Chapter 6

Brunch had gone as Brooke thought it would go, horribly. Lucas kept staring at Owen like he wanted to kill him, while Owen was on cloud nine. Not only did he get to spend the morning with a very beautiful girl, but he got to rub it in Lucas's face too. He kept a protective arm around Brooke the entire time they ate. Brooke reminded herself to tell Nathan thank you for giving her information on Owen and the mutual dislike between him and Lucas. After they finished eating Owen gathered his stuff and left, but not before kissing Brooke goodbye. Lucas was on fire and he wanted to pound Owen into the ground. He already disliked Owen, but now that he was hanging around Brooke, he absolutely hated him. Brooke promised she would call him later so they could hang out and then let him out.

Lucas was ecstatic when he finally left. He couldn't stand to see those two together.

"Well we're alone now, did you have fun?" Brooke asked after letting out a big breath. She started cleaning off the table.

He looked at her. "Are you seriously going to ask me that question? As if you couldn't read my expressions." He said sarcastically.

She chose to be silent this time. She stared at him with a puzzled look on her face.

"So, you don't waste any time do you?" he asked.

"Huh?" she asked continuing the act.

"I mean you just got back in town yesterday. One minute you're confessing your love to me and then the next you already have a new boyfriend!"

"Hey, he's not my boyfriend yet, mister so hold your horses!" she said. Then she started walking towards him. "Plus, if my memory serves me right you have a girlfriend. So why would it matter to you, huh?" She stopped only inches from him and put her hands firmly on her hips awaiting his answer.

He sighed. "Are you seriously going to ask me that question Brooke?"

"I don't see why not?"

"Well…………….Because we have history Brooke. Why would I want to see you with another guy………especially if I still have feelings for you." He stared intently into her hazel eyes.

She turned away from him. "Well if you still have feelings for me, then why are you going out with Peyton?"

"You know it's not that simple Brooke. I have feelings for Peyton too."

It hurt Brooke so much to hear him say that. It still hadn't hit her that Lucas was with Peyton. Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer, her best friend since forever. How could Peyton think it was alright to do something like this? She didn't even have the decency to ask her before she started dating Lucas. Brooke found herself getting angry that Lucas had feelings for Peyton. She was sad, because she was the only thing keeping Lucas away from her. She was jealous because she had the only thing Brooke really wanted. She felt all sorts of emotions, none of which were good ones.

"Well…I don't know what to say Lucas. You have Peyton, why can't I have Owen?" she asked trying to be strong, her emotions getting the best of her.

"I actually care for Peyton! You're just using Owen to make me jealous!"

"That is so not true Lucas! Why would I do a stupid thing like that?" she was mad that he had figured out her plan.

"That is just like you. Brooke I know you whether you want to believe it or not. I thought you had grown out of playing games, but I guess I was wrong."

"Well I guess it was working huh?" Brooke said under her breath, but Lucas still heard her.

He closed the gap between their bodies and wrapped his strong arms around her waist. Bending down he whispered in her ear. "You may be the queen of games" he bent his head down to Brooke's neck and sucked long and hard. She moaned loudly. She definitely hadn't expected him to do that.

"But guess what babe," he continued pulling away from her neck. "I'm the king." With that, he turned away and walked out of Brooke's door, leaving her in a daze and angry that he had pulled one of her own tricks on her. She couldn't think straight for the rest of the day. All she kept thinking about was Lucas. She couldn't wait until she had him back in her arms. She had so much fun with him today. She was going to make him forget about Peyton soon enough.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Lucas arrived at Peyton's the next morning. He chose to stay away from Peyton yesterday. After what had happened at Brooke's he knew that she would be the only thing on his mind for the rest of the day so he decided to wait it out until he was ready to give his girlfriend all of himself.

"Hey you," she greeted him as she saw him standing in the doorway.

He walked over to the blond. "Hey," he replied as he leaned down and gave her a kiss. She paused for the kiss and then continued the drawing she had been working on when he arrived.

"So I missed you yesterday, where were you?" she asked still concentrating on her drawing.

