Fate – Chapter Thirty-Eight

Brooke's POV

"Oh hell no."

"Brooke, you wrote skydiving down."

"Yeah, well a girl can change her mind."

"I promise you it will be the second most exhilarating activity you partake in with me."

"What's the first?" He raises his eyebrows.

"Oh, sex. That'd be cute and almost funny if you didn't want me to plunge to my death." My voice is dripping with sarcasm.

"I'll tandem jump with you. I've got you." His smile melts my knees and I lean into him willingly.

"You promise?"

"Yes. Life is about taking the right risks… with the people you love most in this world." I lean into his warm palm, caressing my cheek.

"Ugh, I'm sold." He kisses me deeply, pouring nothing but passion into the kiss, before pulling me inside.


Once we have been through the safety briefing, having me change my mind a half dozen more times we are strapped in together and in the plane.

"It's time." His breath is hot on my neck.

"Oh god, absolutely not."

"Well hate to break it to you babe, but you're strapped to me." Jay makes a move to hang out of the plane.

"Jay, I don't know." My voice is nothing more than a desperate squeak.

"I'll stop if you want, we can go back down. But you'll regret it." The warmth of his tone washed over me, edging away the cold fear.

"Oh I hate you."

"I love you too. So is it a go?"

"It's a go." He takes the plunge and he's right, it's one of the best moments of my life.


"Okay so this next one is tough. You really want to go to space?" His brow raises in the adorable but sexy way only he could master.

"Eh, well it's a dream. But… not a plausible one."

"Well, this is the best I can do." He walks me into the planetarium.

"Jay." I turn with tears in my eyes.

"Do you like it?"

"Thank you for doing this for me. You make me feel so special and loved." I'm choked up, tears burning my eyes willing me to let them escape.

"You are special and loved. I just want to show you that, every day of my life." I feel the warmth of his forehead against mine.

"There is one thing on the list I never thought would be possible until I met you." the whispered confession doesn't sit between us long.

"What?" He takes my hand in his.

"Finding a man who adores me the way you do, and getting to keep him forever." There's a hitch to my voice, knowing we don't have the ultimate commitment yet but feeling we aren't far off.

"I'm not going anywhere." I lean up and kiss him deeply, our tongues meeting.


"You have a motorbike?" I frown at Jay.

"I'm not sure I like that… I mean, you do enough dangerous things." He raises an eyebrow at me.

"Not that I'm telling you what to do or anything." He chuckles before handing me a helmet.

"This motorbike would be a dream to own, but no, I'm borrowing it from a firefighter at 51. It was on your list to ride one."

"Hmmm."

"I promise to deliver you back home safely. I'll barely speed." I can't help the eye roll.

"Oh, that sells me on the idea." My tone is snarky and he chuckles.

"I feel like you don't want to do anything on your bucket list, maybe the two most important ones should just be skipped all together." I narrow my eyes knowing he's baiting me; it works as I slide the helmet on my head.

"Okay, let's go." I slide behind him, holding him tight.

He pulls out into the traffic and I'm giggling as he weaves through traffic.


"I would ask what's with the kinky outfit, but I could take a guess. You really are going all out."

"You're worth it." The ease in which he says it, makes my heart flutter.

"It's not October though."

"So? Octoberfest is a state of mine."

"Ha. Okay."

"Let's go."

"Where?"

"A surprise. Now let's go before I regret this outfit." I laugh as I take in his green shorts and hat.

"How could you regret that outfit?" I'm giggle as he shoves me with his shoulder.

Jay ushers me into the car and begins the drive to Molly's.

"Did you rope in your work buddies?"

"I may have." I laugh at him as we exit the car.

"You really are the best, you know that?"

"I know, it's a tough cross to bear." He jokes, leaning down to capture my lips.

He leads me inside, the octoberfest decorations in full affect, with everyone we know in Chicago all dressed up.

Herman hands us beers.

"Thanks."

"Let's get you drunk."


I'm smiling into my glass of wine in the early hours of the morning, my costume replaced by a flowing dress. I stretch out on the carpet, leaning back on the couch with a smile, feeling more at peace then I have in months.

My eyes flicker of to Jay, watching as he thanks the delivery guy and opens the box of pizza as soon as the door is closed.

"I'm so hungry." I moan as he sits by me, scooping my legs in his lap.

He offers me a bite of the slice of pizza, before stuffing it in his own mouth.

"I really love you." I giggle, the pizza box dropping to the coffee table and my butt sliding against the floor as he brings me closer.

"I really love you too." His whisper is cut short by my lips on his, tongue sliding into his mouth.

"I thought you were hungry." His words are mumbled against my lips.

"Hmmm you're just so much tastier." I tease as I pull away, watching him grab another slice.

My eyes are taking him in over the rim of my wine glass watching him eat pizza with one hand and caressing my thigh with the other.

"If you don't eat some of this, I will finish it." He breaks me from my thoughts about the perfect day, with the perfect man.


The pizza is long gone, my wine pushed to the side and the movie playing in the background but my eyes are watching Jay.

I reach over and run a hand through his hair, before grasping his neck and pulling his focus from the movie.

"I really had the best day. Thank you Jay. I needed this."

