Lucas sighed, feeling his mind slowly coming to awareness and smiled before he even opened his eyes. He felt her curled in his arms, her body pressed flush against his with their legs tangled together. Her fingers glided across his lips, and he remembered his body moving between her legs the night before, her lips warm and supple beneath his mouth, the way she arched her back like a cat when she came, crying out his name.

He laid there thinking about how he wasn't going to come see her last night, Nathan told him to wait till their next session, but he couldn't after hearing what she said to Nathan. He knew that she had some kind of feeling for him. So he waited till Nate was fully asleep, then quietly stepped out of the room. He wasn't to sure what her reaction was going to be, especially with him showing up at her door at 1:43 in the morning, but now he was surely in hell glad that he didn't listen to Nath. If he did he wouldn't be laying in her bed holding her sleeping body close to him with a huge smile on her face, clearly she was as happy, as happy as he was, or she was dreaming of the loving making they just done hours ago.

Flashback to 1:43 am.

Lucas stood outside Peyton's door, silently debating to knock or not. He was nervous and excited. He was nervous because, he wasn't sure on her reaction of him showing up like this and what he was going to say to her. He was excited because, he knew that there was definitely something going on between them.

He knocked twice on the white door, he was about to knock again when he heard. "I'm coming, I'm coming" her voice was low and he could tell he had just woken her up.

He smiled, nervously as he heard her unlock the door. He was completely breathless as she opened the door. She standing in front of him with wide eyes and a look of confusion on her beautiful face. Her hair was mess, she had no make up on, she was wearing a New York Giants jersey, and a pair of black boy shorts. She looked gorgeous. Was all he think of.

Peyton was shocked, she really thought it was Brooke knocking on her door. Since she called her best friend in told her what happen between her in Nathan and, what Nathan said to her. Brooke was ready to track him now and give him a piece of her mind. But Peyton told her to let it go. She knew he didn't mean what he said, he was just upset over her saying he wasn't Lucas.

She never expected to see Lucas standing at her door at one in the morning. Looking so damn sexy, in his light blue jeans, a navy blue shirt, that totally went with his eyes. His hair was a mess, he looked like he hasn't slept in days. He kinda looked like he did the first time she meet him. Not that she was complaining, she wanted to talk to him, she wanted to see him, but she figure she had to wait till their next session if their was one.

"God your gorgeous" he whispered, as she locked eyes with him. She blushed, and wrapped her arms around herself.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" She asked quietly and nervously. She wanted to tell him he looked sexy, but decided to keep it low key. for now at least.

Lucas rubbed the back of his neck, as he always did when he was nervous. "I know it's late, but I really wanted to talk to you" he decide to get right to the point with her, no more hiding.

"Oh, Umm......okay." Peyton said, as she wondered what he wanted to talk to her about, that just couldn't wait till a reasonable hour. "Umm.... come in" she stepped aside so he could come in. She closed her eyes as he stepped passed her. She loved the way he smelled.

"So...can I get you a drink or something?" She asked, as she closed the door and faced him again.

"No, I fine" he smiled, All Peyton could think was yes you are fine. "I really just wanted to talk, I know that I could of waited till are next session, but I just have to do this now or I'm afraid I will never be able to."

Peyton just nodded, she wasn't to sure where this was going. She wondered if Nathan told him about what happen between them. Was he here to yell at her for kissing his brother? Was he here to tell her he doesn't want her? That he just wants to be friends?

" Well what do you want to talk about?" she asked, as she walked over to her couch, she patted a spot beside her. But Lucas sat on her coffee table right in front of her. She wasn't really to sure how she felt about that either.

"What I have to say I want to be able to look you right in the eyes, so you can tell how serious I'm and, that I'm not lying" he said, as he reached for hands.

"Ok" she whispered, her heart was beating out of control. She bit her lip as they both stare at each other.

"I'm falling for you Peyton, I'm falling so damn hard for you, that I seriously don't know what to when I'm not around you." he paused, looking down at their entwining hands. " I know we have only know each other for a month, but I feel like I've known you forever. Like we were meant to meet each other, we were meant to be together. I know I don't know much about you, but I want to know everything about you I need to know more about you." he said, as he looks up at her.

"You're falling for me?" She asks stunned and amazingly shocked.

"Yes, more and more each day." he said, still locking at her confused face. He was worried now of her reaction

"You can't" she whispered, "You don't even know .........

