"Thanks for going out with me tonight, Brooke. I really did have a good time." Nathan said to Brooke as they drove home from Tric.
Brooke smiled at him, "It was nothing. And…I had a good time too."
"Well, I guess this is your stop." He pulled up in front of Brooke and Rachel's house. She hesitated, and he wondered what she was thinking. "Ummm…thanks again."
Brooke leaned over and kissed him on the lips. It was soft, and she lingered there for a second. When she pulled back, she said, "I'll see you around." She gave him a small smile and got out of the car.
Nathan watched her walk to the door and insert they key. After she stepped inside and shut the door, he turned back to the road and sighed. What did he think was going to happen between them? She was Lucas' girl, and always would be. They might be broken up right now, but they always got back together. The one thing Nathan knew is that tonight he had seen the Brooke that Lucas did, the Brooke that Lucas fell in love with, and the Brooke that Nathan couldn't stop thinking about.
