"So you told him?"
"Yup," Kylee tells me as I move around my apartment. "We talked later and we are good Brooke, really good," I hear the smile in her voice and love it. I'm glad she is happy.
"Good, but I'm going to jump in the shower and get ready for tonight. I'll meet you both there at nine and remember I need you to walk in a long time ahead of me," I remind her, knowing the only way to slip her in without getting in trouble is to have her go in first. By the time they notice they already let a Brooke Davis in she will be so lost in the crowd for them to find her.
"Alright B. I can't wait. I'm so excited!"
"I know but I'll see you soon. Love you, bye," I click off and walk into my bathroom. Turning the shower on steaming as I strip from my clothes and climb inside.
"Damn it," I roll my head back annoyed when I see I forgot my shampoo in the kitchen. I always do that, I always get in the shower to realize I forgot something and it's so flipping annoying. Sliding the curtain open I step out of the warm water and into the steam filled room. "Double damn it," I curse seeing I also forgot my towel.
Peering through the open door, the freezing cold air makes me shiver. I hate the cold, it is the most ridiculous thing ever, why anyone would want to be cold is beyond me. Walking into my kitchen I grab my bag from the store and search for my shampoo and conditioner. Hitting my toe into the counter I must add.
"Dude that is because you cheated," I hear my front door open with a room of laughter.
"Shit!" I curse dropping behind my counter.
"I did not cheat! You just completely suck," I hear my boyfriend's voice laugh.
"It's true Tony you aren't that great," oh fantastic Nathan and my brother are here as I hide behind a counter naked!
"I am amazing just ya'll put me with this guy," Tony says clearly annoyed and I can only guess who this guy is.
"The Tim is awesome."
"F' me!" I growl slamming my head into the wooden cabinet.
"Not that awesome," I thank the lord when I hear my best friend's voice. That is good; I can use that for my help.
"Is Brooke here?" I hear Nathan ask.
"She said to meet her here," Tony comments and I peer over the counter to see my phone on the other side. If I can get my phone I can text Rachel, tell her to get me my clothes or robe and bring it to me. I just have to get my phone without anyone seeing me.
"Dim go get us a beer," Rachel plops down on my couch and I growl.
"No Dim don't do anything in my kitchen," I growl, searching the kitchen for something, anything to hide in or hide behind.
"Alright, alright," I hear him moving and my heart racing faster in my chest. Only so many people have seen a naked me, me of course, my mom when I was a child and Lucas with the drop ins of a few people who changed my diaper but other than that no one and I'm not adding freaking Tim to that list. "Oh my holy damn!"
"Damn it!" I cringe. "Lucas!" I shriek when Tim's eyes stay wide and stuck on me, opening my fridge door and hiding behind it.
"What the hell?" I hear my boyfriend as his footsteps follow into the kitchen.
"Brooke!" Rachel's eyes widen, walking over and stepping between me and the view of the room.
"Whoa!" I see my brother walk in to walk right back out, right with Nathan. "Gross B!"
"Here," Lucas pulls his shirt off, handing it to me. "What are you doing?" he asks hiding my body between him and the door.
"I was trying to get my shampoo, I didn't expect the world in my living room," I growl, pulling his shirt on. "Stop looking at me!" I snap at Tim who is still just staring at me, his mouth hanging open.
"Tim!" Lucas snaps, "Get the hell out of here," he throws his hand out, snapping Tim back into focus.
"Right," he looks down with a small smile.
"Lucas," I turn bright red hiding my face in his body. "God I'm so embarrassed."
"It's alright baby girl," he tries I know not to laugh as he runs his hands up and down my back, my wet body, getting his shirt wet that I'm wearing.
"Brooke, how many times do I say check to see if you have everything before getting in the shower?" Rachel questions, handing over my shampoo and conditioner.
"I know I forgot."
"Do you normally just walk around naked in your house?" she kinks a brow as Lucas laughs.
"Stop it!" I push him back, slapping his chest. "It's not funny! God it's not funny," my eyes tear up shoving passed him towards my bathroom.
