Chapter 2-Shower Meetings

Brooke woke the next morning to the sound of knocking at her door. Rolling over, she looked at the clock next to her and groaned as the red numbers flashed 10:30.

"Come in." Brooke mumbled, her voice raspier than usual from the rude awakening. Deb poked her head through the door and smiled at the teen.

"Morning Brooke. Sorry to wake you, but Dan and I have to leave. We'll only be gone a few days, a week at the most. I was just wondering if you wanted to meet Dan before we left?" Brooke sat up and rubbed her eyes, hoping it would help keep them open. Stepping out of bed, she turned to Deb and smiled.

"Sure why not." Both women headed down the stairs and toward the kitchen. Brooke smiled at the man sat on a stool eating a slice of toast while reading the paper.

"Brooke! It's nice to finally meet you. Your parents have told me and Deb so much about you." Dan exclaimed standing up. Brooke looked at him confused.

"Seriously? They have?" Dan Scott nodded his head in response. Brooke noticed that Dan was the total opposite of his wife. While Deb was small, blonde and seemed more to herself, Dan was tall, raven haired and bold.

"We're sorry we have to go on this business trip. It was made before we knew you were coming and we couldn't get out of it."

"Don't worry about it, I'm used to parents going on business trips." Brooke smiled and sat down on a stool across from Dan.

"Well I've got you something," Dan stated fishing into his jacket pocket and pulling out a pair of keys. "Your dad always used to say how much you wanted this car when you were little. I don't know if you changed your mind but here you go." He finished, throwing the keys to Brooke. She caught them with ease and looked between Dan and Deb.

"You bought me a car?! You don't even know me!"

"Well you can't walk everywhere and you definitely can't rely on Nathan giving you a ride." Deb replied smiling at her newest houseguest.

"Come on," Dan continued putting a hand on her shoulder, "Why don't you come and see what it is." Brooke nodded eagerly and followed the two Scott's outside and down to the garage. Dan opened the garage door and smiled at Brooke. Brooke looked into the garage and screamed, jumping up and down. She ran and hugged Deb first and then Dan.

"Oh my god! Thank you so much!" Brooke walked into the garage and ran her hand along the black paint of her new 1967 Chevy Impala.

"It's beautiful." She breathed. She never knew why, but ever since she was four, she had always been interested in cars. As soon as she'd seen a 1967 Chevy Impala for the first time, she knew it was the car she wanted. Dan looked at his watch and then back up at Brooke.

"I'm glad you like it. I'm afraid we have to go now, but we'll talk when we get back. Nathan's in bed and I doubt he'll be up anytime soon." Brooke nodded in response and the three said their goodbyes. After the Scott's had left, Brooke headed into the house and headed upstairs for a shower. After being in their for ten minutes, Brooke heard the door open and someone speak.

"It's just me. I'll clean my teeth and I'll be out." Brooke popped her head from around the shower and smiled.

"I'm guessing your Nathan?" Nathan head spun round and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Umm, yeah…sorry I thought you were my Dad."

"Your mom and dad left about 20 minutes ago for a 'business trip'."

"Oh…who are you?" Brooke looked at the boy in surprise.

"They didn't tell you about me?" Nathan shook his head in response. "Brooke Davis. I've just moved in." Showing her dimpled smile, Nathan once again shook his head.

"Okay then, we'll talk when you're out of the shower and not naked." Brooke laughed in response and nodded, going back to her shower.


An hour later, Brooke headed down the stairs wearing a short denim skirt and a white, silky, spaghetti strapped top, with her long brown hair straightened. She headed into the kitchen, to find Nathan sitting on a stool flipping through a magazine.

"Hey." She said as she sat down next to him.

"Hey, look I'm sorry about earlier."

"Don't worry about it. It's not the first time it's happened." She replied winking at him. Nathan smirked in response and closed the magazine.

"So Brooke Davis, why are you living in my house?"

"My parents know your parents and they kind of kicked me out." Brooke replied sheepishly.

"That sucks."

"I guess. So…wanna go out for breakfast? I need to test drive my new baby!"

"Sure. We can go to Karen's Café. I'm meeting up with some people after though. Come if you like, you can meet everyone then."

"Why not." Brooke replied showing her dimpled smile.

Both teens got up and headed outside toward the garage. Brooke expected the ride to the café to be awkward, considering the two had just met and it was while she was taking a shower, but surprisingly it wasn't. The first ten minutes, Brooke spent listening to Nathan's awed voice saying 'I can't believe my dad bought you a car!', and the rest of the drive, was spent finding more out about each other. Brooke found out that Nathan was on the basketball team, and that after breakfast, they would be meeting the rest of the team and the cheerleaders.

This chapter really sucked I know! I'm sorry! The next one will be better i promise! But at the minute my mind is full of ideas for a Harry Potter fic and I can't seem to concentrate on OTH! Terrible I know! xxx
