Hey Guys, I am so sorry that it has taken me this long to upload. My internet has been playing up and work had been tiring and life in general is sucking at the moment.

I love all your review.

It will take me a little longer to upload from now on because I now have to continue writing the chapters as I have no more already written lol anyway I hope everyone has had a good weekend. I'm knackered lol.

Anyway ENJOY!

I push the double doors to the bar open. The girls and I walk over to a free booth and claim it. I scoot into the booth and take my seat. I shimmy my jacket off my shoulder and place it under the table over my bag. I scanned the room, but saw none of the guys that I owed a drink too yet.

"I'll buy the first round" Rachel says standing by the table. Peyton and I nod as she walks towards the bar with Haley.

"You scanning the crowd for the pretty blond guy?" Peyton asks looking at me.

I shake my head "nah just the guys I owe a drink too" she nods and points to a bunch of guys at the bar.

"They keep looking over here, is that them over there?" I follow her finger and see the guys from the game. I flash a smile at them and move out of the booth.

"I'll be back" Peyton nods and I walk over to the guys "Hey, who wants a drink?" they all cheered and I laughed calling at the bartender. He came over "whatever these are drinking please" they all shout there orders to the dude and I pay him "so you're Kieran right?" I ask the black haired green eyed guy staring up at me from the barstool he was currently sitting on. He nods and I flash him a smile and place my hand on his shoulder "you think I'm too hot to shoot?" his cheeks flush a light red colour and his eyes darted to his shoes "thank you for not shooting me" I lean in and kiss his cheek. I call the bartender over again "one more round for these guys" he nods and I pay him "have a good night boys" I wave them a bye and turn on my heel to lock eyes with Lucas.

He stared back at me for a moment and then his eyes darted to the floor like he was thinking about something and then he looked back up at me. He raised his hand and gave me a small wave before turning around and heading back to our table.

"Did you manage to get them drinks?" Peyton asked as I reach the table and slide in beside Rachel.

"Er..." I glance over my shoulder at the guys drinking having fun and then glance up at Lucas "yeah two rounds, the price I pay for kicking Lucas's ass" Lucas said nothing he just stood beside Nathan staring down at his beer.

"You okay mate?" Nathan asks him. Lucas just nodded and then downed his beer.

"Nate come sit with me" Haley calls over

getting Nathan's attention "I need some TLC" she gave a wink and I didn't realise Haley James was this confident. I smiled at that and then saw Jake and Peyton making googly eyes at each other. It was cute.

"Hey Jake you can take my seat" I scooted out of the booth and Jake took my place thanking me as we passed each other. I waves it off and saw Rachel over the other side of the room, I have no idea how she got over there without us seeing her. Anyway she was talking to a tallish brunette guy that had a little guff around his mouth making him look super hot.

And then we hear Lucas say "I'm gonna go get another" as he walked to the bar. I excuse myself from the group and follow Lucas to the bar. I leaned on the bar next to him in silence for a moment. Just being close to him was setting my skin on fire.

I urged to touch him, but he was mad or maybe just upset. I glance over at him and his fingers were tapping the bar as he waited for the bartender to order his drink "Lucas" my voice was soft and it made him jump just a little, he must not have seen me join him.

Lucas turns and looks at me "hi" were the only words that came out his mouth.

"What's wrong?" it wasn't a question I wanted to ask, but it's a question I needed to ask. I've liked spending my time with him and I really don't want to be in a awkward surrounding with him.

"Nothing" he finally answers after what felt like years. He then turned to me and moved a piece of hair from my eyes "you're very pretty Brooke" I smile and shiver under his touch "what are we doing here?" his question made my head spin.

His hand then went and traced my face and down my neck and over my shoulder and down my arm then to my hand and he traced each finger with his. His touch was making my body burn with affection. I looked up at him through my fringe and our eyes connected and I swear it was like nothing else mattered or like the whole world stopped and it was just the two of us in it right now.

