A/N: Hey! I have made a NEW! Video for this story! The link is on my profile page! Check it out! I really like it lol!
The next morning Lucas and Brooke lay side by side on Brooke's bed. Brooke smiled as Lucas leant in and kissed her softly as he placed his palm onto the side of her cheek. She smiled against his lips before pulling away. This felt so right...so why was she feeling so guilty?
"Hey...what's wrong?" Lucas asked softly as he noticed the distant expression on Brooke's face.
"What we're doing...it's okay right? I mean...it's not wrong is it?" Brooke asked hesitantly.
Lucas rolled over so he was lying on top of her. He leant down and kissed her softly "It certainly doesn't feel wrong" he told reassuringly "We have been waiting nearly a year for this"
"But what about Jake?" Brooke asked sadly "He was one of my best friends and I broke his heart"
"You're not meant to be with Jake...someday he will understand that" Lucas said with a small smile "You're meant to be with me...and you are"
Brooke smiled as she leaned up and kissed him lightly "You have been reading to many romance novels" she teased.
Lucas shrugged "Maybe"
Brooke frowned slightly as she looked around the room "Hey…where's Rachel? She didn't come home last night" she noticed confused.
Lucas let out an amused smile "You mean you are just noticing that now? Some roommate you are" he joked.
Brooke slapped him lightly on the shoulder "Shut up" she smiled before it faded "Do you think she is ok?"
"Yeah" Lucas said reassuringly "She's probably fine…she must have wanted to just give us some space. Which I am very grateful for" he smirked as he started to leave light kisses along her neck.
Brooke closed her eyes as she ran her fingers through Lucas's hair.
Lucas frowned confused as he felt Brooke push him off of her "What's up?"
"I need to shower" Brooke smirked as she got up from the bed.
Lucas watched slightly irritated as Brooke gathered her towel and some clothes. Brooke turned around and smirked at Lucas's facial expression. He was so cute. She opened the bathroom door and turned the shower on before coming back out "Well aren't you coming to join me Luke?" she asked innocently.
Lucas's face broke into a smile "You're evil" he grinned as he quickly jumped up from the bed and wrapped his arms around Brooke's waist from behind as they walked into the bathroom.
"Yeah well you fell for it" Brooke smirked as Lucas slammed the door shut.
Rachel awoke to the noise of loud snoring. She sat up slightly as she looked around the unfamiliar room. She rubbed her astounding headache tiredly and confused as she looked around. Then she realized that she wasn't in the bed alone.
She silently groaned and cursed at herself for being so stupid. From what she could remember…she got drunk last night. Skinny dipped with a few guys in the pool, drank some more alcohol, danced with some hot guy she met…and…well…lying next to him in his bed naked told her what happened after that.
As she got out of the bed silently, in fear of waking up the stranger next to her. She quickly gathered up all of her clothes which were spread around the room before rushing them on her and hurriedly leaving the room. As she door shut behind her she leant her head against it and closed her eyes tightly. What the hell had she done?
Nathan woke up the next morning to Jessica's cries. He tiredly walked into her bedroom and calmed her down before taking her into the kitchen to feed. He looked over and saw David's business card lying on the table.
It made him wonder when his first fight would be. He had to admit, he was kind of excited for it, yes he was scared…but the nerves and the fears were burned down slightly by the adrenaline and the excitement of it all.
He called Keith and asked if it would be ok for him to watch Jessica for a few hours while he went to the gym since he needed to pump himself up to be well prepared for the fight. Keith happily agreed to look after Jess since he and Karen loved to spend time with his daughter and he was thankful for that seeing as his own parents weren't exactly useful in that department. Or any department now that he thought about it.
"You ready for this?" Lucas asked as he and Brooke stood outside of the lobby. Today they were meeting up with the rest of the class for their first day skiing. This also meant that Jake would be there.
Brooke took a deep breath before nodding "Yeah…I'm ready" she said with a small smile as she slid her hand into Lucas's before he opened the door and the two walked in hand in hand.
Immediately people's eyes were on them but they both didn't care. They could hear the whispers of 'Oh my god! Are Brooke and Lucas back together?' 'I thought Brooke was dating Jake?' 'Why are they holding hands?' Lucas gave Brooke's hand a squeeze as they made their way over to where Bevin and her new boyfriend Skills were standing. Brooke couldn't believe that these two were dating but she was happy for her friend. It was about time she settled down slightly and got herself an official boyfriend instead of just hookups.
