I got a lot to say to you

Yeah, I got a lot to say

I noticed your eyes are always glued to me

Keeping them here

And it makes no sense at all...

Chapter Two- Feeling A Moment

Brooke had been in New York for a whole week now. Haley left the day after they arrived, and since then all she felt was bored and ignored. Turns out Kade just wasn't as attentive to her here. He was busy most of the time, and Brooke didn't really have much to do. She never thought she would get bored of shopping, but somehow she did.

Everyone in New York seemed so rushed and busy. Everyone but her at least. A lot of the time she found herself down in the lobby talking to Jesse. She thought about just giving up on this whole thing and going home, but she wanted to prove to everyone that she could make it out here. She figured she might as well enroll in a class or something.

She had really been trying with Kade. She really had. But for some reason it just seemed like their spark ran out. It didn't help that he was hardly ever home. She began to wonder why she even moved here for him. She wasn't even sure if she loved him anymore. It was almost like being around him was wearing her out.

----

Brooke had a very uneventful morning, lounging around and attempting to clean the spotless penthouse. Her phone started to ring and she crossed her fingers hoping that it was Haley calling her back She really missed seeing her best friend every day.

She jumped off of the couch, pretty much running to her phone that was on the kitchen counter. When she picked it up she actually found herself frowning as she watched 'Kade' flash across the screen. That wasn't good to frown when your boyfriend called was it?

She answered it anyway, "Hey" she said unenthusiastically into the phone.

"Hey Babe, what are you doing?" Kade asked, his normal content voice.

"Oh, nothing" Brooke sighed, resting her elbows on the counter and holding her head up with her free hand.

"Well, I have something fun for us to do tonight" Kade said happily into the phone.

"You do!" Brooke smiled, perking up just at the thought of actually doing something fun.

"Yeah, we have this basketball charity banquet thing, and you get to come with me. it's a dinner thing, you have to dress up" Kade told Brooke.

"Sounds fun. What time should I be ready?" Brooke asked, excited for a chance to actually get dressed up.

"Be ready by 6" Kade said, "I'll see you tonight, love you…"

"Okay, you too" Brooke said, quickly hanging up the phone and running to her massive closet to find something to wear.

----

Nothing really exciting ever happened in Lucas Scott's life. He had a normal childhood, although his dad was pretty much a pushy-asshole. Other than that, a normal childhood. He went through school, excelling in English and getting decent grades, okay, getting really good grades. He played basketball in High School, and it was his passion. It helped that he was the star of the team. He went to college, played college basketball, then got drafted to play in the NBA.

Even his marriage wasn't exciting. The fact that he didn't want to get married in the first place kind of, well, sucked. His publicist said it would be best for his career, it would show his family side, people liked that. He got extra points if he could have a few kids as soon as possible as well.

He married Peyton Sawyer. He hadn't even known her that long. She was a tall, gangly girl with way too tight blonde curls. She seemed nice when his publicist set them up on their first date. But as soon as they got married, her true self popped out. He was pretty sure she was a gold-digger, Kanye West had her down to an art in his song.

Peyton was an artist, and by using Lucas' somewhat celebrity, she was planning on opening her own art museum. Something small, with just her pieces of course.

The good thing about Peyton was that she was hardly ever home. He figured she didn't like him just as much as he didn't like her. Their marriage was just kind of convenient. But the more he thought about it, it wasn't convenient for him, but for his publicist. It was very convenient for Peyton though, she loved to spend his money, and by using his name, she got her and her friends into all the hot parties.

Lucas had come home to their apartment on his lunch break looking for his wife. She of course wasn't there. He decided to leave her a note about the banquet tonight. He knew that Todd, his publicist, would kill him if she wasn't there.

'Peyton' he scrawled onto a scrap of paper. 'Don't forget. Banquet tonight. 6 pm. -Lucas'

He placed the paper on the fridge, securing it with a magnet and he left.

-----

Lucas wasn't too excited for the basketball banquet. He never looked forward to things like this. The first reason was that he had to wear a tie, and he hated wearing ties. These functions always seemed really stuffy and boring too. He couldn't wait for it to just be over.

