Thank you for the feedback, opening chapter here I hope your all on the ride with me :D (im going to do the boy flashbacks in the order that I have had Brooke dating each one) Flashbacks are in italic
Brooke Davis sat her house, on the sofa with a tub of ice cream, curled up by the fire. Today had been a strange day for her, she had Chase and Clay squaring up over her, she had Lucas and Julian squaring up over her, and she also had Nathan bitterly stirring everything he could accompanied with a bottle of beer. She didn't know why she had suddenly become the chosen one, but all these guys seemed to of developed a odd fascination with her, and where now in a complete war of words over who "got" Brooke, unaware that she also had her own choice.
She remembered sitting at the bar with Haley, who was staring daggers at Nathan, and Peyton, who was perched awkwardly next to Luke, even though their marriage was crumbling faster then a cookie.
Nathan and Haley had broken up 6 months ago, and the official divorce had just come through, Haley lived on her own in the big Scott house with Jamie, while Nathan had set up home in the beach house with Clay, which had become a strict boys pad due to both of their needs to cover up their individual heartbreak.
Nathan and Haley had broken up mutually, it was collective of rumours, and the fact that maybe things were getting a bit stale. Nathan accused Haley of reuniting with Chris Keller as soon as he came back to town, while Haley admitted that she thought Nathan was sleeping with Renee, or Carrie. Their marriage had just broken down because of the fact they were away from eachother so much, and they didn't feel as if it was working.
Peyton and Lucas was a funny one, because they were so in love on the day of their wedding, the day Sawyer was born, but Luke had become moody ever since Peyton got back in touch with Jake, knowing about their extensive history together. They weren't broken up yet, but all they did was argue day in, day out, and it had all been made worse the day that Sawyer died a sudden, horrific death.
Brooke still remembered the day 6 months ago where there was a shrill knock on her door; she jumped off the couch, and opened the door to Peyton, whos eyes were big and red and she looked as if she was battling herself not to break down. Brooke eventually got the truth out of her...Sawyer had died in a cot death incident, and had left Peyton, and Lucas heartbroken. Peyton said Lucas had not said it in so many words, but clearly blamed her for "not watching the baby monitor properly". Thats when they moved back to tree hill. Peyton couldn't handle Lucas by herself anymore, and Lucas couldn't seem to do or say anything. He was totally knocked.
She took out her photo album, and smiled as she saw the old photos. She took out one in particular and smiled at the chiselled jaw of the man who she was hugging. Nathan Scott. Her and Nathan were the only people who actually knew that they had secretly dated for a while, after they had made the sex tape. Nathan was such a ass, but she knew under that, was a strong man, just like under her tart with a heart exterior, she would make someone a great girlfriend. She remembered the time.
The morning after the sex tape was done, and Nathan and Brooke woke up. Confused, disorientated, and Nathan with one question
"Damn did I cheat on Peyton again?" he asked, standing up basically revealing everything on show
"She dumped you again" Brooke sighed, rolling her eyes. After the night of her dreams this morning was not matching upto it.
"Oh, right, so im not in the wrong" he smiled, climbing back onto the bed, and Brooke looked at him in disbelief. He had just had sex with his on/off girlfriends best friend, and it was 'ok' because of the fact that they werent together?
"Ass" she mumbled, with a playful smile
"I didn't see you beating me off with a stick" he said, shuffling closer to Brooke
"Why would I do that" she suggestively smiled
"I like you Brooke" Nathan burst out, still with the cool exterior, and she looked at him
"Your with Peyton" she simply said
"I was with Peyton..past tense"
"Who knew you knew what that was" Brooke smirked, raising an eyebrow
"Oh and since when were you one of the brightest stars?" Nathan hit back
"Touche" Brooke agreed, rolling onto her side
"Im not with Peyton anymore, I want to be with you" Nathan suddenly said, again shuffling closer to Brooke so that their bodies melted together. Brooke loved the way it felt, she had always imagined this, waking up with a guy who didn't want her to get out the house..but this was Peytons guy, her best friend..if she knew!
"Nathan..." Brooke started, not knowing what to say..she was completely torn
"Come on Brooke, give us a couple of weeks in secret and if we like we can come out"
"Sorry are we gay now?" Brooke giggled, and Nathan laughed
"You know what I mean..you up for it?" he asked, as she turned around and his eyes met her amber ones
Brooke ran through everything in her head..could she really do this to her best friend? But Peyton was all crushed out on Lucas anyway..that was the argument that one side of her head was displaying..Peyton had never said she liked Luke, but it was pretty obvious
"Arent you hung up on the girl you broke up with yesterday?" Brooke asked, and Nathan expertly brushed the hair out of her face
"If I got upset everytime me and Peyton broke up I would be in some depressed home or something.."Nathan started, not knowing exactly how to extend his sentence
"Im in then" Brooke grinned..she knew what she was doing could be wrong, but it felt right, and hey; what was wrong with her having some fun, she spent so much time propping up Peytons emotions that she had forgot what fun felt like.
