Chapter 7: 4 year anniversary…..Surprises in store
After going to bed early the night before everyone was up by 8am. Lucas and Nathan made breakfast for everyone and they had just finished and the girls were getting ready to go shopping for the day on request of Rachel needing a new gym outfit and Peyton needing stuff for Jenny and Haley wanting stuff for School, even though Brooke would have rather stayed at home with Lucas before the craziness of School and Basket-ball and Cheerleading took over, but after thinking about it she decided that a girls day out would be good, considering Lucas literally begged her to go so he could have a guys day. Brooke was thinking after he begged her to leave, he had been acting strange for the last few weeks but her friends told her it was nothing but what if they knew something she didn't, what if he wanted to end the relationship. Yes they had been together for four years today but that doesn't mean anything considering its high school, now there off getting ready to start college but living in the same house and her name is on the lease so it would be extremely awkward if they broke-up. Brooke shook her head of these ridiculous thoughts, she knew that if Lucas wanted to brake-up he would have done it before now and not wait till their 4 year anniversary to do it that would be to cruel and he could never hurt Brooke like that. The girls headed off to Manhattan Mall after getting dressed and saying good-bye to their boyfriend/husband minus Rachel of course, she has yet to find a good man worth her time.
The guys let out a sigh of relief once they heard the car pull away knowing that the girls had left and that they wouldn't be back until late and by that time the girls would come up with a plan for Brooke to end up going home alone and the guys not being home when she got there. However Lucas would be, waiting in the foyer for Brooke.
Nathan: I never thought they'd leave
Lucas: oh I know, Brooke actually didn't want to go something about spending time with me before we got busy we would never see each other.
Jake: Brooke's just worried that something will happen in the next four years to tear you two apart and I don't think she would survive if that happened.
Lucas: that's why I'm proposing I don't want to be away from her ever. I love her more then I thought was possible she was there for me after my parents died and I was there for her when her dad died, we've been through so much together I don't think anything will tear us apart
Nathan: I hope not, at least for both of your sakes, cause your both on the lease for this house and if anything happens then its gonna be really weird
Lucas: you can say that again, but enough of this depressing talk lets get everything ready for tonight, I want it to be super special
Jake: it will be don't worry man
Nathan: Jake's right you got nothing to worry about Brooke loves you and she will certainly say yes
Lucas: god I hope so
After their short conversation the boys got to work cleaning the house and setting the dinning room table with everything they would need to decorate the house. They had a huge banner that had Happy 4 year Anniversary on it. They also had Rose peddles along with Lilly peddles considering those were Brooke's two favourite flowers. There was no wind today so they figured they would set up the back yard. Lucas wanted to have dinner in the back yard under the stars thinking back to their 1 year anniversary, when he surprised Brooke with dinner under the stars and she told him that her and her dad used to do eat outside all the time before he moved away. He wanted her to realize that her dad would be with her all the time and that he missed her and loved her and that she knew he would want her to be happy.
Flashback:
Tonight was Brooke and Lucas' 1 year anniversary and he wanted it to be special, so he decided a special romantic dinner outside under the stars. They were enjoying their night when Brooke spoke up and told Lucas something she has never told anybody before.
Brooke: Luke?
Lucas: yeah?
Brooke: thank you for tonight it means so much to me
Lucas: it's no problem I wanted to do something special for the girl I love
Brooke: did u just say you loved…me?
Lucas: yea I did, cause I do Brooke, I love you Brooke Penelope Davis and I always will
Brooke: (with tears in her eyes) I love you too Lucas Eugene Scott and I always will
Lucas: good glad we got that settled
Brooke: I used to do this with my dad all the time
Lucas: what?
Brooke: this! (motioning to what they were doing) before he moved to Tree Hill he and I would bring our dinner out here and sit under the stars and enjoy the night then he would sing me to sleep and put me to bed, but that all stopped after my parents divorce and he moved
Lucas: oh Brooke I'm so sorry I had no idea - (she cut him off)
Brooke: Luke its fine, this was really sweet and thoughtful I couldn't have asked for anything better for our 1 year.
Lucas: not even this (he pulled out a small velvet black box)
Brooke: Lucas! Tell me that's not what I think it is?
Lucas: (chuckles and responds) no it's a promise ring that someday we will get married and be together forever (he opened the box and Brooke grasped) I hope you like it
Brooke: its perfect and fits perfectly, I love you so, so much boyfriend
Lucas: I love you too pretty girl
Present:
Jake: Luke you okay man?
Lucas: yea just reminiscing
Nathan: about what?
