Usually when you live with a boyfriend of girlfriend you have at least started dating. Most people would be shocked to hear that Brooke and Nathan were young and "runaways". They both ran away from a dramatic roller coaster like small town. Nathan's boss was surprised when he heard about Nathan's story and Brooke's boss being a sweet romantic believer repeat 29er offered Brooke a place to stay when things were rough.

But the only rough thing about living in Boston was Haley. She called Nathan at least 20 times a day some times even 10 times an hour and it was pissing both Nathan and Brooke off. Brooke hated when Nathan talked to Haley because he was always in a foul mood and distant after he talked to her and when Brooke's trying to start a relationship with Nathan it puts her two steps back. She just wanted things to be drama free in Boston.

Nathan just wanted the divorce finalized so he could get Haley out of his life for good and to move on with his life. He really did want to have a low key life in Boston and a healthy drama free relationship with Brooke without Haley looming over his head. Thinking back on his marriage to Haley he didn't regret being with her but he did regret what happened between them. They were going in two different directions and staying together wouldn't allow them to grow and fulfill their dreams. If his marriage to Haley hadn't of ended then he would have ever gotten to know Brooke and be with Brooke right now.

Speaking of Haley Nathan's phone went off by his head and before he could reach it Brooke snatched up his phone and walked out of the room. "Brooke!" He called after her shooting out of bed and throwing his boxers on before Brooke did something she would later regret. "What are you doing?" She looked up and merely smiled.

"Haley hun get a clue. He doesn't want to be with you anymore. If he wanted to he would be there with you right now trying to fix your problems. You need to just move on and find someone who wants to be with you." Nathan smiled and wrapped his arms around Brooke as she listened to Haley yell into the phone. He pushed her hair aside and kissed her neck while she tried to swat in away. He moved further up kissing behind her ear and pulling away as she shivered. Spinning her around he grabbed the phone out of her hand.

"Bye Haley." He shut the phone and tossed it aside gently pushing Brooke towards the couch. Nathan gently pushed her down so he was on top of her as his phone went off across the room. Brooke went to answer it but Nathan stopped her. "Leave it." She nodded and pulled Nathan's shirt over her head.

Nathan couldn't remember the last time that he and Brooke actually had a conversation about themselves. "I should get to know her more." He thought as they cuddled on the couch watching some sappy chick flick that had come on. He looked down at Brooke whose eyes were glued to the TV screen not wanting to miss a moment of the movie.

Brooke shifted a little as the credits rolled and got up but Nathan caught her wrist before she could walk away. "Where are you going?"

"To bed this couch is uncomfortable." She pulled him up with her and moved towards the bedroom.

"I don't wanna go to bed I'm not tired." He whined pulling her towards the couch.

"Who says we're going to sleep?" She smiled wickedly grabbing Nathan's shirt on her way. She shut the door and counted to five in her head. Right on 5 Nathan come in the door and they fell back on the bed Haley and the divorce the last things on his mind.

As Nathan and Brooke laid in bed Brooke felt content with the ways were for now. She was just waiting until she didn't have to compete with Haley for Nathan's attention and she hoped that after all was said and done she and Nathan could be together.
