Brooke practically jumped out of her skin she was so scared and she spun round where she heard the person's voice.
"Brooke why didn't you just tell me?" Lucas said as he looked at her sadly, had she just jumped when he touched her? Why was she scared?
"Lucas I am so glad to see you, I thought someone was following me, I am so sorry I lied to you, I should've told you how much I hurt my ankle, but I just didn't want to prove you right" Brooke said as she pulled him into a hug. Lucas just held her in his arms, how could he be mad at her when she was like this.
"How come you're here?" Brooke asked pulling herself out of his arms, surely he should have been miles ahead of her
"Brooke I think I know when you're lying" Lucas said looking deep into her eyes, "I knew something wasn't right so I waited on that bench over there" Lucas said as he pointed to a bench across the street. "And then sure enough you come limping down the street" Lucas said
Brooke just listened to him, he was so sweet, how did he always seem to know when she was lying, was she that transparent?
"I'm so sorry Luke, I should have stopped, but then Peyton came over and said we could stop if I was struggling and I just couldn't let her see that I was hurt" Brooke said
"Brooke its okay to admit that you're tired, the squad would understand, they know you have just come back" Lucas said
"You don't get it do you Luke, I'm their captain, it's my job to lead them, they are my responsibility, I can't let them down" Brooke said she hated letting people down
"Brooke you're an excellent captain, don't be so hard on yourself" Lucas said
There was a little silence
"How's the ankle?" Lucas asked
"Pretty sore" Brooke admitted
"Jump on" Lucas said
Brooke just looked at him as if he was mad
"Luke don't be silly, I don't want to hurt you, I can walk seriously" Brooke said
"Brooke you can't walk, look at you" he said, "look Brooke we both know you barely weigh a thing, trust me I think I can manage to carry you at least most of the way" Lucas replied, he was sure he could carry her, he hated seeing her in pain
"Are you sure?" Brooke asked, still rather unsure, although truthfully she was not sure she could manage the walk herself
"Brooke just jump on would you" Lucas said annoyed at how she was resisting, she clearly needed his help.
Brooke managed to jump on his back and sure enough he kept his word and carried her nearly all the way home
"Luke you can put me down now, I think I can manage it" Brooke said, poor Lucas he was so sweet, she could tell he was starting to ache a bit
"Are you sure, I think I can carry you the last bit if you want" Lucas said, even though Brooke was quite light he still ached, he had carried her a long way, not that he minded as he could tell she was not gonna manage it otherwise but he certainly would not complain if she could manage to walk the last bit.
"Positive" Brooke said as Lucas put her back down on the ground
"Thanks Luke, I owe you one" she said
"Brooke Davis take that back you don't owe me anything" Lucas replied, if anything he still owed her for the way he had treated her in the past, Lucas thought to himself
"Well at least let me carry your bag" Brooke said wanting to pay him back somehow
"Brooke don't be silly, I can manage my own bag" Lucas said
Brooke just stopped and frowned at him
"Lucas Scott give me your bag now" Brooke demanded
Lucas just looked at her, she looked so sexy when she was angry, he couldn't help but smile at her, she had her hands on her hips and was pulling her angry face.
"Why are you smiling?" Brooke asked, rather confused
"You just look so sexy when you're angry, just one of the many reasons why I love you" Lucas said
"Aw Lucas" Brooke said "And that's why are you gonna hand over your bag like a good little boy" Brooke finished
Lucas just handed over his bag to her
Brooke just smiled to herself, she always knew how to get round Lucas. He tried to act as if he was in control but one little smile and he just was powerless to her. Then again she was pretty powerless when it came to him as well, she just was so in love with him, he just made her feel as if nothing could ever hurt her. All that really mattered to her at that moment in time was that she loved him and he loved her and for her that was more than enough.
They got in and Brooke collapsed onto the couch, Lucas came over to her, lifted up her legs so he could sit next to her and then placed her legs back on his lap. He then held her bad ankle and started massaging it.
"How does that feel?" Lucas asked hoping he was helping, no wonder she had had trouble walking on it, it certainly looked rather sore.
"Much better thanks" Brooke replied, he was so sweet, he always did little things like this, he was definitely the most caring guy she had ever gone out with, but then again there was no surprise there considering that the guys she had been with in the past and pretty much been after one thing and were all jerks.
