Lucas stood outside his classroom wondering where Brooke was. She said she was going to meet him but still as he stood here the bell ringing just a few moments ago the brunette in question has yet to show up. There was something about the girl he couldn't stop thinking of. Her little smirks, smiles she had showed him this morning, plus her voice was sexy as hell. It was like raspy and rough but still sexy.
He could tell she was different then most the girls he knew. How he had no clue but she was different, "Brooke!" he called when he saw her turn the corner walking over to her as she held her books close to her almost protecting.
"Oh umm hey Lucas." she half smiled keeping her head down not looking at him. He was cute alright she admitted it but he was way too much trouble she knew. He screamed trouble it dripped off him like many guys she has met in the past and no matter how cute he was she wasn't for his little game.
Of course if it was just her then maybe she would be for the fun flirting, the teasing, screwing with his head thing. However it wasn't just her, it was her and Emma and she grew up a long time ago. She grew up quick and she had to lose that little game of being a teenager.
"I thought you were going to skip again today." He teased a little not even thinking twice before taking her books from her hands to carry them for her. Brooke just kind of looked at him as he took her stuff then started to smile at her as they walked down the hall, "I may be able to get you out of one day skipping but two maybe pushing my luck." He joked and she let out a small laugh turning her head to look back down.
"Lucas look." She stopped in the hall grabbing on to his arm to look at her, "You have been really sweet to me so thanks for that but I don't really need your help. I talked to the principal and he talked to the coach and I have everything worked out." She let him know since when she went home during study hall Lydia insisted on her to at least tell her counselor about Emma and no one else it may help her with classes and stuff. Brooke of course said no but Lydia being the overbearing person she loved called anyway getting Brooke not out of gym but let them know every now and then that class may be missing a certain brunette.
"Oh ok that's cool." Lucas shrugged, "Well can I still walk with you into gym?"
"Lucas…" she sighed a little not really wanting to be mean. For all she knew he was just treating her like he does Haley but she still wasn't sure if he was or was just trying to play her.
"Brooke I'm just trying to be nice." He frowned a little pretty sure he knew what she was thinking. He saw her look this morning with Claire and then again when he walked up to her with Haley. He knew his reputation was already in her head but for some reason he didn't look at Brooke like he did the other girls. Again she was different.
"Yeah alright." She nodded a little as they started walking again. He was just being nice what could it hurt.
Brooke sat on the bleacher watching Lucas practice with Nathan. He really was great and she really could see why everyone sworn over him. His cute little smile, the way his eyes kind of squinted when his brother told him something that apparently was insanely funny, his arms were just amazing and Brooke had to stop herself from licking her lips just imagining what was underneath that shirt that swayed as he moved revealing some of his body but not enough for her.
One guy, that's the number of guys she has been with. Just one which to her was a great number being as all her friends back home were higher than the damn population of this small town, yet as she watched Lucas moved around she couldn't help the feeling of wonder. The wonder of what it would be like to touch him, be with him, have those hands that are bouncing the ball back and forth be on her, rubbing down her body.
Maybe it was the whole somewhat bad boy thing he had going, the sweet innocent smile yet the dirty little looks his eyes read off. The look he would give her as he would turn just for a second to look at her, the little grin that to her seemed just so sneaky.
As he moved around this court there was no doubt in her mind the reason girls line up with want for him. Two days she has known him and already just wants to take him to some back corner and shove her tongue down his throat and feel those perfect smooth looking lips that she knew could just do wonders.
Her heart raced and she moved a little on the bleacher trying to shake the tingles she felt. What was wrong with her? She is a mother and mothers don't feel like that. They don't think like this and they sure as hell don't get all hot and bothered by some guy across the gym. Yet even as a mother she was still an 18 year old teenage girl with a hot guy in front of her. Yeah she knows she said she wasn't for his games. Wasn't for the playing with someone who screamed trouble but she was starting to think differently as she watched him move. Maybe if it was just fun it would be ok. Maybe she could just think about it, just maybe have a little fun. She is a mother but still a girl and she did deserve a little fun…right?
"He is taken." She heard an extremely annoying voice let her know.
