It's been about a year now
Ain't seen or heard from you
I been missin' you crazy
How do you how do you sleep
Lucas and the rest of the group sat awkwardly in Brooke's living room. Well the guys sat awkwardly in the living room; Rachel just sat with a smirk watching how the longer the clocked ticked the more Lucas moved around. She was more than sure since he reentered the apartment about 10 minutes ago his eyes haven't left Brooke's bedroom door.
"Maybe we should leave." Cam suggested feeling very weird just sitting in his sister's house while she was doing things he didn't want to know on the other side of the door.
"Or we could just wait." Rachel said with an eye roll flipping through a magazine not seeing the big deal.
"I just feel weird. I mean my sister is possibly having sex in there." Cam cringed at the thought. He just wanted to believe like the rest of the brothers in the world their little sister never had sex. Like a daughter or something, they all just died virgins.
"Oh she is definitely having sex in there." Rachel laughs as all the boys make a weird face, "Oh come on why are ya'll acting like this is so weird. Everyone in here has had sex. We are all adults and I don't get why Lukie over here looks so grossed out since he has had lots of sex with Brooke. Lots of sex in random places, now that's weird."
"Rachel!" they all freaked together.
"What? Lucas did you not have sex with Brooke?" she asked and just watches him give her a look, one she couldn't read but one she also didn't care to much to figure out "Yup see their you go. Oh and Cam stopping looking so grossed out do you know how many times your sister actually heard us having sex?"
"None I hope."
"Well you hope wrong. Remember the time in the kitchen?" she questions and he nods, "Well she was in the living room watching a movie. Then the time in the hot tub on Fourth of July her and if I remember correctly Lucas were in the pool right next to us."
"God tell me ya'll weren't?" Cam hoped looking over at his best friend.
"Umm…yeah we were, but we were a little too…distracted to pay too much attention to ya'll if that makes you feel any better." He half smiled thinking about it.
Flashback
"Luke tell me my brother and Rachel aren't having sex in the hot tub?" Brooke cringed as she heard her best friend make a certain noise she didn't want to hear if it was because of something her brother was doing.
"Umm…" Lucas paused looking over his girlfriends shoulder, "Yup they are definitely doing that. Well on the way to doing that." he laughed as he moved around the pool with his girlfriend in his arms.
"Ok gross." Brooke said making a disgusted face as she wrapped her arms around her boyfriend's neck and he spun them around so her back was against the wall.
"You think we could be quieter than them?" he smirked leaning in kissing her neck letting his tongue run up it then kissing softly on her jaw.
"Luke I think that would be weird. My brother is right there." she said tossing a glance over her shoulder to see him and Rachel getting a little busy in the hot tub.
"But if we are quiet he won't even know." he smiled kissing her and running his hands up her body giving her all sorts of goose bumps, "Plus I think he is a little too busy to pay attention to what we are doing."
"You are probably right." She laughed pulling out of their kiss, "What if I give you ten of this…" she pauses as she starts kissing him but pulls away before he can deepen it, "And then we go upstairs and I will give you whatever else you want." she suggested and watched as he sat debating things for a second, before standing up from the water with her in his arms, "Luke." She laughed as they made their way back into the hotel, "Where we going?"
"Ten minutes is too long of kissing you without wanting more." He laughed reaching over hitting the button on the elevator, "and it's definitely to long when I am wanting you so bad right now." He smirked as the bell dinged and they walked inside her still in his arms.
"When are you not wanting me?" she teased.
"Hmm…good point." He grinned the cutest grin she has ever seen as he leans in kissing her, "Have I told you today how much I love you Miss Brooke Davis?"
"No Mr. Lucas Scott I don't think you have." she smiled running her hand through his damp hair as he leaned up against the elevator wall smiling at her.
"Well I do." he smiled leaning in to kiss her, "Very, very much." He whispered to her as he kissed her.
"I love you too." She smiled in their kiss and heard the elevator door ding signaling them they were at their floor but neither moved, "You know Rach and Cam got to do it in a hot tub before us, you think we could do it in an elevator before them?" she teased as the elevator door closed again.
"Oh look at my baby being all adventuress." He laughed as he pulled the button on to stop them in between floors, "I think I am rubbing off on you Pretty Girl." He grinned as he spun them around again pushing her up against the elevator wall.
"Mmm…and that is just terrible." She teased as he leaned in kissing her and mumbling "Oh so terrible."
