Fate always gives us a chance to love again, we're the ones left to determine if we want to seize that chance.

Peyton M. Lake.

Peyton.

"Peyton!" I groaned hearing Murdock yell from downstairs, it was too early in the morning for his brand of loud. "Babe you've gotta wake up or he'll keep yelling." Kol nudged me and I whined not wanting to get up.

"You go see what he wants." I whined and he chuckled. "Babe I don't think it would be good to go check whatever he's yelling about downstairs with morning wood like this." He brushed his cock up my thigh and I whined again. "Just think of those disturbing photos James sent us from his date with Shawn when they were doing daredevil bike riding." I offered and he spanked me.

"What, they were horrific." I mumbled and he spanked me again. "With you naked and laid out for me, I can't think about that, just your thick ass that my hand can't seem to even capture a part of it." He nuzzled my neck then began kissing me and I knew that was my que to wake up. "My body is sore, I'm not having any of that with you, rub yourself if you want." I replied and he scoffed.

"Nope cold shower should do the trick." He explained and I rolled my eyes getting out of bed, I pulled up my boxers and wore Kol's large shirt which went down to my thigh, and walked out, the beauty of heated floors or rather a perfectly heated house was that I didn't need to excessively wear warm clothes.

I made my way downstairs. "Peyto— oh you're here." Doc exclaimed as he was about to yell again. "I regret putting your thumbprint on the door." I retorted and he rolled his eyes. "Morning Taj." I greeted as the man was in my kitchen probably making breakfast on Doc's orders.

"Morning Peyton, eggs, pancakes, french toast anything else?" He asked. "Crisp bacon and sausages, there are muffins on the kitchen counter, you can add those to the platter before they lose their freshness, and oh dad like his coffee pressed and hot." I added and he nodded and began to work on the breakfast.

"Thank you for having a man who can cook." I gratefully spoke next to Doc and he chuckled. "You're welcome." He retorted. "So what brings you to my house at nine thirty in the morning?" I inquired whilst he pulled out his phone.

"Were having a small new years party right here, I already have everything planned, the guest list is set, all you need to do is help me set up, and don't worry Kol knows." He explained as my jaw hit the floor. "How, when, why?" I questioned and he looked at me like that was the dumbest thing I could've asked.

"Peyton this year has been the best year of our lives, I got a daddy, you got one too, you have a house, a literal family, a kid on the way, plus you got to see Europe, and that's not even all the good things that happened this year, though bad shit happened like Mark, the fight you had against those goons, your mother in law trying to kill you, all I'm saying is that this year was great and it also had its bad moments, for surviving them we need to celebrate." I nodded with a goofy smiled knowing Doc was right.

This year had been the best year of my life, I had so many ups and downs that it's shocking I even survived it but I did and that was something to celebrate, plus we needed a reason to celebrate the new year anyway.

"I will help you set up, and I think this is an awesome idea, thank you for doing this." I hugged the best friend I would always have no matter what, Doc had been my rock, and my guiding light during bad circumstances, and now that love had finally found him I only wished that it stayed but from the looks of it Havier Tajil in all his 6'5 glory was staying for my chubby gay best friend.

"Morning bitches." Shawn walked down the stairs looking like myself, in James's shirt and nothing else. "I sweat you live here now." I sarcastically retorted and he scoffed. "Don't act as if you don't like the company Peyton, this house is big enough." He asserted and both Doc and I rolled our eyes with a chuckle.

"Hey Mr. Taj." He greeted plopping himself next to me on the couch. "So we getting ready for the party or what Doc?" He asked and I was shocked again. "Am I the only one who didn't know?" I questioned and they both nodded. "In my defense, I was told yesterday when James and I went to get the cake from his place to here." He defended and I wondered why the hell I didn't see the cake.

"And where exactly is the cake Rafiki's second cousin." I chortled and he smacked my arm. "Hey that's rude, bitch of the whore wide west." Shawn jabbed back and Doc was laughing his ass off. "Morning Doc, hey Taj." Kol greeted as he came down the stairs in sweat pants and tee looking as fine and the first time I saw him outside that bar.

"Morning Kol." Doc replied just as Taj called us all for breakfast, Mr Tempest who I've started calling dad like he insisted came down the stairs looking forty and not fifty making me realize that's how he won worlds sexiest man back in his prime, James walked down just behind him.

I was proud of the progress he was making, he had started working on his degree again, online, so that he could help Kol with the business, he had also set up appointments with a therapist to sort out his own issues which I found not necessary to probe into as they were his, he was making sufficient effort and I was proud of him.

"Let's start clearing out and getting ready after breakfast, though the party starts at seven, it's always good to have an early handle on everything." Doc exclaimed and no one argued, so as we ate the beautiful and delicious breakfast made by Doc's man we were assigned our tasks that we immediately got to after.

"I think that's all of it and we have an hour to get ready." Shawn asserted as we placed the last platter of appetizers on the table in the lounge. "How many people are coming anyway?" I asked Doc as he walked into the lounge. "My man's relatives, Shawn's mom, James's old college buddy and also only friend, Kieran and her brother couldn't make it, you and Kol have Laurent and Joey coming and thats it." Doc explained and I was okay with his list.

"Im going to get ready." I announced walking out knowing I would take the most time just getting ready, the reason, I had no reason, I just took my time to look pretty and no one could say shit about it. As I was in the bathtub Kol walked in and stripped, he joined me in the bathtub and I leaned on him.

"We survived this year huh." He asserted and I nodded feeling the impact of this year. "Peyton I want you to know, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me, you gave me love, a home, taught me the right way to love, and mended my broken heart, I will never betray your love or trust, I will never leave you to suffer anything alone, I will always stick by you faithfully till we both die." Kol confessed and pressed a kiss to my shoulder.

Though I tried not to cry, I did, I couldn't contain my tears, his words brought out so much emotion in me and I couldn't contain these emotions, and so my tears came, I wiped them away and turned my head. "Kol I don't have some profound words to tell you, but just know that fate gave me a second chance at finding love and I seized the opportunity to have that love, I don't regret my decision, I will never regret my decision, I will always love you, and every part of me yearns for you so if you'll have me one day, I swear now that I will always choose you." I responded and he held close to him as we sat there.

"I love you my sweet pea." He mumbled. "And I love you daddy." I muttered.

After the emotional moment with my man, we made it downstairs almost two hours later, because we decided to just be us and enjoy the moment. The party went on in full swing, everyone was enjoying themselves to their hearts content, and from the corner of my eye, I noticed a sight that made me smile.

"Taj did you plan that?" I asked looking over to Mr. Tempest and the man who he was talking to, of course, he was laying on his charm to the other man, you could see it in their body language. "I might have." He mischievously agreed and I hugged him. "Thank you, thank you so much, he deserves to love again and from the looks of it, Kol might have a stepfather in the future." I assorted and we both chuckled.

"Ten, nine, eight—." The countdown began and Kol wrapped his arms around me, I smiled knowing this year was done but Kol and I were going to be together for a long time and this was the first of many events, and I couldn't be happier to have loved him, like the lover he needed.

And there goes Peyton's story, it was so fun, sad, and beautiful writing this story, I enjoyed every moment of it.

I was asked about what inspired me to write this story and my answer is: No one ever tells the story of the man who was supposedly the homewrecker, no one ever tells what he feels or how his life is like, and I wanted to show that in every aspect because we all deserve love even when a lot of people are against it, without even knowing why they are.
