It's the Differences that Matter
Chapter 4
Morning After
"Davis jets into Milan for premiere of her new movie 'Denial'"
"Davis, guest judge, 'Project Runway'"
"Davis to host MTV Awards?"
Brooke furrowed her eyebrows as she opened her eyes 'how the hell did I get in the TV room?' she went to stretch but her arm was blocked by another more masculine arm, and that's when everything came back to her. She smiled at the memory of her time with Lucas yesterday yet couldn't help but feel that it was all moving so fast. Feeling Lucas's breath on her neck, she swivelled around to face him. His hair was a mess as it stuck out in all directions but his face looked so peaceful she couldn't help but reach out and peck him lightly on the lips. Lucas's eyes fluttered open and he smiled
"Hey you" Brooke whispered in her signature raspy voice, making Lucas smile wider
"Hey... Did I fall asleep?"
"We both did" He reached up to rub his eyes before flashing her a goofy smile
"I slept on a couch with Brooke Davis last night, Haley's going to love this" Brooke chuckled, pushing him back slightly
"Shutup" She growled playfully, sitting up on the couch. Something vibrated and Brooke's head snapped back to Lucas, she kinked her eyebrow "Someone's excited this morning" Lucas gave her a sarcastic look before delving into his pocket to receive his phone
"Speak of the devil" he quipped before pressing the 'answer' button and putting the phone to his ear "Hey Haley, listen, I'm kinda busy so unless-" his eyes flashed with what seemed like surprise and he sat up on the couch "Wait... How did you-" Another flash of surprise, Brooke chuckled, standing up to signal that he should follow her into the kitchen. She took a seat on one of the tall stools and watched Lucas as he leaned against the island, absorbed in his conversation. "I'm with her now.... NO! Haley, I did not sleep with her" Brooke chuckled again as Lucas rolled his eyes "We just talked and fell asleep...." He paused "Why do you want to talk to her?" Brooke's eyes flashed, she had heard all about Lucas's brother and his best friend Haley, she defiantly wouldn't mind speaking to one of them "Hales, this isn't exactly a great time..." Brooke held her hand out
"Hand it over" She whispered, flashing him a playful smiled
"Hold on" Lucas spoke into the phone before covering the mouth piece and turning to Brooke "Are you sure?" Brooke shrugged
"Why not?"
"She's like a celeb maniac, and a huge fan... she might go a little nuts"
"Always nice to talk to a fan" Lucas sighed in defeat, dropping his hand from the phone
"Okay Hales, here she is" He handed Brooke the phone before mouthing 'Good Luck' Brooke shook her head at him before putting the phone to her ear
"Hello?"
"OOOOOOHHH MYYYY GODDD!!!" Brooke pulled her ear away from the phone as Lucas gave her an 'I told you so' look "IS This really Brooke Davis!?!?!?! Deb told me she met you and I was SOOO jealous!!" Brooke giggled slightly, she understood how people had a fascination about celebrities, she had had the same thing before she got into the 'business' but it was still hard to get over the fact that people actually had an interest in her daily life and meeting her. Having fans is not a thing you get used to easily. "I'm such a fan!!! The East is my favourite movie ever!!! And don't even get me started on Denial!!!"
"Thankyou! It's always nice to hear compliments about your work"
"Well your amazing"
"WOW Hales, your going to give me a complex" Somewhere on the other end of the phone she could here Haley whisper 'She just called me Hales!' followed by a 'Give me that' and then a male voice came on the line
"Hello?"
"Uh.. Hi, whose this?"
"Oh, Sorry about that, My wife was embarrassing herself so I'd thought I'd help her out by taking away phone privileges. I'm Nathan, Lucas's brother."
"I thought it was sweet but it's nice to put a voice to your name too" She chuckled "Listen I better go, unless you need to talk to Lucas again?"
"No it's okay, you two have fun now"
"Thanks cya" She hung up the phone and turned to Lucas "They seem nice" before Lucas had the chance to answer back, a half dressed, tall, dark haired man 'fell' down the last step of the stairs and into the entrance hall. A moment passed as the man attempted to put on his shirt, Brooke got up to lean on the door frame between the hall and the kitchen, cocking her eyebrow as Lucas joined her, a second later Rachel came barrelling down the stairs.
