A/N Sorry guys I have been sick in the hospital so that's what took so long I owe this chapter to my Beta CaseyCoop
"Arrgh,
why are hotel rooms so bloody cold all the time." Brooke complained
as they stepped back into their hotel room after they had finished at
the pool. "Nate, turn up the heat."
Nathan shook his head,
inadvertently shaking droplets of water onto Brooke who squealed. "No
way Brooke, you're cold because you're wet. So don't even think
about turning up the heat, we'll fry." Nathan knew all too well
from previous vacations with the girl he considered his sister that
Brooke liked to keep the heat in a hotel room to the point where the
average person would suffer heat stroke. It wasn't fun. Brooke
huffed in annoyance as she walked over to her bed and her clothes to
get ready; the group were going out into the main city for the night;
it was their first night in Mexico and they all wanted some fun.
"One
hour Brooke." Nathan called as Brooke slammed the door to the
bathroom. "Other people need to take showers too." If he let her
take as long as she needed it would be a repeat of trying to get to
the airport the other day.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah whatever you say."
Brooke grumbled underneath her breath. "I'm going to take as long
as I want and no one can stop me."
That held true for roughly
half an hour before Nathan decided that enough was enough. He jumped
from his waiting position on his bed and banged loudly on the door.
"Come on Davis, time's up."
"Five more minutes then I'll
be done." Brooke called out practically begging for more time; but
it was Nathan and she knew that Nathan wouldn't let her have the
time, no matter how much he loved her. The basketball player barged
through the door and effortlessly lifted her over a shoulder and
carried her out into the main room, placing her in front of the
mirror that was there.
"Brooke, you know I love you, but you can
do your bloody make up out here. I need a shower or Hales is going to
kill me."
Within five minutes, true to her word before, Brooke
had finished her makeup and walked over to her suitcase pulling out
the little silver and white strapless dress with a flower-like
pattern just below the bust, with the bust being pure silver that she
had packed at the last minute. They had decided that they needed to
go somewhere nice on their vacation and that was why she was dressing
up. Once the dress was on, and fitting perfectly she noted, Brooke
went back to the mirror to work on her hair; leaving it cascading
down her back in soft ringlets. Satisfied with how she looked she
relaxed on her bed and picked up a magazine to pass by time.
By
the time Nate emerged from the bathroom, Lucas still hadn't shown
up to get ready.
"Nate,
where's Luke." Brooke asked casually as to where their blond
roommate had gone off to.
"He came in while you were busy in
the shower; he went to go get ready in Mouth and Rachel's room
since they don't take up so much time in the shower." The mention
of the red head that infuriated Brooke, made her emerald eyes narrow
and a scowl to come across her beautiful features.
"Knowing her,
she probably jumped him in the shower, while Mouth wasn't around,
stupid whore." Brooke spoke with such venom in her voice that Nate
had heard only while she talked about Rachel.
"Chill out Davis,
you know – anyone who didn't know you would swear you're
jealous." Nate said in a teasing tone, mentally adding that anyone
who did know would probably say the same thing.
"You bet
your ass I'm jealous. The bitch better not touch my man." Brooke
spoke without realizing what she was actually saying; he wasn't her
man anymore.
Her little outburst was too much for Nate and he
burst out laughing.
"Do you realize what you just said? Wow,
Davis I didn't know you were that protective." He was still
laughing; Brooke through a pillow at him.
"Whatever, we should
get going now. The others will be waiting." Brooke wanted to steer
the topic of conversation away from her little revealing outburst.
She walked over to where she was keeping the shoes she'd brought
for the trip and picked up the pair of four inch silver heels that
went with her dress.
"God, I don't know how you manage to walk
in those and not kill yourself." Nathan couldn't believe it as
she slipped on the shoes. "You are aware that we are in Mexico and
we're walking through crowded streets almost everywhere, right?"
He thought it only fair to warn her about her foot wear.
"Years
of practice Natey boy; I wear them to school all day, I think I can
manage one little night out." She grabbed her bag that was still
sitting on her bed. "Let's go."
They
were in the elevator, with an elderly couple from the States, when
Nate realized something that he couldn't let pass up. "You know,
even in those ridiculously high heels, you're still shorter than
me." The famous Scott smirk that Brooke had grown so used to seeing
across Luke's mouth whenever he teased her now adorned his younger
brother's.
"Shut up." Brooke stuck her tongue out at him
childishly. "I am not short, you're just freakishly tall."