" I love the smell of your hair," he said, out of nowhere. Making her question where he was going with this " the subtle vanilla essence that unhinges my senses. every time I'm out somewhere I smell that prefect smell I look around hopping to fine you somewhere. the cute little lip bite thing you do when you're nervous or concentrating. The way you turn your head when you blush, or put your head down because, you don't want no one to see you cry." Lucas reached out to move a strand of hair away from her face and tucked it behind her ear. "How you leave your eyes close after we kiss, like your cherishing the moment." He brought his hand to her cheek and cupped it pulling her close kissing her softly

Her mouth opened up, allowing him to slip his tongue inside and stroke hers. After what seemed like an eternity of duelling, they broke apart. Lucas smiled, as he watch her sit there with her eyes close. "I love the way your eyes gaze over when I'm inside you" Peyton's snapped open, "When we are together in that intimate way, I feel like the king of the world, my studies, my worries, are all gone. Because nothing matters when we are together, you said you believed in me and I felt like I was walking on water. I believe, no, I know that we could be amazing together. I want to be with you, I want you as my girlfriend." he's tone was serious and she knew it. He takes her hand in his, entwining it together,

Peyton sat there silently, still stunned at his words, her heart was beating faster then it ever had. Her mind was going 200mph. Is he been serious? duh he is serious, it like two in the morning he is here pouring his heart out to me. Could they really be together? Would they really last? She knew she had some feelings for him, he is the reason she stop things with Nathan. What about Nathan? Does Nathan know he is here? Did Nathan put him up to this? Her questioned needed answers and she knew only Lucas would have them.

Her silents was making Lucas more nervous, He releases her hand and places it on her hip. Slowly he carefully slides his hand to her lower back and pulls her even closer to him,

""What are you thinking Peyton?, say something, anything?" he begged, he needed to know where she stood with him. Now that he poured his heart out to her.

"Honestly I'm not sure what to say." She bites her bottom lip

"I want you to be honest with me, Do you have any feelings for me?"

"Yes." She whispers " but..

"No buts Peyton, I know you are feeling what I'm feeling or you wouldn't of stop thing with Nathan tonight"

Her eyes widen she was shocked that Nathan told him. "He told you what happen?"

"Yeah, don't be mad at him, I've been wanting to tell you this for awhile now, but I was afraid you didn't feel the same. Then he told me what happen and that give me the final push." he said, as he moves to sit beside her, his arms around her, their hands entwined. Her back presses against his chest. She felt like a teenager again all nestled up in her boyfriends arms.

They breathe rhythmically with the other, hugging her as she fell back comfortably on him, her head resting on his shoulders "I'm scared" she admitted quietly

"Why?"

She took a deep breath, "I like you a lot Lucas, I do, but I don't want to come in between you and Nathan. And after what happen tonight. I know that he still has some feelings for me"

Lucas kissed the top of her head, "Do you have any feelings left towards him?" he asked, not really sure if he wanted the answer.

"No, I don't." she said, as she looked up at him in smiled. "I aways wondered, what would of happen with us if I went to Duke with him, or he if came to New York with me. Would we still me together? Would we have lasted a little longer? Would we have just fall out of love? Were we meant to be? But I realized now, after seeing him that I wasn't really missing him personally I was missing being in a relationship. I was missing having someone to talk to, Someone to cry to, someone to hold me and to love me. Am I making any sense here?" she questioned, still looking at him.

"Yeah, I understand, I do, about year ago I was so lonely, that I actually called up Lindsey. I told her I was just wondering how she was? But the truth is, I was hoping she was as lonely as I was, just so I could have excuse to see her. Then she told me she was happy, and she was in love, and that she was expecting her first child. I wasn't heartbroken over her finding someone. I was jealous, that she found someone before, I did. Listening to her talk about her new guy, make me realized that Lindsey and I weren't meant to be. She was meant to be with this Will guy, and I was meant for someone else, I just haven't find her yet, well till now."

"Do you really think, we are meant to be?" She asked, biting her lip, she was starting to believe that he was what she was looking for to. He was the reason no other relationship worked out.

"I don't think, I know" he said, as he moved her to his lap. "Faith brought us together"

"You believe in faith?" she asked, as she played with the hem of his shirt.

"Yeah I do, don't you?" he asked, as he ran his fingers through her hair.

Peyton shrug her shoulders, " Sometimes I do, on certain things, like my faith in god, my faith in life, but I never really had faith in love."

"Why? you were in love with Nathan right?"

"yeah, but I never believed faith brought us together, I was a cheerleader, he was a basketball player, we were both popular, so it make sense that we got together. I never really believe in anything."

"Really, everyone has to believe in something. What about when you were younger, didn't you believe in fairly tales?"

"I never believed in fairy tales, tho sometimes I wish I could, I never believed that golden slippers could ever find the perfect foot. I never believed in magic, or that wishes could come true, I guess because no one has ever believed in me. I always wanted someone to say they believe in me, like Julian does to Brooke, I jus...........

