Prefect Match

Chapter 17

Eight Months Later...

It's the middle of June and she is sitting on the beach in North Carolina with a huge smile on her face. The beach was quiet except for the soft crash of waves against the sand and the faint call of hungry seagulls. The sky was blue, Bluier than anything she had ever seen before, The sun was shining on the glistening sand,, She loved the feel of the sand between her toes. She felt relaxed, calm, peaceful...Happy...

Peyton Sawyer is happy, seriously, for the first time in her life she is amazingly happy. Even thou she believes she's playing with fire, not literally of course, but she feels that there is an old imperfection in her life right now. As if everything in her life right now is to prefect, every person in her life is too happy. There has to be a law or something against all this happiness...at least Peyton thinks there should be.

She watches as Kelly and Kate,play in the ocean with Dan, ( Lucas dad) Karen, (Lucas mom) is standing near the water line, Taking pictures of the girls, Kelly looks so happy, maybe happier than Peyton has ever seen her. Life has been good to her and her daughter lately, and she owns her happiness to Lucas.

Lucas Scott, has saved her, in more ways than one. She looks out into the never-ending water, and sighed, If everything in her life is so good right now, why does she have this unease feeling that something is about to happen? That she is about to get a wake up call from this incredible dream she's been having the last eight months. Yes, eight wonderful months, have passed by, she has only known Lucas for ten months, and he has changed her life so much. for the better, And she likes to believe she's changed his to.

She closes her eyes, as she recollects her thoughts, she thinks about how wonderful life has been lately. She had a thoughtful, loving, caring, wonderful, handsome, boyfriend. Who is turning into her best friend to, she had told him everything about Brooke and Marshall, she told him about her childhood, she expressed her fears to him, her dreams to him. Everything to him. She was completely in love with him. Kelly loved him, Katie loved her, the four of them had a blast together. She was actually starting to enjoying people coming up to then , saying that they had a cute family. She was starting to see them as a family, and she loved it.

She went to Tree Hill for Thanksgiving and Christmas, Lucas wanted her to met his parents, And she fall in love with them as much as they fell in love with her and Kelly. They treated Kelly like she was their granddaughter, which meant the world to her since she didn't really have any grandparents. So when Karen called her last month, begging her to come down for the summer to their beach house she couldn't say no. She left her gallery in the hands of her two assistant, being your own boss was wonderful, as Haley tells her. She was off to have what she is hoping will be the best summer of her's and Kelly's life. Her first summer without Brooke.

She used to spent her summer breaks in LA with Brooke, but she hasn't talk to her. Brooke kept her promise, she didn't contact Peyton at all, expect to send dress to Kelly and Katie. Rachel called once a week, she visited every other month to. She missed her friends like crazy, but she just wasn't able to forgive Brooke yet, she wants to, maybe one day she will.

But for now, she has Haley and Nathan who didn't come on the trip with them, Haley who is now eight months pregnant, decided it would be safer for her to stay home, just in case the baby comes early. Everyone agreed with her. Beside the couple needed to spend a few weeks alone together before their little bundle of joy comes. And she finally, told Haley and Nathan about her past, everything, and her and Haley connected more that night. She and Haley have never be closer, she promised to always be honest and open with her from now on. So losing Brooke hurt, but she gain three very amazing close friends now.

"Mama," Kelly yelled, knocking her mom out of her thoughts.

She looked over at her daughter, " What baby?"

"Where is Luke? he suppose to play with us?" She asked with her hands on her hips.

Peyton smiles, then looks around for her boyfriend, "Hmm, I don't know, baby, let me go see if I can fine him." Kelly nods as Peyton stands up.

She walks into the beach house, looking for Lucas, As she walks into the kitchen he walks in the door with a few bags. " Hey" she said, as he walks in the room.

Lucas smiles, looking at her hungrily. Did she know what she was does to him? He wanted to venture under that cute little skirt so badly. And that tank top seemed to push her little breasts up and out at him. He put down the bags and walked to her. "Hey beautiful" He wrapped his arms securely around her waist and lowered his head to taste her lips. She tasted divine and smelled like a lavender heaven. Pulling away he looked into her amazing green eyes and his stomach fluttered.

"Well thanks for that!" she teased, " Where did you go?" she asked, as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

" Mom asked me to go to the store for her, she needed some stuff for dinner tonight." He told her, as he held her close.

