To say that Brooke was confused would be a lie; she knew exactly what she was doing when she kissed him and knew well hoped for the opposite reaction that he gave her. She hoped that he would freak out and push her away so she wouldn't have to feel what she was feeling.

Brooke and Nathan had been hanging out after school a couple of days after Nathan was in the hospital and Brooke decided to just give in and kiss Nathan and to her surprise he kissed back. He was so gentle yet rough with her that when he pulled away to catch his breath she was left wanting more. They were so close to giving into passion and totally letting everything go to be with each other when Dan called ruining the perfect moment.

Nathan left screaming at Dan through the phone after giving Brooke one last kiss and promising that he would be back later. But that was almost 5 hours ago and Brooke had given up hope that he would actually come back leaving her to feel more alone then she had in a long time. Even after Lucas dumped her she didn't feel this alone, maybe she was just destined to be alone for the rest of her life.

Finally giving into sleep Brooke fell asleep watching the world cup for some reason. Why she had no clue probably because it was the only thing on that was actually exciting besides the talk shows about disgruntled exes who wanted revenge. After sleeping for what felt like 5 minutes to the overly-tired Brooke she grew restless and decided to go for a drive.

Tree Hill was such a small town that even cruising was boring. So Brooke decided to stop at the River Court after driving by 4 times to make sure that Lucas wasn't there. She sat on the one of the picnic tables and watched the few boats float freely on the river.

"Brooke what are you doing here?" She turned and saw Luke starring weirdly at her.

"Just thinking." She tried to sound bitchy but after what happened with Nathan she felt the bitchiness draining from her body leaving her vulnerable and just plain old normal something that people don't associate with Brooke.

"What's wrong?" He could read her like a book sometimes and Brooke at times hated it but now was actually relieved that he knew her so well.

"I kissed Nathan and we almost had sex and why am I telling you this?"

"Because I want to be your friend and help, so what happened after you kissed him?"

"Well like I said we got close to having sex but of course Dan called and he left promising to be back and that was 5 hours ago. So basically I screwed up royally this time."

"Well maybe something happened and he's out thinking like you are. I mean Nathan isn't the type to run away from something he cares about."

"He doesn't care about me, nobody does. I'm just the dumb bimbo cheerleader that no one can take seriously."

"People do care about you. It just takes time for them to warm up to your personality."

"You can stop lying now."

"He's right about everything." They turned and Nathan was standing on the court his eyes fixated on Brooke.

"I'm gonna leave you two to talk things out. I'll see you guys later." Luke stood up and walked past Nathan giving him a little push towards Brooke.

"Hey." Brooke turned back to the river as Nathan sat down next to her.

"I stopped by your house."

"As you can see I wasn't home."

"So I heard you talking to Luke and he's right ya know."

"Jeez you're just like him. Stop lying to me Nathan give me more credit than that."

"What are you talking about? I'm not lying I do care about you its just that what happened today caught me off-guard. I mean do you realize that we're making every high school cliché happen." Brooke chuckled a little against everything that was going on. "You know that we've both been through hell the past month with Lucas dumping you in front of everyone and Peyton kissing him in front of everybody therefore ending the relationship. That's why I don't want to rush into anything because I'm afraid of getting hurt again. The heart can only take so much before it breaks into a million pieces."

"And when it does break you have a hard time trusting people." Nathan nodded as the sun lowered to the horizon creating a picture perfect moment. Brooke smiled to herself as she inched closer to Nathan. They sat there watching the sunset before the cool breeze finally chilled them and they set off for home each preparing for the day ahead.

"Nathan what does this mean?" He stopped short of his car and looked at her.

"Whatever you want it to mean." He smiled at her before walking to his car. Finally coming up with a comeback Brooke rushed to his car before he pulled away.

"So that means if I think it's a booty call then it's a booty call?"

"No, we haven't had sex yet."

"Well if you come over that might change." She smiled and ran back to her car speeding off for home leaving Nathan in her dust. He shook his head as he started off towards her house curious as to where she was going with this. When he got to her house the front door was wide open he slowly made his way in and found a trail of clothes leading up the stairs. He laughed but picked them up on his way starting to realize that Brooke was probably naked upstairs waiting for him to come over.

When he finally got to the door to her bedroom he pulled the door open to find Brooke standing fully clothed with her arms in the air. He looked from her to the clothes in his hand and laughed. She smiled at him taking the clothes out of the hands throwing them on the floor in front of her closet.

"I knew that you would come over." He just merely laughed harder. "What's so funny?"

"Your little prank was so funny." She gave in and chuckled a little bit. "Now to really answer your question about what this is," He paused trying to catch his breath from laughing. "Only time will tell what this is." She looked up at him as he gently gave her a kiss.
