LUCAS' POV

I searched for Brooke all over San Francisco, but I can't find her anywhere. She couldn't have gone that far, could she? Suddenly, I remembered the one place she would go to. How come I never thought of that earlier?

"I knew you would be here," I said as I stood beside Brooke at the Fisherman's Wharf.

"Why are you here?"

"The hospital said that you left already. I planned on coming back, you know?"

"I know. You said that to me this morning."

"So why are you here?"

"Just to think. I miss you, Lucas."

"I miss you too Pretty Girl. I miss everything about you."

"But I still can't be with you."

"I know that too. I just don't understand why it's hard for you to give me chance. I changed Brooke, for you. Trust me, I'm choosing you."

"I'm going to give you a chance. But if you screw this up, you and me? We're done."

"Thank you. I'm willing to prove myself Brooke. I'll fight like hell just to have you back."

"You better will. I know you're the one for me Luke. I just need to see it from you."

"And you will."

"We'll see. I think I'm going to go."

"Right now? Where to?"

"I rented an apartment nearby."

"Well, I'm going with you."

"What?"

"I'll go with you. I'll help you arrange your apartment, move some stuff around, heck, you could make me your slave for the day for all I care. Just please let me come with you."

"If only you promise stay true to your promise that you'll be my slave," she said while creasing a smile.

"Yes Ma'am."

"Well then, let's go."

If this is the way we could be, then so be it. I'd rather be like this than be nothing at all. Right now, all I need is to be a part of her life and just know that she'll never be away from me again.

Brooke's Apartment

BROOKE'S POV

"That was so tiring," I said as I fell into my bed.

"I know. You have a lot of stuff, huh?" Lucas said as he fell on it too.

"That sucks for you 'cause you agreed to be my slave."

"It's still my pleasure to be one," he said as he propped his elbows, while looking at me.

"Remember when I used to live at your house with you mom and she asked me to do almost all of the chores," I said while facing him.

"Yeah…I do. I even remember I said that I'd do anything for you," he said while smirking at me.

"Yeah, you did. Thanks for staying with me Lucas. I know that I'm pushing you away, even though-" I said while tears are flowing freely down my face.

"Hey, hey, don't cry Pretty Girl. It's ok if you're pushing me away. I understand why you're doing that. I'm happy just being friends with you, at least I have you near me," he said while wiping my tears away.

"Thanks. I really appreciate you being there for me, even at times when I least expect you."

"Anything for you, Pretty Girl."

We both fell into silence. And the next thing I knew, our faces were a few inches away from each other. I could even smell the cologne he uses, the one which I love the most. I can't think straight right now! All I feel is the love I have for him.

A few minutes after, I realized that we are already kissing. My mind was flashing a "danger" sign. I know this is wrong. Even though this feels so good, this needs to stop right now! I pushed him with all my might and said,

"This is wrong, Lucas."

"I'm sorry Brooke. I shouldn't have done that. It's too soon."

"No, it's fine. I guess we were just caught up with the moment."

"I guess so too."

"I think you should go now. It's getting late and I see you're really beat."

"Yah…I'm going to go now."

"Ok...I'll walk you to the front door."

We were walking, looking like fools because of the smiles we have on our faces.

"Thanks for helping out again, Lucas." I said as we hugged each other.

"No problem. Just call me when you need anything, Cheery." Just the mere mention of my nickname sent butterflies on my stomach already.

"Sure thing, Broody."

He walked away, but turned around and asked,

"Hey Brooke, can we go out tomorrow night?"

"Sure."

"Ok, I'll pick you up at around 7:30 PM."

"Sounds good."

"It's a date then."

"You can count on that. Bye, Broody."

"Bye, Cheery."

I closed the door behind me and leaned on it. I have a date tomorrow night with Lucas!!!! I can't wait to see him again!!!!
