Chapter 4- All the pieces are falling into it's place
It's March 15, and Darcy's school prom is about to come up, shes really wants to go but shes only a sophomore and you have to at lease be a Junior to go. Darcy sat next to Manny. "Hey Manny how's it going." "Nothing much just making a list of what guys i would take to prom." Darcy started to laugh,"You cant go to prom Manny." "Why not," Manny said with a smirk look. "Because were sophomores and prom is only for juniors and seniors."
"So whats stopping me." Darcy just laughed while putting her head down. She looked up and spotted her crush Lucas Scott playing basketball with his friends. Her eyes squinting from the sun. Manny looked at Darcy starying down Lucas.
"Well well well Darcy Elizabeth Davis is looking Lucas Scott up and down nice." Manny said while hitting Darcys leg. Darcy started to laugh, "Stop it Manny." "What i know how much you like him, and the plus side is his cute, adorable and his a Junior." "Stop it Manny a guy like Lucas will never go for me." Darcy said with a tired voice. Darcy has liked Lucas since freshman year,
but never told him how she felt. The girls watched the boys play ball. Manny had her eyes on one of his friends Skills. After awhile they boy decided to take a break, and sat on a bench by the court. All a sudden Lucas looked over to Manny and Darcy with his broody smile. Darcy put her head down, and started to scratch her head. "Thats it," Manny yelled. "What are you doing, Darcy yelled as she pulled manny towards her. "Im going to talk to them." 'Why would you do that." "Because im tired of these games," Manny said as she pulled Darcy hand of her shirt. Manny started to walk towards them and Darcy followed.
"Hey guys how you all doing today." "Were all good hot stuff," Skills said as he got up and wrapped his arms around Manny.
"Skills come on they just wanted to say hi, get off the poor girl," Lucas said as he got up and pulled Skills off of Manny.
"So how you girls doing." "Were ok, i was just wondering if you guys were thinking about going to prom." "were planing on it,
but we dont have dates yet, you girls know any," Lucas said as he looked at Darcy hiding behind Manny. "Well there's my friend Darcy," Manny pulled Darcy in front of her. "Hi, im Darcy." Lucas started to laugh, "Its nice to meet you Darcy, im Lucas."
"I know." Darcy said as she pulled her hand out to Lucas. He grabbed her hand, she was all awed about this. "Wait arnt you in my topics class," Lucas said with a questioned face. "Yeah i am, im pretty good at math if you ever need help." "Good,
because im horrible at math." Darcy just shock her head up and down. "So how about you go to prom with my best-est friend here," Manny asked of Lucas. "Sure, but under one condition." Manny looked at Darcy then at Lucas,"What would that be." Lucas looked into Darcy's light brown eyes,"We go on a date before prom deal." "That sound good Darc." "Yeah sure sounds good to me." "Ok then hows about tonight ." "Yeah that sounds great," Darcy said with a huge smile on her face." "Ok sounds like a date ill pick you up 8 ok." "Thats prefect, see you tonight." Lucas walked away with his group of friends and waved bye to us. "Manny Santos i owe you my life." "Yes you do bb." They hugged and jumped around. Then Skills came up to Manny. "So your name is Manny right." "Yes it is." "Well maybe we should go out sometime." "Sounds great to me." "Cool," he ran off and yelled, "See Luke your not the only one who can get a date." Manny and Darcy started to laugh, and walked off.
At Brooke's work, everything was clam and collect, it was a pretty nice decent day. It was a Thursday, so business wasn't to big, but thats the way Brooke likes it, so she can focus on her new designs. "Ring, Ring." Brooke looked at her cell and saw it was Darcy. " Hey honey, whats going on." "Guess who has her first date tonight?" Brooke got up from her sit,
"Darcy im so happy for you, whos the boy, please tell its a boy," Brooke joked. "Very funny Brooke, but his name is Lucas Scott." "That boy you've been crushing on since last year. "Yep thats him, he wants to go out first, then maybe go to prom with him." "Woo this boy must really like you Darc." Darcy started to giggle. "Well if you do go to prom with him, i can make you a dress." "You would Brooke thats so sweet of you." "Of course i will your family." "Thanks Brooke, ok i got to get ready his picking me up at 8, ill talk to you later." "Ok ill see you when you get home, no later then midnight ok." "Ok you got it Brooke,
I love you." "I love you too, bye," Brooke sat her phone down on the table. She sat down at her work station and went to work. On a deign she was making. "Brooke," yelled a worker. Brooke put down her pencil and looked up."What is it Jennifer." "I was wondering if you needed me to do anything else before i leave." Brooke looked around,"Not that i can think of, you can leave early if you want."
"Really thanks Brooke your the best boss." "No problem," Brooke smiled. Jennifer gave Brooke a hug and went to get her things.
Jennifer was a young girl, shes only 19 years old. Since she was young and was into fashion Brooke gave her a job as a helper.
