Chapter 13
Nathan walked into Lucas's room, slowly, making sure Luke was dressed.
"Nate, come in, I have clothes, sorry about that." Luke laughed.
"That's ok, man, we need to talk." Nathan said to Lucas. "How the hell did you get Brooke bouncing around the house and waiting on you?"
"Oh, right, I haven't told you." Luke said as he recapped all the events from the past few weeks. He realized that they had been in and out of the hospital since they got together. He wondered how many people Brooke had told. "How basketball? Whitey making your lives hell now that I'm not there?" Lucas laughed, sure Whitey was practicing the crap out of the whole team to make sure they could still win without Luke.
"You know he is. Speaking of.. when are you coming back?" Nate missed having his brother on the team, and just playing basketball with him in general.
"I don't know man, for now, I just want to get back on my feet, but the doctor said I could do that tomorrow. Then I have a checkup and I was going to ask him then. I got this surgery so I could play ball, and I just want to do that!" Lucas sighed. He missed the rush of basketball.
"Hales!" Brooke screeched as she looked at an gorgeous lingerie set. "Lucas would LOVE these!"
"Brooke, please, Luke is like my brother! And you called me Hales! That's huge!" Haley laughed.
"Would it be bad if I kicked you and Nate out? I need these!" Brooke begged.
"Brooke!" Haley laughed. "No, I'm just kidding, I was just going to tell you to we should get going too."
"Oooh! Tutorwife, am I rubbing off on you?" Brooke laughed.
"No Brooke, you are so not rubbing off on me! Nathan and I have to go to Dan's. He's paying us to have dinner once a week, he wants to be all fatherly! Ha! Fathers don't have to PAY their sons to have a totally awkward dinner with them!"
"Oh, fun! Just kidding, ok, so give me three minutes and I'll buy these and then we can go."
Brooke bounced into the house a half hour later, her hands full of bags of things that she "had" to have, half the bags were from the lingerie store.
"Ok, Nate out, Brooke in!" Brooke laughed as she walked into Lucas's room. Haley walked in a few seconds later laughing.
"Come on babe, we should go, we're going to be late to Dan's." Haley said as she and Nate left.
"Hey babe, you feeling ok?" Brooke asked Lucas.
"Yea, I'm doing fine.. is that seven Bernie and Cecil bags?" Lucas questioned, grinning.
"Heck yea it is babe! I figured you'd had a long… hard day, and you needed a little fun" Brooke giggled. "I'll be right back!" She yelled from the hall as she made her way to the bathroom with three bags.
Brooke walked out in her favorite pair. She was walking in the hall as she heard the front door opening. She screamed and tried to hide behind the couch, but the door opened too fast.
"Lucas? We're ho-" Karen yelled before she saw Brooke standing there half-naked.
