Okay, so this is the new chapter… Hope you'll like it, major drama. Let's go, onto the story…
------------
"I have a good news for you Lucas. You can go home." The doctor said with a smile.
Lucas was relived, he smiled just like Karen and Brooke who were standing next to him. Ten days had past since his heart attack, he was so glad to finally go out of here. The hospital room was really getting on his nerves. And even if Brooke had taken care of the decoration with flowers and pictures, it never felt like home. Brooke held Lucas's hand and entwined her fingers with his.
"Thank you doctor." He said.
The doctor nodded and said: "Even if you are out of here you still have to rest, to take your medicines, to be careful with what you eat, no junk food, no sodas, of course no alcohol or cigarettes. Basically, all you can do is lay in your bed, sit on your couch, eat salad, drink water and take your medicines, all this during one week."
Lucas nodded, he didn't care if he couldn't eat what he wanted or drink what he wanted as long as he was at home.
"And, one of the more important thing, no activities that could speed up your heart beat. No basket ball, no jogging…" He continued looking at Lucas and then he looked at Brooke and said: "No fooling around with you, young lady."
Brooke blushed and Lucas winced. That was going to be the hardest rule to follow. He was dying to spend some time alone with Brooke.
"You can go for a walk on the beach for example, but nothing more intense than that." He finished.
Lucas reluctantly nodded and said: "Okay."
"Well, you know everything, you're free to go home. But please Lucas, don't play with your condition, just take things slowly and everything will be back to normal in a matter of time." The doctor added before shaking hands with him.
Lucas nodded again and thanked him before he left the room.
------------
"Here are the rules…" Karen started as Lucas and Brooke got into the house.
Lucas sighed and said: "Mom, the doctor already explained everything, you don't have to explain it again."
"And you will follow them and you will the follow the rules of living under my roof too." She replied.
Lucas nodded and Karen started: "Brooke is going to move in the guest room. Of course you won't be sharing the same room. So, no sneaking in the other room in the middle of the night and you won't be sharing the bathroom in the mornings. Also, no parties during the week and you'll ask for permission during the week ends. Am I clear?"
Both of them nodded, Lucas was looking down but Brooke was smiling, she was really happy to live under Karen's roof again. She hugged her and thanked her.
She took Lucas's hand and said, dragging him to his room: "Come on, let's go to your room and have some rest."
Once they entered the room, Lucas laid down on the bed and Brooke closed the door.
"This is so great." She exclaimed, clapping her hands together. Then she realized that Lucas wasn't looking so good. She laid down next to him and said: "What's on your mind Broody?"
"All the things the doctor said, all those rules…" He replied with a sighed.
"But you are okay with me living here right?" She asked, worried.
Lucas smiled and said: "Of course I'm okay with that, it's just that you are too much temptation, and there is too much rules."
She straddled him, looked into his eyes and said: "We'll make it work."
She kissed him and he said: "God Brooke, don't do that."
"Do what?" She asked.
"That, the kiss, everything." He said.
"Come on, it's just a small kiss on the lips and we are fully clothed, is that turning you on?" She asked.
Lucas bit his lower lip and nodded. He looked at her in the eyes and said: "I can't help it, you're too sexy."
He sat up on the bed and locked his arms around her waist, their lips met into a passionate kiss.
Suddenly Brooke broke apart and exclaimed: "I can't believe you're doing this." She get up and walk away from him.
"Doing what?" It was is turn to ask.
"Being all cute and charming and telling me nice things to trick me in your bed." She said.
"That was just an innocent kiss." He tried to defend himself.
"Right, innocent kiss… the thing is, I know you too well and I know what you want when you kiss me like this." She explained.
Lucas sighed but smiled at her, giving her his best look and said: "Alright, you got me. Ever since you came to see me at the hospital, I wanted to make love to you, because I love you so much that the only thing I want is to be with you."
Brooke smiled and approached the bed slowly.
"You are so beautiful, I'll never get enough of you, your body, your skin." He added.
She almost reached the bed and Lucas smiled, she was about to give in, she was melting hearing his words. She sat on the bed next to him, she was about to say something but he kissed her first. Once again she broke the kiss and said: "This is sooo wrong."
