Chapter Two - Meeting

He had returned to his seat from the bathroom on the plane. He was sitting on the aisle side, and Nathan was by the window. Nathan had noticed a brunette and a tan colored girl with curls sat in the middle aisle. Nathan made a little wave, and the girls smiled.

Lucas sighed looking at the girls, "Really?" he asked looking at his younger half-brother.

Nathan looked at Lucas, "Seriously Luke?" he asked. "It has been a year since you and Peyton broke up, don't you think it's time you move on?"

"There's only one girl in my mind," he said leaning back on the seat.

"Oh right, Brooke's in New York," Nathan said. He smirked, "Finally all the fantasies you've had for the last thirteen years comes true."

Lucas chuckled, "Yeah, I doubt that."

"What do you mean?" Nathan asked.

Lucas put his earphones on, and scanned his i-pod. "Nothing," he said.

Nathan shook his head, and got up from his seat, and went to join the girls who kept looking at him.

…..

Brooke walked into her apartment. Work was exhausting. Haley was making dinner again, this time in Brooke's apartment.

"I'm so glad I gave you the keys, if it wasn't for you I'd be starving," she said.

"I made meatloaf," Haley said turning around and taking it out of the oven.

"Maybe it's not a good thing," Brooke muttered.

Haley laughed, "I'm not THAT bad am I?"

"At least you're trying."

"Anyways, I went on this lunch date with Clayton. NEVER again," she said.

Brooke laughed, "I don't know where you find these boys," she said.

"He talked with his mouth full, he snorts, and his eye twitches. Last time I ever date someone I met from work."

Brooke shook her head, and took a bite of the meatloaf. She coughed, and tried to chew it. She swallowed, and looked up at Haley who was waiting.

"Verdict?" she asked giving Brooke a bottle of water.

"What's that after taste?"

Haley picked up the can that was on the counter, "Shredded chocolates."

Brooke sighed, and gave Haley a look.

"Uggh, I'm bad at this," she said groaning.

Lucas woke up after tossing and turning for the past two hours. "I have to tell him," he muttered getting off his bed. "Nate," he said walking to his brother's bed. He climbed over him, and laid on the empty side. "Nate," he said again hitting him.

"I didn't know you had a husband," he said jumping up.

"It's me," Lucas said.

"Wha-What?" he asked sitting up.

"I have to tell you something," he said.

"What is it Luke?" Nathan asked annoyed.

"You know how Brooke and I have been writing?" he asked.

"Yes."

"Well, I sent her pictures."

"Okay?"

"The pictures were of you."

Nathan's eyes widened, "What? Why?"

"I freaked. She was gorgeous, and I freaked."

Nathan sighed, "Now what?"

"Well, you have to meet her tomorrow."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, I'm serious. Then you got to meet me at the Winchester Hotel for the conference."

"I don't know Luke."

"You owe me," Lucas said. "After all the shit I covered for you, you owe me."

Nathan sighed, "Fine."

"Thanks bro, I'll give you more information tomorrow."

"Yeah, yeah. Now get off my bed, and let me sleep."

Lucas chucked, and got off the bed. He went to his bed, and went to sleep.

….

(The next day)

"Okay, so you meet Lucas, and then I'll meet you at the Café," Brooke said as the two girls got ready in Haley's apartment.

"Are you sure that I should be the one to do this?" Haley asked.

Brooke nodded, "Yeah," she said.

Haley turned and looked at the gorgeous dark haired brunette. "Brooke-"

Brooke shook her head, "Its fine. I'm fine Hales."

"You've waited so long for this."

"I know," she responded.

"You haven't been on a date since Chase."

Brooke looked down at her watch, "I-I have to get to this convention," she said. "I'll meet you at the café at 4," she added, and walked out.

Haley nodded, and looked down at the paper Brooke gave her.

…..

(At the convention)

Lucas found Lindsay in the crowd. Brooke was lurking around trying to find a story. Lucas joined Lindsay, "Hey."

"That was a great interview you did Luke," Lindsay said hugging him.

"Thanks."

"There's Julian," she said seeing a tall dark haired guy talking in the crowd.

He joined them, and pecked Lindsay's lips.

Brooke's mouth fell. Lucas saw her, and walked up to her.

"Can I help you?" he asked.

"Is that Lindsay Stevenson, and Julian Baker?" she asked. "Aren't they editors in the most rivaling publishing companies?" Brooke asked.

Lucas raised an eyebrow, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"I just saw them kiss."

"You saw nothing," Lucas said.

"I got eyes."

Lucas shook his head. This girl was gorgeous. She had dark brown hair, and green eyes. Lucas's phone rang, and he looked at the caller id. "I have to get this," he said, and walked away.

Brooke turned away pulling out her phone. She dialed the number. "Evanson, is Mike there?" she asked. "Oh, ok. Well tell him that I have a good story," she said. "A possible love affair between Lindsay Stevenson, and Julian Baker. I just saw them kiss. No, I think I have a reliable source," she said smiling.

Haley walked through the crowd seeing a tall dark haired man standing right outside of central park. She looked at the paper. "Talk about mom, dad is an asshole and not in his life. He loves literature, he's a writer, and he likes long walks," she said. "So my type if I was boring," she muttered, and quickly put the paper away as she got closer.

He saw her walking towards him. He glanced at the notes in his phone. "She's a journalist, her dog Toby died a year ago, and she loves chocolate," he said out loud. "I got this," he said looking up seeing her reach him.

"Lucas?" she asked.

Nathan smiled, "Yeah, that's me."

Haley eyed him. He was gorgeous. He had that dark mysterious look going for him, and slate blue eyes. "Well, finally."

He chuckled, "Finally."

"So…"

"Um, I'm sorry to hear about Toby. I'm sure you loved him."

Haley looked confused, "Uh yeah, but that was the past."

"But he must have meant a lot to you."

"It's okay. Bad breathe, and lousy kisser."

Nathan's eyes widened, and cleared his throat.

"Anyways, do you want to get out of here?" Haley asked.

"Uh, sure," Nathan said.

Haley smiled, "Have you been to New York?" she asked walking to the side walk.

"No, it's my first time."

"Well, you're in luck," she said raising an arm up to signal a taxi. "You're going to go on one of an experience," she said winking as a cab pulled up in front of her.

Nathan chuckled, and followed her getting into the cab. This girl was completely different from what Lucas pegged her to be.
