Chapter 9. The Balcony Scene

Brooke looked at her watch as she blew the hair out of her face. She was running late, like always. Barging into Karen's Café for one last cup of coffee, she took out her phone and hit speed dial. Her appointment had to wait for a few more minutes.

"Hello? Yes, you're speaking with Brooke Davis here. I just want to tell you that I will be arriving a few minutes later then planned. I hope that's ok with you?" When she rolled her eyes as she heard the women on the other side of the line yelling, she saw Lucas walking into the café.

Not letting the women finish her sentence she interrupted "Yeah I'll be there at five. Bye."

Lucas smiled when he saw her and walked towards her. "Hey! What are you doing here?"

She returned his smile. "Oh, just getting coffee before heading off to the beauty salon. You know this face doesn't stay perfect all by itself." She smirked.

He touched her cheek lightly and she closed her eyes when she felt him touch her. "I think you're a naturally beauty."

Brooke found herself actually blushing. Something she had never done before. "Uhm… Thanks."

"Your welcome. So when do you have to leave?"

She glanced again at her watch. "In about two minutes."

"That soon? I was hoping I could talk to you for awhile." She grinned when he said that. She was proud of herself that she had him wrapped around her finger that quickly. The way he watched her, like a cute lost puppy, made her want to stay a little longer.

"Well maybe we can talk another time." She said as she ordered her coffee.

"When?"

This boy was almost starting to sound desperate. "Soon." She said sweetly and kissed him on the cheek. "I have to go now. I guess I'll see you later?"

He nodded and when she walked away he called out, "I'll call you!"

Brooke turned around on one heel as she gave him a wide smile. "Of course you will." She murmured as she turned around and walked out of the café.

Lucas watched her go trough the door and smiled. He had been day dreaming about that girl all day. She really was beautiful. With her hair loose and all curly and shiny. Her make-up barely noticeable and still she looked gorgeous. He wondered why all of a sudden she was so interested in him. He had watched her in History class and she didn't even notice him then, but all of a sudden when she started to 'hang out' with Haley, she gave him her attention. Was this all because of Haley? And why on earth would Haley be the reason why she'd noticed him?

Maybe he just had to ask her.

But first he had to think about a way to connect with her more than they already did. He wanted to see her more. He wanted to date Brooke Davis.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Brooke found herself at a party throwing by God knows who. As she stepped over some guy who she thought drank too much, she glared around the room. When she spotted Peyton over at the so-called-bar, she smirked. Peyton, who looked plastered already, was busy with a heavy make out scene. When Brooke saw Nathan's hands all over Peyton's back she felt a hint of jealousy. She grabbed a cup of beer out of someone's hand and quickly walked over to the lovely couple.

When she made her presence known by clearing her throat, the couple stopped kissing and turned their heads around to see a smiling Brooke.

"Brooke!" she nearly screamed, "you're here!"

"How observant of you." Brooke said dryly as she watched her manicure in pure admiration.

Peyton, who didn't catch the not-so-enthusiastic tone in Brooke's voice, continued with her drunken talk, "I'm so glad you came! For a minute I thought you weren't going to show up!"

Brooke gave her a sarcastic smile, "You know me, never missing a good party." She glared around once more. "Although, this one kind of sucks."

Nathan who had kept his mouth shut since Brooke arrived, opened it now "Hey Brooke, can I talk to you for a minute?" He looked over at his girlfriend when he continued, "alone?"

Brooke shot him a look that said 'what the fuck?' but walked after him anyway.

"Nathan don't you dare try something while your girlfriend is in the same room or I will kick your fucking ass!" She hissed as her eyes went dark.

He remained cool and pretended not to hear the harsh words she has just said. "I just wanted to say thanks."

Brooke blinked her eyes a few times as she replied stunned, "What?"

He rolled his eyes. He didn't want to say that again, it was hard enough. "You heard me."

"Is Nathan Scott actually thanking me." She crossed her arms and smirked. "That's a first."

Ignoring her comment he said quickly, "Well, don't get used to it. I just wanted to say thanks because you made me realize that I've been wrong about Peyton. I really want to make our relationship work and it's all because you kicked some sense into me."

