AN: Hey! Before I say something about this drabble, I feel like I need to say something about the previous first. I hope you figured it out like KTxx did, but I forgot to mention that the last drabble was set during 6x01. Sorry for not mentioning that!

As for this one, it is dedicated to KTxx for suggesting to write something in this timeline! I actually wrote it only a couple of days ago, so normally, it would get posted way later, but then you were all amazingly sweet and dedicated a chapter of yours to me, so I thought, "aah, let's just post this one right now." I hope you like this, and there might be some more in this timeline in the future ;)

It's set in between s4 and s5, before Lucas proposed and everything went downhill for them. Hope you all like it!

Also, as always, many, many thanks to KTxx, OTHGirl24 and GinniRoetol. Did I mention already that I love that username of yours, GinniRoetol? :P And never mind that you start to sound like a broken record! I don't mind at all and I don't know if you have noticed yet, but I am a huge broken record myself. I just keep on saying the same things over and over again ;) anyway, thank you so much for your review! (See? That's what I mean with being a broken record :P)

23. Waking Up Next to the One You Love

"I missed this." Peyton smiled as soon as she opened her eyes and was met with the lazy smile of her boyfriend. "I always loved waking up next to you."

"Yeah, 'cause that happened so much, you know, when we were dating in high school." He mumbled half sleepily and somewhat teasingly.

She shoved his arm slightly, but still got closer to him. "Shut up, you know what I mean." She said. "I just, I missed you."

"I know, I missed you too." Lucas smiled, tilting his head to give her proper kiss. "So, what are the plans for today?"

"I don't know," Peyton shrugged as she sat up straighter in the bed. "I could show you around here a little, LA is a nice city."

He looked up at her and gave her a crooked smile. "Hmm, sounds good. You know what else sounds good too, though?" She only raised her eyebrows, waiting for him to continue. "We could just stay here in bed all day as well." He suggested, grinning, before pulling her back to him.

Letting out a surprised squeal, she laughed blissfully, "Yeah, I guess that sounds pretty good too."