"And you are totally too close to me." she informed the dark headed girl sitting next to her. Not even sitting next to her if Brooke moved an inch this girl would be in her lap.
"So you're the new girl I have heard about?" the girl questioned and Brooke swallowed the lump in her throat at her words.
"You heard about?" she asked confused praying heard about wasn't code for the slut who got pregnant at 15.
"Yeah all the guys are talking about the new girl and I am guess that is you." the girl explained rolling her eyes at the thought. This was the girl she has heard about? This was the girl all the guys in her class were just going stupid over? If you ask her this new girl wasn't that great.
"I guess you're right." Brooke waved her hands a little not getting again why this girl was talking to her, "Since you seem to know me who are you?"
"Theresa." She told her like almost stupid she didn't know, "And you need to really stop checking out Lucas. Like I said he is taken." She somewhat snapped at Brooke and Brooke was completely taken back with it.
"Well does he know that?" Brooke asked not getting why this Theresa girl was being such a bitch, she didn't even know her, "Because if I do recall he was the one who talked to me first."
"Oh honey." Theresa laughed shaking her head, "Lucas talks to everyone. Doesn't mean he is serious about them. Plus we have had a thing going for a few months now." She informed the new brunette brushing her dark hair over her shoulder giving Lucas a wink when he looked over.
"Well you can enjoy your thing with him because I never made any attempt to be his little hook up buddy like yourself. I am more of the in a relationship type something you don't seem to into." Brooke shrugged grabbing her stuff standing up, "So though it was not really fun having this conversation I am going to go." She rolled her eyes as she stood up looking over at Lucas then back down climbing off the bleachers and out the gym.
"What you think they were talking about?" Lucas asked his brother nodding his head towards where Brooke just exited and now Theresa sat with an almost victory smile.
"Dude I don't know." Nathan shrugged, "Maybe Theresa was just introducing herself to Brooke. I mean since she is knew and stuff." He guessed grabbing the ball from his brother and moving back down the court.
"Yeah." Lucas kind of mumbled looking at Theresa as she skipped off the bleacher and over to her friends.
Brooke sat almost annoyed on the bench outside. Theresa was something else. She knew her all of five minutes and already knew the girl screamed bitch. Telling her to not look at Lucas like that. She wasn't looking at him in anyway and if she was then it was really none of Theresa's business. Oh right because they had been something for months. Brooke just rolled her eyes at that. Clearly Lucas was not into their little thing if he was talking to her yesterday like he was and with those two girls, well the two she saw, that approached him today.
However even with that she sat there a little nervous. She had her phone in her hand hiding it under her jacket almost as if she was waiting for something to be wrong with Emma. Now of course that was just crazy talk, Lydia was amazing with her and after lunch she went home everything was fine but still she wanted to be home now and even if it was in just a few hours it didn't change the sinking feeling in her stomach about not being with her.
Lydia was amazing, when she moved here towards the end of the summer her parents had friends who recommended the feisty woman as a nanny and they were right. She was amazing; beyond amazing and probably the only person Brooke trusted alone with Emma. Yet that still didn't change Brooke was a mother and being a mother you feel no one can take care of your baby like you. No one can fix a scrapped knee or sooth the tears and cries, no one has a touch that a mother has with their child. Even at 15 Brooke knew that touch, knew that her baby was her world completely.
Brooke's eyes flew up as her heart raced. Something was wrong something wasn't right. Call it mother intuition or just her being crazy but something in her stomach, her brain, and her whole body woke her from her deep sleep about something wrong.
However the room was silent. There was no noise, no cry, no nothing.
She laid there knowing sleep was what called for her being as she had a baby not even three months ago but her heart told her a different thing. And just when she was about to go with the heart the cries echoed through the large home. She knew it; a mother always knows when something is going on before it happens.
"I'll get her." Brooke heard a mumble next to her looking over her shoulder to see her boyfriend head in the pillow and still fighting for his sleep, "You got her last time." he again mumbled but still keeping his buried position of face in pillow and arm protectively around his girlfriends waist.
