Heya guys... So how lucky is that I've had some time to write so I'm bringing you guys the next chapter.
I've needed the break from all the guy drama I've currently got going on in my life. Gosh I can't wait for my trip to Merica next November. I'm so excited to go New York and see my mate.
Anyway here is the next Chapter ENJOY!
The barbecue seemed to go on forever. Arianna and Maddie looked like they were having fun and that made me happy, that they seemed to gel well with my friends. I sat at the a table with a glass of red wine and crossed my left leg over my right. Everything around me seemed confused and complicated, I thought I'd just come back see Lucas, have our talk and that'll be it ; of course that isn't it.
Nathan made a good point and now my head is in a whirl wind not knowing what to do. Did I want Lucas back? Do I want the fairy-tale ending like Naley have?
"your still here then Brooke" I was brought out of my thoughts by Peyton. She sat down beside me and placed her empty glass on the table and crossed her left leg over her right leg and a started to rock it.
"well I was invited Peyton" I reply taking a sip of my wine.
"yeah I know that Brooke, but after that episode you pulled when you got here I thought you would have gone home; I know I would have"
"yeah, but I'm not you Peyton"
"And that's a good thing?" she raised her eye brow as she looked at me like I had to answer her, but I didn't so she carried on "because the way I see it Brooke is that you want to be me"
"I want to be you" It was a statement so I laughed "I didn't want to be you in high school Peyton so why would I want to be to you now?"
She scowled at me and I could see that by me being calm it was annoying her "because Brooke..." she pushed my name through her gritted teeth "like in high school I have Lucas"
"but you didn't really because he never actually cared for you in high school" thank god for Nathan and his knowledge of the situation.
That made her super mad and I could see the steam wanting to come from her ears "he did to care for me Brooke"
"is that why he can't say he loves you Peyton because he really does care for you right?"
"how did you..."
"have you actually met Karen his Ma?" I question interrupting her.
"No, but she's on a trip for a while and..."
"oh is she?" I paused for a moment and looked at her with my glass of wine in my hand "because I got an email from her when I got to Tree Hill and we're going for coffee tomorrow afternoon"
"you are?" I nodded and Peyton took a look over at Lucas "it's okay Peyton, I mean maybe he'll learn to love you eventually" and with that I give her a smile and stand up "this conversation was so nice... Thank you" and I walked away.
Brooke 1 Peyton 0
I was getting ready to go. It was getting late and I had a conference call tomorrow morning and then I'm meeting Karen for coffee and I have so much to do. I walk over to where Healey, Nathan, Rachel and Arianna were.
"Hey guys, sorry for cutting in, but I'm heading out now" I told them giving them all a smile "thank you for the invite and it was nice seeing ya'll again"
"oh hold on Brooke I'll get Maddie and we'll come with" Arabian says looking round for her 5 year old.
"oh Ari nah that's okay" I tell her "you guys stay... You have the key and just take a taxi home and I'll see you tomorrow"
"you sure?" I nod and give her a hug.
"oh thank you Brooke for coming" Haley hugs me "it was so nice having you here"
"don't be a stranger Brookie" Nathan says as he brings me into a hug "I really have missed you"
"I've missed you guys too"
I then pulled Rachel into a hug "well arrange a get together again soon okay" they all nod "see you guys later" I wave bye to them and look over at Lucas who looked to be in a serious conversation with Peyton so I just headed put instead of saying bye.
I walk back into the house and through the kitchen to the living area and to the door when my phone buzzed in my purse. I paused at the living room door and pulled my iPhone from my bag. It was a next from Hayden, she was looking after things for me in London while I was here.
Hey B, sorry to bother you, but the shipment for LA has been delayed because the plane is under construction and Marie isn't happy to have to wait. She's threatening to cancel our contract with her. What do I do? H xxx
"Shit!" I mutter stomping my foot and running my free hand through my hair.
"trouble in paradise?" I turn around and see Lucas standing behind me "anything a lawyer can help you with?"
I shake my head and look down at my phone. I dial Hayden's number and she picks up first ring.
"oh thank goodness Brooke you called. I don't know what to do and Marie is not exactly patient and the plane won't be done for another day or two and she needs the shipment by Friday and I'm afraid it won't get there in time and she threatening to cancel out contact and..."
