Sorry for the long wait with this chapter, I have written this chapter six times, and deleted it six times, it just wasn't going the way I wanted it to. I was debating rather or not I wanted Lucas to kiss her or not, and I know from all the lovely reviews, that a lot of my followers didn't want it to happen, so I was stuck where I want this to go. I hope you guys are happy with the outcome.

Please read in review, let me know what you thought. and again, I don't hate Brooke, I just dislike her a lot, when it comes to her in Lucas. I love her friendship with Peyton on the show, mostly season five, but I think Brooke could have been a better friend especially, in season one.

Cindy...

Perfect Match

Chapter 15

Peyton was standing on the second step, as the words left Brooke's mouth. "Kiss me" her eyes widen, she momentarily frozen in place. She can hear and feel her heart beating faster than ever before. " If you don't feel nothing, I'll walk away, " she hears her ex-best friend speak in her sweet and sexy voice. A voice that made Peyton's blood boil, she reaches out with her right hand in grabs the rail, she slowly sits down on the second step, she needed to sit, before her legs went out on her, and she ends up falling down the steps. She felt as if the wind was just knocked out of her, her eyes close, "No" she whispers, its dead silent down there, she hasn't heard anything in a good five or six minutes, she's not sure it the silent's is a good thing or a really, really bad thing. She sighs audibly and makes one more whispering plea. " Lucas, don't kiss her, please" a single tear escaped her eye, tumbling down her cheek.

She was resisting the urge to run down the stairs, pull Brooke away from her man...and slap her so hard that it would leave a big red hand mark on the side of her face for a few days. Then pull her by her pretty brown hair in throw her out of Nathan and Haley's house. She had millions of different ideas of what she could or should do to her, it's not like she didn't deserves it, Hell, she lucky Peyton hasn't slap her or something worsted than that yet, After hearing everything she has kept from her and now, listening to her hitting on her new man, Peyton was beyond devastated, she just didn't understand what she has ever done, that was so horrible to Brooke, that she would want to continue to hurt her.

But she didn't go down stairs to stop it, for three reasons really, One, Jeff was down there, that little boy means the world to Peyton, she would never want to do anything that would scare him of her, She doesn't believe in fighting in front of kids anyways. Second, she wasn't raised that way, she was always taught to turn the other cheek, to walk away, to never letting anyone get to her, violence is not the answer, her father always said. And thrid, she needed to know what Lucas would do, this was like a pop quiz for him, she remembered him saying, " That Brooke wasn't getting him." He told her in the most serious voice she has ever heard, "He said, he had his eye on someone else,"

"Marshall said the something, " she whispered, painfully. " No" her eyes snapped open at the sound of Lucas's voice...

Brooke was smiling her sexy smile, and batting her big brown eyes at him, her arms wrapped around his neck.

Lucas was shocked, to say, but then knowing what he did, know about the brown hair girl, he didn't really put nothing passed her. He just didn't understand why Peyton even kept her in her life if she was such a bad friend. "No" he told her flatted out

"No...What?" Brooke asked, in a confused voice.

Lucas reached back in removed her arms from around his neck, Brooke's face dropped like she was finally getting what the no meant. " I'm not going to kiss you." He told her distancing himself from her, but still looking her in the eyes.

Brooke lets out a bitter laugh, " No one has ever said no, to Brooke Davis" she put her hands on her hips, " Clearly, your gay"

Lucas rolled his eyes, " I'm not gay, Brooke, and there's always a first time for everything."

" Oh, I get it" She said, as she smiled brightly. " Peyton's in the house"

"What?"

She walked back over to him. " See you want to kiss me Lucas, I can see the want in your eyes, but your afraid that Peyton will walk in on us. I get it, you don't want to hurt her."

"No... You don't...

" Yes, I do, " She winked at him.

Lucas shook his head he was getting frustrated now. He looked over at Jeff who was now sitting in the corner with Rachel, who was reading him a story, she was trying to keep Jeff's mind off of them. " Alright, Brooke" Lucas said, as he looks at her, " You want honest?"

Brooke smiled, and tilted her head. " Please go on" she said, in a happy tone, like she already knew what he was going to say.

Rachel, stopped reading now, she was curious to, she wondered if Peyton was still in the shower, part of her wish she was, then the other part was hoping she was hearing this...

"You want to know why, I can't kiss you?" Lucas said, as Brooke nodded, " I can't kiss you and I won't kiss you tonight, tomorrow, next month, next year, ten years from now, ever. " he walked over towards her, making sure they had compete eye contacted. "Kissing you will ruined, my chance of a future with Peyton. I want a future with Peyton."

"Lucas, seriously you don't want a future with Peyton." Brooke told him, as she walked closer to him. " Peyton, is a mess, I love her, I do, even thou she in I aren't on the best of terms right now, I care for her, and I want her to be happy, but I'm sorry, Luke, it will never work with you two. "

" You don't know me Brooke,"

" No, I don't know you, but I do know Peyton, she has baggage Lucas."

