IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES,
DOES IT ALMOST FEEL LIKE YOU'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE

"You're dating Brookella and you never thought to inform me?!" today's paper slammed on the desk; Lucas had heard that tone from his publicist before, so many time he didn't find it threatening at all, despite the woman being quite the witch. Instead of condoning her idiocy with an answer he continued clicking away at his computer and doing everything he could to completely ignore the woman though he knew that wouldn't work for long and certainly wouldn't make her mood any better. "With all due respect"

[/i] she began through gritted teeth "You make my job near impossible by being like this so if you could please look at me, that would be fantastic."[/i] she was trying to sound calmer but it really wasn't working. Still, Luke decided he probably should sort this problem out, if not for himself then for Brookella, he had never cared much about his public image or what crap the press printed about him, he had no one it could hurt but Brookella had things to loose and gain from what the press put on paper and in the magazines. "I didn't inform you because it's a load of crap, as usual. Though I'm surprised it's taken this long for them to jump on this story. We've been friends for years. You know this, now make it go away. Isn't that your job?" he reeled off the information in a flat, unimpressed tone. The woman just looks back at him in a blank sort of fashion, it could have been the fact he was actually complying with her and not fighting everything she said for a change or that she wasn't actually used to take any orders from him, the fact that he never cared meant when he did answer her it was normally with a 'do what you like, I don't care' because he had never seen the point in hiring her in the first place, all she did was try and force him to do interviews and go to swanky parties, all of which he hated. "Well?" with that she scuttled off to make who knows how many phone calls to try and squash the stories they both knew wouldn't be going away any time soon.

"THAT EXPLAINS HOW SHE GOT THE LEAD PART IN HER UP COMING MOVIE"
was one of the many lines that jumped to Luke's mind as he scanned one of the articles. He rolled his eyes before grabbing his phone to text Brookelle who was sure had already seen the articles.
Hey, guess you've seen the 'headlines' if they could ever call them that, wanna meet up somewhere we wont be followed for lunch?
It wasn't quite as hard for him to go off the radar of the paps as it was for her, he was a well known face but he wasn't exactly a front page story kind of icon at any rate, even with this story. Every now and again they jumped on a story like this, linking him to someone, normally an actress in one of his most recent movies and he never really paid much attention to it all, he just let the pr do her thing and sort it. He never wanted to be famous, he never even cared about being rich, they were just the things that had come along with his success that he had to deal with. He arrived at the small coffee shop on the quietest side of town with no one on his tail and found a spot in the corner at the back of the cafe and waited for his friend who he assumed would be stressed as anything.

How dare they! Seriously, she was fuming. She stormed out of the studio with Riley refusing to do the interview that the television producer wanted. They’d already done the interview they were suppose to do, and even that had gone off topic. She didn’t want to talk about her private life on television, she thought it was so tacky when people did that. It was hers and Riley’s business about their relationship and no one elses. He had suggested going to her favourite place to cheer her up, Yo! Sushi, they were just getting the menus when her phone went off and she received a text. It was Lucas asking if they could meet up. She knew It was bad to leave Riley, people would be suspicious, he may even be suspicious but she didn’t care, they needed to talk things through so they could work out what they were going to do. it was a load of bollocks but people didn’t always see it that way did they? She sighed and looked at her phone again and replied that she would be there as soon as she could. Riley, I’m really sorry. I need to go and sort this mess out, talk to Lucas she said to him and kissed him then went in her bag for her sunglasses and walked out. Did she feel guilty just leaving him there? Hell yes….and jealous that another woman could just pick him up right there and start talking shit to him about how she would be so much better for him than Brooke because she had never cheated. Brooke made her way back to their apartment and changed to dress down; she didn’t want to be recognised. She then walked down to the main road and hailed a cab and then received a text saying he was at the small Starbucks in the quiet end of town and asked the driver to go there. Before she got out and paid the driver he looked at her. You’re that Brooke actress aren’t you? Man you are hot….I think even if you cheated on me I would still take you back he said. uhhh….. she didn’t know what to reply and just gave him the money, telling him to keep the change and went straight in to order herself a frappachino and a sandwich. She had to admit that she had never been in a situation where she had been accused of cheating. She looked around and thankfully no one was looking much at her as she sat down opposite Lucas, she was sure someone at some point would recognise them and then there would be more in the news. ‘LUCAS AND BROOKES HOT SECRET HOOK UPS, WHAT WOULD RILEY SAY?’ she frowned at the thought. Taking a sip of her drink and then a bite of her sandwich she then looked at Lucas So, what should we do about this? she asked in a hushed voice. She still had her sunglasses on which was now getting her some looks, but she didn’t want to be noticed, she really did not. This could effectively ruin my relationship she said and saying that was the reason I got my latest movie role? That is just rude! come on let your colours burst tagged tarnie/lucas words 569 outfit here notessorry this took so long!credits irisheyes of C.20
