…
"Oh no, no no we're not-" Brooke tried explaining using her hands motioning between her and Lucas. He couldn't help but chuckle.
Steve obviously didn't hear a word she said as he cut her off. "Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Scott," he says as he pauses. "Tree Hill?" he questioned out loud in his head, still looking at Lucas's licenses as he spaces. Then it clicked as he started recalling where he knew of him. "Lucas Scott, as in the Lucas Scott best-selling author Lucas Scott?" he asked excitedly.
Lucas and Brooke couldn't help but laugh at his expression. "Yeah that's me" Lucas said a little nervous.
"I read your book- actually I have it right here. Are you Pey-" he began saying as he turned to Brooke.
"No-" Brooke said laughing as Lucas rolled his eyes.
"Oh my god! Brooke Davis?!" they all heard from behind Steve.
The three then turned their attention to the girl who Brooke assumed had to be at least 19 or 20 of age. Her mouth was dropped open as her eyes were widening with excitement. Lucas and Brooke couldn't help but smile and laugh once again.
"Stephanie-" Steve started saying. "They're guests, you know what our Hotel rule is" he mumbles under this breath.
"I'm sorry Steve" she started saying in her defense. "But this is "Brooke Davis as in Multi-Millionaire owner of Clothes over Bros Brooke Davis?" she shrieked pulling out one of Brooke's magazine from under the counter."This is "the" Brooke Davis I've been telling you about" she cried pointing to the magazine she was holding.
Brooke couldn't help but feel bad that Stephanie was getting lectured for being excited in meeting her. "Hand it over" she said laughing as she shook her head.
Stephanie was beyond delighted as she did what she was told. "Thank you, thank you. You don't know how much I love your designs." She added. "My friends and I all wear it!" she praised.
"Why thank you." Brooke replied
Lucas couldn't help but admire how devoted Brooke was to her fans.
"I'm so sorry" Steve said now turning his attention back to Lucas and Brooke.
"It's really no problem" she replied. "Steve how would you like it if Lucas signed your book?" she asked with a smile on her face.
"I'd say, you don't have to ask me twice" he chuckled now sliding his book over in front of Lucas.
Brooke then nudged Lucas as he shook his head at her.
Just then it hit Steve were he's heard of Brooke Davis besides from the magazine. "Wait a minute" he said as he got their attention once again. "You're Brooke Davis from- from the book?!" he stated as he flipped through it. "She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant and beautiful and brave; in two years she's grown more than anyone that I've known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world some day and I'm not sure if she even knows it"
That quote always brought tears to Brooke's eyes as it meant a lot to her that Lucas believed in her.
Lucas couldn't help realize how their check in all of a sudden became a fan meet and greet.
"This is our lucky night" said Steve as he turned to Stephanie then back to Brooke and Lucas. Stephanie, they're our newest newlyweds" he said as he handed Lucas back his driver's license and credit card."
"OMG!" Stephanie screamed! "This is amazing! Congrats to the both of you"
Just then Brooke saw Stephanie grab her cell phone and started texting."I can't wait to tell all my friends that you're here with your husband!" she added walking away.
"Wait, newlyweds?" Brooke and Lucas both said in unison utterly beyond disbelief.
"Wait, wait there must be some kind of mistake" said Brooke as she tried to get Stephanie's attention before she disappeared into the back. She knew it was too late. It was like high school all over again. Juicy gossip spreads faster than you think.
"Well, it shows here that you'll be staying on the 8th Floor room 512 and on behalf and courtesy of the Bellagio hotel, you will find complimentary gifts all around your-"
"Actually we're not-" Lucas tried once again
"Gifts?!" Brooke mouthed excitedly as she entered the tail end of the conversation. She had already forgotten about Stephanie 411'ing everyone in her phone contact list about her and Lucas's new status. "What the heck" she thought. "Awww, gifts? Did you hear that honey?" she said as she grabbed a hold of Lucas's right arm.
Steve couldn't help admire the couple in front of him as Lucas shot her confused looks but kept a smile on his face while doing so.
"Like I was telling Mr. Scott, on behalf and courtesy of the Bellagio hotel, you will be receiving complimentary gifts for your stay.
"Aww that's so sweet" Lucas heard her say as he kept his eyes on her while she listened intently. He couldn't help but laugh, love and miss his old beautiful, cheery Brooke Davis from High school. He always loved how the littlest things excited her, which he could tell from the sparkle in her eyes. "Oh yes, my wife and I" he said as he patted her hand with his while leaving it there on hers "would like to thank you and your hotel from the bottom of our hearts for the generous gifts." he said now putting an arm around Brooke.
Brooke nudged his hip with her hip as she smiled at him.
