Age Is Just A Number
Chapter 23 Making Things Right
Their bodies never felt so alive and her heart never pounded so fast and so hard as he lays her down on her bed. Gently, his lips tracing over her face, meeting her lips as he swallows her fully with his eyes.
She blushes and hides her face on the crook of his neck. Her breath is hot against his skin, crawling so slowly up his chin as her lips partially touches him.
"I'm so happy." She smiles.
"Yea?" He grins."me to baby."
"Yea," she nods, kissing his lips.
"I love you Peyton." He pulls her body closer, his hands on the small of her backā¦
"I love you to," she whispered, in anticipation of his lips, her breath becoming fast, as his face gets closer and closer.
He smiles his studious smile with a playful hint that crosses between their lips. When tongue meets tongue two souls unite, combining into one, their worlds just their own. A mental escape breezes by as they hold each other tightly, closely, their breaths merely just disillusionment to live because it was them, it was within each other they felt alive.
"I can't wait to be Mrs. Scott." she whispers in his ears.
Idle hands fell upon her body, his eyes exploring the roots of her souls, as they look into each other's eyes. An entwining, locking in between as they inhale and exhale. Her lips draw him near and his eyes closes as soon as he feels the warm temptation on his.
"Then let's not wait?" he replies seriously."Let's get married this weekend."
Chase sat across for Brooke, as he waited her response. He sees the tears and immediately reacts, wiping them away with his fingers, softly caressing her skin with his.
"I'm so confused," she tells him.
"Then let me help unconfused you."
She nods her head whilst removing his hand away from her face, wiping away her own tears.
He slowly leans down, his hand brushing back her hair, his lips grazing hers before softly kissing her on her lips.
She kisses him back, her hand running through his spikes then pulling his head closer, as they both anticipate the taste of each others tongue mixed in with saltines of her tears.
"Why did you just kiss me?" She asks him.
"Same reasons you kissed me back." He answers. " I love you Brooke and, I know you Love me. I promise I will never hurt you again. All I'm asking for is a second chance and, if you give it to me I promise I will never let you go again."
"I have to go." she said, as she stands up.
"Don't go Brooke." he said, as he also stands. "Please stay lets talk, I know we can work thing out."
"I need time" she whispered, as she walked to the door.
"Brooke, don't go p...
"If you love me." she said, as she interrupted him. " Then give me time," she open the door.
"Bye Chase."
"Bye Brooke." he whispered, as he fell down on the couch.
Peyton looks at him with a bit of confusion "What?" she asked, questionably. "Are you serious?"
"Yes, I'm very serious." He said, as sat up on his knees. "I love you, I want to marry you, I don't want to wait."
"Lucas" she whispered, as she shook her head. She also sat up. "I do love you and I really want to marry you, but...
"But nothing Peyton. What is stopping us?"
"Your family." Her voice trails off.
"Peyton" he exhales.
"No, don't Peyton me." she say stopping him for whatever he was going to say. " You know I'm right, Lucas, they hate me, And I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I do, and I want to raise our baby together, but I also want to get to know your family, I want them to like me Lucas. I want are child to have aunts and uncles, and cousins and grandparents." she pauses to wipe away a couple of tears.
"I have no family, but Brooke, and it sucks, I have no father to walk me now the ale, or a mother to help me plan the wedding of my dreams or to tell me what I can expect during my pregnancy and the deliver. " She starts to yell, her own damn emotions getting the best of her,
"Peyton." he whispered, his heartbroken as he watch her little break down.
" I love Brooke," she says, after calming down a bit. " she is the best, she is like my sister she has been with me through everything, she has seen me at my best and, she has seen me at my worst. But there are things that even she can't help me with, she try, she really does and, I love her for it, I do. I miss my mom, so damn much that hurts sometimes. When I found out I was pregnant, you don't know how much I wished she was still alive. Just so I could tell her and, asks her if I was doing the right thing. I know she would have probably not like the fact that I'm eighteen and, she would have been upset, but in time, she would have accepted it. "
"Baby." Lucas say, as he pulls her to him. "ssh, ssh," he whispered, as she strokes her hair and kisses the side of her head.
"I wish you could have met her Lucas." she swallows. "She was so beautiful, so caring, she had such a big heart."she smiles a little, "My dad would have loved you, they both would have." she looks up at him. and he kisses her forehead. " You are so lucky Lucas, you still have your mom, and a guy who treats you like you're his son. You have Chase, and adorable nephew, and you have Nathan and Haley, I know you hate them right now, but Luke life is too short to live with hate."
"I know," is all he can say, he knows she has a point, but he just can't let go of the fact that Nathan lied to him.
"We can't get married." she whispered into his neck.
"Peyton d...
"Lucas, I want to marry you, but I won't marry you, till you're family gives us their blessing."
Haley sat in bed reading, well she was more in deep thought, then she was in the book. She couldn't get the look of hurt and, disappointment that appeared on Lucas face when he realized that they lied to him. She also thought about today at the clinic, the smile on Lucas face when Peyton show up.
"I'm sorry." she said, as she fell Nathan climb into their bed.
"What?" he asked, as he turned to face her.
"I'm sorry" she repeat again. " I'm sorry, that I convinced you to keep Joshua from Lucas." I'm sorry that I took Lindsey side," she grabbed his hand. " I should have took your, I should of told Lindsey that Lucas needed to know. I should have question her if Lucas was really the father before showing up at his place, and let everything get so out of hand." she was looking at him, sadly her ears full of tears.
"Haley, it not all you're fault. I could have just told Lucas the truth, I could have ignored you, but I didn't I went along with it, you didn't make me do anything." He said, as he pulled her to him.
"I screwed up Nathan." she said, as she laid her head on his chest.
"We screwed up Haley. I'm as much to blame as you are." he sighed,
"You think he will ever forgive us."
"I don't know, I think he needs time. "
"What about Jamie?" she asked, as she wiped away her tears. " I don't want him to cut Jamie out of his life, just because, we screwed up."
"Me either" he whispered.
"Today at the clinic, it hit me what I was doing was wrong, to Lucas and Peyton."
"What made you realized that?"
"I was sitting there staring at Lucas, waiting on him to say something or do something. Just so I could started a fight with him,. He looked so sad and worried, but then Peyton walked in." she said, as she sat up. "When Lucas saw her, he lite up like a Christmas tree, he looked at her like she was the only one in the room. You should see the smile that gazed his face, when the nurse call Peyton his wife."
"I told you they loved each other."
"I know, I just wished I would have listen."
"Well, maybe we can fix it now, that we both realize that we were wrong."
"You think?" she asked, as she looked at him.
"Yeah, I do, I think we should invited them over for dinner one night."
"Do you think they will come?"
"Let me handle that." he said, as he kissed her forehead. "I also think we should invite Brooke and Chase too."
"What? why? Chase is mad at us to. and, I thought he ended this with Brooke, I thought she left."
"Chase is upset that we lied to Lucas. And, I'm not to sure if he in Brooke are back together, but I know she is back." He sighed, "And I also know that Chase is going to need us."
"What is wrong with Chase?" she asked, in her worried voice.
"Brooke's pregnant."
Haley's eyes when wide, "What?"
"Yeah, Chase called me right before I came to bed. He said, that Brooke and, he were expecting a baby, she is three months. and he is trying to get her to take him back. but it's not going to well."
"Wow!" was all Haley could come up with.
"Yeah, so I think it's time. We make things right."
"Me to," she whispered. "So dinner tomorrow night?"
"Yeah, I'll call them in the morning." He said, as he pulled her down with him. " I love you."
"I love you to," she whispered, as she kissed him. then laid her head down on his chest.
