"Its always such a joy watching you work" Nathan teased. Brooke was having a bad day, and pouted about half the time she worked. She responded with one mean look and went to the next table to get their orders. Nathan smiled to himself as he took a sip of his coffee.
After five minutes Brooke sat down and let out a big sigh.
"Whats wrong?" Nathan asked
"uh.. dont wanna talk about it" Brooke responded. She sighed again and looked down at the fries in front of Nathan.
"if you want it, just take it" Nathan said and Brooke looked at him with her eyebrows curled. "I mean the fries" Nathan laughed. Brooke nodded her head and then shook it.
"not hungry" She said
"bad day?" Nathan asked, taking some fries and putting it in his mouth.
"thats basically the definition of my life.. one big bad day" She said and played with the table decoration in front of her. "Ive been working so bad the last couple of weeks, Karen will have to fire me soon" Brooke whined. She didnt like the job but it was all she had. She needed the money.
"then get a new job.. or at least keep your eyes up for new ones if you do get fired" Nathan said and Brooke threw a napkin at him. Nathan started laughing.
"ha-ha" she said as fake as she could. "not funny.. your suppose to make me feel better!" She sighed for the third time. Nathan shook his head.
"are you sure your not working bad today because of the one-week-every-month" Nathan said and Brooke raised her eyebrows.
"ass" she whispered and smiled. She then got up and wrote something on a note and placed it next to his plate. "your check" she said and walked away.
Nathan picked up the check and looked at it.
"You owe me one movie night, your buying, because of your lack of making me feel better
PS, lunch is on me"
He laughed and looked after her, but it looked like she was on her lunch break. Nathan got up and started walking towards the door, when Brooke popped up and gave him another note.
"Come again" She said, smiling, and walked away. Nathan looked at the note and smiled
"My place, 7.30. Dont be late!"
He stuffed the note in his pocket and walked out of the cafe. Brooke was standing behind him and watching him as he left. She walked over to the table Nathan was sitting, to clean it, but stopped when she saw a note. She curled her eyebrows and threw it in the garbage.. he must have forgotten to throw hers..
Later that day Brooke had been going crazy with cleaning her place. She was sure to write the adresse on the note, since Nathan hadnt been there. She had put out popcorn, snacks and of course candy on the table. She had rented a scary movie and a romantic. She took two, so Nathan could choose. She had ordered pizza too, but wasnt sure if Nathan had eaten or not. Either way she was starving.
The clock was 7 and Brooke just couldnt wait, she had to eat. She picked up the phone and dialed the number to the pizza place, which she could by heart. Ordered an ordinary cheese and ham pizza.
She hung up and heard the door bell ring. "wow they are fast" she said to herself and smiled. She opened the door, and outside Nathan was standing.
"I know, Im early" Nathan said and Brooke smiled.
"Youve always been" Brooke said and winked at him. She invited him in and closed the door after him. "Ive already set the table with candy and stuff.. and a pizza is actually coming now.. though I wasnt quite sure if you wanted some, Im starving myself so I have to have it" Brooke said. She kept on walking around to find different stuff. She was fixing her hair in every mirror she past.
"ok" Nathan responded, checking out the place.
"ok what?" Brooke said popping her head out of the bedroom.
"Ok, Ill take some pizza" Nathan smiled. "what movie did you rent?"
"Oh my god I rented the best scary movie ever, have you seen 'the texas chainsaw massacre'?" Brooke asked walking out of the bedroom, and into the living room where Nathan was looking at all the pictures she had.
"no I havent" Nathan responded and stopping at one picture. It was of Brooke and Haley from the senior year.. from a party. Brooke was wearing one of those silly beer-hats and had a goofy smile on her face. It looked like she was having fun. Haley on the other side, was in her ordinary clothes. She didnt look like she was enjoying it.. Nathan remembered that party. It was when Nathan had ignored Haley the whole night..
"awesome, I might have to comfort you cause youll be so scared you wont be able to sleep at night" Brooke said and turned on the tv. Nathan was still looking at the picture, and when Brooke looked over at him she noticed.. he hadnt moved for five minutes now. She walked up to him and saw the picture. She didnt know what to say.. her brain just stopped for a second..
"Great party" She said..
"uhm.. yeah" Nathan said. Brooke closed her eyes, knowing she said something stupid. She always did manage to make perfectly miserable moments even worse.
"sorry.." she said "Ill just put that away" she took the picture and placed it in the drawer and sat back in the couch. Nathan opened the drawer and looked at another picture inside that Brooke had placed there before Nathan came. He started laughing.
"what?" She said and walked up to Nathan and looked at the picture "Oh my god" She whispered, hiding her face in her hands. It was from last halloween when Brooke dressed up as a clown.
"a clown?" Nathan said inbetween the laughs. Brooke quickly grabbed the picture and placed it back where it belonged.
"yes.. and its a reason why its not up on the picture table-of-fame" She said and blushed.
"is Brooke Davis blushing?" Nathan said, which made Brooke blush even more. She never blushed! She was always so.. Brooke!
"Shut up" she said and walked to the couch. Seemed like she had walked back and forth a million times now.
"but aaww you look so cute" Nathan teased.
"shut up!" Brooke said again and looked at him. He had the biggest smile on his face, she couldnt do anything but smile herself.
"So.. did you rent anymore movies?" Nathan asked and Brookes smile got bigger now.
"yes I did.. my all time favorite" she said and went to get it. She came back and held up a movie in front of Nathan. "The notebook"
Nathan looked at it and then at Brooke with his eyebrows raised. "Brooke Davis..are you going to notebook me?" He asked, and Brooke looked at him a little lost.
"oh my god, no!" She said "no no no no no" she continued. "I swear I didnt even think about that I mean.. it really is my favorite and .. I just thought.." she said. Nathan started laughing and had to stop her.
"its ok, I was only kidding" he said and Brooke closed her eyes again, hoping to fall under the ground. Embaressing! Then the door bell rang 'saved by the bell' Brooke thought. She opened the door and finally, the pizza! Brooke paid the guy and closed the door. She walked into the kitchen and placed the pizza on the table.
"Nathan, dinner" She said, aware that she sounded like a mother. She smiled to herself. Nathan walked in and laughed.
"you know I would say you sound like my mom, but your voice is more pretty" He said and Brooke smiled. She felt the blushing coming back but she managed to think of something else.
"eat it while its hot" She said and gave him a slice. "wait you have to have a plate.. I have become this insanly clean person and I dont want you to drop any greecy food on my couch" She said and gave him a plate.
"dont worry, I will try not to" He said and walked into the living room. Brooke stayed in the kitchen, thinking about what movie to watch first.. the notebook or the texas chainsaw massacre? She was still a little afraid to watch the scary movie.. but she did have Nathan to protect her. She smiled and took herself a slice, and plate and walked into the kitchen where Nathan was. She put in the movie and started it. She sat down next to Nathan and made herself comfortable. The movie started and Nathan put his arm around Brooke.. friendly of course.
She loved movie nights.
