I got off the plane and swung my bag onto my shoulder and went out to grab myself a taxi. I got to his apartment and used the key he had given me and let myself in. I knew he was at the beach so I unpacked my case in the 2 drawers that were empty and waited for him to get home.
About an hour later I heard the front door to the apartment open and I knew it was him just by his walk. A smile formed on my lips as his eyes met mine and he smiled too.
"Hey baby"
He dropped his bag and rushed over to me picking me up and spinning me around "Oh my god you didn't say you were coming?"
"Surprise" I laugh
"I'm so glad you're here. I've missed you so much" he leans down and places a kiss to my lips
"I've missed you"
The apartment door opened again and I looked over Lucas's shoulder to see Aaron walk in "Oh hi Brooke" he waved
"Hey Aaron"
"Dude you never said your girl was coming?" Lucas looked to Aaron and I could tell they were having some sort of communication through their expressions.
"She surprised me" Lucas finally said "we can still go tomorrow though"
"Okay cool. Say about half 11" Lucas nodded
"You don't mind me going out with Aaron tomorrow and then we can go out somewhere for lunch?"
"Of course not babe" I reply leaning up and pecking his lips.
"Okay so Mel and I are gonna go out, we'll see you two later" we wave bye to Aaron and Mel as they leave
"You were on your way this morning when we spoke weren't you?"
I laughed and nodded "I did actually go out with the girls first though for something to eat and then they dropped me at the airport"
"You think you're so clever Pretty girl" I just smile up at him "I love you"
"I love you"
The next morning I stayed in bed while Lucas and Aaron went out. My phone buzzed and I saw Rachel's name pop up. I answer on the third ring.
"Hey girl" She says
"Hey Rach, what's up?"
"Nothing I just thought I'd call" she says
"Owen has gone to grab breakfast and I just thought I haven't spoken to you in a few days"
"Oh yeah sorry about that I was so busy trying to get things done before coming to New York"
"Wait you're in New York?"
"Yeah I surprised Luke last night. You should have seen his face Rach, he is so sweet" I reply
"You two are so in love its unreal and so nice to see. We are all so happy you guys worked it out a year a half ago"
I was happy that we did too. Seeing Lucas happy with Rose literally threw me 360 and I was terrified that I lost him for good. That my stupid insecurities lost me the only guy I truly loved and I am and always will be so grateful that Lucas never fell out of love with me and that he felt it too. I'm just glad he saw that I am his one and he is mine.
"Yeah we too Rach, things worked out perfectly and I cant be happier"
"I'm glad B, you deserve the world and I know for a fact Lucas can and will give it to you"
"Rach I'm back" I hear Owen yell
"In the living room" Rach shouts back "B I'm gonna go have my breakfast, but I'll text you later okay. Love you"
"Love you too Rach"
Just as I got off the phone with Rachel I got a text from Lucas.
I'm gonna be a little longer. Go look around New York and I'll text you to meet me somewhere for lunch. Love you L xxx
I didn't know what Lucas was doing, but he and Aaron have been gone for hours, but I suppose I could do a little shopping while I wait for his text.
I have a quick shower and get ready. I grab my keys and my bag and head out. I get a uber to where I wanted and I knew the next hour or so shopping I'll be in my element.
I walk into my favourite designer store Michael Kors and begin to look around at all the bags and the shoes "Brooke"
I turn around and there she stood Lucas's current ex girlfriend Rose. She was very pretty with her red hair and her freckles. I understood why Lucas fell for her.
"Oh hi Rose" I smile not sure how this conversation was going to go.
I mean she could have not said anything and just walked away, but she didn't. She made herself known which just means she hasn't got bad blood towards me right?
"It's good to see you" I say "how have you been?"
"I've been good thanks, actually I've been great" she replies "how have you been? How is Luke I don't really see him now we don't live on campus?"
"He is good. I actually surprised him last night and now he is out with Aaron. I'll tell him I saw you"
"Yeah that'll be good thank you. I'm actually waiting on my boyfriend" she says "Oh wait there he is now"
She waved him over and my heart dropped to my stomach when I saw who it was. I haven't seen him since I moved to California for college. I thought he moved to London with Nicki because she was pregnant. A shiver ran down my spine as he got closer. A smile appeared on his face.
