Disclaimer: I don't own anything OTH/Notebook related. I would really like a Sophia Bush though. :)
A/N: In The Notebook, Allie has a fiance, so I made someone up for Brooke hahaha.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two sat awkwardly across from each other. Brooke gave a half smile, showing off her dimples that Lucas loved so much. He cleared his throat,
"So... How long are you staying in town for?"
"Just a couple of days."
Her response was quick, short and sweet, right to the point.
He mouthed an "Oh."
"Hows the husband?" It pained him to ask, but he just had to know.
"Fiance," She corrected, "Ryan's fine, hes running his own business now..."
Lucas nodded as if he was interested, But really, he wasn't listening to a word she said.
She's still as beautiful, as the first day I met her.
A smile came to his face.
"Luke? Lucas? Hellllooooo?" Brooke began waving her hand in front of his face.
He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts. He bit the tip of his thumb, contemplating an idea in his head.
"Are you doing anything?...tonight?"
Brooke raised any eyebrow,
"Are you asking me out on a date?"
"If I say yes, you promise not to get cocky?" He joked, Brooke reached over to playfully slap his arm.
"No, I'm not doing anything tonight. What do you have in mind?"
"You'll see," Lucas glanced at his watch. It would be dark soon, he never cooked dinner for two people. Well there was that time when he spent a night with... never mind, "Would you mind if we head to the store? It's just lonesome ole' me in this house. My fridge contains baking soda and cheese. I need something edible for the lady." He said with a washed up southern accent.
"Yeah, of course."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brooke followed Lucas around the store like a stray puppy. When he'd walk to the left, she'd follow, 6 inches behind him. When he'd walk to the right, she'd follow. So much for time apart. But then again, 7 years was enough time apart. The two were in an aisle when Brooke noticed two teenage boys looking at her strangely, both with smirks on their faces. She furrowed her brow and brushed it off, turning back to Lucas, who was scanning the shelves. She turned her head and caught the boys, still staring at her. One blowing kisses at her, the other holding a box of condoms, pointing at the box, then pointing at her and himself.
"Luke?"
"Yes, Pretty Girl?"
The words made her all bubbly inside, she thought about questioning, but forgot all about it when she remembered the boys.
"Those kids over there keep checking me out." She said sarcastically, as she pointed behind her. Luke glanced over at the two.
"Huh, we'll just have to fix that wont we?"
Luke dropped the basket of food, and began to walk towards the boys. Brooke grabbed his arm,
"Luke, it's ok, really, they're just kids."
She looked over at them, one of them making a thrusting expression with his pelvis, the other rubbing his crotch.
"That's just gross." Luke stated. A chuckle came for Brooke's mouth. "I know what will make them go away." He said raising an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah? And whats that?"
Lucas locked eyes with her, as he took a step forward. Instinctively, she took a step back, bumping into the shelves. He placed his hand on a shelf near her head, as he moved in closer. Brooke's body began to shake when their bodies touched. Lucas moved his head down towards the crook of her neck. His lips brushing softly against her cheek. Her arms were covered with goosebumps.
"Play along." His breath was warm against her skin. His face was buried in her neck, He began nipping at her neck with his bottom lip. She gave out a little yelp, startled from his actions.
"Play along." So that's what he meant.
She placed her hands on his back as she ran them up and down. She let out several more yelps, trying to make it seem as real as possible. She began to bite his earlobe, as he pushed his body closer against hers. She slid her hands down to the rim of his shirt, lifting it up slightly, revealing his bare skin. She glance over at the boys, their eyes were opened awkwardly. She shut her eyes, the boys had already lost interest and left. They were replaced by an elderly couple. Lucas grabbed her thigh, lifting it up and settling it down at his waist. She opened her eyes to glance at them again. The elderly lady pointed at the two, as her husband strained his eyes through his glasses. Brooke pushed Lucas away, laughing loudly. Lucas turned his head, took one glance at the elderly couple and joined Brooke in laughter. Placing his forehead on her shoulder.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The incident at the store seemed to break the ice. The dinner was full of laughter, and talks about how their life was going.
