Tried Our Best

Chapter 9

authors note : thank you my readers. More to come.

I salvaged little self-respect.

Yeah, I know it didn't last

Cause if you told me what would happen

I'm not allowed to want you any longer.

I still want you back.

"I'm not jealous. I just think it's better for us both if no lines are blurred. The come here go away thing is so overdone."

"We've grown and evolved past the mind games."

"I really have to get home. I rarely have the house to myself." Brooke replied.

"I never cared or gave a damn about any of them."

"You were always the only choice."

"I know i hurt you. I lost sight of us. I blamed you and when i realized how wrong i was."

"You were gone and i can't take it back."

"But i can show you that who you left behind isn't the same person."

"That my heart. Soul. Everything i am. Is still yours." Lucas stated matter of fact.

Brooke wanted to leave. Yet she found herself walking towards him.

"One dance." Brooke said.

He nodded his head in agreement. His hand in hers.

As he scooped her up. Holding her close. The two danced.

She did her best not to look him in the eyes.

Eventually that eyes locked on each other.

She felt her heart leap into her throat.

"I've missed you. I've missed us." Lucas said.

Brooke swallowed hard. When he caressed her face with his hand.

Feeling herself blush. As he whispered in her ear.

At some point he kissed her. She kissed him back.

...

You know what you were doing. When it comes to you.

I have this way of following you're lead. Surrender.

My walls down. My heart raw and full.

I wanted to live in this. Sink in and let it consume me. Brooke thought to herself.

...

You bring out this side of me that feral. Wild and free.

I cannot control myself. I have filter. No censor.

And it's all you're fault. I simply can't get enough of you. Lucas thought to himself.

...

It's safe to say. What went on here. Was unplanned.

I am mean i can't wear that dress again. And if i'm being honest with myself i regret nothing that happened.

If i wanted to stop. It would if ended with a kiss.

I will spare you the details. But it's a good thing.

We ended up with no one here. Besides us.

We know each other from the outside in.

We grew up together. I will never not love this man.
