I still own nothing…but I wish I did.
Chapter 16 Vegas Baby
Brooke's meeting was canceled so she decided to go have a drink. To her dismay when she got down to the bar it was packed. The only empty seat was next to a familiar blonde guy that she had been avoiding for weeks. Brooke sighed and turned to leave, but stopped herself. She was going to have it out with Lucas once more and hopefully that last time. She sat down and Lucas was shocked to see her.
"Hey." He said Brooke nodded without a response. "Not talking tonight are we?" Lucas teased
"Not really in a social mood. I thought you were going home."
"No you told me to go to my room, so I got one of my own."
Brooke sighed. "Come on Lucas why are you doing this?"
"Because I won't let you push me away."
"I'm not pushing you away." He gave her a look. "Ok maybe I am, but that's only because I have been let down and abandoned by people so many times that it's just easier to push them away first."
"Brooke if you keep doing that then you will end up being alone."
"I know. That is a huge fear that I will end up alone."
"If you put your heart out there then you won't be alone…Give me your heart again Brooke I won't hurt you."
Brooke nodded.
The two were in Brooke's room talking. Brooke got up and opened her suitcase then pulled out a jewelry bag.
"What's this?" he asked
"The ring." She took it out and showed it to him.
Lucas smiled. "You still have it." He stated matter of factly
"Of course I still have it. You told me to keep it until I was ready." Lucas nodded trying to figure out where she was going with this. "I'm ready Luke. I want to be with you forever. You, me, and Leila we will be a happy family."
Lucas stood up and took the ring from her. Brooke stood there expecting him to put it on her finger. But he just looked at it.
"Brooke." He sighed "Are you really sure about this?" he asked not wanting to make the same mistake twice.
"Yes I am ready. More ready then you'll ever know."
Lucas nodded and put the ring back on her ringer.
"I say we go downstairs to the chapel and get married now, just us." Brooke said Lucas gave her a strange look. "We can do it for everyone else later, but this will just be about us the way it should be."
Lucas smiled "Let's go."
I know it's short…I promise it will be longer next time but I have had a million things to do.
