Chapter 10: Luke Hayward

He softly caressed her face, brushing his face against her soft skin. His gentle, but natural touch ran through her naked body. She felt his lean lips brush against her neck, pressing softly on her skin. He moved his wide hands around her petite waist, startling her. He slowly eased into her, while she had her legs tightly wrapped around his waist. His sweat fell like bullets from his body to hers'. She felt his breathing colliding against hers'.

"Luke," she groaned, wrapping her arms around his neck.

His rhythm of moving in her excited her insides. He then kissed her soft lips passionately, shutting his eyes alongside her. Luke eased his way out of her and slowly got off her. He fell back beside her on the bed, sweat rolling down his brawny chest. His fair skin gleamed against the moon's light. His light brown eyes sparkled and his stubs of hair on his jaw drew Brenda closer to him. Brenda leisurely pulled the blanket over her and Luke, resting her head on his chest. Luke wrapped his arms around her, keeping her close to him. Brenda heard his heart beat and felt the rising and falling of his chest. She trickled her fingers on his abs, tracing his stomach.

"I love you, Luke," confessed Brenda.

"I know, babe," answered Luke. "It feels like you've been mentioning it to me these past days I've been here."

Luke let out a cute chuckle that tickled Brenda's heart.

"I know," murmured Brenda. "It just feels like I don't say it too much, yeah know…especially to you."

Brenda exhaled and muttered, "I just don't want you to think I don't love you anymore."

"Why would I ever think that?" asked Luke, confused.

Guilt ran throughout Brenda's system, filling her thoughts and conscience.

"Luke?" she called.

"Yeah," he answered her.

"Relationships are about loving one another and forgiving each other, right?" asked Brenda, her voice breaking apart. "…and being honest with one another?"

"Yeah," said Luke. "That's why I love you – because you are the most honest, loving and forgiving person I ever met. That's why you're the best decision I ever made."

He kissed her forehead.

"Luke," she breathed. "I have to tell you something."

"What is it?" asked Luke calmly.

"While I was here," she began, holding back her tears. "I – I did something with someone."

"What are you talking about?" asked Luke.

"I," she muttered. "I – I – I slept with Dylan."

Hearing those words slip out of his fiancé's mouth stabbed him in his heart. He shut his eyes but didn't move. He felt Brenda's tears touch his skin. She felt his hands squeeze her a little bit. Luke held his breath but stayed calm. He finally exhaled and said, "I – I don't know where to begin."

"I'm so sorry, Luke," apologized Brenda. "You're my fiancé and you deserve better than what I did behind your back. You have every right to yell at me and get mad I don't blame you."

Luke stayed calm and glared back at her as she sat up saying, "I could never yell at you, Brenda. Nor get mad at you. That's not the type of person I am."

Brenda wept before him and saw compassion in his heart. She felt so unworthy to have his engagement ring on her finger. She felt so bad – but for some reason, something whispered in her heart that Dylan was the one for her. But it couldn't be, because she was with Luke and not with Dylan.

"How could you be so nice to me, Luke?" wept Brenda. "How can you have such a forgiving heart?"

Luke reached for her face with his hand. Brenda held on to his arm while she rested her hand in the palm of his hand.

"Because I love you enough to forgive you," he explained. "You're the one who even said it – a relationship is about forgiving one another."

She wept harder and tried to hold her composure.

"Thank you," she cried.

"For what?" asked Luke.

"For loving me no matter what I do," she explained. "For always looking for the good in me and for just always being there to catch me when I'm up so high from the ground I can't see below me."

"I'd do anything for you, Brenda," confessed Luke, kissing her forehead. "I just hope that someday you'll understand how much I'll do for you."

Brenda smiled and hid herself in his strong, muscular arms.

Kelly casually leaned back on her chair while Tommy ate his mega burger and Brandon paced back and forth in front of them.

"Honey, why don't you take a seat?" suggested Kelly, getting annoyed by his walking.

"I don't know why they're not here yet," complained Brandon, checking his phone. "This is just like Brenda, showing up late for everything! I mean, who the heck does she think she is? She makes plans and she can't even follow up to it! Same old Brenda!"

"Brandon," muttered Kelly.

"…and I don't really care who this guy is," continued Brandon. "I mean I do because she's my sister and all but I also have a pregnant wife and a son who probably doesn't want to spend New Year's Eve sitting in The Peach Pit for almost an hour now…"

"Brandon," said Kelly once more.

"…I mean – it's just like Brenda," continued Brandon, suddenly attracting people towards him. "She always does this! Doesn't she know you're pregnant?"

"Brandon!" shrieked Kelly, silencing him. "You're yelling is making everything else worse for me! Please, take a seat and I'm sure they're going to walk in those doors anytime now."

Brandon cooled off and took a seat next to his son.

"Brenda sounded pretty serious on the phone," whispered Kelly. "What do you think she's planning to tell us?"

"You know what else is serious?" asked Brandon.

"What?" asked Kelly.

"You," he added. "Now I seriously think you should be in bed right now –"

"Brandon!" she said aloud again. "Will you please just stop worrying about me for like, two seconds? I'm fine."