"What's this ones name?" Brooke asked sarcastically, earning her a cold look from Rachel, the man went to answer but Rachel pushed him towards the door
"No time for names, I won't remember, she won't remember, just go"
"This was fun" Rachel rolled her eyes
"Yeah, yeah" She pushed him further towards the door before turning to open it, Brooke laughed and the man looked her way
"Wait, is that Brooke Dav-" before he got the chance to finish Rachel pushed him out and slammed the door, dusting of her hands, she turned to Brooke smiling before she noticed the tall Blonde standing next to her, her smile widened
"I see I'm not the only one who had a treat last night"
"Rachel, Lucas. Lucas, Rachel" Brooke made the introductions as Rachel winked at Lucas before pushing past into the kitchen
"It has a name, interesting" She grabbed an apple before hoping up on the counter "but what is it still doing here?" Brooke sighed
"His name is Lucas Rach and before you ask if we slept together, save it, we watched a movie and fell asleep on the couch"
"If that's your story" She shrugged as Lucas leaned down to whisper in Brooke's ear
"Who is she?" Brooke turned back to him
"This would be one of my best friends in the whole world.. unfortunately" She answered in an unenthusiastic tone as Rachel scoffed
"Shut it hoe, you love me" Brooke narrowed her eyes as she turned back to face her best friend
"Only out of obligation" Rachel laughed
"C'mon Prude, admit it, I make life fun"
"Hoe to prude in less than two sentences? Nice work" Brooke gave Rachel a sarcastic thumbs up as Rachel playfully bowed
"What can I say? It's a gift" Brooke laughed as she jumped up on the counter and threw an arm around her friend
"And that's why I luv ya"
"Told you! By the way, have you guys seen this?" Rachel reached under the counter and grabbed a paper before handing it to Brooke, who looked down at the front page and gasped
Brooke Davis lowering standards for simpleton life?
Didn't we just see Brooke Davis leaving the newest celebrity hot-spot 'Mascot' with a very buff Chris Evans? It was hard to miss considering she was sitting idly on his shoulder as he navigated the busy streets. But it seems the fashionista super-star has already moved on and in little under three days no less, something that may not be so irregular for the Hollywood Queen if it weren't for her choice in men. Twenty Six year old Lucas Scott, local hero for his winning shot in the first basketball championship to be won in twenty years for the high school team the 'Tree Hill Ravens', Scott now teaches English at the high school whilst spending his spare time coaching the same team that bought him to glory in 2001. Seems like a good enough catch? Maybe, for you or me but Brooke Davis? We find it hard to believe ourselves considering she has NEVER in her entire career dated anyone short of A-list, hell even her high school sweet heart, Julian Baker, grew up to be known as one of Hollywood's most promising directors. Maybe Davis has decided to really 'experience' the small town life by having one of it's most eligible bachelors show her around? Maybe were being Punk'd? Whatever the reason the eye of America is sure to turn towards what is promising to be the most intriguing affair since Brad met Ange.
Story continues on page 8
Accompanying the exert was a picture of her and Lucas, her hands strung around his neck, his around her waist as they engaged in a full on lip lock. Inset into this was a picture of her laughing on the shoulder of Chris Evans. Brooke scowled, how had they gotten both of these shots without her knowing?
"And you tried to convince me you just 'talked' last night?" Rachel said, giggling at the look on her friends face
"Wait, what are you looking at?" Lucas asked, Brooke sighed before handing over the paper, he was bound to see it anyway, may as well get it over and done with.
"It gets worse" Rachel said as Lucas began to read "Here" She handed Brooke a few celebrity magazines
'How much for that normilton in the window?
What's a girl to do when she runs out of A-lister hotties? Re-try a relationship? Hell no! The likes of Brooke Davis does NOT recycle! How about date H-O-T local teacher Lucas Scott instead? Sounds good! Seems the two were getting very up close and personal last night, just outside Davis's rented mansion in Tree Hill, North Carolina where she is set to film her new movie 'Coming Home'. Just wish someone would have told me that she was given us normal folks a try, I would have been first in line, but then again, wouldn't we all?'
'Davis dating local sporting hero?
