Finding Herself
Chapter Eleven
Confrontations
As Nathan held Brooke in his arms he heard her starting to cry, "What's wrong baby?" he asked lifting up her chin so he could look her in the eyes.
"I care about you so much Nathan," Brooke said still weeping, "You're the most important thing ever to me, and I want to be with you and I don't want to have to share you."
Nathan kissed her softly on the lips, "I will never hurt you like I did the other night. When I told you that I loved you I meant it." Brooke smiled and Nathan gave her another kiss, "Hey, remember when we went swimming here that one night?" he asked smiling.
Brooke laughed, "Yeah, it was freezing," she said wiping her eyes.
Nathan nodded his head and laughed, "And then we came back to my house..."
Brooke raised one eyebrow, "Getting a little kinky Nathan?"
"Well, we both now what happened when we got back to my house," he said smiling and holding on tighter to Brooke.
"I love you so much," Brooke said into Nathan's sweatshirt.
Nathan kissed Brooke on the cheek, "I love you too beautiful." Just then Nathan's cell phone beeped to notify him that he had a text message, he looked at the Caller I.D. and it said "DAD", "This stupid bastard knows just when to ruin a good moment," Nathan said looking at the message.
"Who is it?" Brooke asked looking towards the phone and still holding onto Nathan.
"My dad," Nathan said rolling his eyes, "I have to go running with him today and he wants me home now. I'm sorry," he said showing Brooke the text message.
Brooke ran her fingers through Nathan's hair, "It's okay, I don't want to get you in trouble or anything," she said smiling.
"Do you want me to walk you home?" Nathan asked sincerely.
Brooke gave him a kiss, "No, I'm going to stay up here a little longer, but thanks."
"No problem," he said. Nathan then kissed Brooke again this time the kiss was filled with passion and lingered on for a couple seconds longer. When the kiss broke Nathan winked at Brooke and jogged back towards the direction of his house.
Brooke stayed down at the lake a couple minutes longer, but then decided to leave because she was freezing. She decided to walk home and then drive to Karen's Café to get some coffee. When she got to her house she saw Haley standing at her doorway, "What do you want?" Brooke asked as she got closer to her house.
"Look, I want to apologize," Haley said walking over to where Brooke was standing, "I screwed up really bad, and when I went to talk to Peyton today she gave me kind of a reality check."
"It's about time someone did that," Brooke said sarcastically.
"I'm sorry and what I did was stupid. I was upset with Tim and tricked Nathan into kissing me," Haley said rocking back and forth on her heels.
Brooke thought about this, "Okay since I'm new here and we didn't start off on the right foot I'll forgive you, but let me just tell you this if you touch my boyfriend ever again I will make sure that you're life a living hell," she threatened.
Haley was taken aback by this, but new that she deserved the threat, "I understand, I'm sorry," she said reaching her hands out for a hug.
Brooke looked at her, "Please, you've got to get my trust in order for me to start acting all best friends with you."
Haley sighed, "Do you want to go out to breakfast or something?"
"Sure."
"Okay, good we can talk there. Do you want me to take you?" Haley asked making her way to her car.
"No I'll drive myself. In case I get pissed at you and want to leave," Brooke said and with that she gave a smile and got into her car.
"Okay that works," Haley said softly. At the café the girls just kind of sat there and drank their coffee and talked about school and cheerleading, it wasn't much of a bonding experience for Brooke, but she went along with it anyways. They heard the bell on the door ring and saw Peyton walk in she looked over at the two sitting there and made her way towards their table.
"Um, hey?" she said not knowing what the girls were doing together.
"We talked," Brooke said rolling her eyes and turning away from Haley so she couldn't see.
"Yeah, I apologized because I was so out of line," Haley said taking a bite of her bagel.
