Nathan woke up with a start. He glanced at his clock and saw the bright red numbers reading out 3:04. He groaned and rolled over again but heard the knock that had woke him up a few seconds earlier. He stumbled over to his door and opened it up to find Peyton staring back at him. She smiled and shrugged "I know we agreed to not talk tonight but I couldn't sleep and I missed you. Could we just lie maybe?"
"Is that really safe?" Nathan asked, rubbing a hand threw is bed head.
She shook her head no but he let her in anyways. He lay back in his bed and she got in beside him and snuggled into him. He pulled his old plaid comforter over them and his quickly feel bad asleep, the feel of Peyton's silky curls on his chin and the strong smell of rain and strawberries over powering him.
.
"Peyton!" He opened his eyes and leaped from bed but when he looked back at the bed it was empty. He sat back down and smiled when he saw a small piece of paper with Peyton's sloppy cursive on it.
"N,
You looked to cute to wake up. See you tomorrow.
, P"
He slipped the note into his drawer and got ready to begin his day with a smile on his face.
.
"P Sawyer, your being a drag" Brooke whined as she flopped down next to her blonde best friend at the biggest party of the year.
"How so B Davis?" she asked, stealing a quick glance at the table where Nathan was sitting down drinking a beer with a few other Ravens and a few ravens cheerleaders. She flinched watching Rachel attempt to flirt with him. Like that was going to happen.
"We are at the biggest party of the year and you're here sitting down on the couch sipping the same drink I put in your hands a half an hour ago. Come on Peyton, I'm hot, you hot, there are endless boys here so can we please go have some fun"
"I'll try" Peyton nodded standing up and putting her hand out to Brooke to pull her up
"Thank You" Brooke slurred, she was certainty not still on her first drink
Peyton stole another glace back at the table but Nathan was gone; she let out a sigh of relief when she saw Rachel was still there and looking less than happy. "Brooke I'm going to go to the bathroom then I'll meet up with you okay"
"Okay" Brooke called over her shoulder as she skipped on in to the kitchen. Peyton laid down her drink and climbed the stairs to the bathroom. A scatter person lay passed out or making out on the floor but
other than that the upstairs was mostly empty. She was 2 doors away from the bathroom when she felt herself being tugged into a room
"What the hell!" she exclaimed, being pushed into the back of the door
"Shh" Nathan smiled; keeping his arms wrapped around her waist "I wanted to see you"
"Nathan" Peyton smiled, her eyes full of surprise "Hi"
"Hi" He nodded before pressing his lips to hers. His lips stifled the giggle that tried to escape her mouth
"This is dangerous" she whispered between kisses
"Everyone needs a little danger sometimes" He smirked, locking the door as he dragged her to the bed and pulled her into his lap "I hated being down there and sneaking glances at you while not being able to be near .You look beautiful tonight by the way"
Peyton smiled and ran her hand over the silky red dress she had borrowed from a pleasantly surprised Brooke "thanks" She nodded shyly
"Can you sneak over tonight?" he asked hopefully
"I'll try" she nodded "I should be able to"
He gave her a soft kiss on her neck "We should go back"
"We should" she nodded "But I don't want to"
They both jolted when they heard a bang on the door "Peyton, its Jake open the door. I know you're in their"
"Hide" Peyton whispered frantically jumping from her boyfriends lap.