Flashback over.
I found the letter you wrote me
It still smells just like you
Damn those sweet memories
How do you, how do you sleep
How do you sleep?
"Luke hello?" Jason said waving his hand in front of his friend face, who seemed to be in a complete daze.
"Oh...umm what?" Lucas asked shaking his head off all his thoughts once again.
"Nothing you just completely zoned out on us." Matt told him, and wondered what everyone else in the room wondered. Was he thinking about Brooke again?
"Yeah sorry guess I am just really tired." He lied and they all nodded and no one had a chance to make another comment when they heard a voice talking.
"Brooke I am home you slut. No I am not staying long just need to pick some things up before I move in with-" the girl stop when she notices people in her living room, people she has no clue who they are, "Umm…none of ya'll are Brooke."
"No but I am Jason." Jason jumps up at the dark headed girl sticking out his hand.
"Umm…hi I'm Quinn." She smiles taking it and would laugh at how this guy is staring at her.
"And I am Clay." I voice says behind her as he approaches them and wrapping one arm around Quinn's waist protectively and sticking out his own hand, "Quinn's boyfriend." He smiles.
"Well damn." Jason frowns, "Guess back to finding another girl." He shrugs dropping her hand and walking back over to his spot on the couch.
"Excuse him." Rachel said jumping up and sticking out her hand, "Hi I'm Rachel." She introduced at Quinn shook her hand telling her hi, "and this is Cam, Matt, Jason who just acted dumb with you and Lucas." she tells her pointing at each person.
"Wait your Lucas?" Quinn asked looking at the blonde.
"Umm...yeah that would be me." he frowned a bit knowing if this girl was Brooke's friend than his reputation already sucked.
"Well this is going to be interesting." Quinn told her boyfriend.
"Oh yeah." Clay agreed, "So which one of you is Brookie's brother?" he asked as Cam raised his hand, "Yeah guess I should have guessed that one. You two kind of look alike."
"Yeah I guess we do a little." Cam agreed since they both had dark hair and hazel eyes. They were both pretty in shape but the difference is Cam has well of course facial hair not much just a little scruff and their personalities are a little different. Brooke is more sociable and friendly as Cam's has always been a little more of the quiet one, well that was until he made best friends with Lucas and started dating Rachel.
"Well may we ask where Brooke is?" Quinn asked looking around not to seeing her roommate.
"Oh umm well she is in her room with I think his name is Adam." Rachel tells them and Quinn just laughs.
"Oh god she is going to die when she knows you are all sitting out her while she is having sex with her boyfriend." Quinn laughs as she walks over to her best friend's door.
"Well I mean they have been in their awhile, I bet they are almost done." Rachel tells her.
"Oh trust me if you don't tell her to come out Brooke will be in their all day with him. She takes all the energy out of that poor boy." Quinn laughs.
"Trust me I know." Lucas mumbles falling back in his chair getting a smack from Matt and they both let out a small laugh.
"Brooke…" Quinn calls knocking on the door.
"Uhh...I'm…god…I'm a little busy Quinn." Quinn hears Brooke gasp out making her laugh more. "Yeah I can hear that but umm… I was kind of wondering what your brother looked like." She laughs looking over at everyone who just let out a small laugh, everyone but Lucas but Quinn still just shh'd them.
"Umm…he…Adam…" she heard in another gasp, "He looks like Adam?" she asks and everyone just laughs more.
"No he umm…hair…" she moans making Quinn laugh more, "So he has hair?" she smirks leaning up against the door frame.
"Quinn…could…uhh...could you please give us a minute. We are…uhh god baby…busy." She heard Adam moan making her laugh more, "Sure thing Adam I will just take all these people out to lunch while ya'll finish up. And Brooke Cam is very cute; he does look a lot like you." Quinn laughs as she hears Brooke freak, "What?! Shit!"
"Adam wear are my pants." She heard Brooke and just pushed off the wall walking back over to them, "They'll be out in just a minute." She smiled holding up one finger as she walked back over to Clay who was on the couch and falling down into his lap. "So how was the ride down?"
Tried my best at movin' on
Have yet to find a girl like you
See things now I didn't before
Now wishin' I had more time with you
How do you stay awake
Knowin' all I do is think of you
All the things we thought about
Then, never will happen again
If I could just see you
Quinn wasn't wrong about Brooke being out in a minute, because about the time everyone started sharing their ride down Brooke came flying into the living room. Everyone laughed when she slid across the hard wood floors almost doing a complete spilt but caught herself with both hands before standing back up.
