Brooke could feel Nathan's hot breath on her, and she knew that they were now only inches away. While her mind told her this was wrong, her body betrayed her. She just couldn't get herself to get off him. Her fingers raked through his hair absentmindedly, as Nathan's grip tightened slightly.

Their eyes still locked, Brooke felt like her heart was pounding out of her chest. Brooke took a light breath as she decided to close the gap between their lips. Brooke leaned in…

"Brooke!"

Startled, they both pulled away quickly, Brooke jumped out of Nathan's laps and Nathan helped her with a gentle push. They turned to watch Peyton striding toward them. Brooke and Nathan avoided each others eyes, blushing.

"I've been waiting for you for like half an hour! God Brooke, the least you could've done was told me when you're going to-…" Peyton glanced from one guilty blushing face to the other, "What were you doing here again, as I recall, you were sitting on his-…"

"No! I was just about to come meet you when I tripped," Brooke interrupted quickly, but when Peyton still didn't look convinced, Brooke added in true Brooke style, "And landed on this brawny guy, and you know how I'm a sucker for big muscle guys," Brooke winked slyly, causing Peyton to laugh.

"Yeah, we all know you're a sucker for em'." Peyton joked, looping arms with Brooke, "Hey Nate, you can stop blushing, you want me to tell Haley over there how excited you looked," Peyton teased.

"W-what are you talking about?" Nathan asked, choking slightly on his words.

Peyton rolled her eyes, "What's wrong with him, he didn't even sweat that much when he was actually caught cheating when we were together,"

Brooke shrugged, glaring at Nathan, "Let's go blondie, let him wait for his girlfriend in peace."

Nathan watched them walk away, arm in arm, and sighed. He hadn't seen Brooke in a month, and he'd thought he was over her, more then over her, he thought he could feel hatred toward her, but now it feels like the past month had never happened. His heart thumps as loudly and quickly as it did a month ago whenever she was near him.

Nathan clenched his fist in frustration, "Fuck," he cursed in anger at himself. Why did he always let her affect him like that, why couldn't he ever resist her? Why the hell did he always show her how much power she had over him?

He could still see her a few feet away, strutting around with Peyton like she owned the place. He hated the aura she always seemed to be giving out, the 'I know I'm hot,' thing that really got to him. He hated that he gave into her.

He felt a petit form wrap her arms around him from behind. He smiled sadly, as he turned around and pulled Haley up to his lips.

He had such a great girl in love with him, then why couldn't he get over her friend, who also happened to be his half brothers girlfriend.

Brooke smiled brightly at Peyton, walking around, only stopping to advise some people buying clothes on what colors would look nice on them and what not.

Brooke picked out a cute pink tank top, leaving Peyton to go into a change room. Brooke hung up the top, and sat on the bench. The hard uncomfortable bench sent Brooke back to the feeling of being in Nathan's lap. Brooke smile mournfully, how she wished Peyton had not come at that moment. Yet she was glad she had. What would have happened if she hadn't come? Would she have kissed Nathan? Would he have kissed her back?

Brooke shook her head sternly, she shouldn't think like that. She would not have cheated on her boyfriend again, she was fully committed to Lucas, and she had moved on from Nathan!

But even as she had these thoughts, she knew it was all lies. She knew she would have kissed him if Peyton had not interrupted, and she certainly hadn't moved on from Nathan.

What if Peyton had seen them a few seconds later and saw them kiss? What is Haley had come back and seen them?!

Brooke shuddered at the thought, just imagining the look on Haley's face if she had seen her with Nathan.

It's really nice; it makes you realize why you guys were together in the first place. Plus you get all the first dates and first kisses back.

Brooke thought back to Haley's glowing face, and the loving way she had looked over at Nathan. How excited Haley looked being with Nathan, as if she had all the happiness in the world just because she was with Nathan again.

Brooke looked down at her hands, remembering how only a few minutes earlier she had been raking her fingers through his hair affectionately. Brooke felt shivers, recalling the feel of Nathan's warm breath on her.

"Brooke, hurry up in there, it was just one top!" Brooke heard Peyton's annoyed voice from the other side of the door.

Brooke stood up, she couldn't keep doing this, she was with Lucas, and she was happy… period. No more thinking of Nathan. No more dreaming about Nathan, no more nothing.

