We study the contribution of the strong interactions between the two pions in S and P waves to the weak B{yields}{pi}{pi}K decay amplitudes. The interference between these two waves is analyzed in the {pi}{pi} effective-mass range of the {rho}(770){sup 0} and f{sub 0}(980) resonances. We use a unitary {pi}{pi} and KK coupled-channel model to describe the S-wave interactions and a Breit-Wigner function for the P-wave amplitude. The weak B-decay amplitudes, obtained from QCD factorization, are supplemented with charming penguin contributions in both waves. The four complex parameters of these long-distance terms are determined by fitting the model to the BABAR and Belle data on B{sup {+-}}{sup ,0}{yields}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}K{sup {+-}}{sup ,0} branching fractions, CP asymmetries, {pi}{pi} effective-mass and helicity-angle distributions. This set of data, and, in particular, the large direct CP asymmetry for B{sup {+-}}{yields}{rho}(770){sup 0}K{sup {+-}} decays, is well reproduced. The interplay of charming penguin amplitudes and the interference of S and P waves describes rather successfully the experimental S and A values of the CP-violating asymmetry for both B{sup 0}{yields}f{sub 0}(980)K{sub S}{sup 0} and B{sup 0}{yields}{rho}(770){sup 0}K{sub S}{sup 0} decays.