"Okay Hayden I need you to calm down for me okay and I need you to tell Marie that her shipment will be there by Friday"
"Okay Brooke I can do that" Hayden says and I could hear her calm down a little "but Brooke how we going to pull this one out the bag?"
"Don't you worry about that H, I'll be home by tomorrow evening and I'll sort it out okay"
"Oh god I've ruined your trip haven't I... Oh I'm so sorry Brooke" she apologised with panic evident in her voice.
"Don't worry about it H, Arianna is going to deal with it and Lucas will help her of course and I'll fly home and come sort out this"
"And you don't hate me?"
"Of course I don't. I'll see you soon okay H"
"Okay Brooke" and with that we both hung up
"Your going home?" came Lucas's so soft voice from behind me.
I give a swift nod and press dial on my phone again "Jeffery dear I need you to book me on the next flight to London as soon as possible. Thank you" I hang up and turn back to Lucas "I need to sort out some business in London, I need you to tell Arianna that I will call her from the airport and tell the others I'll be in contact soon"
"but Brooke I need to talk to you..."
"Oh and tell Karen that I'll have to reschedule our coffee meet"
"I'll do all that for you Brooke, but I really need to speak with you"
"Okay" I reply putting my phone into my bag and swinging it on my shoulder "what's up Luke?"
"The conversation you had with Peyton"
"What about it?" I question
"She isn't the reason you were leaving the party right?" I smile and shake my head. It was sweet he still worried about me "because she's a bit worried about you being in Tree Hill again and I think you being here intimidates her"
I laughed and so did Lucas "I was leaving because I had a lot to do tomorrow that's all Luke"
"Is there any chance you will come back soon?" the look on his face is one I noticed. It was a scared look. Lucas was scared I wasn't coming back.
"this isn't goodbye Luke, I'll come back eventually just don't know when" I stepped towards him and wrap my arms around his neck bringing him into a hug "please help Ariana with her case Luke, she needs your help"
"of course Brooke, I'll do everything I can for her and Maddie and of course you too" Lucas hugs me back "I'm going to miss you Pretty Girl" I froze for a moment and nah is arms and then pulled away from him.
"I haven't heard that in years" I mutter looking at him. Our faces were so close I could feel his breath on my lips. Lucas brought his hand up to my face and traced my cheek with his finger sending chills down my spine.
"I almost forgot how much I've missed you Brooke" he whispers and we stayed in that position for what seemed a long time "I've missed you" and without warning Lucas leaned in and placed his lips on mine.
I melted into the kiss wrapping my arms around Lucas's neck as he wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer, then as we got more into the kiss. Lucas lightly pushed me against the hallway wall and ran his ran down my body moving my leg up and I wrap it around his waist. God how I've missed Lucas's kisses. His hot passionate blind blowing kisses.
"What the hell Lucas?"
We both pulled apart to see Peyton standing from the doorway of her living room "Peyton..." I breath d out trying to get my breath back. You could say Lucas took my breath away with that kiss.
"Don't you say my name, you slutty whore who steals boyfriends" she barked at me "god I knew this was going to happen and you said it wouldn't"
"Yeah well I lied" Lucas states shrugging his shoulder as he wiped his mouth "you just wouldn't shut up about it"
"I really have to go. I have a flight to catch. Luke can you please tell the others what I said" I didn't wait for an answer I just rushed to the front door.
"See what you've gone and done now Peyton" I heard Lucas say "now I don't know when she's coming back"
"Yeah well shoving your tongue down her throat wasn't exactly going to help was it?" Peyton replies. I stopped for a moment and leaned against the front door after I shut it and brought my fingers to my lips.
Lucas had actually kissed me, but his still with Peyton. Yeah he doesn't seem to be happy in the relationship with the blond, but he is still in a committed relationship with her.
I shrug off everything that could happen and rush to my car. I have a flight to London to catch.
So what did you guys think? There was finally a Brucas kiss, by Brooke had to leave and Peyton saw.
What do you think will happen now? Will lucks leave Peyton and want Brooke back or will Brooke even consider being with Lucas again?
And what about her life in London... Will she give that up to be with Lucas or will Lucas give up Tree Hill to be with Brooke?
Keep reading to find out...
