Author's Notes: Okay, this takes place a week after their first date. I wanted to clear that up with everyone first. Thank you for the reviews. Keep them coming! I love them. To "l-a-c-18": You definitely are a good guesser in what will come in my story. That's all I'm saying.
Nathan stirred in his sleep, feeling someone kissing his bare chest. He moaned and he slowly woke up and looked down to see his girlfriend at work on his body.
Brooke felt his eyes on her and looked up at him. "Good morning, boyfriend," she replied in a sweet voice.
"Good morning, gorgeous. What ya doing?" Nathan asked.
"Playing. I woke up before you today, and I was bored," Brooke explained. She went back to work on kissing her way down Nathan' body.
"Oh, God. Brooke, I want you so badly," Nathan told her.
"I know, baby, but you know the rules. No sex until your divorce goes through. Just sit back and enjoy," she told him.
An hour later, the two emerged from Nathan's bedroom to get some breakfast. Brooke was wearing one of Nathan's shirts and he was clad in only boxers. They playfully tickled each other while they ate their small meal of cereal. As they were about to take their games back into the bedroom, someone knocked on the door. They both groaned in frustration.
Nathan walked to the door and opened it without asking who it was. He was surprised at who he did find.
"Haley?!" he said, surprised.
"Hi, Nathan. How've you been?" she asked, not noticing that he wasn't alone.
"I'm good. What are you doing back here?"
"Well, my parents called me. They told me that you had dropped all of my stuff off at my house. They also said someone delivered divorce papers there for me."
"Yeah, that's right. They were delivered a few days ago. If you came to sign them... you're at the wrong house. I don't have an extra copy. They said I wouldn't get one until you signed," Nathan explained.
"I'm not here to sign them. When my mom told me that you had filed for divorce, I got scared. I got so scared that I would lose you forever. I don't want that, Nate. I don't want to not be with you. I know that I made a mistake by running off with Chris. I was so confused. He swept into town and offered to give me the dream I've had since I was a little girl. I didn't know how to respond," Haley pleaded her case.
"Look, Hales, you screwed this up. I didn't do anything wrong... for once. It's not going to be fixed, though. I'm filing for divorce, and I want the papers signed. I want them signed soon. I'm moving on with my life. You left me for another guy, so you really have no say in my decisions anymore," Nathan said, walking back to stand beside Brooke. He put his arm around her waist.
Haley's jaw dropped when she saw them together. Brooke was standing there in nothing but Nathan's shirt. It was obvious that she had spent the night with her husband.
"Brooke? Oh my God. How could you, Brooke?! I thought we were friends!" Haley yelled.
"She didn't do anything wrong! How could you, Haley? We were married! And you cheated on me and ran off with some other guy. Don't you dare judge Brooke, because she has been nothing but good to me since you left. You need to look in a mirror and yell your nasty comments to yourself. I'm not going to stand here and have you insult my girlfriend in my house," Nathan warned her.
"Your girlfriend? Are you kidding me? I can see how she's been there for you, Nathan. One girl leaves your bed, so you run and find another one. You could've done better than Brooke Davis, though. It's not exactly hard to get her to bed," Haley started yelling back.
"That's enough!" Nathan yelled at his soon-to-be-ex wife. "You need to leave. Now. I don't want you here, Haley."
With that, Haley turned and walked outside. Nathan walked over and shut the door. He turned back to Brooke and saw tear streaks down her face.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Nathan asked as he walked over to her and pulled her into his arms.
"Nothing," Brooke shrugged. "It's just... Did you see the way she looked at me? No one has ever looked at me like that. No one has ever hated me that much. I know what people say about me, and I honestly don't give a damn. But it hurts coming from someone who I used to be good friends with."
"I know, baby. But she's definitely changed. She's not the same person that I married or that you were friends with. Don't worry. This will all be over soon. I'll have my divorce, and we can be together," Nathan told her as he stroked her back.
"Nathan, we're already pretty much together," Brooke said with a chuckle.
"Yeah, but I know that you'll feel a lot better once the papers go through, Brooke. We both will."