Peyton nodded, "I'm glad you guys talked. Now we can all be friends like we planned." The girls talked for hours and Brooke was glad that Peyton was there because she could never have heart to heart talks with Haley, it just wasn't happening. It started to get dark and Brooke remembered that Nathan would probably be done with his training soon. The three girls went outside and were amazed at how cold it was, "I'm going to Lucas's I'll talk to you guys later," Peyton said getting into her car and immediately turning up the heat.
Haley smiled at Brooke, "I'm glad we talked," she said genuinely.
"Yeah, me too," Brooke said holding her coat tighter around her body.
"See you later," Haley said getting into her car.
"Yeah," Brooke said running to her car and getting in and turning the heat up as high as it goes, "God, it's freezing," she said as her teeth chattered. When she got back home she ran into her house and changed her clothes. She put on a pair of her old, but still tight fitting hip hugger jeans. A shirt from when she played softball that had "Davis" on the back, and one of Nathan's hoodies that was big and warm and still smelled like him. Brooke went downstairs in the living room and turned on the fire as she was sitting next to it she heard the doorbell ring, when she opened it she saw Nathan standing there in basketball shorts and a sleeveless blue shirt that matched, "Oh my god Nathan get inside you must be freezing," Brooke said letting him in and shutting the door.
Nathan sat down on the couch by the fire and blew hot air into his hands, "That's what my dad calls practicing. Running in freezing temperatures, he says its good conditioning."
Brooke got a blanket from the closet and wrapped it around Nathan, "Awe baby," she said taking his shoes off for him, "You're whole body is freezing, you are not going back home tonight you're staying here with me."
Nathan smiled, "No problem," he said laughing. He wrapped the blanket tighter around him, "Come here," he said as he got Brooke on his lap, "Okay now I'm warmer, cause I've got a hot girl on my lap."
Brooke kissed his cheek hoping to warm him up a bit, "I feel so bad."
"Wow, you're lips are warm," he said touching her face with his hand, "And don't worry about me, when my dad goes away for another business trip I don't even have to run in the cold."
"Let's hope he leaves soon," Brooke said kissing Nathan's hands.
"I should show up to you're house more often when I'm freezing and tired," Nathan said referring to all the attention Brooke was giving him.
"I think you should just live here with me because I can't imagine what you're dad puts you through," Brooke said as Nathan and her walked up to her bed room.
Nathan wrapped his arms around Brooke, his body wasn't as cold, "Well as long as I have you then I'm fine because I know I can just run to your house and you'll be here for me."
Brooke smiled, "Awe, I knew there was a reason why I like you," she said joking.
Nathan kissed Brooke on the lips and the kiss got more intense, "You like me because I'm funny and hot as hell," he said laughing.
Brooke laughed as she took off her shirt and then stopped herself, "Do you want to do this tonight? I mean I know you're tired."
Nathan looked at her in disbelief, "Would I ever pass up the chance to be with you?"
"No," Brooke said smiling.
Nathan kissed her again letting her tongue go all through his mouth he broke the kiss, "I'm never too tired for you," he said winking at her.
Brooke winked, "Good," she said taking off Nathan's shirt and kissing his neck, "Because I've been wanting to do this ever since the one night at the lake," she said laughing, "Wow I sounded really horny."
Nathan laughed, "But that's a good thing," he said as they fell on to Brooke's bed together.
Peyton got to Lucas's and saw that he was sleeping, she got into his bed with him and started kissing his chest, "Wake up sexy," she said in a seductive voice.
Lucas raised on eyebrow but still had his eyes shut, "Hey baby," he said opening his eyes. He started kissing Peyton on the cheek and then made his way down to her neck. Peyton took of her shirt and looked under the covers.
"Cute boxers," she said laughing referring to Lucas's Scooby Doo Valentine boxers.
"What?" Lucas said innocently, "Scooby Doo is sexy."
"True, but Scooby has to come off this instant," Peyton stated.
Lucas kissed his girlfriend, "Is that a command?"
Peyton stuck out her tongue, "Yes," she said giggling.
"Yes ma'am," he said kissing Peyton.
