Chapter 14

Aruba.

--

Brooke and her parent's had flown into New York City the night before they were leaving. It would just be easier that way then getting a connecting flight. Brooke had planned on meeting Nathan in Aruba the following day. He hadn't told her how he had booked a flight to Aruba and would be leaving the next morning on the flight with her. He booked a dinner reservation in New York City, after doing research on what would be a good place. As soon as he arrived in the city, he headed to her hotel, and knocked on her door.

Who could that be, Brooke said to herself. She hadn't ordered room service, her parents had left for dinner, and she had more pillows and blankets then she knew what to do with.

"Room service," Nathan called in a horribly fake British accent.

"I didn't order any, wrong room," Brooke called walking towards the door, she then looked in the hole, and saw Nathan standing there. She swung the door open.

"Nathan! You're here!"

He kissed her, "Yup. I wanted to surprise you. I got the same flight as you tomorrow. I didn't book a hotel in New York though, so guess I am staying with you. Why don't you get dressed and meet me in the lobby in an hour.."

Brooke looked at herself, she was in pj's, and her hair was a mess, and she had no makeup on. "An hour an a half?" Brooke tried to compromise.

"Yeah. Sure." Nathan smiled. Dinner wasn't for another three hours, he knew it would probably be two hours before she came downstairs.

He was waiting in the lobby when he saw Haley walking by the hotel. Oh god. She was with Chris. She just kept walking, she wasn't staying here, she must have just gone out to dinner. He saw her, but for once, he felt nothing. It had taken time, but he found himself feeling over her, completely. It wouldn't be easy to hurt her when the time came, but it was best for both of them that they both move on. He put seeing her out of his mind. He hadn't seen her, and there was no need to mention it to anyone. He sat around for a while, when Brooke finally came back down. She had a black dress, down to her knees on, that was thin strapped. She looked beautiful in it. She had her hair pulled back into a bun, and he handed her a box. It had a diamond neck less in it. It was shaped like a heart. On the back, Brooke noticed there was a small engraving. Brooke. I love you-Nathan.

"Oh my god...It's beautiful!" Brooke hugged him. She smelled great. She quickly went to put it on her neck.

"It looks great on you," He told her. "You don't think its too corny?"

She shook her head, "Of course not. I love it!"

They headed to dinner, where Nathan insisted that she order whatever she wanted.

"Nathan...are you sure? I mean where are you going to get the money to pay for this..."

"I've been working. Between your parents, and my father we have extra money every month...and the money I make working is all mine. I am choosing to use it on you, because I love you,"

They ate dinner together, and then spent sometime walking around the city.

"It's beautiful...this has been such a perfect night," Brooke told Nathan.

They went back to the hotel room, where they made love, and once again were able to fall asleep in each other's arms, until at five in the morning the alarm went off.

"Guess it's time to get going," Brooke complained, still feeling tired.

The flight was just over three hours. Brooke slept most of the flight, and Nathan watched tv, on the entertainment flight. When they arrived at the airport, they were driven over to their beautiful resort.

"Oh wow...they have jeep tours...where we can drive around the island and stuff," Brooke said, reading one of the magazines of things to do in the area. They swam in the pool and they sat around and had some drinks at the bar.

"They didn't check my ID," Brooke said, "That was awesome!"

"Well the drinking age is eighteen here...so..."

The next morning, they headed out for their first full day. They did snorkeling, and then they headed over for jeep tours. They had dinner that night with Brooke's parents.

The rest of the trip went by fast...to fast. Nathan and Brooke sat on the beach together on their last night there, wrapped in each other's arms.

"I had an amazing time," Nathan told her, kissing her.

"I did too. It was awesome."

"Yeah, I can totally see us coming back here for our honeymoon," Nathan said. Opps. That kind of came out wrong.

"Our honeymoon?"

"Well...I am not saying, "hey let's get married"...that isn't how I meant it. I do love you Brooke. I am willing to give up everything for you, so yes, I guess I see us being together forever. That being said, it's great to think about the future, but we have another year of high school left, and then we have college. Somewhere five years from now, yes I would love to marry you,"

"I can see us getting married. I can see us having little babies. I mean a girl as good looking as me, a boy as good looking as you, we would have some pretty damn cute babies," Brooke smiled.

Nathan was glad she hadn't freaked out. Of course he thought about spending forever with Brooke, but it had only been three months of them being together, and he was still technically married.
