed me out of the house and is forcing me to do something that doesn't involve a baby. He can be so mean sometimes. Then it hit me. Brooke doesn't have classes today, I'll call her and see if she wants to do lunch. I reached into my bag that was resting on the passenger seat and pulled out my sleek silver slider phone. Quickly, I dialed Brooke's number and waited for her to answer.
"Hey B. Davis." I spoke into the phone when she finally answered. "Do you have anything planned for today?" I asked her. Sighing as she went on and on about how Lucas canneled his lunch date with her because his best friend (our friend aslo) Haley needed help writting a term paper. "That sucks about Lucas. Sorry buddy. But we could do something, I was thinking lunch and maybe a little shopping." I said. I pulled the phone away from my ear when I heard her screech in excitement. "Alright, meet me at the cafe' on 5th and Sunset, okay?" She agreed then I hung the phone up then started the car.

"Peyton Sawyer . . . I mean Wentz." Brooke greeted me cheerfully.
"Why hello Brooke." I said before I took a drink of my mocha.
After a good half hour of catching up Brooke's face grew serious.
"So, I've been thinking." She started.
I laughed. "Uh-oh. That's never good." I joked.
She fake slapped me. "Shut up!" She smiled. "I've been thinking that I want to open a store somewhere in LA. I mean sure I've got the one in Tree Hill but I live here now too so I think it'd be a smart move." She started to explain.
Brooke is the only 19 year old I've ever known that has had her own clothing line since she was 16. It's finally gotten big this last year. She opened a store in Tree Hill and buisness has been booming. Brooke Davis was going to have millions before she knew it.
"So I was wondering, first off, if you'd like to help paint it, and all that stuff. And if you'd like to maybe work there with me? It'd be perfect. You could bring little Ellie with you instead of hiring a nanny and your hours would be completely felixable -" Brooke started to ramble.
"I'll help you paint it and I'll work for you." I smiled.
Brooke grinned from ear to ear. "Yay! I was hoping you'd say that!" She stood up and I followed her lead then we hugged. "This is so great. We'll totally get to see each other more often now."
"Yeah, and Ellie will get to see her God mom more too... " I said.
"Speaking of babies - " Brooke started with a smile.
"You're not pregnant are you?" My face grew serious.
She laughed. "Hell no!" She almost fell over laughing so hard at that one. "No... I was thinking about making a baby line for Clothes Over Bros." She told me.
I grinned. "Thats great Brooke!"
Her phone began to ring and she sighed after looking at who it was. "It's my mom. I'm suppose to be at her house now. Lost track of time." She told me. "I guess I should get going." She stood up.
Once again, I followed her lead and stood up. "Yeah, I think I need to get back to my kid anyway." I chuckled.
Brooke gave me a hug and said, "You kiss that kid for me and tell her auntie Brooke wants to see her soon. And tell that goofy looking husband of yours 'hi' too." She laughed.
"Sure thing Brookie." I smiled.
"Bye P. Sawyer-Wentz, love you BFF." She laughed.
"Like wise" I said before I grabbed my bag and made my way to my car.
"Spotted. Peyton Sawyer-Wentz and gal pal Brooke Davis were seen having lunch yesterday afternoon at a small cafe' in LA. The two shared laughs over lunch then hugged each other before leaving. Gotta love BFF's." A E! Spokes person said through the tv.
Pete's gentle hand touch my shoulders lightly before he bent over to kissed my forehead. I smiled at the feel of his lips against my skin. My mind was slowly starting to drift away to that place I missed truely.
"I was thinking..." Pete said slowly, walking around me to sit next to me on the couch.
"Yes?" I asked quickly.
His smirk clearly meant this was something he was proud of.
"I was thinking that you and I have not had a night alone since Ellie has been born. I've missed that part of our relationship. I'm starting to think that it's been so long that I might not remember how to do it anymore." He smiled shyly.
I placed my hand on top of his, stroking the back of it lightly as I smiled.
"I've missed it too. More than you'll ever know." He smiled at me. "But-" I started again, watching his face go from hopeful to disopionted in a matter of seconds. "it's just so hard with Ellie around. I feel like she'll be able to hear us.." I trailed off.
He scooted over to me, now we were only inches apart. He didn't say anything. Moving so slowly that I didn't think it was really happening his started to kiss my neck. Moving his way up slowly until he found my lips. I let out a sigh once his covered mine. The kiss grew more intense and before I knew it I was laying on top of him on the couch. My hands held a fist-full of his hair. His hand left hand was on the small of my back, pressing me closer to him - as if that we actually possible at this point - his other hand tangled through my hair. Our lips finally parted only due to the fact that we could no longer breathe. His lips never left my skin. He kissed up and down my neck again until our breathing was some-what back to normal. Noticing that this was going to get out of hand fast I pulled away, completely unwillingly.
"What?" He asked, shocked.
I grinned at him. "Nothing. I just don't want to get too out of hand. Ellie is in the next room and she's most likely to cry at any minute - stopping us dead in our tracks."I stated.
He pouted. He always looked so cute when he pouted.
"You're such a baby, baby." I chuckled.
He pulled me back into his embrace, holding me tight against his chest.
"What would you say to a night of me and you alone in a hotel room?" He asked me.
I smiled. "I would say hell yes."
"Good." I could hear the smile in his voice. "I called Brooke earlier-" He started but I pulled away to look him in the face. "I called her earlier and I told her that you and I needed some alone time and I asked her if she and Lucas would mind coming over and watching Ellie for the night." He paused to kiss my cheek. "She agreed and is going to be here in 20 minutes. I already booked a hotel room - so you can't try to say no." He smirked.
I grinned widely. "You knew this all along, didn't you? That's why you came out here and started to put the moves on me!" I acussed. He just smiled at me. "I love you, more than you could possibly know." I stated.
He pulled me back to his chest, kissed my hair and said, "I think I have an idea. I mean if you love anywhere near as much as I love you, then I know."
