Chapter 9
Brooke and Nathan were kissing slowly but the kisses got more and more passionate within the minutes. Both of them were oblivious to the rest of the world, all that mattered to them was that they both wanted the same, felt the same. Then they heard someone coughing…
They broke the kiss and turned around to face the complete team of the Spurs looking at them with Manu in front of them, smirking broadly.
Brooke blushed from mortification as she tried to hide as much as she could… Nathan noticed this and he couldn't help but grinning at the fact that Brooke Davis was blushing at getting caught making out. He caringly put his arm around her waist, pulling her to him in a protective move. Brooke felt safe and some of the blushing started to fade away.
"Guys" said Manu "do you believe this is the right place to conduct yourselves like that?" he was still smirking and so was the rest of the team. They've seen Nathan devastated about losing Haley and they were happy that he had found someone else. Especially Brooke, since they all thought she was a perfect match for him.
Brooke blushed one more time. She was no longer a teenage cheerleader, she was a career woman and the team she worked for had just caught her making out with the star shooter in the middle of the parking lot!
She started to mumble… "Actually… I …we …" she couldn't find a good explanation. 'Damn' she thought 'I used to be able to do this'
Her shyness and demure melted Nathan's heart. He looked at the team and smiled "Actually, guys…although we appreciate your view on the subject, I believe that you're making the lady blush. And that's not the way the Spurs treat a lady last time I checked. So, how about you all move onto your cars… In case you haven't noticed, we were at the middle of something in here…" he looked at Brooke grinning and she just started to laugh at the whole situation.
Manu looked at them smiling and nodded at Nathan. "As you please, my friend. I just thought you might want to continue that in a more private location…" he smirked at Brooke and took a bow "Milady, we apologize if our comment made you blush… For what it's worth, us the Spurs consider you our Queen…" he said and the rest of the team played along and vowed at her.
Brooke looked at them smirking "Apology accepted" she said brightly "Now, carry on, my lords… I was, after all, in the middle of something"
After the team left, Nathan and Brooke looked at each other.
"So…" said Brooke
"So…" grinned Nathan grabbing some of Brooke's hair and putting it behind her ear while he drank her with his look "I think we should continue this in another place" he said softly as he leaned in and kissed her.
"Are you sure, Nathan?" asked Brooke "because I…"
Nathan saw where Brooke was heading "Brooke, this is not a one night stand for me. I've put that behind me a long time ago. I like you… I want to give us a try"
Brooke looked at him, her eyes filled with emotion. She leaned in and kissed him softly… Nathan responded to her kiss and they embraced in each other one more time. When they came up for air, Nathan asked
"Your car is still in the garage?" Brooke nodded. "Patrick?" he asked again
"The sitter is staying with him tonight since I was going to work until late at night" said Brooke
Nathan smirked… "Then, my place, now" he said. Brooke smirked at him with the corner of her mouth "Let's go handsome" she said
They arrived at Nathan's place. Brooke took a look around. It was a simple flat, three bedrooms, a beautiful balcony and a great view.
"This place is really nice" she said
"Thanks" said Nathan "I know that it has little furniture, but Haley took most of it and I didn't feel like buying some…" he trailed off when he realized he had mentioned Haley.
Brooke looked at him and smiled "Nathan, is OK. You have a past and so have I. I don't want you to feel like you can't talk about Haley or any other subject…"
Nathan got closer and kissed her softly "You sure are something, Brooke Davis" he said
"Right back at you" said she, starting to feel a little nervous. It had been a while since she had done this…
"Would you like some wine?" he asked
"Beer, actually" said Brooke
"My type of girl" smirked Nathan as he got two beers out of the fridge and handed Brooke one. She opened it and took a sip as she sat on the couch…
Nathan sat close to her. He could sense that Brooke was nervous and so was he…
"Brooke…" he said and she looked at him "Listen, nothing has to happen tonight. We can just talk if you want…"
"Really?" asked Brooke not knowing whether to feel relief or disappointed.
Nathan smiled tenderly at her "I like you, Brooke. So, if we have to go slow in order to make this work because you're not sure yet, then it's fine by me"
Brooke just couldn't believe she was hearing this from Nathan. But then, yes, she could. Nathan had changed as much as she did within the years and they were just on the same page…
She smiled back at him and got closer… she caressed his arm with her hand
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I'm afraid I'm not gonna be good…" she said
"Brooke Davis? Come on!" exclaimed Nathan
"It's been a while… I'm a little rusty" replied Brooke looking away
Nathan made her look at him as he held her hand on his "Listen, this is about you and me and how much we like each other now. It's not about how experienced or gifted we can be. This is about us… baby"
Brooke kissed him softly but it got passionately almost immediately. Nathan moved to kiss her neck and Brooke moaned softly…
"That feels good" she said
"And I'm just starting" said Nathan and Brooke laughed
"Let's see if I can remember how to do this" she joked as she started to unbutton his shirt while she planted soft feather kisses on his sculptured chest. Nathan's breathing got heavier and he moaned too
"Well, I guess I'm not so rusty" Brooke smirked at him and Nathan lifted her up to kiss her one more time on the lips…
"Let's do this, baby" said Brooke and Nathan lifted her and carried her to the room while she kissed him slowly.
