Hey guys, I'm back with another chapter.
Things are starting to look up and I'm in a good mood as of late so I'll be updating regular now so don't worry.
Anyway here is the next chapter. ENJOY!
"You're getting married in two months?" Rachel asks refilling my wine glass as Haley, she and I were all sitting in my front room. Adrian had taken Maddie away to visit her grandparents again for two weeks this time.
"Yeah Lucas wants to and I don't see why we shouldn't so I agreed" I reply taking a sip of my wine "we were thinking of doing it in that flower park that has the arch"
"Where Lucas first felt feelings towards you?" Haley questions with a smile on her face.
I nod "Yeah and we were thinking to have lilac as our colour scheme so you both will be dressed in long lilac if the shoulder dresses with black heels and I'm going to wear a long white ruffled dress that has crystals on the top bit"
"Designing your own dress?" I nod tucking my feet underneath me.
"So changing subject from your wedding for a moment" Haley says eyeing Rachel the looking back at me "how is Lucas doing with the whole finding out Peyton is a lying..."
"Whore" Rachel finished making me laugh into my wine glass.
"Well its been a few days and he seems okay. He picked up a divorce case to work on for the next couple of weeks so that'll keep him busy" I reply honestly.
Lucas hadn't brought it up since he asked me to marry him in 2 months then when I said yes we did... Well you know and stayed in bed for a day and half before we let the outside world in.
"And what about you?" Rachel questions putting her wine glass back on the coffee table me and Haley doing the same "are you okay Brooke?"
I thought about it for a moment not because I did doubt things with Lucas, but because I never stopped to actually think how I was feeling. I just engaged Lucas to feel better, he was my main priority.
I think a little more than nod being sure that I did now feel alright. I owed it to Nathan for putting that doubt of Peyton lying into my head "Yeah I'm good girls" they both smile and then we get back to talking about my wedding.
A few hours had passed and I cooked dinner for Lucas and me waiting for he to get home from work. The front door opened just as I was setting the dining table. I looked up and saw Lucas walk through the corridor and towards the kitchen.
"Something smells super yummy" he comes over to me and places a soft kiss to my lips.
"Steak, mushrooms, chips and onion rings for my baby" I set his plate down.
"Garlic mushrooms?" I nod and he smiles "oh my Pretty Girl done good"
"Why thank you baby" he kisses my forehead and I close my eyes with a smile on my face.
"So did you do much wedding planning with the girls today?" he asks sitting opposite me at the table.
I shake my head and place his plate down in front of him "I told them everything we had already decided on. As for a venue for the reception I wasn't sure if..."
"We could use the Cafe or how about here in the garden. It's big enough. We could have it catered and set up a tent thingy"
"You mean a gazebo?" I shuffle a folk full of food into my mouth.
"Yeah one of those, that way we can save the money and have a story to tell"
"We aren't short of money Luke" I just wanted to make that clear.
"Yeah I know" he nods chewing food before swallowing then speaking again "I didn't mean it like that Brooke. I just..." he took a breath "the garden is big enough to host a circus if they were in town, it'll be fine for the reception. We can have a wedding planner come in and to decorate if you wish"
I shake my head looking back down at my food "no wedding planner, I can do it myself"
"So is that a yes then?" I turn to look at the garden and I knew Lucas was right, but I just. It wasn't in the vision I had of my wedding.
When I was a little girl I dreamed off my wedding, yeah so I went a little off colour and where the ceremony will take place, but everything else was exactly like I had pictured. The flowers, the people, the groom. I had to take in consideration Lucas and what he wanted to. That was the only part I missed out when I was younger.
"Okay Luke, the garden it is" I truly didn't centre where or how I got married. I just want to be his wife.
The next couple days I had been busy with work and the fashion shoot I had to go London to help with. It took 2 days and I was back. Hayden has been doing a good job with Jay there to help when she needed it. They were a very good team.
"Brit I need you to email Jeff the designs I had scanned and sent to you and then I need you to set up a meeting with Harris and Barley for a week's time and then I need you to schedule in another meeting with Lauren for Friday in 2 weeks" I know it sounds a lot, but she was used to it. Promise.
"Okay Brooke, leave it all with me" she gives me a thumbs up and sits at her desk with her Bluetooth ear piece in her ear.
"You free for a late lunch or maybe early dinner?" I look up and see Lucas standing by the door with a bag that looked to be full of food
"Oh baby I appreciate you coming down here with these goodies, but I'm swamped with work and between that and this wedding planning I have no time" I stand up and place a sweet kiss to his lips "rain check?"
He looked disappointed and that broke my heart just a little, but my hands were tied. Work has picked up and my hours have become long and tiring "Yeah okay Pretty Girl" he gives me that fake smile he thinks I can't see through and places a kiss to my forehead "I'll leave the food so please eat something and I'll see you tonight" I nod and he walks to the door.
"Luke?" I call out to him.
"Hmm" He stops and turns to me. I knew he wasn't going to like the next words that were about to come out my mouth, but work called.
"Don't wait up okay. I'm going to be working late again" he just nodded and headed out my office.
Maybe tomorrow I can work from home. I let out a sigh and slump back in my chair. Was I still running?
REVIEW!
Love You All Loads
