Don't Own Anything from One Tree Hill

Chapter 10; No It's Not!

Lucas and I were dating for almost a week now, and we still hadn't told anyone about us dating. Yeah, I wish it was like that; but no, everyone knew about us. See, Peyton accidentally caught us making out at the girls locker room. She being so exited screamed it to Haley and a few hours later, Nathan knew it too (because I can't lie to my husband! According to Haley). And Tim being Nathan's best friend wanted to know what was going on between Lucas and me so Nathan just blurted it out. And of course, Tim being 'Tim'; told the whole school about us dating. On the first hand, it was great cause now we could walk hand in hand whenever we want, wherever we want. Nobody would be shocked if we were making out or if Lucas whispered sweet things in my ear while I giggled. We are the couple. The 'it' couple. Everybody is jealous about us. The guys want to be Lucas and the girls want to be me. But on the other hand, it is awful. It's not very nice to hear 'I heard he's just with her cause she's pregnant' or the 'give it two weeks, then she's bored and find another guy and dumps him'. And even the nice things were sometimes quite annoying. I mean, don't get me wrong I love the attention but I swear if I'm hearing 'Oh My Gawd, your dating Lucas Scott!' again I'll personally kill the person who said that. So, everybody knew.. Even some teachers congratulated us! That's just weird don't you think? Anyway, the only person who hadn't a clue was the person who should be one of the first people who just had to know. Still following me? Yeah well, it's Karen. We just didn't know how to tell her cause we were afraid she would be mad or something. I mean, Lucas is her son and I'm living in her house so it's a little complicated. We were still waiting for the right moment, but that didn't seem to come.

"So Karen knows nothing?" Haley asked us during lunch.

"Nope, we just don't know how to tell her."

"It's very easy you know; just walk hand in hand and right in front of her face; you make out. I'm pretty sure that'll work."

"Nathan! We can't do that are you crazy? She'll have a heartattack if she found out that way!"

"Brooke, he's just joking." Lucas laughed at me and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.

"No I wasn't." He said pretty serious.

"You've been hanging out to much with Tim these past two days, sweety."

When I watched Haley, I could see the love in her eyes when she looked at her husband. They are so in love. Then I looked at Lucas who was already looking at me. He blushed a little cause he caught staring. He looked so cute that very moment! I giggled and kissed him on the lips for a moment.

"Cut the lovey dovey guys! It's just wrong to see my brother kissing my friend."

"Says the one who grabs every minute to kiss his wife."

"Well there's a big difference between 'wife' and 'girlfriend, Brooke."

"No it's not, the only big difference is the ring on your finger."

"That's not the only difference and you know it."

"No it's not."

"Yes it is."

"No it's not."

"Yes it is!"

"No it's.."

"Cut it out guys! Geez, you're unbelievable!" Haley shouted shutting both me and Nathan up.

"And not to mention very stubborn." Lucas added.

"But baby, you know I'm the one who's right about this, do you?" I looked at him and gave him my cute look.

"Hey, don't drag me into this!" He said throwing his hands in the air in defence.

"Broody, you do realize you have to stick up with me if you still want to call me your girlfriend."

"That's just mean Brooke." Nathan said.

"I know! But that's who I am!" I answered with a big smile on my face while the others rolled their eyes at me.

When school was over I thought it was a good idea to go home to do the 'chores' cause I'm still grounded for two days.

"Hey Karen! I'm going to change first and then I will help you with the café okay?" I asked while I dropped my bag on the counter.

"That's okay, but first I need to ask you something."

"Oh ehm, sure; go ahead."

"That Bevin girl, she's a friend of yours right?"

"Right."

"And she's not exactly.. well, I don't know how to say this right. Ehm, she's not very bright, right?" I laughed out loud. No, Bevin was not very smart. I think maybe a pig is smarter then her.

"Not exactly no."

"And is she just a gossip girl like you?"

"More the queen of gossip, yeah."

"Oh, then she just made a mistake earlier. I don't have to worry then."

"What mistake?"

"Oh it was nothing, she showed up not too long ago and congratulated me and when I asked her why; she told me with Brooke and my son. I just said thanks but had no idea where she was talking about. Do you know what she meant by that?"

I stood there not able to move. I opened my mouth to say something but the words just didn't came out. This was not supposed to happen! Lucas and I both agreed that we wanted to tell her when we were ready. And that moment was definitely not now because Lucas must be there too. I'm not going to tell this all by myself! What if she's pissed or angry or something like that?

"Brooke?" She asked me still waiting for an answer.

"Ehm, we ehm.."

"We're dating mom." I turned around and saw Lucas standing behind me putting an arm around my waist. I looked up and he smiled at me giving me a kiss on my forehead.

"It's about time! When did this happen!" She said with a big smile on her face. Okay, not the reaction I expected but this was so much better.

"Almost a week ago." I said proudly.

"That's great! I'm happy for you."

"Thanks mom, but eh.. Can I borrow Brooke for a while, or does she have to work?"

"Take your girlfriend wherever you want to go, just don't take her to your bedroom or hers." Karen said while she winked at us and then walked away to help a customer.

With a happy face and our hands locked we walked down the streets of Tree Hill.

"So Karen was happy about us."

"Yeah, I think she kinda knew this was gonna happen or something."

Then I remembered her and Andy talking. She already knew that there was tention between us.

"I think it's just a gift for mothers to know things like that. When I was ten years old, I had a crush on somebody for the first time in my life and when my mother asked me who the lucky girl was, I said that there was no girl. She said that she could see in my eyes that I was in love. Maybe she saw it now too."

"Yeah, I think she did."

"Okay Brooke, I have a question for you."

"Ooooh tell me, I love questions. Well, only if they're good."

"Do you want to go out with me, on a date?"

"Of course I want that! You don't have to ask!"

"Well, I was being a gentleman."

"Awww your so sweet." I kissed him softly on the lips and slid my fingers into his hair, and he ran a hand up my back.

"So Luke, when are we going on a date?" I asked him with my hands still in his hair and my lips still on his.

"Now."

"Now?" I draw back from the kiss and looked at him in utter shock.

He just nodded his head like it was normal that we were going on a date right now.

"No! I'm not ready, do you know how long it's gonna take before I'm ready to go? First there is the outfit and the make-up and the shoes and .."

"Yeah I know that's gonna take forever so that's why I'm gonna take you right now. Come on." He grabbed my hand and took me to the park.

"What are we doing here?"

"You'll see. It's a surprise."

"But I don't like surprises."

"I know, but you're gonna love this one."

"But, I want to know now! Can't you just give me a little hint?"

"No."

"But Luuuuke."

"Don't whine Brooke, we're already here."

I'm evil I know. First of all it took me a while to update and second of all I end this chapter here. You guys can vote what they're gonna do on the date. Maybe a picknick, or swimming (with clothes), or something else? Thanks for everyone for the reviews. And for the ones who want drama, you just have to wait for a while, but not too long. And for the ones who want fluff, maybe for one or two chapters or so!
