Chapter 11

Things had returned to a somewhat normal state in the Scott household. All the houseguests had gone home and school had started up again. To Brooke's horror and utter disbelief Haley and Nathan had become an item. They had even gone back to LA together. Brooke still wasn't sure what was going on in Haley's head and hoped to have a talk with the girl before she did something stupid.

Brooke and Lucas both acted like nothing had happened at the club on New Years. Neither spoke a word to the other about it. The first days after it had happened they had avoided each other, but now they were almost like they were before. Brooke had broken up with her boyfriend after that incident though. It was an amicable split, both felt that it was for the best.

It was Friday around lunchtime and Brooke sat in the kitchen with the housekeeper Nancy and Francis. The women were making lunch and discussing the next week's events. Nancy came every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and cleaned up the house and did any laundry or dishes that needed to be done. Brooke was especially glad she came because she could not clean worth anything. Lucas was currently on a road trip and wouldn't be home until the next Wednesday. Brooke was jealous because he got to stop in LA and see Nathan and Haley.

"So Lucas comes back on Wednesday. I think he said something about a big business meeting the next day and he wants his blue Gucci suit cleaned."

"Yes, he told me that." Their conversation was interrupted though when they heard the front door open and a woman's voice call out.

"Hello, Luke? Is anyone home?" Brooke looked at Nancy who raised her eyebrows. Brooke reached for the phone and picked up Francis when they saw a tall blonde woman walk in. "Who are you?"

"I'm Brooke. Who are you?"

"I'm Lisa, Lucas' wife."
