The Other James ~~ One Tree Hill FanFiction

Season 7, Ep 3&4

A/N:

So, since it took me so long for the last update, I am doing another one right away!

Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sat in Haley's kitchen, just trying to make sense of all this. There was a woman that was saying Nathan had slept with her about 3 months ago and apparently was now 3 months pregnant. I looked over this sonogram and party pictures over a hundred times now but the time Nathan joined me.

"You know that I didn't do this, right?" He pleaded, resting his forearms on the counter.

"You've got your arm around her, Nate. With a beer and a smile... at a party." I sighed.

"It's just a picture, Toby."

"Yeah, you're right. But it LOOKS bad, Nathan. She's smart enough to realize it and you should too." I stated and headed to Brooke's store.

***

"I am assuming that today is stressful, so I brought coffee!" I smiled, handing out the drinks.

"Thank you!" Millie said, before following Brooke to the back of the store.

"Uhm, excuse me!" A voice said, getting me to turn to her, "Hi."

"You must be Alex." I smirked.

"And you must be yummy!" she flirted.

I gave a slight nod and raised my hand to flash my wedding ring, "I'm also married."

She slouched suddenly, "Dang it! I mean, she doesn't have to know."

That's when Brooke came over and wrapped herself around my arm, "Oh, but you don't stand a chance."

I smirked at the jealousy that Brooke was flashing and had to hold back my laugh when Alex had a pouty face.

"There's no way that he married you! You're way too old for him." She stated.

I bit my lip and pushed Brooke away before an all out war broke out. We made it to the roof where the photoshoot was being conducted and Quinn was playing with lighting and what not.

"Alright, we're good!" Quinn said, turning to Brooke and I, "How bout you two get in there and test it out for me."

"Gladly!" Brooke smiled and pulled me into front of the camera.

We instantly started doing geeky and adorable poses together. One consisted of us pretending to dance, while another was me holding her bridal style.

"Okay, let's do this bitches!" Alex said as she took her spot in front of the camera.

The photoshoot went on and I must say, Alex was actually pulling this off and would help Clothes Over Bros for sure. Afterwards, I found myself talking to Quinn as she cleaned up.

"So, you two seem to be doing better." She smirked, nodding in Brooke's direction.

"Baby steps."

***

I was sitting at home alone when a knock on the door took my attention.

"Ready for something different?" Alex smirked.

"Uh. I'm sorry, I don't follow." I said confused.

"Okay, so I have this movie producer looking over a script and if it gets accepted and made into a movie...well, you better get ready pretty boy because you'll be acting in it." She said and then left with nothing else said.

***E4***

"Where are my keys!" Brooke shouted, obviously feeling tense with the show tonight.

I gave a grin and held them up, "I take it you're nervous?"

"You mean, about a show that we have put too much money into? No, not at all!" She scoffed, "I'll see you later."

Brooke headed to the door but I stopped her.

"Hey, Brooke." I smiled, getting her to turn back to me, "You look beautiful today."

She gave a cute wink and headed out the door.

***

I found my way backstage in hopes to find Brooke before the show began, which I did.

"How's tonight's star holding up?" I asked.

"My clothes are about to be judged by people who search for failure..." She pouted.

"Well, I guess they flew all this way for nothing then!" I smiled, getting one out of her as well. "I brought you something."

"You got me a present?"

"Well, not exactly." I said, stepping closer to her.

I took a hold of her face and leaned her back and placed a long passionate kiss onto her lips before I lifted her back up, which led to her giving me a kiss of her own.

"Okay, don't take that back after I say you're the performer for tonight's show!" Brooke said quickly.

"Wait, I'm what!?" I scoffed, being dragged out onto the stage with her.

Brooke stood in the middle and thanked everyone for coming, and then introduced me as the performer. She gave me a look and headed behind the stage again when the music started to play. So, since tonight was for Brooke, I went with it. I performed and waited for the models to walk out. When some of them walked, they would give me a wink or a fist bump or something of the sort. However, when Alex came out she started dancing with me and laughing and having a good time. I think noticed Millie getting ready to walk down so I approached her and escorted her to the edge. Just as I sang the last note, Alex pulled off Millie's jacket to reveal a shirt that stated 'Zero is Not A Size'. The crowd when nuts and erupted into a standing ovation.

***

"You know, even with all these models, my eyes still find you first." I smirked, getting Brooke to blush.

"You looked really good up there. Happy. It was nice to see you like that." She said, taking my hand, "I saw you talking to Alex, what's that about?"

I shrugged, "She's got some script being looked at and I guess if she gets it to movie ready then she wants me to be an actor in it. Just gotta wait and see what happens... but, right now, my priority is sitting right beside me."

She smiled small and leaned in with a soft kiss. "Let's get home."

I took her hand and got up to follow her. To be honest, I was hoping to get an 'I love you' out of her... but she must not be ready.
