Chapter 24

The Misconception of Brooke Davis and Lucas Scott

The Watering Hole was Lucas Scott type of place. After tucking his nephew in for the night, Lucas had taken off on his Harley. He didn't have any particular destination in mind, he just needed to get away and have some fun. Forty minutes later and two towns over Lucas had reached his favorite bar. He hadn't been there in years, but it still look the same. Dark, and smokey with a jukebox, pool tables, sawdust on the floor, and a bar ,the place hadn't changed at all. He walked over to the bar and order himself a beer. He sat down on a stool, and looked around. The place was packed, it was busy night. The bartender brought his beer over and Lucas thanked him. Taking a swig of the beer, Lucas almost choked when he saw her. Sitting in a booth in the back of the bar was Brooke Davis. Debutante Brooke Davis, the princess of Tree hill was at the Watering Hole. He couldn't believe it. She hadn't seen him, in fact she looked like she was in her own world. Luke couldn't believe it, this was the last place that he ever expected her to be at. He watched her for a few more minutes wondering if her should go to her or leave her alone. He couldn't decide what to do. He had planned to have a few drinks, pick up a girl, get laid. Brooke Davis and her bag of drama was not part of the plan. He got up from the stool and started towards the door, then he stop. He couldn't leave her there, what if something happen to her? What if someone hurt her? Why was it his problem?. He turned himself around and walked towards her. She glanced up and their eyes met. She didn't look happy to see him. In fact she looked like she was going to scratch his eyes out.

"No Way Lucas get out of here"

"Well Ms, Davis that's not the proper way to say hello where are your manners?"

Brooke was fuming as she watch Lucas settle himself inside the booth.

"What are we drinking?" He asked her in a condescending voice

"Lucas leave."

Lucas couldn't help it he started to laugh. She was obviously angry her face was turning a bright shade of red. In fact it seem to him that almost every time they ran into each other she always ended up angry, with a red face. He looked at her face again her eyes were red, he could tell she had been crying. He knew something was wrong.

"Want to talk about?" he asked her with a sincere voice.

She looked up at him with a scowl on her face. "Like you care, you can't even stomach me."

"Look Brooke I know we haven't exactly got off on the right foot and I know I'm not the easiest person to deal with. I've said some things and well I haven't made your life easy regarding the foundation. I'm sorry for that."

"Yeah right."

"Look seriously I'm really being sincere. Look let me buy you a drink. Call it a sign of good faith. A peace gesture. Come on have a drink with me. It'll be fun. What else is there to do on a Saturday night in Tree Hill except drink."

She smiled at him and started to laugh after he said that. What the hell she thought to herself.

"Okay Lucas Scott but how about I buy you a drink?"

Before he could answer Brooke call the bartender over. "Hey Rudy..."

The bartender walked over to them "Hey Brooke you're looking better what do you want? Your usual?"

"No I don't think Mr. Scott here can handle it. What are you drinking Luke?"

Lucas just stared at her. The way that the bartender was acting and the way Brooke was talking it seem to him that Brooke was a regular. Surprise, Surprise he told himself.

"I'll have what you're having."

Brooke smiled. "Are you sure? Do you think you can handle it?"

She was mocking him. He couldn't believe it she was mocking him.

"Princess I can handle more than you know."

"Well as long as you're sure. Rudy bring us my usual. Don't forget the salt this time"

"Yeah, yeah Brooke I know. Thank god it's only you tonight. You and Peyton here upset and with pms not pretty." Rudy answered as he walked away.

Brooke started laughing again. Rusty was right Peyton and her had defiantly had some wild times at The Watering Hole. She looked up and saw Lucas with an amused expression on his face.

"So Brooke Davis at The Watering Hole. I have to say I'm shocked. What other things are you hiding?"

" A lady never tells her secrets. What are you doing here?"

"Truth? I need a break from everyday life. I have this huge deal that's closing next week and I needed to unwind. So are you going to tell me what's wrong or are we going to bullshit all night long?"

Rudy brought their drinks over.

"Ms. Davis Tequila shots wow. I'm impressed. I would have never thought"

"Yeah, yeah the princess drinking tequila... Look shut up and drink up. What shall we toast too?"

Luke thought for a minute. " How about we toast to Saturday nights in Tree Hill"

"Yeah I like that cheers to Saturday nights in Tree Hill"

An Hour Later...

"Okay Brooke that's enough."

"Ohhhhh Lucas come on one more. Luke please, please."

"No way Brooke no more pool. Okay you win, you beat me. I take it back girls can beat guys in pool. Come on Rusty bought us a round lets go sit down."

He took Brooke's hand and led her back to the booth they had been occupying. For the past hour the two of them had shot three games of pool. Brooke had beaten him every time. She was giddy and defiantly buzzed. It was a different side of a woman who he had thought to be a shallow, spoiled, brat and he had to admit he liked it. They sat down and started to laugh again. Brooke finally spoke.

"Thank you Luke."

Luke looked up and saw that she was smiling. "For what? I didn't do anything."

"I'm having a good time. It's been awhile. Today wasn't a good day and well you help me forget it for a little bit."

Lucas took a sip of his beer. " So you want to tell me what's up? You're eyes were really red before. I know you were crying. What's going on? Is there something I can do?"

"No, I'm okay. I ...well today I ...I did something that made me sad."

"What?"

"I boxed up a lot of memories. I finally got the courage to take all of the things that Nathan gave me everything that reminded me of him and it hurt a lot. I started thinking and crying and ..."

Lucas saw that tears were starting to fall down Brooke's face. He grabbed her hand."Hey don't cry. Hey Brooke."

Brooke broke out into to sobs. She couldn't stop. Lucas got up and went to her. "Hey Brooke...um... look give me your car keys I'll drive you home."

When she didn't move Lucas grabbed her purse and found her keys. Helping her up he led out of the bar into the parking lot. "My car .. My mom's car is over there the blue BMW. Look you don't have to take me home I can get there myself. I'm sorry ...I didn't mean to breakdown it seems that I do it a lot when you're around. Hey at least I didn't throw things this time."

It was Lucas turn to laugh and he did. "How about I take you to my favorite place in the whole wide world. I'll drive your car. Come on keep me company some girl beat the pants off me in pool and well my ego was slightly damage. Say yes I don't think I can handle another rejection."

Brooke was amazed, Lucas Scott was being funny and nice who would have thought? Maybe he wasn't so bad. She thought about his request. Why not? she thought to herself. Her parents were out of town . She had no desire to go home. Knowing Glamma she wouldn't be home for weeks .She had nothing else to do. It was still early.

"Okay let's go. I'm game."

Lucas was smiling as he watched Brooke get into the passenger's side of her mother's car. He still couldn't get over it Brooke Davis, shots of Tequila, The Watering Hole, and pool. Who would've thought...
