Well here's the third chapter. Hope you guys enjoy it.
The Confession
Recap: Lucas kissed Brooke on the cheek and Lindsey over saw it and now Lucas has some explaining to do.
Lucas POV
I stood there motionless trying to think of any excuse to tell her as to why I had just kissed Brooke on the cheek but nothing, and I mean nothing, felt like the right thing to say. Should I tell her the truth? Make something up? I knew I needed to say something and say it fast before she started to question me and I couldn't come up with answers. So before I spoke I let out a hard sigh and looked up at her.
"Your probably wondering who that was," I told her as I walked in past her. I took a seat down on the bed before meeting her gaze again. She had her hands on her hips, and I could tell she was in no joking mood. Joking mood or not she didn't say anything; she just looked at me and waited for an explanation.
My mouth started moving and it took me a while to realize I was actually talking to her. "Well that's Brooke Davis, she was…well one of my high school exes. She's back in Tree Hill for a while, along with Peyton Sawyer…my other ex."
I told her the truth. The reason why, I don't know but as I stood there waiting for her to say something I couldn't help but wish I had lied.
"Brooke Davis is your ex? She's nothing more than your friend though…right?" She questioned me,
I sighed hearing her. I knew she would start to question me. It was as if she had already assumed I was cheating on her. I couldn't believe she was so quick to jump to conclusions.
"We're only friends Linds, believe me I bet she has a boyfriend, and if you haven't noticed…I'm engaged to you baby."
She gave me this look; I knew another question was on the tip of her tongue, and I groaned inwardly.
"You think she has a boyfriend?" she asked incredulously, "What if she doesn't Luke? Will things between us changes?" she continued, raising her eyebrows. I looked down and ran a hand threw my hair.
"Listen to me Lindsey, you're the girl I'm engaged to. You're the one I'm going to marry, not Brooke, not Peyton, you." I told her as I stood up and embraced her. She hesitated, a little unconvinced, but still let me envelope her with my arms. As I rested my head against hers, different thoughts flew through my mind. If only she knew that I was as unconvinced with my answer as she was.
After a moment of silence she finally lifted her head and looked at me. "Good. Because I couldn't imagine not having you in my life," she whispered, leaning her head back down.
I heard her and a smile came across my face, sure maybe what I had told her wasn't what I felt but maybe it could be. Maybe I could get myself or even Brooke and Peyton to not want me. Who knew if they even did anymore? I mean love triangles were so high school.
"I don't ever want to lose you," she continued running her hands up my back to rest around my neck. I looked down into her eyes and I could see how much she truly loved me. I was worried that now if she looked in my eyes she would see the confusion I had and the love I had, for maybe all three of them.
"I love you Lucas Scott," She told me and I smiled as I leaned in and kissed her on the lips softly. "I love you too Lindsey." I whispered lovingly, once the kiss had ended.
Brooke's POV
I saw Lucas's fiancée open the door as I was leaving, so without turning around I made my way down his stairs and didn't look back. He could explain to her who I was, because I sure wasn't going to. Instead I got in my car and pulled out into the street. At the next red light I pulled out my cell phone.
I had met a really great guy in New York a couple of months back, maybe I could call him and see if he's still there. He had told me he was coming to Tree Hill to make a movie.
So scrolling down to the J's I looked at Julian's name and hit the talk button. I hoped he would answer and if he didn't I would leave him a message, but when I heard a voice I smiled.
"Hello?" It sounded like he was questioning who it was, I sighed a little.
"Julian? It's me Brooke, Brooke Davis. We met a couple of months ago," I told him as I started to drive back to my place, maybe if it looked like I had a boyfriend or at least a guy friend in mind then Lucas would get jealous.
God I couldn't believe I was doing this. I don't even know when I started liking Luke again. I couldn't believe I was doing this to Peyton. She was taking the engagement news better than expected, but she still wasn't happy about it. I couldn't tell her that I wasn't either though. It would hurt her and I knew that, but every time I looked at Luke I couldn't help but want him.
I was so concentrated on my thoughts I barely heard him reply.
"Oh Brooke, how are you?" I smiled coming back to reality, when I heard him say my name and knew he remembered who I was. At least he doesn't forget people easily.
"I'm good; I'm back in Tree Hill. That's actually why I'm calling. I was wondering if you were in Tree Hill yet." I questioned as I kept my eyes on the road while talking. I was hoping he was in Tree Hill already so we could meet up.
"I will get in tonight. Do you want to meet up and hang out or something?" I heard his question and a smile tugged at my lips.
"Yeah, that'd be awesome. How about TRIC? It's the local club around here..." I asked him as I pulled into the driveway of the house Peyton and I had moved into the night before. My house wasn't really that far from Lucas now.
"That sounds good. How about 8 o'clock?" he asked and I nodded my head, knowing he couldn't see me but I didn't care.
"Sounds good I'll see you then. Have a safe flight." I told him before we both hung up the phone. Getting home I went inside, it was around 5 o'clock and Peyton was no where to be seen. I turned on our stereo and started to dance around as I made my way upstairs. I had three hours to get ready, and I was going to make sure they were a fun three hours.
Getting out of the shower, I dried off before walking over to my over filled suitcase. I threw my hair up in a pony tail before slipping into my jean skirt and black halter top that I had found, conveniently, at the top of my suitcase.
I applied my make up and took a look in the mirror giving my best B. Davis smile and a double over before looking at the clock 'This is it' I mumbled and grabbed my purse before heading down the stairs, I had almost ten minutes before I was supposed to meet him. So I headed out to TRIC, completely forgetting I was supposed to meet Lucas there.
I got to TRIC, going over to the bar and ordered a drink. I looked around and smiled when I saw Julian walk in, I went over and hugged him. Looking over his shoulder I saw Lucas across the room, and he had a look on his face that I had never seen before.
So how will Lucas react to Brooke having another guy now? Will he end up jealous?
Reviews would be awesome!!
