On Your Side
Chapter 2
Laugh at the night, at the day, at the moon, laugh at the twisted streets of the island, laugh at this clumsy boy who loves you, but when I open my eyes and close them, when my steps go, when my steps return, deny me bread, air, light, spring, but never your laughter for I would die
"Baby, you should get someone to cover your shift more often." Brooke she whispered and placed a soft kiss on his shoulder.
He looked over at her and grinned and placed a kiss on her forehead. "And maybe you should be here more often. You seem to be going to New York more often now. Business really that busy?" He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer.
"Owen, you know I would love to be home more but the company is in New York. It's where it all got started. Tree Hill is too small to run something that big." she sighed. "I'm sorry"
"Hey, hey baby doll don't be sorry. I know that it's your company. You created it." he told her in a tone that he was proud of her. "And I don't want you to be sorry for accomplishing something so amazing."
"I do wish I was here more though, but it has been so hectic lately..." she said running a hand through her hair.
"Babe, it's okay." he looked at her but she didn't make eye contact. He placed his index under her chin and made her look up at him. "It sucks that you always have to be going to New York but it makes you happy and so I'm happy for you. I'm always going to support you in anything you do. You're my girl okay no matter what."
Brooke smiled. "Thank you"
"Brooke, baby, you don't need to thank me. Be who you are, do what you love, be happy," he told her and smiled "and" he kissed her lips "kiss" he kissed her again "me" and another kiss "a lot" and one last long kiss. Brooke laughed.
She grabbed one of the bed sheets and wrapped it around her body as she started making her way to the bath room. "I'm going to take a quick shower" she told him.
"Want me to join you, Miss Davis?" he asked with a smirk.
She kinked her eyebrow "What do you think?" she said turning around walking into the bath room letting the sheet fall off her soft and delicate body. Owen took that as his cue to follow her.
After taking a hot and steamy shower together Owen got ready for bed quicker than Brooke. She stayed in the bathroom still doing last minute things. She wore an old T-Shirt of Owens and her boy shorts that she bought from Victoria Secret. She walked out of the bathroom and closed the door behind her and saw Owen laying in bed waiting for her. She smiled at him and he returned one.
"You know your looking pretty damn sexy in my T-shirt" he said to her.
"Is that so?" she kinked her eye brow and smirked. "You don't look so bad yourself without it" She started walking towards the bed.
"C'mere babe"
She reached the edge of the bed where Owen is and he grabbed her and pulled her into bed.
"Owen!" she yelled laughing. He started tickling her and she was trying to get out of his grip. "Owen! Stop it!" she couldn't contain her laughter. Owen finally stopped tickling and he couldn't help but smile at how she was panting from all the laughing. "You know how ticklish I am hun!" she exclaimed and hit him playfully.
"But you look so cute trying to break away from my grip and I love your laugh"
"Yeah well..." she glared at him jokingly "You're lucky I love you." and she kissed him. She turned off her night lamp and then cuddled next to Owen.
"Night Babydoll"
"Night Handsome"
The following day Brooke had made Owen him breakfast before he had to leave to Tric where he had some stuff to take care of. After getting dressed and putting on her make up she headed over to Peyton and Lucas' before going to her boutique. Just as she was going to ring the doorbell to their house Lucas opened the door.
"Hey Brooke," he greeted her with a hug.
"Lucas, Hi." she told him. "Peyton here?" she asked him.
He nodded "In the living room." he walked out the door passing her "Sorry I'm late for morning practice with the team. Good to see you"
"You too." she told him and entered their home and closed the door behind her. She walked into the living room and saw Peyton who sitting not facing Brooke and was very focused on her Ipod.
"P.Sawyer" Brooke called out but Peyton did not respond. "P. Sawyerrr" she said again. Brooke smiled. She crept over to Peyton and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Peyton!"
Peyton immediately jumped up from her seat shouting "Shit!" as she turned around and saw the brunette laughing in front of her. She pulled out her headphones. "Jesus Brooke."