"Okay," said Brandon, exhaling. "I'm sorry. I have been a monster haven't I?"

"Just a little," muttered Kelly, pinching his nose.

Brandon sighed and looked down. Kelly kissed his lips and backed away.

"But a cute monster," she chuckled.

"Mommy!" called out Tommy. "I need to use the restroom?"

"Sure," she said.

Kelly gave Brandon a stern look as he said nothing.

"What?" asked Brandon. "Let him go to the restroom."

"Did you not hear what happened to Maddie?" argued Kelly. "That's right, go with him Brandon."

Brandon sighed and said, "Alright now, we'll be back soon. I'll tell Nat to keep an eye on you."

"Okay, okay, you two have fun," she said quickly.

She watched as Brandon and Tommy left her sight. A few moments later, the doors of The Peach Pit opened and Brenda came strutting in. She caught Kelly's eyes and a smile appeared on her face. Brenda quickly made her way towards them.

"Brenda!" called Kelly.

"Hi!" said Brenda, happily.

Kelly got up and hugged Brenda. Brenda and Kelly both sat back down.

"So good to see you again," said Kelly.

"I know," agreed Brenda. "Where's Brandon and Tommy?"

"They went to go to the little boy's room," answered Kelly. "Anyways, what's the big news?"

"Well," said Brenda anxiously. "I was going to wait to tell you and Brandon at the same time, but I can't hold it in anymore! I'm engaged!"

Brenda threw her hand before Kelly and showed off her ring to her.

"Isn't it beautiful?" asked Brenda, a wide smile on her face.

Kelly quickly snatched Brenda's hand and studied the rock.

"Oh my God this is amazing!" she happily said. "I can't believe it! You're engaged! Oh my God!"

"I know right!" said Brenda.

"I have to help you with everything!" began Kelly, holding her tummy. "I want to help get your dress, plan the reception, plan everything – wait, who's the guy anyways?"

"His name's Luke," said Brenda. "Luke Hayward. We met in London and we've been engaged for almost three years! Isn't this great?"

"Yeah, it is!" agreed Kelly. "Where is he by the way?"

"I don't know," said Brenda. "He should be here soon?"

"Arriving in two separate vehicles?" asked Kelly worried.

"No," laughed Brenda. "He's outside."

Kelly caught her breath and grabbed Brenda's attention and said, "Does Dylan know?"

"Yeah," muttered Brenda.

"How's he taking it?" asked Kelly.

"I don't know and I don't care," answered Brenda. "Luke's a really good guy. He's the one for me Kelly. I love him and I plan on getting married with him with or without Dylan's approval."

"That's great Brenda," said Kelly.

"Yeah," murmured Brenda. "And I want you to be my maid of honor."

Kelly held back the tears and smiled.

"We've been through a lot, Kel," said Brenda. "And you've always been there for me. I want you to be up there to experience my day with me!"

Kelly smiled and embraced Brenda again.

"Now you're making me cry!" laughed Brenda, fanning her eyes with her hands. "What's your news? You told me you had to tell me something important, too?"

Kelly hesitated to tell her and quickly said, "It was nothing important. Besides, we have a wedding to plan!"

Kelly and Brenda heard the bells of The Peach Pit ring as the doors opened.

"Brenda," muttered Kelly. "You're six o'clock, tall and handsome with a leather jacket checking you out."

Brenda turned around and laughed.

"That's him Kel," she said, smiling.

Kelly's jaw dropped as she watched him smoothly make his way towards them. He kissed Brenda on her forehead and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Kelly Taylor this is Luke Hayward," introduced Brenda. "Luke this is my best friend and Kelly this is my fiancé."

"Brenda has said many things about you, Kelly," said Luke.

"Better be good things," laughed Kelly.

The three of them laughed.

"This guy is a hunk," whispered Kelly, leaning close to Brenda.

"I know," muttered Brenda, watching Luke take off his jacket.

"So Luke," said Kelly. "Tell me a little about yourself."

Luke smiled and said, "Well I was born in London but I grew up here in America. My dad is in London and my mother past away four years ago. My mother would've loved Brenda, though. Brenda is everything my mother looked for in a girl…strong and caring. I went to Beverly Hills high school and graduated college at Kensington College of Business in London. That's how I met Brenda actually. My class went on a tour to play houses and learned how they kept the building financially going and Brenda happened to be there. I knew she was the one as soon as I saw her perform on the stage."

"The funny thing is that his father was my director and he happened to go to one of the plays I did!" said Brenda.

"From then on everything just fell into place," he muttered, looking at Brenda.

Kelly looked back and forth at Brenda and Luke and smiled.

"Where is Brandon?" complained Kelly. "I'm starting to miss my husband! Oh, there he is! Brandon! Come here!"

Brandon carried Tommy in his arms as he walked over towards their table.

"Brandon," said Brenda. "This is Luke, my fiancé. Luke, this is my brother and Kelly's husband, Brandon."

Luke turned around to face Brandon. Brandon, immediately recognizing who this person was, lost his smile across his face.