Brooke opened the door, "Never mind, I don't like this top anymore,"

Peyton rolled her eyes, "Listen, apparently we're all invited to Nathan's house today,"

Brooke felt her heart do flip flops, "Uh, why, did he mention why? Did he say my name? Who's invited, and what's going on?" Brooke rambled.

Peyton gave her a weird look before continuing, "Well, it was actually Haley who text messaged me, wait…" Peyton mumbled, as she turned on her cell and turned the screen for Brooke to see.

Hey Peyton, listen, tonight around 6-ish, come over to Nathan's place. I already called Lucas, and I tried calling Brooke, but I think her cell's off, so if she's there with you, tell her to come! Okay, byeeee!

Brooke reread over the message, surprised to feel annoyed with Haley. So now she's aloud to invite people over to Nathan's place. Brooke thought bitterly.

"Didn't really say why, did she?" Peyton muttered, throwing her cell back into her purse.

Brooke nodded distractedly, "Why couldn't Nathan just call us himself?"

Peyton shook her head, "Whatever, they're lovebirds; they were like married once I think inviting people together is okay. Anyways, what's up your ass? What's going on with you and Nate?"

Brooke felt the heat rise up into her face again, "What are you talking about goldilocks?"

Peyton rolled her eyes, "Don't play innocent with me. I know you, and something's up,"

Brooke shook her head, "Dude, I don't think you should doubt my love for Lucas, c'mon, think about it, do you really think something's up with Nathan?" Brooke asked incredulously.

Peyton laughed, "Never mind, you and Nathan wouldn't work,"

Brooke frowned, "What makes you say that?" But Brooke realized her hurt tone, and quickly added hastily, "Like whom wouldn't Brooke work with?"

"Ha, Nathan and you are way too alike, you guys both fell for the good innocent ones."

Brooke faked a laugh, and let the topic go.

"Brooke! Hurry up!" Lucas yelled from the front door.

Brooke slipped into her heels, rolling her eyes. Even though it shouldn't matter, Brooke had to admit she took a little extra time prettying herself knowing she was going to Nathan's house.

Brooke felt slight jitters in her stomach; it had been so long since she's been in Nahtan's house. They have so many memories there, she use to spend so much of her time there at one time. Brooke smiled sadly, knowing she would give anything to go back to that time.

Lucas sighed, "Seriously Brooke, you take forever, and I'm hungry,"

"It's not like we're going to a restaurant or anything,"

"Yeah, but Haley promised my favorite chips," Lucas stated childlike. Brooke laughed, as she sidestepped him to get out. But before she could fully get out onto her porch, she felt Lucas grab her from behind.

"Lucas!" Brooke squealed as he smothered her face with kisses, "You're wrecking my makeup!" Brooke groaned playfully pushing Lucas away. Lucas pouted, following her to the car.

When they got there, they saw that Peyton's car was already there, as well as a few others.

"See, we're the last ones," Lucas mumbled, taking Brooke's hand and leading her inside. Brooke felt a little uncomfortable when they entered the house full of people, knowing that Nathan was there. It felt weird being like this with Lucas when Nathan was around. Brooke tried slowly slipping her hand out of his, but he only pulled her closer to him, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind, as they stepped past the other guests.

Brooke looked around nervously, and finally saw them. Nathan and Haley stood with a few other people that Brooke recognized from school. Haley saw them as well, and dragged Nathan towards them.

Brooke tried to keep her eyes on Haley only, but she could feel Nathan staring at her. She glanced at Nathan, and she was right, Nathan looked at her and Lucas in annoyance.

"Hey, this isn't some make out pit where you two can be all over each other; do you see anyone else doing that?" Nathan muttered, trying to make it into a joke, but Brooke could see right through him.

Brooke hid a smile, knowing he didn't like seeing her with another guy.

Lucas laughed, "Hey, we can't help it that we're in love,"

Nathan stifled a fake laugh, getting a stern look from Haley.

"I'll be right back guys," Haley said, heading toward some new arrivals.

"I'll get us some drinks," Lucas said excusing himself as well, leaving Brooke and Nathan there.

