A/N: I know this was originally a oneshot but I had so many positive reviews and a couple of people said that I should continue this. I had a moment of inspiration, which normally comes at the weekend, and I wrote another chapter. I'm gonna leave this open now because I might just write something else for this. By the way the story title comes from a Darren Hayes song.

Disclaimer-I don't own the characters

Now That You Love Me

Brooke's POV

Well, what can I say. Things have a funny way of turning out. It was beyond my wildest dreams. Here I am, finally with the person I love and she loves me too. I really thought she was going to get married today, that she loved Lucas. I never expected her to feel anything but friendship for me.

That's why I agreed to be her chief bridesmaid, matron of honour, whatever you want to call it. I did it for her because if that was going to make her happy, then that's all that counted. I was secretly dying inside; the closer it got to the big day. I knew something was up with her but I just thought it was wedding nerves. I was feeling nervous myself; had me a couple of drinks for Dutch courage before the ceremony.

I saw her in her wedding dress and she took my breath away. God, she looked so beautiful. I walked up to her when she was looking in the mirror and I just wanted to kiss her there and then. I started rambling about her nickname; I became a right babbling Brooke. I touched her and I was happy and sad at the same time.

When I told her that I loved her, before everyone walked up the aisle, that was my declaration but also my goodbye to the feelings I have. I considered the possibility that she knew that because she didn't want to let go of me when we hugged.

Watching her walk down the aisle was heartbreaking, I just wanted to run out of the church and get as far away as possible. Then that part came, the opportunity to say why they shouldn't be married. For a split second, I considered saying something, especially when Peyton looked at me; I swear she can read my mind at times. She did it; she said that she couldn't marry Lucas. I was in shock; Larry, Lucas and I all said her name at the same time.

She was full on ready to run and I was prepared to go after her to find out why she changed her mind. Instead she came over to me and kissed me. My brain did not kick in, as I was too surprised. She told me she was in love with me and then ran. I was still standing there trying to process everything. Everybody was looking at me for answers but I was still replaying it all in my head.

Haley started speaking to me at the same time as Lucas. I wasn't paying any attention. Peyton's words finally sunk in and I decided to leg it after her, leaving everybody still in the church. I wasn't really sure what I was going to say to her once I caught up with her, I just couldn't get pass the fact that she kissed me and I didn't do anything. I've been waiting for that moment forever and I stood there like a deer caught in headlights.

I caught up with her, finally getting my moment of clarity. I tried to act unfazed about it all. Truth is I was nervous as hell, not sure why coz she already told me how she felt. She started crying and she looked defeated. I caught her tears with my thumb and confessed my feelings to her, repeating her earlier words. She looked just as surprised as I did earlier. We kissed and I was in heaven, I just wanted to feel every part of her body. My brain kind of kicked in as I remembered we were out in the street.

I made a comment about getting her out of her clothes; I didn't mean it in a dirty way. Who would want to stay in a wedding dress when they didn't get married? Who I'm kidding, I totally meant it in a dirty way. We went back to her house and changed out of our dresses. She's grabbing us some refreshments while I'm sitting on her bed replying the day in my head. We had been making out for a couple of hours and I'm missing the feel of her lips.

At that moment I spot her standing at the doorway. "Hey." She says.

"Hey yourself. How long have you been standing there?" I ask.

"Not long. You looked deep in thought so I didn't want to disturb you. What were you thinking about anyway." She places a couple bottles of water and a plate of sandwiches on her desk and climbs on the bed.

"You." I simply tell her. We both smile and she's now straddling me. She kisses me and I feel dizzy from her lips. She pulls away and smirks, like she knows the affect she has on me.

"So seeing as I'm not going on honeymoon, how about you and I take a trip?" She asks excitingly.

"Love too." I beamed like a little kid. "Do you have anywhere in mind?"

"Yes, but it's gonna be a surprise." She was taking pleasure of the fact that I would want to know what she was planning.

"Tell me." I pleaded before kissing her, hoping that she would cave in. It's like she knew my plan coz she shook her head.

"No Brooke, this isn't gonna make me tell to you." I kiss her again and then pout as I pull away. She smiles at me and kisses me again but with more passion. She has a little plan of her own and it's working.

She crawls off me and grabs a sandwich. Before she takes a bite, she speaks. "I guess you should start packing now coz the flight is tomorrow." I sit there looking perplexed before questioning her. "When did you do this?"

"When you were in the toilet earlier." She finally takes a bite out of her sandwich and throws me a bottle of water.

"That was an hour ago and you wait until now to tell me." She simply nods her head while she's still chewing.

I go and grab her hand, "Well just for that, you're helping me pack." I drag her downstairs and we jump in her car. I simply watch her as she's driving to mine. I can't say how much I love this girl. I know I'm all about 'clothes over bros', but when it comes to her, its Peyton over everything.
