Those Three Words - (Beau Brooks / Luke Brooks Fanfiction)

Chapter Forty Three - Another Party...

It took about three minutes for Beau to finally speak up.

"So... Do you have anything in particular you want to talk about?" He asked, a grin forming on his face.

"Beau." I whined.

"Fine, I think I should start then." I nodded for him to proceed, my heart started racing knowing the conversation ahead. "I know what I did was wrong-"

"Obviously.." I interrupted, rolling my eyes.

"Just let me fucking finish!" He raised his voice, causing me to jump out of my skin. I'd never heard Beau scream like that at me before, I was used to it with his brothers and sometimes Gina but never me.

"Don't fucking swear at me!" I was feeling brave, because if anything, he's the one who had to watch what he said.

"I'm sorry, but that was fu- that was really rude." His tone was full of venom, but at least he stopped shouting. I always hated it when he raised his voice for no reason, it actually frightened me. "Anyway, I know what I did was wrong, but it was for the best. You and I both know that this relationship wouldn't be as strong with Luke in the middle, right?"

"Wrong. Look at us, we're already fighting after being back together for one day!" Wow, it didn't even feel like a day. It felt like we'd been back together for weeks. "Last night was so lovely, the meal might not have gone to plan but coming back here with you, minus the argument, it actually felt like we were an official couple." A smile played on his lips at my words. "But right now it feels like we shouldn't even be together. I thought that the week after you broke up with me would help bring us closer, because I knew we would eventually run back to eachother, but I guess I was wrong."

"Well if you weren't sleeping around after I broke up with you, maybe we would be perfectly fine right now." He spat, my skin crawled at his disgusting reference.

"Sleeping around? Is this a fucking joke? Are you fucking kidding me?!"

"No, I'm not fucking kidding you! I saw the way you looked at Luke, there's no way you guys just 'talked' when you hung out! He's liked you since the day you guys met, I know you like him too, so it was so much more than talking!"

It made me so frustrated that he couldn't trust me. I was telling the truth but he couldn't face it, for some reason, it's as if he couldn't face that I loved him, not Luke.

"Well what about Allysa?"

"What about her?" He asked with confusion filling his face.

"You obviously slept with her."

"What? Come on Bella, you know that isn't true! Or... Is that something Luke told you?" He give me the biggest smart ass smile I'd even seen.

"Luke only told me the truth, even though some of it was pretty unbelievable because of how disgusting it made you sound."

"I disgust you? What could he has possibly said about me that disgusts you?"

"Stop it Beau, this isn't funny." I wanted to hit him.

"So what? I played girls, but you need to remember that was in the past and I don't want to hear you talk about it again." He was stern with his words, but I know I shouldn't have brought it up again.

"Fine." I answered beginning to turn my head to the side, not wanting to look at him any longer.

"Please don't look away from me." He demanded softly. I turned my head back to his direction, but kept my eyes on the floor. He pulled my hands into his and gently stroked them.