"That was fun, at the store." Brooke chuckled.
"Yeah, It was like that summer all over again."
Brooke's smile faded, Luke noticed.
"We better get going."
"Oh, yeah. You forgot to tell me, where are we going?"
"I didn't forget, I just didn't tell you." He said with a smile. Brooke scrunched up her face and nodded at him, sticking her tongue out.
The ride was quiet, Brooke was too busy looking at all the places, to start a conversation. They passed the theater again, Lucas swallowed roughly. She leaned her head against the window, remembering all of the places they went, all the time they spent together.
"We're here."
Brooke looked out and saw nothing but plain fields. It seemed so familiar, she just couldn't put a finger on it. Lucas opened his door, and quickly ran over to Brooke's side, opening the door for her.
"Thank you very much Mr. Scott."
"You're very welcome Ms. Davis."
The sky was a light purple as the sun finally made its way over the horizon. In seconds, the sky was dark.
"Lucas? What are we doing out here?"
She turned to her side, where she thought Lucas was. She saw a figure moving in the shadows, it looked like it was flipping a switch. Seconds later bright lights were coming from behind her. She turned around, and there it was. The carnival. The place where they first met that one fateful night.
"Now do you remember?" The voice came from behind her, his warm breath traveling down her back. She turned around,
"They still have this here?" She asked in astonishment.
"Yep, they stopped here about a year ago and never left. I guess they were sick of traveling."
"Why didn't they just sell it? So at least someone could make money."
"They did," He fumbled with something in his pockets, a paper appeared. He opened it up, it was the lease, "I know it might be selfish, but I had a good time here that one night, I didn't want to share my memories with anyone. So I didn't open it to the public."
Her face was a blushing red, as she took a step towards the fair. The booths were dusty, but still intact.
"How'd you get enough money to buy this place?"
"I knew a guy, who knew a guy, who knew a guy," He simply responded, "Come on, I want to show you something."
He held his hand out, offering her to take it. Brooke hesitated as she looked down at it.
It couldn't hurt.
She reached her hand out, as he took it in her own.
Her skins as soft as I remember.
His hands are as warm as I remember.
Walking through the deserted park was peaceful. Neither of them had a care in the world. No one was there ruining the moment. No one screaming, running, talking, and most of all no fiance.
Lucas came to a hault, as he looked upwards. Brooke followed his gaze
Could it be possible? The place were they first had a conversation?
A smile came to her face, as he looked over her, then to the ground.
"Do you remember this?"
"Of course! Its the Ferris wheel."
"No, not that. This," He looked down at the ground. She shook her head, it was just dirt to her, but not to him, "This is the first place where my eyes met yours. Where we first spoke to each other. Where I asked you to dance."
Of course, It all came rushing back to her.
Lucas squeezed her hand gently as they made their way to the Ferris wheel.
"You're not going to jump on while its moving are you?"
Lucas smiled and shook his head.
"Nah, I'm going to do it the easy way this time."
He pulled the level, the lights upon the Ferris wheel lit up.
"After you." He said escorting her to a seat. Their seat.
The wheel started off slowly, as Lucas rushed to the seat. He buckled themselves in, as Brooke looked up at the night sky. It all brought back memories. The ride came to a slow hault,
"Whats happening?"
"Do you remember what happened here?" He asked in a gentle voice.
She let out a deep sigh, followed by a smile, "Of course."
The space between them was nonexistent, the seat had seemed to shrunk since the last time she was here. She shivered from the cold, as he removed his jacket and hung it from her shoulders. His arm was now resting on the back of the seat, as she looked over at him. He was staring out into the sky, but then turned his gaze back to her. Their eyes met, as he tilted his head down more, their lips inches away from each other. Their breaths mixing as one, Brooke's eyelids began to shut. They gave in to everything they had fought the last seven years. She raised her hand to his cheek, and moved forward. Having their lips finally touch.
