Twice Upon A Time
Chapter 5: But I Do Love You

The plane was boarding at 11 o'clock sharp and by noon it was taking off. Brooke being Brooke took forever to get ready and waited to go back till the last minute. Then she had Lucas lug her bags to the front door where they were loaded into the car that took them to the airstrip. The plane took off with Brooke, Peyton, Haley, Lucas, Nathan, and Haley all aboard. Haley had never been a very good flyer and Nathan sat beside her trying to calm her as the plane rose into the air. In the front sat Peyton and Jake who both had headphones on listening to music. Brooke sat by the window looking out as Lucas watched her.

Brooke felt his eyes on her and looked at him. "What?"

He shook his head with a smile, "Nothing." He had no words.

Brooke smiled confused and then laid her head softly on his shoulder.

"Sleep tight pretty girl," he whispered softly as she drifted off to sleep.

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

Brooke stared in the mirror with her wedding veil held tightly in her hand. The door behind her pushed open instantly and Jake rushed in. "Hurry, Hurry were late, late for a very important date."

She turned and looked at him with a look of great confusion before he grabbed her hand and was pulling her out the door.

Peyton came up and helped Jake and they began pushing her towards the doors into the church. "This is the rest of your life Brooke lets go."

Brooke looked around shaking her head. Peyton took the veil from her hand and placed it on her head of curls and then pushed her threw the set of double doors as the wedding march began to play. She couldn't breath as she looked at the faces around her. Everyone she ever met was sitting in the crowd. The prime minister of South Africa, her second grade teacher, and Helena Beebe, her favorite baby doll. Something was seriously not right. When she got half way down she saw Lucas sitting near the isle. This was really getting confusing and then of course Rachel leaned over and kissed him. She felt herself get angry but she couldn't help but take steps the rest of the way down the isle. Looking up she saw Nathan standing there smiling at her. Wait! She was marring Nathan. Beside Nathan stood Mickey Mouse and Brooke blinked making sure she was seeing things right. Finally she reached the alter and Nathan took her hand.

Brooke woke instantly and looked around terrified. Where was she?

Lucas looked at her warily. "You okay babe?"

"Fine."

"Bad Dream?"

"Nah just weird that's all."

He rubbed his hands gently down her arm and smiled.

Brooke saw that Nathan, Peyton, Jake, and Haley were now sitting together talking. She and Lucas got up and moved over to sit by them.

"What are you guys talking about?" Brooke asked

Jake and Nathan smirked. "Nathan here was curious about what you were like when you were younger. You know before he and Luke knew you."

Brooke rolled her eyes. "Joy," she said dully and leaned dramatically back in her seat.

"Sounds interesting." Lucas added. He was dieing to hear about younger Brooke.

"Peyton was just telling us all about how you got along with everyone," Nathan said.

"You didn't let me finish though Nate. I said she was friends with almost everyone. Most popular 5 year olds I have ever seen but there was one person Brooke never has gotten along with," Peyton stopped there.

"Rachel." Jake and Haley said together finish for Peyton.

Nathan and Lucas exchanged confused looks. "Rachel?"

"Yeah Rachel is our other cousin."

"Wait you have another cousin?" Lucas asked unknowingly.

Brooke simply rolled her eyes again. "Yeah my uncle has one daughter, Rachel." Her voice was filled with distaste

"Brooke hated Rachel." Peyton said over dramatically.

"You weren't around them 24/7 though like me." Jake recalled all the memories of Brooke and Rachel.

"Okay yeah we hated each other." Finally Brooke had burst. "She was always ruining things for me. When I was 7 she cut the hair off my favorite Barbie and then tossed it down the garbage disposal." Brooke pouted and everyone else laughed.

"You almost pushed her over the balcony that day." Jake chuckled.

"Wait I remember that Barbie, didn't your dad have Matel© costume make one that looked just like you. You loved that Barbie so much you didn't let anyone touch it except you. Then of course you slept with it and when you went to get your hair done your damn Barbie did too. I was so jealous of that Barbie I wanted one." Peyton said as she recalled the Brooke look-a-like Barbie.

"Yeah." Brooke voice was dreamy.

"Wait you had a Barbie that looked like you?" Nathan stifled a laugh in pure amusement.

Brooke reached over Lucas and punched Nathan in the arm.

"OW." Yelped Nathan.

"Shut up you pansy."

They all stated laughing.

"So why haven't we ever met this evil cousin." Lucas asked intrigued to find out what happened to this dear girl.

