Author- Emily-Grace Mendes (Brookebynature)

Disclaimer- I don't own either Brooke or Lucas. Damnit :(

A/N- So I know this chapter is super short, but I haven't updated for ages, and I thought you reviewers should have something to read. I hate sound sound like somone who advertises their other fics, but I just wanted to tell you to check out my two others 'Life is what you make it' and 'Crazy for you baby' because they aren't getting many reviews. I just wanted to raise awareness lol. So If you are reading this, please REVIEW! lol

Chapter 4: Safe In The Knowledge That You're There

The movie finished with Lucas almost asleep from the comfortable position that he was in with Brooke's warm body against him. The balét dancing was normally enough to send him off to sleep anyway, he had no idea why Brooke liked 'Uptown Girls' so much. Yet he still managed to fight the sleepy feeling, smiling whenever he saw Brooke get excited about a certain part of the movie or holding her tighter when there was a sad scene.

Throughout most of the movie though, Lucas had been staring at Brooke, occasionally dropping soft kisses on her head or nuzzling her neck. He hadn't realised that she wasn't particularly paying attention either, and that she was really focusing on lying comfortably in his arms, secure in the knowledge that she wasn't alone, and that there was someone out there who really cared about her. That was all Brooke needed to know.

She craned her neck up to kiss him, moaning softly as she felt Lucas press his body against hers, closing the gap between them. Lucas rolled so that he was on top of her as Brooke opened her mouth wider to allow him to deepen the kiss. Brooke felt his tongue start to massage hers gently, and she moaned louder as she felt Lucas slide his hands softly under her shirt, tracing circles on her smooth skin.

She felt a rush of cold air as Lucas pulled away, straightening his sweater.

"What's the matter?" she asked, trying to catch her breath as she sat up, smoothing her hair down, a worried expression on her face.

"I've waited so long for this Brooke" he said, looking into her hazel eyes. "And I don't want to ruin it by making our relationship all about being physical. I want you to know that I'll wait if you're not ready, I want it to be right this time Brooke"

"I think" Brooke said, giving Lucas a gentle kiss on his lips "That that is the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me and meant it. Thank you"

He kissed her again, caressing her cheek with his thumb until she pulled away.

"But I've waited so long for this too Lucas" she started, biting her lip, hesitating a little as to whether or not to tell him how she really felt. "But I really, really want you to make love to me tonight. Please"

It almost came out almost like a plea, and Brooke was even shocked herself at the realisation of how much she wanted him.

"If you're sure?" Lucas asked, his eyes searching hers for any sense of doubt or hesitation. She nodded and smiled, her real smile, showing him the dimples that he loved.

"Then we'll take it slow" Lucas said, kissing her softly, giving Brooke such a feeling of being utterly in love, that her heart actually hurt.

"I love you" she whispered breathlessly as they pulled away from each other, taking deep breaths to replace the air that they had lost.

"I love you too" he replied "More than anyone"

Only one more chapter to go guys, I was thinking of maybe doing a sequel to this since easter break is coming up and I should have quitea lot more time to write :) Any ideas, let me know.

Oooh, also, if anyone knows the name/author of a fic where Brooke and Lucas have twins called Allie and Chloe, and a son called Rylan, please let me know. I need to read it lol.

Sorry for the constant rambling. xxx Please don't forget to REVIEW?