"Brooke, come on, I'm sorry," he apologizes following me.
"Yeah right, now your brother and your friend have seen your girlfriend naked!" I storm towards the bathroom.
"I didn't see anything B," Nathan tells me as I pass him on the way to my bathroom.
"I did!" Tim chimes in.
"Ugh!" I growl slamming the door, hearing the small groan of my boyfriend on the other side. Great just great now I can't even enjoy my shower! And I love showers!
"Laughed!" Ugh I still can't believe he laughed. Makes it feel like that whole Felix thing again, how he just laughed like it was at all humorous. Does he not realize that Tim saw me naked! Tim of all freaking people. "Well," I slam my cabinet door, looking in the mirror. "Let's see how much you're going to laugh now Broody Boy," I spin on my feet, opening the door and heading back down the hall to my living room.
"B, are you in a better mood?" Tony's voice trails down the hall as I walk, a smile tugging on my lips.
"Perfect," I round the corner, finding them playing a video game.
"Oh this is great," Rachel sinks back in her chair, smiling against the rim of her beer.
"What's gre-" Nathan looks up and eyes widen, slapping his hand into his brother's arm.
"Dude I was just about to-" he looks over where Nathan is nodding, "win."
"Damn it Brooke!" Tony stands up, throwing down his controller. "You are going to cause me to want to yank my eyes out!" he storms into the kitchen, I personally laughing the whole time.
"What are we playing?" I drop down on the couch, my arm draping over the back of the couch between Tim and Lucas, playing with the hairs on the back of my boyfriend's neck.
"What are you doing?" Lucas asks, staring at me.
"Watching you play," I give an innocent smile and shrug. "I mean aren't you playing," I tilt my head to the side to look at him.
"What are you playing?" he runs his eye over my body, covered in just my white and black laced bra and panties, I mean it covers up just as much as a bathing suit so I don't see the big deal.
"I'm not playing anything," I shrug, curling my arm up and resting my head against my fist. "Just sitting here," I tell him his eyes narrowing on me. "Tim do you care if I'm sitting here?" I spin around to look at him.
"You're fine," his eyes looking a little low as I sit there, I'm almost positive there is a little drool coming out and I can't help but laugh a little. "You are extremely fine."
"You!" Lucas snaps his fingers at Tim, "Stop looking at her!" he orders, Tim snapping his head up at him, jaw slamming shut. "Better yet quit sitting so close, go…go sit over there," he points towards the other side of the room, him moving slowly over there. "And you," his finger moves at me. "Why don't you have clothes on?"
"But I do have clothes on," I look down at myself, my finger tracing over the black lace at the top. "I wear this for you all the time and you haven't complained before," I lift my eyes up at him.
"You wearing that for me and you walking around the guys like that are totally different," he defends. "This is for my eyes only, locked away where no one else is at."
"But Broody," I snuggle closer, trailing my fingers up his chest, sliding them into the front of his shirt. "Shouldn't a naked me be for your eyes only?" I tilt my head to the side looking at him.
"Point proven now please go change so I don't have to watch the looks on my brother's and Tim's face anymore," he pleads but I shake my head no.
"It's my apartment Boyfriend, what I do in it is all my business," I shrug him growling at me.
"Well for my sake will you cover up," Tony comes back into the room, beer in hand and his jacket, handing it over to me. "Because unlike Tim, Nathan, and Lucas this is not at all a turn on or fun to look at."
"This is not a turn on for me either!" Lucas says quickly looking at my brother as I pull his jacket on, covering my body more than my outfit was. "You think watching Tim have dirty thoughts about my girlfriend is a turn on?"
"I'm not having dirty thoughts," he objects and we all give him a yeah right look as he becomes quiet, falling back in the chair.
"Oh please," I pull my hair from being trapped in the hood. "I could be in a parka and turn you on."
"Oh whatever," he rolls his eyes, reaching back for his controller, seeming over the whole talk now that I'm covered.
