You Can't Hide Forever

Brooke carefully slipped out of Nathan's grasp, and walked into her bathroom to get ready for a whole new day. She waited to get into the shower water until the water was steaming hot. As she stepped in, she felt her body relax as the hot water poured down her face. After her shower she applied her make perfectly to show off the right parts of her face. She quietly stepped back into her room to find her boyfriend still sleeping. Brooke slowly creped to Nathan side of the bed, and kiss his lips. A few seconds later Nathan was fully awake and kissing back with great intensity. Brooke slowly broke away, and as she did, she saw a frown upon his face.

"What?" She asked, while grinning from ear to ear, already knowing answer.

"You're like the kissing bandit. Every time I spend the night, you wake me up by kissing me, and right when I'm getting into it, you pull away to get ready." He said, and by the sight of her laughing, he knew he was speaking the truth.

"Well, how else am I suppose to get you up?" Brooke said through her laughing.

"Well you could try some of the normal ways."

"Oh yeah? Like what?"

"Calling my name a lot, shaking me, or setting a separate alarm clock for me."

"You know, you can just go home to sleep."

"Ok, fine. I'm ok with your method of waking me up, I love sleeping next to you every night, know I can protect you from everything out in the world. I just hope you don't wake everyone up that way." Nathan said with all seriousness.

"Well I love you being my protector too. And no I do not wake everyone up that way, only people I really love." Brooke said as she leaned over and kissed him ever so lightly, and walked to her closet to finish getting ready. As she did Nathan got out of bed and headed to the dresser. He opened "his" drawer in the dresser. He smiled to himself that he had a drawer in his girlfriend of three year's room. He picked out a simple pair of pants, and a shirt that Brooke bought for his birthday last month.

After he put them on, he saw Brooke walk of the closet in just a jean skirt and her black lace bra, holding out two shirts. The shirt in her right hand was low cut, and purple. In other hand was an off white tank top, and a very light pink half shirt, with buttons and little circle sequence. He pointed to the left hand, and with that, Brooke was back in the walk in closet, putting on the rest of her outfit. After a few minutes, she came out as beautiful as ever.

Brooke walked over to Nathan and gently put her arms around his neck. She quickly peck his lips and dragged him out the door, and on the way to their cars. As they got closer to their cars, Brooke let go of his arm. She wrapped her arms tightly around his waist. "I love you." She said almost in a wispier, but loud enough for him to know what she was saying. "I love you too." He said looking deeply in her eyes.

After their goodbyes, they both walked to their own cars, as Brooke yelled "Nice shirt" with a smile big enough to see her dimples. Nathan replied quickly saying "Thanks, this girl I love bought it for me."

"Nathan Scott, do I have competition?" Brooke said with a shocked facial expression.

"I guess you'll have to see." Nathan said as he jumped in his car and sped away. Following, Brooke got in her light blue, VW Bug convertible and headed in the same direction as Nathan, to Tree hill high school. The place Brooke feared most. She didn't fear the school, just who was in it.