"Um, I was at Brooke's" he admitted hesitantly, not wanting to lie to his girlfriend.

Peyton looked up at Lucas at the mention of Brooke's name. Though she wouldn't admit it to anyone, Brooke's arrival back in Tree Hill brought a new insecurity to her relationship with Lucas. She knew that they were extremely close, probably closer than she and Lucas would ever be. She was worried that he would want her back and she didn't want to give Lucas up. She was falling in love with him. She felt like she was being selfish. After all, he was Brooke's first, but he was hers now and she wasn't going to give him up. On the other hand, she was happy that her best friend was back, she just didn't know how to be normal again around her after everything that had happened.

She cleared her throat. "So why were you over there?" She asked trying her hardest to sound casual.

"Well she invited me over for brunch."

Man the bitch doesn't waste any time does she? Peyton thought to herself. No Brooke's not a bitch. Man I really have to stop this jealousy stuff. Lucas and I are fine.

"Did you talk to her about us babe?" she hoped that he did, at least then that would show he wasn't afraid to tell Brooke about them.

"Yes," he started. "She didn't take it that well though" he said thinking back to their confrontation and the heated brunch yesterday.

"Well what did she say babe?" Peyton needed to know the situation. Was Brooke going to be a problem? Hopefully she had moved on just like Peyton prayed everyday, in case Brooke ever showed her face again in Tree Hill.

"Nothing serious, she just needs time" Lucas lied. He didn't want Peyton to know that Brooke was not going to give up that easily. Despite Peyton's efforts, he knew that she was insecure about the whole Brooke and Lucas relationship. She had every right to be, after all, he did still have feelings for Brooke. This was unknown to Peyton though, and he wanted to keep it that way.

"Ok Luke. Well maybe I'll go have a talk with her tomorrow, just to make sure were on good terms." Peyton really just wanted to make sure Brooke wasn't going to try to get Lucas back. She wanted to remain best friends with Brooke, but in the back of her mind, she knew something was brewing. She wondered if it was even possible for her and Brooke to remain friends at all.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Brooke answered her cell phone as she walked into Winn Dixie. The brunch she had the other day, wiped her out of what little food she had. She looked at the caller ID and smiled when she realized it was the person she wanted it to be.

"Hey Sexy," she let out as she answered her phone.

"Hi Brooke," came the voice of Lucas Scott.

"Oh, can you hang on one second. I think Owen is on the other line."

"Very funny Brooke," Lucas fake laughed at her 'so-called' joke.

"I thought so. So you must have been thinking of me, as always. In this fantasy, was I naked or clothed?"

He chuckled. "Wouldn't you like to know?" he decided to play along.

"Oh I think I already know, if you come over you might just get your wish." She was good.

"Tempting," He really was tempted but he had to stay strong. He thanked God that she hadn't gone with just showing up in his apartment naked because that would have been hopeless for him.

"So what do you really want sexy?"

"Well, I told Peyton that you and I talked about me and her being together. She just wants to make sure that everything is ok?"

"Oh. So she wants to make sure that you won't come back to me right?" Brooke retorted a little disappointed that he didn't call for a more 'Brooke-like' reason. "Well you know how I feel about everything." She replied.

Lucas sighed, "Well I'm just giving you a heads up Brooke. Please play nice. She's just trying to make me happy."

"She might be trying to make you happy Lucas, but she can't." Brooke's mood changed from playful to serious. "She can't make you happy like I can. You'll never truly be happy with her and you'll realize that I'm the one for you, the only one for you. I just hope it isn't too late when you finally do realize it."

Lucas listened to every word that Brooke said. He didn't know what to say. The playfulness had stopped and they were both being serious. He thought that he was doing the right thing by being with Peyton; after all, he wasn't ready to be with Brooke. Everything that Brooke had said made so much sense though. You'll never truly be happy with her and you'll realize that I'm the one for you, the only one for you. I just hope it isn't to late when you finally do realize it. Once again Brooke had found a way to remain in Lucas's thoughts for the rest of the day, the words that she said kept playing in his mind. She was all he could think about.