"Good, you deserved it. You deserve the world Brooke Davis, and I'm going to give it to you."

"You are my world, as long as I have you I'll be happy."

"You feeling inspired again?" He threads his fingers with mine.

"Yeah, even before the attack I wasn't exactly using my time to live my twenties. Which was the whole upside of having a mother who steals your company." He chuckles before kissing me softly.

"I missed your smile." His confession is quiet, and I sense some shame.

"I'm sorry I haven't exactly been easy to be around."

"You don't have anything to be sorry for." The conviction in his words send a shiver down my spine.

"How'd I get so lucky? The most patient and kind man is all mine."

"Forever. If you'll have me." My heart races in my chest at his words, wondering and wishing that this is the moment.

The big question doesn't fall from his lips next, rather his lips join mine.

I sigh into the kiss, welcoming his tongue into my mouth as his hand plays with my thigh at the bottom of my dress.

"I'm lucky."

"Hmm?" He mumbles against my neck.

"Because as long as I have you, I know all my dreams can still come true."

"You've already made mine come true. I will make everyone of your dreams come true." Despite the disappointment briefly flowing through me at no proposal today I know in my heart he means his promise.

"I know."

"Especially that first one on your list." He brushes hair from my eyes.

"The baby?" I whisper into the space between us.

"Yes, I will give you a baby Brooke Davis."

"I can't wait to have a family with you Jay."

My body closes the distance between us, ending our conversation for the night as our tongues meet. I slide onto his lap, feeling his hands brush my dress before hesitating.

He stiffens beneath me before pulling away, kissing the corner of my lips.

"Brooke." He whispers.

"I'm ready Jay." His eyes search mine, seeking confirmation, silently reassuring me it's okay to not be ready.

"You sure?" His warm hand brushes my check and I lean in to it.

"I'm sure. I promise." Our lips are meshed together again, his warm caress moving under my dress for the first time in months.

I moan into his mouth, angling his head better as our kisses are slow, meaningful and full of passion and want.

"Not here." He whispers, placing soft kisses along my neck.

"Bedroom." I whisper back leaning back smiling down at him.

I scoot back, sliding up onto the coffee table watching as Jay's eyes drop beneath my dress.

He hesitates momentarily before taking my calf in his hand and bringing his lips down to the smooth inside of my leg. I'm moaning as he approaches my aching core, his fingers replacing his mouth and slipping my panties down.

He tests my readiness, pumping in a few times causing me to writhe on the table.

"I thought you said bedroom." I tease him, as he rubs my clit on the way out.

"Patience." My back arches as his lips dive him, his tongue gets to work pushing me to my release.

He sucks on my throbbing clit as I grasp the table beneath me, thighs tightening around Jay's upper body.

I groan as his lips leave my warmth, before I could fall over the edge into bliss.

I taste myself on his lips as he crashes our lips together in heated passion. My hands are clawing at his shirt and pulling it over his body, he growls at me before moving to his feet.

He scoops me up with little effort, my bare heat pressed against his toned stomach.

His actions are hurried as he gets us to the bedroom, gently placing me on the bed. I note his eyes glazed with desire as he removes the rest of his clothes, encouraging me to do the same.

Our chests are heaving with the passion between us as he settles between my bare legs, I lift my hips teasing his manhood with slick opening.

His moan is muffled by the skin on my chest, as he kneads my breast and pinches my taut nipple.

"I can't wait any longer." I purr into his ear, hoping he sense my desperation.

His lips claim mine again as he rubs against me again, his hands force my hips down as he slides into me.

The feeling of joining our bodies after all this time heightens the feeling of ecstasy we experience.

His moves are slow and precise, dragging out our orgasm as long as he can. I try to encourage a faster pace, however my hips are held firmly in place by his large hands.

"Jay, harder." My nails run through his hair, eliciting a shiver from him.

His hands move to roam my body, leaving my hips free to drive up to meet his thrusts.

Unlike the last, these are hurried, fast and deep as we clamber towards our orgasms.

Jay drives me over the edge, his name slipping through my lips as a sigh.

He's finding his own release as I continue to clamp down around him.

We lay there still, our bodies still joined as I enjoy the feeling of having him so lose.

"I love you." I kiss the side of his neck.

"I love you too."

A/N: How many thought there would be a proposal? haha I was so CLOSE. But someone convinced me to do it another time, and I have that scene now written down sooo... Not too long to go.

Okay so a lot of this was copied from the episode in OTH because it was just a great episode. I hope I've changed it enough to be Brooke and Jay lol

I'm sorry I didn't proof this - and even sorrier my sexy scenes just are... rusty. I almost skipped it all together lol But I thought... nah better not

IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE

Given my very long hiatus I messed up the time line bad in this story. I didn't expect it to get so long either I guess.

I know I've done Jamies birthday but I've completely missed Jays and Brooke's... also when are those? ;)

Someone asked me to write a Christmas chapter but I just mentioned Brooke in a dress... so is it winter? lol HELP!

If you know their birthdays' let me know... and I may have to pretend they happened in one of those moments I didn't write ;)

Jamies' is June 13th so yes it could be Christmas...

Brooke's in March so I didn't miss it - right?

But does anyone know Jay's? I know there was an episode on it... when was that set? lol