"Oh whatever my ass," Rachel chimes in, laying her legs in Tony's lap. "She was sitting there trying to piss you off and you got turned on. You didn't care that I was here, Nate and Tim hell you didn't care Tony was in the other room. Face it Lucas, Brooke can turn you on with a look," she smirks and I laugh as Lucas growls.
"Is that true?" I lift my head to look at him, my breath brushing across his jaw. "Can just a look from me turn you on?" I nuzzle my head in his neck, biting on the skin, him growling at me again. "Oh sweetie I'm so sorry," I push my bottom lip out, getting a laugh from my red headed friend.
"Shut up, it's not true," he groans, jerking his body away from me.
"It's a little true," Nathan chuckles, restarting his game. "But it's ok, Hales does the same to me."
"Well that's because your whipped, nothing like that is effective to me. I can turn Brooke on a lot quicker then she could ever do it to me."
"Oh is that so?" I pull of his chest to look at him.
"Very much," he nods, stretching his arms over his head.
"I bet you I can make you cave before me," I smirk.
"Are you serious?" he squints in that adorable way I just love and I nod. "Ok," he moves on the couch to look at me. "A bet, whoever caves first loses and has too…" he trails off thinking.
"Loser has to give up their apartment," Rachel jumps in and Lucas and my head both snap over to her.
"What?"
"It's not like you two aren't together all the damn time anyway. Why you two don't move in together none of us can figure out," she flips her hair over her shoulder.
"Is that what you want to bet?" Lucas questions and I see how he is a little nervous by that. I personally love my apartment, I love how I have it set up and I love that it's just mine. That if I'm annoyed or tired or wanting to be alone I can lock myself away and from the world. Yes of course I let Lucas lock himself away with me most the time but I do like having my own place. Living together has really never been something that was discussed. I just figured when I was done with school and if we got married we would get a place together but even wanting to get married I don't want it to be within the year. I want the option on the table but I don't want it rushed until my life takes off and that means finishing school.
"Umm…yeah," I fiddle with my earlobe and he nods.
"Ok," he leans back on the sofa, still not positive on it because I know he likes his own place too. Plus where it's located it works better with his work and mine works better with my school. "So I guess whoever caves must move in and give up their apartment."
"Well there has to be rules," Nathan jumps in.
"Like?" I raise my brow.
"Well I mean what classifies as caving?" he shrugs, Tony focusing on the screen clearly not wanting to add into the conversation.
"Well if anything of his enters anything of hers that is clearly caving," Rachel joins back in and Tony lets out a noise of disgust from his throat.
"Well that's not fair," I object. "I mean if that happens it could mean he is caving."
"True but you know what I mean," she waves her hand. "Brooke I'm not worried you can have Luke begging to enter at any point," she winks and I laugh.
"Seriously?" Tony growls standing back up. "I accept she has sex but I don't want to hear it all the damn time," he groans storming back towards the kitchen. "Douche bag thinking about entering anything with my sister, gross," he mumbles on out of the room and we all laugh.
"Did he just call me a douche bag?" Lucas points his thumb over his shoulder. "Dude that is messed up!" he yells across the room.
"Dude you have sex with my sister!" he yells back. "What if someone wanted to have sex with your sister?"
"She is four!" he yells back, a look of disgust filling his voice.
"Brooke was four once," he leans over the small window that separates the kitchen and living room. "Then you," he points at him, "come along and just blah! And everyone talks about it all the time!"
"It's not my fault!" he defends himself. "I'm a guy! I like sex and I like sex with my girlfriend! Just like you like it with yours!"
"Oh god," I drop my head to his shoulder, not at all believing this conversation is happening.
"Well," Tony's irritation drops. "I understand that, but I just would appreciate that when I'm around not hearing it. It's gross."
"Ok," Lucas holds his hands up. "Now come back and play. It's your turn," he holds the controller up, Tony's heavy footsteps coming back towards his chair. "I'm sorry," Lucas mumbles when Tony sits down.
"It's ok," Tony grumbles back, clicking through the screen. "I apologize for calling you a douche bag, it was uncalled for."
