"Ok ladies what would you like to drink?" Sam asked as they walked into the café.
"Umm… I would like an ice coffee please." Peyton smiled.
"Ok Brooke?"
"Umm…I want a large coffee with two sugars and one cream."
"No you don't." Lucas laughed as everyone turned and stared. "I mean she does but she doesn't want a large she wants a medium. She will get a large then halfway through it complain it was too big and ask why you got her something so big. Then she will complain it's not enough sugar and send you on like 12 trips to get more."
"So fine Lucas Scott what do I want?" Brooke smirked.
"You want a medium it just big enough for you and you want four sugars and three creams." He said staring at her smiling. "Oh and you want us to bring you three extra packets of sugar just in case."
"Wow your good." Peyton smirked.
"Well I have known Brooke Davis for awhile now."
"Well then you know I want my coffee by now. So go boys go get It." they guys laughed as they went to get their coffee.
"So you and Lucas just friends huh?"Peyton smirked.
"Umm…yeah"
"Does he know that? I mean you two have so much tension its crazy. So what really happened between you and him?"
"Nothing it's just weird seeing him. " Brooke shrugged not wanting to talk about Lucas.
"Why?"
"Here is ya'll drinks" Sam said handing the girls their stuff and sitting down next to Brooke.
'Saved by the bell' Brooke thought she didn't know how she was going to explain Lucas to Peyton and she really didn't want to.
"So how is the coffee?" Lucas smirked to Brooke. He knew he knew her better then Sam and it definitely made him feel better.
"It's good but would be better if it had…"
"Cinnamon." Lucas smiled pulling out some cinnamon and handing it to her.
"Yeah" Brooke smiled taking it from him, taking it as the group fell into a comfortable silence.
"Well I guess we better be going." Sam said looking at his watch.
"So soon?" Lucas asked not wanting Brooke to leave.
"Yeah Brooke promised me if I was nice she would make it up to me tonight." Sam winked and hit Lucas on the arm, completely missing the sad look on the blondes face.
"Yeah" Lucas said turning to look at Brooke who was talking to Peyton.
"So you want to come over? I live just up the street." Peyton asked Lucas with a smile.
He looked over at Brooke and Brooke just gave him a look when he turned back to Peyton.
"Rain check?" he smiled.
"Sure but all these drinks and coffee I need to run to the bathroom." Peyton laughed as she walked away.
"Yeah actually me too. Get a cab please babe." Sam said kissing her as he walked off.
Brooke and Lucas stepped outside waiting for a cab. They stood there a few minutes in the cold winter saying nothing, Lucas stood with his hands in his pockets while Brooke stood there wrapping her arms tight around her body trying to keep warm.
"So…" Brooke started breaking the silence. "You like Peyton? She is so sweet and really seems to like you. You would be good for her she needs someone. She is a real great friend to me. You know I was actually…"
"Don't go home with him." Lucas interrupted.
"What?" Brooke asked confused.
"Please don't." Lucas pleaded with sad eyes.
"He is my boyfriend Lucas." Brooke stated but not in a pissed tone or anything, more like a sad I'm sorry that's how it is.
"I know and I get that but please just don't." he said as he moved closer towards her. "Ok I get it, I know how you felt in high school and it sucks, but the thought of him kissing you, touching you, being with you it just ugh makes me sick ok. You want it to hurt it hurts damn does it hurt please Brooke."
"Lucas I'm not doing it as pay back. I'm not with him to make you feel how I felt." Brooke answered looking at the ground, why was he doing this? Why after all this time, why couldn't he be saying these things when she could be with him?
"I know I get that but just don't go home with him Brooke. Come with me or go to your house I don't care just don't go there." He was begging her, he knew he messed up, on many things through their friendship but he was trying to fix it and he just couldn't sleep knowing she was with Sam.
"Luke…I…" Brooke started as a single tear slipped down her cheek.
"Hey you get a cab?" Peyton yelled as she and Sam walked out of the café.
"Umm…yeah" Brooke said wiping a tear off her eye and stepping a step back from Lucas, hoping Sam hadn't seen how close she was standing to Lucas.
"So babe you coming over tonight?" Sam whispered as he wrapped his arm over her shoulder. Brooke looked up at Sam then Lucas, then down at the ground.
A/N ok maybe a little shorter than normal sorry but hope you like it anyway :))