"Whoa dawg…is this for real?" Skills asked shocked as he looked down at Lucas and Brooke's linked hands.
"Yep" Lucas smirked proudly as he released Brooke's hand and wrapped his arm around her shoulder and Brooke let her arm slide around his waist as she leant into him.
"Wow guys! That's so romantic! It's like Noah and Allie on the notebook! When they finally find their way back to each other" Bevin claimed excitedly.
Brooke let out a small laugh "It's not exactly like that Bev…but thanks for the comparison" she smiled as Lucas leaned in and kissed the side of her head softly.
"Wait…but aren't you dating Jake?" Bevin asked confused.
Brooke glanced up at Lucas who gave her a reassuring nod "Um…not anymore" she told her friend.
"Oh? Well that's sad…but hey! You got Lucas back!" Bevin exclaimed.
"Yeah…she did" Lucas smiled as he looked down at his girlfriend. Man, he loved that. Brooke Lee, the girlfriend of Lucas Scott. His girl.
They turned around when they noticed the hushed voices and whispers. Brooke's tummy sank when she saw Jake enter the lobby with Peyton. She could see the hurt in his eyes when he locked eyes with her and offered him a weak smile however Jake just looked away.
"Don't worry about him" Lucas whispered reassuringly as he tightened his grip around her.
Brooke nodded slightly before turning back around. "This is going to be awkward" she sighed.
"Only if you make it" Skills cut in "Yo Jake! Come over man!" he shouted waving his arm to motion Jake to join them.
Lucas looked at him angrily "What the hell are you doing?" he asked in a hiss as Brooke looked at him with a panicked expression on her face.
"The sooner the three of you get used to being around each other again the better it is for your friends" Skills said with a shrug just as Jake and Peyton hesitantly approached them.
"Hi Jake" Brooke got out nervously as she gave him a small smile.
"Brooke" Jake mumbled quietly with a nod as he turned towards Skills "So…you up for skiing?" he asked.
"Yeah dawg. But the real question is. Are the slopes ready for Skills" Skills smirked.
"That's the spirit baby!" Bevin said excitedly.
"So…I see you two didn't waste any time" Peyton sneered coldly towards the new couple.
"No…we didn't" Lucas replied as he tightened his grip on Brooke "Is that your way of congratulating us Peyton?" he asked smugly.
Peyton glared at him "Not exactly Lucas" she spat.
"Rachel" Brooke cut in glad that something could get her out of the situation. While Peyton and Lucas were having their little discussion, she caught the look of anger and sadness on Jake's face and it made her feel uncomfortable never mind guilty.
"Wow…look at this" Rachel smirked as she approached the group "What have I missed?"
"Where were you last night?" Brooke asked ignoring her "You didn't come back to our room"
Rachel shrugged "I stayed with Bevin…didn't I Bev?" she said raising her eyebrow at Bevin hoping she would catch on.
Bevin looked confused for a moment before realizing that Rachel wanted her to cover for the redhead. "Yeah…that's right. Rachel stayed with me last night…isn't that right Skills?"
"Huh?" Skills asked confused knowing that he and Bevin spent the night alone last night, doing activities that didn't exactly involve Rachel. Although now that he thought about it, he probably would have been up for that. He glanced at Rachel who had a mixed expression on her face. Panic, desperation and dangerous. Skills slowly nodded his head "Yeah…she stayed with us"
Lucas smirked "Two girls huh Skills? You go dude" he chuckled as he high fived his friend.
"Luke!" Brooke gasped in a giggle.
Lucas grinned down at his girlfriend before pecking her nose lightly "Sorry" he smiled before leaning down and kissing her softly on the lips.
Jake looked away not being able to watch his recent ex rekindle with a guy he couldn't stand. Peyton shook her head as she saw this and was about to say something to the new love birds but Whitey beat her to it.
"Now now you two" Whitey said in a stern voice and a warning look.
Lucas and Brooke pulled away with a grin etched on their faces as they looked towards the front of the room where Whitey and some other teachers gathered to give them rules and instructions for them when they are skiing.
Nathan was jogging back from the gym along the pier as he saw David standing there talking to some other guy.
"David!" Nathan called over as he ran towards him.
"Nathan son, how you doing?" David asked as he shook Nathan's hand.
"Good…good" Nathan nodded as he looked towards the other guy.
"Nate…this is Ian, a old friend of mine…Ian, this is my nephew Nathan" David said introducing the two.
"Nice to meet you" Nathan said as he shook the guys hand.