"It's ok," Lucas leans back, throwing his arm over the back of my couch. "I forgive you."
"Oh my god," I growl throwing myself off the couch.
"I'm two seconds away from ending this relationship," Rachel copies my move.
"You two are sick!" we both yell as we stump down my hall to my room and slamming the door.
"Will you stop looking at her like she is murdering children," Brooke rolls her eyes as me her and the group sit at a booth in the large club. We've been here a little over an hour and Kylee is having fun, she is having a lot of fun. However that fun is being had with a guy, a guy Tony can't decide if he likes or not.
"What do we even know about this guy?" Tony questions, sipping on his beer.
"Good grades, amazing at basketball and never gets in trouble," she tells him making him growl.
"Also he is a senior," I tell him, Brooke's hand flying into my chest. "Ow what was that for?"
"Being stupid," she glares at me and I roll my eyes.
"She is too young for a senior, he is like a man, and she is a baby."
"Tony it's her seventeenth birthday," Rachel reminds him and again he growls.
"Yeah, she shouldn't even be here, she is underage."
"Well that is why you are here, to protect her but let her have fun," Brooke orders and he shakes his head.
"Whatever, I'm bored. Brookie, Hales come dance with me," Rachel puts down her jacket, taking my girlfriend's hand along with Haley's, dragging them to the dance floor.
"What is it about girls dancing together that is so hot?" Nathan watches his soon to be wife as she grinds against Brooke, Rachel behind Brooke, her hands on her hips as they move.
"It would be hot if one of the girls weren't my sister," Tony agrees somewhat, I know Brooke being thrown into the group ruining his fantasy.
"No, I think it's pretty hot either way," I watch Brooke slide down Rachel before coming back up, Haley throwing her head back laughing. "But I'm pretty sure they are teasing us."
"Oh they are definitely teasing us," Nathan agrees tilting his head to the side, a few groups of guys forming a small circle around the girls watching. "And I think the rest of the place too."
"Mmm…I love my girlfriend," Tony sips his beer, Rachel's eyes locked onto his as she moves. "But I don't love that tool," he straightens up in his chair as some guy slides closer behind Rachel. "Actually I don't even think I could like him."
"He is a little handsy," I comment, him nodding at someone around him and two more guys walking up.
"You know I promised Haley I would be very good tonight," Nathan growls slamming his drink down. "Now these jackasses are going to get me in trouble, damn it," he groans standing up.
"Did that guy just grab Brooke's ass?" I tilt my head to see my girlfriend's eyes wide, shoving some guy back and shoving her finger in his face, him just laughing. "Alright," I sit my drink down, following the guys down the steps to the girls.
"I don't care, don't touch my ass," Brooke growls, slapping his hand away from her side.
"Hey," I slide my arm over Brooke's shoulder pulling her into me. "There a problem?"
"Yo, man no problem," the guy holds his hands up stumbling back.
"Then why did my sister just tell you not to touch her ass?" Tony stands behind Rachel, her body relaxing into him.
"Hand slip," one of the other tools tries to help out but it really doesn't.
"Maybe you shouldn't have hand slips on my brother's girlfriend's ass," Nathan suggests.
"Nate come on just let it go," Haley pats his chest, never one for problems.
"Yeah, let it go," the soberest one of the group takes a step forward. "Because it was a dance man, chill out. They were out here dancing, we approached and they didn't say no."
"And I know they didn't say yes either," Tony slides his arm around Rachel's waist bringing her closer.
"Hey, what's going on?" Kylee approaches smiling, hand in Alex, who too looks confused. "Are we fighting?"
"No," I shake my head. "Just talking."
"Ok baby, let's just ignore it now," Brooke turns to look up at me. "He said sorry, we're all sorry and you've been drinking so come on," she tugs me to the side. "Come dance with me."
"But we didn't finish our dance," the drunk guy pouts and my eyes narrow.
"Is this guy serious?" I hold my hand up, thinking even drunk your sense would be better than that.
"Is this guy serious?" the sober one waves his hand at me. "I mean how can you get pissed?"