"Hey guys." She smiles brushing her hair out of her face and adjusting her shirt as she tried to catch her breath, "How are things?"
"God Brooke you are such a slut." Rachel laughed jumping of the couch and hugging her best friend she missed so much, "But I missed you so much."
"I missed you too." Brooke smiled hugging her, "And I am sorry that was embarrassing." She whispered in Rachel's ear so no one could hear and the red head just laughed. "Hey Matt, Jay." She smiled as both boys walked over, boys that she will always consider family.
"Aww…Brookie we missed you." Matt smiled hugging her and kissing her cheek, "Thanks for letting us stay here."
"Anything or my boys." she smiled before turning towards Jason who picked her up in a big hug, "Jay!" she squealed as he spun her around in circles. Jason was always the crazy one, he was about 6 feet tall and not heavy but not skin either, he was like a giant teddy bear and Brooke always thought he gave the best hugs ever.
"Brookie!!!!" he laughed as he spun her around before placing her back down, "I have missed you. Why haven't you called as much as you promised? Is it because you have been a little busy with what you were just doing in the bedroom? Hmmm?" he teased as Brooke started to blush.
"Well Jay I am more than sure a phone goes both ways. What have you been busy doing? Hmm?" she asked giving him the same look he gave her making him laugh.
"I wish I was doing what you were just doing."
"Jason!" she squealed slapping his arm as he laughed giving her another hug, "But I have missed you."
"Well I missed you too crazy girl." He laughed stepping away as her favorite of the group stepped forward.
"Cam." She smiled a little happy yet sad smile as he hugged her. She felt dumb when she felt a tear burn in her eye but she couldn't help it, she missed her big brother so much. "I missed you big brother." She cried burring her head in his shoulder and he held her a little tighter.
"I missed you too baby sister but why you crying?" he asked still holding her close.
"A year is just way, way to long without seeing my big brother." She told him pulling out of the hug as he wiped her already smudge make up.
"Yeah I know what you mean." he smiles. He loved his baby sister; she was pretty much his best friend. Since they were little they were best friends, no one came in-between them, and no one dared tried. It hurt him when Brooke got hurt by Lucas and it hurt even more when she left, because he agreed a year without seeing one of the most important people to you is just way to long.
Lucas couldn't help but smile as he watched Brooke talk to her big brother. He knew how much she loved him, and how much she loved her. He honestly never meet siblings as close as they were, always hanging out, always together. They both pretty much shared friends and they both pretty much took the others side on everything, which explained why after Cam find out about them she ended them, it was only about a week but it was probably one of the longest weeks of Lucas's life.
If I had my way come and get you girl
In your favorite car with the missing top
Remember 'round my way where we used to park
And did all those things to steal your heart
Flashback
"Brooke don't do this." Lucas felt like he had been begging her that for about the last 20 minutes. He never thought this would actually happen, he never thought when she walked into his room she would be doing this but she is and he is begging her not too.
"Lucas I don't want to do this but I have too. He is my brother, I can't lose him." she cried, two days ago her worst fear came true, he brother found out about her and Lucas and he all but told her to pick. Pick his best friend or pick him and even if it was killing her inside she had to pick the person who has always been there for her, who will always, be there for her.
"But I can't lose you." he sighed walking over taking her hands in his, "I love you so much Brooke and I know you love me."
"Of course I love you Lucas. I have never loved anyone as much as I love you but that doesn't change anything." She told him as more tears fell from her eyes.
"He will get over it. He will be fine with it all he needs is time. Time to process it all. I will prove to him I have changed, that I am not going to hurt you." he told her pulling her into his arms and holding her tight, "I can show him I'm different I can."
"He won't listen Lucas, he won't listen to any of it." She cried into his chest, "I didn't want this to happen. I knew there was a chance but I didn't want it to happen."
"I know Pretty Girl I know you didn't. We will figure it out. I will figure it out." He promised even if he knew the promise was most likely empty since he knew his best friend and he knew Cam wouldn't believe he changed but he would do all he could to prove that.
"And if we don't?" she asked pulling out of their hug looking up at him through blurry eyes, "If he doesn't listen and we don't figure it out what will happen next?" she questioned but Lucas just answer because he didn't know what to say. So the only thing he could think of doing was lean down kissing her softly and whispering, "I love you."