Hold the phone, stop the press... Brooke Davis is actually dating someone who has never walked a red carpet or runway, played football in front of a crowd of over twenty thousand or rocked out on tour? Yes, it seems the impossible has happened, Brooke has actually tried her hand at dating someone without McMasion's. How's it feel B? It sucks when their Cadillac turns out to be a Toyota huh? How about-'
Brooke couldn't read anymore, she shoved the magazines back into Rachel's hands in disgust "Damn they work fast" Rachel nodded
"Yep, what is it barely nine and their already out?" Brooke sighed before looking at Lucas
"Broody?" Lucas looked up at Brooke in surprise
"How did they-"
"They are masterminds Luke, don't ask me how."
"I'm surprised they actually got one right though usually their full of lies, and believe me I'm sure there will be plenty to follow, by next week you will be secretly dating Pam Ann behind Brooke's back" Rachel added
"And I'll of course be pregnant with your kids, except George Clooney will try and claim paternity" Brooke and Rachel laughed, it always amazed them the web of lies that the magazines could come up with
"I guess this explains how Haley knew" Lucas said quietly and Brooke looked up from where she was still giggling with Rachel. She mentally slapped herself, she often forgot that not everyone was a as used to the attention and lies as they were.
"Oh Broody, if this is too much for you, you can go, the attention will die down in a few days as long as we are not seen out anywhere near each other" Brooke's heart fell as she realised that he probably wouldn't be able take the overwhelming amount of paparazzi that was sure to ensue should their dating continue 'Damn it girl! Don't get attached!' She reminded herself as Lucas smiled uneasily at her
"Do you want me to leave?" Brooke jumped off the counter before walking over to throw her arms around his neck, pulling him into a deep kiss
"No" She breathed as they pulled away "But I understand if you want to"
It wasn't the attention that bothered Lucas (although he didn't particularly care for his name splattered all over the media) it was the fact that Brooke had never dated someone... 'Normal', he was the first and it scared him a little. The other thing that made him uneasy was that less than three days ago she had most likely been in bed with Chris Evans and that in itself was a little daunting, how long until she moved on from him?
That was the point were Lucas needed to seriously evaluate the relationship, after only two days he was having strong feelings for Brooke but there was a likely chance that it could all end in another two days, or less. On the other hand the fact that Brooke had wanted to take things slow was encouraging as well as him actually being introduced to one of her best friends. He knew what his decision was almost instantly, he had never had such strong feelings for a girl in his life so it was defiantly worth risking his heart for.
"No" He smiled down at Brooke "I'll stay as long as you want me" Brooke's pressed her lips to his again, running her hand briefly through his hair, Rachel fained choking in the background
"While were on that subject" Rachel said as the two pulled apart for air "I might mention that Julian called, apparently he is held up on another project and filming has been delayed another two weeks" Brooke groaned
"ANOTHER Two weeks? That means it doesn't start for a month!" Rachel nodded
"Which mean Seven months in hicksville... Woopee" She said unenthusiastically "On the upside we can go to Anne's Premiere in Japan" The frown from Brooke's face turned into her dazzling smile
"Well that works perfectly" Rachel nodded before turning back to look at one of the papers
"Your into basketball?"
"Yep, been my passion since I could walk" Lucas answered, smiling
"Jake will defiantly approve" Brooke nodded
"Jake?" Lucas asked
"Jagielski" Rachel added and Lucas's eyes went wide
"Wait you know Jake Jagielski?"
"Yep" Brooke smiled "He's a good friend"
"As in star of the New York Knicks?"
"To be fair Wilson is pretty good too"
"And great in bed" Rachel said, stretching, Brooke chuckled
"Wait yes, I think I once saw a game where you were on the side-line"
"That could be one of MANY MANY games, we go whenever were in the city"
"You were with 50 cent" Lucas added feeling slightly embarrassed that he remembered such information
"Ah.. yep, I remember. But let me assure you I did not date Curtis, were friends, he's actually a lot sweater than people think"
"And great in bed" Rachel said again as Brooke rolled her eyes
"Ignore her" Lucas laughed
"I still can't believe you know Jake Jagielski, he's like my all time favourite player, he brought the Knicks back from the brink of death"
"That he did"
"Wow" Brooke giggled
"If you stick around, he'll be here in two weeks" Lucas looked at Brooke incredulously
"Jake Jagielski in Tree Hill? Why?"