He was sitting at a small table with a few of the guys from his team. He couldn't even concentrate on what they were talking about. Peyton was supposed to meet him there, but of course she was late. He was worn out from their little act they had to constantly put on in public. If he was lucky, maybe she just wouldn't come.

He watched the door, waiting for his wife. He saw one of the guys from his team, Kade, come in. Kade had been talking about his girlfriend that was going to be moving in with him for a couple months now, but it looked like he didn't bring her. Looks like they were both flying solo tonight.

"Hey Luke" Kade said, walking towards Lucas and pounding their fists together.

"Hey Kade" Lucas smiled. "Where's your girlfriend?"

Lucas kept an eye on the door while talking to Kade.

"I was running late so I sent a car to go get her, she should be here soon" Kade nodded, "Where's Peyton?"

"Who knows" Lucas shrugged, sipping from his wine glass.

"Well I better go find the coach, let him know I'm here" Kade sighed, scooting his chair out and standing up from the table before walking a way. Lucas just nodded, his attention still focused on the door.

That's when he saw her. The most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Beautiful yet sexy. She walked in the room like she owned the place, throwing her head back as she laughed with the man that took her coat. She had dark brown hair, flowing down over her bare shoulders in waves. Her eyes sparkled and her skin was flawless. She had an amazing smile and dimples that went on for days. She was wearing a tight fitting red strapless dress. She was holding onto a small black clutch and was wearing black pumps. As she walked into the large room it felt like time had stood still. Lucas couldn't help but stare at her. He had never seen her at one of their basketball functions before, and he was wondering what she was doing here. He watched her walk, her hips swaying from side to side, until he lost her in the crowd. His spirits were lifted when he saw her, but they went back down once he lost sight of her.

A few minutes later, right before dinner was served, Peyton showed up. Late of course. She mainly hung around two of her friends but now she was sitting down with Lucas. She held his hand and smiled at him, stealing a few kisses from him every once in awhile. It was wearing Lucas out.

------

Brooke felt out of place here, but she wasn't going to show it. She walked around the large room looking for Kade but she couldn't seem to find him. After wandering around for awhile she finally ran into him and he greeted her with a kiss.

"You look amazing" He told her, holding each of her hands in his as he stood back and admired her.

"Thanks" She grinned, "You don't look so bad yourself" She winked at him, falling into his arms.

He kissed the top of her head, "Come on, I want to introduce you to a few people before dinner starts" He smiled, slinking one arm around her waist, slightly guiding her through the crowded room.

Brooke smiled and shook everyone's hands that she met. She was excited to be out in public, meeting new people. Everyone seemed to like her, one guy seemed to hang on every word she said, he was practically drooling all over himself while staring at her.

"Lucas" Kade called to someone across the room, "Come over here, I want you to meet someone…"

Brooke watched as a blonde guy sitting at a table with his back turned to them, turned around at the sound of Kade's voice. He turned back around, saying something to the curly headed blonde that was sitting next to him then they both stood up walking towards Kade and Brooke.

Brooke couldn't help but notice the guys tie, it wasn't very tight against his neck, you could tell he had been tugging on it. The next thing that she noticed were his eyes. She pretty much got lost into the big blue orbs. This guy was hott, there was no denying that. Brooke then turned her attention to the blonde who was walking over to them along with the hottie. She looked angry, keeping her distance from the guy. She could be pretty, if she did something with that mess of hair, Brooke figured.

----

As Lucas and Peyton approached Kade, his eyes fell on the girl that Kade had his arm wrapped around. It was her, the girl that he noticed earlier. This was Kade's girlfriend? No wonder he raved about her so much. Lucas couldn't help but sigh at his bad luck.

"Hey Lucas, Peyton…this is Brooke" Kade smiled, motioning towards them, "And Brooke, this is my friend Lucas, he's on the team with me, and this is his wife Peyton."

"Its nice to meet you" Brooke smiled, shaking Lucas' hand. When she went to shake Peyton's hand the girl just nodded at her, not smiling, not even offering to shake Brooke's hand that was held out in front of her. She didn't even say anything. What a bitch.

