First off, I just wanted to say how sorry I am that it has taken me this long to update. I have been trying to update at least once a week, but my computers battery charger broke, so I had to wait until my new one came in. So please except my apology. Thanks.

Please let me know if you are still reading this story, if not then I will just stop writing and will just be a reader. Thanks.

"Hello Julian, yes I am Brooke. Sorry I was thinking about...ummm...Well Christy told me that your body...I mean that I need to measure you for the upcoming fashion show," Brooke stumbled. Normally Brooke was confident in herself, but for some reason Julian made her self-conscious.

"That sounds good to me. I hope that we get to spend some time together because I heard that you are a very nice girl," replied Julian.

"Umm...thanks, but who do you know that knows me?" questioned a confused Brooke.

"Oh sorry. Your friend, Rachel, and I modeled together in LA," replied Julian.

"Oh wow you know Rachel. She and I used to cause a lot of trouble in high school," smirked Brooke.

"Yeah, Rachel was a little wild when we were in LA," replied Julian.

Suddenly Brooke's phone started to ring, so she left the room to answer the call. "Hello, Peyton, what's up?" questioned Brooke.

"Not too much, but Lucas' book tour got cancelled because they did not promote it well. But you don't need to know that, but since he is home we decided to move the party up to tonight," said Peyton.

"Are you sure Peyton? I mean don't you think that it would be mean to throw a party right after his book tour was cancelled," stated Brooke.

"I cannot believe you, Brooke Penelope Davis, are questioning throwing a party. You love parties," Peyton commented.

"I know I love parties, but I just don't think it would be right to throw a party celebrating my new job, when Lucas just got his heart broken," said Brooke.

"I appreciate you thinking about him, but I think a party would take his mind off of his failed book tour," said Peyton.

"Well if you think that is a good idea, then I am not one to turn down a party. I will try to be at Haley's house at 8 tonight," said a very happy Brooke.

For the next two hours Brooke picked out clothes for Julian to model and they bantered back and forth. To Brooke it seemed like they had known each other for many years. Brooke was really starting to like Julian, perhaps Julian and her could turn into something more.

It was now nearing 6pm when Brooke finally looked at the clock. "Oh shit," stated Brooke.

"What's wrong? Did I say or do something wrong" questioned Julian.

"No, I just realized what time it was and I need to go home and get myself cleaned up because my friends and I are having a party. It is a party to celebrate my best-friend and her husband having a daughter and my new job," replied Brooke.

"You seem to have some very cool friends. And for your information I do not think it will take you long to clean-up. You look fine to me," commented Julian with his usual smirk that Brooke was starting to love.

"Well thanks Julian. I really need to go though," replied Brooke. Brooke really had no clue what to say after Julian's last comment. Julian and her could talk easily, but she was not expecting him to be that forward with her.

Brooke left the store thinking about what Julian had said to her right before she exited the store. Brooke was unsure if Julian liked her more than a friend or if she was just exaggerating. Brooke knew she needed to talk to Peyton about this because for some reason Peyton knew what boys where thinking.

It took Brooke an hour to clean herself up after she had gotten home from work, so she still had some time to talk to Peyton about Julian.

Brooke carefully entered the Sawyer-Scott household in fear of seeing what she saw before Lucas left for his book tour.

Brooke found Peyton in the baby's nursery. It looked like Peyton had been in deep thought before she had entered the baby's room.

"Yes, everything is fine. I was just thinking about our little girl. I am so excited to meet her...But enough about me, how was the first day of your job?" questioned Peyton.

"Oh it was great, but I really need to talk to you about something. I met this guy and we seemed to have a lot in common, but I need your opinion on whether we should be just friends or if you think he likes me in a more than friends way," replied Brooke.

"You can always count on Brooke to find a guy on her first day of work," commented Peyton. "What makes it seem like he may like you as more than a friend?"

Brooke filled Peyton in on everything they had said to one another earlier during the day. After 45 minutes of talking, Peyton told Brooke that she needed to keep flirting with Julian, but that she thinks he likes her more than a friend. Peyton encouraged Brooke to invite Julian to the party tonight.

"Peyton I think it makes me look desperate considering the party starts in 15 minutes," replied Brooke.

"Brooke you already mentioned it to him. Plus he already said that he had no plans tonight. Plus it is just friends hanging out, so no pressure," commented Peyton.

Brooke looked at her phone debating whether or not she should call Julian.
