Chapter 21: Busted and Hot

"Peyton, Jake. What were you guys doing?" Haley asked half an hour later as they all stood in the security room, "Wait, never mind. I don't want to know." She said.

"I thought you guys were going to go be with Jenny." Nathan said, giving Haley a soda, from the machine outside.

"Thanks." Haley said to Nathan turning to Jake and Peyton, "I'd like to know that too." Haley said drinking the soda; it was starting to get hot in the little room.

"We were. We just wanted a ride first." Peyton said turning red.

"Yeah a long one, cause you're sunburned." Haley told her friend. Peyton was wearing a shorts and a yellow tank top, and was indeed sunburned, her shoulders and back especially.

"Oh that's great." Peyton said sarcastically giving Jake an evil glare.

"Don't look at me; it was your idea to do it on the ferris wheel." Jake defended himself.

"Really?" Haley asked turning to Peyton for confirmation, "Brooke will be so pleased to know she's rubbing off." Haley joked.

"Be lucky you're not going to jail." Nathan told them both.

"Yeah, well Brooke is going to want details. The police won't." Peyton pointed out ignoring Nathan and leaning against Jake.

They weren't being arrested because they were just caught making out, not actually have sex; although Peyton was on Jake's lap, so either the operators were blind or didn't care about what took place.

"How did you get caught exactly?" Nathan asked curious because they ride barley ever stopped moving. The ride was round and had a roof and doors on it so it provided some privacy but not a lot- obviously.

"Well I gave the operator fifty bucks to skip over our seats a couple of times." Jake told him, also a little red. Haley didn't know if it was from a sunburn or from embarrassment. "Then some kid saw us go around a few times and when we didn't stop, he got security." Jake explained.

"Maybe he thought Peyton was hurt since she screamed." Haley thought, when she saw everyone look at her she was confused, and then she realized something. "Was that out loud?" She asked Nathan even though she already knew the answer. When Nathan nodded she hid behind the bear, and started to laugh at the situation. Then Peyton slapped her, but Haley still kept laughing. It wouldn't have been a surprise if it was Brooke that was caught, but Peyton never did that or showed any kind of PDA. Besides Brooke really wouldn't care half as much as Peyton or Haley would combined.

The head of security came back in, just as Haley stopped laughing and made her and Nathan leave so that he could speak with Peyton and Jake.

Outside the office Haley started to laugh again this time Nathan joined in. After a couple of minutes Haley finally spoke, "And we thought it was Brooke and Lucas." She said still giggling.

"Yeah, it looks like Peyton stole my idea." Nathan said, and then cursed himself as Haley raised an eyebrow at him.

"You thought we were going to have sex in the ferris wheel?" She asked him.

Knowing he was caught he nodded, "I was hoping so, yeah." He told her.

"Well I try to keep my sexual acts in a private place, but trust me they are just as fun." Haley told him leaning over the bear to give him a kiss; one which lasted as long as it took for Peyton and Jake to come outside.

"Are you guys next?" Jake teased as after broke apart.

"Nope, because we at least we have a chaperone." Haley said holding up the bear, "He keeps us apart so we won't get in trouble." She told them looking very innocent.

"So what was your punishment?" Nathan asked biting his cheek not to laugh at Haley's excuse or her expression of innocence.

"We have to leave and are not aloud near the ferris wheel ever again." Peyton said obviously not very happy.

"Come on, it could be worse." Jake told her.

"Yeah, but I love the ferris wheel." Peyton pouted so Jake put his arms around her and whispered something in her ear that made her turn red.

Before either of them could ask one of the guards came up to them, "I'm suppose to show you two out. Are your friends coming with too?" He asked.

Nathan and Haley looked at each other, "No, we're staying." Nathan told the guard.

"Okay you two can go then," He told Nathan, turning back to Jake and Peyton, "Okay you two let's go."

"Bye, have fun." Haley said waving bye, then she turned to Nathan and said, "I'm hungry, how about you?"

"As long as there are no roller coasters afterward." Nathan said as they started to walk to the food area.

"It's a deal." Haley said with a laugh.

The rest of the day went very nicely, there were no problems and both of them were having fun. By the end of the day things were looking up in Nathan's eyes. They got ready to go around six, when the fair was starting to close, but first Haley signed an autograph and took a picture with 'The devils Spin' operator and his wife, as promised. It took a good five minutes to pack all of the stuff they got into Nathan's car, and while they were on the road they grabbed some Chinese food to go.

"So when are you going to ask?" Haley asked turning to face Nathan, at his confused look she explained, "To stay with you."

"Oh, that um… now I guess." Nathan said, "So do you? We can watch a movie and eat." He said hoping that she's say yes.

"What movie?" Haley asked, she was going to say yes but wanted Nathan to squirm a little first.

"Whatever you want, I have a lot of DVDs." Nathan told her.

"Let's see what your fortune cookie says first." Haley said pulling one out of the bag that held the food. She opened the cookie and read it, "The greatest joy in life is right in front of you." She read, looking up she said, "Apparently you're greatest joy is the highway." She teased.

"Nope you can have that one. Let me read the other one." Nathan said, Haley gave it to him and he opened it, "Soon you will be on top." Nathan said and smirked at Haley. "Yeah I want this one."

"Let me see that." She said grabbing it, "Soon you will be on top- of the world." She read out loud looking at the fortune, then at Nathan.

"I didn't see that part." Nathan defended himself, "So do you want to come over? I have a Jacuzzi you know." He asked Haley, "No pressure though, just some fun."

"Hmm…" Haley said pretending to think about it, "Okay, but only because I want to try the Jacuzzi." Haley told him.

"What about a swim suit?" Nathan asked her surprised at her answer, as they got off the highway.

"What about it?" Haley asked, "I doubt I'd be wearing it long if your fortune comes true." She smirked.

"That's true, very true." Nathan said, starting to speed up to get to his place faster, he didn't think he'd make it with the way she was talking.

"Easy, or you'll get pulled over." Haley said when she felt the car speed up.

"It'd be worth it." Nathan told her.

"Slow down, I don't want to get in an accident." Haley told him, relieved when he slowed down, "Besides we don't have to rush, we have all night." She reminded him.

Nathan thought about what Haley said the rest of the way to his place. He decided that she was right, and he planned to take things slow because he thought didn't want to hurt her. He also wanted to take things slow like Haley does because they are both was falling for each other and don't even know it.

As Nathan pulled into the parking garage he looked over at Haley who was staring out the window.

"Are you ok?" He asked her.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little tired." She told him, "Before you ask, I want to stay."

"Ok, then let's go." Nathan said parking, walking around to open the door for her and held her hand as they went up to his penthouse. As he opened the door he said, "Welcome to Nathan Land."