"Its nice to meet you too," Lucas smiled. Brooke couldn't help but stare at his smile. "We've heard so much about you."

"I hope all good?" Brooke giggled nervously. There was just something about this guy…

----

They finished dinner and Brooke was sitting at a small table with Kade and two of his friends. This was the part of the night Brooke hated. The guys were consumed into a heated talk about some rival team and how big of an ass one of the players were. Brooke boredly twisted a strand of curled hair around her finger.

"Hey Kade" She whispered, tapping him on the shoulder and interrupting their conversation.

"Yeah babe?" He asked, holding a finger up to his friends as if to say hold on a second and he turned his attention to Brooke.

"I think I need some air. I'm gonna go outside" Brooke told him. Kade nodded and kissed her on the cheek.

Brooke got up and left the table, walking towards the large glass doors that led to a balcony. Brooke stepped out onto the large balcony, immediately wrapping her arms around herself, trying to shield herself from the cool night air. She rubbed her hands up and down her arms. There was only one other person on the balcony, his arms resting on the ledge as he stared out into the night sky. It was the blonde from earlier. Lucas.

Brooke wasn't sure if she should say anything. They didn't really know each other and he seemed to be thinking. But he seemed like a cool guy and its not like she had anything to lose. She walked up to Lucas, standing next to him and leaning her back against the ledge, her arms still wrapped around herself.

"Hey" she said softly, her face turned towards Lucas.

He looked up at her and smiled. He was excited to see her, there was just something about her.

"Hi" he said to her, immediately noticing the goose bumps covering her arms. "Are you cold?" He asked, reaching an arm out and touching her bare arm. She looked at him, raising her eyebrows, "You're right, dumb question" he laughed, talking off his jacket and placing it on her soft delicate shoulders.

"Thank you" She smiled, "You are quite the gentleman" Brooke laughed.

"I try" He smiled, staring back out into the night. "So how are you liking New York so far?"

"Its…" Brooke said, chewing on her bottom lip, "Good." She decided on, nodding her head, "Yeah, good."

"You don't sound so sure" Lucas told her, squinting his eyes.

"Well, its just different. I really miss my friends…" Brooke trailed off, looking away from his face and down at her hands.

"Yeah, I bet." Lucas sighed. "But you moved her to be with Kade, that's worth it right?"

"Ehh," Brooke let out, before even realizing it. What was she doing! This was one of Kade's friends. "I mean, yeah, of course." She said quickly.

"Uh-huh" Lucas smiled, making Brooke's cheeks blush. "Where is he anyways?"

"Does it matter?" Brooke asked, rolling her eyes. What was it with everyone being so supportive of her and Kade. Even this guy she didn't even know expected her to be with him every second.

"Whoa, alright then" Lucas smiled, holding up his hands as if to backtrack what he was saying.

"Where's your wife?" Brooke shot back at him.

"God only knows" Lucas grumbled. He hated it extra when people used 'wife'.

"No offense, but she seems like a bitch" Brooke laughed, realizing she was probably sticking her foot in her mouth.

"Yeah, tell me about it" Lucas laughed.

Just then, a man walked out with a tray of wine glasses, offering a glass to the both of them. Lucas took two glasses, one for himself and one for Brooke. He told the man thank you and the guy went back into the party.

"Enough about that" Brooke grinned, taking a sip of her wine.

Brooke and Lucas continued to talk about everything. Everything from movies, to books (not Brooke's favorite subject), to life in general.

Brooke set her empty wine glass down on the ground and wrapped her arms around her body. It was starting to get windy, and was getting a little cold. Brooke started out into the dark, night sky and tried to count the stars in the sky. Lucas set his glass down, next to hers and watched her. He saw her shiver and brought his hand up to his arm, running it along her arm.

Brooke looked over at him, liking the way his warm hand felt on her cold arm. She could've swarn she felt a spark when he touched her, but it could've been the wine talking.

"You cold?" he asked, his hand still touching her arm. She nodded and he slowly peeled his hand away. "Let's get you inside then" he smiled.

"Mmm" she nodded, smiling back at him as she started towards the door. He placed a hand on the small of her back, leading her through the doors.

Spark...again.
