Friday Night Love

The rest of the week went by pretty much the same. Brooke and Haley were actually starting to really like each other. Lucas was becoming more and more suspicious of Nathan's behavior towards Haley and Payton and Jake were almost as bad as Lucas and Brooke were when it came to their Public displays of affection. Nathan was having a really hard time not being able to do to Haley what everyone else was doing right in front of them. Soon Friday night was here. Brooke had Haley come over for a little fashion show so she could figure out what to wear for Lucas. She had never been so nervous in her life. This was the first meaningful date she had been on in who knows how long.

"Brooke you look good in everything you've tried on just pick one and go with it."

"You don't understand Tutor Girl I have to look amazing. This is Luke we're talking about. He's not like anyone I have ever been with."

"Tigger he'll like you no matter what you wear. He's not going to care what color your top is. Actually he probably won't remember what you wear because I'm sure he's just as nervous as you are."

"Really?" Brooke said popping her head out of her closet to look at Haley. Haley just smiled at her and nodded her head. It was kind of cute seeing Brooke this way. Haley liked seeing this side of her. Brooke came walking out of the closet wearing a black silky halter top and a pair of Blue jeans with black lace along the pockets. "Ok how's this?"

"Brooke….that's it. You have to wear that tonight."

"Really? You think its enough? What if we go some where nice?"

"Trust me if I know Luke he will be taking you somewhere with meaning. Not some fancy restaurant. That outfit is perfect."

"Thanks Haley. I'm glad we are getting to be friends. I'm sorry I never noticed before how sweet you were."

"Ok Brooke that's enough. I don't like these mushy moments." Haley said getting up and heading for the door. Brooke walked up to her and pulled her into a hug. "I mean it though. I'm happy we're friends."

"Me to Tigger."

An Hour later Haley left and Lucas arrived at Brooke's house right on time. In all honesty he was early but he circled around the block a couple times so as not to look to anxious. He decided to wear a black logo shirt and a pair of faded blue jeans. He knocked on the door and it wasn't long before Brooke answered. Lucas was in aw. She looked amazing. He didn't think it was possible for Brooke Davis to be anymore beautiful but he was wrong.

"Wow Brooke. You look…..wow." He said looking her up and down.

"Thank you Luke. You don't look so bad yourself." She said as she leaned up and kissed his cheek. She pulled away and gave him that smile that he knew was only for him.

"So beautiful. Shall we go?"

"I think that's a great idea." She looped her arm through his but when they got close to his car he went ahead of her so he could open the door for her.

"After you my lady." She gave him a smile and got into the car. He ran around and got in the other side. Brooke had no idea where he was taking her.

They pulled up to an old house and Lucas stopped. He got out of the car and ran over again to open her door. Brooke was kind of confused. Why were they at an old house? Lucas led her inside and right as you walked in the door you could see candles every where. It was beautiful. They walked into one of the rooms and there was a table with a dozen roses sitting in the center of the table.

"Lucas this is beautiful but…what are we doing here?"

"Take a seat and I will explain over dinner."

They both sat down and Lucas picked up a basket from the floor next to his chair. He pulled out one more single long steamed rose and handed it to her. It was a white one so as to stand out from all the red ones.

"You look beautiful tonight Brooke."

"Thank you Luke."

"So I heard your favorite food is Italian. So I order a few things from the Italian restaurant downtown. We have spaghetti with marinara sauce. Chicken parm with a side of pasta salad and my personal favorite a mini pepperoni pizza."

"Hmmmm I'll start with the chicken."

"So you want to know why we're here. In a strange house. Well you see Brooke. This is the house I grew up in. I always loved it here. My mom decided to move to where we are now once I started middle school. But my heart always remained here. My uncle Keith bought it in hopes that someday he and my mom would get married and we would move back. So I come here when I need to be alone or have something bothering me. I love this place so much I wanted to share it with you."

"Oh Lucas. I don't know what to say."

"Brooke…I haven't been this happy with anyone. Well I haven't dated much but I know that I couldn't be this happy with just anyone. You make me smile more then I can remember smiling. I don't know about you but I really want to see this turn into something serious."

"Lucas. I feel the same way. I just think about you and I find myself smiling. You give me butterflies. I've never had that before. Nothing would make me happier then to see us become serious. Eventually. I don't want to rush."

"I don't either. I don't want to push you. We can take it slow. I promise no pressure."

"Thank you Luke. So you going to show me your old room? Oh my God. That sounded bad." Lucas laughed at her embarrassment. She was so cute some times.

"Sure. I'll give you the grand tour." He showed her around starting with the living room and soon ended up in his old room. There were things written in pain on his wall. And they all seemed to be quotes from Books. Mostly Shakespeare.

"What's all this?"

"Oh I told you I was into literature." He said as he walked further into his room. "Then must you speak of one that loved not wisely but to well. That's one of my favorites."

"Lucas it's beautiful. I've never met anyone like you. Will you read some more. I know I can but I love how it sounds when you do. So full of passion." He smile at her then looked over his wall to find another one he liked.

"Cowards die many times before their deaths, the valiant never taste of death but once. I always read that one when I was feeling low or didn't think I could handle something. It made me feel more keen to try and look at the bright side of things. To be valiant and not cower away or take the easy way out."

"Lucas you are amazing. Thank you for this. For sharing all this with me."

"Brooke you're the only one I have ever showed this too. Not even Haley has seen my room. We always hung out at her place."

"Why would you choose to show this to me?"

"You shared something very personal about you the first night we spent together. So I wanted to give that back to you. This was the only thing I could think of."

Brooke walked over to him and pulled his head into a kiss. It was the most passionate one they had shared yet. He pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms tightly around her. She wrapped hers around his neck. They kissed for a long time until one of them had to pull away for air.

"Lucas, I will never forget this night. It was the best date I ever had."

"I hope to give you many more just like this one." At that he pulled her into another kiss.

A/N So what did you think? I wanted to make their date stand out a little. I'm going to right two chapters on the other couples as well so it made it more of a story. I also just realized I skipped over the Thing with Rachel so next chapter I'm going to write a chapter about her visiting Lucas and they will talk about that day so you all will know what happened. Thank you for your reviews. Keep em coming. Smiles
