Sports Agent and Love Affairs

Chapter 5

Summary: Future eventual Brucas fic. However starts out as Leyton later then becomes Brucas. Brooke is fresh out of NYU and is a up and coming spots agent. Unrealistic I know, but its mine so shush. She has never met Luke and basically she fall for him even though he is her boss. And he starts to fall for her but they are too afraid to approach the other.

Disclaimer: I own nothing...except, Tom Welling, Jensen Ackles, Chad Michael Murray, and James Lafferty and, just for fun, Jared Padelecki. Oh and I forgot…pigs turned purple and grew wings yesterday! LOL. On with the story…

PLEASE READ AND REVIEW…..

Brooke walked behind the large oak desk in her new office. It was amazing. It was almost the same size as Lucas', but just a bit smaller. It had a leather couch on one side, a new black Dell on top of an expertly crafted oak desk, and the most comfortable rolly chair (as Brooke called them) ever.

As Brooke sat in her brand new desk chair she turned and brought her attention to the closed set blinds. She stood and walked over to the draw-string and found that the blinds had been concealing a beautiful view of the New York skyline. It was stunning, all the tall buildings, shinning in the light of the sun. And the way the sun sat behind some of the further away buildings was like something out of a movie.

Brooke was in such a daze that she didn't hear the young man who had walked into her office. That is until he brought he back to reality by knocking lightly on her desk, "Brooke?"

Assuming that it was Lucas, Brooke turned around, but less than happy about who she had come face to face with, "Jake?"

What the hell was Jake doing here? Hadn't he gotten the message when she dumped him during graduation? When he rounded her desk and attempted to hug her it was apparent he hadn't.

He sighed in frustration, "Brooke, come on. Can't we talk about this?"

Brooke kinked an eyebrow and looked at him curiously, "What is there to talk about? Huh, Jake? You cheated on me with my best friend, I caught you and then I dumped you. I think I covered all the basics. SO you can go now."

"Brooke, come on. I told you I was sorry. I made a mistake. It was an accident."

"Okay, F.Y.I, Jake. Running your car into a tree is an accident. Cheating on someone is a choice. Oh, and you don't make the same mistake almost everyday for six months!" Brooke could feel he anger level growing and if she didn't get him out of here soon, she cause a scene and she really didn't need that on her first day, "Jake, you really need to leave. Now."

He tried to step closer to her and put a hand to her arm, but she jumped away, before he could successfully touch her, "Brooke…I love you. I really want to work this out. I don't want to lose you. And you know you don't want to lose me."

Who the hell did he think he was? Who was he to tell her how she felt? She couldn't believe him, "Who are you to tell me what I want? And by the way, you can't lose what you never had." She walked over to the door and opened it and motioned for him to leave, but he stood still.

Before either of them could say anything, Lucas walked back in, "Hey, sorry about that, Brooke, but you know how family is right?" When Brooke didn't respond he followed her eyes over to Jake, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you there."

Brooke sighed and looked at Jake and made another motion for him to come over, this time he followed her direction and walked over.

Lucas smiled at the stranger and extended his hand, "Lucas Scott. Nice to meet you."

Jake just looked at his hand and shook his head, "Whatever." He brushed past Lucas and bumped his shoulder with his, kind of roughly, which caused Lucas to stumble back a bit. Then he turned back to Brooke, "We'll finish this later." With that he walked through the door and disappeared down the hallway.

Brooke turned her attention back to Lucas who was now holding his shoulder and looked down at her shoes and then back, "I'm really sorry about that."

Lucas stepped closer to Brooke and continued to hold his shoulder, "What was that about, Brooke?"

Brooke shook her head and sighed, "His name is Jake."

Lucas nodded slowly, but he was still looking for a little more than that, "Yeah, ok, but what was he doing here?"

"I don't know. We broke up like two months ago, but he just keeps refusing to let go. Or move on. It just seems funny though, because he didn't seem to have that problem during our relationship."

Lucas looked at her with a confused look plastered across his face, "What do you mean?"

Brooke took a deep breath before speaking, "We dated for two years. And for a year and a half of that he cheated on me with random girls and for the last six months we were together he…started seeing my...best friend."

Lucas couldn't believe what he had just heard. How could someone cheat on a girl like Brooke? It didn't seem right. Sure, he had only know her for three days, but she seemed like a real genuine person. Lucas could tell she was getting upset so he said the first thing that came to mind, "Well he's an idiot." When Brooke looked up he thought she didn't appreciate that last comment so he quickly tried to recover, "I'm sorry. I don't mean to judge or criticize your taste in guys, but I just don't see why he would do that to you."

Brooke let a small smile lip across her lips, "It's ok. I just…it's hard to think about it. I mean it's not so much him, because he's a guy, I expect it from them." When Lucas cleared his throat Brooke laughed, "From most of them. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that my best friend betrayed me like that. It is so hard to-" Brooke looked up and realized she was sharing a bit more than she had intended to, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to go all after school special on you."

Lucas smiled, "It's okay. It's not good to keep all of this stuff inside. Come on." He gently grabbed her hand and led her to the couch and sat her down. He sat beside her and looked at her expectantly.

Brooke took this as her cue to go on, "Since before I can remember, Rachel, my best friend, had been…well my best friend. She was always the only person I could ever go to for help or depend on. We were friends for 18 years. We had experienced so much together. And then to find out she put a guy, my boyfriend, before our friends, it hurts. It hurts to know that she could just forget about me like that. How could she turn her back on me that easily?" By now the tears were freely falling from Brooke's eyes.

Without thinking, Lucas pulled her to him and just held her and let her cry into his chest. He didn't care that this was wrong on some level and that he was her employer and she was his employee. At that moment he just wanted to hold her, make her pain go away, but he knew he couldn't. All he could o was hold her. And to be honest, that's all he wanted to do.