"Well I called your name out and you didn't answer what do you expect me to do"
"Good point."
"That's right." Brooke grinned.
"What brings you around here? Thought you forgot about your best friend you're always working when your here or up in New York."
"Sucks with out me huh" Brooke said as she sat down on the couch and Peyton sat next to her.
"You know it does B.Davis" she said and then wrapped her arms around Brooke.
Brooke and Peyton rarely saw each other. Like Peyton had said she was always working. She was usually at her store at 10 in the morning and closed up at 8 at night and from there she was too exhausted to do anything else and would head straight home. They would sometimes go to Tric though for a couple drinks and so Brooke could see Owen. But if Brooke wasn't in Tree Hill she would be up in New York where the main office was. And she always made sure she saw Rachel. She would never go to New York with out seeing her.
"So how are you and Lucas doing? Everything is good I hope." Brooke asked.
Peyton's smile grew. "We are doing great, Brooke. We really are."
"I'm happy for you. Still hasn't proposed again?" She asked.
"You know he hasn't. You're the first person I'd call if he did"
"That's sweet. I wonder why he hasn't though. You two are finally together and it's been so long and you're so in love. What the fuck is taking him so long?! I'm so ready to start designing your dress." She smiled.
Peyton shrugged "I don't know." and then she rose an eyebrow "You just want an excuse to design another dress don't you" Peyton questioned her.
"So not true Sawyer!"
"The boy is so in love you Peyton. You tell me everything is great between you two. I just don't see what's taking him so long. I would've thought he would've proposed to you as soon as you two got back together after his break up with Lindsey." Brooke said and Peyton shrugged her shoulders. "Don't you ever think about it? You've got to right. You're finally together, you're living together, you're in love. It's perfect timing. Don't you ever just wonder when he'll do it?"
"Of course I do, Brooke, but I'm still fine that he hasn't done it. He'll do it when he's ready. Now enough about my relationship with Lucas. How are you and Owen doing?" she said as she placed a hand on Brooke's knee for a few moments.
Now it was Brooke's turn to smile.
"I take it it's going well."
"And you are right. He's amazing Peyton. Yesterday we had such a great night. He surprised me at the store saying he got someone to cover his shift so he could spend time with me." Brooke explained to her and Peyton smiled knowing Brooke was happy. She could tell it in the way she talked about him. This was the guy for her. "And then we got home and we had such hot sex! And then we took a shower and had some more sex and it was oh so good."
"Too much information!" Peyton exclaimed laughing."
"Sorry, sorry. Got a little excited there." Brooke grinned. "2 weeks with out my P.Sawyer is way too long. I miss hanging out with you but I should really get to the store now."
"Yeah, I understand. I need to go soon anyway. Have bands to sign" Peyton smiled and got up off the couch as did Brooke. "You need to come around here more, okay. I miss my B.Davis" Brooke pulled her in for a hug.
"I"ll try. I promise."
"Can you do anything with out me there?" Brooke yelled into her phone as she paced the floor in the back of Clothes over Bros. "The order was suppose to go to Los Angeles not Houston. I told you over and over now everything is a mess. I'm catching a flight to New York tomorrow and some changes will be made understood." she waited for her employee from New York answer and she continued. "Everything better be well organized at the office so as soon as we get off the phone run off and tell everyone that they better not screw anything up." She said and hung up. She rubbed her temples with her index and middle finger in a small circular motion.
"Everything okay, Brooke?" Millicent asked her and Brooke turned to face her.
"I'm headed to New York tomorrow instead of next week so please reschedule my flight." Brooke told her and Millicent nodded. "Thank you, Milly. I need some fresh air. I'll be right back." Brooke walked out of the store and made her way to the river walk and stared out at the river.
