When perfection comes out of nowhere.
Thiswas my first Nathan/Brooke fic. And I had a great time writing it, I hope you enjoy it as well
I'm not giving too much background info, just one thing: Brooke left Tree Hill at the end of sophomore year.
Please reply and tell me what you think!
Chapter 1
Nathan stood at the court, facing the net. Here he was, his life... A player for the San Antonio Spurs. The life he wanted... with one lack: Haley. After almost 10 years of marriage, ever since they were 16, she left last year. He guessed they grew up in different directions and San Antonio was not the place for a woman like Haley anymore.
But it was for him. After all, he didn't wanna become the new version of his father. He wanted a quiet life. As much as he could. Play b-ball in a good team (and the Spurs were great with him), a family, a nice house and peace. Quietness. Was that too much to ask for?
"Nathan, my friend..." he heard a voice
"Hi Manu, everything alright?" said Nathan greeting at the brunette guy. Emanuel Ginobili, aka Manu, player of the Spurs and one of his great pals. Nathan admired him a lot. After all, there he was, an Argentinean guy that took a chance on basketball in the NBA and actually succeeded. Manu and Nathan were great friends in and outside of the court.
"Yes, everything OK in here. You?" asked Manu. The last nine months had been tough on Nathan, with Haley leaving and all. And Manu feared his friend was loosing the joy of life by the minute.
"Yeah" sighed Nathan "I'm OK, I guess"
"Well, we gotta go. We're meeting the team's new PR person in 5 minutes. We don't wanna be late. I heard she's a foxy" Manu teased
Nathan smiled... He hoped this one wasn't like the last one, a complete slut that was all over him and didn't take NO for an answer...
"Let's go" he said and they walked to the exit of the Court.
As they arrived at the conference room, Nathan saw the team all gathered up around a brunette woman. She was facing the team so Nathan couldn't see her face, but she looked familiar... Why did she look familiar?
Then, he heard her laugh... that laugh...
The woman turned her head a little and Nathan saw her profile... No way... after all these years...
"Brooke?" Nathan said and the woman turned around to face him.
