Brooke was done with her new line, she was just about to head home when she decided to check if her husband wanted to go out to dinner or something. You would expect that after three years of marriage they would still be in the newly weds phase and expect to have dinner at home together, but they were far from it.
She speed dialed one on her phone and waited for him to pick up while she put the sketches away, after five rings Nathan picked up.
"Hello" he said.
"Hey, it's me" Brooke said, "I was wondering if you wanted to go to dinner?" she asked hoping he would say yes.
"Umm, I wish I could. But I'm swamped at work, I have a really hard case to solve. Can we do it some other time?" he asked trying to sound apologetic.
Brooke was tired of his crap, it seemed that every time she wanted them to go out he was too busy for her. "Okay" she said, "I'll see you at home. I love you."
"Love you too" he said.
That was the last thing she heard before the line went dead, putting her phone in her bag she walked out of her office. Brooke hated to work late, but every so often it was necessary. The new line wasn't going to design itself.
Walking out of her building she got a great idea, at least it was great in he mind. She crossed the road and walked two blocks to the right. Walking straight into the big building she went for the elevator, after going up seventeen flours the door of the elevator open and she was found with the light of his office on. She walked straight towards his office exited to get to surprise her husband. The closer she got she heard voices, more then one at that. The other voice was of a woman, a woman she had become very familiar with. Brooke walked over to the door and peeked through the crack, she wanted to be prepare before she walked in just hoping that her suspicions weren't true.

"Mr. Scott, I'm going to be going soon. Is there anything else you need?" she asked walking into his office.
Nathan looked at the girl standing before him, "Haley, you can call me Nathan. There is no one else here" he said moving his hands to show her.
"I know" she said, "I'm just use to it" she admitted.
"Will you be working today?" he asked.
Haley nodded still standing by the door.
"Come here" Nathan said calling her with his hand. Haley did as she was asked, not saying a word. "When do you have to be there?" he asked pulling her down to sit on his lap.
"Nathan, we're still at work" she pointed out. He knew the rules, no affection or anything that would give their relationship away at work.
"There's no one here" he said placing his hand on her lap.
"Fine" she said giving up, he always got his way, there was no point in fighting it. "I have to be there in like thirty minutes" she said looking at her watch.
"I'll take you" he said firmly.
"No" She told him, more like an order.
"Why not?" he asked a little hurt.
"I have to go" she said getting up, but was quickly pulled back to his lap.
Not giving her a chance to leave Nathan grabbed her face between his hands and kissed her, he loved the way she kissed him more then his own wife's kisses. What kind of horrible husband would rather kiss another woman, especially when you're wife was such a beautiful one herself.
Haley didn't pull away, instead she straddled him so that it was easier for them to continue there little make out session. Depending the kiss with each second, the were lost in their arms.
Neither one of them noticed the eye poking through the crack on the door, the wide opened, shocked eye. Brooke felt like her whole world was coming apart, she had suspensions. But she always hoped that it was just her imaginations. Not being able to take it anymore she ran towards the elevator and out the building as fast as she could.
She started walking towards no destination, just letting her feet take her were they wanted. She just walked and walked and walked, never thinking about where she would end up. Mostly she thought of the infidelity she had just witnessed. The one person that was suppose to love her and cherish her was with another woman, and not just any woman; his secretary. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she walked, the wind blowing her hair, and the lights reflecting of her gold dress.

"Nathan, I have to go" she said getting of him, "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Wait!" he yelled getting up from his chair, he grabbed his jacket and walked over to her. "I'll go with you" he told her again.
She couldn't tell him no, he just stared at her with his blue eyes. The eyes that could control her with just one look, "okay" she said walking over to her desk and grabbing her bag. "I'll be back, I have to change" she said pointing to the bag she was holding, "can you get my stuff ready?" she asked. When she saw him nod she turned around and walked to the bathroom.
Nathan walked over to the desk located out side his office. He grabbed her purse from the drawer and got her jacket, he placed held on to both of them waiting for her to get back. He felt something vibrate in her bag and he pulled out her phone, only to find the word Lucas blinking on the screen.
"I'll done" she said walking out to him, she held her bag over her shoulder as she approached him. Dressed in ripped washed jeans, and a red t-shirt that was lose on her but also had the bottom part ripped of as well neck line so that it showed her collar bone.
"What are you wearing?" he asked possessively.
"You don't like it?" she asked.
"No" he said, "yes." He saw her give him a confused look and he decided to explain himself, "Yes, but don't you think you're showing to much" he told her.
"You mean like your wife" she shot back taking her purse and jacket from him.
Nathan hated when she used Brooke against him. There was nothing he could do about it, Brooke liked to wear really revealing clothe. He ran to her as she reached the elevator and handed Haley her phone, "your husband called" he announced bitterly.
"Thank you" she said taking the phone. Then she began to call him back.
"Hey you" Lucas said.
"Hey" Haley said walking in the elevator.
"When do you get out tonight?"
"I don't know" she said then bit her lip, while Nathan kissed down her neck. "I'll call you when I get out" she told him.
"Make sure to call me" Lucas said, "I don't want you to be wondering out all alone" he stated.
"I will" she assured him, "I have to go now."
"Okay, I love you" he said.
"Bye" Haley said and ended the call. She wanted to say it back so bad, but she couldn't lie to him. Her feelings had changed in the past year, she didn't know where her heart stood. But she knew she couldn't lie to him like that.
"I Can't do this anymore" she said pushing him away.
The elevator door opened and Nathan walked out followed by her, "Why?" he asked turning to her.
"I can't hurt him like this, he deserves better" she told him.
"Haley, listen to me" he said opening the car door for her, he then closed it and walked to the driver side. Once he was in he began to talk again, "you can't tell him. At least not now, you have to wait for me to tell Brooke."
"Fine" she said agreeing but not liking the idea, "drive" she said clenching her jaw. She felt him hold her hand and began to drive.
After driving for about ten minutes the arrived at the bar, Haley got off the car as did Nathan. "I'll see you inside" she said more like a question.
"You know it" he said giving her a quick peck, "now go" he said spanking her towards the back door of the bar. Once he saw her walk in he walked around to the front.

