CHAPTER 13 - Kindness In Someone You Claimed To Hate

Neither Brooke nor Lucas could put a finger on when things had changed between them, neither of them knew when exactly their hatred for each other had turned to passion, or even if they had really hated each other to begin with. The only thing that they did know was that whatever they now felt for each other was right, it somehow seemed to fit, it worked for them and right now that was all that mattered. For the first time since the trip began Brooke and Lucas had actually offered to sleep on the sofa bed, knowing that tonight was going to be there last night in the R.V. as they would be driving back to college tomorrow morning, ready for the new term on Monday.

Brooke began taking her jewellery off and placing it on the table next to the sofa bed whilst Lucas made himself a drink in the kitchen "Would you get me a glass of water?" Brooke asked Lucas, before switching the main light off and putting the bedside lap on. Lucas filled a mug up with some water from the water purifier, knowing that Brooke wouldn't drink from the tap. He then walked over to where she was standing and handed it to her "What no argument?…no witty remark?" she questioned a little confused at how Lucas did as she had requested with no quarrel

"Nope…" he walked back into the kitchen, and put a few pots into the cupboards

"You must have it real bad" she joked, but deep down she really did want to know if he did actually hold any real feelings for her

Lucas switched the kitchen light out and walked over to the sofa bed, where Brooke was still stood sorting through some stuff "Or maybe I'm just done with fighting" he said in all seriousness whilst he placed a hand on her hip to nudge past her

Brooke's body turned as he brushed past her "Yeah, right" she slurred in disbelief

Lucas lifted his t-shirt over his head "Or maybe I just like the alternative a lot better" he grinned mischievously, before getting under the sheets of the sofa bed

Brooke then laid down next to him, her head rested on her arm as she faced him "And, what exactly is the alternative?" Brooke narrowed her eyes as she looked at him, she knew exactly what the alternative was, she just liked to tease him. Lucas moved his head closer to hers, before kissing her lips gently to start with before the kiss got more passionate "Nah, I think I prefer arguing" she whispered after pulling her head away from his slightly

"You know your pretty hard to resist til you open you mouth" Lucas taunted her before touching his nose with hers

Brooke pretended to look offended before straddling Lucas "Then I guess…I should…stop opening…my mouth" she told him slowly, whilst moving her head closer to his

Lucas tried to kiss her once more, but this time she wasn't taking part and instead kept her mouth closed just like she'd said she would "Funny" sarcasm filled his voice "Hard to get, big mouth and a bad sense of humour…" he listed her faults, whilst she still laid on top of him "It's not surprising that you don't have a boyfriend"

Brooke rolled her eyes "You really know how to turn a girl on don't you?" it was meant as rhetorical question but she already knew that he'd find an answer

"I got you in the sack, didn't I?" he told her like he had never been more proud

"Took you long enough" she scoffed, as they both felt the intensity building between them

Lucas pulled her head down to his "I didn't know you'd been waiting" he said, just as Brooke let out a groan of pleasure before there lips locked together once again

Lucas and Nathan had packed up, said there goodbyes and started the long journey back to college. After 15minutes they'd got stuck in traffic, which of course Brooke moaned to Lucas about, like it was actually his fault, or like he could actually do something about it. But, by now he'd gotten used to Brooke's attitude, and her spoilt mannerisms, he'd actually grown quite fond of them. Except for taking time to whine at Lucas a little, Brooke had spent most of her time with Peyton on the way back, and after they dropped Peyton back off at there aunt's house, Brooke had made herself comfy in the passengers seat, taking the map from Haley and shoving her out of the way.

