Chapter 1.

Sex&Sundaes.

Nathan kept replaying the fight in his head. The one where Haley said she was leaving. Knowing she was there with Chris. Nathan wanted her to follow her dreams, but couldn't that just be singing around here for a while? Couldn't that be staying with him, and finishing high school? He didn't trust Chris. He did trust Haley--but he just wasn't sure they could make it through this.

"I can't believe she would do something like this," Brooke sighed, " I just didn't think tutor girl had it in her," Brooke had told Nathan. Everyone else had been walking on eggshells, but she wasn't afraid to speak her mind. She wasn't afraid to say that Haley didn't seem like she had it in her.

Nathan started to push everyone away. He was starting to push away Lucas, Peyton, anyone. He didn't want to talk, and he would be fine. He wasn't sure what would happen with him and Haley. He at first wanted to believe they could make it through this. The only person who he let be there for him was Brooke. She came over every night, and made she he wasn't moping around. When he didn't come to school, she forced him into it.

The summer was coming now. It had been months since Haley left. Nathan wouldn't say he was fine with it--he still missed her everyday, but he felt better then he did when she had first left, that was for sure.

Brooke had been staying in Lucas's old bedroom. He had sort of moved into Dan's--it was a long and complicated story, but he was done with Dan and was planning on moving back in. That was when Brooke showed up at Nathan's apartment, but unlike every other night she had all her packed bags.

"I just have some of my stuff… I told Karen I would be moving into Peyton's, but she is down visiting Jake, so do you mind of I stay here for a couple of days? I didn't want to be living there with Lucas...things are weird with us right now."

Nathan shook his head, "No. Not at all. You can have the bed, I'll crash on the couch,"

Brooke winked, "I assumed that would be the case. No way I would sleep on that nasty thing in your living room that Tim's ass is always all over,"

Before Brooke moved in for the week, Nathan never would have thought twice about Brooke being around too much. It was platonic. True, they did sleep together once, but no one knew about that besides them. Nathan wasn't even sure if Brooke remembered, and he never would bring it up to her again. That first night though, he was in the living room and went to go into the bathroom. He saw her walk out in just her towel- and it reminded him how beautiful Brooke was, how sexy Brooke was. Over the next few days, it had become hard to act normal around her. He sensed she was feeling something too. They were in the kitchen, her third night there. She had PJ shorts on, and a tank top. Nathan had just a pair of basketball shorts on. It was really hot out, and the AC's in the apartments hadn't been working.

Brooke was getting ice cream out of the fridge, she was going to make a sundae.

"I want one too," Nathan told her.

"Then get over here and help me make them,"

She took the ice cream out, and put some into two bowls, putting the syrup on, followed by the whip cream. Putting the stuff back, and taking a bite, she got some chocolate on her cheek.

"You have some, chocolate on you," Nathan told her, smiling.

She tried to get it, missing.

"I'll get it,"

He took his hand and rubbed it off. A shot of electricity shot through the both of them. He kept his hand on her face, and pulled her in and started to kiss her. She kiss him back hard, like it was something she had wanted to do for a long time. He picked her up and placed her on the kitchen table, starting to kiss her neck, and worked her tank top off. They did it right there, on the kitchen counter. They next went into the bedroom, doing it again, before falling asleep in each other's arms. The next morning, Brooke woke up to find Nathan awake beside her.

"Hey you," Brooke said.

"Hey," He told her.

"This is awkward…I guess." She said, after a moment of silence.

"It didn't feel that way last night," Brooke said.

"It didn't. At all. It felt so…right. I just don't know what this all…" Nathan didn't have to finish. Brooke was on the same page.

"Means?" Brooke asked. "I know. It's complicated. You and Haley are still married, I dated your brother, and you dated my best friend--people wouldn't be happy if they knew…"

"Yeah, it wouldn't go over well, at all. To say the least.."

"We just don't let anyone find out. It can be our secret." Brooke smiled.

"So, you think we will do this again, sometime?" Nathan asked.

"I think so," Brooke smiled, "In fact, I think it's going to happen again, right now."