"Of course" said Steve. "Our hotel loves you newlyweds. It's such a great honor to have you both staying here for the weekend. It gives us hope that love is real and there's somebody out there for everyone." he said as he handed Lucas their room keys.
Brooke and Lucas stayed quiet as they were both lost in thought.
"Well, Mr. and Mrs. Scott, enjoy your stay here at the Bellagio. If there's anything you need, please press 0 from your hotel phone and we'd be more than happy to assist you."
"Thank you Steve" they both said in unison as they walked towards the elevator.
Lucas and Brooke both broke out into laughs as the elevator doors closed behind them leaving them alone. "Honey?Newlyweds?"" Lucas asked as he shook his head laughing. "You know if they ever found out that we-"
"Yes honey- Luke!" she repeated "and who says they have to ever find out we're not?" she smirked. "Besides we got complimentary free gifts out of this expensive hotel which you paid a fortune for by the way" She chuckled.
He then leaned against the wall as he crossed his arms grinning. "Brooke Davis, and her brilliant ideas!"
"That's right baby" she laughed. "Now Will you please come on already?" she asked as the elevator door opened.
He then slid his key into the door as he pushed it open for her hitting the light switch before she walked in.
"Omg" she gasps. "Luke it's such a beautiful room" she exclaimed as she walked into the living room/dining area with a fully loaded kitchen. She then started making her way towards the bedroom.
Lucas walked in behind her confused as he sets down their luggages. "Wait a minute, it's a-
"Suite" she said finishing his sentence."Uh- Luke, there's only a master bedroom" she said yelling from the room. She couldn't help but smile at all the beautiful rose pedals that were scattered all over the cal-king size bed. On top of the bed there was a beautiful gift basket put together with 2 glasses with a champagne bottle along with chocolate covered strawberries. She then saw a trail of rose pedals entering the master bathroom. It was beautifully set up in there as well. On top of the double sink there laid another gift basket with his and her matching robes along with a gift certificate for a free 1 hour massage for both the bride and groom as well as a facial/foot scrub for the bride down at the spa. There were rose pedals everywhere as she eyed the candles on the counter top of the Jacuzzi.
…
Lucas walked over towards the phone as he sat down on the couch. "Reservations Desk, Steve speaking" he heard him say.
"Steve it's-"
"Ah Mr. Scott- How's the Honeymoon/Newlywed Suite for you?" Steve said chuckling as he knew why they'd be calling.
Lucas was tired and getting a little frustrated with Steve cutting him off as he tried to talk regardless if he was a fan of his or not. "I think there must be some kind of mistake because-" he tried explaining.
"No, no mistake. See, I've decided to upgrade you and the lovely Mrs. at no charge. This is your weekend."
"What do you mean this is my weekend?" Lucas asked confused. "Look no offense but it's late, we're both tired and honestly I'm really not in any mood to play games. Now, can you please just fix this?" he begged.
"There's really nothing to fix sir."
"But I don't understand. This must be some kind of joke because there's no way I could afford this suite for the weekend, one night yeah but for the whole weekend" he began saying.
"I know that in your book you ended up with Ms. Sawyer or that's what everyone thought and hoped for, but when I read your book I could see the love you have for Mrs. Davis- Scott as well through your writing and your eyes, so please just enjoy this unforgettable weekend with one another. We could tell who's obviously in your heart and I wouldn't agree more that you made a perfect choice."
Lucas was still taken back at what he just heard. "What do you mean you could tell who's obviously in my heart and that you wouldn't agree more that I made a perfect choice." He asked?
"Well for one you're both here together as newlyweds in one of the most romantic suites here in Las Vegas and two by the way you two look at each other. It's almost like there's no one else in the room but you two. Like I said earlier Mr. Scott, Enjoy this unforgettable weekend on the behalf of the Bellagio Hotel. You are talking to Steve Humphreys."
"Okay?" he thought quietly to himself. "And just who are you Steve Humphreys" he sighed.
Steve sighed himself. "Rest assures Mr. Scott, this clearly is no joke. I've taken care of everything; you have my word. See my father owns the hotel, and I've pulled a few strings so don't you worry about a thing. I hope you and Mrs. Scott enjoy your stay here at the Bellagio. If there's anything you need, please do not hesit-."
"Steve" Lucas said cutting him off. "Can I ask why? Why Brooke and I?"
"Because I read your book and it allowed me to view your life as well as Mrs. Scott's through your eyes. I understand that a lot of people in your life as well have it hard, but I promised myself that if I'd ever meet you I'd accommodate you in any way I can; and since you're here with your wife I'm planning on keeping my promise. I read how hard you both had it from family to friends and the struggles your love had to overcome to be where you're at now. Isn't that what love is all about? Over-coming all those obstacles and in the end you're still together, still so much in love?" he asked
Lucas stayed quiet as he tried to comprehend everything. A part of him never stopped loving Brooke even after she broke up with him without giving him a real reason as to why.