"Why are you still talking?" Nathan asks, the girls letting out a consecutive sigh.
"Because me and my boys were trying to dance with these chicks and three jackasses jump in and interrupt," he informs us. "Now I'm going to finish my dance," he grabs Rachel's arm. "Because if they are slutting around they can't be pissed."
"Hey, jackass let go of me," Rachel jerks away from him, him jerking back and Tony stepping forward with fist raised. However Mr. Tool is on the ground before he gets a chance to do anything.
"Sorry," Alex apologies. "Kinda reflex," he waves his hand at the guy grabbing his jaw on the ground, groaning.
"Dude," Tony clamps his hand on his shoulder. "I might end up liking you," he ponders the thought. "Let's go buy you a shot," he steps over the jackass on the ground, and pulls Alex with him.
"Tony he is eighteen," Brooke reminds him, him just flipping his hand around Nathan following along with the girls.
"Come on," I slip my hand in hers, pulling her deeper into the crowd of people and away from the tools. "You ok?"
"My ass is sore," she admits. "Jackass hit me hard."
"Aww…my poor baby," I rest my hands on her sore backside and bringing her close. "I'm sorry I didn't take care of him for you."
"It's ok," she sways her body with a grin.
"What are you thinking?" I see that all familiar twinkle in her eyes making me wonder.
"Just how I'm going to make you cave on this bet," she plays with a piece of my hair. "We both know Broody you will cave first."
"We do huh?" I lift my brow thinking she might be right on that a little. However I'm pretty good at making her cave on sex. I know exactly where to touch her and kiss her to make her turn to puddy in my hands.
"Yes Boyfriend," she leans up kissing the side of my neck, trailing her warm tongue up it and nipping my earlobe. "Because you love being inside me," she turns her voice extra raspy and I feel a shiver trail down my spine.
"You love me being inside you," I squeeze her body closer to me and she giggles, her breath tickling my ear.
"True," she kisses my jaw and bites it a little. "But you will still cave first," she smirks, placing her hands on my hips twisting her body as she dances up against me and very slowly and seductively slides her body down mine.
"Well that's not fair," I look down at her, feeling a tingle with the position she is in. "That's cheating," I grumble as she flips her eyes up at me and brings herself back up my body and kissing my chin.
"If you cave you get what you want," she grins and I shake my head.
"No," I push her back from me a little. "You don't touch me."
"Boyfriend…" she giggles taking a step forward.
"No," I keep my hands on her hips and keep her body from making contact with mine.
"But you love me," she pouts and I glare at her. "Come on Boyfriend tell me you love me," she whines, gripping her hands around mine.
"More then you know," I smile dropping my head down to kiss her. "But I'm not caving."
"Fine," she stomps her foot glaring at me. "But at least dance with me."
"That I can do," I slip my arms around her and pull her close.
"I hate this bet," Lucas grumbles as we lean up against a wall in the back of the club. "Why did I agree?"
"Because you think you're funny," I giggle, sucking harder on his neck. We were dancing but then I started to I guess rub a little too much and he tugged me towards the wall and shoved his tongue in my mouth.
I think its funny how he is acting. I think it's more like a mind game. I mean yes normally he is always kissing on me and touching me but I guess now knowing it's not going to lead further his mind is screwing with him and making him extra…loving.
"I am funny," he grabs my face and locks his mouth onto mine. Running his tongue under my top lip and tugging it into his mouth and biting it. I feel the moan building up in me as I take a step closer; pushing my body harder against his.
"Mmm…" I hum against his lips when his hands trail down to my backside and giving me a squeeze. "Are you caving?" I tease, pulling his bottom lip back and making him growl at me.
"No."
"You sure?" I run my hands down his chest and he nods. "You are so unfair! Why won't you just cave?" I growl and he laughs, pushing me back a step.
"Because you want me just as bad as I want you," he smirks and I glare at him. "So I know you will soon be begging for me."
"Butthead," I grumble and he laughs shaking his head as he looks around.