Flashback Over
It's been about a year now
Ain't seen or heard from you
I been missin' you crazy
How do you, how do you sleep?
Found the letter you wrote me
It still smells just like you
Damn those sweet memories
How do you, how do you sleep?
She looked gorgeous like she always did; yet looking at her did hurt. Her hair was a tangled mess even though he knew she tried running her hands through it to fix it. Her eye liner was smudged and though some of it was from tears he also knew it was smudge when she ran into the room. He recognized both her hair and makeup only because he has been on many times the cause of the tangled hair and smudge eye liner. She had on a pair of old jeans that she always wore but what hurt the most was her shirt. It wasn't a shirt it was a jacket, a guy's jacket. It was navy blue and it zipped in the front and was way too big for her, to Lucas it didn't seem to fit her as well as his clothes fit her.
Yet than what made his heart stop completely was when she turned to look at him. She just stared right at him and they locked eyes and everyone in the room saw the look they were sharing. You would have to be completely blind not to see it, but neither moved. Neither walked got up to share a hug like the rest of the room they just stayed still. Him in his chair and her next to her brother each almost daring the other to speak first and finally one did.
"Hey Luke." She whispered with a small smile and wave both of which he returned.
"Hey Brooke." He whispered back and he debated getting up giving her a hug, he wasn't sure if he was allowed to or not but he thought about it and about the time he decided to do it someone else walked in the room stopping him in his tracks. He cut his eyes over at the guy standing towards the back of everyone and saw how Brooke gave him a confused look before following his gaze to see her boyfriend behind them.
"Umm…everyone this is Adam." She introduced waving him over as he walked over slipping one hand around her waist. "Adam this is my big brother Cam." She tells him pointing at the guy in front of her.
"Adam." Cam said reaching out his hand and being the over protective brother he is squeezed his hand a little too tight, "Nice to meet you."
"You too man, although not really how I wanted to meet my girlfriend's brother." He said with a small laugh making everyone else crack a smile. Everyone but Lucas that Brooke looked over and saw looking down playing with his hands. For a second he looked up at her, they locked eyes again and Brooke could literally see all the pain in his face but looked away fast trying to ignore it all, needing to ignore it all.
"But umm…Adam, this is Rachel, Matt, Jason…" and with a small pause turning to look at Lucas, "and Lucas." she finished and felt Adam's hand tighten on her side and pulling her more into him.
"Nice too meet you all." He smiled but everyone would again be stupid to miss the look he gave Lucas. Kind of like on that says 'You messed up, I got her now don't even think about it.' Lucas definitely caught the look and just started talking to Matt as everyone talked to Brooke and Adam.
Baby all that I hear from my friends
Again again and again come and ask 'bout you
They say, "We saw your girl at the game
And damn we gotta say a big mistake by you"
"I don't like him." Lucas whispered to his best friend.
"Dude you haven't even talked to him." Matt laughed at his friend.
"Don't care look at him. Look how he holds her, I don't like it. I mean she can move on her own, doesn't need him to guide her through the damn room." He tells him as he cuts his eyes over at his ex and see's how Adam keeps his hand around her or on her back the whole time, it's just annoying.
"Dude you do realize he does nothing you never did right?"
"No." Lucas scuffs leaning back in his chair making his friend laugh more.
"Dude yes you did. The only difference is that you and Brooke either groped or had your faces like glued to each other all the damn time."
"What? What are you talking about? We were not at all like that." Lucas argues but Matt just shakes his head laughing more.
"Ok I'm sorry but it's true. Luke I never seen two people making out or touching each other as much you and Brooke do. And do you want to know what I am praying to god for?"
"What?"
"I just hope for you Brooke and Adam aren't half as affectionate as you and her were." Matt told him with a small sad smile patting his leg as he stood up, "So Brookie tell me what you are going to be showing me this vacation." Matt said walking off leaving Lucas sitting there thinking.
"Yeah…" he mumbled to himself as he stood up, "Me too."
Not only does your body bang
But I miss the conversation too
Tell me that you're gettin' more sleep
Can't think, can't eat till I come see you
Everyone sat around talking and catching up. Apparently Quinn and Brooke had been roommates since she moved her but when Brooke told her she had family visiting she told her until they head home she will just stay at Clay's house. Clearly Clay didn't object. Everyone seemed to get along and Lucas didn't really talk to Adam, nor did Adam talk to Lucas.
