A/N: Hey! So everyone's reviews made me so happy that it inspired me to write another chapter in like an hour! I was so excited that everyone liked the last chapter! Big thanks to Morgan for always being there when I need help! Love ya girl! And thank you to everyone that reviewed. It means a lot! It is getting kid of late here though so I'm going to skip the personal thank yous this time. Sorry! But please leave a review and tell me what you think! Thanks!

Once the party had winded down, the only people left were Brooke, Nathan, Peyton, Tim, Lucas, Haley, and Skills. Nathan agreed to let everyone stay there, including Lucas and Haley. Peyton took one guestroom, Tim took another, and Lucas and Haley slept in the last guestroom. Skills grabbed the couch while Brooke and Nathan had disappeared into his bedroom not long after the kiss outside. Things were really starting to heat up in there.

"Nathan wait!" Brooke said, pushing him away slightly and sitting up on the bed. "What's wrong?" he asked, running a hand through her brunette locks. "Okay, might sound odd coming from me, but can we wait for the whole sex thing? I mean, we just go together and I don't know about you, but in my past relationships, sex just screwed everything up," she explained, looking a little embarrassed.

"Okay!" he said, getting off the bed and finding his shirt. "Are you mad?" she asked, pulling her shirt over her head. "No, of course not!" he told her, going to sit back down next to her, "Brookie, I love you. And if you're not ready, then I'm not ready. When you are ready, then so will I!"

"Thank you Natey! I love you too!" she said, kissing him lightly, "But I am also exhausted. How about we just go to sleep?" "Sounds good to me! Goodnight babe!" he said, lying down next to her under the covers.

"Oh, hey Brooke? Would you like to go out on our first date tomorrow night?" he whispered in her ear. "I would love to Nathan Scott!" she answered before falling asleep.

The Next Morning:

Nathan awoke to an empty bed. Reaching over to the nightstand, he grabbed the note that was right next to the clock that read 11:45 am. Brooke had been sweet enough to leave him a note to explain why she wasn't there. The note said:

Natey,

Sorry I'm not here for our first morning as a couple! But I HAD to go shopping for our first date! Took P. Sawyer with me. Pick me up at 8 tonight!

Love you to the moon and back!

Brookie

He smiled as he got up to go see the damage the party had left. Walking downstairs, he saw Skills still passed out on the couch with Lucas, Haley, and Tim sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast.

"Hey Nate! Killer party last night huh?" Tim asked as Nathan saw an extra plate of eggs and bacon on the stove. "Yeah, um, where did the food come from?" he asked, pointing at the plate. "Oh, that was me! Sorry, but I actually got hungry today, so I rummaged through the fridge here and made breakfast!" Haley said with a slight smile. "Oh, well thanks!" he laughed, grabbing the plate and sitting down at the table next to Tim and across from Lucas and Haley. "Hey Nate, can I talk to you outside for a minute?" Lucas asked, standing up and grabbing his jacket. Nathan followed, grabbing a jacket laying on the couch and walking out the back door. They walked out onto the back patio and went down the pier about ten feet away from the back door.

"So, uh, you and Brooke huh?" Lucas stuttered. Nathan gave him an odd look before replying, "Yeah, crazy isn't it?" with a slight laugh.

"Look, Nathan, I really just wanted to talk to you to see if we're still cool," Lucas said, leaning against the pier. "If we're still cool? Lucas, you realize that you were sleeping with my girlfriend behind my back right?" Nathan scoffed. "I know that Nate and I'm sorry. But you're still me brother. I don't want to lose you. Besides, Haley said you already forgave her. Why can't you forgive me?" Lucas demanded.

"You want my forgiveness? Fine, you can have it. But that doesn't mean we're okay. I forgave Haley because we came to an understanding. Do I love Brooke? God yes! I realized a long time ago that I was in love with her and not Haley. So maybe I should have ended it with Haley back then and then we would be okay. But you're my brother Lucas! That means more than my girlfriend cheating on me. Brothers aren't supposed to do shit like that to each other!" Nathan said loudly, starting to get angry, "And besides, you should be glad I didn't just kick your ass when I found out. If I hadn't have been so worried about Brooke, you would probably still be in the hospital! So back the fuck off!"

