After staring at the ceiling for the umpteenth minute Lucas's eyes begins to close and his anger furthers as she doesn't pick up her phone again after calling her numerous time. Her phone goes to the voicemail after ringing four times and the more he called the more he got angry at the fact that she was avoiding him.

He falls asleep with his fist balled up as his breathing rises and fall, louder and deeper than usual, the calmness fading at the fact that his girlfriend wasn't at home yet and her phone was of no service to him.

Peyton walks in a with a surprised look on her face, she wasn't expecting to see Lucas, Especially alseep on her couch, in her apartment, She wondered how he got in?

Quietly she tiptoes over to her couch, sitting right next to him, stroking his cheek and combing his hair back. "This is going to be so hard" she said, to herself. She smiled, at the cute way he was sleeping.

Slightly he twitches at the touch, a hand so cold yet so warm, concluding his short nap.

His eyes blink, opening and closing, shocked at the sight in front of him. Her soft curls down with a smile to match a face so heavenly.

"Hey Beautiful"

"Hey"

"Sorry"

"Sorry about what?"

"I know your probably wondering how I got in"

"Yeah the thought did cross my mind."

"I called your cell phone like hundred times,"His voice starts to soften. "I wanted to see you but you never answer. So I came over here, Brooke was actually looking for you to. So she let me in. I hope that's okay"

"Yeah, it's fine" she smiled, "I wanted to talk to you to"

Lucas looks at his watch noticing it's a little after midnight. "Where were you?"

She hesitantly answers, looking down at the ground before her eyes meet his.

"I was with a friend from work. We decided to stop by for happy hour before dinner. I didn't know you would be here." she lied, she didn't want to tell him she was out looking for his brother. She wasn't sure how Lucas would take the news, that Nathan is the one who turned them in.

"How could you, it's not like we've talked the past week." He clenches his teeth as he talks, his anger improving more with each word.

"Lucas, there is so much going on right now in I'm so confused,"

"Why did you come to me?" He said, as he sat up. "Peyton, I would be there for you, Why did you tell me about the broad finding out but us?"

"I...don't...k...

"Bull shit Peyton" he yelled.

"Excuse me?" Peyton question, clearly pissed that he is saying she is lying.

"You all glad this happen,"

"What?"

"It's your exspace from us,"

"I don't need to have an exspace plan Lucas." Peyton said, as she stood up walking over to the window. Trying to hide her face,

"I'm not dumb Peyton, We are getting serious, in it scares you" Lucas said, as he stood up from the couch.

"Your crazy"

"You are falling for me, as much as I am for you, and it's scaring the hell out of you."

"no, no, no, your wrong" she says quietly, tears are slowly coming down her face.

"Okay, turn around in tell me you don't feel nothing for me. It you can do that I will leave, without looking back."

Peyton wiped her eyes, took a deep breath, in slowly turn around. "I feel nothing for you Lucas, it was just sex. nothing more."

He starers at her from a moment, she is biting her lip, in shaking, he knows she is lying.

"Your lying" he said, as he walks towards her.

She starts shaking her head, "No, I...not Lucas..."

"Peyton I know you are feeling what I'm feeling. "He said, as he wrapped his arms around her. pulling her close to him. "Forget about everything, for just a moment and please me honest with me" He pleads, "Tell me how you really feel about me please"

Peyton looks him in the eyes, noticing the pleading look. His eyes are red, She knew she had to be truth for.

She gently places her hands on his cheek, caressing his face. For long enough her lips slants over his and a smile finally makes it to his lips.

In without another thought she says. "I love you Lucas Scott"

His eyes pop of their socket as he watches her with complete and utter surprise with his mouth agape. "Yea?" He asks, still in wide eye shock.

"Yeah, you wanted me to be honest," she smiled, still holding his face in her hands. "I'm in love with you."

"You surprise me. First I was in fear, especially after today little meeting. That maybe you'd change your mind about us, that maybe there wouldn't be an us anymore…then…then you go do something crazy and you tell me you love me."

"I do love you Lucas."

"It's really nice to hear." He admits with a big bright smile on his face and real sparkle in his eyes.

