Last time on Big Fish in Small Waters…
"Guess what our favorite home town rock star is going to sing for us tonight…" Tim said, and everyone cheered.
"A'ight, everyone it's time for the woman you have been waiting for. Miss Haley James, get your rock star ass up here!" Tim said, and everyone cheered, and Nathan's mouth just dropped.
"Ok, ladies and gents, it's our last song of the night! Grab someone you care about. Here's 'Hey There Delilah.'"
"Haley, would you like to dance with me?" Nathan asked.
"Loved to!" Haley said, and they all went to the dance floor.
"You could of told me!" Nathan said.
"Nah, I wanted to see you face, and it was priceless!" Haley said, and she chuckled
-----23-----
Haley and Nathan just danced in comfortable silence, and they looked into each others' eyes, and they found peace in the other.
The song ended, and Peyton said, "Ok, Tree Hill, that was the last song of the night…" Everyone groaned. "Good night, everyone. Drive safely! This is it for the night for Team Pim!" She finished.
Haley and Nathan separated, and they felt a like the warmth was gone.
The huge group of friends went to the bar.
"Ok, Haley, I am so happy you did that tonight… Were you really planning that all along?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah, Tim was also teasing me about always playing it safe, so a couple of weeks ago I got the band together and told them we need to do some risks, and they were happy!" Haley said with a smile.
"Yeah, I was happy for you, Haley… Especially when you said you wanted to do Heart's "Barracuda…" Junk said.
"Ok, am I the only one who is not tired at all?" Haley asked.
"Well, Baby James, you did just go through an adrenaline rush!" Bevin said.
"Yeah, I guess…" She said.
"So do you want to do something, H-D?" Tim asked.
"Yeah, let's go to our place!" She said, and everyone nodded. "Tim, was there any type of cake left?" She asked with a sweet smile!
"Now that you mention it. I told Karen about you performing tonight, and she gave you one of the chocolate cakes…"
"Sweet! Don't worry I will share with all of you!" Haley said with a smile.
"So we'll meet you at our place in like fifteen minutes?" Brooke asked everyone, and they all agreed.
"Ok, Tutorgirl, here are my car keys. Be extra careful with it." Brooke said giving Haley the car keys with a mischievous smile.
"You know I haven't wrecked a single car in my life!" Haley said.
"Ok, what about Taylor's car?" Mouth asked.
"Ok, shut up, I was fourteen and pissed off…" Haley pouted.
"Wait, what happened?" Nathan asked.
"See our Baby James here was at home, and her sister Taylor was being a nag, so Haley decides to take her car. She forgot to put the garage door up, and you can fill in the rest…" Junk said, and everyone laughed.
"Shut up! You are not the best with cars either Mr. Back-into-the-same-tree-five-times!" Haley said as a matter of fact way, and everyone laughed, and Junk just shrugged it off.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah…" Junk said.
"Ok, we will see you guys later!" Brooke said as she and Mouth left.
"Yeah, we will see you guys later!" Bevin said as she and Skills also left.
"I guess that leaves you with me…" Haley said, and Nathan gave her a face. "Don't worry I am a seriously safe driver now! Plus if I wrecked Brooke's car; she would probably kill me…"
"I trust you!" Nathan said as they left TRIC.
They walked outside, and the parking lot was pretty deserted, but it still looked kind of creepy, and it made Haley nervous, and Nathan noticed.
"Is there something wrong, Hales?" Nathan asked, and she felt a chill go through her body as he said her nickname.
"Nothing, it is just a tad creepy out here!" She said.
"Don't worry; I'll protect you!" Nathan said, and he smirked.
Haley turned around and started to walk backwards, "Oh, you will, will you?" She asked with a flirty voice.
"Oh, of course!" Nathan said with a smirk.
They made it to Brooke's escalade, and she turned the car on, and she started to change the channel.
"Don't worry; I won't put it on 'Chick music.'" Haley said as she landed on a channel with Timberland's "The way I are."
Baby if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
(I'm about to strip and I'm well equiped
Can you handle me the way I are?)
I don't need the G's or the car keys
Boy I like you just the way you are
Let me see ya strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like, I like, I like...
"So did you have fun tonight?" Haley asked as she pulled out of the parking lot.
"Yeah, it was different. It's the first time I haven't had a lot of women all over me…" He said, and he smirked at her.
"Men and their egos!" She scoffed.
"But you did great, Hales. I was shocked as hell… When did you start singing up there?" Nathan asked.