With that being said, Nathan turned around and started walking back to the house with Lucas hot on his heels. "Nathan! Nate stop! Come on, don't do this!" Lucas shouted after him. "No, Lucas! I didn't do anything! You did. You're the brother I trusted that slept with my girlfriend and got her pregnant!" he yelled back at him. "But you just said you weren't even in love with Haley! What does it matter?" Lucas demanded.

"Don't you dare twist my words around! Whether I was in love with Haley or not doesn't matter! She was still my girlfriend and you don't go there!" Nathan shouted, getting up in Lucas' face. Before Lucas could come up with something to say, Haley was suddenly between them, pushing them apart.

"Stop this right now! Lucas go get in the car and wait for me! GO!" she yelled, shoving him towards the house. When she saw that he was inside she turned to Nathan, "I'm sorry Nate. If I had known he was going to do that, I would have stopped him!" she apologized.

"It's not your fault Hales. We all knew this was going to happen at some point. Just because I forgave you, he thinks I should forgive him too. Doesn't he realize that brothers don't do that?" he asked, trying to calm himself down and make sense of everything at the same time. "I know Nathan. And I will talk to him. You just worry about Brooke now. She's your girlfriend now and you should concentrate on being happy with her!" Haley smiled before walking away.

As soon as Haley got into the driver's seat of Lucas' car, knowing he was too upset to drive, she started the car and pulled off the street. The car ride back to her house was silent, both contemplating what to say. When she pulled into her driveway, she put the car in park and then turned on Lucas.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" she demanded. "What's wrong with me? What about Nathan? I mean, he can forgive you but he can't forgive me? I don't get it!" Lucas sulked. "Lucas, you are his brother! Don't you realize that? There are just unwritten rules that brothers should know!" Haley told him. "So what, are you saying you regret being with me?" Lucas asked warily.

"No, of course not! Lucas, I love you and you know that. But I do wish it could have happened differently. You just need to see where Nathan is coming from," Haley explained, getting out of the car and walking inside her house. Lucas, now to the point of being incredibly pissed off, just ran around the side of the car, got into the driver's seat, and took off for his house.

At the Mall:

"Brooke, can you shut up about how Nathan kisses for five minutes? I did date him you know? I know how he kisses!" Peyton complained, walking into the eighth store of the day, Macy's. Brooke was looking for the perfect outfit for her first date with Nathan and had yet to find anything.

"Okay, first of all, I do not want to hear about you and my boyfriend!" Brooke joked, "Secondly, I can't help it! It just feels so good!" she laughed, not hearing another person walk up to them. "Hey guys! What feels so good?" Haley asked, causing Brooke and Peyton to turn around with wide eyes.

"Oh, um, nothing! What are you doing here?" Peyton stammered while Brooke turned bright red with embarrassment. "Oh, just some shopping! You know, maternity clothes and all! What about you guys?" Haley asked, holding up her selected items to show them. "Nice choices! Bold colors are always good for pregnant women!" Brooke stuttered awkwardly, "But um, actually, my first date with Nathan is tonight so I needed something to wear," she said quickly.

"Really? That's great! I think you should definitely wear red, you look great in red!" Haley suggested, trying to make this moment less awkward. "That is a great idea Hales! Well, we'll let you get back to your shopping and we'll try to find something red for Brooke here! Bye!" Peyton said rather quickly, dragging Brooke off to the juniors section in a hurry.

"Ow, Peyt! You're about to break my arm!" Brooke whined, pulling her arm away from Peyton. "I'm sorry! That was just too weird for me!" Peyton laughed. Brooke nodded along with her and went about trying to find an outfit. "Peyt, do you think she's right? Should I wear red?" Brooke asked tentatively, wondering if she should listen to Haley at all. "Why not? You do look good in red!" Peyton told her, holding up a halter top in a deep red color. "Cute! I don't know, maybe I'm being stupid, but I don't want to listen to Haley. I mean, the last time I listened to her, she promised me she was going to try to get through to my boyfriend, but she was really sleeping with him! So maybe she's telling me to wear red because she actually thinks I look ugly in red!" Brooke explained, avoiding Peyton's gaze.