"Hey baby" He says leaning in and kissing Rose and then his eyes travelled to me and I could see his wasn't expecting to see me either "Brooke"
"Oh you two know each other?"
I slowly nod as does Julian "yeah we eh... We grew us practically inseparable"
"Yeah this is the ex I was telling you about from high school. The girl I practically broke regrettably"
"Oh Brooke was the girl you were meant to marry and have that perfect life with?" Julian nodded "ah, what a small world"
"Yeah erm I thought you moved to London after High school?"
"Yeah I did and for a while me and Nicki tried to get things to work for Bethany, but it didn't last long. Nicki stayed in London with Beth and I transferred to NYU last fall and met Rose"
"So what happens to Beth?"
"I go to visit her on the school breaks or we face time. She's only 2 so she can't come to visit New York yet" he replies.
"I'm glad things have worked out okay for you Julian and I mean that"
He gave me a smile "What about you Brooke how are you and Lucas?"
"we are okay actually better than okay we are great. Things have been good and I'm happy. Like really happy"
He smiles again "I'm really glad you found him Brooke. I was such an idiot and a horrible person back in high school and I really am sorry for how everything went down and how I treated you. You were right to walk away from me"
I appreciate that. I'm glad that he has grown up and seen that you don't treat people like he treated me. I forgave him a long time ago.
"Thank you Julian. I appreciate that" he nods and then looks down at his watch.
"Oh we better get going. We have lunch in 30 minutes"
"It was nice seeing you again Rose" I say waving them off "you too Julian"
I spent another 45 minutes going in and out of shops buying things before I finally got a message from Lucas to meet him at a near by restaurant for lunch.
I get to this nice looking place he has picked and see that Lucas was already sat in the booth. He had ordered us some drinks as I walk up to the table a smile formed on his lips sending butterflies to my stomach.
"Hey pretty girl" he stood up and placed a soft kiss to my lips "I'm so sorry that I've been gone all morning"
"It's okay Luke, you didn't know I was coming so of course you have plans. I went shopping" I laughed showing him the bags.
"So did I" he replies "So I ordered you a drink and some fries for the table. Wasn't sure what you'd want to eat"
The waiter came over a little later and took our order. Once we had be given our food and finished I noticed Lucas just staring at me with intense passion and my heart stopped for a moment.
"Luke you okay?" I asked confused at why he was looking at me like that.
"Yeah" he replies taking my hand in his "Brooke I've been thinking a lot lately and ever since we got back together this has been going through my mind. I have spoken to many people about it and it doesn't leave my mind"
"Okay" I was getting a little nervous at what he was trying to say.
"I've been a while because I met with your dad for breakfast before I went out with Aaron and I'm super nervous, but excited that this could be the next part of our love story and I really hope it is" my heart hammered against my chest "you are the one be of my life and I can not live this life without you by my side. We've had our ups and our down, but we've come out stronger together. We are end game Brooke and I don't want to carry on another day without knowing if you will be my wife" he pulls out a black box and my heart stopped as I grasped.
"Lucas"
"I don't want to go another day without knowing that the near future I can call you my wife, so Brooke Penelope Davis will you do me the honour in marrying me" he opened the box revealing a pretty princess cut diamond on a beautiful white gold band it was perfect.
I just stared down at the ring in awe. I've dreamt about this moment since I was a little girl. I have my very own wedding book that the girls and I created when we were 10. We each have one completely different to each others, but we've dreamt it.
But I didn't imagine ever being married to anyone other than Julian. I realised a long time ago that Julian was a frog and that Lucas is my prince. He recused me when I didn't even realise that I needed to be saved and I'll forever be grateful for that.
"Yes!!! Of course I will baby. Oh my god" I flung my arms around his neck and everyone in the restaurant cheered and clapped making me remembered where we were. Lucas put the ring on my finger and I held it up seeing the diamond bling.
I can't believe I'm engaged.
PLEASE REVIEW!!!
Love you all loads