Peyton watched him for a second, noticing something was wrong. " Baby, what's wrong?" she ask in a concern voice.

He looked away from her. "Nothing" he shrugged, but he didn't look at her.

" Lucas, something bothering you, I can tell" She wasn't dumb, she knows him better than he thinks she does.

" Peyton, I swear nothing's wrong" He said, as he looked in the eye. Praying she will drop it.

Peyton bit her lip, an nodded, she wasn't buying what he was saying, and it hurt her that he was lying to her. " Why are you lying to me? And don't say you're not cause I know you Luke."

He tilted his head back, silently wishing she couldn't read him that well, " Baby, I swear...I'm not lying to you" he told her, as he touched her cheek, looking her right in the eye. Kicking himself for lying to her. he just didn't what to ruin their moment. " Where's the girls?" he asked, hoping to side track her.

Peyton knew what he was doing, she knows something is wrong, but she wasn't going to push him, cause its obvious, he doesn't want her to know. " out on the beach with your parents." she says, as she thinks about her thoughts from early, wondering if what he is hiding from her is what she has been fearing all day.

"Well..." He whispered, as he bend to kiss her neck, knocking her from her thoughts, " We should go upstairs," he said, as he continued to kiss her neck.

" No, we are going out to the beach"

"Why?" he whinnied. as he pulled away from her neck, " Can't I have a few minutes alone with my girlfriend" she smiled at him. " I mean damn, look at you, " he said, as he gazed her body. " You are so damn beautiful, sometimes I just can't believe your mine."

" Believe it" she whispered, She quickly pulled his face to hers and kissed him with such passion that he almost lost his wits. She felt so amazing in his arms. She delved her tongue into his mouth and tasted every part of it. She nibbled his lip hard making him grunt with lust. The things he says to her, drivers her crazy sometimes.

He picked her up abruptly and continued to kiss her with her in his arms. She giggled and continued to kiss him back. He started walking out the kitchen, but she quickly reached out and latched onto the doorway. He wanted to take her upstairs in make love to her, since he didn't get the change to last night. They ended up sharing their bed with both Katie and Kelly, who was afraid of the loud thunderstorm that rolled in around midnight.. Changing all his plans he had for their first night here.

"Oh, no you don't. the girls are waiting for you!"

He lowered his head into her neck in defeat. He breathed her in deeply, and then let her down. "Alright, can't disappoint my girls now can I."

" Nope." Was her only response. She loved that Lucas call Kelly his girl, She helped him put everything he brought away. Then they headed out to the beach. Hand and hand, " I love you" he said, as he brought their hands up to his lips in kissed hers.

She smiled, " I love you to." she lean over in quickly pecked his lips. He winked at her.

" Lucas" Kelly yelled, as she ran to him.

" Hey pretty girl" he said, as he caught her, "What's up?' he asked, as he lifted her up in his arms. " You want play with us in the ocean?"

"Coarse, that's why I'm here." he said, as he kissed her cheek.

" He said, yes." She yelled back to Katie, " Let me down."

He did, and watched as she run to Katie, " They look happy," he said, as he pulled Peyton close to him.

" They are" she said, as she laid her head on his shoulder. Watching them climb all over Dan.

Lucas kissed the top of her head. " Are you happy?" He asked, as he looked down at her. Lifting her chin, so he could look into her eyes.

" I've never been happier" she told him with all honest, she didn't want him to know she was kind of waiting for something to happen. Like the other shoe to fall or something, she wanted to push all those negatived thoughts out of her mind, and just be...happy...

" Good, me to." Lucas dips he's head down to capture Peyton's waiting mouth. It is not a peck by any means.

. "Daddy can you stop kissing Peyton now. Come Play with us," Katie yelled,

They couple laughed, as they pulled apart. Lucas looked over at the girls, who were standing by the ocean line, with their hands on their hips, " I'm coming." he turns back to the girl in his arms. " So how about you take these clothes off and come joined us in the water." He says, as he pulls her tank top over her head. Revealing her purple bikini top, "Damn." he whispered, as he looks at her chest. Loving how the small bikini top pushes her breast together, making them look bigger. He licks his lips, then leans down in kisses the top of each breast. As his hand unbuckled her jean skirt, " How about we go inside for a few minutes. " He suggests, with a big grin.