"Can you stop your whoring ways here at least? I know you don't like keeping your legs closed for that long, but try..." Nathan hissed bitterly.

Brooke glared at him, if that's how he was going to act, fine!

"Hey, I don't open my legs for everyone… just real men," Brooke stated dryly, causing Nathan to clench his jaw tightly.

"There was no coke there, so I'll just get it from the fridge," Lucas informed, making his way back to them from the drinks table.

"Forget that," Brooke stated, putting her arms around Lucas's neck and bringing him into a long passionate kiss.

Nathan felt jealousy rise up into his body with force, and wanted nothing more then to pull them apart and beat the crap out of Lucas for putting his lips on Brooke.

It didn't take the surprised Lucas long to get into the kiss, and start responding back vigorously. Brooke pushed her body closer to Lucas's and deepened the kiss, glancing slightly at Nathan, who seemed to be barely controlling himself.

Can you stop your whoring ways here at least? I know you don't like keeping legs closed for that long, but try...

Nathan's words rang in her ear, causing her to fill with anger toward him. Brooke moaned passionately into Lucas's mouth, rewarded with a low grumble from Nathan.

Nathan clenched his fist so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He couldn't stand the sight any longer, he had to do something. He couldn't let Lucas touch her like that!

Nathan looked around at the other people who had turned to look. The jocks had let out whistles of encouragement, which only helped to piss Nathan off even more.

Finally he couldn't take it anymore, and it took all of his endurance to pull them apart gently, "Lucas chill out man, you guys don't even know why you're here yet, so quit making a scene."

Lucas blushed, looking around the room at the staring bunch. Brooke smirked, satisfied at the jealousy Nathan's face was displaying.

She smiled smugly at the glaring Nathan.

Nathan excused himself to everyone and putt on some music for them to dance to as he stepped out onto his porch.

Nathan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He felt so much hatred for Brooke right now that he couldn't wait for what was going to happen later on today.

Nathan wanted to wash his eyes out, and take away the image from his mind forever. He hated them both so much, as much as he hated himself for giving a shit.

Nathan heard the door open behind him, and then a soft click.

"Hey,"

Nathan closed his eyes in anger, wishing he hadn't just heard the person he wanted to be around least right now.

"You looked pissed inside, what's wrong?" Brooke asked wryly.

"Shut the fuck up Brooke, and leave me the hell alone,"

Brooke laughed sarcastically, "Hey, I listened to you; I resisted opening my legs,"

Nathan shook his head angrily, "You're such a fucking whore, why the hell are you here?"

"Honestly, shut the hell up Nathan, I'm not taking this shit from you. Don't you remember a month ago, when you told me you didn't give a shit about me anymore and all that bullshit, so why does it piss you off when I kiss my boyfriend,"

Nathan turned to her angrily with so much force that for a second, Brooke was afraid he might actually hit her.

"Why the fuck should I care about who you want to suck face with. You could do whatever the fuck you want, just do me a favor and stay the hell away from me," Nathan yelled into her face, before turning and going back into the house.

Brooke smiled sadly, she got to him. Before, she would never be intimate with Lucas in front of Nathan; it was always her being the jealous one as he would be with Haley. But today, she won.

Nathan proved to her how much he still cared, and she liked that. Today wasn't so bad after all.

Brooke felt the excited feeling inside her after a long time, she felt kind of happy. His words didn't hurt her today, because she knew he was concealing his hurt being the words.

Brooke entered the house again, and found that everyone was gathered in the living room, and Nathan and Haley were standing on chairs laughing.

Haley tapped her spoon against the glass cup, "Attention guys, we got news,"

Lucas motioned Brooke over, and took her hand as they looked up at Haley and Nathan. Haley looked like she was on top of the world, and Nathan smiled down at her lovingly, causing Brooke to look away.

Every ones eyes were glued to them, as Nathan grabbed Haley's hand.

"The reason why everyone was invited here today was to tell you guys, that…"

Haley looked up at Nathan smiling; he pecked her on the lips and nodded encouragingly.

Of course to Brooke's annoyance, they got a few 'awwn's' in the crowd.

"We've decided to get married again," Haley stated grinning.

A/n O!! I know!! How will Brooke react? Will she let it happen? Will Nathan go on with it? I dunno… R&R to find out!
