Chapter 8:

As soon as Nathan got in the shower, Lucas decided to dial the number that the beautiful brunette had given him the previous night.

After two rings someone sleepily answered, "Hello?"

"Hey Brooke, its Lucas from last night at Blink. I hope I didn't wake you up."

"Oh hey Broody! No, you didn't wake me up. Plus, I was hoping to hear from you, why else would I have given you my number silly."

"Good point. Listen, I had a great time getting to know you last night, and I was wondering if we could do it again."

"That depends on what you have in mind." Brooke replied.

"Well, I know of this quiet little Italian restaurant off of Bleeker Street. They have some of the best food in Boston. Have you ever been there?"

Brooke thought for a minute before answering then said, "I've heard of it, but I've never been there. I'd definitely be interested though."

Lucas trying to contain his excitement said, "Great! How does tonight work for you?"

Brooke suddenly felt disappointed. "My roommate that you met last night, Haley and I were planning on having a girls night in tonight."

Lucas feeling dejected responded, "Oh that's too bad. Maybe another night then."

Hearing Lucas' voice suddenly gave Brooke an idea. "Wait, I never said I wouldn't go. We just need to find me a replacement to spend the evening with Haley tonight."

"We?" Lucas asked.

"That's right Broody. Would you be able to find out if a certain basketball player has plans for the evening?"

Lucas answered, "Sure, that be easy enough since Nate is in the next room. Are you sure that Haley will go for this?"

Brooke smiled and replied, "Of course she will. I can be pretty persuasive when I want to be."

With that Lucas chuckled.

Brooke continued, "Plus the walls in my place are pretty thin. And while Haley spent last night arguing with your brother, there was no arguing with him when she entered sleepy, dreamy land if you know what I mean."

Lucas laughed again and said, "Whoa that's two TMIs in one day."

Brooke laughing too said, "I know." She paused and continued, "Wait, what do you mean."

Lucas still chuckling said, "Lets just say that Nathan and Haley were getting along quite well when I woke up Nate this morning."

Brooke was in hysterics by this point. "Whoa you're right those are two definite TMI's."

"So listen, I'm visiting my mom and Uncle Keith with Nate today, but I could pick you up at 8:00."

Brooke smiled, "8:00 is perfect. And what should I tell Haley about Nathan?"

"Hmmm. Tell her to wear something casual and that Nate will be over at 8:00 as well. I'll make sure that he surprises her with a wonderful evening."

Brooke was smiling from ear to ear by this point. "Great! We'll see you tonight Broody."

"Bye Brooke."

"Have a safe trip Broody!"
