CHAPTER 14 - Remembering Who You Once Were
It'd been a month since Brooke and Lucas had first slept together, and four hours since they'd last slept together. They were becoming closer and closer everyday that passed but still both of them refused to admit any real feelings for each other, both of them refused to talk about exactly what it was they had together, whether they were actually a couple or whether they were just having some fun. They'd walk down the corridor hand in hand, in deep conversation, and everyone would always ask what was going on between the two, but again both of them were reluctant in there answer and would brush the question off. But, this wasn't because they didn't know the answer to the question, it was just because they were scared of saying anything in case the other didn't feel the same way. It was simple really, they both had the same fear, the fear of being rejected. Brooke laid out on the sofa in Lucas' dorm, the TV remote in one hand whilst she ran the other through her hair. She loved Sundays, know classes, know coursework, know nothing really. Sunday would be the day when her and Lucas would watch a few movies, order some food and just chill out. Lucas entered the front door of the dorm, the door that was always open on a Sunday as people would usually drop in and see them throughout the day, carrying breakfast and a few magazines. "Hey man" Nathan greeted Lucas as he exited his bedroom. Lucas gave his tired looking brother a quick nod before walking over to where Brooke was still laid, still in his pyjama bottoms and a tight white tank top, still in the place where she'd been half an hour ago when he'd left to pick up a few things for her
"Ok, Vogue, Cosmopolitan and US Weekly…" he listed the magazines he'd bought as he threw them down onto her lap "A raspberry jam bagel, a lightly toasted hash brown and there's cookie dough ice cream in the freezer" he told the smiling brunette
"Thank you baby" she replied, sweetly as she took her breakfast from his hand "Kiss" she pointed to her pouted lips before he had chance to walk back into the kitchen, he bent down and took her chin into his hands before kissing her gently on the lips and then walking into the kitchen area where Nathan was making some breakfast of his own
"You are totally under the thumb dude" Nathan patted his brother on the back before grabbing something from one of the cupboards "You know, I never thought
I'd see the day that my brother, the infamous Lucas Scott, run out to get breakfast for a girl he slept with the night before" Lucas chuckled at Nathan's words before walking over and seating himself next to Brooke on the sofa
"Awww, I think its sweet" Brooke cooed, before pulling the slightly embarrassed blonde towards her for a hug
"I think its desperate" Nathan responded but his words were ignored by the two, who were now in a passionate embrace and they didn't bother to stop when they heard Rachel at the open door
"You know watching this could be an alternative to sticking my fingers down my throat" Rachel quipped as she glared at Lucas and Brooke, who had now pulled apart
Brooke stood up and walked over to the kitchen to grab a drink, while Nathan went over and sat with Lucas on the sofa "You not have a place of your own to go?" Brooke asked Rachel as she passed her
"Not that has as good eye candy as here, no" the red head replied whilst looking seductively over at an unaware Lucas
Brooke rolled her eyes and shook her head "Just stay away from Lucas, alright" she warned with an angry tone
"Just as long as he stays away from me…" she said, like it was impossible for Lucas to resist her
"I don't think that will be a problem, you see class attracts Lucas….and that's something your definitely lacking" Brooke's sharp tongue won over Rachel's plain bitchiness "Now, if you don't mind…" she put the palm of her hand on the front door and gestured for Rachel to leave
"Don't think you've won Brooke, not yet" Rachel spat as she left the dorm, before Brooke slammed the door behind her
Rachel stood out in the corridor, her face a picture of pure hatred "Wow, you look pissed" a voice came from in front of her and she looked up to see Chris
Rachel's angry expression turned to one of mischief "Well, maybe you can change that" she told him "I've heard, like me, your not such a big fan of Brooke and Lucas' new relationship" she quoted relationship with her fingers
"What do you mean?" Chris asked, a little confused but equally as intrigued
"Its simple really. You want her, I want him…by splitting them up, we can both get what we want" Rachel put the suggestion forward to Chris, who smiled at the wickedness that would surely take over him and Rachel in the next few days

As the first morning bell rang through the halls of NCU, and the students began making there way tiredly to there lockers. Brooke opened hers up and began throwing books into the back of it, and before she could turn around she felt his warm breath on the back of her neck, the warm breath that made every hair on her body stand on end, not that she'd ever admit that to him.
As she felt him trailing kisses up and down her neck, it took every bone in her body to resist his advances, it took everything she had for her to play it cool "Someone's horny this morning" she groaned with pleasure, as she felt herself almost giving in
"Well, what do you expect looking like that" he whispered into her ear, as his hands ran down her waist and to her ass
Brooke leant her head on his shoulder as to give him an easier path to her lips "Looking like what?" she asked, as intensity filled the air around them
Lucas pulled back, and spun her around before looking her up and down "…Beautiful" he smiled, and walked back down the corridor he'd appeared from moments earlier. The air hitched in Brooke's throat, she'd expected his answer to be 'hot', 'fine' or 'fit', she'd expected his answer to be anything but 'beautiful'. Know one had ever referred to her as beautiful, but then she'd never been with anyone like Lucas, she was falling for him, she was falling hard and now she knew it
"You and Lucas look close" Chris' sly voice killed the excitement Brooke was feeling
The brunette turned to face him "Yeah…" she answered, before closing her locker and beginning to make her way to class
"Its kinda surprising really" Chris stopped her in her tracks "I mean, the way you guys started out" he knew what he was saying wasn't making any sense to her when he saw the confused expression on her face
"What do you mean?" Brooke asked, she was aware of Chris' power to stir things up but she still wanted to find out what he was talking about
"The bet…" he replied, like it was obvious, like he didn't know that Brooke wasn't aware "The bet me and Lucas had to see who could sleep with you first" Chris clarified his lie for Brooke, who didn't wait around to face more of Chris' smarminess. She turned and walked away back down the corridor, not wanting to believe Chris but still remebering who Lucas once was, still remembering his reputation.