"So you're the nephew I have been hearing about" Ian commented as he eyed Nathan up and down.
Nathan glanced at David expectantly.
"Ian runs some of the fighting rings down here in Tree Hill" David told him "He's helping me organize your fight tomorrow night"
Nathan's eyes widened "Tomorrow?" he asked shocked "That soon?"
"Why kid? Are you not ready?" Ian asked.
"No sir…I'm ready" Nathan told him confidently "Just a little surprised that's all"
"Well don't be surprised Nate…the guy Ian has got lined up for you is an easy target, don't worry about it…the money will be rolling in when you win the fight tomorrow" David said sure that was Nathan was going to win the fight. "Look son, we have some business to attend to so if you don't mind…"
"Oh no I understand" Nathan said taking a small step back "It was nice to meet you Ian"
"You too kid" Ian replied "Be ready for tomorrow though" he told him sternly "I have a lot of money used on you"
"I'll be ready sir" Nathan reassured him.
"I will call you later with the details Nate" David cut in.
Nathan nodded before turning around and jogging away. Tomorrow night! Damn he needed to work hard.
"Are you sure this kid is up for it?" Ian asked as they watched Nathan's figure disappear into the crowds.
"I told you Ian. I can spot a fighter when I see one…and this boy has a lot of anger bottled up inside of him" David said confidently "Don't worry about it. He will be up for this fight"
"Good" Ian nodded "Because if this falls through like the last time Dave, I will not be the only guy on your back. You owe me big money and this nephew of yours better be the one who pays off your debts because I am not going to wait around for my cash forever" he said in a threatening voice.
David nodded "Like I said before Ian. You can trust me. Nathan is a tough kid…with the fights I have lined up for him, the money will be rolling in for the two of us and my debts will be paid off in no time…I promise you that"
"Your promises don't mean that much to me anymore Dave, just make sure the kid fights and I will be happy with that" Ian said sternly before leaving David standing by the pier alone.
"Ah! Lucas Scott you are so not funny!" Brooke screamed as Lucas ran away laughing. Brooke struggled to release the snow that Lucas had just dropped down her back. The two gave up on skiing about an hour ago when Brooke wouldn't stop complaining about how much her feet were hurting. So they resorted to finding a quiet patch behind a group of trees where they made out for a little while before Lucas resorted in playing childish games in Brooke's words.
"Oh come on…that was funny" Lucas laughed as Brooke struggled to keep up with him as she tried to chase him with her own hand full of snow.
"You will not be laughing when I refuse to let you touch me for the rest of the week"
Lucas froze causing Brooke to stop where she was too. Just a few feet between them.
"You wouldn't?" Lucas said unsurely.
Brooke raised an eyebrow as a smirk grew on her lips "Watch me" she challenged.
Lucas struggled to come up with something else to stay as he looked at the seriousness in Brooke's eyes but also the playful part "You're bluffing"
"Try me"
"You wouldn't be able to resist me even if you tried" Lucas smirked arrogantly.
Brooke shrugged amused "Do you honestly believe that?" she asked.
Lucas nodded "Of course…I am irresistible"
Brooke nodded her head smiling "Sure baby"
"So why don't we just cut the small talk and head back to your hotel room?" Lucas asked smirking as he walked towards her.
"Nah uh Broody" Brooke told him as she took a step back and placed her hand up to stop him moving any further.
Lucas groaned "You weren't serious were you?"
"Um…I think I was" Brooke said grinning at the horrified look on Lucas's face.
"A whole week?" he asked in disbelief "Come on Brooke…I'm sorry for pushing snow down your back"
"And in my face" Brooke urged.
Lucas sighed "And in your face"
Brooke smiled as she nodded her head "Okay"
Lucas frowned slightly confused "Okay what?"
"Okay…that you're sorry" Brooke shrugged.
"So this bet thing is off then right?" Lucas asked hopefully.
Brooke shook her head "No…the bet is still on"
"But-" Lucas started but Brooke cut him off.
"But nothing Lucas…I was serious"
Lucas let out a dry laugh "But we just got back together…you can't deny me from my needs" he moaned.
"Your needs? And what are those exactly?"
"The right to kiss my beautiful girlfriend whenever I want" Lucas said seductively as he closed the gap between them. "To be able to do this" he whispered before leaning down and kissing her neck.