"Brooke! That is the stupidest thing I've heard! To be honest with you, I think Haley is just trying to be nice! I mean, so yeah, she slept with Lucas when yall were together and cheated on Nathan. But maybe she's just trying to get back into your good graces? Yall were pretty good friends before this happened," Peyton suggested. "Maybe. I don't know. What about this top? Still has a little red in it!" Brooke asked, holding up a black halter with little red cherry blossoms on it.

"That's perfect! And it would go great with your skinny jeans, those cute black heels with the red lining, and my leather jacket!" Peyton told her. Brooke quickly agreed, going to pay for the top before heading to the food court for some lunch.

That Night:

Brooke was almost done getting ready when Nathan knocked on her bedroom door. Brooke turned to see him standing there and rushed to shut the door. "I'm not ready yet! Go see Peyton for a minute!" Brooke shouted through the door. Nathan walked to Peyton's room with a smile on his face to find Peyton lying on her bed flipping through a magazine.

"Hey Natey! Excited for your big date?" Peyton smirked as Nathan took a seat next to her. "Is it weird that I'm kind of nervous? Especially since she just slammed the door in my face!" he laughed. "If it makes you feel any better, I'm kind of nervous too!" he heard Brooke say from the doorway. When he turned to look at her, he took in the sight of her for a moment before he could form words in his head.

"Babe, you look amazing!" he said, walking up to her. "Thanks! You look almost as hot as me!" she laughed, not knowing if she should kiss him or not. Before she could decide, Nathan leaned down and gave her a breath taking kiss.

"Ew! Guys, please, not in my room!" Peyton joked. They just rolled their eyes before leaving her room and heading for Nathan's car. "So where are you taking me?" Brooke asked when they left the house.

"I figured we could grab a bite to eat and then figure something out!" he said, heading towards the downtown area. Brooke accepted his answer and didn't ask any more questions until they pulled up in front of the most expensive restaurant in town. She didn't ask any questions, just followed him inside. The hostess seated them at a corner table and took their drink order before Brooke decided to speak.

"Nate, what are we doing here?" she asked curiously, looking around at the other customers dressed up nicely, making Brooke feel under dressed. "You don't like it?" he asked self-consciously. "No, it's not that. It's just, it's a little fancy don't you think?" she questioned, trying not to hurt his feelings. Nathan took a second to look around at everyone before nodding.

"You're right! Come on, let's get out of here!" he said, taking her hand and guiding her out of the restaurant, "I have an idea!"

He led her back to the car and opened the door for him before getting into the driver's seat and starting the car. "Where to now?" Brooke asked, putting her seatbelt on.

"It's a surprise!" Nathan told her, driving away. They drove for about five minutes before pulling up in front of a building with the name Speedy's on the side.

"Nate! You remembered!" Brooke gasped. "Of course I remembered! We had our first kiss here!" he laughed, remembering his eighth birthday. His mother had agreed to let him have his birthday party here. Speedy's was a huge arcade that also had go-cart racing outside. Brooke and Peyton had been the only girls to be invited. Peyton hadn't even wanted to go, still mourning her mother's death, but Brooke had insisted they show up, hoping it would put Peyton in a better mood. Nathan had bet against Brooke, saying he could beat her in a go-cart race. Brooke, never one to back down from a bet, demanded that she could win, and if she did, he owed her a kiss!

As soon as she sped through the finish line ahead of him, she jumped out of her car and ran towards him yelling, "You owe me a kiss now!"

Nathan, embarrassed for having to kiss his best friend, quickly pecked her lips and then ran off towards the arcade, avoiding her for the rest of the day.

Brooke jumped out of the car and ran over to the fence, looking out on the go-cart track with a smirk on her face. "Bet I can still beat you!" she jested, turning to face him, leaning back on the fence while Nathan placed his arms on the fence on either side of her. "And what do you get if you win?" he asked with a smile. "A kiss!" she said seriously.

"Baby, you don't have to win a bet for that!" Nathan smirked before leaning down to kiss her.