"I believe in you." Lucas said, as touched her chin, stopping her from finishing her sentence. "I do Peyton, I believe in you," he voice was low and sweet. " I wa..............

He started to explained why he said that, but was cut off by Peyton's lips. He was surprise, but he wasn't going to stop her. So he kissed her back passionately. She pulls back smiling at him, "come on" she said, as she stands up. Lucas looked at her confusedly, he watches as she walk down the hall. "Are you coming?" she yelled, once she is out of view.

He walked into her room, he smiles as he see her standing in the middle of the room. "You are staying right?" she asked, as he stops in front of her.

"If you want me to?"

"Yeah I want you to." she says quietly as she places her hands on his chest. She leans in and begins to kiss him. He returns the kiss and deepens it. He started to run his hands under her blouse caressing her skin. They continued kissing and he led them over to her bed. He gently pulled her shirt over her head, breaking the kiss momentarily. Their eyes never leaving each other. After throwing her shirt to some unknown spot he returned to her, kissing her neck and shoulders. She was running her hands up and down his arms and shoulders, enjoying the feeling of his lips and tongue on her skin again.

She began unbuttoning his shirt and removing it. Kissing his shoulders as she removed it. Their movements becoming more heated as the moments passed. She unbuttoned his pants and he assisted her by stepping out of his shoes and pants.

Luke slowly removed her black boy shorts and panties showering her with kisses at the skin he passed along the way. After removing the remainder of her clothing he gently laid her back on the bed. He lowered himself so that he was lying half way on top of her. Still showering her with kisses and gentle touches.

They begin to kiss again and they locked eyes and Lucas took in Peyton's beauty. "You are so damn Beautiful" He sat up so that he could crawl on his knees astride her hips. They leaned in to each other, their breaths ragged, kissing, licking, sucking, and caressing each other all over.

When he finally entered her it was slow and gentle. He allowed time for her to adjust to him and when she nodded her approval they started to move together in a rhythm that was all their own.

Her nails scraping down his back and his entwined in her hair. With each touch, with each kiss, with each moment that passed they continue to express their feelings for each other in a way that they have never done with other lovers, and when they came together it was more powerful than anything either of them had felt before. They fell back on the bed together, entangled in each others arms.

"I love you" Lucas whispered, as he helded her close.

Peyton smile, " I think I love you to" she whispered back, Lucas just nodded, He wasn't going to question the I think, part not yet, he knew she was a little overwhelmed with everything that has happen in the last twenty-four hours. He was just glad that they were both on the side page for now.

END OF FLASHBACK.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lucas looked over at her and smiled, "You sleepily head" he said, as he lean over in kissed her.

"How did you sleep?"

"Good, really good" she smiled, laying her head back on his chest, "This is nice, waking up with you like this"

"Yeah it is, but I got to go I have a class in like forty minutes" he said, in a disappointed voice.

"That sucks, but I got a session and an hour so, I guess we both need to get up" She said, as she climbed out of bed, putting on her robe. Lucas got dressed, while Peyton make coffee.

"God your beautiful" he whispered in her ear, as he wrapped his arms around her. She just shook her head, as she turn to face him. He caresses her face and kisses her gently, after a few moments of just holding each other. Lucas finally leaves and Peyton headed for the shower.

After her quick shower, her cell rings, she runs over to it thinking it is her office, "Yeah," she answered, as she walks into her closet.

"Miss Sawyer, this Dave Hardy, head of the university's broad, I would like for you to stop by my office this afternoon.

"Um.. ok sure, can I ask what for?" She questioned, as she sat down on her bed.

"It has been brought to our attention, that you might have crossed some lines with a client of yours, And we will like to talk to you about it."

Peyton closed her eyes, "I will be there" she said, then hangs up the phone. "This can't be happening" she says, as she runs her fingers through her hair.

Well, I wanted to say sorry for the long wait, I had no idea it's been almost two months since I last update this. So please forgive me, So what do you think? I promise you all some LP so I hope you like it. What do you think Dave is going to say to her? How do you think they found out? Please review, and thanks for reading

I'm working on the final chapter of Living with heartache now, so I hope to have that up soon.

What did you guys think of the new Oth Monday night?

I was a little disappoint, I mean I know Leyton is gone, but I thought they were going to at least give us some idea to where there are, and why they left. You know. I love the whole Brooke and Julian think. I'm so don't happy where the whole Naley story line is going, I know Nath didn't cheat on her, that girl just wants money. I can't believe Dan has his on talk show and has wrote a book now. They sure did a 360 on him. Let me what you think?

Thanks again