He takes her hands, both hands, her palms staring at him, lightly kissing it while she stares into his eyes.

"I'm so so in love with you."

"I like the sound of that." She instantly kisses his lips, his hands moving up to cup her face and hers move over his, slightly holding it as the kiss intensifies.

His lips parts, his tongue drawing out, tasting the lovely cream of vanilla on her lips from her chap stick applied earlier on the day before heading home from the bar slash restaurant. Both sets of his teeth, upper and lower grabs a hold of her lower lip, faintly nibbling on it.

He explores the glares of her eyes, radiating the love he'd been longing for sometime now. Her very soul, majestic and charming as it would always be, her past being who she was, hurt and pained by a lost love until he picked her up and showed her the light, a life she'd been missing out on.

"I love you…" She whispers besides his ear, as he boldly lets his lips dance on her neck whilst his hands journeys further down, gently rubbing fine tiny circles on the pit of her stomach with the tips of his fingers, down over by the hem of her skirt.

He flicks his tongue over her pulse, suddenly emerging over his lips as he lays light tender kisses over her bare skin, riding over to her shoulder then down to the fabric covered hastening beat of her heart.

A burst of ecstasy smoothes over his mouth as he captures her lips once more. Filling to the brim, a rush of excitement moves in her body, gently swaying her hips in a slow motion, turning about in circles. Muffling his voice, he sighs under his breath as his pants starts to get tight and a wild expression on his face watches her eyes becoming awake in the course of their actions.

Moving ever so slowly his hands lay underneath her clothing, reeling in sighs of moan from her as he approaches near the delicate and sensitive part of her breast. Lightly scratching it with his calloused fingertips, he induces another moan and another as his lips land on the crook of her neck, his tongue coming out to taste a soft essence of her perfume and the natural quality of her skin.

Separated by their clothing, he starts to fool around with the buttons of her top, undoing them with the flick of his fingers as lips draw out sensuous moans from her, rippling from her throat and up the caves of her mouth.

His lips softly teases her, gently kissing the crook of her neck and melting her away as it draws up the rear of her ear, nibbling by the hairline and receding back to her frame, following her jaw and ending at her lips so soft, ever alluring as she calls his name over and over

He grins immensely, his chest heaving in and out erotically, as more skin is discovered from unbuttoning her top. Embarrassingly, he turns beet red at the sight of her black lace bra, half cropped out with her breast almost popping out and part of her own nipples exposed, just a smidge to tease him ever so slightly.

The phone ring, but doesn't stop them, it rings again in again. "Peyton, are you going to get that?"

She slips from his hold, sliding along his sleek body, covered in a savory sweat she tastes along the way, kissing his naked torso, her tongue licking on his chest, then sucking on the buds of it, percolating it even more, arousing him as hard as it could be, hot and completely enticed.

His belt buckle makes a loud noise as her fury hands undo it hurriedly. Aggressively pulled down his pants lay down to his ankles, a smirk clear on her face. "Nope, the machine will"

He groans and grunts, his hand deep in the mess of her hair as she lowers her lips, following along the lines of his happy trail, deliberately seducing him with the way of her tongue on his flesh and the warmth of her hands underneath his boxers, palming his hardness

But all motion is stopped, by familiar voice. "Peyton, Look I know you are probably really upset with me, And I'm sorry, I wish I could take it back, Look Brooke told me that you are in some trouble now at work, and that you are ending things with Lucas tonight and...

Peyton run acoss the room in stop the answer machine but it was to late.

"Lucas" she said, as she turn back around

Lucas pulled his pants up, "Why is Nathan calling you? And how does Nathan know about work, and what the hell was he talking about you had it all plan to dumb me tonight."

"Lucas."She cried,

"Save it Peyton" He said, as he grabbed his shoe. "I can't do this right now."

"Lucas please, it's not what you think?" she begged.

"So you wasn't planning on breaking up with me?" he asked. When she didn't answer. "Yeah that's what I thought.

Goodbye Peyton,"

He slammed the door, as Peyton fell to the floor crying.
