10: Funny Little Feeling

A couple of hours before Dean Winchester publicly proposed to his girlfriend, Brooke Davis, in front of his father's guests at their Charity Ball, I had the chance to talk to the now famous couple. Many of you, my dear readers, probably see Dean Winchester as a notorious party boy; I also looked at him that way. But when I talked to him during the Charity Ball, I saw the different side of him. When the news broke out about Dean having a 'real relationship', we all wondered why, when, and how he met the beautiful brunette.

Well, here's the scoop: Dean and Brooke had been friends since they were in their pre-teens; their families were good friends with each other. Their bond became stronger as the years passed, especially when Dean's then-girlfriend, Alice Welsh, died.

"Brooke was there for me when Alice's accident happened. She never left. She was just there for me all the time," Dean said when asked about how Brooke helped him cope with the loss of Ms. Welsh.

On the other hand, when I asked Brooke of what she thinks about Dean's party boy image, she honestly said, "Dean's been through a lot, and everybody has weak moments every now and then. I guess that's just the way he wants to cope with what he'd gone through."

Aside from being there for Dean through thick and thin, Brooke had also accomplished one thing: she put a period on Dean's womanizing. Since their relationship became official, Dean slowly changed from being a womanizer to a stick-to-one stud, thanks to the beautiful brunette.

Indeed, Dean and Brooke have a deep relationship, contrary to what others believe that Brooke would be just an addition to Dean's long list of victims. For the full coverage of Dean's proposal to Brooke, see page 23.

The news of Dean and Brooke's engagement broke three days ago, and since then Brooke started working with wedding planners. Although their marriage is two months away, John and Ellen wanted to finish planning early. As usual, Dean was always nowhere to be found every time he was needed. So Brooke did most of the planning with a little help from Ellen.

John and Ellen were the ones who decided where the wedding will take place, and they agreed on The Plaza Hotel. John wanted publicity, and the wedding planner told them that it was the perfect place. When Dean and Brooke found out about it, they almost fainted.

Dean didn't want to do anything related to his wedding as much as possible, so he always goes out whenever they have appointments with the planners. He spent most of his time, as always, drinking and road tripping. The only thing he couldn't dodge was the media. Since his very public proposal to Brooke three days ago, all the reporters had been able to do was call him and ask him tons of questions.

But to his dismay, he was 'grounded' for the whole weekend now; he was supposed to stay in the house because Brooke's family and friends were coming and will stay there for the weekend. John kept reminding him to act like a gentleman, but why would he do that? He was already known for being a wild boy.

That was how he ended up being in the bathroom, taking a shower at 8 in the morning. When he was done and got out of the bathroom, Brooke was sitting in front of the newly placed vanity in his – their – room. She was tying her hair in a neat ponytail, and Dean didn't want to admit that she looked absolutely dashing in her yellow summer dress; it was perfect for her flawless skin and dark hair.

Brooke looked spirited today; it was obvious that she was excited to see her family and friends again. She saw Dean's image at her mirror; the only thing on him was a towel wrapped around his waist down to his knee. Brooke couldn't resist the urge to look at his perfectly toned body.

A car then approached the driveway, and Brooke instantly knew who it was. She jumped out of her chair and was immediately out of the room. Dean smiled as he watched her become so cheery the moment she heard her parents' car. He donned his usual ensemble – a pair of worn out jeans and a simple shirt – and went down the stairs.

This was Dean's second time to see Brooke's family. Richard Davis was probably the same age as his Dad, and there was something about the man that made Dean respect him the instant he saw him when he went to Tree Hill a month ago, while Victoria Davis still looked like a stuck-up.

"It's nice to see you again, Dean," Richard Davis greeted.

Dean tried to smile – not smirk – and walked towards Richard to shake his hand. "You too, Mr. Davis."

Everyone in the Winchester family was surprised to hear Dean talk like that. John was, if not surprised, relieved.