"Her father was always a bit bitter towards daddy. My father of course being the oldest. The prized son who could do no wrong in my grandfather's eyes. After grandpa died my dad got pretty much everything. He couldn't face the fact that he wasn't grandpa's favorite and it didn't help that my dad was now the crowned king. When I was 10 they left and never came back. Word has it Rachel was sent to some high profile French boarding school when her mother ran off with her trainer 6 years ago. Otherwise no ones heard from them." Brook took a deep breath after she had finished.

Jake nodded in agreement. "Pretty much. Plus Uncle Ausby wasn't there that day and don't you remember. Grandpa didn't leave him much, just enough to get by. He was so angry. I remember hearing him yelling at my mother and your father came down and told him to just leave. They never got along."

"I never really liked him much. He was always such a snake," Haley muttered.

Everyone stopped and looked at her.

Haley shrugged innocently. "What? He was."

Brooke giggled and then gave a look of disgust. "Okay let's change the subject okay. I can only take so much of them."

Peyton nodded. "Agreed."

"Ladies and Gentlemen we have got clearance to land and will begin our decent momentarily. We ask you find a seat and buckle up. Thank you." The voice boomed over the speakers and each moved into a seat and buckled up.

A limo pulled up to the Davis Venice home. The gang climbed out but Haley, Lucas, and Nathan stopped with their mouths a gapped looking up at the monumentally beautiful home. Meanwhile, Brooke, Peyton, and Jake were headed gleefully up the front steps. Brooke stopped and looked back at the three that had yet to move from their places outside the car. "You guys coming? Not going to lie to you the inside is way prettier and wait till you catch a glimpse of a view from the back balcony."

Jake and Brooke chuckled softly. "Peyton did the same thing the first time we came out here," Jake said as the double doors opened allowing them inside.

"This is going to be a great week," Haley said quietly as she was the last one to enter the extravagant mansion.

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

Brooke and Lucas walked wistfully down the hallway holding tightly to each other's hands. "So Broody, here's the thing. I kind of, sort of, had them make up five rooms instead of six. Which means two people are going to have to double and share."

Lucas caught on to what she was hinting at but decided to play with her. "Oh you and Haley are going to share a room then. Well that sucks." He smiled sadly.

Brooke hit him playfully in the arm. "No silly you and I are going to have to share a room together. That's if it's okay with you? If not I'll just go and see if Haley wants to stay with me." Brooke said as she started to walk away, but Lucas caught onto her arm.

"Oh hold on there missy. I would love to room with you Brooke Davis." Lucas pulled her into him fully and rubbed his hands down her arms and suddenly began to tickle her.

"LUCAS!" Brooke screeched. Squirming helplessly to get free as she giggled, Brooke tried desperately to get loose. Finally she broke loose and took off down the hall. Lucas wasn't far behind though. Brooke flung open the doors to there room and Lucas caught her just there. Except she had stopped suddenly and he knocked right into her knocking her onto the bed and he fell on top of her.

"Well if this isn't a compromising position?" Brooke cocked and eyebrow curiously at him to see what his next move would be.

Lucas smiled and then kissed her forehead lightly. "We have a lot to do before we can go out. So come on lets get unpacked." He climbed off of her, lent his hand out to her, and helped her up.

"Yeah, your right."

Brooke, Haley, and Peyton decided they would hit the hot shopping spots while Jake showed the guys around and they did whatever it was when girls were shopping.

Haley pulled a pair of shoes from their box. "Oh I love them!" she smiled admiring their beauty and completely oblivious to the look that Brooke and Peyton were now giving her.

"Brooke I think you have rubbed off on our little Hales more then we thought." Peyton hit Brooke playfully with her purse.

When Haley didn't say anything Peyton and Brooke started laughing and Haley looked up at them. "Huh?"

All three girls were now trying shoes on. They had finally settled down.

"So I know this is probably personal, Brooke, but I have to ask. Have you and Lucas done the deed yet?" Peyton asked her face full of intrigue.

"PEYTON!" Brooke yelled a color of bright red rushed to her cheeks.

Haley and Peyton looked at each other before Peyton spoke again. "Well?" Her smirk was devious and obvious. Haley looked at her questioning; you could tell she was just dieing to know too.

"Peyton I can't believe you asked me this." Brooke slides the perfect Gucci shoe onto her foot. "Wow," was all she could say.

"Earth to Brooke, don't think you can change the subject. Have you or haven't you?"

"No. Okay, No."

Peyton's eyes grew wide.

"Every time we get close he finds some way to slip out of it. He says he wants it to be special." Brooke sighed but she understood and she couldn't be angry with him.

