"Here we are," Kirsten said, leading the way into the cabin.
"Nice," Kaitlin said as she looked around.
"Why don't you all go pick out your rooms, then everyone can explore until dinner time. I reserved us one of the big tables in the lodge," Kirsten said. "Julie, I thought you might want one of the downstairs room, easier than all those stairs."
"And that is why you're my best friend, Kiki," Julie replied.
As everyone moved to find their rooms, Ryan and Brooke both hung back. "I'm sorry," Brooke said again once they were alone.
Ryan sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "You have nothing to be sorry for," he said. "I just... I wasn't expecting that. I figured I knew all the sordid bits about your past, like you know all of mine."
"Yeah, well, that's pretty much the only one I'm truly ashamed of," Brooke said. "See, the guy was Nathan."
"Of Naley fame?" Ryan said.
"Right," Brooke said. "But Nate had never even met Haley when he and I slept together. And... Nate had been dating Peyton at the time, but they got into a fight and broke up. Then me and Nate were drinking, and horny, and we had sex and he turned on the camera... It was a huge mistake, and I don't think Peyton got over finding out, and it almost ruined me and Haley's friendship... and now I'm scared it ruined me and you, and that might be the worst part, because I am so in love with you..."
"Hey," Ryan said, gently pulling her into his arms. "I love you, too. And I'm so sorry I reacted like that, because it doesn't change a damn thing. You are still the girl that I wanna have kids with some day. The girl I wanna marry."
Brooke pulled back, smiling and sniffling slightly. "And you claim not to be good with words," she said.
"Let's go find a good room," Ryan said, taking her hand and leading the way towards the stairs.
"And finish making up?" Brooke said hopefully.
"Definitely," Ryan agreed, quickening his pace and making Brooke laugh.

Later, Brooke and Ryan lay under the comforter in their room, limbs entwined. "You're not upset about me and Nate still being friends, are you?" Brooke asked quietly. "Because as much as I love you,. and believe me, that's a whole lot, I won't give up my friends."
"Do you mind that I still occasionally e-mail one of my exes about physics stuff?" Ryan asked. "I'm not interested in Lindsay any more than you're interested in Nathan. As long as you don't go making out with him, I'm not worried."
"But you'd probably be cool with me making out with Haley, huh?" Brooke replied, laughing.
"Why do you say this stuff?" Ryan asked, laughing with her and running his fingers through her hair.
"Because, it lightens the mood," Brooke said. "We both had more than enough drama in our lives, we need to have more fun."
"And you talking about making out with girls is fun?"
"Not just talking about, I will totally make out with Summer," Brooke said. "First time we see mistletoe, there will be macking going on."
Ryan smiled and moved to whisper in Brooke's ear. "Someday, when we're older, and college graduates, and I've got my career going, too, I'm gonna bring you back here and ask you to marry me. And when I do, I'll invite Haley, Nathan, and their little boy to come be here to celebrate."
"You're assuming I'm gonna say yes," Brooke said, turning so she could put her chin on his chest.
"Well, if they're here and you say no, at least you'll have a ride back to town after I ditch your ass," Ryan replied with a teasing grin.
"Like you could ever give up this hot ass," Brooke replied with a smirk.
Ryan pulled her into a kiss as she moved to straddle him, one hand slowly moving down his chest and stomach. Brooke pulled back from the kiss to slide down his body, only to stop as someone banged on their door. "What?" Ryan said, hoping his voice didn't sound as strange to whoever it was as it did to his own ears.
"Stop having sex and coming exploring with us!" Summer called through the door. "Or I'll have Kaitlin pick the lock!"
"We'll meet you downstairs in 20 minutes!" Brooke called back.
"That better be to clean up and not have sex again!" Summer said before walking off.
Brooke collapsed forward to lay on Ryan's chest. "I really do love your family, but they seriously have a bad habit of interrupting us."
"Yeah," Ryan agreed, sighing as Brooke got up and went to the small attached bathroom to get cleaned up. "Seriously bad habit."
Brooke stuck her head back out of the bathroom. "But I'll put up with them if it means I get to have you," she said, smiling. "Wanna clean up with me?"
"Oh hell yes," Ryan said, tossing back the sheets to get into the bathroom and pull her into the shower stall with him.

Title for this one comes from the song 'In Your Eyes' by Darren Hayes because it was what was playing when I was editting it and trying to come up with a name, and it kinda fits this part... lol