"Hey," he cuts his eyes up through the crowd and I look at him confused. "I didn't know Jay was back."
"What?" I flip my head around looking for my brother in the crowd.
"Yeah, I swear I just saw him," he jerks his head around trying to find him again. "Is he back in town?"
"Uhh…yeah," I nervously look for him not knowing he was coming tonight. He talked about it but said he wasn't sure. However I haven't mentioned to Lucas my talk with Aislinn and I don't want Jason mentioning her name and him wondering.
"Maybe that wasn't him," he shakes his head looking back at me. "Swore it was though. Maybe he has a twin," he shrugs and I let out an awkward laugh.
"Luke…" I scratch my ear thinking for a moment. "You think we could step outside for a minute? I need some fresh air," I tell him really needing to talk to him without the blasting of loud music in the background.
"Yeah sure," he slips his hand in mine and gives it a tug. "But no trying to get me naked," he teases and I laugh shaking my head. Lucas, weaving us through the crowd of people to the side door and stepping out, the cool air whipping in my face and sending chill bumps over me.
"It feels good out here," I run my hands over my arms.
"Yeah it feels way better than those sweaty bodies and smell of…actually I don't know what that smell is," he cringes and I laugh a little. "But what's up Pretty Girl," he circles his arms around my waist drawing me near. "What has you thinking?"
"Nothing," I shrug leaning back into him. "I just…" I look down running my finger over his arms that rests around me.
"You just what?" he rests his chin on my shoulder. "Huh?"
"Someone came to see me at the café the other day," I turn around in his arms to look at him; him seeming confused by why that matters. "Aislinn…Aislinn came to see me the other day," I clear up and his brows scrunch together.
"Why would she come by and see you?"
"I don't know. She's trying to fix her karma so she wanted to apologize," I flip my hand around that not really being what I wanted to share with him.
"Apologize?"
"Yeah, she wanted to say sorry for kissing you and all that stuff."
"Ok?"
"I know it's random but that's…ok that's not the part I want to tell you," I nervously chew my lip as he looks even more lost.
"Brooke, I don't get it. I mean ok she came by to see you to apologize, fine, great whatever. But I don't get what your tip toeing around. What did she do? She say something to upset you?"
"No, no she didn't say anything to upset me," I tell him quickly because she didn't. She was really sweet. "But why she was there Jason showed up," I tell him, not at all lessoning the confusion. "They talked and flirted and…well he asked her out."
"Why would he do that?" he pulls back from me. "Why would you let him do that?"
"I don't have control over either of them Lucas. They are both grownups. Plus why does it matter?" I ask a little irritated by the reaction I got from him. Why is he getting mad?
"Why does it matter? Brooke she is my ex girlfriend," he informs me like I'm not at all aware of that.
"Yes your ex," I repeat and he lets out a laugh shaking his head. "If she is your ex, your past why does it matter?" I ask thinking it shouldn't at all. "Why do you care who she dates? If you are over her then it shouldn't matter!"
"Wow," he lets out a bitter laugh. "Brooke, I love you. You know I love you so don't give me that shit."
"Well from the reaction I'm getting what do you want me to think?"
"I'm thinking you should think, 'hey here's my boyfriend's ex, an ex that at one point pissed me off so maybe…just maybe I don't want her dating my brother!' If she is dating Jason, Brooke you will see her regularly, I will see her regularly and I don't want to see her all the time!"
"Why? You were all fine seeing her when we were broken up so why does it matter now?"
"Ok Brooke let's try to approach this differently," he claps his hands together and turns into that almost parent speaking to their child mode and I want to slap him. I hate when he does this. "We are broken up, our relationship wasn't that great of one and we go a few years not seeing each other. Then all of a sudden I return in your life but I'm now dating Rachel. We are over so it wouldn't bother you right?"
"Of course it would bother me, because I love you so why wouldn't it bother me?"
"But you don't love me anymore, you moved on, I've moved on and it shouldn't matter. All those private talks we had, those intimate moments and feelings will be dismissed because it's over. We are over so it doesn't matter."
