When Haley walked back into the café Brooke was holding Keith while Lucas tickled him and Peyton was talking to Karen, who had joined the table now that it was slow. They all stopped and looked at her.
"What," she asked all of them.
"What just happened," Lucas asked.
She wasn't really sure so she just said, "nothing," shrugging her shoulders.
"Ok, Haley James if you don't want to talk about it right now that's fine but you are so giving me the girl talk later," Brooke told her.
Lucas gave Brooke a dirty look, "why should she tell you. You were with her last night and she hasn't told me about whatever that was yet. I get first dibs on this," he said. Brooke just stuck her tongue out at him.
"Ok, I'd love to stay and listen to you two argue over Haley's attention," Peyton said laughing, "but I have to meet my dad he has to show me something." Lucas kind of snickered. Everyone gave him a look.
"Sorry, I don't know why I did that," he said.
Karen was glaring at him almost in an angry way but no one noticed. "I have somewhere I need to be too," she said, "Lucas you can still watch the place right? Kaitlyn too? She's out back. She just went down for her nap."
"Yeah, mom sure," he answered and she hurried out.
"Ok, well like I said, I have to go," Peyton said rising to leave. Haley hugged her then Lucas did too, "bye," she said as she left.
"See you later," the three of them said. Followed by, "bye-bye," from Keith.
"Well," Haley said, "Keith probably needs a nap too. And I need some alone time, as much as I love the two of you." She stood and took Keith from Brooke.
"Bye sweetie," Brooke said to Keith.
He put his hand over his mouth and then threw it out in front of himself with a, "muah," sound.
"Awe," Brooke smiled from ear to ear and giggled so did Lucas and Haley.
"Bye Book, bye Wouk," Keith said.
"What no blowing kisses for Uncle Luke? You little flirt," Lucas said. Keith blew him a kiss. They all laughed.
"Bye guys," Haley said then looked at Brooke, "oh, you can fill him in and then maybe later I'll tell you both about today," she said as she walked out.
Brooke had just finished telling Lucas what had happened last night. They were finishing cleaning up after breakfast there were about two customers in the café.
"I knew it," Lucas said. "I even called her on it earlier."
"You did not," Brooke said sounding shocked and slapping him on the chest. He just laughed.
"What do you think happened earlier," Lucas asked her.
"I don't know," she paused, "maybe they both finally got over their issues and jumped each others bones right there in the street," she continued with excitement.
Lucas laughed, "oh, I've missed you, Prettygirl." Brooke thought for a second that he had said that with a little too much feeling but then thought against it because they had happened so long ago, a different lifetime ago. Maybe things would always be weird like that between them after all they were each others first loves.
"I missed you too," she said tilting her head and giving that infamous Brooke Davis smile. At that moment her cell phone rang. It was a little early for Tim to be calling it was only 11:30am and he usually liked to sleep until noon. That was probably his biggest fault. She looked up from the caller ID. "I should take this," she said to Lucas and went outside to answer.
"Hey Timtime," she said adoringly as she answered the phone, "I miss you."
"I miss you too babe," he said back. "So how's everything in Tree Hill? I know you've only been there a few hours but…"
"Yeah well I forgot how eventful a few hours could be in Tree Hill," she answered.
"Why what happened," Tim asked.
"Well Tutorgirl picked me and Peyton up from the airport," she said.
"Right," he said, "you called her in my car remember?"
"Oh, right, forgot," she continued, "so anyway we were supposed to have dinner at the café and we walked in and there was Nathan. And of course Haley hasn't seen him since Keith was born and she froze and when he looked at her she took off and ran."
"Really," Tim said surprised.
"Yeah it took us two hours, I finally found her and we talked."
"What did she say," he asked.
"I'm sorry babe I'd tell you I would but I don't know if Nathan knows and I promised Haley I would keep my big mouth shut. I know you talk to Nate still so I don't want you to have to worry about slipping up with him," she said.
"Ok," he said sounding a little disappointed. "So Nathan's there? What happened to Europe?"
"Oh, right, he broke his ankle," Brooke answered.
"What, wow! Oh shoot, Brooke I gotta go," he said, "I'll call you later, love you."
He had hung up, "love you too," she said to the dead phone. She went back into the café.