Lucas: Brooke's and mine 1 year anniversary
Jake: ah yes, the celebration of the longest lasting high school relationship at Tree Hill high, I remember that
Lucas: oh don't go there, I was talking about the celebration Brooke and I had that night
Nathan: okay nobody talk about this we don't need to hear it
Lucas: get your head out of the gutter! Nate, we didn't do anything for another 6 months after that
Nathan: your telling me that you and Brooke didn't have sex for 1yr. 6mths.
Lucas: that's right we didn't
Nathan: why the hell not?
Lucas: I don't think that's any of your business but we just weren't ready
Jake: okay lets drop this before everyone becomes more uncomfortable then we already are
Lucas: I agree we need to get back to work, so chop, chop my friends
Nathan/Jake: yes boss (they boys walk off mumbling to each other, thinking Lucas cant hear them)
Nathan: he is so bossy
Jake: I know she has him beyond whipped
Lucas: I heard that
Nathan: he also has hearing like a bat
Lucas: your right I do
Jake: wow, get a life Luke
Lucas: I think I have one, and I plan on spending it with Brooke
Jake: good for you, now lets get to work
Lucas: oh so now you want to work
Nathan: will you shut-up so we can finish otherwise you can do it all by yourself
Lucas: sorry just excited
Nathan/Jake: we know
They guys walked into the back yard to see how big it was and they were shocked to say the least, but they set up the table and chairs in the middle of the yard and put a blanket next to it, and then worked on anything else that needed to be done for the night.
At the mall:
The girls had been at the mall all of an hour and they already had 2 bags each with at least 4 items in each bag and they still had ¾ of the mall to get through. They hadn't had much time to talk, but they did insist that Brooke get a new dress only cause its her anniversary and she deserves to be treated and she was told the same thing from Lucas before she left the house. He had said something about a surprise and that she needed a dress for the night so when they went into Target they lead Brooke over to her size and they all looked through the dresses they had for special occasions. Brooke couldn't find one nice enough for the night even though she had no idea what was going on; Haley and Peyton had no luck and they new what was happening tonight but when Rachel came back she had two dresses with her; one was red not to dark but not to light either and the other was black. They were both really pretty dresses but all the girls agreed that the red one better suited the occasion. Brooke went and tried on the red dress to make sure it fit and that it looked right and as soon as she put it on she didn't want to take it off, it was absolutely the prettiest dress she'd wore and tonight would be a very special occasion. They continued shopping in target for the next 1hr ½, they all ended up leaving with another 2 bags each, but Brooke had bought the most including, the dress, shoes to go with it, earrings and a necklace she had been eyeing online for the past 3 months, along with a few other items that are only meant for Lucas! After leaving target the girls decided it was time to break for lunch considering it was 11am and they were all getting hungry. They headed down to the food court and decided on something greasy and they all headed for taco bell. It had been at least 3 years since any of the girls from Tree Hill has had taco bell, they haven't eaten it since Peyton got pregnant but for Rachel being from Cali she's never had it so this is a first for her. After decided it would be cheaper in ordering the family deal they found a table for 4 cause Jenny was in her stroller sleeping and started eating, the girls devoured their tacos within 10 minutes, being without them so long had to be a sin and Rachel loved them and wanted more, but she settled for the rest of Brooke's fries instead. After the girls finished lunch they decided to check out the music store on there way around the rest of the mall. After another 4 hours of shopping Brooke was beyond tired and ready to go home however Rachel, Haley and Peyton made up the excuses that they were waiting for Jake and Nathan to pick them up from the mall in half an hour for dinner and that Brooke had to wait until they got there, to tired to fight them she sat down on a bench with Jenny and waited till she was told to leave. 10 minutes before the guys were due to arrive the girls all dragged Brooke to the bathroom and made her change into the dress she bought and once that was done the re-applied her make-up and fixed her hair then it was time to meet the guys and for Brooke to head home. Brooke headed for the car just after saying good-bye to the girls and seeing that Jake and Nathan had arrived in one piece, little did she know this was a set up by Lucas for the best night of her life to come.
20 minutes after leaving the mall she arrived at home to find the entire house in darkness, thinking maybe Luke was in bed, little did she know what was awaiting her on the other side of the door. She unloaded her bags from the trunk and walked up to the door and pulled her keys out thinking it would be locked but when she turned the key it didn't click so she pushed the door open to be engulfed by the scent of hundreds of burning candles and the shinning light they put off. Brooke was stunned and lost for words she dropped her bags at her feet and was met by a sweet but passionate kiss from Lucas as he came into view from the living room.