"Nice to meet you," said Brandon, extending his hand.

"Have we met before?" asked Luke. "Remember, LA – 2004?"

"Yeah," said Brandon, his memory kicking in. "Luke Hayward? How you been man?"

Brandon kept his voice serious.

"I've been good," Luke said.

"Great," said Brenda. "Since we all know each other, let's order some food!"

While they ate, Brenda took the time to put her utensils down and leaned closer to Luke.

"We have something to tell you guys," said Brenda.

"What?" asked Brandon.

"We're engaged!" answered Brenda, showing her ring. "And we're going to get married in London where Luke was born. It's going to be in a small garden – you'll love it, Kelly, as soon as you see it! I promise you!"

"Can't wait to see it all happen!" said Kelly happily.

Brandon's face was petrified. But Brenda could care less for she was too happy and in the moment.

"How about it Brandon?" said Brenda.

"I – I think it's great idea," said Brandon.

Brandon gritted his teeth as he watched Brenda and Luke exchange kisses.

Tommy ran up the stairs as soon as they got home. Brandon helped Kelly take off her coat and led her safely to the living room where she rested.

"Do you want some water, Kel?" asked Brandon, getting up.

"Brandon," she called. "Can we talk?"

Brandon sighed and sat down beside her. She reached for his hands and held them close to her heart.

"I'm sorry," she confessed. "I'm sorry for everything –"

Brandon shut his eyes and interrupted her saying, "No Kel – I should be the one apologizing to you. My reaction to everything these past couple of days has just been unacceptable. I promise you, I will make this up to you after our baby girl has been born."

Kelly held back her tears and kissed his cheek.

Brandon and Dylan spent the rest of the afternoon outside fixing the car David crashed.

"Can you believe it?" asked Brandon. "Bren is finally getting married."

Dylan sighed and said, "I know – unbelievable…and the worst thing about everything is that it's Luke Hayward she's marrying."

"I don't trust that guy," muttered Brandon.

"Same here, B," said Dylan.

"There's just something about him that doesn't look good," added Brandon. "Last time I hung out with Luke Hayward was when we were all in college. Let me tell you something Dylan, I personally did not like Luke at all. His attitude and behavior just agitated me. What should make me believe that he's changed after all these years?"

"There's one thing that changed mine," said Dylan.

"What's that?" asked Brandon.

"He's marrying your sister," added Dylan, looking at Brandon. "Brenda would never marry a fool and maybe he has changed."

"I hope so," said Brandon. "I hope we're making the right decision by giving him our benefit of the doubt."

"Let's see how this wedding goes," said Dylan.

Maddie lay between her father and mother on their bed, watching their family movie. Steve and Janet had been itching to ask Maddie what had happened that day. Steve looked at Janet and he reached for the remote to pause the movie.

"Baby," said Janet softly. "Can we talk for a little while?"

"Sure," said Maddie, looking up at her parents.

"You see," said Steve. "You're mom and I want to know what really happened the day those two big mean guys took you away from us?"

"It was scary," muttered Maddie.

"I know it was baby," said Janet, brushing her daughter's hair back. "That's why we want to catch these bad guys and lock them up for good."

"Can you remember how they looked like?" asked Steve.

Maddie fiddled with her fingers and made a thinking face.

"It's okay if you don't remember Maddie," said Steve.

"No, I do – Daddy," said Maddie. "One was tall and one was a little short."

Steve passed Janet a pen and paper to take notes for the detectives.

"Mommy is just going to write down what you say so she can give it to the police," said Steve. "Just continue."

"Okay," said Maddie. "They had white skin, but they were stinky. The tall one had a drawing around his neck and the shorter one had a gold ring on his middle finger."

"Drawing?" asked Steve.

"Tattoo, Steve," mouth Janet.

"They told me that Mommy wrote something bad about them on her article and that they were going to take revenge on her by taking me," explained Madeline.

Janet quickly dropped her pen and paper and rushed through her piles of old newspapers. She grabbed the current articles and looked for hers.

"Jason and Ed Hartman!" called out Janet. "Twin brothers who robbed a gas station in Beverly Hills and murdered their parents. I was only writing about them because it was my job."

"It's okay, Janet," said Steve. "We'll call the police and let them know now."

Luke laughed quietly to himself as he felt Brenda's head drop onto his lap. He carefully moved away and laid her down on the couch. He turned off the movie they were watching and covered her with a blanket. He kissed her forehead and smiled. He had never seen anything so perfect in his life before. RING! RING! RING! He quickly answered his phone and moved away from Brenda.

"Luke!" yelled a raspy voice! "We're in trouble! The police are on our asses! Where are you! We need your help!"

"Hold up, hold up Ed," whispered Luke. "What are you talking about? And I'm with my fiancé at my beach house in Beverly Hills."

"I'm talking about we kidnapped some kid and now the police is on our asses!" explained Ed. "We're on our way over there right now!"

Ed hung up the phone on Luke. Luke took a deep breath and turned his head around and gazed at Brenda. Mixed emotions ran inside his head and panicked.