Brooke closed her eyes at the contact but then realized what he was doing. She pushed an annoyed Lucas away from her and smirked "Flattery doesn't get you anywhere Lukey…looks like you're going to have to work a little harder"
"Fine" Lucas muttered stubbornly "Let's just see what happens" he told her as he sat down on a log "I think that it will be you who will be the one to give up to temptation on this little bet we have" he challenged.
"Oh really? And it's a bet now huh? Wow…let's make this more interesting then" Brooke smirked. "Whoever wins…gets to do anything they want to the other or can get the other one to do anything they want to them" she whispered huskily as she sat down next to him.
Lucas gulped "Anything?"
"Anything" Brooke smirked before standing back up. "Let's go back to the lodge babe" she smiled as she picked up her ski's and walked back towards the direction they came from.
Lucas stood up with his mouth wide open. Brooke Lee was good at playing games…he could give her that but he was learning to be just as good. He wasn't the naive boy he was the last time they were together and Brooke knew that…which was exactly why this bet would be very interesting.
"So where were you really last night?" Bevin asked curiously as, she, Skills and Rachel walked up to the top of the slopes.
"I got wasted and passed out on the floor by the pool. I just didn't want Brooke to know that" Rachel lied.
"Sounds to me like you hooked up with a guy" Skills commented.
"Yeah well it sounds to me like it's none of your business" Rachel spat coldly.
Skill's held his hand up in defense "I was just stating my opinion"
"Yeah well your opinion is not wanted" Rachel hissed.
Skills rolled his eyes. He couldn't be bothered to have an argument with Rachel Gatina.
"Oh wow guys look at the view!" Bevin squealed excitedly as she pointed down the mountain.
"Yeah baby…it's pretty great huh" Skills agreed as they looked around at all the slopes and skiers and mountains.
Brooke and Lucas walked into the lobby side by side after getting changed out of their skiing gear. They decided to go to the café for a hot chocolate. So far so good for the bet for both sides as neither Brooke nor Lucas came close to kissing each other or even making physical contact.
"Stop staring at my ass Lucas" Brooke said sternly but jokingly as she noticed Lucas was trailing behind.
"I was not staring at your ass!" Lucas defended. Ok, so maybe he was just a little bit.
"I'm not stupid honey…I could feel your eyes roaming my behind…if you want it that bad then you can just give up now and let me have my way with you upstairs" Brooke smirked.
Lucas raised his eyebrows "I would…but that would be exactly what you would want"
Brooke shrugged playfully "Fine…suit yourself"
"Oh I will" Lucas chuckled as the two sat down opposite each other at a table in the café.
"Hey there" A young waiter said as he approached the two. He had dark brown hair and hazel eyes and Brooke had to admit that he was a handsome guy.
"Hi" Brooke smiled seductively as she eyed the waiter up and down. She side glanced at Lucas who she could see was getting annoyed.
"What can I get you?" the guy asked looking only at Brooke.
"Your name?" Brooke flirted.
"He's a waiter Brooke…he doesn't need to tell you his name" Lucas cut in coldly.
"I'm just being friendly Lucas" Brooke smirked.
"Friendly…yeah I can see that" Lucas muttered.
"So? Your name?" Brooke asked smiling as she looked back up to the hot waiter.
The guy looked back at Lucas who was glaring at him heavily before looking back down at Brooke "The name is Mike"
"Nice to meet you Mike…I'm Brooke" she smiled as she outstretched her hand for Mike to shake. Mike gladly returned the handshake but they were interrupted by Lucas fake coughing. He looked at Brooke expectantly and Brooke rolled her eyes "And that is Lucas"
"Her boyfriend" Lucas jumped in "Now if you don't mind…can we cut the chit chat and can you get us two hot chocolates?" he asked impatiently.
"Sure" Mike replied disappointedly as he found out that this guy was her boyfriend.
"Well that was rude" Brooke told him as she watched Mike walk towards the kitchen.
Lucas shrugged "Just because we have this bet on does not make it okay for you to flirt with other guys"
"I was not flirting with him" Brooke said innocently "You were just being paranoid"
"Yeah well that doesn't matter because you're still my girlfriend. Not Mick's or-"
"It's Mike" Brooke cut in smirking.
"Mike then…whatever!" Lucas grunted.
Brooke tried to stifle a laugh. Ah she loved Lucas when he got all jealous.
Nathan was hitting his punch bag from every angle with every force in his body as Keith walked into the Brooke's apartment carrying Jessica.
"Whoa…someone's got a lot of steam bottled up in there" Keith joked as he placed Jess's bag on the counter.