They had been hanging out about an hour and in that hour Lucas probably glanced at Brooke about a million times. She was in Adam's lap; he was on the couch with one arm around her waist rubbing his hand slowly up and down her back as the other rested a little high if you ask Lucas on her thigh. It weird Lucas out a little seeing some guy touching Brooke since other than Chase he has never seen her with another guy, and he quickly found himself praying for the same thing Matt had.
"Oh damn." Adam frowned looking at his phone seeing what time it was.
"What's wrong?" Brooke asked looking at him as everyone else talked.
"I got practice in half an hour." He told her and it was clear to Brooke he wasn't overly comfortable leaving Brooke.
"Oh ok." she said as she started too easy out of his lap but he just pulled her back into it.
"It's ok I can skip it." He shrugged like it was no big deal.
"Adam you can't skip. Coach will be pissed and on top of working the hell out of you he will bench you next game." She told him as she rubbed his hand with hers, "and I don't want you benched because I planned on bringing them all to your next game and show off how amazing my boyfriend is." she laughed.
"Yeah. Ok well I guess I could go." He told her as he looked up at her ex.
"Don't guess just go. And try not to worry because I know what is going on in that gorgeous head of yours so stop." She smiled and he nodded ok as she leaned up kissing him.
"Ok well get up." He smiled patting her butt and she laughed easing out of his lap, "Ok it was really great meeting all ya'll but I got to head out. I have practice." He told them.
"Oh ok cool. I guess we will see you later. Bye man." Cam said reaching up and shaking his hand again, making Brooke very happy.
"Later man." Adam said waving to everyone else. Brooke stood up taking his hand as she walked him to the door, "I'll call you later." He smiled placing his hands on her hips as she placed hers on top of his.
"Ok well are you going to come back after?" she asked.
"Well I unlike you still have school so I was going to finish up my homework before school tomorrow." He told her and Brooke nodded. That was one thing that would suck is that even though she was out for summer Adam still have practice and was taking some summer class so he could have an easier schedule during the school year.
"Oh ok." Brooke frowned a little picking a string off his t-shirt.
"Hey what's wrong?" he asked lifting her chin to look at him.
"I just…I don't want since everyone is here you to feel like you can't be here. Since Lucas is here you feel weird so you just kind of not come over." she frowned looking down, "I don't want them here to mess us up."
"Oh no baby that's not it. I promise I just have things I need to finish. I have a paper I haven't even started yet that's due in two days and I still have to read some book for the paper. I was going to do it all tonight so I can be with you all tomorrow." He smiled brushing her hair behind her ear, "I love you."
"I love you too." She smiled a little leaning up on her tip toes kissing him, "Promise to come by tomorrow?"
"Promise." He grinned kissing her one last time then tell her goodbye.
If I had my way come and get you girl
In your favorite car with the missing top
Remember 'round my way where we used to park
And did all those things to steal your heart
How do you, how do you sleep?
How do you sleep? It's been about a year now
Ain't seen or heard from you
I been missin' you crazy
How do you, how do you sleep?
I found the letter you wrote me
It still smells just like you
Brooke felt a little weird walking into the living room without Adam. If he was there than she had a distraction from Lucas but with him not she knew it would be awkward tension. If Adam was by her side no comments would be made about her and her ex but when he isn't she wasn't so sure.
"Well he is gorgeous." Rachel comments as soon as Brooke walks into the room and Brooke feels dumb that just the mention of her boyfriend she smiles.
"Yeah I know." she smiles big as she walks over to the couch sitting next to her best friend and biting her bottom lip.
"I like him Brooke. I don't like walking in on what I walked in on but I like him." Cam laughs.
"Yeah I know sorry about that." Brooke says blushing a little, "But umm…on rooms. There is Quinn's that you know she kindly gave ya'll that Rach and Cam could use. Then there is our other roommate who thank god has left so it's free. But you know wait a sec." she paused pulling out her cell phone and hitting 3 on her speed dial.
"I just left and you're already missing me?" Adam teased answering his phone.
"No, well I mean yeah but that's not why I called." Brooke laughed getting up, "I'll be right back." she tell everyone as she walks out into her room shutting the door, "Umm…I was just wondering if you don't mind when you're not here over the night if one of the guys could share my bed. If that makes you uncomfortable than I get it I don't have to I was just wondering." Brooke rambled as she walked around her room.
