AN: Here is the second part of Chapter 16. Hope you enjoy, and thanks for the two reviews last time, reviews are the best. Read and review and I don't own anything =)
Chapter 16 (Part 2) ~ "Even the wrong words seem to rhyme. Out of the doubt that fills my mind, I somehow find you and I collide."
"I'm leaving in 2 weeks for a month." Lucas spat out, knowing it would get my attention and force me to face him.
"If you wanna leave then why don't you… wait, what did you say?"
"I'm leaving in 2 weeks for a month long book tour."
"How? When? Why?" I asked, slowly understanding as to why Luke was so upset: he felt bad for leaving alone so soon after the twins were born, what a gentleman. But I was upset too; he never talked it over with me.
"I know… I know that you're upset; just let me explain. Lindsay told me that I needed to go on this book tour and that I can't keep putting if off. So I agreed to go, thinking that Peyton would be here to help. But now that Peyton's not going to here, I'm gonna call Lindsay and tell her that I am not going to go, the family is more important."
"Hey, no you are not. This is your dream, go live it out. I don't wanna hold you back. But you should have talked to me before you decided to go, even if Peyton was here or not."
"Part of me wishes that I would have went the first time she asked, when you were 7 months pregnant. But I didn't then because I didn't want to leave you."
"It's okay… go now. And in one and a half months, we will be sitting in this same spot with the kids. Nothing is going to change. I love you and that's all that matters."
"I love you too, but you we need to talk about what you said…" Lucas started off and I knew where he was taking the conversation, "…Brooke you have to believe me that was a mistake with Peyton; I was stupid and I'll never want to lose you again. You are my world and I love that, but you have to stop brining up Peyton, that was a mistake and you have to understand that. I promise you that. I love you with all my heart, I am so in love with you, you gave me four beautiful kids and for that I am always grateful."
"What else do you like about me?" I asked seductively while cuddling up with him.
"Well… your beautiful face that always puts on a brave face. And…" Lucas wanted to go on, but I had other plans. I started to kiss him and he made my heart race, just like it does whenever he touches me. I started unbuttoning his shirt, intensifying the kiss with each button; I got half way down and then Elijah started to cry. I patted Lucas's stomach and went to get Elijah and bring him in our bed room so he doesn't wake his sister.