She stormed out of the room leaving a desperate Lucas in his bed.
His cell phone rang, it was Brooke. He picked it up and she only said: "Just have a cold shower Lucas and stop torturing yourself thinking about things you can't do until a whole week."
She hung up and Lucas said out loud: "You are driving me crazy Brooke Davis!"
He let out a huge sighed and lay back on his bed, looking at the ceiling. He couldn't take Brooke out of his mind. He decided to read a book to change his mind. As he was reading, his mind was no longer playing games about his girlfriend, he was totally lost in the story now. Until Brooke knocked on his door, wrapped in a towel, hair in a ponytail and told him: "Since you're not using the bathroom, I'll use it. Hum…A nice hot shower…"
As she walked to the bathroom, she smiled to herself, she knew she was teasing him but it felt good. It felt good to have him back.
Lucas sighed, Brooke was back on his mind. He tried to go back to his book but he couldn't read anymore, he was thinking about her. He decided to put some music on and to drift to sleep. To have a nap that was the best thing to do.
------------
When Brooke went off of the bathroom after spending 30 minutes under the hot water, she walked towards Lucas's room. She had the idea of lying in bed with before dinner or simply to convince him to get in the couch and watch TV with her. She smiled to herself at the thought of cuddling in his strong arms.
She stopped at the doorway of his room and she froze when she saw him hugging Peyton tightly. She stopped breathing. It was just like in her worse nightmares, she wasn't able to move or talk, she just watched, helpless.
"Call me sometimes so we can hang out. I miss you." Peyton said, looking at Lucas.
"I miss you too…" Lucas replied.
This was too much for Brooke, she fought tears back, took a deep breath and walked to her room. Lucas and Peyton never noticed her.
"But… there's Brooke you know… I love her so much. I don't want to hurt her again anymore." Lucas continued. That was what Brooke needed to hear, but she probably never would.
"It's not that I don't want to hang out with you anymore, it's just that we should take things slow for Brooke." Lucas finished.
"Yeah, you're right. I know I hurt the girl pretty bad but I still care about her. Can't help who you love huh?" She told him with a smile.
"Can't help who you love." Lucas repeated with a nod.
"Bye Luke. Take care." Peyton said as she opened the door.
"Thanks Peyton. Bye." He replied.
She got out and closed the door, they both were sad. Peyton was sad because she couldn't see the guy she was in love with anymore and Lucas was sad because it was breaking his heart to know that Peyton was sad and alone, he knew that she needed him to go through what was happening in her life. He waited for a few minutes and decided to go see what his girlfriend was doing. He walked in her room and saw her putting clothes in a bag.
"Hey pretty girl." He said as he walked behind her and held her in his arms, inhaling the sweet scent of her hair.
"Lucas, please, stop." She said as she continued to pack.
"Hey, what's going on?" He asked as he stepped away from her.
"You tell me." She stated. She turned to face him and put her hands on her hips, waiting for him to say something.
"The water turned cold in the middle of your shower?" He joked.
She sighed loudly, shook her head in disbelief and went back to her packing.
"Come on Brooke, tell me what got into you." He said.
She turned again to face him and laughed bitterly.
"What got into me?" She asked.
"Or is it more like what got into you? Something like Peyton?" She asked, raising an eyebrow and pointing at him with her finger.
"She just came to say hi!" Lucas defended himself.
"Really? Because from what I've heard it was about her missing you and wanting to hang out with you. And you know what's worst? You telling her that you're missing her as well. And this is hurting Lucas, this is really hurting." She explained with tears rolling down her cheeks, she was mad at him. She was desperate, she didn't know what to do, what to feel. She trusted Lucas but she was tired of having to struggle everyday about her feelings.
"I'm going to go back in my hotel room so you guys can hang out and stop missing each other." She finished and then she grabbed her bag and walked out of the room.
"Wait, Brooke. Wait." He told her as he grabbed her arm in the hallway to stop her.
"Listen, it's true that I told her that I'm missing her but you didn't hear the whole speech. I also told her that I couldn't hang out with her because I don't want to hurt you again." He explained.
She looked at him in the eyes and said: "You see that's too bad because it looks like you just hurt me again." With that, she turned and stormed out of the house.
