Lucas is a Jerk. Brooke is single and her best friend is Haley. Brooke DON'T know Peyton, but Haley does. Nathan will show his part in the story in this chapter.
1. A coffee fanatic drama Queen
Perfect, Brooke thought to herself as she walked down the aisle. She looked around the spectacular room again, she still couldn't believe that she had pulled this of, it was absolutely spectacular.
The ceiling was covered in off white fabrics. From it were hanging soft pink silk ribbons with large crystals bound in the ends.
In every corner stood an amazing ice sculpture, they were all formed as loving swans.
The flowers were arranged in different arrangements on golden pedestals; they were all kept in different shades of, off white, pink, and green.
She knew green?? But Nathan had insisted, she thought to herself, she couldn't help smiling at the thought of him. He was a catch, he defiantly was, one of the best new basketball players, and in the age of 24 he had just made the NBA, plus he was sweet, caring and loving.
She was now walking towards a big white stone staircase.
They had chosen a big mansion for the wedding location. As she walked out of two big old fashioned tree doors on top of a podium, where the staircase let, she could hear a big relieved sigh behind her.
"I thought I was going to trip..." she turned around to face her best friend,
She was stunning, wearing a simple off white Vera Wang dress. The top piece was covered in rhinestones and the bottom was forms as a long a-skirt. In front of her long see trough veil was placed an elegant tiara, which shone almost as much as Haleys face.
"That would have made some impression, a very unforgettable moment I would think so" Nathan said with a laugh "and by the way Brooke, that weeding ceremony was..."
"sooo amazing!!" Haley finished. "You did a perfect job, best friend, wedding planner and maid of honour"
Brooke smiled "just doing my job"
"Actually jobs" Haley corrected "You have been amazing". Brooke hugged Haley "there is nothing I'd rather do, tutor girl, or should I make that tutor wife now? By the way, you two are so married"
"That was kind of the point with the ceremony" Nathan replied as he put a hand around Haleys hips.
"I know..." Brooke said rolling her eyes
"I am a wedding planner, you know? this is what I do for a living, anyway not what I meant, finishing each other's sentences, God you would believe you two have been married in almost a decade. I bet..." she said with a sparkle in her eyes as she walked to towards Nathan pointing a finger at him "that you'll make her" moving her finger at a bemused Haley "pregnant, within the next week" she finished with a shrug.
Nathan raised his eyebrows, whereas bursting out in laughter.
"Brooke!!" Haley cried, "what?!! Just making a prediction" Brooke said a smile playing at her lips.
"Normally I'm not such a sucker for romance, but this bro, was class, absolutely amazing"
Nathan and Haley turned around "LUCAS!!" Haley cried.
Lucas smiled and pulled Haley in for a hug. He turned to Nathan "congratulations most be in order, bro..."
"You just have to meet my best friend, maid of honour and... Brooke? Are you alright?" she asked as she noticed the look upon Brookes face. She was paralyzed.
Lucas turned to face Hales best friend.
A small brunette caught his eye. She was beautiful, he could not help notice, but then he saw her face, No! He thought to himself, it couldn't be, No, he was just having such a pleasant time.
"Is this..." he trailed of
"Yes this is Brooke" Haley said looking confused from one to the other "do you know each other?"
Yes, Lucas thought...
or they had only met once, but that was one time to many Lucas reckoned.
When he caught Brookes eyes he was sure she was feeling the same hatred towards him as he was for her.
Brooke walked down the street.
She couldn't help notice a handsome blond haired man walking towards her. He was talking in a mobile phone while drinking coffee. He had a very athletic build body.
As he walked closer she could see that he was losing the grip of his coffee.
As he passed her it slipped and he spilled coffee all over her new brown marc Jacobs jacket. Shit, she thought. She was on her way to a meeting with Haley, Nathan and a caterer.
To her surprise the man just kept on walking...
"What a about a sorry" she called out.
Lucas turned "Thank you" he called back
"What?" Brooke asked "no, no, what about a sorry? my jacket?"
"ohh..." he said "yeah, that is kind of your own fault, so no, no sorry from me"
"My own fault?" Brooke cried,
He was defiantly labelled as a jerk she thought to herself.
"How can this" she gestured towards her coffee soaked jacket "ever be my fault?"
"I didn't choose that jacket for you" he said with a shrug,
He had come closer now, so they didn't have to shout to each other.
What?? Brooke thought, jacket my own fau... has got some nerve. Is he really standing there, saying this jacket don't suit me she thought in disbelief
"You!!" she shouted pointing at him "I didn't mean my jacket, but the cof..."
"Listen, I really haven't got time to do this" he said "so if you would please just shut up, I really don't care about you or your jacket, it's really not my problem"
"You're a jerk you know that? You spilled coffee all over me and you don't even turn around to say sorry. Who does that? Who the hell can be so self absorbed?"
"Apparently you, since you don't understand that you are wasting my time and I really don't have time for it"
"Jackass" she said as she turned to leave.
She couldn't believe it, not here, not now, not him. Keep calm she told herself. Handle this in a perfect Brooke way, but she couldn't, she just couldn't help herself.
"So Lucas, that's the name of such a self absorbed jackass" she said in her most pleasant voice.
"Brooke must stand for a coffee fanatic drama Queen".
Brooke was about to response when a voice interrupted.
"Haley!! Nathan!!" a voice called. A beautiful blond girl stepped inside the room. "Who is your wedding planner?"
Haley was in shock at Lucas and Brookes comments; she had been so sure they would hit it off. She gestured towards Brooke.
The girl stretched her hand and Brooke took it. "I'm Peyton" she said "and I would love you to be my wedding planner".
Brooke pulled herself together, this was great, a new potential client.
"When is the wedding?" she asked.
"Three months from now, June the 15th "
Brooke thought, she had a wedding more in this month, two in the next and three in July.
"I'm free" she said whit a smile.
"yes!!" Peyton cried "isn't that great honey" she turned her head around waiting for a reply.
Brooke looked in her direction, but nobody had entered the room since Peyton.
Then her eye fell upon...
No it couldn't be, she hadn't just agreed to... not that jerk.
She took a deep breath and asked in her most calm voice, even though it was more unsteady than usual,
"Who is the lucky man then?"
Peyton smiled "it's Lucas" she replied.
Brookes worst fear had just been made a reality.
