She was still in awe from what had happened. So used to being confident, Brooke could reduce her to a shaky mess with just one touch.
And she wouldn't have it any other way. The way Brooke looked at her and the words she whispered in her ear. She knew that the feeling
was mutual. It had to be.
Rachel lightly made imaginary circles on her stomach. She brought the hand that was free and stroked her thumb against her cheek.
"Brooke." she whispered as she brought her face closer to hers,placing a soft kiss against Brooke's forehead. The brunette stirred slightly letting one of her arms fall to her side before gliding it along Rachels back pulling her closer. Rachel grinned as she felt her lips brush off the crook of her neck and placed another kiss on her forehead pulling her as close as humanly possible.
She looked around the room, so many thoughts racing in and out of her mind.
"Hey you." Her soft voice brought Rachel back to reality.
she looked down and met her brown orbs "Hey, gorgeous."
Brooke just smiled and kept her eyes locked on Rachels. She wasn't sure what had just happened. Well, she was but what was happening right now.
Normally she never wanted to stay but this time she did. She knew that she really didn't want to leave the embrace she was currently in with Rachel.
Turning her head to the side Rachel smiled. "You ok?"
"Mhm." Brooke answered as she traced her finger down the redheads nose making her smile even wider "You?"
She smiled "Yeah."
Rachels eyes locked on Brookes as her thumb caressed her cheek. Brooke gave her a dimply smile, gazing into her eyes, making her feel like the richest girl in the world. The brunette wrapped her arms around her neck and Rachel kissed the top of her head. No words had passed for a while they both just lay in each others arms reeling from what had happened.
All these thoughts were running in and out of Brooke's head. No less than a week ago she was sure that things would never get better got her. Being with Rachel.
She didn't need to worry about all of that stuff. All the bad things just left her. It had to be to good to be true. Maybe for Rachel it was just another hook up.
Don't get your hopes up she thought to herself.
Rachel smiled as Brooke placed a single kiss on her lips. She untangled their legs, smiling as she felt Brooke's fingers smoothing over her skin. Leaning in the brunette placed a another light kiss on her lips. Rachel gently nuzzled her neck which dragged a small giggle from her.
Turning serious grabbing at Rachels shoulder she whispered in her ear "I want you closer."
OTH
Basketball practice was always hetic. There was the whole team running up and down like crazy taking the orders of the coach and then there the cheerleaders at the other end of the gym hall taking the orders off of Rachel. Brooke was the captain but since her accident Whitey decided that she was no way well enough to teach them. Normally she would make a fuss about it but this time she didn't care she just sat on the bleachers her head in the clouds. Running over to her Bevin grinned.
"Rachels good at this."
Smiling Brooke looked at her friend and raised her eyebrow causing Bevin to shake her head "Not as good as you of course."
Brooke just giggled and looked over at Rachel who was busy showing all of the girls cheers. She was so lost in the moment looking at Rachel that she didn't even hear Bevin talking.
"So I was cooking and guess what Skillz told me?" She sighed when she realized that she was paying no attention to her what so ever "Brooke!"
Comming out of her thoughts she bit her lip hoping that her friend hadn't noticed her stare at the redhead "Sorry, what?"
Luckily for her this was Bevin. As much as she liked her she wasn't the sharpest girl in the world so it was pretty safe to say that Brooke was alright "Guess what skillz told me when I was cooking?"
"There isn't enough salt in this?"
laughing Bevin shook her head "No, he told me that Lucas was acting weird."
Hating even hearing his name she sighed "He is always weird."
"I know but it was different this time, he kept telling Skillz that he was going to get them."
"Get who?" Brooke asked with a raised brow.
"I don't know, he came back from the river court and was acting so weird."
She nodded then her eyes widened as Bevins words sunk in "Wait, the river court?"
Bevin nodded.
This wasn't good. Brooke stoop up suddenly "Fuck."
Trust Lucas to be there. It was just her luck, it couldn't have happened to anyone else.
"Are you ok?" Bevin asked concerned.
Not answering her Brooke just quickly got out of the gym, seeing this Rachel frowned "Take ten!" She shouted from behind her shoulder as she ran to catch up with Brooke "Brooke wait up!"
Turning around Brooke smiled "Hey."
"Whats wrong?" The red head asked concered, putting her arm on Brookes shoulder.
Brooke didn't want to worry her, she would deal with Lucas herself. Rachel didn't need to know about this."Nothing, I was just getting some air." She lied with a small smile.
"Ok, I'll come with you." Rachel smiled.
Flasing her dimples the brunette smiled as Rachel linked her arm with hers.
Watching from the side of the school, Lucas curled his fists in anger as he watched the two girls sitting on one of the benches, giggle and whisper things in each others ear, stealing small kisses.
"Hey Lucas whats going down, ohh." Skillz said as he grinned "Would you look at that."
Lucas let out a frustrated sigh "I can't believe it."
Skillz shrugged "I dunno man, I mean it's not like I expected it, but I'm not suprised by it."
"I'm going to kill them."
"Look man, just clam down" Skillz said to his friend as he looked at the two girls "Just leave it."
"I can't let this go." Lucas muttered under his breath.
Sighed he shook his head "They aren't doing anything wrong."
"They are kissing!" Lucas shouted shaking his head "Brooke is my girlfriend."
"Are you tripping? You and Brooke broke up man, what the fuck is going on with you?"
Shooting a look at his friend Lucas sighed "Whatever."
"Lets just get out of here, come back to mine or something we shouldn't be watching."
Nodding slowly Lucas turned around before taking one long last look at them. He knew that the thing that hurt Brooke the most was getting to the people she cared about. Smirking to himself he pulled away. Knowing what he had to do, it was only a matter of time before he did it.