Like clean up after customers, clean the floors ect. "Honk, Honk." It was Jennifer's boyfriend Jay Hogart,his 23,they been dating for about three years now,and are madly in love with each other, "Bye Brooke." yelled Jennifer as she ran out the door. "See you tomorrow Jenn."
Awhile after Jennifer left Brooke looked at the time, it was 9 o'clock. "Were did all the time go," Brooke said as she picked up her sketches and put them in a drawer. It was pouring rain out side. "I hope Darcy is ok." Brooke took out her phone and called her niece up. "Hello." Darcy answered. "Just wanted to see if your ok, because of the rain." "Yeah were fine, by the way the date is going great." "Thats so good Darc." "Yeah but i got to go ok." "Ok talk to you when you get home." "Ok, bye." Darcy hung up, and Brooke dropped her hand that was holding the phone. Brooke leaned over her desk and picked up a picture of her and her brother, then put it down. "Brooke Davis your successful, beautiful, an amazing aunt to Darcy, why have you not found the guy for you yet".She got up and walked forward of the store,"I guess he doesn't excite". Brook's back was facing the door, the the door slung open. Brooke turned around,"Im sorry were closed." "Oh sorry, I was just seeing if i could brow your phone, because mine is dead," the man said as he pulled his phone up.
"Yeah, its over," Brooke said as she lead him to the phone. "Thank you very much," the man said. Brooke just smiled at him and walked away. Once he was done he walked up to Brooke. "So are you from here," Brooke asked. "Im from here but my car broke down i actually live 3 miles from here," the guy laughed. Brooke joined in,"So you all good now, got everything settled." The man laughed,
"Yes, im waiting for my buddy Jake to pick me up, if that's ok with you." "Yeah, not like i have any plans tonight," Brooke laughed. The guy joined in, his smile was breath taking. He put out his hand, "Im sorry i never told you my name, its Jim." Brooke grabbed hos soft textured hand. "Nice to meet you Jim, im Brooke i own this place." Jim looked around the place,"Wow this is all yours, thats amazing." "Thank you very much." He just just smiled at her again. Another guy came into the door, it was Jim's friend Jake. "You ready man." At first he couldn't get his eyes off of Brooke. "Hey dude." Jim looked at him "You ready Jim." "yeah I am lets got." "Ok cool ill met you in the car." "Ok, see you in a minute." Jake headed to the car. "Thanks again Brooke for letting me use your phone." "No problem its my pleasure," Brooke said with a smile. "Maybe will meet again,"Jim said. "Maybe we will." "Can we give each others number." "You sure your phone wont die again," Brooke laughed. "Im sure of that." They gave each other their numbers, and Jim headed out the door. "Thanks again Brooke." Brooke shook her head. Jim finally left and Brooke locked up the place and went straight she got home she landed on the couch with a smile on her face.
Meanwhile on Darcys lovely date, things were going great. Lucas was a kind man,walking her to the car pulling out her chair when they sat down. "So Darcy, what time does your aunt want you home," Lucas said as he leaned towards Darcy."Midnight." "Well is it ok if i take you home earlier like 11." "Yeah thats fine, that will just make Brooke like you more," Darcy laughed. They both started to laugh. After dinner Lucas took Darcy to the park and they walked around. They found a bench and sat down on it.
"Can i tell you something Darcy," Lucas said with a broody smile. "Sure." "I've always wanted to get to know you." "Brooke put her head down with a smile. "Like you been through a lot, and you and your aunt are yet still really strong." "Thanks Lucas," Darcy said with a smile. They looked at each other in their eyes. "Lucas." "Yeah Darcy." "I think your a great guy and such." "Oh, because im mister hot stuff and star basketball player." "Haha no, that's just that." "Then what than," he laughed. "I like you, a lot." Lucas looked Darcy right in her eyes, and leaned in to kiss her, Darcy didnt back away and went for it. The kiss was prefect, it was soft and gentle. Lucas pulled away,"Its almost 11 lets get you home." He got up and handed his hand to Darcy she grabbed it and the walked to his car. The car ride home was prefect Lucas kept glaceing at Darcy and she couldnt get her eyes off of him. They finally got to her house and Lucas walked her to the door. "So im guessing were going to prom with each other." Lucas nodded his head yes, and kissed Darcy again. "Ill see you later Lucas." "You too, have a great night." As Lucas started to walk off Darcy yelled,"So one last thing are we together now." Lucas screamed back,"You betcha." Darcy smiled as she walked into the door. "So how did your date go Darc."

"Your kidding me that's amazing Darc," Brooke said as she hugged Darcy. "So how was your night meet any new guys." "Yeah, but it was nothing." "If you say so," Darcy said as Brooke pushed her head then pulled her into her. "Anyways Darc this is about me its about you, so congrats." "Thanks Brookey, im going to go to bed ok." "Ok good night honey," Darcy gave Brooke a kiss on the head and went off to sleep. Brooke stayed down stares. She pulled out Jim's number from her work folder and looked at it for awhile then put it back in and headed off to bed.
