"To be honest I think I already found her."

His lips intoxicatingly luscious closed over hers in a gentle sensual kiss, his tongue stroking and thrusting inside her mouth with such skill that it took her breath away. She broke the kiss, her eyes reading his.

"I think that I found the one too."

Before anyone knew it the trip was over and it was time to say their goodbyes.

"I don't know if this can go anywhere. I leave for New York tomorrow and once there I'm back to being a busy woman with barely enough time for family and friends as it is. Where would a relationship fit that? Where would it fit into my hectic lifestyle? I hate to admit that but it's the truth."

"So you don't want to figure anything out?"

Brooke sighed then sat at the table. "What's there to figure out? It was foolish of me to think that this could go any further than this trip."

"No it wasn't foolish at all. We can work. Just give us a real shot Brooke. Two weeks from now we'll meet at the River side Park in New York. Two o'clock. If you don't show I will have my answer."

Brooke landed in Tree Hill over an hour ago. Yes she was supposed to go to New York first thing but she decided to extend her vacation a week and spend time with her best friend Haley for her birthday. Of course Haley doesn't know that she was coming. She smiled and felt that wonderful feeling of coming home for the first time in years.

Brooke made reservations for a week long stay at the hotel here so she wouldn't have to crash with her deliriously happily married friend.

She hailed a taxi and told the driver the address to the hotel to drop off her luggage and then on to Haley's. It was a forty minute ride but she was finally in front of Haley's home aka Naley's place as she affectionately called them. Taking a deep breath she knocked on the door and found a smiling Haley who ended up screaming her welcome as well as hugging her tightly.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were in town?!" Haley asked after releasing her.

"What kind of surprise would it be if I let you know that I was coming?"

Haley dragged her into the house, "I'm so glad you are here! I missed you Tigger."

"I missed you too Tutor wife. So how are you and Nathan doing?"

"Um we are great actually. He's been very good to me and I try to be good to him."

Nathan crept up behind Haley then kissed her neck and said, "What do you mean try? You are good to me." he then grinned and greeted their guest, "Hey Brooke what brings you to our neck of the woods?"

"A mini vacation from my vacation." she said with a little laugh.

"Really? Sounds exciting. Wanna fill us in?"

Brooke grinned, "I'm not sure you can handle it. My adventure was pretty hot."

Haley looked at her husband and said, "This sounds more like girl talk so why don't you go over to your brother's and see about him. I heard he gets home today."

"Kicked out of my own house. I see I'm not wanted. I can take a hint wife."

Haley kissed his lips soothingly, "Oh you're wanted…just not for this. Tell Luke I said hi!"

"Will do. Later Brooke." he then took his car keys and left the house.

Haley turned to her best friend with a wide grin, "Okay tell me everything!"

"Well you know that I was having a hard time getting over Julian right?"

"Right."

"I booked myself a vacation on a cruise liner. But I had no idea that it was couples only so the beginning sucked as you could only imagine. But then I met this guy who was interesting and intense and hot. We spent two incredible weeks together having hot sex and getting to know each other and I ended up kind of falling for him. He said that he felt like he found the one…he told me that in two weeks from yesterday we should meet in New York at a specific time and place. If I showed then we can take our romance from there."

"Ooh that's so romantic!" Haley gushed with a smile, "So what's mystery guys name?"

Brooke grinned wistfully, "Lucas Scott."

Haley's eyes widened in shock. Who'd have thought that her best friend would meet and fall for Nathan's brother of all people on a cruise that they practically forced on him to get his inspiration back.

But then she smiled bright, "Brooke how long are you staying here?"

"I told you I was here for a week."

She nodded, "Good I miss my best friend."

-x-

"Oh my God what is he doing here?" Brooke asked her at the sight of her Lucas coming through the door an hour later.

Haley shrugged in a clueless way, "Flipped a coin in my head. Came up tails which was invite my brother in law over for dinner. Talk to the man. I'll be over there with my husband who happens to be his brother."

Brooke gaped at her friend as she walked away. Haley then went to Nathan as promised but had pointed in her direction.

And now Lucas was strolling towards her, an ecstatic expression on his face. He lifted her up easily and kissed the living daylights out of her, kissing her with excitement and passion and tenderness. Brooke melted, and kissed him back until the need for air intervened.

"I can't believe that you're here! How did you know that—"

"I didn't. I came to visit Haley and I had no idea that she was your Haley. But anyway I told her about our trip and mentioned your name and she called you here."

Lucas grinned at her, "God I'm so glad that you are here! I almost can't believe it. It's fate. Fate brought us together again."

Brooke giggled and smiled happily, "That had to be it. What else can explain this?"

"That means that you and I can give us a real chance."

Brooke nodded with a happy smile, "Looks that way…"

Two years later…

Brooke Davis Scott lounged on one of Haley's lounge chairs watching her husband talk with Nathan about his new romance novel Lovers Voyage a tale based loosely on the start of their romance. His third New York bestseller. Brooke read every single page and had literally attacked him and had her way with him more than she could count.

Which was why she was six months pregnant with their second child now.

"Mama!" One year old Jada said as she waddled her way over to Brooke. She had curly chocolate brown hair and her father's blue eyes.

She said as she lifted the toddler in her arms. "Oh my little bug! C'mere baby!" she then blew on her little stomach and earned a fit of giggles.

Lucas strolled to them with a happy smile, "How're my two favorite ladies doing?" he then kissed her protruding baby bump and said, "Hey little man…I can't wait to see you…"

"Dada!" Jada said with uninhibited joy, reaching out for him.

"Ladybug!" he exclaimed, tossing her up and catching her. He then kissed her chubby dimpled cheek, dimples she inherited from her stunning mother.

"Where's my kiss?" Brooke asked jokingly.

"Right here…" he then bent down and kissed her passionately and full of love.

Haley smiled as she looked at both of her best friends happy and in love. "Stop blinding my goddaughter!"

The married couple broke apart with a laugh. "Sorry Hales…Sorry Jada."

Lucas went to Haley and hugged her, "Hello My third favorite girl. And one of the people responsible for my happiness."

"You are so sweet. But I had help." Haley said with a wink. "And you and I both know that it was fate."

"Yeah…I don't think I can be any happier."

The end...

Sorry that its so short but I felt that it should end here. I hope you enjoyed it despite the shortness of it.
