Chapter 2-

Brooke was nervous as she approached Jake's house. She wasn't really sure how he felt about her. She knew back in the old days he wouldn't give her the time of day, he was so much better than her, but she had changed. She wasn't sleeping around, she was looking for a commitment. And, who was more commited than Jake; he had a daughter he was very commited to.

Still not really knowing what she was going to say, she rung the doorbell. Jake came to the door with Jenny in his arms. He wasn't as cute as Lucas, but he really made up for it in other places.

"Brooke, hey what's up? Come in I was just getting ready to put Jenny down for her nap." Jake said.

"Oh, alright." She replied. What was she going to do inside?

"Hold on, I'll be right back. Make yourself at home." Jake told her as he walked into Jenny's room to put her down. Brooke couldn't believe what a gentleman he was; Lucas never treated her like this.

"So, what's up?" Jake asked as he walked back into the room.

"Well, I know it is kinda wierd for me to ask this, but, ya know we've hung out a lot recently, and I've had a lot of fun. I really wanted to hang out again, but, like, just you and me." She said as she nervously awaited a reply.

"So, like a date?"

"Well, yeah if you wanted to. I mean if you don't want to that's o.k. Hell, you probably could care less about me. Yeah, I'm just gonna go."

"Brooke, inhale. I like you and I would absolutly love to go on a date with you, if, and this a big if, I can find a babysitter for Jenny."

"Oh, well I'll ask Peyton or Haley if they can watch her, or something."

"No that's o.k. My parents will propbably be available. I'll figure it out. So, tonight at Karen's. Is that o.k.?"

"Yeah, that's awesome. I'll meet you there at 7:00?"

"O.k., see you there."

"K, bye!" Brooke got up and left Jake's house. Could that have gone any better? Except maybe for her spaz moment, which made her feel even better when he saved her from it. She couldn't wait to tell Peyton about everything, she knew she would be happy for her. Than Brooke remembered the mystery guy. She wondered how it was going with him and decided to call Peyton and see what was up.

Peyton was sitting in Karen's Cafe with Andy, who just might have been the coolest guy she had ever met. They had so many things to talk about, even more than her and Lucas. When she walked in Karen saw her and Andy and winked at Peyton. She took it as Karen telling her that it was o.k. for her to move on. All of a sudden her phone started to ring.

"Sorry Andy, let me get this." She dug her phone out of her pocket and flipped it open. "Hello?"

"Peyt, hey what's up? Are you with that guy? You will never believe what happened at Jake's" Brooke told her. Peyton was so happy to hear her friend happy.

"Yeah, what happened?" She asked.

"Well, I got there and he was so nice. Like, he invited me in and made sure I was comfortable, and it was so sweet. Then, I said I wanted to hang out with, ya know just me and him and he was like 'So a date?' Well, I just spazed out and said he probably didn't want to and that I was going to leave. Well, he was like no I want to go out with you. I swear I almost started crying."

"It sounds like it went well, I'm glad to hear you happy."

"Yeah, so how is it going with you, do you like him?"

"Yeah, it's good, but Brooke I gotta go, I'll call ya later."

"He's right there isn't he?"

"Yes, bye Brooke!"

"Bye!" Peyton hung up her phone and looked at Andy who had started sketching again. This time it was a picture of her. She noticed in the corner it said something, and leaning for forward she read "Wow."
