"Let me ask you something….are you not helping me move you because it brings back bad memories or because you're a lazy pile of crap."

"You mean…bad memories like these" he handed her a picture of the two of them with his famous smirk plastered on his lips.

"Ohh god.." she rolled her eyes as she handed the picture back to him.

"We started out the school year this way" he said with a small laugh

"Yeah don't remind me…"

"You were never happier"

"You were never hornier"

"Oh yea…you want some more of the magic" he looked at her with raised brows as he set the picture down beside him.

"Don't"

"Come here" his body barley lifted from the couch as he pulled her down into his lap.

"No…"

"Come on" she broke out into fits of laughter as his hands grabbed her sides, his fingers working feverishly as he tickled her.

"Stop it" she shrieked as she tried to get away. They're laughs echoed through the now vacant apartment and they were oblivious to the open door and the gaping brunette in the doorway. "Will you stop"

"Well well" the two broke apart and Peyton scrambled to her feet. "First Lucas then Jake now Nathan…guess slutty's in season."

"And why is bitch being a Brooke" Peyton smiled at her best friend.

"I don't know…maybe because I'm leaving for the summer, possibly forever…and my best friend is off giving interviews and having pseudo innocent foreplay with kinda married guys." This grabbed Nathan's attention as he turned around to gaze at the cross armed brunette.

"Ohhh…Mr. Scott…you are looking pretty hot in those boxers." She whispered seductively into his ear as her finger traced the lines in his stomach. She giggled when he shifted slightly and smiled in his sleep. "Ohh Nathan" she whispered before feigning a moan. She inhaled deeply and let it out slowly, sound occasionally slipping from her perfectly glossed lips.

"Hmmm" he moaned as her hand slipped down and traced the rim of his boxers. She watched his head tilt back, his lips parted slightly. She slipped her leg over his body and straddled his stomach. She gently drew on his chest with her fingertips. She placed one finger in the center of his chest and slowly dragged her finger down until she reached the edge of his boxers again. "Ahhh" his head rolled to the side as he bit his bottom lip. She watched his eyes slowly flutter open.

"Morning sunshine…." She smiled and waved at him from her position on his stomach.

"Peyton what are you doing here this early…sitting on me at that" he questioned as he looked over at his clock before gazing back up at her. It was a little past 7AM and he was ready to do back to sleep.

"Well…I just wanted to wake you up" she smiled sweetly at him. "Plus I wanted to fulfill I certain promise I made to you" she watched him squirm slightly and saw the little bit of confusion in his face.

"And what promise would that be" he watched her bend down so that she could whisper into his ear.

"I told you I could get a rise out of you" her voice was low and seductive.

"Damn you Peyton" He grabbed her by the waist and pushed her next to him on the bed as he finally realized what that off feeling was. She laughed as he hurried off the bed and towards his door.

"Where ya going?" she questioned innocently as she laid back and relaxed on his bed.

"I'm going to take a shower" he glared at her as he disappeared into the hall.

"Make sure that waters nice and cold" she called after him and she laughed again when she heard the bathroom door slam.

When he walked back in the room he found her curled up on his bed sleeping. He shook his head before throwing his towel down in a nearby chair. He laid down next to her and pushed her body over slightly. "You can't have the entire bed"

"Hmmm" she turned to face him, her eyes barley open. "What is with guys and sleeping in boxers?" she questioned as she closed her eyes again.

"It's cool and it's comfortable." He placed his hands behind his head and looked over at the curly blonde. "You know…you come over here and wake me up and then you go to sleep…that doesn't seem right"

"It's not my fault you had to take a shower" she smiled slyly but her eyes remained closed.

"Ohh it's not" he looked at her wide eyed.

"Nope" she opened her eyes to look at him. She laughed lightly before closing her eyes and turning her back to him. "You should learn to control yourself"

"Fine" he moved his hands to her side and pulled her body into his and began tickling her.

"Nathan stop…" she begged between laughs.

"What…it's not my fault your ticklish…you should learn to control yourself" he mimicked with a smile. "So what are you doing over here this early" he questioned, his fingers still moving rapidly at her sides.

"If you stop….I'll tell you"

"Alright" he placed his hands back under his head and she turned to face him.

"Well…I was bored and I couldn't sleep"

"I think you just wanted to see me in boxers cuz you fell asleep real fast in my bed…I know you want me Peyton, but there's really no need to be so seductive…all you have to do is say the word." He winked her and she rolled her eyes

"Whatever Nate…anyway I was wondering if you we're up to a day at the beach" she smiled sweetly at him.

"And why can't you go by yourself" he closed his eyes and waited.

"Well…I tired that twice already and every time I go there are these guys there and they won't leave me alone. I know they'll leave me along if they see me with you. Please Nate…" She rested her chin on his stomach and watched as he opened one eye and looked down at her. She stuck out her bottom lip.

"Alright, alright…just stop with the puppy dog face"

"Ohh…thank you…you're the best Nate" she sat up and kissed him on the cheek before sitting up straight.

"I know, I know" he placed his hands up in the air and smirked at her.

"Go get dressed" she shook her head at him and watched as he grabbed his trunks and a shirt before disappearing into the bathroom.

"Lets go" he said as he stuck his head back into his room. Peyton jumped off the bed and followed him down the hall. He grabbed his keys off the hook by the door.

"We can do something you want after this…just to be fair." She stated as they got into his car and took off down the road.

"Sounds like a plan…food and a movie good." He looked at her and she nodded.

"Why does that sound like a date Mr. Scott" she questioned as she smirked at him.

"I guess cuz that's what most people do on dates…but if it were a date I'd be paying for you…and I have no intention of doing that." They both laughed as they pulled into the parking lot.

"Good to know...don't want people thinking I'm dating you…how awful would that be" she frowned and shook her head.

"Hey…I'm a good boyfriend" he defended as they got out and started towards the sand.

"Okay…sure…I seem to recall certain incidents in our relationship that would prove you wrong…a lot of them" she stuck her tongue out at him. She expected him to have some witty comment to fire back at her but he just kept walking quietly. "Nate…"

"I wasn't that bad…was I" he looked over at her as they walked.

"No you weren't. We just didn't click very well towards the end but it was good at first. We've got a lot of memories Nate…good ones. Plus…you're not the same guy anymore so don't hang on it."

"Yeah" he said quietly and she frowned. She walked over to him and hugged him tightly, stopping him from walking.

"You're not a bad guy Nate…you never were. You just had a lot going on and you didn't know how to deal with it. It doesn't make you a horrible person…it just makes you human. You're a good boyfriend Nate…and as far as I'm concerned you're a great friend." She smiled at him as they pulled apart and she was glad to see him return the gesture.

"Thanks Peyt"

"No problem…now lets go have some fun" she stripped down to her bikini and pulled him down to the water.

"Sweet. You got a pool?"

"Yeah. You want to go swimming?"

"No, you are the boy toy you do what I say tonight."

"Oh just like old times" he laughed while she rolled her eyes

"Please. You did whatever you wanted and most of the time it was either sucky or mean."

"I know. But you let me"

" Well maybe I kept thinking you'd change. Live and learn, right? Is this thing heated?"

"I don't know, why don't you check it out?" He watched her walk foreword and bend down in front of the pool. As she dipped her hand in he ran towards her. His hands slipped around her waist and she screamed as he pulled her in the pool with him.

"Oh my god!" she shrieked as soon as she resurfaced

"I slipped"

"What!"

"I slipped. Hey, at least it's heated" Peyton's jaw dropped as Nathan continued to laugh. She swam over to him and pushed him under, starting an unplanned water fight.
