A/N: So I decided to put this chapter up right now too. Its really short just like the first one but I PROMISE that the chapters following will be A LOT longer, it was just the matter of actually getting them to Vegas. Thanks for those of you who have reviewed the first chapter, it really means a lot to me. I hope that you enjoy this chapter and I did the L/G conversation justice. Please review and let me know how I'm doing!
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or anything regarding OTH.
Faith In Love
Don't let the dreams we didn't find
Make you feel like giving up
Keep holding on
And don't loose your faith in love
Lucas sits at the airport waiting for Brooke, he is anxious and excited about the venture to come, and is relieved that Brooke has agreed to come. He is lost in his own thoughts until a voice of a stranger breaks him out of them. The older man, Gus, sitting across from him begins to speak, "You know son, you should not mess with a lady's heart like that." Lucas is completely baffled as to what the man is talking about, "Excuse me?"
"You don't ask a girl to marry you and than take it back, it's just not nice."
Lucas chuckles at the realization of what the man was talking about, "Oh that. You don't understand, Brooke and I are really good friends and it was just a joke with a really long story behind it."
Gus responds seriously, "Love is no joking matter. Love is the most important aspect of life and marriage is one of the biggest parts of love."
Lucas feels a little guilty, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you or anything. It's just that we've both been in somewhat of a rut lately and I guess I wanted us to both laugh for once."
The strange man chuckles at this, "Now that's very important, finding someone that can make you laugh. But it is also important to find someone who will cry with you too. To have someone who won't only stand next to you when your dreams come true, but who will also catch you when they don't or when your world comes crumbling down around you. Unconditional love, finding that person that will love you no matter what; and let me tell you if you are lucky enough to find it, hold on to it and never let it go."
Lucas sits there as he takes in everything the older man has just told him, and whispers to himself, but loud enough for the older man to hear, "But what if I already let it go and it's too late?"
Gus, responds, "It's never too late son." He then looks up and stares behind Lucas, "And by the look in her eyes, I say it's definitely not too late. That's what I call love."
Lucas looks up at Gus confused and then turns to follow Gus' gaze and his eyes land on Brooke walking in the distance. Lucas smiles, probably the biggest one he has since his and Lindsey's non-wedding day. Lucas gets up and walks towards Brooke, forgetting about the man he was just talking to and everything Gus had just said to him. Lucas and Brooke meet up in the middle of the crowded airport. "I was getting nervous; I thought you might not show."
Brooke shrugs, "Well I guess you're lucky I'm lonely and I'm a sucker for a certain blond hair and blue eyed boy."
Lucas smirks, "Well he must be one lucky boy." He reaches out to take Brooke's bags from her so they could head to the terminal, but Brooke pulls away and Lucas eyes her curiously. "Luke, before we go you need to promise me you aren't running away, because if you are, your problems will just be waiting for you as soon as you get back."
Lucas smiles at her, and is comforted by the fact that she cares for him this much, "I promise. Like I said on the phone, I just need a break. But thanks for looking out for me." They smile at each other and gaze into each other's eyes, after a beat Lucas breaks their gaze, "So come on. Let's see how much trouble we can get into in Sin City, Miss Davis."
Brooke smiles and kinks her eyebrow, "Oh you have no idea Mr. Scott." Lucas grabs Brooke's bags and they head off to board the plane, neither knowing exactly how much trouble Las Vegas did in deed have in store for them…