"It's ok I will." She smiled running her hand over his dark hair figuring with school, practice and work he need his sleep, "Go back to sleep." She whispered kissing his cheek and wasn't even out the door before she heard the snores that escaped him. She laughed a little at that. Mick was trying, he really was but the 2 in the morning wake up calls that their little princess loved to give them was not his favorite thing. Now his diaper changing, his getting her to sleep, his soothing voice that made Emma erupt into laughter was his thing completely.
Who would have thought the star quarter back and ladies man would go all stupid over a little girl all of 15 pounds.
"Shh…" Brooke hushed walking over picking her baby up in her arms, "It's ok baby it's ok." she promised bouncing her up and down in her arms as she rubbed her back, "Mommy has you." she whispered kissing the side of her little head where some hair was just beginning to form.
"She ok?" she heard a tired voice ask turning to look at her boyfriend yawning, leaning against the door scratching his neck.
"I told you to go back to sleep." Brooke said as she sat down in the rocking chair by Emma's crib.
"You got her last time." he shrugged walking over sitting down on the floor gently rubbing his daughter's foot as Brooke cradled her.
"Mick I'm scared." She confessed and his head jerked up to look at her, seeing her eyes watering and whole body seem to be shaking.
"Brooke, baby what is it?" he freaked moving up on his knees brushing her hair back.
"I'm 15 and I have a baby and I am slowly messing up with school and I'm scared that this isn't going to work. That even if I want to best for Emma, give her the best that I won't be able too. That I won't be able to give her all the things that Victoria and Dad gave me."
"Brooke sweetie listen to me." Mick said holding her delicate face in his hand cursing everything he had done to her, "I love you ok." he first told her and she nodded, "I love you and I love Gracie and I am not going to let anything bad happen to ya'll ok? This right here," he smiled waving his arms at her and Emma, "Are my world, ya'll are the most important thing to me and I'm going to give you everything you ever wanted." He promised leaning up kissing her, "Don't be scared, you don't ever have to be scared."
"Brooke you alive in there?" Brooke heard shaking her head and looking up to see Lucas sliding down next to her, "Are you crying?" he asked noticing her eyes glistening a little.
"No I umm…" she shook her head and blinking a few times cursing her thoughts for upsetting her, "I had a damn bug fly in my eye and its burning." She lied hoping he believed it.
"Oh well let me look." He offered spinning in around his body to look at her.
"No its fine." She waved at him but he just laughed.
"Brooke come here." he shook his head taking his hand placing it on her cheek to look at him then lifting her top lid leaning extremely close to her before softly blowing in it.
Brooke swears her heart completely fluttered by his touch and her body shot with tingles. She hasn't been touched by a guy in what was probably over a year. Yeah of course she felt completely stupid for the small action getting all goose bumps and stuff but she really couldn't help it. She was totally sex deprived and clearly sexually frustrated.
"Better?" he asked releasing her eye but still sitting a little too close to her.
"Yeah thanks." She smiled a little.
"You have really pretty eyes." Lucas commented and finding it cute when she blushes a little.
"Thanks." She grinned stupidly cursing her whole self for being so stupid over some guy she knew only two damn days! "So umm…" she moved around to look back at her phone checking to see if she had a message or anything, "Shouldn't you be in there practicing?" she questioned pointing her thumb back over her shoulder at the gym.
"No I would rather sit here with you." he smiled at her and when she nodded with a small smile playing on her gorgeous lips he would love to feel he smiled even more. He kind of wished he could have heard what Brooke was talking about with Theresa. When he saw them talking his stomach sank a little being as he could only imagine what Theresa was saying. Then the fact he knew the little bug in the eye was complete bull, he worried why she was crying.
"Haley said you play basketball." She said trying to make small talk and ignore his little comment.
"Yeah I love it." Lucas smiled as he thought about it, "You play anything?"
"I use to do cheerleading but I don't anymore." Brooke shrugged a little sad. She really did miss it but with everything that went on cheering was just having to be off the list of things to do.
"Why don't you try out?" Lucas questioned, "I mean Hales is on it, she isn't super excited about it but she does it to see Nathan, well spend more time with Nathan but she would love you to cheer with her I'm sure."
