Thanks to those of you reviewing. Buttt come on, I've got 4 times as many reviews on my Brittana story. What's up lurkers? Don't feel like giving a critique or encouragement to get me going? Right now school's busy. I don't have a lot of time to write so every little review counts.

Disclaimer: You knnnnowww.

REVIEWERSSS:

DatBiiitchZee: Yeah, Ardex is pretty cute. A wet Spencer is something everyone needs to see once in their life time...its like the 8th world wonder.

BreakYourHeart: Hey, cliffy resolved for now. Alex does not like bacon. I'm not fond of it either. Of course you think they need hormonal teenage boy time...no surprise there. Dom Spence might be around a few times in the future. Unfortunately there is no foam or briley in this chapter. Saaad. But theres a bit of Kycy if that makes it a weeee bit better?

READ, REEEVVIEEWW, and ENJJOYY!

Things Unfold

Lucy's POV

I yawn slightly and stretch before getting out of bed. Kyla's already up, crazy yoga person that enjoys the mornings. I shuffle to the kitchen. I don't have to be at the bar for a couple hours. It's good being boss. I plan on relaxing.

As I reach the kitchen I hear a raspy voice coming from the guest room where my sister is staying. "Carmen…no, we can't. I'm serious. Alex is on her way over. She's already disappointed in me….She's my best friend, Carm." Brooke? And my sister? Ashley explained a few things to me as I took my sister back to my office last night. Alex and Carmen were together back at UCLA and all that. From what I saw, Brooke seemed like she hated Carmen. So why is she here and in her bedroom?

I see a flustered Brooke Leighton complete with JBF (just been fucked) hair trudge into the kitchen. She freezes. "Uh..hey Luce." She runs her fingers through her messy hair. I give her my judging quirk of the eyebrow. "Don't worry, I already called Alex. She'll be over any minute." I just watch her closely trying to study how she's acting.

"Lucy, stop scaring the poor girl." Kyla walks through out front door. I smirk as beads of sweat drip down her chest. "And stop perving on me woman." My eyes dart away and I grin sheepishly.

"My bad, Ky. But you know I love you all sweaty and hot from your morning jogs." I walk over to her and pull her close, kissing her gently. Her lips taste of salt and lip gloss. I smirk and run my fingers through her damp hair. "Mornin' lovely." She smiles up at me and gives me a peck.

"Ugh, dude. I don't wanna see that. It's like…I dunno watching family get it on or something." Alex walks through the door with a smirk. She's only teasing. Although with the way she's capturing Arden's heart…she may just become family.

"Whatever, Al." I smirk and pull her into a hug.

"Dude, gross. Schweatay schnastyness. I don't want Kyla's bodily fluids on me." That sounded a whole lot dirtier than it should have. I hit her shoulder. She smirks, "I kid. I'd be honored to have anything that came out of Kyla Davies body to cover me." Gross…or sexy? I have no idea, she's just weird. She kneels before Kyla and I chuckle, shaking my head. "M'lady." She kisses Kyla's hand. Kyla rolls her eyes and chuckles.

"Get up you goof." Kyla smiles and ruffles her hair.

"Quite the charmer, Coop." Carmen's leaning on the wall, looking at her.

"Yeah, these Davies women. I tell ya." She shakes her head and Kyla hits her arm. "What? I've got a Davies girl okay?" We all look at her. Does that mean…? "We're taking it slow, alright?" Kyla squeals and jumps on Alex in congratulations. Alex chuckles and holds Kyla up while she rambles on. "Ky as much as I love getting in a morning workout. Can you get off me before I drop you?" Kyla nods and hops off, walking over to me and pecking my cheek.

"I'm gonna go shower, babe. Stay here and make sure no one gets killed in our house." I chuckle and press a kiss to her lips, smacking her ass as she walks away. I stare at her backside, damn…that's so mine. I look up at see Brooke looking fairly awkward.

"Hey Brookie." Alex offers gently, smiling a bit. "Rough night?"

"Yeah, you could say that." She rasps out vaguely.

"What happened after I left, how'd you get here?" Alex walks over to Brooke, taking her hands in hers, forcing Brooke to look at her. I feel awkward in this situation so I just sit myself at the counter and listen to them.

Carmen walks over, "We both should explain , Al." Alex looks between them.

Brooke sighs, "I had a thing for Carmen when we first met her. You just happened to grab her attention first."

Flashback-4 years ago. UCLA

No ones POV

Alex and Brooke are talking and chuckling in one of the local coffee shops in LA, notorious for being a lesbian hangout. A tall, Latina girl approaches them.

"Hey, you two go to UCLA right? I think I saw you in my chemistry class. I'm Carmen." Alex and Brooke nod at the figure. Alex and Brooke both checking her out. Brooke's slightly more enticed by the brunette. Alex just smirks.

"Yeah, I'm Alex. This is Brooke. Sucks they have a chem requirement. Should've just taken AP in high school to get out of it." Alex jokes and smiles.

"So you're pretty smart, I'm guessing." Carmen smiles. "I think you could totally pull off that hot librarian look." She adds with a wink.