After walking for what seemed like miles, Brooke decided to stop. Looking around she noticed that she didn't recognize any of her surroundings. Scared that something might happen she looked around to find a taxi, hoping that there was at least one driving around there.
"Taxi" she yelled when she saw the yellow car turned the curb.
The taxi pulled over to where she was, her dress almost matching the color of the car.
Brooke jumped in the back seat and felt that she had seen him before, but wasn't sure were. She did see a lot of people after all.
"Where to miss" he asked turning around to face her. The girl was beautiful, he didn't remember when he saw such a beautiful woman cry. Her mascara was smeared under her eyes, flowing like a black river.
Brooke handed him piece of paper with her address that he wouldn't ask anymore questions.
"Can I ask you something?" he said.
"Yeah" she sniffed as she nodded.
"Why are you crying? A beautiful girl like you should be out having fun, not crying in the back of a cab" he told her.
Brooke smiled just a little at his words, they were the highlight of her night.
"So?" he asked hoping she would tell him.
Brooke took deep breath, letting it all go she began to tell him. She told him everything form her new line and how exited she was to see her husband, to her suspensions and what she actually saw. With every word she said she felt her heart break a little more.
"How about I take you to a bar" he suggested.
"I guess" Brooke said, "I mean, I have nothing better to do."
"It's set then, we're going to a bar" he said turning the car around to go the other way.
"Excuse me" she said trying to get his attention, "you never told me your name" she said.
"Lucas" he said, "my name is Lucas. Yours?"
"Brooke" she said. Brooke smiled, she actually felt happy with him. She felt like he actually cared. He had just met her and he wanted to help her, thus him taking her to the bar.
Arriving at the bar Lucas parked his taxi and helped her out, he had just met her but felt a good thing being around her. "Have you ever been here?" he asked looking at the sign.
Brooke shook her head, "I don't usually go out" she admitted. She was usually busy, and didn't have time to go out and get drunk. "You?" she asked politely.
"Yeah" he said smiling, "my wife works here" he told her.
Brooke hadn't even paid attention to his hand, it never crossed her mind. "oh" she said embarrassed while at the same time a little mad. She had finally met a nice guy, and he was taken.
"You'll love her, she's so nice" Lucas said.
"I'm glad" she said as they walked in the door.
They walked through the door and tired to adjust to the darkness of the bar. It was full, people dancing all around with beer bottles and glasses of all shapes and sizes.
Lucas looked at the bar hoping to find his wife, he really wanted her to meet the new girl he met. He knew that Haley would just love her. Brooke looked like she would be a great friend.
"Come here" he said pulling her along.
Brooke followed his eyes to see what he was looking at. Her eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw him. There he was, with the girl she had just seen him kiss. Brooke stopped and tried to make him stop, and felt tears coming down her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Lucas asked, then followed her gaze to see what she was looking at. "You know him?" he asked then turned around to her, and saw the black tears once again.
"That's my husband" she admitted.
Lucas turned to see the guy again, but this time he saw more then just the guy. He saw her, his wife kissing him. His heart broke at the sight, he never thought that Haley was capable of that.
Brooke saw a single tear fall from his eyes. It was the first time she had seen a guy cry in public, god forbid Nathan cry at all. "You know her?" she asked using his words.
"That's my wife" he said looking back at the two kissing.
Brooke pulled him closer to him in a hug, she felt so bad for him. He was going through the same thing she was, and the best she could do at the moment was be there for him.
They both stood there looking at how their spouses had an ongoing affair in front of their noses, and did nothing about it.
