Brooke sat at the ledge on her window, gazing out into the sky. The stars were twinkling bright and a full moon graced the twilight sky. She sat there mulling over the events of the past couple of days wondering what she was going to do. Just when she had finally thought she was over him, he had to go and pull a stunt like the night before. How could he do this to her? Brooke ran a frustrated hand through her hair as she took a deep breath.

"Hey, what ya looking at queenie?" Felix asked as he walked towards her.

Brooke watched as he sat next to her and placed a kiss on her forehead. "I told you never to call me that." She said as she punched him in the arm. "But to answer your question, I was just looking at the stars. It's a beautiful night." She turned and pointed toward the sky.

"Not as beautiful as the girl sitting next to me." Felix leaned over and gathered her in his arms. He loved the feel of her there. It was almost as if she was born to be in his arms. He always thought of them as two puzzle pieces that perfectly fit one another. "What's going on Brooke? You've been really distracted these last couple of days."

Brooke leaned her head back against his shoulder and closed her eyes. She didn't know what to tell him, hell, she didn't know what to tell herself at this point. "Nothing. At least not yet. I've just got a couple of things on my mind, you needn't worry yourself over it." It was the only answer she could give him that wasn't a lie. And lying was something she didn't want to have to do with him.

Felix reached his hand up to brush her hair behind her ear so he could lean his cheek alongside hers. "Brooke, you know I can't make you tell me whatever it is that's going through your head right now, but what I can tell you is that I'm here for you."

"I know! I know!" She hugged his arm closer around her body as she took in his warmth. They sat there for the next couple of minutes, just staring out into the night. Brooke couldn't believe how far her and Felix had come since there first encounter, and she couldn't help but laugh at the memory of finding him swimming naked in her pool.

"Care to share the joke?" He asked her with a slightly amused tone.

"I was just thinking of the first time we met. Do you remember that?" She asked as she turned her body to the side so that she could see his expression. She made sure she didn't move too much, she still wanted to be in his arms.

"Ah, you mean when I swam naked in your pool? Hey, what can I say, I know how to make a first impression." A tender smile appeared on his face as he too recalled that first encounter. He remembered, even though she had just woken up, thinking how beautiful she was.

"An impression, yes, but a good one? I think not." She told him smugly.

"Wait, what? You mean you didn't like what you saw?" He asked in mock surprise.

"Well, I liked what I saw from head to waist, but..." she glanced down at a spot below his waist and lifted an eyebrow up suggestively "below that, you sure didn't have much to brag about." She finished, trying to keep a straight face, and it was hard to do, especially when she saw the flush that was creeping up from his collar bone to his cheeks.

"Brooke!" He gasped indignantly. "The water was cold, it's not my fault." Upon hearing that, Brooke couldn't contain her laughter anymore, and burst out laughing uproariously. She loved teasing him because his reaction was always so comical. "Oh, I'll teach you to mess with me queenie." With that he proceeded to lifting her over his shoulder and started marching out the house.

"Felix! Felix! Put me down this instant." She demanded a bit out of breath. Her ribs were hurting so much from the laughing, and now from the shoulder blade that was jutting into her side. She turned to see where he was taking her and saw the pool come into sight. "You wouldn't dare!" Which just resulted in more laughter from him. "Okay, okay Felix. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Please!" She started begging.

"Now you're sorry? Well it's too late for you little girl, maybe next time you'll learn to think before opening your mouth." Felix said as they got closer to the pool. "Don't forget to take a deep breath." He warned her before lifting her off his shoulder. "Any last requests?" He turned his head to look at her, one brow raised cockily.

Since begging didn't work, threatening physical violence was the next best thing to Brooke. "If you dare to throw me in that freezing water, you can forget ever..." she didn't get to finish her sentence. The next thing she knew she was plunging head first into the freezing water, and all she got was a mouthful of chlorine.

Felix stood on the side of the pool laughing his head off. The look on her face before she went under was classic. He wished he'd had a camera for it, it was definitely a Kodak moment. He was hunched over hugging his sides and didn't see the hand that snaked out of the pool to pull him in. Before he could stop it from laughing, he too was dumped into the cold water. That started the beginning of a water war that lasted a good half an hour.

An hour later found them back in Brooke's room drying off. Felix was in the bathroom changing out of his wet clothes and when he came out he found Brooke seated on her bed staring at her doll house.

"Tell me again why you bought this house back for me?" She asked him as he seated himself next to her, a towel draped over his shoulders.

"Because I was trying to buy your affections?"

"No, I'm being serious here. Tell me why. Please, I need to know." Brooke turned serious eyes his way. And he could tell this was important to her.

"I saw how much it meant to you that day, and with everything that was happening to you, I thought maybe I could give you something of yourself back." He told her truthfully.

"But how come you had Mouth give it to me, and let him take the credit for it?" Brooke gazed intently at him, she needed to know what he was feeling, what he felt.

"You and I weren't exactly on the best of terms. I mean, come on, we were "friends with benefits" and even then it wasn't about the friends, but the benefits that made you even look at me. And besides, you wouldn't have believed I bought it back for you anyway. You would've thought I had some type of ulterior motive or something. So I didn't see the point in telling you. I figured you would accept it back from a friend, and that's why I asked Mouth to stand in." Felix hated talking about this. He didn't like rehashing what kind of a relationship they had prior to what they had now. His past attitude wasn't something he was proud of.

Brooke laid a hand on the side of his face, and he turned it into her hand as he closed his eyes. She lightly caressed the hair at the side of his temple with her fingers. "I know I've told you this before, but thank you. That doll house meant a lot to me."

"I know!" He pulled her close to him and kissed her passionately. Breath mingled with breath as the kiss grew more and more heated, a deep groan rumbled low in his throat when he felt her mold her body against his. She laced her arms around his neck and wrapped her legs around his waist as he lifted her up to place her in the middle of the bed. He broke the kiss and hovered above her only to whisper "I would do anything to put a smile on your face, I hope you know that."

As he started to trail kisses along the side of her neck, Brooke closed her eyes as she enjoyed the sensations of tingles along the side of her body that his touch invoked. So lost were they in their love making that they didn't here the cell phone that rang in the distant.

A/N: Okay, just to get everybody up to date here. Lucas has broken up with Anna, because he realized he wanted Brooke. He has also admitted his feelings to her. Brooke is confused. She has a boyfriend, Felix, whom she cares about very much. Now she has to figure out what to do. Felix is in love with Brooke, although he hasn't told her yet. That's just a brief summary of what's going on in the tangled web.

A/N 2: Okay guys, now this is where you come in. I originally started this story out as a Brucas, and will continue to turn it into that, if you want me to. I'm really starting to like the story that's unfolding between Felix and Brooke. But I'll let you, my readers, be the judge of couples. Let me know who you want, because at this point, I could go for either one. Naley will be making an appearance in the next couple of chapters, so for all you Naley fans, hang tight. Thanks for all the reviews, it means the world to a writer, and as always, please let me know what you think.

PS: Also, I had a reviewer who didn't like the fact that I misspelled cliques in the first chapter, if you're reading this, I just wanted to say thanks for catching that. And I'm not mad that you were bugged by it, I would be too. As always, I'm looking for ways to improve my writing, so if you find something wrong, don't be afraid to tell me. Thanks again!

Enjoy!!!!!
