"Brooke, what are we going to do?" Nathan said to Brooke as they laid in bed.
Brooke smiled at him, "Well, we could do more of what we just did."
"No, I'm being serious."
"So am I!"
Nathan rolled over to look at her. "Not that I'm complaining, but we need to figure out where this is going, and what we're going to tell people."
Brooke sighed, "Oh, that." She thought for a minute, "What if…we kept it a secret?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Like…we only act like we're dating when we're actually on a date. Or alone, or….having sex." She bit her lip and looked at him.
"Don't look at me like that, you're making it very hard to think right now."
"That's the idea. Come on, keeping it a secret will make it more exciting. Besides, I'm up for a challenge, aren't you?"
Nathan considered it, "When you put it that way…I guess I have no choice but to say yes."
"Good. Now, we are supposed to be at Tric in two hours, which means we have to get ready. Which also means I have to go home."
"Do you have to right now?"
"Yes. I'm a girl, we need a little more time to get ready than you do."
"Fine. But do I get a good-bye kiss?"
"I suppose." Already out of bed, Brooke leaned down and kissed Nathan on the lips. "See ya later, non-boyfriend."
