Turnaround, every now and then I get a
little bit lonely and you're never coming around
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
Dinner had turned out actually nice the following evening. Lucas had brought her to this cute little restaurant that had barely anyone there. They seated them outside on the little balcony and it was the perfect evening. It was actually kind of warm, the sky was filled with stars, and the table was set up nicely in white linens and floating candles. Of course a couple of the young waitresses recognized Lucas, but they said they'd keep quiet about seeing him…after he posed for pictures and signed autographs. All of the girls were very friendly to her, except one that burned holes in her back for the rest of the time they were there. Lucas had tried to hold her hand at one point but she pulled back. She knew people had cameras and the last thing she needed was a picture of herself turning up and people realizing who she was spending time with. Not that she was embarrassed about spending time with Lucas, quite the opposite actually, but her father would flip a lid. Her relationship with her parents is quite a rocky one. She loves them and they love her, but that is usually the extent to it.
They had walked to the restaurant since it was such a beautiful night and not far. She brought a light sweater to wear over the pretty white, strapless dress she wore. It came to her knees and had pretty beading at the top. She opted to be a bit more casual with a pair of flats. Lucas looked very nice with his gelled hair, black dress pants, and a simple white button up shirt. She chuckled lightly when she thought about the fact that Lucas's pants probably cost more than her entire outfit. He looked at her over his shoulder and squinted his eyes at her, trying to figure out what was so funny, but she just shrugged her shoulders. She had money, but she didn't prefer all the fancy things in life one might think. Clothes were clothes and spending two thousand dollars on a dress to her was ridiculous. You could go to the mall and find one just as nice for maybe only hundreds of dollars, if that. When she looked over at Lucas she noticed that he almost seemed shy tonight; his hands in his pockets and his eyes shifting in front of him. When he noticed her staring he pulled his hand from his pocket and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Whatcha tthinking about Broody," she asked quietly.
"I uhh,,,,I'm not sure," he said and she looked at him like he was a little weird. He knew that sounded stupid, but she was making him nervous for some reason. He decided to just be honest. "You're making me nervous," he said. When he noticed she had stopped he halted and turned to face her.
"I make YOU nervous," she said and laughed. When he nodded his head she took a step closer. She took his hand in her own and pulled him closer. With her other free hand she brought it around his shoulder and ran it through his hair and smirked when he closed his eyes and groaned a little. She leaned up and lightly kissed his ear and whispered huskily, "Why do I make you nervous?"
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
He opened his eyes and took in the brunette beauty in front of him. Her eyes were sparkling under the starry sky and her wavy brunette hair hung over her tanned shoulders. God he wanted to kiss her so bad and she knew it. She knew exactly what she was doing to him and she kept playing the game. He decided he'd show her what it was like to keep doing these things and never actually going through with it.
He pulled her close, almost like he was giving her a hug and she melted into him. She felt so safe and warm in his arms, something she hadn't felt from another in a very long time. He had yet to answer her question, but she didn't mind his closeness. She felt his warm breath on her ear and closed her eyes at how much that actually turned her on, hoping he didn't notice. She let out a very low moan that was almost unnoticeable when she felt his lips gently brush over he neck and up to her ear. "You make me nervous because I want to kiss you almost as bad as you want to kiss me," he said and pulled away from her. He had clearly surprised her and the look on her face was priceless.
"That is not fair Lucas," she snipped at him.
"Oh and what you are doing to me is," he asked back.
She inched forward just a bit so that no one walking by could here. "I am not doing anything to you, you just can't think of anything but sex!"
"You know exactly what you are doing and you keep trying to push my buttons," Lucas growled.
"Screw you," she said and put her hands on her hips. "I was just trying to get to know my FRIEND," she said and clearly stressed the friends part.
"Whatever," he said and started to walk away. When he noticed that she wasn't following he turned around. He knew how to push her buttons and right now he wanted to piss her off for sexually frustrating him. "You going to stand there all night or are you going to move your fat ass." He wasn't prepared for the look of hurt that came across her face. She actually looked like she wanted to cry and he felt bad. When she stormed past him he tried to apologize, but she wouldn't listen.
Lucas didn't go straight back to the hotel. He walked around for a few minutes to clear his head and give Brooke some space. After about fifteen minutes he went back to the room to apologize and enjoy the rest of the weekend, but when he walked in he wasn't prepared to see her shoving stuff into her backs and tears streaming down her face.
"W-What are you doing," Lucas asked but still kept his distance.
Brooke froze with her back to him and quickly wiped away the tears. She didn't want him to know she had been crying. "I'm leaving. This was a bad idea," she said and went into the bathroom to get the rest of her things. When she walked out Lucas stepped in front of her and gently held her arms so she couldn't move.