Alex blushes slightly and shrugs, "I've got a few AP's under my belt. Graduated in the top ten percent of my class and all that."

Brooke looks between the two and sighs inwardly. They've obviously got something going on, she thinks. I'd better step away. Even if I do feel a pull towards Carmen. Eh, It'll go away.

End Flashback

Lucy's POV

"It just never did." Brooke shrugs.

"You really should've told me, Brooke. I'd have backed off." Alex sighs and runs her fingers through her hair. "Probably would've saved me the heart ache." She chuckles ruefully.

"Oh come on, we had some good times, Coop." Carmen wraps an arm around Alex who I notice tenses slightly. God, my sister never learns does she? I know she's a sweet person somewhere in there.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." Alex shrugs, her arm off. "I'm still not gonna be all buddy-buddy with you. You crossed a line last night, Carm."

"Oh come on, you've got the squirt now. So why can't we put this behind us? I mean it was a long time ago. I know what I did was shitty, okay? You were the only one that I thought I was capable of loving and that scared me." I can hear the sincerity in my sister's voice. She really had deep feelings for Al. "So I ran, I escaped and turned to Nikki."

"Surprised you didn't just go for the kill and grab Brooke." Alex grumbles.

"Well unlike you, I knew that your best friend had feelings for me." Alex's head whips in Carmen's direction. "Yeah, I knew. I'd never toy with her like that. It would've crushed both of you."

"You knew?" Brooke walks towards Carmen. "Is that why you kissed me last night? Because you thought I still had feelings for you and I'd be a good fuck to take advantage of?" Brooke growls out a bit. Carmen scrambles to save face.

"No! Brooke, I really care about you, okay? After I screwed up things with Alex, the thing that seemed to hurt me the most was that I was cut off from you. I couldn't talk to you and you wouldn't give me the time of day because of your loyalty to Coop. I realized when I saw you last night and you called me out on my shit that I still had those feelings. I really like you. That's why I kissed you in Lucy's office last night. I felt the same connection that you felt with me that day. I just thought you were taken or not interested because you wouldn't look at me or talk to me. Alex took interest so I took Alex."

"Jeez, wow, I feel just amazing. I feel like some shitty consolation prize. I know it was a long time ago, but really I was playing second to my best friend the whole time, even if you didn't know it completely." Alex exclaims. "You two can just go live happily ever after now. Brooke do you need a ride home or not? Because I'm sure Carmen can give you a ride in everyway possible." Alex growls out. "Or did she do that last night?" Brooke slaps Alex across the face. The room goes silent. I stare in shock. Alex rubs her cheek. "Fucking perfect, Brooke. Really." Brooke moves to touch her and Alex pushes her away. "No, you don't get to play the worried best friend card after you did this. Have fun with your soulmate, I could give a fuck." Alex storms off out of the room. I chase after her.

"Al, stop." She continues walking down the hallway. "Alexandra Cooper, fucking stop right now."

She spins around, "Or what? You gonna slap me? You're gonna hurt me? Is that a Reed thing?" Something snaps and I grab her wrist and spin it behind her, grabbing her other one and restraining her.

"Don't you ever lump me in with my sister or my father." I seethe out. "A cheater and a criminal, I'm none of that shit." Her eyes widen. I've put up with people comparing me to my criminal of a father my whole life. I can't stand it anymore.

"Luce…I'm sorry. I just…It's been so crazy." I can hear her starting to breakdown. I let go of her and she wraps her arms around my neck, burying her face into me. I awkwardly pat her back. I don't do, mushy emotional things. I feel awkward when people other than Ky cry around me.

"Coop, it'll be ok." I whisper softly. She shakes her head. "It will."

"Lucy? Alex?" I hear my girlfriend's voice from behind me. I turn and look.

"Hey Ky. Al, here is having a rough time." She looks at my awkwardness and smiles a bit in understanding.

"I'll take it from here, Luce." She pecks my cheek and Alex looks up from me.

"My bad, Luce. I forgot your not too touchy feely with people other than Ky." She chuckles slightly at the uncomfortable look on my face.

"Yeah, yeah, It's fine. I'm gonna go talk to Brooke and the ass I call a sister. Hope you feel better, Coop." And with that I walk into my apartment to see Brooke Leighton being pinned to the wall by my sister as she whispers things in her ear. Ew. Dude, seriously? "Guys. Come on." I groan.

They pull away. "Despite what you may think…I did not sleep with Carmen last night."

"Yeah, you definitely would've heard. Considering I hear you and Ky at night most of the time." My face flushes. Shit, Kyla will noooot be happy to hear that.

"We just talked and snuggled." My sister? Snuggling? I resist the urge to laugh. Carm awkwardly looks at the ground. So it is true. They have feelings for each other.

"I suggest you two sort your shit out, and then explain said shit to Coop who will either throw said shit in your face or accept it."

"Eloquently put there, Luce." Brooke chuckles and leans into my sister.

"Yeah well. Whatever." I hear giggles and I roll my eyes.
