"You seem tired," Rachel commented as Brooke walked around the counter.

"Exhausted," she dropped her purse under the counter and grabbing her apron. "I went out with Quinn last night and didn't get home until late, and then I just couldn't sleep."

Brooke has known Rachel for about a year and half now. She as a person is different. Now of course she is gorgeous, she has the whole model thing going for her and if she wanted to be one money would not be a problem to get started. Rachel's dad is a huge movie producer and everyone knows the Gatina name. However Rachel wants to make things on her own, she doesn't want to get a job because of who her daddy and if she does book a modeling job and someone makes a comment about meeting him or something she walks out. Now of course her dad sends her money that she doesn't want every month and she will take money and just drop it off some doorstep with a note saying 'To you from me, enjoy.'

So to pay the bills she works here with Brooke, argues more with the customers if they annoy her and Brooke is sure has done god knows what to some people meals but she is a great person and Brooke does love her. Plus she doesn't mind watching Easton when Brooke needs and never asks question of why because Brooke knows that if she did know what Brooke did then she would be sending her a 'To you from me,' letter and Brooke would refuse to take that.

"Well can I make your day better tired girl?" the red head smirked leaning against the counter.

"I don't know, this whole grinning thing you have going is freaking me out," Brooke waved her finger around Rachel's face. "I mean you know you are at work right?"

"Yes, Brooklyn," she rolled her eyes."You ruin all my fun and if you aren't nice I won't let you know a secret."

"I'm not sure I want to know any of your secrets," Brooke teased, starting a new pot of coffee to serve and sliding her pencil behind her ear.

"Ok one hello bitch I want Brooke back please go get her and two," she yanked Brooke's arm spinning her around. "You have a customer," she smirked, watching Brooke's jaw drop. "Came in earlier asking if you were working and when I told him not until three he has sat, the whole time."

"He has been here since you opened?" Brooke still stood in awe at the blonde man just a few feet away from her.

"Yes."

"Is that super creepy or super sweet?" she questioned still not pulling her eyes away from him. He looked better now than last night if that was possible. He had on a pair of jeans that looked worn, but not in that I bought these holey pants don't I look cool but more I have been in the yard all day and that was shocking, he didn't have to be in the yard if he didn't want. His shirt was a regular white long sleeve shirt that was pulled up to his elbow and his nice styled hair from last night was now a untamed mess she want to run her hands through.

"I'm not sure but since he is hot I'm going to go with the second one," the red head grinned. "Now go get him darling," she slapped Brooke's ass and rolled her eyes when her boss yelled get to work. "Yeah, yeah get people food, geeze."

Brooke stood frozen on what to do. She had to go see him right? Well not technically he was in her section but she could easily pass him off to many of the other waitresses that were giggling over him. However that did seem a little rude, he did come here looking for her, had sat here most the day waiting for her and she did sort of enjoy how he nervously bounced his foot, carefully tossing a glance around the diner to see if she had arrived, well she assumed it was to see if she had arrived.

"Oh hell," she gave up the debating, slowly moving her feet towards his table. "More coffee?" she offered, letting out a small giggle when he jumped.

"Brooke, hey," Lucas smiled, making her blush when he just kept smiling at her. "Oh yeah," he nodded when she bobbed her head towards his empty cup.

"How has your day been?" she asked, not mentioning knowing he had been there all day.

"Alright, just hanging out. What about you? What have you been doing this Saturday?" he looked back at her again making heat raise on her neck.

"Just hanging out until work," she told him, shifting on her feet.

"That's cool," he laced his fingers together placing them on the table.

"Yeah," she nervously played with her tie on the apron. She couldn't figure out why she was nervous, she spent way too much time around guys and they have never made her blush in a way of a glance and smile. "But umm…can I get you something to eat?"

"Depends."

"On...uh…on what?" she looked down, chewing on her bottom lip.

"If you will eat it with me," he grinned up at her, liking how her eyes widened with shock. He spent hours talking to her last night and she still doesn't believe he would want to ask her out? He thought he dropped some subtle hints last night but since she left without giving a number or anything else he thought he should go with the blunt approach.

"What?" she looked confused.

"Shut your mouth sweetie not cute," Rachel teased, sliding by and pushing Brooke's mouth shut as she moved.

"I'm sorry…" Brooke shook her head coming out of her daze. "What?" she asked again making him laugh.

"I want to take you out to dinner tonight," he spoke slowly and with a lost look she slowly nodded. "Is that a yes?"

"No," she shook her head quickly.

"Oh…" he dropped his gaze down to the table feeling a little stupid.

"No shut up," she slammed her hand to her forehead.

"Excuse me?" Lucas tilted his head not sure why she just told him to shut up. "I'm sorry Brooke; I just must have misread something."

"No, not you," she growled at how stupid she was being.

"I'm extremely lost," he admitted.

"No I'm not saying shut up to you, I'm saying shut up to me," she told him and didn't even clear up his confusion a little. "I didn't mean to say no."

"So you are saying yes?" he chuckled at her confusion, finding it all cute.

"No I'm not saying that either," Brooke told him. "I want to but I can't."

"Oh…ok."

"No crap I didn't mean that either," she huffed slamming the pot on the table and dropping in the booth in front of him, making him laugh. "Don't laugh at me, I told you last night you had to stop me from talking," she whined and he only laughed more. "Can we start over?" she frowned tilting her head.

"I think we might need too," he grinned making her get butterflies in her stomach.

"Ok I want to go out with you," she made sure to say first. "I just can't tonight, I have something going on," she told him, not at all wanting to say what she had going on.

"So what about tomorrow? Can I take you to dinner and maybe a movie tomorrow?" he leaned a little on the table making her grow a little nervous.

"Sure," she smiled, biting her lip.

"Well good," he leaned back in the booth, feeling a lot more relaxed. "You think I could do this write this time and get your number?"

"Yeah," Brooke felt so stupid smiling so much, she never smiled this much. "Here," she handed over her number. "But I have to get back to work, my boss is probably about to have a freak out," she stood up slowly.

"That's ok, I have to head out anyway," he stood up with her, dropping some money on the table. "But I will call you about tomorrow."

"Ok…" Brooke smiled even more.

"Bye Brooke," he waved, standing a little longer before spinning away, walking out the door, tossing a wink before leaving.

"How do you know Mr. Hottie," Rachel came back to her side, hand on hip.

"I met him last night and he just asked me out," Brooke told her, clearing off his table that was pretty much just a coffee cup and tons of sugar and cream packets. Damn he was here awhile, she thought sliding it in the bin.

"Well sink your teeth into that one, making let him sink a little something into you," she smirked, wiggling her brow and making Brooke laugh.

"You're a dumbass," she gave her a shove walking passed to her other tables.

"But you are thinking about!" she called across the restaurant and Brooke sent her a wink.

"Rachel!"

"I know!" she yelled slamming her hands to her side. "Stupid people and their stupid food," she grumbled the rest of the day, clearly not as happy as Brooke.

Short yes but just wanted this one before the next one but I mean of course this chapter would come before the next it's just the order of counting but you know what I mean. Well I think…maybe so…