Brooke: you did all of this?
Lucas: I had some help, but yes
Brooke: that's why you made me and the girls' shop all day so we wouldn't ruin the surprise
Lucas: precisely, your not to tired are you?
Brooke: not anymore, this is so sweet thank you
Lucas: this is just the beginning; so Ms. Davis if you would be so kind to follow me
Brooke: I'd be delighted (She took a hold of Lucas arm and he lead her out back to the yard where there were white lights all along the fence and two candles burned on the table they would be dinning on.)
Lucas: go take a seat, and I'll be back with the food
Brooke: okay
Brooke walked down the porch steps to the table and took a seat where she figured she was supposed to be. A few minutes later Lucas came out with the food. It was an Italian dish and it just so happened to be Brooke's favourite which is Cannelloni. The couple sat in silence while eating the fabulous meal he put together, after they finished Luke cleared the table and came back with Brooke's favourite dessert Double Chocolate Cake, drizzled with Carmel and Butterscotch sauce, topped with real whipped cream and a cherry. Brooke was sent to heaven with one bite of the cake but she enjoyed it none the less.
Brooke: thank you Lucas this is about the best day of my life
Lucas: the nights not over yet and I still have one surprise left
Brooke: but you''ve done so much already
Lucas: just trust me okay pretty girl?
Brooke: okay
Lucas cleared the table once again and this time came back with a remote and held out his hand for Brooke to take, but she just stared at him
Lucas: dance with me
Brooke: of course (Brooke put her napkin on the table and stood up and wrapped her arms around Luke's neck while he hit play on the remote and a slow song started to play and it just happened to be Brooke's all time favourite song (All The Way by Frank Sinatra).
Brooke: you remembered?
Lucas: of course I did, I remember everything
They continued to dance until just before the end of the song and Lucas told Brooke to turn around for a minute and she did, he got down on one knee and help the box in his hand and told her she could turn back around and when she did she didn't see Luke but she looked down and there he was on one knee with a black velvet box in his hand.
Brooke: Lu-(he cut her off)
Lucas: let me talk; (she nodded her head, tears starting to form in her eyes) Brooke we have been together for the last four years, we've been through a lot together, you helped me after losing my parents and I helped you when you lost your dad. We've lived next door to each other since we came to Tree Hill; I still remember the day Dan introduced us to one another you took my breath away wearing that red halter top and mini skirt I honestly don't know what you ever saw in me but you gave me a chance and I am so grateful because I have never been so in love then I am with you. You are my Pretty Girl, my Cherry, my soul mate, my one true love and I have no idea what I'd do without you. So with everything being said I am putting my heart on the line once again and asking you with everything I have in me for you to do me the honour and make me the happiest man in New York at this moment and become my wife. So Brooke Penelope Davis will you marry me? (Lucas opened the box so Brooke could see the ring and it was gorgeous, it was 1.5K diamond with a gold band and an inscription that read 'Always My Cherry'
That was one of the longest speeches Lucas has given to anyone let alone a girl who stole his heart 4 years ago. Brooke was at a loss for words she had no idea what to say, and with the silence Lucas was afraid he was being rejected until she started shaking her head yes and Lucas finally asked
Lucas: is that a yes?
Brooke: (through her tears she managed) yes, oh God yes
Lucas took the ring out of the box and showed her the inscription then slipped it on her finger. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his around her waist and lifted her up and spun her around then put her back down and hit the play button again and another classic song started to play and it was the perfect song for this moment (Lady in Red by Chris de Burgh) they danced till the end of that song then decided it was time for them to go to bed, so Brooke blew out the candles on the table while Lucas picked up the blanket and shook it off and took Brooke's hand and lead her into the house. Before they headed to the bedroom they went around the entire main level blowing out all the candles then headed for the bedroom where Lucas had champagne and chocolate covered strawberries waiting for him and Brooke. She decided it was time to show of one of the surprises she bought for him today so she told him to get comfortable and she'd be right back, she went into the living room and grabbed her bags and headed back to the bedroom and went into the bathroom and changed from her dress into the lingerie she bought. After changing she emerged from the bathroom and walked over to the bed and climbed up and over to Lucas and sat in front of him while he picked up a glass of champagne for her as well as a strawberry covered in chocolate and made sure that some of it dropped down her skimpy out fit so he would be able to clean her up later.
The lights went out in the house so nobody knows what Brooke and Lucas got up to the rest of the night but people have there ideas and that's just the way the soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Scott wanted it.
