Chapter 5: Something You Didn't Expect

"WHAT?" Nathan sputtered.

"Brooke was the girl."

Nathan started to laugh uncontrollably.

"And what the hell may I ask is so damn funny, " Lucas hissed. He didn't need anyones crap right now he just had to get his head on straight.

"You Lucas Scott and Brooke Davis were for more then 5 minutes not screaming at each other and ripping each others heads off. I'm amazed I must say." Nathan nodded his head. "Wait how could you not know it was her?"

"I don't know." Lucas was severely frustrated right now. His mind was in a billion different places. He stormed off leaving Nathan shacking his head trying to figure out what had just happened.

"Brooke speaking," she said as she answered her phone. Brooke was sitting in this cute little coffee shop on the corner just reading the paper and getting some coffee.

"Hey Brooke its Dane."

"Oh hey. Look I'm really sorry about Friday. It must have just ruined your night with me fighting with Lucas."

"No Brooke just being around you was enough."

'Aw' she thought as smiled a bit. Dane really was a nice guy she should give him a chance what was she afraid of and what was holding her back from it. "Your so sweet but you don't have to defend the way I was acting. With that said I would love to make it up to you. That is of course if you still want to."

"Yeah." He said quickly.

"Alright I'll call you later and give you the where and when."

"Alright sounds good. Bye Brooke."

"Bye." A smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she leaned back in her chair a bit. A dark figure caught the corner of her eye and she leaned back in her head to see around the corner to see who it was. It seemed that she leaned to far and her chair came falling to the ground with a crash. "OUCH!" Brooke rubbed the back of her head. She felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking up she smiled.

"That looked like it hurt. Didn't you mother ever tell you to keep all four legs of the chair on the floor," Nathan chuckled as he helped her up off the floor. "Actually don't answer that because I know the answer. You mother used to yell at you like crazy for tipping the chairs up on two legs." He smirked. "Brooke Penelope Davis that is no way for a young lady to act." He mimicked that best to his ability.

Brooke picked up the chair and sat down. Now she was laughing. Nathan always did the best impressions of her mother. "Very funny. I hate that you know that. I really do."

"Not as much as you hate the fact that I know that you Brooke Davis used to have a terrible habit of bitting you finger nails." He sat down in a chair across from her and then looked over at her fingers.They were done in a perfect manicure and you could tell that it was habit that she had stopped. "And it looks like its not something that you do anymore."

"Nathan Scott remember who your dealing with here. I can tear you down in a heart beat with all the stuff I have on you." Brooke smirked evilly and then laughed.

"You wouldn't dare."

"Oh I wouldn't would I would. Your right I wouldn't I'm just to nice you know."

"Ha ha yeah right."

"Any ways on a more serious note. I see that something is going on with you and Mallory." Brooke wiggled her eyebrows suggestively and smirked knowingly.

"Yeah maybe there is."

"Ah ha you like her don't you." Brooke smirked. "You want to kiss her, You want to date her," Brooke sang.

"Okay thats enough of that. So any ways what is up with you lately. Anyone new in your life." Nathan was trying his best to not act weird around Brooke with everything that Lucas had told him he had to play it cool because this whole thing could start world war 34 1/2 of the Brooke and Lucas story that was there messed up life.

"Not really I thought there was but theres no way. Well and I'm going on a date with Dane again. He is really nice I really like him."

"As long as your happy. Look I have to go. I'll catch you later. Tell Mallory I said hi."

"Oh I will."

Nathan had to get out of there before her burst and just blurted out to Brooke about what he knew. He couldn't keep things from her. It wasn't right."

Brooke skipped into her room with a happy smile on her face. She had a very good day of shopping and then of course her chat with Nathan was nice and plus no Lucas Scott in sight. Her dad had been pretty much perfect. Brooke tossed her bags on the bed and then looked around. Barbie was sitting on her bed with a very to pleasant smile on her face. It was creeping out Brooke but then she was saved by Mallory who came in.

"Nathan said hi."

"oh really."

"Nathan Scott?" Barbie questioned as she looked up at the girls. Mallory and Brooke looked at each other.

"Yeah Nathan Scott." Brooke said.

"Oh his brother Lucas is totally amazing."

Mallory looked at Brooke and then at Kelcey.

"What is that supposed to mean."

"Oh we hooked up on Friday. You haven't heard."

Brooke looked at Kelcey and then Mallory. "Nope I guess I haven't. Good for you." Looking at Mallory she rolled her eyes.

Mallory could tell even with the front Brooke was putting up she could see a hint of hurt in her eyes right now.

"So now like I was saying Nathan said hi. So now you need to tell me everything." Brooke said quickly to change the subject.

"Theres not much to tell yet."

"Well do you like him?"

"Um... maybe.. ahh. No, Yes, I don't know."

Brooke laughed. "Oh dear you have it bad."