"Baby your rambling." He laughed making Brooke laugh, "But no I don't mind. I mean as long as it's not…"
"Oh definitely not." Brooke cut him off before he said Lucas, "I was thinking more Jason. You know the cute big teddy bear."
"Yeah ok I don't mind just tell him no cuddling."
"Ok promise he cannot cuddle me. But I guess I'll let you go to practice call me later love you. bye."
"Love you too bye."
Brooke closed her phone skipping back into the living room and on the couch, "Ok just wanted to make sure but ya'll can flip and whoever wins or hell whoever loses can share my bed when Adam's not here and then the other two can take Peyton's room." She tells them.
"Ok well I'll share with ya Brookie." Matt smiles and Brooke just nods grabbing her phone to text Adam telling him that it will be Matt not Jason.
"Wait that's not fair. Brooke is smaller and takes up less room I want to share with her." Jason pouts making them all laugh.
"God ya'll are both so dumb." Rachel laughed climbing off Cam's lap and grabbing Clay's hat off his head, "Thank you my sir." She smiled as she grabbed a couple pieces of paper, "Jason write down ya'lls names and whoever I draw will share with Brooke." She shrugs as he writes down the names tossing them in the hat, "Ok Brooke your loving cuddle buddy when Adam isn't here is…" she says shaking that hat and grabbing a name, "Lucas?"
"What?!" Brooke freaks grabbing the paper looking at it.
"Jay you dumbass you put my name in there?" Lucas asked. Though he would love sharing a bed with Brooke he knew that wasn't ever going to happen.
"What you said write down our names." Jason shrugged not getting the big deal.
"Yeah but not mine you idiot." Lucas said with an eye roll standing up grabbing a book off the table, "Look if it lands on the cover Matt you get Brooke's bed and if it lands on the back Jay you can share with her ok." he says but doesn't let them answer before flipping it and seeing it land on the back facing up saying Jason one, "There you go. Jason have fun." he said sitting back in his seat looking up at Brooke who was smiling making him smile.
"Well guess that's it. Everyone if you want to rest or shower or whatever just go ahead. If ya'll want to go out tonight we can or if you want to wait until tomorrow that's fine too." Brooke shrugged.
"Actually B I you don't mind I would rather just staying in tonight. It was a long ass drive and I am beat." Cam said standing up. "I think I may nap for a bit. Love you baby sister and missed you." he smiled kissing her cheek.
"Missed you too." She smiled, "And don't you two do something gross in Quinn's bed." she teased pointing at them.
"I make no promises Quinn." Rachel laughs grabbing her boyfriend's hand as they walk to the back.
"Yeah just clean my sheets and we are fine." Quinn waves it off, "But B me and my baby are out we have dinner plans. I'll call you tomorrow"
"Ok bye Quinn, bye Clay." Brooke smiled giving them both a hug as they headed out. "Jason if you want to go to sleep go ahead I am just going to go make something to eat. Luke, Matt ya'll can rest but if you're hungry or anything just help yourself." She tells them and they all nod as they head back into the rooms to rest.
Look
Now it's been about a year and I'm tryin' to figure out
How could ya?
Forget about who loves you the most
Why would ya?
Heal my heart, heal my brain
Oh how I wish you could feel my pain
Cuz I couldn't get you off my mind if I tried
24/7, 365
Lucas laid in the bed trying to sleep but finding it extremely hard. On top of Matt's crazy snoring for some reason he didn't like the fact he had been here almost an hour and spoken maybe two words to Brooke. He knew he shouldn't talk to her, she probably didn't want to talk to him but there was a little piece of him that wondered what if she did?
Slowly rolling out of his bed, well his bed for the next few weeks he ran his hands through his hair and shuffled his feet down the hall to the kitchen. He figured until he decided on talking to Brooke or not he might as well eat something.
He felt kind of weird digging through Brooke's fridge but at the same time the fact it was Brooke made him seem comfortable. Yet when he heard someone enter the kitchen the uncomfortable feeling come back.
"Oh sorry…I was umm…I was just looking for something to eat." He apologized then felt dumb his first conversation with Brooke is about him digging through her fridge.
"No…umm its ok I told you to make yourself at home." She shrugged and he nodded as the both stood staring at each other in silence.
"Brooke…Luke." They said at the same time making both laugh a little.
"Sorry go ahead." Lucas nodded.
"Oh I was just going to ask if you wanted some help finding something." she offered.