"I'm sorry. I was a jerk. Please don't leave," he begged. He didn't want her to leave and he knew what he had said had been out of line.
She didn't pull away from him, but she locked her eyes on him when she spoke. "Well sorry isn't good enough Lucas. You know maybe other girls don't care that you talk down to them or treat them as disposable, but I do. I have feelings too Lucas and tonight you proved that you care about no one but yourself," she said and finally pulled out of his grasp. "This has been fun, thanks so much," she spit sarcastically as she zipped up her bag.
He panicked because he didn't want her to leave. In one quick motion he sprung across the room, spun her around, and crashed his lips to hers. For a brief second she didn't respond and he thought she'd pull away and then haul off and deck him. But to his surprise she kissed him back. He gently ran his tongue across her bottom lip and she granted him access. It was unlike any kiss he had shared with another. It was full of emotion and gentle. He brought his hands up and cupped her face. He pulled away even though he didn't want to and leaned his forehead against hers.
"I'm sorry Brooke. I know what I did hurt you and I really had no intention of doing that. I don't want you to leave, please don't leave," he begged "I do care about your feelings, because if I didn't I wouldn't be here right now." His eyes searched hers for any sign that she was going to leave but he couldn't find any anger behind them. She brought her hands up and held his wrists that were still holding her face. She gave him a sad smile and just said okay.
The room that they had was very exquisite and had a balcony with a few lounge chairs outside so they went out to enjoy the rest of the night. Lucas ordered up champagne and brought Brooke out a light blanket before he sat in the chair next to her. He held out his hand in a polite fashion and she linked hers with his.
"Hey Luke," Brooke spoke quietly, breaking the comfortable silence between the two of them.
"Yeah," he said as he turned his head and smiled at her.
"Why are you like this," she said and then quickly rephrased so he understood what she meant. "I mean sometimes you are this amazing guy and other times you can just be so cruel."
He sighed. Many people had asked him this question, but he never found one person that he cared to give the answer to, until tonight. "There was this girl. I was so in love with her and knew I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life when I was fourteen. We were together for five years and although she understood the business she never liked it. She hated the fact that part of my job involved kissing other girls. Those girls were doing their jobs and I never had feelings for any of them. All I thought about was when I got to go home to her. Well I had planned this amazing night for us, although she thought I had to work late. I was going to ask her to marry me and be the person I could start a family with. Well I was the one in for a surprise when I came home and found her in bed with someone else. She told me that she loved me, but she was too young to be with just one person. She told me that we needed to end things and that I needed to go out and experience other relationships. I never spoke to her again. My family was happy because they never liked her much. My mother Karen and father Keith are the most amazing people. They have this storybook romance and a marriage that any person would want. They always taught me to respect women and I wanted to have a marriage like they did. I have tried dating other people but in the end all they want is the fame that comes along with being with me and all the nice things I can buy them. My mother wants me to settle down and hates what I have become. Of course, she would never tell me she didn't love me, but she makes it clear that some of the choices I make disappoint her. And I hate Beth for ruining my planned out life, our planned out life. She made it so I almost hated women and save them as nothing but sex. I wasn't always like this and I'm just at the point where I hate who I am and I know I need to change, but it's hard being who everyone else wants you to be."
Brooke nodded her head understanding a little more why he was the way he was, hell that was kind of her problem too, well except the celebrity part.
"Then you came along. You didn't care that I was a celebrity or anything like that. At first you intrigued me, because to be honest you looked just like the girl I told you about and you had the same kind of personality. I so badly wanted to get with you so that maybe I could hurt her if she saw that," he said and noticed how she tensed up. He gently stroked her palm with his thumb and continued. "But I've gotten to know you and I have to say you are one of the most amazing people I have ever met. You are witty, funny, sarcastic, not afraid to be who you are, and incredibly beautiful. And ever since I've gotten to see that girl, I have wanted nothing more than to get to know you, be in your life, and I won't lie…I've been waiting to kiss you again," he said and smiled as she blushed and gave him a shy smirk.
She leaned over and gently kissed his lips. She pulled away from this kiss but leaned her head next to his and left her hand rubbing on his face. "What about you Brooke, what's your story," he asked genuinely wanting to know.
She laughed a little. "That would take all night," she said and leaned back in her own chair.
"We have all night," he said and urged her to talk. He saw her lightly shiver and stood from his chair. "Sit up for a minute," he said and when she did he maneuvered his way behind her and pulled her close to him, tucking her into the blanket and his body.
"My parents….I love them, but my relationship with them has never been perfect. My father has been trying to get me to marry one of his friends' sons for years now. He has hated everyone I have dated and even urged Jake to cheat on me. As you can see that one actually worked in his favor," she said as Lucas mumbled an I'm sorry and kissed the top of her head.
