It had been two weeks since Brooke and Lucas gave their relationship another chance, and so far it was great. Brooke and Lucas loved spending time together. Rachel got to tease Brooke the mornings after she would hear her friend and Lucas' antics the night before. And Nathan received 50 dollars off Haley when he bet her that they would get back together straight after the date.
Lucas was staying over at Brooke's again, and started to watch TV when the feisty redhead came into the house. "Oh hey Lucas, you come here for sex already?" Rachel sat down next to Lucas and kinked her eyebrow playfully.
"No Rachel, actually I'm taking Brooke out tonight."
"Ooh where?"
"We are just going to the beach, nothing too special."
"Okay, when will you be back?"
"I don't know Rach, why?"
"Just wanted to know, that's all." But Rachel didn't just want to know. She was planning something tonight. Not for the new couple, but for herself and someone else. She hoped that Brooke and Lucas would be out a while, so she could invite them over.
"I guess we'll be out for a while, we might go back to my place." Lucas looked to a beaming Rachel. Rachel nodded and silently glee with happiness as she could now definitely invite the person over. She didn't like being alone.
Brooke came down the stairs wearing denim shorts and a vest top. It was a warm sunny night, so she didn't want to wear anything too warm, besides if she and Lucas were going to the beach, she was sure they weren't going to need their clothes anytime soon. "Are you ready to go now Broody?" Lucas got up from the sofa and walked up to Brooke. Her pulled her into a deep passionate kiss, wanting to show her what was in store for tonight. "I'm always ready Pretty Girl." They walked out of Brooke's house hand in hand and said goodbye to Rachel.
Rachel nodded and watched the pair leave, eagerly waiting until she saw Lucas' car drive down the road. She jumped out of her seat and raced to the phone, quickly dialling the numbers, and said as soon as the person picked up, "Yeah, they're gone now, so you can come over. Yeah, yeah, but just to be sure if you don't come over, I'd like you to know that you be missing out on a lot. Okay? Great, see you soon!" Rachel hung up the phone and waited patiently for this person to come over.

Brooke and Lucas were walking along the beach, talking, laughing, kissing, you get the picture. It was just how Brooke wanted it from the beginning; calm, loving, exciting, and above all, no Peyton in the mix whatsoever. Lucas looked down to his beautiful girlfriend. She looked amazing, and he couldn't believe that she gave him a third chance; he wasn't going to screw it up this time. "What are you thinking about Luke?"
Lucas wrapped his arms around Brooke's waist and pulled her close. "I'm just thinking about how amazing my girlfriend is." Lucas leaned towards Brooke and brushed his lips against hers. He kissed her lovingly and placed her stray hairs behind her ears. He pulled away from her when he said, "I could live off of this."
Brooke giggled at the cheesy comment her boyfriend had just said to her and pushed him playfully. "That's what all the guys say to me." Lucas chuckled as he replied, "Oh? But do any of those guys look as good as me?" Brooke shook her head and kissed Lucas again, this time more intensely. They both moaned in content as the kiss deepened, and Lucas lifted up Brooke, and Brooke wrapped her legs around his waist. Lucas pulled back as he whispered in her ear, "Pretty girl, if you carry on like that, I might want us to have sex on the beach." Brooke smiled as she whispered in reply, "Well, it's late right? So, no one will see." Lucas looked at his gorgeous girlfriend and smiled, "I love how you think Pretty girl."

Rachel heard the doorbell ring and ran down the stairs excitedly. She quickly opened the door, to reveal a tall, raven haired, very Nathan looking man. He turned his head to meet the devilish redhead and smiled. It was Nathan, Nathan indeed. "Hey Rachel, so are you going to let me in or what?"
"Sure come in." She grabbed hold of his muscular arm and dragged him inside and shut the door quickly. They both sat on the couch, smiling and talking. Nathan started to talk about his life as a professional basketball player, and Rachel listened intently, and then started to talk about how happy she was that Brooke had given her a job as a clothes model. But after a while the conversation stopped, and silence was overtaking.
Rachel looked at Nathan and was worried. He was looking sad and disconnected. Rachel knew why, so she decided to call him out on it. "You miss Haley don't you?"
Nathan looked at Rachel and nodded his head slowly, "yeah I miss her, but I realised something. I don't love her anymore."
Rachel looked confused. When they were in High School, he and Haley looked like the couple that would actually break the stereotypes that were put on teen marriages. They were the perfect couple, but something, somewhere made them drift apart which resulted in a broken marriage. "I don't understand Nathan. You and Haley always seemed to be happy together."
Nathan nodded and smiled as he remembered all the happy times that he had shared with his ex-wife, but the fact was, was that it was memories, not reality. He didn't want to live in the past; he wanted to focus on the present. He wanted to find his other half. He used to believe that Haley was his other half, but he was proven wrong. "Yeah Rachel, we were happy, but after graduation, we both realised that were wanted too different things and that our relationship wouldn't work if we went to chase them."
Rachel placed her arm around Nathan's shoulder. Although they never really spoke in High School but she knew that he needed comfort. He was always so strong and hidden behind his 'Nathan' façade, but Rachel knew that deep down, he was a nice guy, and he was in love with Haley, bit now he was sad and lonely. She knew that, because Rachel had always felt that she and Nathan were exactly the same, just in different genders. "You'll be okay Nathan, even if you don't have a Haley, you'll be fine."
"I know, thank you Rachel for just talking. I've never really talked to anyone for so long."
Rachel laughed, "Well I'm glad I could be of service. Now, the real reason I wanted you to come over was because I wanted to get you and Haley back together, but now that I know everything, do you just want to order take-out and watch a movie or something?"
Nathan laughed at Rachel's ambitiousness, "Yeah sure, take-out and a movie sound great, just no chick-flicks okay?" Rachel laughed and nodded as she got out the leaflet for pizza and got out a DVD and placed it in the DVD player.

Brooke and Lucas were lying together, now clothed, on the sand looking at the night sky above them. It was so romantic and loving that Brooke couldn't stop smiling. This was the greatest she had ever felt about herself and about life for a long time, and Lucas felt exactly the same. He knew that he wouldn't feel complete without his Pretty Girl with him every step of the way, and he couldn't be happier. They were so in love, but I guess they never left that love behind, even if they were broken up, or that they dated other people.
"I love you Pretty Girl, and I'll never stop saying it." He turned to face her and kissed her forehead. He couldn't believe that he could love someone so much, but he did. He loved Brooke Davis more than anything in the world, and she loved him just the same.
"I love you too Lucas Scott and I will never stop loving you saying it to me." She kinked her eyebrow as Lucas chuckled. She nested her head in his chest and sighed happily. Lucas stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head. It was beautiful, magical. It was just how they both wanted it to be.
"Lucas?" Lucas turned his head down to Brooke who was looking at him in wonderment and mischievous. "Yeah pretty girl?" He asked her and smiled when she smiled showing her cute dimples on either side of her cheeks. "I just wanted you to know that I trust you okay, it's not like High School no more." Lucas smiled again and kissed Brooke passionately, she left his tongue enter her mouth and both moaned in pleasure. Lucas rolled on top of Brooke and pulled away to whisper, "I know you do baby, and I'm never going to hurt you like that again." He began to kiss her again, and she kissed him back. They were completely in love with each other, and that's how they wanted it to be forever.