…
"God, this is heaven" she exclaimed but it had to be some kind of mistake. She felt kind of guilty smiling or even having these thoughts in her mind since she knew that she and Lucas could never be. He didn't love her like she loved him. She sighed as she made her way back towards Lucas.
…
"I love her more than you'll ever know" Lucas said in his head as he finally admitted his true feelings. He felt a little out of place as he felt his cheeks turn red because normally he would be having this conversation either with his brother Nathan or his best friend/sister in law Hailey not some stranger whose family owned the hotel he was staying at. "Yeah but this is too much. I-We can't accept this offer" he said.
"I won't have it any other way." he heard Steve say.
"No, no it's too much" he said once again.
"Okay, fine lets' make a deal. I will charge you whatever we were originally going to charge you for this weekend, but instead you're going to be staying in the suite with the Mrs. instead of the other room. How about that?" he asked. "Lets' just say, for this weekend, I'm your fairy god Father." said Steve. "Good Night sir"
"Steve-" Lucas said once more
"Yes Sir"
"Please call me Lucas," he laughed "You've got yourself a deal, and thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. There should be more people like you out there you know."
"I know." Steve said smiling. "Oh Mr. Scott. This is our little secret. Mrs. Scott doesn't have to know about our deal. All she has to know is that your love for her is real and unconditional." He added before hanging up.
"Finally" she said now sitting across from him. "So what room are we moving too?" she asked a little disappointed.
"No mistake." Replied Lucas still a little overwhelmed.
"What do you mean? Luke-" she said standing up. "This place is gorgeous yes, but there's no way in hell am I allowing you to pay for all of this" she said pointing around the whole hotel.
He then had a flash back-
"Oh Mr. Scott, this is our little secret. Mrs. Scott never has to know about the deal. All she has to know is that your love for her is real and unconditional."
"Brooke- this is our weekend! Let's just enjoy it okay?" he pleaded.
She was taken back with what he just said, but something in his facial expression as well as tone of voice didn't make her want to question him. "So we're staying here? In this room?" she asked once again smiling.
"Yes, we're staying here in this room" he confirmed as he watched the excitement in her eyes."Good because I already fell in love with this room-" she smirked kinking her eyebrow. "You've got to see this suite Luke, and the view is to die for" she added as she grabbed his hand pulling him up."
He couldn't help but fall in love with her all over again. "This is our weekend" he said nodding his head as he kept his eyes locked on her.
After settling in and getting ready for bed they realized it was 4:30am. She came out of the bathroom with her hair pulled up into a ponytail dressed in a red tank top wearing a pair of pinkish-red plaided victoria secret boy shorts. "It's all yours" she said smiling as he walked into the bedroom.
Lucas couldn't help but admire at how beautiful she looked even in her PJ's.
As he changed and got all comfy he walked out as she sat down on the bed with her phone in her hands.
"I almost forgot to turn it on"
"Don't-" he said as she turned to look up at him. "This is our weekend get-a-way; let's just enjoy it without interruptions."
"But Luke, everyone's probably going to be worried, and what about work?" she exclaimed
"It's just for 2 days. How about we make a deal?" he said sitting down next to her.
"I'm listening" she said as she kinked her eye brows.
"We can turn on our phones as we land in Tree hill-"
She gave him a "come on" look
"Or, or- we can turn it on as we leave this hotel sunday night."
"Oh like that's any better" she joked as she looked down at her blackberry and then back up to Lucas. "I don't know Luke? This would be the longest that I'd be unavailable to be in contact with and what about Peyt-"
"They'll survive without you for 2 days Brooke. 2 day's is all I'm asking for. Please?" he begged
She took a deep breath. She could never say no to Lucas Scott. "I guess you're right. I mean I did leave Peyton and Millie both a msg before I showed up to the airport and OMG Tutor mom! I forgot to tell Tutor mom!" she said covering her mouth. "I've got to call her" she said about to dial-"
"Brooke" he said as he snatched her phone. One it's almost 5am and two I'll take care of Hailey!"
She stayed quiet for a few minutes as she stared into his eyes. "Oh alright" she said as she caved in.
"Thanks Pretty girl, now lets get some sleep" he said getting up off the bed. "Uh, I'll take the couch so if you need me-" he said as he started grabbing some pillows.