I don't know how I managed it, but my feet moved forward and I was closer to him. The kiss we shared yesterday was amazing it set of fire works and church bells rang and right now I'd give anything to feel his lips on mine right now.

"What do you mean?" I finally speak once I find my voice.

Lucas smiles and leans in touching my cheek. A shiver runs down my spine again. I wasn't sure if our table was watching us, but right now I didn't care. I haven't felt this much for anyone since well since when I was back home.

"we don't have to label it if you don't want to Brooke" he then kisses my cheek sending fire through my body "I like spending time with you" my cheeks flushed and I couldn't help, but look into his eyes "it's your call pretty girl" the bartender came over and Lucas ordered leaving me with my thoughts.

"Nathan stop" I heard once I walked back to the table. Haley was giggling and Nathan was kissing her cheek "Naaaathan"

"Okay you both need to get a room" I suggest rolling my eyes.

Haley blushed and Nathan sat up "so where's Luke?" I turned around and realised he wasn't standing at the bar anymore. When did he go?

"Erm... He was just at the bar" I raised my eye brow confused.

"You and Lucas looked pretty cosy up there" Peyton says to me when I take a seat next to her.

"Yeah, we eh... I think we're getting closer" the girls grasped and moved in closer.

"Details?" Haley says with a smile attached to her lips. Jake excused him self as did Nathan. I guess they didn't like girl talk.

"We hung out, we talked, we feel asleep and I feel things towards him. It's not a big deal" I wasn't sure who I was trying to convince, but it was obvious I didn't convince the girls.

"But it really is" Rachel says. I didn't realise she joined us again. Haley nodded agreeing with Rachel "since high school Lucas has been the slut of Tree Hill where we are from"

"Did you know about Isabella?" Rachel looks to the table and so does Haley answering my question without using words "so then you know why Lucas became the town slut in the first place. Everyone deserves second chances"

"Who's Isabella?" Peyton asks with a confused look on her face.

"Is Lucas back yet?" Jake asks

"I'm back" all eyes turn to the blond "just had to take a call that's all"

"well now your back let's go drink?" All three head to the bar.

My eyes followed them and I saw Lucas turn back to glance at me. Our eyes connected for a moment and a small smile creeped on his lips. I give a smile back.

And then I turn back to the girls "Lucas is different when his with me and I don't know what it means between us yet. I don't know if I'm ready for the next step with him, but I do know Lucas Scott isn't the guy everyone assumes he is" no one said anything and I thought back to my feelings and I got scared. I am scared, but my heart is yelling at me to try again. Telling me that love for me has second chances too "Oh and Peyton she's Lucas's ex girlfriend"

We stayed at the bar for a few hours more and then Haley left with Nathan and Rachel left with the guy she was talking to earlier his name being Owen. Lucas then said his goodbyes to Jake and Peyton and gave me a smile as he turned around to walk away. I knew what I wanted. I knew what I needed and that was him. I wanted Lucas.

I excused myself from Jake and Peyton and slide out of the booth "Lucas wait" I call out. He doesn't hear me so I call out again hoping he'd stop and he does. He turns around "hi"

"Hi Pretty Girl"

"I've made a decision Lucas" I needed to get it out now before I buckle under the pressure and all the feelings I'm feeling. My legs felt like jelly and my stomach threatened to bring up all that I've eaten today.

"A decision butterfly?" he goes back to the nickname he gave me when he saw my tattoo and before he started with Pretty Girl.

I slowly nod "I want this. Us. You and me" I say stepping closer I entwine our fingers feeling a shiver run down my back "I like you Lucas"

He smiles and uses his free hand to trace my face cupping my cheek in his hand. He leans in and kisses the side of my mouth making my body go all hot over. He really is something else.

"I really like you too Brooke" and then our lips connected and I thought I was floating on clouds as Lucas wrapped me in his arms and lifted me from the floor with our lips still connected. Fireworks and church bells and doves flying. I could see it all when Lucas kissed me and my heart melted at how much feelings I had for him.

REVIEW PLEASE!

Love you all millions Roch xoxo
