Lucas:
As the kiss deepens, I tighten my grip around her waist and then move my hands under her top. I move them up her back, rubbing her soft skin and then gently unhooking her bra.
She shifts her position on my lap so both of her legs are around my body. Pulling back from the kiss, she smiles at me and whispers, "You're all mine, Lucas Scott" before kissing me again It reminds me of the first time we had sex after we got back together again in college.
We'd been going out for four months, but we still hadn't slept together yet. Whenever we got close, Brooke got skittish and would suggest we go get something to eat or would say she was tired.
We returned back to Tree Hill for the summer and hadn't seen Peyton since Spring break. I really wanted to everybody, including Peyton. In fact, I spent hours talking to Peyton as soon as we all got together again at my mom's cafe for a reunion dinner. And I hadn't noticed that Brooke was getting angry.
I had promised Mom that Brooke and I would clear up after before coming home. Everybody else left and I started to pile up the plates. Before picking them up, I turned to her and tried to give her a kiss but she moved away.
"Hey, what was that for?" I asked but she didn't reply
"Hey, hey" I took hold of her arm but she shook off my hand.
"WHAT is wrong?" I asked
"Nothing" she muttered
"Well, why do you keep moving away from me when I want to show some affection?"
"OH! So NOW you want to pay attention to me" she raised her voice
I sighed, " Look, I'm sorry if I wasn't paying much attention to you just now but we haven't seen Peyton for months-and really we haven't spent much time with Nathan and Haley recently"
"But it wasn't them you were paying all your attentions to, was it? No, it was Peyton"
"Peyton's my friend"
"And your ex-girlfriend" she added
"But you are my current girlfriend" I reminded her
"Well, the way you were acting tonight, it was hard to tell"
She started to move towards the counter but I stepped in front of her, "Look, I'm sorry, Ok?"
"No, it's NOT Ok, Lucas" Brooke told me in a low tone, "your behavior shows me that you clearly don't understand how I feel"
"Well then, tell me" I told her
"I can't"
"Why not? Just tell me. Tell me" I urged her
"Because-"
"Because?"
"Because I'm scared!" she snapped. She looked up at me and repeated in a whisper "I'm scared." A tear fell from her eye
"Brooke, don't cry" I wiped away the tear from her face, "What are you scared of?"
"I'm scared that you're going to realize that you made a mistake breaking up with Peyton and that even though you're with me, you want to be with her" she told me, "I'm scared of giving you my whole heart, Luke, cos I'm scared you're going to break it again"
I pulled her into my arms, "Brooke, there's no need to be scared"
"I started to think that last time"
"Last time we were together, I didn't pay you enough attention because I didn't realize that I wasn't and I had never been with Peyton and I didn't know what a relationship with her would be like-I broke up with her 5 months before I asked you out again-that gave me a really long time to make sure that what I'd done was right and it also gave me time to think about asking you out and to make sure it was the right thing to do-and guess what?"
"What?" she asked
"It was"
She smiled and then asked, "So does this mean that you were spending a really long time thinking about asking me out"
"Two months after I broke up with Peyton, I saw you across the quad, laughing-the sun caught your hair and you looked so beautiful and so happy and I realized that you would always have my heart" I took her chin in my hand and tilted her head up so I could make sure she was looking in my eyes, "Theres no need to be scared, I'm not going to hurt you again-you have my heart"
She stood on her tiptoes to kiss me.
"I love you" I told her and held her in my arms so that her feet weren't touching the floor but were a couple of centimeters above it
"I love you too" she whispered back
We carried on kissing, becoming more passionate. I moved us towards the counter when she stopped.
"Luke, I want to do this" she said, "SO bad but not HERE-this is your moms cafe"
I got what she meant and leaned my forehead against hers, "I'm just so in the moment"
"Me too" she whispered, "But we want this to be special"
I sat her on one of the counter stools and ran to the table, picking up the plates and hurrying to the dishwasher. Within two minutes, the place was fairly tidy.
I grabbed her hand, "Let's go"
We started ripping off each others' clothes the minute we got out the car, kissing and running at the same time. By the time we hit the bed, we were both topless and very soon naked.
I'll never forget that night.
Afterwards, we lay there in each others' arms.
"You're all mine", Lucas Scott she told me
"Glad to be" I replied and kissed her gently