"Well you're gonna need to rest it if you're gonna be ok for practice for tomorrow so you are gonna stay here and not put any weight on that foot, do you hear me Brooke Davis" Lucas asked trying to be firm with her, as much as he worried about her cheerleading it was something that she really wanted to do and he could not stop that so all he could do is be there for her and support her decisions.
"Actually Luke I am gonna cancel practice tomorrow, I think I pushed the girls quite hard today including myself and we could all do with a day off" Brooke said. She loved cheerleading but she had pushed herself too far this time and Lucas was right, she did need to take it easy as much as it pained her to say that
"Brooke are you sure? Don't cancel it because of me because I am behind you 100 with whatever you decide, if you want to carry on with cheerleading then I want you to" Lucas said, he would hate himself if she gave up something she loved because of him.
"Luke I am gonna carry on cheerleading for as long as I can, I know you worry about me and I have learnt my lesson, trust me on that one, I will just have to be careful with what I do that's all but I am definitely gonna cancel tomorrow's practice, I think the squad would kill me otherwise" Brooke said
Lucas couldn't help but laugh at Brooke's last comment
"Yeah you did kinda crack the whip with them today, I'm actually kinda glad you're not quitting as it means I get to see more of you in that outfit" Lucas said
"You perv" Brooke said as she hit him with a cushion
"Hey it's a boyfriends right" Lucas replied with a smirk on his face
"And what if you weren't my boyfriend?" Brooke asked coyly
"Well" Lucas thought "I guess I would still stare at you" Lucas laughed
"Great so even if you weren't my boyfriend you would be a pervy stalker, that's good to know" Brooke joked
Karen walked in the door and saw the two of them lying on the couch
"Hey you two, how was your day?" Karen asked
"Yeah mum it was good" Lucas replied but keeping his eyes focused on Brooke. Brooke loved the way he looked at her, it was like he completely got her, he knew what she would say, he knew what she was thinking, he just knew her.
"Well I spoke to the garage and they said your car should be fixed so they will drop it round in the morning.
"Great thanks Mum" Lucas said
"Ok I am gonna just leave you two to it" Karen replied noticing that the two of them were so wrapped up in each other that she was not going to get a decent conversation out of either, so she went into the kitchen to do the dishes.
"I wonder what boys are gonna be up for auction this year" Brooke said
"I think most of the team are taking part this year" Lucas replied
"Well at least I get you all to myself so don't have to worry bout you and some girl" Brooke said
"Actually Brooke I need to talk to you bout that" Lucas said rather nervously, he knew Brooke well enough by now to know that she was not gonna act well to this
"Please tell me your kidding Luke, you can't seriously be taking part in that thing!!" Brooke said getting madder by the second.
"Look its just for charity and it's a team thing, it looks rather odd if I am the only one on the team not taking part" Lucas said
"Well I am sure they would raise enough without you and as for the team thing, FYI I don't think any of the other guys have pregnant girlfriends" Brooke said. How could he do this to her
"Brooke just calm down it's just a few hours and then I am all yours again" Lucas said hoping that she was gonna calm down
"Ok let me get this straight then, you get to go and have all these sluts bidding for you and then go wherever they take you and do whatever they want and then you get to come back to me, yeah I can see why you would want to do that, sound likes a pretty good deal to me. So what exactly am I meant to do whilst you are on this date?" Brooke asked Lucas intrigued as to what he was gonna say
"Well I guess that's up to you" Lucas said, there was no way he was gonna fall into the trap of telling her what to do, Brooke would just go out of her way to do the opposite and annoy him
"You thought I wouldn't do anything did you, you thought I would just sit here at home waiting for you to return, well I've got news for you Lucas that's not gonna happen" Brooke said, clearly mad. She pulled her feet of Lucas, got up and stormed into the bedroom, slamming the door when she went in
Lucas knew she was going to be mad but he thought she would take it a bit better than she had done. Just then the door opened. Maybe she realised she over reacted, he thought to himself.
Next thing he knew she flung him out a pillow, "If you think your coming in here tonight you've got another thing coming" Brooke said as she slammed the door shut again.
He had never really been thrown out of his room before so this was definitely a first. Maybe it would just be easier if he pulled out, at least then Brooke might forgive him.
