Chapter 29
Brooke was sitting in Jakes old room, this is where she did her sketches and work. As much as she was glad that Jake moved on with his life she missed him loads, his room on the other hand still reminded her of him, so she spent most of her time there as if she had her best friend back, it was late in the night Lucas had gone to put Sarah to bed, while Brooke worked on new designs for her clothing line clothes over bros, she felt bad leaving Mandy and their little boutique but things were okay now and Brooke finally did what she wanted all her life. Lucas came in to the room to find Brooke sorting things out, sheets were everywhere, bits of fabric dangling from random objects, Lucas whistles
"I'm trying to imagine Jake reaction when he sees how well you decorated his room" smirked Lucas moving a bunch a fabric to a side and taking a seat.
"Funny, I've got too much too do man, I have to get these dresses ready by tomorrow" Groaned Brooke.
"Well what can you do its work" said Lucas
"I'm starting to hate that word…I guess your going back to tree hill tomorrow then"
"Yeah…I'll be back soon next week end its Sarah's first basket ball game and I can't wait"
"I know, good lord where did I go wrong, some times I think I gave birth to a boy then a girl, what happened to the good old days where girls just became cheerleaders"
"I think she looks better as basket baller then a cheerleader"
"You would though…who would think that my daughter would hate poms poms…omg she will never get kissed by boy, they will think she is one of…them"
"Amen to that"
"Lucas!"
"What…look you can't push her to do things she doesn't want to…let her live her life"
"You would she is doing what you like best…basket ball ugh I hate that word"
"I thought you hated the word work"
"Oh shut up"
"Orite come on what's going on…why is bitch being a Brooke"
"Excuse me what did you just say…argh I don't know it's just"
"Just what…Brooke what happened"
"It's Sarah…after finding out Maria has brother…she wants one now too"
"Oh…then give her one im sure you can do that easily" Brooke glares at him. "Okay you don't like jokes I get that"
"It's not easy to explain to a 9 year old why"
"Yes it is look…Sarah you can't have a brother coz your mommy doesn't want to be or sleep with you daddy"
"Lucas you're not helping here"
"Brooke common neither of us is dating, I know I wanna be with you and know you do but you just won't let the past go"
"Lucas we're not going down this lane again…its just…just too difficult…you know us"
"It won't be if you gave it a chance as well"
"Lucas why are you being a pain…look us getting back together will be hard"
"But-"
"Luke why do you do this to me…look we'll discuss us later…I promise I'll give it a think"
"Thank you it's all im asking…so do you need any help or can I go to bed"
"Actually…how good are you at stitching?"
"You know I was only joking right"
Couple of hours later
Brooke finished her dresses with the help of Lucas, she was quite shocked on how well he could stitch and sew, all her life of knowing Lucas, she never he could do this.
"Wow this is amazing…where did you learn to cross stitch so good" said Brooke as she admired his work.
"Well when I was young I went through my gir…err mom forced me to join the sewing club" said Lucas "you know to understand women"
"Omg you went through a girl phase...I can't believe this" laughed Brooke.
"Hey my only friend back then was Haley and I hung out with my mom all the time so excuse me for having a feminine side" pouted Lucas.
"You're such a woman Lucas you know that"
"Omg why would you say that, that's just mean"
"Now I've upset you…what did I say?" said Brooke trying not to laugh at him
"It's not what you said…it's the way you said it" mumbled Lucas playing with the hem of his top, he stopped when he realized what he was doing. "Omg I am a woman" Brooke laughs at him.
"Ahem I'll just…you know…go spit or summit" mumbled Lucas getting up and leaving, while Brooke laughed as he left. "Not funny Brooke!"
Next day
Lucas still had some time to kill before he had to leave for his flight back home, so he thought spending all weekend with Sarah, he would spend these last few hours with Brooke. After Brooke finding out he did a lot of girly things in his past, he decided to teach Brooke how to make potpourri from scratch and teach her how to knit. During all this Sarah decided to hang out with Sam and Tom next door, she headed there. She rang the bell and their mother opened it.
"Oh Sarah sweetie how are you" smiled Mrs. Newiss letting her in to the house.
"Im fine Mrs. Newiss, where are the boys" asked Sarah
"oh dear they are in side, they're helping me with couple of things" said Mrs. Newiss leading Sarah in to the living room where she came to the sight of Sam and Tom arranging flowers. "Would you like to join us, it's quite relaxing"
"I…err no thank you…my dad is going back today so…I'll spend the day with him" said Sarah quickly as she saw Tom give her warning look which said run-save-you-self, with that she left and went back home quickly. She went to the living room to find her parents there.
"And now you wind the thread around the needle…like this" instructed Lucas as him and Brooke knitted tea cozies, Sarah stood at the door horrified, Lucas looked up.
"Oh hey Sarah common on join us its fun" said Lucas
"Omg where have all the men gone!" screamed Sarah running out
"Whoa what happened to her" asked Lucas
"I don't know Lucinda" laughed Brooke
"Stop calling me Lucinda…and you're doing it all wrong" snapped Lucas taking the needle and wool of her.