"You dating Rachel would be completely different," I tell him and he tilts his head to the side looking at. "Lucas our relationship is nothing like how yours was with Aislinn."
"How do you know that Brooke? You weren't around when we dated," his tone switching to a little cold and it hurts a little.
"Because you love me more then you loved her," my bottom lip trembles looking at him. "You always tell me I'm your everything. Now what, you're saying it's just a line you use with whoever you're with?"
"No Brooke," he shakes his head with a sigh. "I'm not saying that. Yes our relationship is different, yes I love you more than I ever did her and you know me in ways no one has but it doesn't change I had a relationship with her. A relationship that lasted on and off for almost six years," he informs me and I blink a few times relaxing the pressure building in them. "I get over you always feelings sorry for David and I see your face when he pops up with a new girl and I say nothing ever!"
"Lucas…"
"I don't say anything because I understand it and because I know you love me and it's not a competition. I don't fear you leaving me. But don't ask me to be ok with her popping up in my life again," he takes a step back from me tossing his hands to the side. "And don't tell me just because it bothers me I somehow feel less for you because I don't."
"Luke wait," I frown but he just shakes his head and walks back into the building and I drop my head with a sigh. I knew that was going to cause trouble.
"Hey," I glance up to see Alex drop down beside me.
"Hey what's up?" I give a nod leaning back in the booth looking at Brooke as she talks to Kylee. I'm not mad at her, I mean I know she can't control it but I just don't get how she can't understand why that would bother me. I mean you would think it would bother her? I wouldn't want to have her ex around if she had one, it would drive me insane.
"Nothing," Alex shrugs drumming his fingers on the table. "So game coming up…"
"Yeah, you think you are ready for it?" I ask bringing my drink up to my lips before pausing and sitting it back down.
"Yeah, I think it should be alright," he nods and a very awkward silence falls over us as we sit. "So this is weird."
"Oh thank god," I toss my hand up agreeing. "I was afraid it was just me."
"No, I mean it's cool. You are you know cool and stuff but you are like my teacher and my coach," he points out.
"And you are my student and player and I'm sitting around getting drunk," I wave my hand at my drink and he laughs.
"I don't know how Kylee gets over the weirdness."
"I knew her before she was my student so she just ignores it. I think it weirder for her at school because she has to remember I'm Mr. Scott not Lucas," I say and he nods agreeing as his eyes fall on her. Her throwing her head back shaking her head at something before tapping Brooke on the head about something and I feel bad for the guy. I know that look. "Oh no…"
"What?" he snaps his head at me and I chuckle.
"You're in trouble," I take a sip of my drink shaking my head.
"What? Why?" he moves around nervously.
"Because you have the look," I point at him with my finger as it rest around my drink. "And having that look for a Davis girl sucks."
"What look is it? And why is it bad?"
"I'm going to let you in on a secret because well I like you," I lean a little closer as if sharing a secret. "Davis women are insane," I inform him and he starts laughing. "Laugh all you want but it true. I mean I love Brooke I do but she is insane and all the Davis woman are the same. They will love you with all their heart but they will also take a damn long time to admit to that and when they finally do they will spend most of your relationship trying to get you to understand why they are unlovable and when they finally realize you aren't going anywhere well…well they will still drive you insane. Trust me ask Ben, he will tell you the same thing."
"Then why does one put up with it?" he raises his brow and I laugh.
"Oh hell because we are insane about them. They pull us in, latch onto us in a way no one has and as crazy as they drive us, them not being in our lives will not work. Once you have a Davis woman enter your life you really can't picture her ever not being there."
"You know…Kylee tells me stuff," he says and I look at him a little confused. "You and Brooke, been through a lot."
"Yeah," I glance down a little with a nod. "We have."
"It's cool to see you two now," he comments nodding his head at Brooke. "I mean I didn't know ya'll then but I see it now. See the way you feel about each other and just makes me realize Kylee and I will be alright you know? Yeah we have problems sometimes but if you and Brooke are still standing why can't Kylee and I do that? Why can't we get over everything you know?"