"Oh, just call me Richard," Richard said.

Dean smiled and then nodded. Brooke grabbed his hand and pulled him closer to her.

"You already know my friends, right?" Brooke said with a huge smile on her face.

Dean nodded towards Haley and Peyton but barely looked at Lucas. Brooke then introduced Sam and Jo to her Tree Hill friends. She was obviously ecstatic; one would think that she's had too much sugar or something.

"Let's go to the pool," she said with her dimpled smile and motioned for her friends to follow her as well. Brooke grabbed Dean's hand and pulled him out to the backyard.

Out of the corner of his eye, Dean saw the jealousy in Lucas' eyes when Brooke held his hand.

-----

"Where are the girls?" Lucas Scott asked awkwardly as he sat down on a bench at the gazebo. The girls left about half an hour ago, so he had no other choice but to stick with Dean and Sam Winchester.

Sam took out a couple of cue sticks from a cabinet and uncovered the pool table. "They'll be here any minute." He handed Lucas one of the cues. "Let's play pool."

While his brother and Brooke's ex played pool, Dean opted to lounge at one of the benches and read a magazine. A couple of minutes later, the girls came out of the house wearing robes; they were obviously going to take a swim.

Dean couldn't help but grin when Brooke took off her robe; her pink bikini looked good on her. It felt weird, but during the whole afternoon, Dean kept taking secret glances towards Brooke while she was playing around with the other girls in the pool. It disturbed him, but liked it at the same time.

-----

Most of the day passed by quickly; Brooke and the rest of her Tree Hill friends spent the whole afternoon talking about the latest stuff in Tree Hill, while Dean and Sam played pool – which was very surprising for Sam, because it had been a long time since he and Dean played something together. After the dinner, Brooke went straight to her bedroom while her friends decided to unpack their things. Surprisingly though, Lucas followed her to her room.

"Can I talk to you?" Lucas asked.

Brooke patted the bed and motioned for Lucas to sit beside her. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing, I just miss you." Lucas held Brooke's hand and planted a gentle kiss on it. He couldn't hide the longing he felt anymore. He closed in on the gap between the two of them and kissed Brooke.

Right then, Dean entered the room and got shocked with what he saw. He cleared his throat as loud as he could.

Brooke saw her fiancé and pulled away from Lucas the moment Dean cleared his voice.

"Get out," Dean told Lucas with a firm tone.

Lucas shot Brooke a sorry glance and then walked out of the room, all the while avoiding Dean's watchful eyes. When Lucas was out of the room, he slammed the door shut and glared at Brooke.

"What the hell were you thinking?"

Brooke stood up. "I…I didn't know he was going to kiss me."

"Oh really?" Dean folded his arms across his broad chest.

Brooke suddenly laughed, which made Dean frown. "You're jealous," Brooke said playfully, but she didn't mean it.

Since that afternoon, Dean felt really weird; he wasn't being a jerk, and he kept on watching Brooke. It grew worse when he caught Lucas kissing Brooke. Something was wrong, but he felt good. He hasn't felt this way for a long time now. He asked himself, Am I really jealous?

Without thinking, he leaned closer to Brooke and kissed her. Brooke tried to push him off, but Dean was so much stronger. As he moved from her lips to her neck, she gave in and started kissing him back. She was surprised to find herself enjoying it. The feeling of Brooke's lips on his lips made Dean shiver in a good way.

Realizing what he was doing, Dean stopped and pulled away from her. The first thing that came to his mind was how stupid he was.

"What was that?" Brooke glared at him.

Dean didn't move for a second and then it was like something had stung him and within seconds, he was out of the room. Brooke felt like screaming. This was the first time he kissed her in private and the first time he kissed her like that.

What the hell was he doing?

----

Brooke woke up the next morning when she heard girls laughing somewhere downstairs. She didn't move at first; she didn't feel like getting up now. She closed her eyes and memories of what happened between her and Dean last night flashed in her mind. Then it hit her; Dean didn't come home since he rushed out of their room last night.

