What Happens Here..

Haley took Brooke's hand. She still felt like she should be careful around her, but a little fun couldn't hurt right? She hasn't had a girl best friend in all of her life that she could remember, and now here was the prime opportunity to have one. Why pass it up over a gut feeling that could be wrong anyway?

"Well it's nice to meet you Brooke. I really wish we caught up in a different way, but this is better than none right?" Haley laughed lightly and Brooke felt little butterflies in her stomach. God she loved that sound. She's barely been here twenty minutes and already she was drawn to Haley.

"So," Brooke said, trying to get away from the thoughts she was about to have, "What's been happening in good old Tree Hill since I left?"

Haley didn't have much to tell. "Tree Hill is the same sleepy old town that it was before. Not much has changed. It has some interesting people though, like Lucas Scott." As soon as Haley said his name, she got crazy butterflies. Just his name drove her crazy.

Haley looked at Brooke and had a crazy idea. "You wanna meet him? His house is like ten minutes away, and I'm sure you two would get along great." Usually Haley went out of her way to keep Luke away from other girls seeing as how she always got insanely pissed off and jealous whenever he so much as looked at another girl in that way all guys did. But for some crazy reason, she didn't fear Brooke. She didn't exactly trust her, but she didn't fear her either. Besides, she'd make her move on Luke soon enough and then he'd be all hers.

Brooke smiled once again. It was impossible not smile around Haley. She was so bubbly and something about her just made the room instantly feel happy and safe and good. "Yeah sure, I wouldn't mind meeting him. You want to go now, or you want to get ready first? Taylor kind of did a number on you." Brooke said it gently, and felt herself wince inwardly at the slight bruise on Haley's ear.

Haley had totally forgotten she had just fought Taylor. She felt a little twinge of guilt and regret, and looked at the bed. Funnily enough, Taylor was snoring. She had fallen back asleep, and on Haley's bed no less!

Despite all the rage and anger Haley had at her sister, she couldn't help but notice how peaceful she looked in her sleep. It was hard to reconcile this image of her sister with the complete bitch she's known over the years.

She looked away from Taylor resting and finally responded to Brooke with a little nod. "I think I should get ready first. No need to worry him first thing in the morning right?" She walked off to her bathroom to apply some makeup in hopes of covering the bruise. Brooke followed her, her eyes naturally drifting down to Haley's ass. Fuck it was perfect. What she wouldn't have given to be able to squeeze it. She had to tear her eyes away. She couldn't give in. She moved here for a reason and she had to remember that.

"So Brooke, tell me about yourself since I can't seem to remember you. Sorry about that by the way." Haley frowned at her reflection, made at herself for not being able to remember such a sweet and funny person.

Brooke noticed the frown and misread it. "Don't frown at yourself. You look amazing. And well, there's not much to me. I love shopping. I can throw a helluva party. I can drink with the best of them. School isn't really my scene, but I suffer through it. I'm just an average teenage girl." She smiled at Haley's reflection, but inside she hated that she had to recite that stupid script that had been drilled into her head over and over again. She didn't want to lie to Haley, but it was necessary. She had to do this, and she wasn't going to let herself or anyone down because she wanted a clear conscience. She had lost that awhile ago.

Haley laughed again. She hadn't even known this girl for an hour and already she was feeling so comfortable around her. She had to have been wrong. Brooke wasn't dangerous. She was so sweet, and she made Haley feel so at ease. She liked that. She liked that she didn't have to hide herself from Brooke. She had totally been wrong about her. "You seem far from the average girl Brooke." Haley finished applying her makeup and looked at herself in the mirror again. She felt like she looked decent enough to go to Lucas's house. Then she noticed the way Brooke was staring at her and was surprised to see how intensely she was looking at her. It was a little unnerving, but flattering at the same time. Maybe she looked better than decent. If Brooke's look was anything to go by, she must look pretty fucking sexy. Her self confidence was boosted a little, and she decided to be a little risqué. Luke would love to hear about this later.

She started putting on some lipstick, and did it as sensually as she could, making sure she bent over so Brooke could look down her shirt from the reflection. She started smacking her lips and fixing her breasts, while subtlety looking at Brooke's reactions.

Brooke bit down hard on her lip as she watched Haley. She could feel herself starting to get wet and it took all her self control not to moan out loud and grab Haley and take her right then and there on the bathroom counter. She instead said "Luke must be pretty special for you to get all prettied up like this huh?"

Haley's heart started racing again at the mention of his name and was instantly brought back to her senses. What was she doing? Was she just teasing Brooke? And was she just denied? Haley was confused to say the least. It took her a few moments to remember Brooke had just said something. "Oh, you know. He's just my best friend. I want to look nice for him. Is that such a crime?" Haley stuck her tongue out at Brooke as she walked out of the bathroom. All Brooke could think of was how badly she wanted to ride that tongue of her's. Haley was really getting her going. She had to bring herself back under control. She pinched the back of her leg hard, bringing her thoughts back to normalcy. "Mhmm suuuuure Haley. I'm a girl too you know, and I've never paid so much attention to detail unless I really liked the guy."

Haley started blushing hard. Was she really that obvious about it? She hoped not. She really hoped Luke couldn't tell and just didn't do anything because he didn't feel the same. She captured all the doubts and bad thoughts and tucked them away. Now was not the time for this. She had to focus. She really did want to look good for Luke, and why not ask for Brooke's help? She wanted to always look her best around him, and a second opinion never hurt.

"Okay, so maybe I have a tiny bit of feelings for him. So, do I look good enough to be seen in public?" She posed the question with a light tone, but Brooke saw right through it.

"Haley you look beautiful. Stop worrying and let's go. I want to meet the guy who's got you wrapped around his pinky." Brooke laughed at her own comment and opened the door, and waited for Haley to exit first.

Haley was positively beaming at Brooke. "Thanks Brooke. That really means a lot."

Brooke started blushing. She got those butterflies again. What the hell was going on? She never felt such a strong pull towards someone before. What on earth was Haley doing to her?

"Anytime. That's what best friends are for right?" Brooke grinned at Haley, and Haley noticed Brooke had a perfect smile. She liked that. She liked Brooke. There was no doubt about that. She was definitely glad they met. "Well I certainly am a lucky girl huh?"

Haley knew in her heart that this was the beginning of a very long and wonderful friendship. Brooke felt that she was in for one hell of an adventure with this girl. But as Brooke watched Haley leave and took another peek at that amazingly perfect ass, she knew that she wouldn't mind any adventure so long as she was next to Haley and Haley was next to her.
