What I Wanted
Chapter 3
I still love you darling
With every inch of my heart
Even when I don't want
I still love you.
"This night took an incredibly eventful turn. Would you want to still have some cookies and hang out.?" Brooke asked. Turning to Lucas.
"Sure, I like spending time with you doing anything." Lucas said. Walking over to the counter getting out a large plate putting the cookies on it. Then brought it over and placed it on the middle cushion separating them. Going back for the glasses of milk putting them in front of them on the coffee table.
"Netflix is full of endless entertainment that we could get into." "Movie or documentary.?" Brooke asked. Looking over at Lucas.
"Documentary of course. Educational and the drama of it being a real-life story." Lucas said.
Brooke shook her head smiling as looked to him. "I'm not surprised at all that you choose that. And we will definitely watch one after we watch one of my favorite movies in the world." Brooke said. Clicking on it then turning up the volume.
While Lucas turned down the lights. And sat back next to her.
A smile coming across his face as heard her recite lines that she knew by heart. And just like that they were immersed in a world of their own.
Brooke's movie lasting a few hours. Then they started to watch a documentary chosen by Lucas. Time just seeming to fly by.
Until the credits rolled and the cookies were halfway gone. The darkness of night filled the room. Lucas turned back on the lights.
"Tonight has turned out to be so much more than I thought it would." Brooke said. Looking to Lucas.
"I'm glad our night together shouldn't have been spoiled." "Everything I said tonight I meant I love you and I know that we bonded and got closer when Angie was there and then we were in a weird place once Lindsay was around. But none of that is a factor anymore. You fought for me when I gave you every reason not to." "Now I'm fighting for you because you deserve that to know that there is no one else and it's either you or a life without love all together." "You're the one for me Brooke." Lucas said. looking into her eyes.
"I don't know what to say. This is a lot for me to take in and process given everything else that has happened. You're so important to me." Brooke said. Looking back at him.
"It's okay I didn't expect you to say it back. Whenever you're ready to open your heart to me again. I'll be there." Lucas said.
"It's late I should go. Thanks for keeping me company." Lucas said. Looking up at her.
Brooke smiled up at him. "You're welcome. And we will be seeing each other very soon. Maybe. Goodnight Luke." Brooke said. Looking back at him.
Watching while he walked out her door. Going down the stairs and into his car. Getting onto the road on the way to his house.
Closing the door to her home. Turning off the lights. While she went to her bedroom and changed into her pajamas. Getting into bed and closing her eyes. Falling asleep soon after.
In the morning
Brooke wakes up to a face she knew and loved.
"Good morning aunt Brooke." Jamie said. Smiling up at her.
"Morning little man." Brooke said. Getting up and out of bed.
"Momma's making waffles." Jamie said. Taking ahold of his aunt Brooke's hand. While they walked down the stairs together.
Once they reached the downstairs. Brooke was greeted by Nathan and Haley. Then Jamie said his goodbyes along with Nathan. Because Jamie had school to start and couldn't stay.
After they left. Haley turned to Brooke and started to speak.
"Sorry for the unplanned visit. I used my emergency key and rushed over here as soon as I heard. And knew I had to tell you. Peyton is gone. She left Tree Hill. Isn't coming back and is selling Red Bed Records and her house."
Haley said. Looking up at Brooke.
"Wow where did she go.?" Brooke asked.
"No one knows. Now that we have this news out of the way." "What's going on between you and Lucas.?" Haley asked. With a smile.
"Nothing is up with Lucas and I we just hung out and spent some time together it was nice. We really enjoyed each other's company." "We're friends it's that simple Hales." Brooke said. Looking back at her.
"Alright if that's the case then why haven't you stopped smiling since I mentioned his name. And you're blushing." Haley said.
