BEHIND THE GLITZ AND GLAMOUR

By Tom's Princess

A/n: Okay, I know and am aware that I left most of my readers hanging with my last chapter of Déjà vu. This idea came up, so I decided to create it and bring it to life. :D Oh, and some of you might get confused with how I wrote this because it's sort of like a narration with sprinkles of flashbacks. :D so, there's omniscient, first person and third person point of view.

Summary: Let's just say this is real life with BROOKE DAVIS and LUCAS SCOTT as the main characters.

Disclaimer:Need I do this again? Well, alrighty, for the prevention of law suits; I am declaring, promulgating and whatnot that this is all fiction even if it somewhat coincides with reality.

"PENGUIN"

I don't know what happened; it all just came to me in a breeze. Like it was a whirlwind that readily swooped me from the life I had. The life I had with her. It was short surely and fast most definitely, but I don't know, for me, every moment spent with her felt like a minute-century. A century filled with love and compassion. A century filled with her eyes, her crazily beautiful brownish-green eyes, staring at me as I loose myself entirely in her gaze.

There she is, a woman who loves me so much and for the record, barely of age, Kenzie Dalton, the beauty queen and here I am sitting on her couch wondering how this had all happened. Wondering how I happened to be with her when my mind still lingers on one single woman. The single woman, whom I love and married 6 months ago. The single woman who I ironically annulled and wounded emotionally despite my state of mind, body and heart. My state of self that regarded her as the light in every darkness, the ink in every pen, the perfect in every perfection and the woman of all women. My once, Sophia Bush-Murray. Once.

"What's on TV baby?" asked Kenzie

Silence, well except for the television, as if no one queried.

"What's on TV, baby?" she repeated

Still, silence.

"Chad!" she cried

"Huh, uh.. What?" his response showed how blatant he was oblivious to the world.

"What's next on HBO?" she asked for the third time, putting the pop corn down on the coffee table

"Err.."

"Baby, is everything alright?"

I used to call Sophia penguin, not baby, honey or babe, but now it's all different .

"Hey there penguin" I said, certain that Sophia will take it weirdly.

"Penguin?!" she asked, quite confused. It was expected, her reaction.

"Well, let's just say, you're my penguin from now on"

"Me? A penguin? Am I suppose to take that as a compliment?" she asked, kinking her eyebrow in same manner she does it well as Brooke Davis.

"Maybe, maybe not." I said in a playful way.

"You are so mean Chad!" she said, pushing me hard on my chest "If that's your way of indirectly telling me I've grown fatter and you're gonna use that on me forever, I'm gonna start calling you squidee then"

"Squidee?" I inevitably found myself snorting at this so-called squidee term.

"Yes, squid-ee" she assured with a big grin on her face.

"Squidee?" I asked, still dumbfounded-in a good way-with the squidee thing "Where the hell did you get that squidee thing anyway?" I continued

"I'll tell you if you tell me why you're suddenly calling me penguin" she was very good at this, turning tables around, especially when it came to secrets. Scratch that, it's supposed to be: she was very good at this, turning tables around, especially when it came to MY secrets. Well, probably because I tolerate her to do so.

"Oh, I give, up!" I said, gesturing I-give-up on my hands "This was suppose to be a secret, you know"

"I know" she said, playfully. How I wanted to kiss her at that very instant. She looked SO adorable.

"It's sappy, but, I just found out that when penguins find their mate, they stay with them forever" her playful eyes suddenly began to water.

"Chad! You are so sweet!" she said, placing her lips onto mine. "I love you" she murmured

"I love you more"

Then, she kissed me once again. And that kiss, with her lips mesmerizing mine, never failed to satisfy me.

I deepened the kiss by sliding my tongue in and the next thing I knew, I found myself lying next to her goddess figure in bed and we became one. "You're my penguin too, Chad," she whispered passionately as she lay gently on top of me.

I bet right now, Sophia is laughing at the thought of that. I bet she's laughing at the way I called her penguin. FOREVER? Right.

The movie they were watching was set in Paris, France so, Kenzie, who is an ultimate France freak decided to break the silence, "I'd really love to go to Paris with you, baby. It's so nice, look" Kenzie said, unintentionally interrupting his thoughts.

"What did you say?!" Chad suddenly rose, infuriated.

"Uh.. I said Paris. Paris, France" she froze, confused with Chad's reaction.

"Never utter that word again Kenzie. Never, please!" he was certainly fuming up

Paris Hilton was the very reason this whirlwind had all come to happen. It was her.