"Yeah I would love to but I just have stuff you know."
"Aww…" Lucas pouted some, "I thought I could have the prettiest girl in school cheer me on personally." He frowned looking at her and Brooke seriously thinks he is really adorable.
"I'm sorry." she faked her sadness turning to look at him not even thinking as she rested her hand on his thigh, "What if I just come every now and then and sit in the stands cheering you on?"
"Well if you sit in the stand can't you just dress in that cute little cheerleading outfit for me and cheer there?" he smirked and Brooke rolled her eyes, he was good she would give him that.
"You're just going to have to be happy with me cheering for you not in a cheerleading uniform." She told him removing her hand from his leg, "What are you doing?" she asked as he sat there clearly thinking.
"I'm trying to picture you not in your cheerleading uniform." He told her closing his eyes for a second, "Do you have a birth mark on your butt?"
"Lucas!" she shrieked slapping him on the arm as he laughed, "You are not picturing me naked right now!?"
"Well I mean yeah I was trying but then you ruined it." he pouted again.
"You are unbelievable." She rolled her eyes, "Do you normally get that forward with girls you barely know?" she questioned more than sure she already knew the answer. Lucas was a guy who played games with girls and sadly she was slowly becoming the girl he clearly wanted to play them on.
"Come on Pretty Girl give me some credit." Lucas faked being offended placing his hand on his heart, "I am being nice because you Brooke Davis intrigue me."
"I intrigue you huh?" she asked kinking her eyebrow at him.
"Very much and it frustrates me to all ends that I can't figure out why." he confessed honestly and he knows catching her off guard since it caught him off guard saying it.
She wasn't sure what to say to that but just as she goes to make a comment she sees Theresa make her way over to them and when she does Brooke frowned. Lucas saw the frown and it made him a little nervous saying it annoyed him he couldn't figure out why she was so stuck on his brain but her eyes wondered to above his shoulder he turned to see Theresa there and this time he was frowning.
"Luke babe could I get a ride home after school?" Theresa asked clearly not happy Brooke is talking to Lucas after she said to leave him alone.
"I have practice." He told a little annoyed Theresa came up now. Her timing really did suck.
"We duh silly I do too but I need a ride when it's over."
"Can't you ask Rachel or Bevin?" he questioned but knew Rachel was out since she hated Theresa but hoping maybe Bevin would.
"Why can't you just give me the ride?" she asked placing her hands on her hips glaring at Brooke, of course realizing the reason he didn't want to give her a ride home, probably just wanting to give the new girl a ride but in a whole different since of the word.
"Theresa…" Lucas growled wishing she would just go away.
"You know…" Brooke stood up placing her bag on her shoulder wanting to get away from whatever was going on with Theresa and Lucas, "I'll let ya'll talk I think I am just going to head home early."
"Brooke wait." Lucas called standing up and reaching for her hand to stop, "Don't go I like talking to you."
"Well you seem a little busy." She told him nodding her head towards a pissed looking Theresa.
"Brooke come on." Lucas seemed to be begging a little and why he had no clue. Lucas Scott does not beg, he does not plead for anyone but for some reason he liked something about this girl. He meant it when he said she intrigued him because she did. Something about her was just...he didn't know but he wanted to know.
"I'll see you tomorrow Lucas." Brooke said offering a smile and turning on her heels to leave. Once again walking away from him and once again knowing his eyes were on her the whole way to her car.
So I don't know about this chapter. It seems clearly forced which sucks and I'm sorry. My mind I am trying to have go with this story but it's slowly coming to me. I mean I have a chapter believe it or not rewritten for a few chapters into the story but I just have to get the few chapters that get to that one.
I guess my reasoning behind not updating is because my reviews were so much lower for this story then my others so I just assumed no one read it but then all off a sudden this week I have been getting many PM asking if I was going to update so being as I wrote this chapter.
I am hoping the next chapter is way better and I am also hoping you all aren't so mad with the forever update and the fact this one seems so forced that you will be looking for the next chapter.
Well anyway I hope all please review on it and let me know thoughts, comments anything :D