"It's a slow process," I tell him, Brooke letting me know only a few side notes on the young couple. "But I'll tell you what when a Davis opens up her heart to you and lets you in…all the fighting and pain and everything seems worth it because you have her. And when you have her life…well life is pretty damn close to perfect," I let out a dry laugh, watching as Brooke's sad eyes dance over to me and a frown is across her perfect lips.
I hate fighting with her. I accepted a long time ago we are just one of those fighting couples and I honestly like it to a point. It keeps us from having everything build up but at the same time…at the same time I hate the look on her face when we walk away and are still fighting. I hate ever walking away from her mad.
Washing off my face I listen as Lucas moves around my bedroom getting ready for bed. We haven't really talked much. Not that we were ignoring each other or anything but more we weren't really alone too. Kylee says I'm stupid and should understand where he was coming from and after some time I did. I get it.
Dropping my rag down on the side of the sink, I strip out of my clothes from the night before and into one of Lucas's t-shirts he let me- ok I stole from him. It's nothing big, just a long sleeve gray shirt but I love it. It's comfy and warm and when it starts to lose the Lucas smell I love so much I force him to wear it a few times and then steal it back.
It's losing its smell now, starting to smell more like me maybe when I know he isn't mad at me anymore I will make him wear it.
Walking back into my dark bedroom, I shuffle my feet around, wishing my eyes would adjust quicker because I always stumble my toe or something in the night. Climbing up in my bed, beside my boyfriend I wiggle under the sheets and beside him resting my chin on his shoulder as he lays there.
"Luke…" I whisper to him, him shifting a little to look at me. "Are you still mad at me?" I ask, hating when we fight.
"Brooke…" he turns over to face me and I lift myself up on my arm to look at him.
"I hate fighting with you," I tell him. "And I'm sorry I messed up…"
"You didn't mess up," he tells me quickly, brushing my hair back. "I don't know why I got mad, I don't. I don't care what Aislinn does, I don't."
"I know you don't," I slide my leg up as it brushes against his. "But I know it bothers you and you don't want her around and I should have told you as soon as I got the note of her wanting to mete but I didn't… I just…I wanted to know what she wanted before I told you."
"I know, I know you did. But I love you Brooke," he brings his forehead to touch mine. "And I think what bothered me most was after all this time a part of you still questions that."
"I don't," I tell him quickly, my voice cracking just a bit. "Luke I swear I don't. I just…when I saw her flashes of you and her kissing ran through my head no matter how hard I try to ignore it and after you got so upset I just…I don't know what I thought," I tell him, looking down embarrassed.
"You thought I cared about someone else," he lets out a dry laugh. "And that feel hurts…"
"Like hell," I let out a laugh shaking my head. "You have my full heart Luke," I look at him. "You've had it the moment those gorgeous eyes looked into mine and saw me, the real me. No one has ever done that before, saw that me and you did and you still do. You are my everything."
"And you are mine," he leans up giving me a gentle kiss. "Don't ever think differently on that ok?" I say and he nods stroking my cheek. "I love you Pretty Girl."
"I love you too," I snuggle close next to him, loving the warmth of his body beside me. "Night Boyfriend," I kiss his chest, completely relaxed in the moment of having him hold me.
"Night baby girl," his arm comes up around me and brings me closer into him, my leg draping over his body as we lay there. "And you're lucky we have this bet because you know my favorite part of fighting is the making up," he teases, relaxing the moment of seriousness we were in. "And I would keep you up all night not caring you have work tomorrow," he informs me and I giggle.
"I feel very unlucky," I peer up at him under my lashes and love the gentle smile he flashes me. My heart always knowing I would forever be in love with Lucas Scott.
Sorry haven't updated as fast as I want. My updates might slow down a bit. I just started a new job and have more hours than my last so I won't be able to update as fast.
I also know I'm behind on reviewing on a few of the stories you all write that I love reading and it's not because I don't like them but because I really haven't had time to read them so if I haven't reviewed yet that's why! I promise to as soon as I have some few time!
Please review!