Haley smiled at the memory and said, "Tim heard me singing one day, and he recorded it on his phone. When we were all at our place, he pulled his phone out, and he asked us to check out his new ringtone. It turns out that it's me singing No Doubt… Everyone was like 'Go, Baby James!' and that was when Karen and Peyton started the club. They all made me go up there and sing on open mic night, and everyone cheered when I was finished, and I just have done it ever since then except when I was away at college, but they still made me do it there too! He still has that recording too…"
"Really… It doesn't seem like something you'd do..." Nathan said.
"It's ok… My whole high school was appalled too…" Haley said as she parked the car at the Rivercourt. They were the first there, and Haley knew why…
Haley got out of the car, and she walked to the court. She looked out to the river and noticed the water was very beautiful that night with the starry night, and the lights. She walked to the middle of the court, and she lay down. She looked up at the stars, and noticed how beautiful they are.
"What the hell are you doing?" Nathan asked.
"Just looking at the view of the stars… It's really nice out here…" Haley said.
"Yeah, well my view is nice also." He smirked, and Haley realized that he was behind her and could see her boobs.
She sat up and said, "You're such a perv…"
"Yup!" He said, and instead of smirking he smiled, and she smiled back. They were in a daze till Mouth's car pulled up.
"H. James, why the hell are you laying on the ground when your pretty dress could get dirty?" Brooke asked.
"That's what I said…" Nathan said.
"Coming, Mom. I just was looking up at the stars…" Haley said as she tried to stand up.
"Here…" Nathan said as he gave her his hand, and he helped her get up, but they forgot to let go till Skills walked up.
"Aw, is this your new boyfriend, Baby James?" Skills asked, and they realized they were still holding hands, and she blushed.
"No, Skills…" Haley said.
Tim and Peyton and Anna and Junk started to walk up to them.
"Guys, how bout a game of two on two?" Tim asked.
"Why not? You and me versus Nathan and Junk!" Skills said.
"Yeah, we will see who rules this court!" Tim said. "Is the ball still back there?" He asked.
"Yeah, Haley showed it to me earlier today." Nathan said.
"Ok, Hot Shot, you ready to lose?" Tim asked.
"Yeah, did you forget who the hell I am? I started for Duke for four years, and I have started on the Heat for the past two years, and I was a first round draft, so you ready to lose?" Nathan smirked.
"You might be the shit back there, but this is my court." Tim said.
"And this is my court, so I will be able to help Nathan out!" Junk said as he came back with the ball.
"Junk, your team lost all the time? No, this is my court, so you ready play some ball?" Skills asked.
"Bring it, man!" Nathan said.
"Ohhh… Ok while you guys do that… Mouth will do the play-by-play; while we gossip and cheer you on!" Brooke said.
"I hope you are cheering for us cause they are about to lose!" Junk said.
"Nah, man, you are! Ok, game to 15!" Tim said.
The girls and Mouth walked over to the benches and sat down. Mouth had his old trusty mic on him, and he was ready to start.
"Ok, everyone, welcome to the Rivercourt. We are hosting a game with Tim and Skills vs. Nathan and Junk!"
"Um, so do we cheer for everyone in general or for our men?" Bevin asked.
"Let's do everyone in general! Do you remember 'Let's go Rivercourts!'?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah!"
"Let's go, Rivercourts! Let's go! (claps) Let's go, Rivercourts! Let's go!" The girls cheered.
"Go, Baby!" Bevin cheered.
"Yeah, go Tim!" Peyton cheered.
"Well, Skills starts off with the ball, and he passes it to Tim, and he shoots, and it's in! Nathan starts with the ball, and he passes it to Junk who passes it back to Nathan who shoots it from the 3 point line, and it's in!" Mouth said.
"Whoo! Let's go, Junk and Nathan!" Anna and Haley cheer together.
"So, H-D, what is up with you and Nathan? I saw that look in both of your eyes when we came!" Peyton asked.
"I don't know… I guess when I first met him it was a 'love to hate situation.' Now after a couple hours, I'm don't know. Like he flirts, and I kind of flirt back…" She said, and she didn't know she was smiling.
"Aw, I think out, Baby James, has a crush!" Bevin said.
"I do not!" Haley said.
"Yes, you do! You thought he was hot when we went to UNC at the Duke games… And isn't he one of your favorite players on the Heat?" Brooke asked.
"Shut up!" Haley said in a pout… And the girls laughed, and they gave her a small hug. She looked out at the court, and she smiled when she saw Nathan, and he looked back at her, and he smiled back at her…