"everyone has baggage Brooke."

"True that, but Peyton has more than most."

" I wondered why?" Lucas said, as he looks over at Jeff, than back at Brooke, rasing his eye brow, Brooke's eyes widen at the realization that Lucas knows about Jeff and that he probably knows about everything. " You see Brooke, everyone has baggage, I have baggage, and I'm well aware of Peyton's baggage, but I want to help her unpack hers, just like she will help me, we will help each other."

Brooke was quite for a moment and Lucas thought he finally got her to understand.. " Look, I get why your being so sweet and stuff to Peyton, you feel sorry for her, I get that, I do, and I understand that you can't kiss me not, because you don't want to, but because, you are worried that Peyton will walk in on us, or that she is listening to...

" Peyton could be across the country Brooke and I still wouldn't kiss you,." He interrupted her, Not believe she wasn't backing down, she was more screwed up then he thought. " seriously, What the hell is wrong with you?"

" There is nothing wrong with me, I just feel a connection to you, and I believe you feel it to, that's why you won't kiss me."

" I'm in love with her, " He suddenly blurts out. " I'm in love with Peyton, that's why I won't kiss you."

Peyton's eyes widen, her mouth hanging agape. Her mind went wild, No, he's just saying that, he can't be in love with me, its only been a few months, you can't be in love with someone after knowing them, only a few months? Could you? She bit her bottom lip, He does make me feel good about myself, who I am inside, and the things I do, he does accept me for who I am, my flaws and all. He hasn't run away yet, she thought after telling him, about Marshall hitting her, and that he killed himself, that he would back off but he didn't. He stuck around.

When he looks at her she swears he could see her soul, they always have a good time together, he makes her smile and laugh, and she feels safe with him. He invokes feelings in her that Marshall never did. " Oh. My. God. " as the realization hit her.. She slowly stands up, in collects herself, taking a deep breath, she slowly walks down the stairs, Stopping on the last step.

The room was silent, as Lucas and Brooke stared at each other, Rachel sat on the floor with Jeff still in her lap, with a huge smile on her face. " I love her Brooke, I don't care if you believe me or not. Cause honestly, what you think doesn't matter to me, or Peyton. I only care what she thinks, as long as she believes me, that's all that matters. "

" I...

" I want to be with her, " Lucas cut off whatever she was going to say. "I want to marry her someday, I want to be apart of Kelly's life, and I want Peyton to be apart of Katie's. "

Brooke just nodded, she then looked past Lucas in noticed Peyton standing there. She was crying, so Brooke knew she overheard their conversation. She smiled, knowing that Peyton was going to break Lucas's heart. Peyton wasn't going to return his feelings.

Lucas slowly turn around, after noticing that Brooke was looking at something behind him. He saw Peyton standing there, the tears falling from her eyes, and it scares him, he knows she heard everything, especially, they part where he said, he was in love with her, he didn't mean for it to come out yet. He just told her early, that he loved her, and now not even an hour later he's saying he's in love with her. They stare at each other, He's silent frowning out his loss of words.

She walks over towards him, annoying her ex-best friends stare and Rachel's, all she see is Lucas in this moment. Without warning, she grabs his face with both hands and crashes her lips onto his with impact. He melts into the kiss, burying one of his hands in her hair while the other rests near her hip. They both moan in unison as their tongues meet tasting each other.

As the kiss breaks, their eyes flutter open and meet. As his brow furrows and his mouth falls slightly open, she knows he wants to speak but can't find the right words. So she decided she should speak first, " Lucas, I...

Lucas shakes his head, " Wait, Peyton, before, you say anything, I know you probably heard what I said, and I know it probably scared you, but it's the truth, I do, love you, I'm in love with you, and I know it's only been a few mon...

She puts a finger to his lips, to stop him, " I love you to Lucas" she tells him, her face glowing with a happiness she rarely known in her life.

" Really?"he asks in a surprise voice.

"Yes, Really" she responds then wraps her arms around his neck, " I want the same things you want Lucas,"

He smiles as he pushes a strand of her hair behind her ear, " I love you" he whispers as their lips meet once more. Both so lost in each other that they didn't hear the front door open.

" Why are you kissing my daddy?"

Yes, another cliff hanger, I love doing that to you guys... I figured it was about time the girls found out. So next chapter will be the girls reactions.

And, I'm sorry if your disappointed cause he didn't kiss Brooke, but this is my story and I couldn't do that to my girl. I feel Peyton has already been hurt enough from Brooke, I do promise that after the next chapter, Brooke will be BYE BYE...for good. YAY!

I'm not even near the end of this story yet, I have more drama to come for Leyton, Which I promise it will NOT involve Brooke... But I really like writing this story more than all my others. So I have a few more ideas for it.

Anyways, please review, and let me know what you think, or what you would like to see, or anything... Thanks for reading.
