Overflowing
Chapter 24
Brooke felt her knees buckling. And heart racing.
"Why didn't you say anything to me in these past two years!" She screamed. Her mind going on in circles. The two hadn't been apart even though they were broken up.
Dinners together and with the boys. Holidays. Birthdays. And Lucas had just kept his feelings quiet. Watching from the sidelines as her relationship with Owen grew. It didn't make any sense.
"You were happy Brooke. I wasn't going to stand in the way. Since it was me who broke things off. I planned to never tell you how i felt. The only reason i did was because i found out that you still had feelings for me. During that dinner we had."
"If that hadn't happened i would of let you move on." Lucas revealed.
"What happens now.?" Brooke asked.
"That's for you to decide." Owen stated.
Brooke and Lucas had gotten so caught up in their own conversation they had forgotten there was other people around.
"I'll be outside on the front porch." Lucas announced. Feeling out of place amongst the couple.
"I never planned or imagined this happening. The last thing i want is to hurt you. I love you. I do It's just." Brooke said.
"It's not the same. You're in love with him." Owen replied.
"I'm sorry." Brooke said.
"I'm not. Because of you. I know that i want a real relationship. Keeping things casual isn't enough for me anymore. Go live the life you're supposed to be living. Don't give a damn what anyone else thinks."
"Can we still be friends.?" Brooke asked.
"Of course." Owen replied.
...
Weeks Later
Owen and Brooke were over. Owen had left wanting to begin new career adventures and travel.
For Brooke she was back to living alone in her home. Her feelings for Lucas out in the open as his feelings were for her.
The two had spent two years denying themselves the truth.
Now they done with that and ready to move forward together.
Hearing the front door to her home open and close.
She smiled brightly.
"If it isn't my favorite man. Lucas Scott." Brooke teased.
"We have alot of unpacking to do at our new house." Lucas announced.
"I'm taking one last look around then i'll meet you at the car." Brooke.
"Hurry it along. Future Mrs. Scott." Lucas teased.
Brooke stared down at the engagement ring he had just given last night. Still in awe that they were engaged.
And moved in together.
Standing still.