" Mmm." she whispered, against his lips, " I don't think so" she said, as she slapped his hand away from her zipper on her skirt.

"Why?" he whinnied, " Please" he begged with his sad look.

" Not going to happen Honey, " she said, as she buckles her skirt back up. " The girls want you to play with them. Now go." she tells him as she steps away from him. Looking over his shoulders, then smiling at the girls who were still standing in the same spot. " Go Play with them, "

" I will" he said, as he pulls her back to him, " But can't I play with you first?" he said with a decidedly wolfish grin.

Peyton blushes, she puts her head down, trying not to let him know he's wearing her down, He starts kissing her neck, She exhales loudly, but her shoulders raise and she bites her lip as Lucas goes to work on her neck. She weakly slaps his shoulder. " Stop, not in front of the girls," she admonishes, glancing over at them, briefly. " Or your parents." she says noticing Karen and Dan looking at them.

"Baby, they can't hear us, we fine" he insured her

" They might not hear us Lucas, but we are in their line of vision," She wraps an arm around his neck while the other moves up and down the arm that is wrapped around her waist. " Go play with the girls now," she says, as she kisses his neck. Causing him to moan. She abandoned his neck to whisper in his ear" Then tonight you can play with me." She steps away, gives him a wink. Then starts to walk away...

Lucas stands there in watches her walk back to her towel. silently wishing that everyone on the beach would disappear for a while. He watches as she talks her skirt off and bends over giving him a great view off her ass. He walks over towards her and presses himself against her ass, letting her feel his hard on. " See what you did." he whispered, as he looks over at the girls. who thank God all building a sand castle with his parents now. He smiles, as he hears her whimper, he groans. His hands are shaking as he presses his hips hard against her ass, trying to bring some relief to the massive hard on.

"Luke.. " she starts, but before she could finish, he picks her up over his shoulder " Lucas Scott, Put me down" she yells, as she trys to wiggle out of his arms. He just laughs, as he walks to the water and throws her into the water. She comes up for air " You Jackass!" she yells. but the smile on her face lets him know she isn't really mad. He holds her in his arms before she can try for revenge, he then slowly takes her lips with his and gives her a passionate kiss, " I hate you" she said with a pout

Lucas laughs, " No, you don't you love me, as much as I love you" he was about to kiss her again. Before he noticed the girls coming towards them. He kisses her forehead and winks. She smiles and blows him a kiss.

" Do that again, throw mama in the water, Lucas" Kelly yells, as she and Katie, run towards the couple.

Peyton turns to face her daughter, " You like me getting thrown in the water?" she asked her daughter with a sad smile. Pretending she hurt her feelings.

"Yeah" Kelly laughs " It was funny." she smiled, at her mom.

" Hmm, okay," Peyton said, as she walks slowly toward her, " Lets see if you like this" she says as she picks Kelly up, and throws her in the walk, Lucas did the same thing to Katie.

Karen and Dan, sat over by the sand castle they were working on with the girls, watching the foursome play in the water. " I've never seen him this happy" Karen whispered, to her husband.

" I know, " Dan said, as he watched, the girls try to pick Lucas up.. " Peyton is really good for him, it shows how much he really loves her, and she loves him."

" Yeah, and Katie is so happy, I've never seen her like this either." Karen smiled, as she continued to watch them. She always waited Lucas to fine someone to love, someone who loved kids, and could be a mom to Katie, she was so excitedly happy, when she meet Peyton and Kelly, the first time, she knew right off that Lucas had found his soul mate.

" You know he told me Last night, that he wants to ask Peyton to marry him" Dan looks at his wife.. " Next month, actually, I asked him if he was sure, and he said, Dad, I can see my future in her eyes, she's the one, I can feel it in my heart."

Karen's eyes widen, she's not really that surprise anyone who see them together, could tell how happy in love they are. "I believe he's right, she is the one" She smiles sadly, "We have to tell him Dan"

" I know sweetheart" He replies, as he wraps his arm around his wife. Knowing that things between the happy couple was about to change, both not knowing if the change will be a good thing or bad thing. "Sad part is, not only will this affect Lucas and Peyton, but it's going to really crush Katie and Kelly."
