Brooke woke up and looked at Nathan who was crashing on her couch. She smiled as she remembered how sweet he was at the beach.
"I can't" she whispered as she leaned away from him after the kiss. Her heart was still broken, though she liked to be with Nathan right now, she still felt the pain of Lucas cheating on her. She knew exactly she wasn't an angel herself. She thought about Nathan all the time and she even kissed him while she still was dating Lucas, but somehow her heart still ached. Maybe it was because she lost both boys to her best friend, or maybe she was just hurt by the way Lucas treated her…
"You need time?" Nathan asked as he looked down at her. Her eyes were shinning in the moonlight and she tried not to look at him.
"You're hurt" he whispered and she looked up.
"You are too" she said and he froze for a second. Of course he was broken and hurt, he had been fighting to get her back and all he had now was a bruised Brooke that he wanted to fix no matter how long it would take.
She remained silent as she looked into his worried eyes. Brooke wanted to shield him from all that he could now see in her eyes and she was sad that she couldn't.
"I am sorry" she said and turned around to walk away.
Nathan took her hand and turned her around just to see some tears in her eyes.
"Do you still feel anything for me?" he asked and she swallowed hard.
"Of course I do" she whispered and a smile appeared on Nathan's lips.
"I waited long enough that it doesn't matter if I wait a bit longer" he said and she pulled him into a hug.
"Thank you" she whispered and he locked his arms around her.
Brooke noticed that Nathan moved again and smirked. He was staying here on her uncomfortable couch just to be with her and to help her. She couldn't understand why he cared enough to, but she was thankful for that. Nathan opened his eyes and smiled at her.
"So does this mean you let me crash at your place?" Nathan asked as he walked next to Brooke and she turned around and nodded.
"It's the least I can do" she muttered and Nathan smirked.
"Not like that" she reminded him and he put his jacket around her shoulders.
"I know" he smirked and she couldn't believe how sweet he was right now. There was a lot they had to talk about and she knew they would have to, but right now she was just happy walking with him through the night.
"When did you become a gentleman?" she asked and he smirked at her and she couldn't resist but smile back.
"Surprised?" he asked and she nodded.
"Well I am a mystery" he whispered and Brooke looked back at the pavement.
"I guess" she nodded.
"Good morning" Nathan whispered and Brooke smiled back. The sun was falling through her window and shined in Nathan's blue eyes.
"Can we talk about it?" Brooke asked and Nathan nodded. They were sitting on the floor and she looked at him.
"I never meant to…" she whispered and Nathan nodded.
"Neither did I…" They sit there remembering all that they said to each other and how they hurt each other over and over again and Brooke stopped for a moment.
"Sometimes I want to take it all back" she whispered and Nathan nodded.
"How did you sleep?" Brooke asked as she walked over to him and sat down on the couch.
"Not bad" he lied and she laughed.
"Trying to spare my feelings?" she wondered and he pulled her down and kissed her lips just once.
"I think this would be wise" he said and she nodded. It was just normal to have him around and she never intended to get over what happened with Lucas this fast, but she was ready. She never thought about the appropriate time to let someone else in. Then again he was always somehow part of her. He defined her decisions and he was here with her.
Nathan looked at her eager eyes and smiled.
"Million for your thoughts" he whispered and she looked down at him again. He seemed to be full of life once again. She hasn't seen his normal self for a while now and she started to miss it.
"Want to join me in the big cold bed?" she asked and offered him her hand.
"Are you sure?" he asked and she nodded.
"I wanted you all the way, Nathan" she smiled and he got up to follow her to the bed.
Her eyes were shining at his and he felt his hands put themselves on her hips.
"I hope it's not just one of my dreams again" he teased her as she kissed his neck.
"I promise it's much better" she breathed against his neck and pressed her lips on his mouth again to feel him once again. The passion between them was undeniable and she grabbed his hair as she couldn't stand by herself anymore. Nathan smirked against her lips and slowly pushed her down on the bed.
"I missed you" Brooke moaned and Nathan kissed her cheek and collar bone.
"I missed you too" he breathed out.
Brooke's hands wandered under his shirt and he looked into her eyes.
"Are you sure?" he asked and she nodded as she pulled his shirt over his head.
******
"Are you hungry?" Nathan asked as he heard Brooke's stomach.
"No" she whispered and cuddled into him while placing kissed on his chest. Nathan smiled at her while he caught her lying but she just smirked at him.
"Are you lying to me?" he asked and she kissed him so he would finally shut up. She was happy right now and too afraid to let the outside world in so Nathan rolled her over and smirked at her.
"Now tell me the truth" he teased her and she tried to kiss him once again but was too weak to fight him.
"Maybe a bit hungry" she whispered and Nathan placed kisses around her lips and finally ended in a passionate kiss.
"Come on" Nathan said while putting his shirt back on.
"Nah, I'm good" she smirked as she watched him and put her pants on.
"Well, I am good here too" he whispered as he watched her and she walked closer to him.
"So does this mean you are…" she bit her lip and Nathan smiled as he kissed her upper lip and sucked it in.
"I hope so" he smirked and she nodded. She took his hand and smiled.
"And now you can meet my parents" she teased and Nathan laughed. They walked down together and found Rachel on Owen's lap while he ate some omelet.
"They aren't like usual parents though" Brooke teased and Rachel turned around at that.
"Nathan?" she asked surprised and Owen turned around as well.
"Morning" Brooke said and threw both of them a daring look.
"Morning" both said in sync and Nathan laughed.
"Hey guys" he said and Owen nodded towards an empty chair.
"Brooke would you help me in the kitchen?" Rachel asked and the brunette nodded before she gave Nathan a small little kiss.
"So you and Brooke, again?" Owen asked and Nathan laughed.
"Are you going to punch me again?" he asked and Owen shook his head.
"Good" he laughed and they started talking about the prom and the fight that Owen overheard.
"So you and Nathan?" Rachel whispered and Brooke nodded.
"So is this your love?" Rachel asked and Brooke thought for a moment.
"I'm sick of defining love, all I know is I think about him all the time and I even did when I was dating Lucas and I want to be with him, he makes me happy" she said and Rachel smiled.
"That's love" she whispered and they walked back to the table with more omelets and Brooke put one plate in front of Nathan.
They sat there talking and laughing together.