He
still had the stupid smirk on his face. "Whatever get's you
through day and let's you sleep at night, babe." Brooke was about
to reply back when the elevator stopped to let the couple off and to
let more people on. Once the door was cleared Brooke recognized the
welcomed faces of Haley, Jake and Peyton.
"Hey
guys." Jake said as he pressed the close door button. "Damn,
Brooke. You're looking good." Peyton smacked him on the arm.
"Ow, babe; you know you're still the best looking girl here."
He reminded her giving her a gentle kiss.
"P. Sawyer, your
boyfriend's right. You're looking hot tonight." Brooke
complemented her friend who was wearing a simple white mini dress,
which she looked absolutely fabulous in.
Brooke turned to look at
Haley who was wearing a yellow strapless dress that stopped short
above her knees, with a circle pattern on it. "You're looking hot
too Tutor girl."
Nathan wrapped an arm around his short wife's
waist and pulled her in for a kiss. His mouth brushed her ear as he
went to whisper to her. "You look amazing baby." A small blush
crept across the shy girl's face and she gave her husband another
kiss.
Eventually
the group made it down into the lobby where Mouth, Rachel and Lucas
were waiting for them; a cab that could fit them all in already
called and on its way.
"B…Br…Brooke, wow you look amazing."
Lucas Scott was stuttering, Brooke thought it kind of cute. Rachel
thought it kind of pathetic, but Mouth had warned her earlier about
ruining everyone's trip so she kept her thoughts to herself…this
time.
"So, where are we going?" Haley spoke up as Luke
continued to stare at Brooke like he was a small child and she was
the toy that his parent's wouldn't let him have.
"Well, I'm
starving." Brooke replied. "I vote we go find dinner."
The
majority of the group agreed with her; the last thing any of them had
actually eaten was the airplane food and everyone knows that that
food is questionable.
The cab pulled up in front of the hotel and
the group all piled into the backseat.
"Who knows how to speak
Spanish?" Haley asked quietly, suddenly as they realized that their
driver couldn't speak English. All eyes immediately stared back at
Haley; the Tutor Girl.
"I learnt French." She shrugged. "I
don't know Spanish."
For a minute they were surprised that
Tutor Girl, hell really anyone, hadn't thought to bring a phrase
book. Maybe it was better if they just walked till they found a
restaurant. Before they could climb out though, a sigh emitted from
Brooke's cherry red lips and she moved forward in her seat so she
could see the driver.
"Restaurante, por favor." She spoke
quickly, with a sweet smile on her face that boys and men alike
always melted to.
The driver smiled back and nodded before pulling
out into the traffic and throwing Brooke back into her seat. Now all
the eyes that had been focused on Haley were focused on Brooke.
"You
know Spanish?" Lucas sounded surprised as he stared at his ex. She
shrugged modestly in reply.
"Out gardener speaks Spanish."
She admitted. "I learnt a couple of words off him."
The
driver pulled up in front of a small building that had a small sign
advertising that it was a restaurant in English in the front window.
Brooke handed over the fare and a small tip and thanked the driver
again in Spanish. They watched him disappear before they walked into
the restaurant.
Thankfully, their waiter spoke English, so
ordering the food wasn't as dangerous as it could be. The group of
eight ordered a large meal that consisted of all the Mexican food
that they loved – nachos, tacos, enchiladas… and by the time that
the waiter came again to clear away the table they were all
stuffed.
"Where are we going next?" Peyton asked as she leant
back into her chair, even though everyone looked like they just
wanted to sit there for several hours.
"There has to be a club
somewhere around here. I say we all go party." Rachel jumped up
from her seat and grabbed Mouth by the hand. "It's our first
night in Mexico. There's no way you're dragging this down by
sleeping all night." Then she was off, leaving the rest to cover
the bill and catch up to her.
As they
worked their way through the crowded streets, Rachel seemed to know
where they were going, everyone slowly paired off into couples until
it was Brooke and Lucas walking awkwardly next to each other at the
back of the group. Brooke was watching Nathan and Haley in front of
her, their arms were wrapped around each other's waists and they
kept sneaking kisses from each other. She missed that.
Suddenly,
her small petite hand was covered by a larger one, she looked across
to see that Luke wasn't actually looking at her, but he had grabbed
her hand. Brooke didn't say anything as they kept walking; but she
did smile softly. She didn't notice that Haley had sneaked a look
but at the couple and was smiling herself. Her meddling was already
working.
Oh yeah, Brooke sighed to herself as Rachel stopped suddenly in front of what was a club. No one questioned how she knew it was here. This was going to be one interesting holiday.
