Lucas Scott eyes were wide, and his mouth hung open in shock. He stood still for just a moment, then gasped and rushed forward to embrace the man sitting at his kitchen table. In mid-step though, his mother cleared her throat loudly and he stopped dead in his tracks. He grinned sheepishly to his mother and shrugged his shoulders.
"Hey mom…" he started slowly, "new haircut?"
His mother had a stern look on her face as she stood up to face her son. Karen Roe came about to Lucas's shoulders but that didn't make her any less intimidating. She jabbed her index finger into his chest hard, then shoved him backwards. He stumbled slightly, and then recovered quickly, looking towards his mother in fear. "Lucas Eugene Scott! How DARE you scare me like that? How stupid do you think I am? Did you really think I wouldn't notice if you stayed out all frickin night? What could possibly have made you think something like this was okay…"
She continued on for what seemed like hours, then pulled him into a heartwrenching hug. She then stepped back, whacked him across the head, nodded, and sat back down, breathing a huge sigh of relief. "Now Lucas, you can see we have a house guest."
Brooke Davis stood in front of her full length mirror examining herself. She had just stepped out of the shower, where she had spent 45 minutes, scrubbing, washing, and exfoliating every inch of her petite body. Her Alba Botanica Papaya Mango Exfoliating body scrub, which had been full yesterday morning was now squeezed to the last drop. She felt relaxed and rejuvenated ready to begin her day. Well in this case it would be ready to begin her night, seeing as it was rounding 5pm. Somehow she couldn't put her finger on it, but as she looked at her slender body in the mirror, something through her off. She glanced down at her ankle, toppling over in the process. She left her towel casually slip to the floor as she examined the tiny anklet around the lower part of her leg. She had never seen anything like it, it was exquisite and looked pretty expensive. She touched it gently looking at the tiny engraving. On the metal clasp was a small line of words barely visible. Don't ever think you're not good enough Pretty Girl. She suddenly felt a wave of emotion pass through her as she imagined how Lucas had slipped out and made this tiny, yet thoughtful purchase. She couldn't believe someone she had just met was so incredibly generous and sweet. Just then her doorbell rang, shrieking though the house causing her to take an extra breath. She knew it had to be Haley. She had called her earlier to come and get ready, they were going to hit up a new club tonight that had just opened up downtown. Tric was the name… she thought. She leaned back towards the doorway peering down the stairs and yelled "Its open" Then she stood back up, wrapping the towel back around herself and threw her wet hair into an alligator clip. She heard loud footsteps coming up the stairs. "Im in here Hales" she yelled as the guest approached the bathroom. But instead of Haley's head of light brown hair, the head of Lucas Scott peeked around the corner. Brooke shrieked and jumped into the air, then ran past him into her adjoining bedroom and slammed the door. She sat soundlessly on the bed, trying to catch her breath as she thanked god she had put her towel back on.
Knock Knock Knock
"You okay there Cheery?" Lucas asked tenderly.
"Fine" she stated firmly. "Gimme a girl minute please, could you wait downstairs? There's Xbox and digital cable, just head down the stairs and hang a right." She could hear his loud thumping signifying him heading back down the stairs. She rushed to quickly throw on her favorite Mossimo Red Voile Shirtdress in black and her super skinny jeans. Then she threw on a pair of her cutest black flats and rushed into the bathroom. She squeezed a small dollop of Marc Anthony's Simply Straight Instant Straightening Cream in her hand and ran it through her damp hair. Then rushed to put on some foundation, eyeliner, and mascara. She quickly gave herself a once over in the mirror and nodded slightly. Then she started down the stairs following the bleeps and bloops of the video game that had engrossed Lucas. She walked into the living room expecting to find him alone but was pleasantly surprised to see Haley sitting right next to him, controller in hand, stomping her tiny feet at the sounds of gunfire. Brooke cleared her throat loudly and both heads turned to look at her smiling. Brooke nodded to Haley beckoning her towards her upstairs room and held up her index finger to Lucas, telling him they needed a moment alone. He immediately turned his head back to the game, and was playing furiously as the girls rushed up the stairs, practically shrieking in excitement.
"So Miss Brooke Davis" Haley started as she sat down Indian style on the large pink poof in the middle of Brooke's floor, "are you going to tell me where you have been the last 24 hours?" she asked smiling.
Brooke bit her bottom lip and shrugged, "Oh you know here and there."
Haley reached onto the queen sized bed and grabbed one of Brookes oversized feather pillows, then threw it at the brunette with as much force as she could. Brooke shrieked with laughter and fell over on the floor giggling. Haley was tickling her, threatening not to stop until Brooke revealed every last detail.
"Okay okay ill spill" she gasped, trying to catch her breath. Haley backed off and looked at her best friend, eyes wide with excitement. Suddenly Brooke humped up and ran swiftly out of the room heading for the stairs. Haley shrieked and followed suit, crashing after the brunette.
Brooke ran hurriedly into the living room and threw her arms around Lucas. He jumped up and looked at her questioningly. "Protect me," she whispered softly in his ear, and when Haley came darting into the living room and saw his arms up, protecting her friend, she stuck out her bottom lip and sat on the floor clearly defeated. Brooke stood awkwardly in Lucas's arms for a moment looking up into his eyes. He was looking straight back into hers, his face entirely too close. All too quickly Haley grabbed her from behind forcing the two apart. "You guys wanna hit up the diner? Im starving"