She didn't want him to go. "Don't be silly Luke" she said pulling him back onto the bed. "We're friends, there's no harm in us sharing a bed. "Ugh, did I just say that out loud?" she asked herself still holding Lucas's wrist. "I mean it's only fair that we share the bed especially when you paid for this whole trip. If it's too uncomfortable for you I'll take the couch." she said now getting up to her feet.
"Don't be silly Brooke" he said as it was his turn now to grab her arm. "We'll share the bed as long as you're positive it's okay with you."
"Of course," she said smiling. "Here, we'll even put this long pillow right in between us" she said as he rolled his eyes at her.
They both settled in under the covers as they had butterflies in their tummies.
"Luke" she said after a few minutes.
"Yes" he replied as he propped up onto his elbow.
"Thank you for this" she said smiling as she took in the scent of the roses all of their bed.
"You're welcome Pretty girl. Thank you for coming with me" he replied.
Just hearing him call her pretty girl made her heart flutter.
Luke had assumed Brooke had fallen asleep as he stayed awake. His mind was once again on overload as he started thinking about his conversation Steve to him sharing a bed with his pretty girl as friends for the weekend, and then to everything else that was happening in his life.
"Can you stop brooding already" Brooke asked as she turned to face him as she kept her eyes closed.
"What makes you think I'm brooding?" he asked her laughing
"Because I know you to well Luke and even if you aren't talking about it I can still hear you think you know" she smirked. "What's wrong?" she asked as her eyes flipped open.
He stayed quiet.
"Come on Luke"
"Did you ever wonder how life got so complicated?" he asked now turning to face her as well.
"Yes and No" she replied. "Life's only complicated because we make it complicated. I think a lot of us assumed that once we turned into adults it would get a lot easier but news flash it's not" she laughed in her raspy voice."
"But the older we get, shouldn't it be filled with less drama, like say none to be exact?" he questioned.
"Yes and No. But in your case Luke, I'm sorry but drama will always find you." she said as she placed a warm and caring hand on his arm. "You have to decide who you want standing next to you Luke, and who ever that person is, she will share all her hopes and dreams with you, but first you have to stop hiding your heart and let whoever it is in fully." She said sympathically as she yawned.
"When did you get all Lucas Scott on me?" he asked her with a chuckle.
"I learn from the best" she smiled with her eyes closed as sleep was taking over.
"I love you Pretty girl, you know that?"
"Hmm, I love you too Broody" she said before she was out.
He couldn't help but chuckle as he heard her evenly breathing. As much as he wanted to hold her close and wrap her in his arms he knew he couldn't. Just sharing the same bed with her brought back all his memories of how much he loved her. "Oh Brooke" he said as she turned towards him deep asleep. "Where did things go wrong between us?" he asked as he tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. "I miss you pretty girl" he said smiling as he felt his eyes slowly close.
Throughout the night, they both tossed and turned not once waking up. Lucas turned towards Brooke as she had her back now facing him. His hand found its' place on her waist pulling her closer to him. 20mins later, with his arm still around her waist, she turned to face him as they were now face to face still deep asleep. Lucas then pulls her closer to him as he rests his chin on her forehead, arms still wrapped tightly around one another as smiles appeared on their faces. They both haven't realized that they're not dreaming but in fact it was really all happening. They continue tossing and turning as their arms always found one another throughout the night.
An hour goes by as there was a knock at the door. Lucas's eyes open as he groans to the third knock. As he was about to get up, a smile is plastered to his face as he realized that his pretty girl's arm was wrapped tightly around him as his to her. He then feels her slowly moving as she starts to open her eyes squinting from the bright sun. He quickly closes his eyes not wanting to ruin the moment. The knocking continues as she groans and curses under her breath. Before she could get up, shock overcomes her as she realizes that she and Lucas are face to face, with arms wrapped around one another tightly.
Lucas takes a peek at her as he continues on smiling. He couldn't help but noticed the shock expression on her face as she detangles herself from his embrace. She then turns onto her back as she closes her eyes before lifting up the covers.
"Phew" she managed to say as she realized they were still fully clothed. Just then she heard the knock again as she senses Lucas waking up. She then flips onto her side facing away from him as she pretends to go back to sleep.
He couldn't help but shake his head as he slowly got up to answer the door.
She then sat up as a smile formed on her face. She pulled her hair up into a ponytail as she heard him thanking someone.
"Good morning pretty girl" he said as he walked back carrying a tray.
"Good morning Luke" she replied. "Breakfast? But how?" she asked confused.
"When you were in the bathroom last night" he replied.
"Awww you're so sweet" she replied as he handed her a long stem red rose. She felt her cheeks get hot from blushing with his gesture. "Tell me its' pancakes?" she asked
"Of course!" he replied as he opened the top of the tray. "So what's the plan for today?" he asked as they ate breakfast.