Brooke hated that she was going to leave earlier than expected and she knew Owen wouldn't be happy either. She had just came back from New York 4 days ago and now she leaving again. With out her though it was all such a mess up at her office in New York. She didn't have a choice. She needed to be there if things were going to be done right.
"Brooke!" she heard her name causing her to turn around to see a young blonde boy and his father walking towards her.
Brooke's face lit up when she saw him. "Jaime, wow I have not seen you in a few months now" she told him embracing him in a hug. "Nathan, hi" she smiled and gave him a hug as well. She looked down at Jaime who was now 8. "You are growing up so fast." she said to him and he nodded quickly a few times causing Brooke to chuckle. "How have you been, Nate? How's Haley?"
"I'm good and so is Haley. We're finally at a place where we're all finally happy."
"That's great Nathan. I'm so glad to hear that. I always knew you would work things out."
Nathan smiled. "What about you? We never see you around here that much anymore."
"So I've been told" she said looking away for a moment and then looked back at him. "Work is just really taking up a lot of my time. I actually have to go back to New York tomorrow. They can't ever do anything right while I'm not there."
"So, fire them and get new people to work for you" he grinned.
She smiled. "Yeah, it's not that easy, Nate."
"Well, you're Brooke Davis" Nathan was cut off
"Brooke Penelope Davis" Jaime cut in and both Nathan and Brooke laughed.
"Yes son, Brooke Penelope Davis and I know there is nothing that you couldn't do. Everything is going to turn out perfectly fine. I know it will."
"Thank you, Nate." she said and then placed her hand on Jaime's head and looked at him "You be good okay."
"Always" Jaime responded.
Brooke looked at Nathan "I should get back to the store. I'll see you around okay"
"Don't be a stranger okay. We want to see more of you." Nathan told her.
Brooke smiled slightly and nodded before walking back to Clothes over Bros. She couldn't wish for anything more but to stay in Tree Hill and travel less to New York but it was her company and she had to take care of it and run it like it was suppose to be run. She was the boss and had to be involved. It wasn't going to run itself. Plus she loved doing what she did. It was her passion.
Upon entering the store Milly spoke. "You're booked for a flight at 10am tomorrow, Brooke"
"Thank you, Milly." she said as Millicent handed her the printed confirmation. Brooke glanced at it. "All looks good. I'll be in the back."
Brooke sat down on the couch that was in the back of the store and dialed Owen's cell phone. It rang and she waited for him to pick up.
"Hey gorgeous." she heard him say happily.
"Owen, hi." she said in a soft tone.
Owen could hear it in her voice something was up. "Brooke is everything okay?" he asked
"I know I just got back to Tree Hill not too many days ago but-"
"Oh come on Brooke. You have to go back to New York? Why?"
"Owen I'm sorry. Some changes need to be made okay. I leave tomorrow morning at 10."
"Brooke..."
"Owen, hun, you said you support me in anything I do. Please just understand okay. I need to make some changes up there. I do not like how they are running it at all. It's such a disaster." she told him but the other line was silent. "I love you, Owen." she told him.
"I love you too, Brooke" and he hung up. Brooke sighed and put her phone away.
After closing up that night Brooke went straight home to pack her things. After getting ready for bed it was nearly midnight and climbed under the covers. She wanted to stay up until Owen got home but she couldn't. She had such a long day and just couldn't keep her eyes open any longer.
It was nearly 4 in the morning when Owen got home and saw how serene she looked sleeping. She looked perfect as her breathe in and out. He took off his jeans and took off his shirt and climbed into bed. He placed a kiss on her forehead. "Night babydoll" He whispered and then drifted off to sleep.
Brooke awoke at seven and looked over to see a sleeping Owen and felt a little disappointed she didn't get a chance to see him last night. She got ready and before leaving to the airport she left him a note.
I really am sorry Owen. I'll call you
when I land. And I'll see you soon.
I love you.
xoxo Brooke
And good, this danger is danger of love,
of complete love for all life,
for all lives