"He's Peyton's fiance"
"Whose Peyton?"
"Present" Peyton said as she strolled into the kitchen, Rachel tensed "Whose the blonde and why is he talking about me?"
"Here" Rachel shoved the papers into Peyton's hands without looking at her, Peyton quickly scanned them, laughing to herself
"Nicccceeee, hey Lucas I'm Peyton"
"Nice to meet you" The two shook hands
"Am I going to be the first one to mention that Lucas is wearing the same clothes as in the picture?" Peyton cocked her head at Brooke who returned the stare with a sarcastic smile
"Pretty Boy spent the night" Rachel still refused to look at Peyton
"We watched a movie and fell asleep"
"RIIGGGHHT" Peyton said sarcastically "Like that's believable huh Rach?" Rachel ignored her, getting of the bench before storming out of the room Brooke sighed
"You guys are STILL fighting?"
"Apparently"
"Peyt, I think you should apologise"
"ME???"
"Yeah"
"She-"
"Called you prude? It's Rachel, what do you expect? You did pretty much call her a whore and a slut"
"I know, OK, that was wrong but we fight all the time you know it only usually lasts like five minutes, why's she holding a grudge for so long?" Peyton was right, sure the girls would fight all the time but it was never anything serious, they'd be back to their usual best friend ways in no time.
"You told her she wouldn't look after anyone but herself"
"Yeah well, she wouldn't" Brooke looked at Peyton incredulously
"PEYTON! She's done nothing but look out for us our entire lives!"
"Sure" Peyton said sarcastically
"Junior year! Who was it that kicked the crap out of Grant Newton when he got to handsy with you?" Peyton sighed
"Rachel"
"Who went to Principal Crawford and DEMANDED he give you another shot at your finals because you had been up all night crying cause they thought your dad was lost at sea?"
"Rachel"
"And who was it-"
"Brooke shut-up!" Peyton's lash out caught Brooke off guard
"Go and apologise Peyton"
"Or what?" She sneered "You'll take my allowance?" Brooke was once again shocked by her comment it was not like Peyton to lash out so harshly
"Peyton, are you okay?" She took a step closer to her friend who suddenly burst into tears, Brooke immediately stepped forward to wrap her arms around her "Shhh.. it's okay.. what's wrong?"
"I-I don't know" Peyton sobbed "I-I've been so emotional lately"
"Are you Peyton Marie Sawyer?" Brooke said in code so that Lucas wouldn't understand
"N-No" Peyton sniffled, wiping away her tears
"Not to interrupt, and I obviously don't know you well enough but" Lucas said as Brooke turned towards him "from what I've seen your acting very similar to when Haley was pregnant." Brooke's mouth dropped open and her eyes shone
"!!!" She screamed "OH! MY! GOD!!!" She turned to her friend practically jumping on the spot "ARE YOU PREGNANT!?!?!?!" Peyton looked stunned
"N-N-No... I couldn't be... Could I?"
"YOU ARE!!!!!" Brooke wrapped her hands so tight around her friend that she could barely breath "THIS IS AMAZING!!!! JAKE IS GOING TO BE SO HAPPY!!! I'M GOING TO BE AN AUNT!!! RACHEL!!! GET IN HERE!!!!!!" Rachel appeared at the door
"What's up?" Brooke bounded towards her
"Sawyer has been being a bitch because..." She turned to Peyton "You tell her or should I?" Rachel looked between the two in confusion, then something registered in her head
"The hoe is knocked up?" She groaned as Brooke shook her head excitedly
"YESS!!!!"
"No" Peyton corrected "I might possibly be" Rachel groaned again
"I am soooo disowning you" Peyton smiled playfully, the thought of her carrying Jake's child starting to send happy butterflies into her stomach
"So.. what? The kid won't have it's fun aunt Rachel?"
"Of course it will.. I would never put a kid through the horrors of just having just Brooke as an aunt, and with you as a mother? Poor thing would die of boredom" Peyton scoffed "C'mere P" Rachel stepped forward and wrapped her friend into a hug "Congrats"
"Thanks Rach" As they pulled away Brooke grabbed both their hands, jumping with excitement
"BABY SHOPPING!!!" She called and as all three giggled, Lucas watched Brooke in content, happy that he was able to be here in the moment when she was ecstatic.
