"Love or something ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades"
"Oh my god, I hate you. Do you realize what I was gong to do and say to you?" I immediately calmed down once I saw who it was and smacked him on the shoulder.
"I know, I remember how feisty you used to be and I couldn't resist."
"But it's been what three years since you moved? How'd you know I didn't change?" I ask while moving around to make my drink and Luke's as well.
"Well I just guessed…"Nick shrugged. "You're not drinking both of those are you? Cause I didn't know it was that kind of party."
"Haha, no…I'm making one for my boyfriend. C'mon, you have to meet him." I dragged him through the hallway towards where Luke was leaning.
"I was starting to get worried you forgot how to make a drink." I handed Lucas his drink and he pulled me closer, obviously eyeing up Nick.
"Ha, that maybe a skill I will never forget. Luke this is Nick. We spent freshman year glued at the hip until he moved away. Nick, this is my loving boyfriend Lucas."
"Hey man, nice to meet you." Nick put his hand out to shake Lucas's. Of course, Luke took it, but he was still skeptical.
"Ya, same." I picked up on the tone in Luke's voice and tried to calm him down by grabbing his hand and giving it a light squeeze.
"So Nick…where you going to college?"
"A small school like an hour or so south of here. It's nice."
"That's good to hear." I got up and got another round of drinks.
"Hey, so let me just say that I am so glad that you weren't Julian. When Brooke told me her boyfriend was in the other room, I started to freak out. Something about him just rubbed me the wrong way. " This shocked Lucas and now he started to open up to Nick, realizing that he wasn't such a bad guy after all.
"Thanks man, I'm glad to hear that. Ya, I don't really like him either. You don't know what happened do you?"
"No…"
"Not sure if I should be the one telling you this but Brooke loved Julian, and he knew that, but then he turned around and slept with Peyton."
"Wow, I don't even know what to say. I didn't even know that Brooke felt that way. She must have been devastated."
"She was a mess when we met."
"I take it from the tone in your voice that you want to kick his ass?"
"More like beat him to a pulp."
"So what were you guys talking about? I asked as I rejoined the small group. The look Lucas gave Nick didn't go unnoticed by me.
"Nothing much, just school and sports."
"Oh, ok then."
"Hey Nick, come here!" a stranger screamed.
"Well, I guess that's my cue to go."
"Aw, don't be a stranger alright?" I said, getting up off of Lucas's lap to give him a hug and Lucas shook his hand.
"Come dance with me Pretty Girl?"
"I thought you would never ask Broody."
As we were dancing, I couldn't be happier. I may have been a little buzzed but I knew that he was the man I wanted to be with, the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. This is it, I have found what I am looking for and it was in him. I felt defenseless standing next to him; he has all the power and the control and I was ok with that at the moment. Our hips swayed perfectly together to the beat of the music Song after song, minute after minute, we were just one. I turned around to face Lucas to give him a kiss, that kiss was magical and I didn't want to it to stop.
"One more round of shots then we leave?" I asked, not really wanting to leave this moment with Lucas because it was so perfect, but looking into his eyes I could see that he was becoming tired.
"Sure." But one more round turned into five and then we finally made it out the door.
"Uhh, my house or your apartment?"
"Mine. Its closer."
The drive was silent and I was jittery. I've never really spent the night here, he's always spent the night by me. We got there and I pulled out my favorite pair of Lucas's sweats and made my way to the bathroom to change and wash my face.
"Cheery…" Lucas called after me.
"Mhh?"
"Happy Birthday. I love you so much."
"Thanks baby." I leaned in to give him a kiss before walking out the door.
I splashed my face with cold water… I needed to bring myself back to earth, I was on cloud nine. It could have been because of the amount I drank tonight or because of how happy I was. I couldn't remember the last time I was this happy. I slowly made my way back to the bedroom and found Lucas sitting on the bed, watching Sports Center. I pulled his face closer towards mine and began planting kisses all over his face before landing on his lips. As soon as we started getting into the kiss, I rolled over on top of him, my hands roaming all over his body. His hands snaked around and grabbed my back and pulled me closer, deepening the kiss even more. Slowly backing away, I pulled on the draw string of the sweats, revealing the lacey panties I had on. I could tell he was happy and getting excited by my actions. Leaning back over him, I started kissing his cheek and made my way down his perfectly sculpted chest. As soon as I started pulling at his waist band, I felt him tighten up.
"Pretty Girl…Babe, this isn't right."
"What do you mean this isn't right? Am I doing something wrong?" I ran my fingers through my hair.
"No, believe me you're doing the right things. But it is not right to do this when you drank so much. It's not what I want to do."
"Not what you want to with me, just say it Luke."
"No, that's not what I meant."
'Ya, sure…I'm going to sleep on the couch."
"BROOKE!" Lucas rubbed the back of his neck when he heard the door slam.
So I originally wanted this up sooner, but due to the Hurricane I lost power earlier then expected and I just got it back today, making it 6 days. But anyway, here it is and I hope you all enjoy.