"If my parents knew that I was here right now, with you, they would shit a brick. My father would probably have you in his office by Monday morning telling you that if you saw me again you would never work again," she said and noticed how he shifted uncomfortably behind her.
"I'm going to be honest with you Lucas. I like you, I do. I've started to like you more than I should but I know nothing would ever come of it. My father is the one who makes sure you get pad and pretty much runs all of the films that you work on. He is the studio big wig and what he says goes. I should have told you all of this before and I'm sorry," she said as she shifted so that she could look at him. He looked like he was deep in thought and a little uncomfortable at the moment. She slumped her shoulders and looked down.
He brought his fingers to her chin and lightly lifted her face. "Hey," he said and gave her a small smile. "I'm here with you because I want to be. If your father has a problem with that, than so be it. I'm not afraid of him and I know that nothing will happen. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I bring in a lot of money for the studios, so I'm pretty sure I'm safe," he said and lightly kissed her.
"It's not that easy," she said and got up from the chair, walking back into the room. He quickly followed her and grabbed her arms to make her face him.
"It is that easy. I want you Brooke, I'd like to try with you and I don't care what anyone has to say about it."
"Lucas we could never go public. My father would ruin you and you would never work again. He has done it before and he has no problem doing it again," she said as she played with a string on his shirt.
"Then we don't go public for a while. Why don't we just try and no one has to know until you are ready. That way if it doesn't work out than you have nothing to worry about."
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
"Lucas," she started but got cut off by his mouth making contact with her own. As much as she wanted to deny her feelings for this guy she couldn't.
"Just be with me Brooke," he mumbled against her lips as they moved backwards towards their bed.
She didn't respond, just slightly nodded, without removing her lips from his. When her legs hit the bed she realized where they were and she pulled away slightly. "Lucas. I..I..I don't want to have sex with you," she said slightly embarrassed.
He chuckled lightly. "We don't have to have sex, I just want to kiss you," he said and brought his lips back to hers. They layed down on the bed and Lucas hovered above her, leaving a trail of kisses from her mouth to her neck. She held onto the back of his head and gently ran her fingers through his short hair. His lips were so soft and felt so amazing along her neck. The mix of that and his hips rocking into hers was making her lose her head quickly. She felt his hands gently roaming underneath her shirt, but his touch was so soft and gentle that she didn't want to stop him. He kissed his way back up to her lips and mumbled how good she felt. The only thing that she could do was moan lightly when she felt how aroused he had become when he pushed his hips back into hers.
She knew that if she did not stop what they were doing that they would be having sex within minutes. He was attractive and doing things to her that she has not done in such a long time. She liked the feelings that he was giving her, but she did not want to be one of those girls who just had sex with him right away. She pushed his face away, breathing heavily. The way that he was looking at her almost made her give in right there. His hair was slightly messy from her running her fingers through it, his lips were swollen from the intensity of their kissing, and his eyes were a blue she had never experienced before. And behind those eyes she saw lust that she knew mirrored her own. "Luke we have to stop," was all she could manage to get out.
She smirked at her and leaned down to kiss her again, but her hand stopped him. "Brooke we are just kissing," he tried.
She actually giggled at that statement. "Lucas we are headed to a whole lot more than kissing and you know it. You can't even control your hands," she said as she felt his fingers toying with the line of her shorts. "And I think," she said as she ran her hand down his body to his aroused member, gently rubbing the outside of his pants and making him moan, "that if we keep doing this, than we will end up doing a lot more than kissing." She leaned up and quickly kissed his lips one more time before pushing him off of her.
For the first time ever Lucas was not mad about the state he was currently being left in. He liked her and he knew that she wasn't ready to have sex with him yet and he respected that, he respected her for that. He looked at her and grinned the cutest grin she had ever seen before giving her a quick kiss and rolling off the bed.
"Where are you going," she asked, hoping he wasn't going to leave.
"Shower," was his simple answer.
"Hot or cold," she teased.
"What do you think," he said as he laughed and closed the bathroom door, earning a laugh from the girl who was quickly creeping into his heart.
Okay so that's the second part-er for the trip. The lyrics were playing from my Glee CD and they inspired me so I used them. I hope some of this new info is helpful to understand the characters. I kind of have my next chapter thought about but I have some more stuff I need to come up with, so be patient I will UD again soon. Thank you to all of you who took the time to read and review last chapter…It is really appreciated! This chapter is dedicated to Tay—because I'll say this is your late B-Day present since I would have done a better job with the last had I known. Lol. But anyways I hope you enjoyed and don't be shy….Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts, whether you liked it or hated it!