"That's sweet though." Haley added.

Brooke sighed heavily. "Yeah I guess." The brunette looked back down at the shoes on her feet. "I really love these shoes."

The trio walked threw the door to the house at about a quarter to either, with a pile of bags that were brought in behind them. They found Jake and Nathan waiting in the foyer when they arrived.

"Finally!" Nathan proclaimed.

"Brooke, Lucas isn't feeling well you might want to go and check on him." Jake said as he sharply elbowed Nathan.

"Okay." Brooke walked off leaving the other four to watch her go.

"What was that all about?" Haley questioned.

"Nothing. Were going out, let's go."

Meanwhile Brooke walked down the darkened hall worried intensely for Lucas. When she reached the door there was a bag and a note. Brooke pulled the note out and read its content.

Brooke,
I told you I wanted to wait, to make it special. You don't deserve anything less. So if you open the door I'm ready to give you my heart. From the day I met you I knew I didn't want anyone else and I can't imagine my life without you in it. You're so full of life and grace that any man is blessed to be in your present let alone be with you. I'm so lucky to have you Brooke Davis.

I'll love you always,
Lucas

"Aw Lucas." Brooke whispered to her self before she picked up the bag and peeked inside. "Naughty Lucas."

Opening the door she revealed a room lit by candles and Brooke's favorite flowers scattered around. Not roses of course. Brooke found roses to be tacky and cliché but lilies always got to her. Not just any but tiger lilies.

"Hey," he whispered softly.

Her pretty green eyes met his intense piercing blue ones as she walked towards him. "Hey." Her voice was also soft and tender. "Wait a minute mister I thought you were sick."

"Oh no. That was just my evil scheme to get you in my bed." Lucas laughed jokingly. They closed the remaining steps between them and Lucas pulled Brooke into his strong arms.

Brooke walked her fingers up his chest. "You are just trouble mister."

"You're probably right." Their forehead rested against each other as their eyes stayed locked onto each other.

"Are you ever going to kiss me or are we just going to keep talking?"

"You know I'm not sure."

"Lucas," Brooke whined before Lucas's lips collided lustfully onto hers.

Her hands wrapped around his neck and she played with the soft blonde hairs on the back of his neck, while his strong hands ran around to her waist pulling her closer. Soon both hands were moving about exploring unknown territories. This was it. They were finally going to get their moment.

Lucas slid his hands under Brookes butt and carefully lifter her up. This made her wrap her legs around his waste tightly not once breaking their kiss as he carried her over to the bed. Laying her down softly onto the bed he crawled carefully on top of her as she began to pull his shirt off. Brooke stopped and looked up at him with a smile.

"God Lucas I love you."

"I love you to pretty girl."

The sun peaked threw the window and Lucas eyes fluttered open. He looked down with a huge smile at the sight before him. On his bare chest laid Brooke that faint yet dimpled smile on her face. She looked more then heavenly with her long chestnut hair framing her fresh looking face and the sunlight dimly lit up her perfect features. The white sheet clung to her every curve as he admired just how beautiful she was. He was so amazed by the memories that came flooding back to him about the night before he didn't realize the sleeping girl next to him was now staring up at him. Her at first small smile had now grown into a full smile, dimples showing, and eyes sparkling. He stopped and stared at her for a minute.

"Hey you," he whispered in a husky voice finally breaking the silence.

"Hey," she whispered back innocently.

He brushed the hair from her face gently and couldn't help but just look at her with the most loving eyes. Brooke was looking up at the ceiling with a dreamy look on her face when she realized that Lucas was staring at her.

"What?"

"Last nice was amazing. You were amazing. I love you."

"Oh Lucas I love you too. Now we should get up and head down to breakfast. We have a lot of sight seeing to do."

"Okay."

Brooke got up and taking the sheets with her light and headed off to the bathroom. Lucas watched her go until she disappeared. "I am the luckiest guy in the world," he whispered to himself

The week had flown by so fast for the six friends. Peyton had taken the chance to enjoy the art of Venice and Haley took in the music. The boys just enjoyed themselves period and Brooke took the time to just be normal. All in all it was a great trip but they still had to go home. Things needed to be done back home. A party was being planned for her father's birthday and Brooke wanted to be an active part in planning, Lucas was looking forward spending more time with Brooke and working with his father, and Nathan was excited to have some fun.

The car pulled to a stop at the private airfield and they all piled out and onto the plain.

"I can't believe were going home," Jake said.

"I know," Peyton replied sinking into Jake's arm.

Much later they landed back home and little did they know things were about to get interesting.
