Chapter 9: Many Surprises
New York- Present
I have been in New York for a few weeks and I have yet to see this bitch of mine. I have been outside her work place and not once had I seen her smooth complexion or her bright hazel-green eyes that I had gone 5 years without seeing. She was my girlfriend for two months before she decided to end things out of no where. I didn't let here forget me, I taught her one lesson that she would never forget. The terror that consumed her eyes the last time I saw her brought a smile to my face. I walk into her work place and everything look the same as I last saw it.
"How may I help you sir?" the receptionist voice cut through my thoughts.
"Hi, I am here for to see Brooke Davis." The smile on my lips drawn the woman in.
"Ms. Davis is not in town Mr…"
"Anderson" I finished sticking my hand out to her. "Eric Anderson." Brushing my lips up against her hand.
"Well Mr. Anderson" she blushed. "Ms. Davis is opening a new store at the moment so she is out of town on business." She batted her eyelashes at me and I knew had her reeled in.
"You wouldn't happen to know where, would you."
"Well I guess I could tell you, if you could convince me." she flirted.
"Well you can always swing by my place tonight when you get off." I smirk. "I can always convince you then."
"I get off at 5"
"Good" I smirked. "I'm staying at the Marriott…"
5 years 8 months and 10 days ago…
"Expensive restaurant, good bottle of wine" she admired. "If I didn't know any better I would say you are trying to woe me Mr. Scott." She chuckled.
"Only the best for the most beautiful girlfriend I have." Lucas smiled.
"So there are others." She kinked her eyebrow.
"Yeah, you two might have met." Lucas teased.
"Oh really and what does she look like." She played along.
"Well she has smooth olive skin that I love to kiss on. Her brown locks are soft and I take the tendency to run my hand through them every chance I get." He runs his hands through her hair. "I love it when it is in it natural curls and its down around her face makes her look exotic and sexy. Not that she don't look sexy all the time." He corrects himself and she laughs at how nervous he became all a sudden. "Her lips are soft and always begging to be kissed especially when she have this adorable pout that never fells to turn me on." He slowly leans in and gives her a kiss. He moves his lips to her ear and whisper. "Her legs are smooth and seem to go on for days. I especially liked them when they are wrapped around my waist." He smirk pulling back after having hearing her pull in a sharp breathe. "I especially love her eyes I feel like I can stare in into her hazel-green eyes and never get bored." He finish gazing into her eyes.
She is at a lost for words as she stares into his cerulean blue orbs that seem to draw her in and she knows ho he feels because she feels the same about him. She has they have been gazing into each others eyes for hours when its only been a few seconds before she is drawn out by the waitress asking if they were ready to order. He smirks and order for the both of them while she takes a big sip of her drink to calm her nerves. She finally gains her complusure back enough to respond. "She sounds like a keeper." She giggled. "and who is this mystery girl of yours."
"She goes by the name Brooke Davis." Lucas smiled. "But I was hoping to change that." He hinted.
"How so?" Brooke kinked her eyebrow.
"You will see" he dismissed. "But for now lets enjoy our meal I have another surprise for you later." He finished just has the waitress came with their food.
Dinner continued without interruption and was full of laughter and light conversation. Throughout dinner Brooke wondered what exactly Lucas have meant by his comment but didn't dare bring it back up she thought he would explain eventually.
"Would like dessert?" the waitress asked interrupting the flow of conversation.
"Yes" Lucas replied when Brooke was about to decline. "Can we get one of your Romantic Brownie sundaes and chocolate cover strawberries to go please."
"Yes you can" the waitress smiled. "and I will also bring you you check sir."
"Thank you" politely dismissing the waitress before turning back to Brooke. "Did you enjoy your meal?"
"I did thank you" she replied "your being quite the gentleman tonight." She smirked.
"Well I have to show my girl how much I love her" a grin exploded across her face. "But the night is not over yet we still have one more stop before we head home." He continued with as smile as the waitress returned with the check and their dessert in a to-go bag. He put some cash down for the bill along we some for a tip.
"Do you need me to pay for anything." She asked wanting to contribute some way as she grabbed her purse.
"Nope I got this." he replied and she glared at him. This meal must have cost a fortune but he spoke again before she can say that. "You get the next one okay." He winked. " just let me spoil you tonight okay?"
"Okay" she relented with a small smile playing on her lips. "Thank you Lucas for tonight, I really appreciate it." She said giving him a kiss as they got up to leave.
"Anything for you pretty girl." He grinned giving her another kiss before kissing her forehead. "Okay lets get out here." He put his hand out in front of him for her to lead the way and he soon followed after her.
The town car was pulling up around front just as they walked out the door. He helped Brooke into the back passenger seat before sliding in next to her. "On to our next destination Alfred"
"Ok. Sir"
"What is our next destination" Brooke said leaning into him trying to get any information she could out of him.
"Not telling" he laughed.
"Alfred you will tell me right." She looked at her driver. Alfred have been Brooke's driver for almost an year now. He was sweet man in his late 50's, married and had 3 kids and 4 grand-kids. Brooke just adorned them.
"Sorry Ms. Davis no can do." He replied with a smile and Brooke pouted. "But I can tell you that you will love it." He winked at her making her smile.
"Ok" she relented before lying back into Lucas' arms, enjoying this giddy feeling that tingle in the pit of her stomach when ever she was around Lucas.
Not to soon after the conversation ended the car pulled to a stop in front of Carl's Schurz Park. Lucas helped Brooke out of the car and they walked down the near empty park. They walked down a beaten path on to a cement walkway along the East River. They soon came to a stop as they lean against the railing watching the water sway back and forth and the stars dancing off the water, with the Brooklyn Bridge and the New York Skyline in the background.
"This is beautiful" Brooke breathed out.
"I know this is not the beach but this is the closes I could get that wouldn't have been a long drive." He replied nervously from beside her.
"Its perfect." She said turning to kiss him on the lips before looking back out in to the water.
Lucas took a deep breathe and looked up at the sky and waited. Soon he found what he was looking for. "Look a shooting star" he said catching Brooke's attention. She looked up at the sky and he saw her face light up. "Make a wish" he said whispering into her ear. He watched as she closed her eyes and did you that. He took a deep breathe and got down on one knee. "I want to make all your wishes come true." He says grabbing Brooke's attention. She looked down at him with wide eyes, "I want all to make dreams come true. Not only do I want to come true to wish to be apart of them. To share a long and happy life with you. I know we only been together for only 5 months but I know that you are the one for me. You are the love of my life. My heart speeds up at your touch or even when you smile at me. You are it for me." he breathed out. He slowly pulled out the ring box and up at Brooke. Brooke held one hand to her mouth as she looked down at the box and her other hand was grasped in Lucas' hand. "So I only have one question to ask." He said kissing her hand before looking back at her. "Today you're my friend, Tomorrow…Be My Wife?" he opened the ring box show casing a beautiful 5 ct. floating sapphire and diamond engagement ring. Lucas held his breath waiting for the answer.
"Yes" she nodded and whispered at the same time. He hurried and put on the ring before getting up and letting his lips meet hers. "I'm pregnant" she said when he finally let her breathe.
the only thing that went through Lucas head as he pulled her close was 'please let it be mine'