"Good" Nathan winked, and curled his arms around Brookes small waist, starting to kiss her neck and she smiled at the morning sunshine
Yeah, she had had some good times with Nathan, some excellent times, some breathtaking times to say the least..but Nathan in high school; was Nathan the ass
"Nathan you were quite clearly eyeing up my best friend!" Brooke smacked him in the arm, while he laughed
"Whats so funny!" she shouted, in frustration
"We did have history you know...why are you so upset?" he asked, wondering what the hell was wrong with his secret girlfriend
"Well you damaged your history when you went out with me..remember that Nathan, your going out with me!" Brooke was clearly upset
"Well as its secret I just want to make sure its still secret" Nathan shrugged
"Oh come on that is a cop out!" Brooke said, pushing him agaisnt the wall, she was in complete control, he looked at her with a confused expression
"Do you want this?" Brooke asked him, just inches from his face
"You know I want you" Nathan quickly said, leaning forward grabbing Brookes face and enticing her in a fierce kiss..he pulled her to him closely, starting to unravel the corset that she had on for the party they had just attended, she moaned as he deepened the kiss, knowing that the way to get Brooke onside was through his sexual ability, because he definitely did not have a way with words. He forcefully commanded Brooke towards the bed as she unbuttoned his shirt, and she climbed on top of him, her brunette locks tickling his face. Then she suddenly realised something, and sat up
"What?" Nathan said, a little bit pissed off
Brooke looked at him for a final time
"You said you want me, not the relationship" Brooke sighed, climbing out from between his legs and taking a blanket with her. She sat at the windowsill, eyeing up Nathan who was still in the bed
"I want you, I want the relationship, anything just come back here" Nathan frowned, and Brooke had to laugh
"You don't get it Nate..I don't want a relationship based on sex, thats the me im trying to get rid of" she said, scrunching up her features in frustration
"I thought we were no strings, secret?" Nathan asked, sitting up
"No Nathan, thats what you thought" She reminded him. It had been a good couple of weeks and he still hadn't suggested anything
"So what do you want?" Nathan asked, confused by all this annoying girl talk
"I want us to come out as a couple..offically" Brooke smiled, with a determined gleam in her eye
"You are kidding right?" Nathan hollowly laughed
"What?"
"Brooke this was only ever a secret thing" Nathan grinned, and looked at her disheartened expression
"Come on who are we kidding, theres Peyton, my dad.." Nathan started, looking at Brooke in a obvious disbelief
"Well thats it..tell all our friends or break up with me" Brooke said, trying not to come across as weak. She stood up and put her hands on her hips. If Nathan liked her as Brooke the girl, and not Brooke the body, he would take a risk for her, he would fight for her
"Fine, don't tell Peyton catch you later" Nathan slid on his shirt, and began buttoning it back up
"Is that all?" he asked, standing up from the bed, oblivious to the pain he caused
"Get out you ass" she darkly replied, opening her bedroom door
"Bye Brooke" he smiled, complete with a eyeroll
"Whatever" she responded, before going to sit in the middle of her bed..would anyone see past the temptation of having sex with her, would anyone see her for the girl, not the body?
Brooke took another spoonful of ice cream and felt a bit downhearted. She knew that relationship meant alot more to her then it had to Nathan, if you could even call it a relationship. But the weeks it had last, it had been so exciting. Obviously it was physically incredible, and when you broke down the facade, the pillow talk with Nathan had been..nice.
Who had she been kidding.
Nathan rolled over as he finally climaxed his sexual desires
"Thanks" he grinned at her, feeling completely satifisfied
"Do you wanna talk?" Brooke asked, sitting up with bedsheets wrapped around her
"No" Nathan shortly said, turning to his side and sleeping
"Thanks" Brooke mimicked
She laughed at the memory. She hadn't found it funny then, but Nathan was such a ass back then it was almost funny to look back on. She sat thoughtfully, gathering all of her beliefs about Nathan. They had had a certain fire, a certain spark about them. They had enough chemistry to burn down the schools science lab, the store cupboard definitely knew that from the one time that Brooke was horny and had grabbed a delighted Nathan in a lunch hour for a session. She had felt so alive when she was with Nathan.