Brooke's face crumpled as she focused on what Lucas was pointing at on the map whilst they waited at a red light "We already took that turning like a half hour ago" she told him, like he was stupid

"No, we didn't. We took a right at junction 32" Lucas informed her, half of his focus on her and half of it on the cars in front of him, which had not yet moved

"Babe, we took a right at 34!" Brooke replied, still quite calm. She knew she wasn't wrong, Brooke Davis was never wrong

"Really?" Lucas diverted his eyes towards the road sign that had just come into view, the road sign that had junction 34 written on it, the road sign that proved Brooke was wrong. Brooke inched down in her seat coyly "Gimme the map" Lucas demanded before holding his hand out, as the traffic started to move

"No…" she pulled it out of his reach "I can do it"

Lucas smiled at her child like behaviour "Baby, you don't have a clue" he told her politely but still with a grin. Brooke dramatised her offence to Lucas' words, which he pretended to ignore "Map…now!" he held his hand out once again. But, his focus was soon on something else as he caught a glimpse of a short, dark haired guy in the distance and his face immediately turned to rage as he realised it was Wayne. Brooke turned to the spot were Lucas' eyes had become fixed and just as Lucas pulled the R.V. up and began making his way out, she realised who it was he'd been looking at

"Lucas…" she yelled after him, as he stormed out of the door "Please don't" she began running after him, but his strides were to big to keep up with "Luke!" she shouted once again, as she saw him reach Wayne

Lucas grabbed the collar of Wayne's shirt and pushed up against the wall "You twisted son of a bitch" he roared before punching him as hard as he possibly could in the face, splitting his lip open

"Lucas! He's not worth this" Brooke screamed as she neared them and saw them fighting up against the wall, not knowing what to do "Nathan!…quick!" she called over to where she saw Nathan exiting the trailer, obviously wondering why they'd stopped. As Nathan saw what was going on he soon ran past Brooke and began breaking up the brawl

"What the hell is wrong with you?!!" Wayne didn't understand why he'd been attacked until he saw Brooke walking over

"Let's go" she whispered, tugging on Lucas' sleeve, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the shell of a guy in front of him "Please…" she tugged harder this time, causing him to spin round and face her "Luke, please" she requested once again, knowing that Wayne deserved to be hit but also knowing that it would only get Lucas into trouble. Lucas looked at Wayne, and then back at Brooke before nodding his head in agreement to her words and slowly walking by her. The brunette glanced back at Wayne with a look of disgust before following behind Lucas and Nathan and back into the R.V.

After arriving back at the dorms, Lucas and Nathan had unloaded all the suitcases from the R.V. and carried them to the girls dorms, and then Lucas had left them to unpack, something he knew he wouldn't bother doing for a while, if ever. Nathan had agreed to stay at over at Haley's dorm that night, thus leaving Lucas on his own to watch the football game. Football wasn't really Nathan's thing, he was more into basketball.

Lucas sat at the counter in the kitchen of his dorm, eating his lunch and watching TV when Brooke entered. She walked up behind him and put her arms around his neck before kissing his cheek "Hey you" she greeted him

Lucas didn't turn to face her "Please be Pamela Anderson" he closed his eyes as pretended to wish

"Better" Brooke replied in that raspy voice he loved so much "Brooke Davis"

Lucas thought for a moment "Nope, don't remember her" he teased still with his back to her

"Then let me refresh your memory" she brought his head round to her lips and began kissing him

"No, still don't know" he pushed for more

Brooke rolled her eyes "Don't push it" she gave him a sexy look before turning and grabbing something from the fridge

Lucas grabbed her hand and brought her body closer to his "So, you staying here tonight?" he asked

"That depends on whether your gonna keep me up all night?" she kinked her eyebrow

"Would it matter if I did?" he flirted back, as the sexual tension between them rose

Brooke cooled off lightly "I have a fashion presentation that has to be in tomorrow morning" she smiled at him, before walking round to the other side of the counter to munch on some of the pizza he was eating

Lucas swung round on the stool to face her once again "So…ill help you prepare" he offered, which she agreed to with a cheeky smile "As long as I don't have to wear bra's and dresses and stuff" he looked worried as he spoke. Brooke put the palm of her hand on the side of his cheek, and looked into his eyes, not believing that Lucas Scott had actually offered to help her with something, the same Lucas Scott that she'd claimed to despise just weeks ago.
