After The Storm
Chapter 21
Àuthors note : more to come thank you my readers.
It isn't over it still isn't over.
Reservations. A tucked away booth. Order anything off the menu he in insists.
We order our meals and have one glass of wine each.
He tells me about his work and I tell him about mine and life here.
(It's time for you to meet Salem. We've kept our relationship under wraps for almost a year.)
(Which I truly appreciate. But if we're going to go the distance. You need to meet the most important person to me.) Brooke explained.
(Plan it and I'll be there.) Lux replied.
The couple made their way home after that. With dessert boxed up.
...
Hours Later
Brooke lingered in bed. Watching him sleep beside her.
She grabbed her cellphone and texted Lucas.
Lux is ready and waiting to meet Salem.
days later
Lucas dropped Salem off in front of Brooke's house.
(You have a good time and give Momma 's friend a chance okay.) Lucas said.
Wanting to be supportive or at the very least pretend to be.
...
Brooke opened the door and engulfed her daughter into a hug.
Salem hugged her mom back.
(Baby I want you to meet officially. My boyfriend Lux Andrews.) Brooke said.
(Lux . This is my heart. Salem Scott.) Brooke introduced.
Lux smiled down at her.
(Salem I've been looking forward to meeting you. I got you some toys and clothing from New York.) Lux said.
(I don't need any new toys or clothes. My momma and daddy get me what I want. And they get the best stuff.) Salem replied.
(Momma I'm tired.) Salem said.
(Okay. Take a nap honey. I'll wake you up later for something to eat.) Brooke replied.
...
(Brooke you don't understand. I everything I could of wanted. I let you walk away. I let my pride get in the way. Peyton was the easy choice.)
(You're where my heart had risks. The only place I had ever been at home.) Lucas explained
Brooke 's face softened. (You don't know what you're saying or what you're feeling.)
(You're drunk Lucas.) Brooke insisted.
But instead of sleep he kissed her. Softly then hard.
Brooke kissed him back. Caressing his face.
She felt him slowly reach for her dress and she didn't stop him.
Instead she reached for his shirt.
Pulling him closer as their bare skin soon touched.
(I love you. I'm in love with you.) Lucas proclaimed.
Brooke was so sure if she turned out the lights or closed her eyes this would be a dream.
But it was happening. Their bodies without clothes. Giving into what they felt.
He called out her name. Never taking his eyes off of her as they became one.
Brooke grasped onto him. Giving him full access to her.
She knew her nails buried into his back. And she cried out to him.
Which only fueled him to give her more pleasure.
The two lost themselves fully. Knowing it would never happen again.
Lucas couldn't escape the memories that were flooding him of Brooke.