After spending the next thirty minutes lying on the bed, she got up and took a bath. The warm water helped her clear her head and shrug off Dean's unusual actions the day before. She donned a simple pair of short jeans and a green blouse.

As she got down the stairs, she saw Jo talking to Peyton and Haley at the living room.

"Hey girls," Brooke greeted with her dimpled smile.

"We were just talking about you," Peyton said as Brooke sat beside Jo. "Jo asked us to tell stories about you."

Brooke chuckled. "What did you tell her?"

"We told her some of your most embarrassing moments." Peyton winked at the brunette.

Brooke gasped playfully and threw a pillow towards the curly blonde.

Just when the girls were about to have a pillow fight, Lucas walked into the room. Haley then cleared her throat.

"I have something to tell you guys."

Both her best friends turned to looked at her, as well as Lucas and Jo.

Haley bit her lower lip as her cheeks blushed. "Nate and I are going to be parents."

Brooke's eyes widened. "Oh my god!"

"That's great Hales," Peyton mused. "When did you find out?"

"Last week," Haley said as she smiled from ear to ear; she and her husband Nathan Scott had been waiting for this miracle. "I'm two months along."

Brooke and Peyton jumped out of the couch to give their best friend a hug.

"I'm so happy for you, Hales," Lucas said.

Right then, Dean entered the house. He was about to go straight ahead to his room to have some rest, but when he passed by the living room and saw Brooke and her friends, a thought came into his mind. He walked towards them and gently pulled Brooke from her friends to wrap his arm around her waist.

"Hi there babe," he said as he planted a kiss on her cheek.

Brooke was, if not surprised, dumbfounded. Since when did Dean call her 'babe'? "Hi…Dean," she replied awkwardly.

Lucas looked away; he couldn't watch Dean get all lovey-dovey with Brooke. Among Brooke's friends, he was the only one who knew about the real deal between Dean and Brooke, so he knew that Dean was just trying to put up an act.

"Brooke, can you come with me upstairs?" Dean asked with his glorious smile; no one could resist that smile of his.

The brunette creased her brows but nodded anyway. "I'll be back in a minute," she told her friends.

Dean took Brooke's hand as the two of them went out of the living room. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lucas; he looked absolutely jealous. Dean grinned to himself as he told himself that his little plan worked. Lucas Scott got jealous of him.

-----

"What was that all about?" Brooke asked when the two of them got inside their room.

Dean shrugged as he took off his jacket. "I was just trying to look nice in front of your friends."

Brooke rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Anyway, why didn't you come home last night?"

"You probably already know the answer to your question."

"When will you stop drinking?" Brooke asked as she sat beside Dean on the bed. "If this arrangement won't even stop you from drinking, tell me now. That way I can back out of this right away."

Dean didn't know what to say; he was caught off-guard by Brooke's tone. She sounded so serious.

Just when he was about to change the topic, Jo knocked and poked her head through the door. "The wedding designer's here."

-----

As Dean watched Brooke laugh and smile and twirl around wearing the dresses the designer brought, he couldn't help but feel something awkward. What the heck was happening to him?

"She looks good, eh?" Ellen asked as she stood beside her stepson by the doorframe.

Dean scoffed and shoved his hands into his pockets. "Yeah; she's one bubbly girl."

A small smile escaped Ellen's lips. Somehow, she knew that there was something going on, and she hoped that it was for the good of the arrangement. She cleared her throat and patted Dean's arm. "Go get your brother. It'll be your turn to choose what to wear after the girls are done."

Dean sighed and then nodded. He turned to look at Brooke again, who was still laughing with her friends, and there was something in her eyes that made him smile genuinely. Unexpectedly, Brooke looked at him. The two of them stared at each other for a moment, and Dean swore he felt something inside him spark when Brooke smiled at him.