"Your welcome." When she saw a blue eyed, blonde hair guy walking into the room looking quite uncomfortable, she forgot Nathan instantly. Saying a quick 'bye' to Nathan she walked over to her new victim.

"Lucas! What are you doing here?"

He smiled when he saw someone familiar. "Brooke! I was hoping I could find you here."

"Of course you were." She said as she took a step closer to him. "So, what are you doing here on a party like this, my dear Lucas?"

He smiled and took her hand in his. "I just wanted to find you."

She looked at their hands and smiled. Lightly touching his chest with her other hand she whispered seductively in his ear "Want to finish this conversation somewhere else?"

He grinned from ear to ear as he nodded his head excited. She grabbed his hand and took him upstairs. When she saw him frown, she laughed. "Don't worry Lucas, I won't do anything you don't want to."

Not sure what she meant by that, he still followed her like a man possessed. When Brooke opened a bedroom door he stopped. "Brooke, I'm not sure what you…"

"Oh don't worry Broody Boy, you'll get wrinkles from all the worrying." She gave him a small smile that he of course, couldn't resist.

Walking through the room and not even paying attention to the bed or anything, she walked straight to the balcony doors. She opened them and stepped out into the cool night air. Standing by the railing with her back to him she inhaled deeply.

"It's beautiful out here don't you think?" She said softly as she watched the sky in awe.

"Yeah it's beautiful…" He putted his arms around her waist. "Just like you."

She turned around giggling. "My my, you sure know how to make a girl blush."

He shrugged his shoulders coyly and smiled down at her. "So Brooke Davis, why did you bring me here?"

"Because I wanted to?"

"Try again."

"Because I like watching the stars?"

He pretended to think about it. "Hmm, could be true but no, try again."

"Because I wanted to do this?" She leaned in and when their faces were inches away from each other, they heard a loud bang. Brooke pushed Lucas away and walked towards the balcony doors to take a sneak peak from what was happening in the bedroom.

She had to suppress her laugh when she saw Nathan and Peyton fully make out on the bed. Brooke saw Lucas standing next to her and when he saw them he laughed. She quickly placed a hand on his mouth and mouthed to him 'be quiet'.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"Jeez, how long have they been going at it? It seems like hours!" Brooke complained when she sat next to Lucas, still on the balcony. They had been waiting almost an hour now and Lucas refused to go in there. He wanted to go in only if he had heard a closing door, and since they hadn't heard that they were still outside.

"I'm cold." Brooke whined for what seemed like the hundredth time.

"Stop complaining Brooke. It's not suiting you very well." Lucas laughed at her when she put her head in her hands.

"This sucks!"

"Tell me about it." He mumbled under his breath.

Not wanting to wait any longer Brooke stood up and walked to the doors. Lucas quickly got up too and stopped her in time. "Brooke stop! Do you really want to walk in that bedroom where your best friend and her boyfriend are having sex?"

She cursed softly about the situation she was in now. The party was probably over by now as she saw people leaving from upstairs and she was so damn cold! This was probably the worst party she ever had been to. Well, except for the last time at Duke's. That party really sucked.

Thinking about it, this was not the worst situation she could be in. She was here, on a balcony, in the middle of the night, with her new boy toy Lucas.

Turning around to look at him she changed from the whiny bitch to the sexy and seductive women.

"So Lucas, as I was thinking… How about you and I do something to keep us entertained while my two friends in here are fucking each others brains out." His reaction was priceless as she saw that his expression was turning from shocked into a wicked smile.

"Yeah? What do you have in mind?" He took one step closer to her to clear the distance between them.

Now she pretended to think about it. "Hmm, let's see. I was thinking about…" She leaned in once again and now they weren't interrupted by strange sounds coming out of the bedroom.

The kiss was not full of lust but pure passionate. She placed one hand on his neck and the other on his back to bring him even closer. They stopped for a while as they looked into each others eyes.

"Wow." Was all she said.

He grinned as placed his hands on her face and leaned in and kissed her again. He gave her the sweetest most intense kiss she had ever had. She kissed him back and wrapped her both her arms around his neck. He gently slid his tongue in her mouth and massaged her tongue. They kissed until they needed to breathe and then pulled away from each other.

"Again, wow. You never told me you were such a great kisser Lucas."

"Well…" He kissed her forehead. "You never asked."
