Nathan had dreaded coming to school that Monday. He felt like an idiot for running away after catching Haley with Jake but even worse he was still hurting. He was shoving his books into his locker when he heard a small cough. He sighed and closed his locker to see Haley leaning on the one beside his.
"Nate" she forced a small smile "Hi"
"Hey Hales. Listen I'm going to be late for math so I should jet..."
"Nathan since when are you worried about being late for math" Haley asked, raising an eyebrow "I want to talk to you about the other night"
"What about the other night" he grumbled looking down at the ground
"Well we could start at how you kissed me or about how when you saw me and Jake you took off"
"I was just embarrassed at walking in one you and Jake ...umm..."
"Nathan nothing happened" she laid her hand on his arm "I promise"
"I don't care" he shrugged
"Seems like you do" She elbowed him "and you never answered my question? Why did you kiss me Nathan?"
"Because I was drunk" he looked away because he knew that if he looked into her eyes he would have to tell her why he really kissed her.
She looked skeptical but chose to leave it at that "I'm sorry for ruining your birthday"
"You didn't ruin my birthday Hales" He gave her a reassuring smile
"So were friends?"
"Forever" he nodded
"And Always" she finished as he pulled her into a hug
"Ms. Davis" Nathan greeted the brunette as he slid into the desk beside her
"Nathan Scott" she grinned "Isn't this a surprise"
"What's a surprise?" a confused Nathan asked as he opened up his math book
"You sitting next to little ol me" she winked and opened her own book
"Brooke I don't think you're a little ol you" Nathan nodded his head with a smirk
"And I will take that as a compliment Nathan Scott" she grinned and turned back to her book as the teacher began to speak.
"Why do you let me drink" Peyton groaned sitting down next to her best friend Brooke in the schools cafeteria "I get way to hung over and I act way to happy"
"Happy looks good on you P Sawyer" Brooke replied "So that is why I let you drink. Whets happening with you and Lucas anyways? Together or aren't you?"
"Aren't" Peyton shook her head no, sending her blonde curls flying "Me and Lucas are just on the endless cycle of will we or wont we"
"That's kind of getting old P Sawyer" Brooke scrunched her face in disgust
"Tell me about it" Peyton agreed "but what's a girl to do. That Scott charm is just too much"
"I know all about it"
"Do you now" Peyton smiled turning to look at her best friend "Explain?"
"Nathan" Brooke groaned "I think I might actually like him"
"Brooke Davis" Peyton pretending to gasp "In Like?"
"I know I know" she sighed putting her head in her hands "But his so nice, and cute, and he listens to me, and did I mention realllllly cute?"
"Aw Brooke, you have a crush" Peyton laughed poking her friend
"Oh shut up Peyton" Brooke grumbled getting up from the table and storming away to escape Peyton's laughter.
Haley lay on her bed thinking about the weekend's events. She didn't know what confused her more, Nathan's kiss or Jakes.
"Haley" She jolted up "Nathan?" she asked surprised to see him standing in her door way "Why are you here?"
"I had to come do this" He shrugged before crossing the room and pulling her into a kiss. She didn't protest just gave in as his strong arms wrapped around her tiny waist. "Nathan" she moaned as he moved down to her neck with soft gentle kisses. "I've wanted this, you, for so long" Nathan whispered into her skin. His hand traveled from her lower back up her shirt. Her heart beat faster at the feel of his hand on her bare skin. "Mmm" she moaned as he slipped the black t-shirt over her head to reveal her red bra and tone stomach. "God Haley your beautiful" he stared in awe for a moment before kissing her again. He eased her back until she was lying flat on her back. She tensed with his hand brushed against the top of her leg. His hand found his way to the top of her jeans where he slowly opened the first button. "Haley" he murmured "Haley".
"Mm" she moaned as he undid the last button
"Haley! Wake up!"
"What!" She exclaimed sitting up
"I said wake up" her sister Taylor looked down at her with a confused face "Lucas wants you on the phone"
"Oh thanks, I'll get it in a minute" she nodded. When Taylor left the room she sank back down into her pillows. What was that? And why was she so sad that it had been a dream?
