Thanks for the awesome replies... Chelsea: the Spurs are not going down... they have Ginobili from my country (Argentina) with them. He's the Olympic Gold Medalist! Sorry, I'm very proud of him and the way he represents my country at basketball. ;)

Chapter 2

Brooke looked at Nathan. All these years and he was still hot. She smiled at him

"Hello, Nathan..." she said

"Brooke, it's so great to see you" said Nathan and went to hug her. He didn't know why, but he was happy to see her. She left Tree Hill right after he and Haley got married and never came back.

Brooke hugged him "It's good to see you too, Scott" she said, trying to hold back the tears. She didn't wanna cry like a little girl on her first day on the job with all those men looking at her. But seeing Nathan brought back a lot of memories...

They pulled back and smiled at each other...

"Where have you been?" asked Nathan

"Here and there, you know me" smirked Brooke and Nathan laughed

"Good old Brooke Davis" he said

"Good old Nathan Scott"

"You guys know each other?" asked Manu

"We grew up together..." said Nathan "Brooke and I come from the same town, Tree Hill. But she left at the end of sophomore year and we never got to see each other again"

"Yeah. But now, we're working together" smiled Brooke

"You're a PR person. The perfect job for you" said Nathan

"Well, I like it" replied Brooke "So, how are you? How's Haley?" she asked

Nathan's face darkened "We're separated. Since last year"

Brooke felt awful "Nathan, I'm so sorry. I had no idea"

"No big deal. It's OK" he tried to smile...

They were interrupted by the President of the club who wanted to welcome Brooke. After that, Brooke was introduced to the rest of the team and she took her cue and started talking about the year's plans for the team. Nathan watched her, so serious and professional. Brooke was really good at it and Nathan felt proud of her. He didn't know why, but she seemed... different.

The meeting ended and the team left. Nathan stood there, he wanted to talk some more with Brooke. She smiled at him

"I think the meeting went OK, don't you?" she asked

"It was great. You sure know your job" he smiled at her "So, Brooke... what have you done all these years? You never called or wrote..." he said

Brooke's eyes darkened slowly "I'm sorry. I just needed a change. A big one" she tried to smile "I never meant to fade away but it just happened. I moved to Maryland and finished High School there. Also college. I was working here and there and then they offered me this"

"So, you just moved in? Need a hand with anything?" he asked

"I moved a week ago. I got everything settled so I'm OK. But thanks for asking" she replied a little shortly.

"Well, if there's anything I can do..." Nathan started

"I'm fine Nathan. What about you?"

"I'm OK... These last few months have been hard. But I got the team to focus on...So I'm cool"

"Speaking of... I'm sure you've got someone handling your PR personal stuff. So, tell them to give me a call so we can discuss things..." she said

Nathan smiled "Actually, I don't have anyone. I'm not into those things that much..."

Brooke raised an eyebrow and smirked "Nathan Scott is not into getting attention?" she smiled "Since when?"

"Hey, people can change..." he defended himself

"Sure..." said Brooke slowly

"I don't think I can hire a stranger to do it..." started Nathan

"I can help if you want" offered Brooke "it's not a problem"

"Are you sure?" he asked "I don't wanna be a bother"

"You're not... Come by my office tomorrow. We'll have lunch and discuss a good strategy for you. I mean, you're still really hot. I'm sure I can turn you into a sex symbol in no time" she smirked mischievously "Some shirtless pictures..."

"Hey, I'm not a Boy Toy!" he teased

"Yes you are... You wrote it on yourself once" she replied

"Fine" he sighed "I'll see you tomorrow then" he went to hug her "It's good to have you here, Brooke"

"I'm glad I'm here" she replied hugging him back "Now, go back to practice"
