A/N: Thanks to everyone who has been reading and reviewing my Brathan fic, but here is a little something for my favorite couple ever, Brucas :) This is just an Introduction really, but if anybody likes it or wants me to continue I will. So really it's up to you, tell me what you think. All suggestions or comments are welcomed.
I do not own one tree hill or any of the characters in this story, other than Liz, but who knows maybe one day ;)
Brooke Davis couldn't believe her life. She was twenty-two years old and has graduated from college with her degree in fashion. Brooke thought of all the places in the world that she could make it in fashion, New York would be it, boy was she wrong. It had been three months since she graduated and no one would even give her the time of day.
She couldn't figure out why, her designs were nothing short of amazing, but being so young nobody took her seriously. Now Brooke was in desperate need of need of money, and a place to stay since she had just got evicted.
Not knowing what to do with her life, Brooke was just sitting on a bench in central park.
"I can't believe I let my life get this way" she said to herself
"Get what way", said a voice. Brooke almost jumped out of her skin but calmed down once she saw the owner of the voice.
Before her stood a little girl who couldn't have been more than five years old. She had sandy blonde hair that was braided in pigtails and was wearing the cutest little overalls.
" Oh just not the way I planned, I guess", Brooke replied. "My daddy says that just because something doesn't go as plan, doesn't mean it isn't great", the girl replied.
"Well this isn't really one of those times where the alternative is great", Brooke replied a little bitter not really taking into count she is having a conversation with a five year old.
"Well I'm sorry to hear that, my life isn't so great either", said the girl trying to be understanding "How come", question Brooke "Well just yesterday my fourth nanny this year quit, I guess I'm just not important enough for them to stick around", said the girl sadly
Brooke finally realizing she is talking to a little kid, her maternal instincts kick in.
"I'm so sorry, but it's their loss anyway right", Brooke said trying to cheer the girl up.
"Wow silly me, here we are sharing our problems with each other, and we didn't even exchange names", Said Brooke "Brooke Davis at your service" she said putting her hand out to shake the little girls.
"Elizabeth Scott, but everyone just calls me Liz", the girl explained also putting her hand out.
"Well it's very nice to meet you, Liz"
"What do you think your doing!" came yet another voice
Brooke turned around to come face to face with the most handsome man she had ever seen. He had the most amazing pair of blue eyes, the same sandy blond hair as Liz, and even though he was in a suit, you could tell he had an athletic body.
"Do you care to explain why you are talking to my little girl" the man said in an angry tone which quickly shook her out of her little day dream.
Brooke was furious, she wasn't doing anything wrong but talking to the little girl, who approached her by the way, who did this guy think he was.
" With all do respect, I really don't appreciate the tone you are taking with me, and I was only talking to Liz here because she approached me", Brooke replied hatefully also sending the man a glare.
Liz just stood by trying to stay out of the two adults staring match
"Well I don't care who approached who first, it isn't right for you to be talking to other people kids without the parents consent", the man spat out.
"Well maybe you should have been watching your child better Mr. Scott, because last I check it's the parents responsibility to keep an eye on their child", Brooke spat back.
She didn't know what had came over her, she had never talked to a person like that before, let alone a complete stranger.
"Well it still doesn't give you any right to be talking to her", he stated.
"You know you are right, and I was just leaving anyway...you know I didn't think my day could get any worse, but then you showed up, figures", Brooke said getting up to leave.
"Please don't go Brooke", said Liz who almost had tears in her eyes.
Brooke could tell the girl was having abandonment issues, Brooke went through the same thing when she was younger.
"I'm sorry Liz, but I really need to go and find a job, it was really nice to meet you though", Brooke said before giving the little girl a hug goodbye.
Lucas was still upset with this stranger talking to his little girl but he couldn't stop staring at her, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She had gorgeous chocolate locks that went down just past her shoulders, and two hazel eyes that just drew you in.
"Wait I have a perfect idea", Liz practically screamed.
Liz noticed the confused look on both the adults faces and continued.
"You need a job, and I need a new nanny, you would be perfect for the job!", Liz said excited.
"Really as fun as that sounds, I work in fashion not child care, and I am pretty positive your father would not hire me", Brooke said.
Liz face quickly turned to a frown and instantly went to her fathers knees screaming "PLEASE DADDY, PLEASE GET HER TO BE MY NEW NANNY!"
"Honey I'm sorry but you heard what she said, she isn't qualified to do the job", Lucas said
"Excuse me again Mr. Scott but I never said I wasn't qualified, I just said it wasn't my field of work." Brooke said trying to defend herself.
"Well either way you aren't right for the job", he added
"DADDY!!", with that last statement Liz was already on the floor throwing a tantrum. Brooke couldn't believe the little girl, if she would have done something like that when she was little she would have been shipped off to boarding school.
"Liz please calm down, you know we are hiring the nanny tomorrow, thats the plan", Lucas said trying to get Liz to stop screaming.
"But daddy just because something doesn't go as plan doesn't mean it isn't great", the little girl said quoting her fathers words.
Lucas didn't know what to do, Liz really liked this woman and wouldn't be happy if he didn't hire her, but on the other hand he hated this woman and she didn't care for him much either.
"I guess I did tell you you could pick out your next nanny, but really I don't think...", Lucas said not knowing Brooke's Name "Brooke", Liz said excited
"Yes, I don't think Brooke here even wants the job, so...", Lucas said but was cut off by Brooke
"Actually I might be interested, depending on pay and beneifits of course", Brooke said She knew she really needed something, and it could just be a part time thing until someone noticed her designs.
Lucas was completely shocked, he really thought that she was going to say no, he really didn't want her in his house, not only did he pretty much despise her, but she was very good looking...it could be distracting to say the least.
"Well I still think I should go through with the interviews just in case, but why don't you stop by tomorrow, here's my card", Lucas said handing the brunette the card.
"Thanks", Brooke said trying to be more polite then earlier, knowing that if she was going to get this job she was going to suck it up, no matter how much the sandy blonde made her angry.
"I'm really sorry for earlier, I was just scared about my little girls safety," Lucas added knowing that they would have to be civilized.
"Me too" "We never properly introduced, so I'm Brooke Davis", Said Brooke giving Lucas a dimple smile and sticking out her Hand.
"Lucas Scott", he said going to shake her hand.
There it was, the instant shock of feeling in just the one touch of the hands, both adults stood quiet and a little confused about what just happened, until Liz broke them out of there thoughts.
"Ok daddy can we please go now, I'm really tired", the little girl said ushering a yawn.
"Well we better get going then, I guess we will see you tomorrow Brooke Davis", Lucas said before giving her a toothy smile
"Can't wait", replied Brooke
Brooke was silently cursing herself, was she really going from hating this man to wanting to kiss him in just the ten minutes they had known each other. Boy if she got this job, it was going to be harder then just watching a kid, that's for sure.
A/N: So there it is, tell me what you think. If you like it and want me to continue then I will :)