"Oh umm…sure." He agreed and stepped aside as she started to make him something, "Before you start cooking anything has your cooking skills improved over the past year?" he teased.
"My cooking is not that bad." She says spinning to look at him and he just gives her a yeah right look, "Ok your right but I have improved a little, but this is something Quinn made not me." she says and he just laughs leaning up against the counter.
"Well that's very good to know. I do not want to get sick the first day of my vacation." he laughs earning a smack on the arm from her.
"You are so mean." she teases as she spins back around pulling out some left over's. "Do you want something to drink?" she asks popping the food in the oven to warm up.
"Yeah sure." Lucas said as she walked over to the fridge pouring him a drink then walking over handing it to him, "Thanks." He smiled and for just a second his hand grazed hers it amazed him how just that even gave him chills. They feel into a small silence as Brooke cleaned the kitchen some. "Quinn and Clay seem cool."
"Oh yeah I love them. You know I actually went out with Clay first." she tells him as she turns leaning up against the counter.
"Really? Isn't it weird some guy you dated, dating your roommate?"
"Not as weird as my ex boyfriend staying in the same apartment as my current boyfriend." She says crossing her arms over her chest.
"True." Lucas agrees taking a sip of his drink.
"But no we went out like one time. We meet in one of my classes and I agreed to a date. However I knew me and him were a no go when meet Quinn. For weeks Quinn kept saying no Brooke ya'll went out I don't like him. I laughed at her told her she was buts because we went out once there was like nothing there and then we just stayed good friends. I also told her if she didn't agree to a date than I would make sure to find a new apartment leaving her alone with our third roommate who trust me is annoying as hell." She tells him and he just laughs.
"There you go being little Miss Matchmaker." Lucas chuckles.
"I know right. I just figured if two people are completely right for why should it matter if one of them went out with another's friend ya know." Brooke shrugged.
"Yeah…I agree." He nodded since he thought the same thing about him in her in a small way. He always thought him and her were completely right for each other and it didn't matter if everyone else was against it, they were right. But sadly now he knows they weren't.
And my night's so cold, day's so long
They say you don't know what you got til it's gone
When it's gone and I'm trippin how much I miss it
And you're steady walkin 'round like I never existed
And it's hard to understand, you gotta another plan
Tryin' to play hard and you got another man
But you'll never find another like moi
How you ridin' round in your drop-top car
Baby you're star and it's time that you know it
So much love and it's time now we show it
Lucas stood there watching her as they fell into a comfortable silence, most the silences they share are comfortable and knowing it was still like that made Lucas smile a little. However that didn't change the fact he wanted to talk to her
"Brooke I want to say something." he tells her and she turns to look at him and he can see all the worry on her face. The worry that is begging him not to make this being around each other awkward "I just don't know if I should."
"If you're not sure maybe you shouldn't say it." She whispers to him because the last thing she needs is one of his famous Lucas Scott speeches that make her go all weak in the knees. She has Adam she loves Adam but that doesn't mean a part of her heart will always belong to Lucas Scott. And that part as much as she hates it will always go stupid when he says something amazingly perfect to her.
"No I just…" he pauses leaning off the counter walking over to her and slipping his hands in hers.
"Lucas please don't." she almost begs shaking her head at him looking down but not pulling her hands away from his.
"I just want you to know that…please look at me." he asks but she just stays looking down, "Brooke…" he whispers lifting her chin to look at him, "I just want you to know that the only thing I have ever wanted is for you to be happy."
"I am happy Lucas. I am really happy."
"I know I can tell. You may have forgotten but I know you pretty well Brooke. So I can tell how happy you are." He smiles sadly as his hand slowly reaches up tucking a lose strand of hair back behind her ear, "I missed you."
"I missed you too." She whispers back to him and he nods leaning in kissing her forehead and making her whole body shake, before giving her a sad smile and heading back out of the kitchen, "Lucas…" she calls and he turns to look at her, "At one point we were really good friends. I don't know how to get there or anything but I would like to maybe someday get back to that."
"Yeah…" he nodded, "I would like that too."
It's been about a year now
Ain't seen or heard from you
I been missin' you crazy
How do you, how do you sleep?
I found the letter you wrote me
It still smells just like you
Damn those sweet memories
How do you, how do you sleep?
So there is the new chapter and I know ya'll may think Brooke is just giving into him and letting go of the past but she isn't she just doesn't want things to be weird while he is there.
But review the chapter and the more reviews the faster the update
:D
