Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews. I'm going to make this a Brathan, like most of you requested. This is chapter two. Tell me what you think and please review!! If you have any ideas at all please tell me. Thanks! Oh and to your question about Brooke's secret, you will find out in chapter three.

"Tutorfamily!" Brooke exclaimed as she opened the door.

"Hey Tigger," Haley said as she made her way inside with James, a pissed off look on her face.

"Is it just me or is Haley mad?" Brooke asked Nathan.

"Oh she's mad. Come on, let's go to the kitchen I'll explain," he replied.

As they made their way to the kitchen Shelly ran up to Nate, make-up still on her face, and gave him a big hug. Shel got along with Nate better than anyone, sometimes even more than Brooke and Lucas.

"Uncle Natey!! Tutorfamily here?" she asked

"Yes princess, Tutorfamily's here," Nathan said as he laughed. "And what in the world did you do to your face?"

"Mommy make-up fun" Shelly said.

Nathan laughed. As Brooke watched Nathan and Shelly she felt like her heart was being squeezed. How much longer could she not tell him? Did he already know? They looked so much alike.

"Baby girl, why don't you go get Tutormom to wash your face and let me and uncle Natey talk?" Brooke said.

"Okie dokie," Shelly said as she kissed Nathan on the cheek and jump off to find her aunt, leaving a huge bright red kiss mark on Nathan's cheek.

"Here let me help you get that off," Brooke said as she wetted a piece of paper towel. At the touch of his face, she felt a tingling sensation throughout her body but she just waved it away. "So…what's the deal with you and Hales?"

"Thanks. Um… she says that I'm holding her from her dreams. She wants to go back on tour again. And with no other than Chris Keller…that asshole."

"No! He almost destroyed your marriage!"

"That's what I said. I don't know Brooke….out marriage has been over for a long time now. The only reason we're together is for James. Maybe it's time we ended things. For the past year I've been looking for a reason to move on….maybe one day I'll find it."

That sentence, Our marriage has been over for a long time triggered Brooke to think of that night.

"Brooke? Hello Brooke?" Nathan said as he waved a hand in front of her face, bringing Brooke back to reality.

"Oh sorry, I kindof spaced out"

"You mean like usual?" he joked

"Hey!" Brooke said as she hit him.

"Abuse! Abuse! Call Abuse Control!" Nathan said while trying to avoid Brooke's playful swats. Then he turned to Brooke's dish of lasagna. "And what in the world are you cooking? Call Poison Control too! Can't we just order some pizza?" Swat.

By this time Brooke was laughing really hard. She hadn't laughed this hard in a long time. Lucas was always working and with the kids being busy-bodies, they hadn't had any alone time in a while. It felt good…her….Nathan…laughing like this. But of course, the fun always has to end.

"Hey Brooke, can we start dinner right now? The kids are getting restless," Lucas said as he came into the kitchen.

"Sure," she said. How could she hurt her husband of six years? What would he say if he found out the truth? With a quick glance towards Nathan, Brooke followed her husband out to the dining table.

When they were all seated, Shelly came running in, face cleaned of all make up, and jumped into Nathan's lap.

"I see someone got their face cleaned," Nathan teased

"Me want to be big girl. Me like make up," Shelly said with a pouted face.

As the two talked, Brooke couldn't help but catch Lucas looking at them. Did he know? It was pretty obvious and at times she had a feeling that he knew the truth. However, he would never think that she did such a thing. But she had. On the one fateful night.
