Chapter 6 – Dinner Date
The Tree Hill gang and the Manhattan Elite had ended up falling asleep in Chuck's suite that night, so when the girls finally woke up the next morning there was blind panic. They were behind schedule for the days shopping trip and Blair hated being behind schedule. Brooke and Blair had invited Haley to come along on their shopping trip while Nathan and Mouth hung out with the rest of the boys for the day.
The girls had been shopping for a couple of hours and had just entered Bloomingdales before Haley decided to bring up Serena.
"I don't know Hales, but that bitch is dead." Brooke answered Haley when she had asked her what she planned to do.
"Don't do anything rash Brooke. I mean what she did was definitely wrong, but I'm glad she did it. I've missed you." Brooke smiled and pulled Haley into a hug.
"Yeah me too...kind of. I mean I'm glad you, Nate and Mouth are here but I could of done without Pucas and it being my party."
"I second that." Blair joined in as she looked for the pair of black heels she was currently holding in a bigger size. Brooke picked up a pair of brown boots in her size and sat down to try them on.
"I'll just talk to her at school on Monday and take it from there."
"Fine. Just don't punch her," Blair added sitting next to her cousin. "I don't want you to get kicked out of school. You've actually made it bearable." Haley chuckled at her statement and sat down next to Brooke.
"She didn't!" Sam exclaimed from where he was sat. Nathan chuckled and nodded his head.
"She did. It was one hell of a catfight." The boys laughed at Nathan's story of Brooke at one of last year's parties. "Yeah she's come a hell of a way that Brooke Davis." Mouth nodded in agreement.
"So have you and Haley decided on a date for the wedding yet?" Chuck asked. The night before, Naley had given Brooke the happy news that they were getting married again and the two teens had invited the whole gang to attend.
"Not yet but we'll send you guys an invite as soon as we know."
"I can't believe it man. I mean you're not even seniors yet and you're married." Dean said in awe. Nathan just shrugged his shoulders.
"What can I say? Love makes you do the crazy."
After a very tiresome shopping trip, the girls returned to find the boys sprawled across Chuck's suite playing on the X-Box. Soon after, the nine of them climbed into Chuck's limo and went to the airport so Nathan, Haley and Mouth could go back home. After a twenty minute long tearful goodbye courtesy of Brooke and Haley, Blair, Chuck, Brooke, Nate, Dean and Sam left the airport and returned to Chuck's.
Monday rolled around too quick for Brooke's liking. It was now lunch and no one had seen Serena all day. Deciding it was a lost cause, Brooke headed to the steps to meet Blair and the boys. When she got there only Chuck and Sam were present.
"What are you two boys talking about?" Brooke asked as she sat down between the two.
"Nothing." The two answered together. Brooke looked at them with her eyebrows raised.
"Uh huh...sure. Where is everyone?"
"No idea. They'll turn up sooner or later." Chuck responded. The three soon began chatting about their day so far until a long black limo pulled up not far away. Chuck swore under his breath as the one and only Bart Bass stepped out onto the pavement and headed in their direction.
"I thought your dad was on a business trip?" Sam asked.
"He was. He got back a couple of days ago. I haven't spoken to him yet though." Chuck stood up as Bart approached and placed a fake smile on his face. "Father, to what do I owe the pleasure?"
"Charles," Bart acknowledged his son and looked at the two teens sat down close by. "You never told me Brooke was here." Chucked rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Haven't had the chance. We haven't really spoken lately have we?" Bart ignored his son's remark and stepped in front of Brooke with a rare smile on his face.
"Brooke Davis, it's good to see you." Brooke stood up and smiled at the man.
"Mr. Bass, how are you?" Bart laughed, which confused both Chuck and Sam. It was a known fact that Bart Bass was always serious and cold hearted, so seeing the man smile and laugh within the space of a minute was very unnatural.
"Please call me Bart; we've known each other too long to be formal Brooke. I see you're attending school here, I suppose you're living with Eleanor Waldorf?"
"Yeah. Needed a change of scenery and all that. Tree Hill gets boring after a while." Brooke lied with ease.
"Well, I came here to ask Charles to come for dinner tonight; I would be delighted if you would attend as well." A look of panic quickly crossed Brooke's face as she glanced at Chuck who was looked as if he was trying not to laugh.