Nathan laughed slightly as he wiped the sweat from his forehead and took Jessica from Keith and kissed her forehead "Hey baby girl" he smiled as she stuck her fist into his cheek.
"I think Jessica is getting that from you" Keith laughed.
Nathan chuckled "Let's hope not" he smiled "So how was she? Well behaved I hope?"
"Yeah she was great" Keith nodded with a smile "Since Lucas is almost an adult now…me and Karen enjoy having a little one around again"
"That's good" Nathan nodded "Because I need you to do me another favor tomorrow night…" he trailed hopefully.
"Sure man. No problem" Keith smiled with a nod "We love having her.
"Thanks so much man" Nathan said gratefully "I'm going out with some of the guys from the team…you know…male bonding or whatever since I haven't seen them in a long time"
"Ah yes I see" Keith nodded but then frowned "But wouldn't they be on the senior trip?"
Nathan groaned inside is head of the mistake of his lie "Yeah well the seniors will be" he recovered.
"Of course"
"So…I will drop her off tomorrow? Around seven?" Nathan asked as he walked Keith to the door. Jessica still in his arms.
"Seven will be great" Keith agreed.
"Thanks again though Keith…you have been a great help" Nathan told him gratefully.
"Like I said before…we missed having her around. You too…and even Brooke" Keith joked.
Nathan chuckled "Tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow" Keith confirmed before leaving the apartment.
Nathan kissed Jessica's forehead "Come on…let's get you into the bath ok?"
Jessica nodded as she held her teddy tightly. A teddy that Nathan noticed that Rachel bought her for her 1st birthday. Stop thinking about Rachel! He thought to himself.
"Brooke will win the bet Luke" Skills laughed as Lucas told him what was happening between the two of them. They both sat in the Jacuzzi with Bevin and Rachel as the Tree Hill High seniors had once again snuck into the pool hall.
"Oh come on! I could so win it!" Lucas argued.
"No offence Lucas…but you can't. Brooke is hot." Skills laughed as he took a swig of his beer.
"Skills!" Bevin gasped reminding her boyfriend that she was still there.
"Not as hot as you baby" Skills grinned as he leant over and kissed his girlfriend turning a simple kiss into a making out.
Lucas rolled his eyes as he looked at an equally disgusted Rachel before laughing "So where is Brooke?" he asked.
Rachel shrugged "She said she would catch me up…she will be here soon" she told him.
"Right" Lucas nodded as he took a sip of his beer.
"Miss me" Brooke smirked as she approached the Jacuzzi. Brooke unwrapped her dressing gown to reveal her in a lacy black bikini. Lucas's favorite.
Lucas's jaw dropped in awe. So maybe Skills was right, maybe he couldn't win this bet.
Brooke smirked as she slid into the Jacuzzi and sat down next to Lucas. "You like what you see baby?" she asked seductively as Lucas finally snapped out of his amazement.
He fake coughed as he struggled to keep his hands to himself "Yeah" he mumbled nervously.
Rachel struggled to hide her laughter. She knew that Brooke was good at these types of games and that Lucas didn't stand a chance right now. Brooke saw Rachel's amusement and winked at her best friend. Letting the redhead know that this was only the beginning.
Lucas couldn't help it. He couldn't even peel his eyes away from his girlfriend sitting close next to him. He couldn't help it that his eyes could barely stop looking at her breasts or that his hands itched to be on them or her thigh or her face or anywhere on her. He couldn't help it. And he knew that the bet wouldn't last long anyway so he finally placed his hand on top of her bare thigh. He just couldn't help himself.
"What are you doing Luke?" Brooke asked smirking as Lucas shuffled even closer to her.
"You win" Lucas mumbled.
"Already?" Brooke asked innocently "I haven't even started yet"
"I don't care" Lucas whispered huskily "You are looking extremely sexy right now"
"So I win?" Brooke asked happily.
"You win" Lucas said not even caring anymore. He would probably enjoy what Brooke would do or make him do anyway.
"Good" Brooke smirked as she wrapped her arms around his neck "Because I have been dying to do this" she whispered before kissing him passionately on the lips.
Rachel rolled her eyes but then realized that she was basically a loner right now. Skills and Bevin making out on her right and Brooke and Lucas doing the same on her left. She quickly left the Jacuzzi suddenly looking for a companion of her own. She looked spotted some hot guy in the football team checking her out as she winked before walking towards him. She was about to have her own fun. She just couldn't help herself.