"I'd be delighted Bart." Brooke replied with a fake smile plastered on her beautiful face.
"Fantastic." Bart turned toward his son, his smile suddenly gone. "I'm leaving for another business trip tomorrow but I wanted to talk to you about something before I left. The limo will pick you and Brooke up at seven." Before Chuck had time to respond, Bart had turned his back and began walking toward the limo. Chuck sat back down and laughed at Sam's confused look.
"Okay, what just happened? Bart Bass laughed. Laughed!"
"That my friend is the power of Brooke Davis."
"Was it just me, or did it seem like he had a thing for her?" Brooke's eyes widened in horror before she slapped the youngest Winchester's arm.
"Sammy don't be gross!" Chuck laughed at the two before answering.
"That's just wrong Sam. Besides, my Dad is always like that around Brooke. Ever since we were little."
Dean, Nate and Blair arrived hearing the last part of Chuck's statement.
"What are you three on about?" Blair asked sitting next to Sam.
"The fact that Brooke's got a date with Bart Bass tonight." Sam joked. Blair and Nate laughed but Dean just looked confused.
"It is not a date! Chuck's going to be there too."
"Both of the Bass men Brooke? Who knew you were such a hoe." Blair teased, making everyone laugh apart from Brooke.
"I hate you all, you know that?"
Brooke had decided to head to class early seeing as Sam, Nate and Blair kept teasing her about Bart. Wrapped up in her thoughts, Brooke didn't notice the blonde freshman that came speeding round the corner before it was too late.
"I am so sorry Brooke! Here let me help you." Jenny Humphrey bent down to help pick up Brooke's books.
"Don't worry about it, I wasn't paying attention." Brooke looked up for the first time and smiled at the girl. "Jenny Humphrey right?" Jenny blushed and nodded in response, handing Brooke her books and standing up.
"I'm really sorry."
"I told you, don't worry about it. Hey I didn't see you at the party on Friday, did you go?"
"Yeah but I was a little late. It took me ages to find you and when I did you... ran off." Brooke grimaced and nodded.
"Oh that. Sorry, I had some...unexpected visitors."
"Yeah I know, it's all over Gossip Girl." Brooke sighed and rolled her eyes, she really hated that blog.
"Well I better get to class; I'll see you around Jenny. Maybe we can hang out sometime."
"Really?" Jenny asked sounding hopeful.
"Sure. I'll catch ya later." With that Brooke walked off leaving Jenny stood in the middle of the hallway looking gobsmacked.
Dean Winchester walked into the Waldorf residence after being let in by Derrota. Brooke walked downstairs and looked confused when she saw Dean.
"What are you doing here?"
"It's great to see you to Brooke." Dean replied mockingly. Brooke rolled her eyes and sat down in one of the chairs.
"Sorry I was expecting Chuck, but what are you doing here?"
"Blair invited us round, but Sammy still busy doing his homework like a good little boy." Brooke laughed and grabbed her shoes.
"You look beautiful Brooke." Dean said as he looked her up and down. Brooke smiled looking down at the red dress she was wearing. Brooke had designed it herself and had only finished making it the day before.
"Thanks Dean."
"I'm sure Bart will be pleased." Dean laughed at Brooke's scowl.
"Not funny Winchester." Dean shrugged his shoulders and sat down.
"I thought it was." Dean turned his head as he heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
"Is Sam still doing homework?" Blair asked approaching the two.
"Of course. He should be here soon though. Where's Nate?"
"On his way." Blair turned to Brooke and smiled. "That dress is gorgeous Brooke. I think you should make me one, you know before you get all famous I have to pay for your designs."
"You will never have to pay for my designs Blair." Brooke laughed.
Five minutes later, Chuck Bass strolled into the room and him and Brooke left for the restaurant. Twenty minutes later they arrived at their destination to find Bart Bass waiting for them outside.
"I'm glad you could make it Brooke, you look stunning."
"Thanks Bart. You don't look too bad yourself." She replied winking at him. Chuck tried to hold back a laugh but to no avail. If Bart noticed, he decided to ignore his son's reaction.
"We will be joined by a few other people during dinner tonight." Bart explained as the three walked into the building and came to a stop in front of a table where three people were already sat; Lilly, Eric and Serena Van Der Woodsen. Chuck looked from the table to Brooke to his father. This can not be good.
