Chapter 8
Peyton woke up in Lucas's arms.
"I think this was one of my best birthdays I have ever had."
"Yeah I bet."
"No not just cause of this, but we gave ourselves to each other tonight. We waited so long to actually feel comfortable enough to do this and we did."
"And it was amazing."
Lucas kisses her on the forehead.
"So what are we doing today?" Peyton says beginning to get up.
Lucas pulls her back down.
"We're going to stay in bed all day."
"Oh we are." Peyton says kissing him.
"Yup. We're just going to relax and enjoy our time with each other."
"Fine with me." Peyton says laying back in his arms.
Haley and Nathan has gotten back from their week in Ohio so they could get ready for prom.
"OMG this is so exciting." Haley says sitting in a chair letting Peyton do her makeup.
"Yeah I know and Haley you better stay the whole time including the after party."
"Ok I will I promise."
"Close your eyes." Peyton says putting Haley's eye-shadow on.
"I'm just scared."
"Of what?"
"I'm scared Nathan's gonna expect us to you know after prom."
"Don't worry about that until it comes up. Just try to avoid the subject of after prom."
"Yeah."
"Ok your all done now go get your dress on and let's go Lucas and Nathan will be here any minute now."
Haley runs into the bathroom and gets her dress on and walks out.
"OMG your dress is beautiful."
"Thanks. So is yours."
"Well thank ya." Peyton says with a laugh. "Let me call Lucas and see where their at."
"Ok."
Peyton dials out Lucas's cell number.
"Hello?"
"Hey Luke this is Peyton. Where yall at?"
"Umm.. we're coming by that old barn down from your house. We're almost there."
"Ok."
"Ok bye."
"Their almost here Haley."
"Ok."
They walk downstairs and sits on the couch waiting for them to knock.
Lucas and Nathan get out of Nathan's 2004 Mustang.
"Are you nervous yet?"
"Kinda." Nathan says grabbing the corsage from the dashboard.
Nathan and Lucas had decided to be nice to each other for Haley and Peyton's sake.
They walk up to the door and Lucas knocks. Peyton answers it.
"Hey babe you look good." Peyton says to Lucas giving him a hug. "And you do to Nate." Peyton knew it would make Lucas mad if she hugged him so she gave him a pat on the shoulder.
"Thanks." Nathan says walking over to Haley and greeting her with a hug. "You look gorgeous." He whispers in her ear.
Lucas and Nathan put their corsages on them and they head off to prom.
They walk into the hotel where it was being held. Everyone was already there and dancing.
"Come on Lucas let's go and dance." Peyton said grabbing his hand and taking him to the dance floor.
"Yeah Nathan come on." Haley says doing the same.
"I'm so glad I came and your the one I'm with." Peyton says putting her hands around his neck and letting him slide his arms around her waist.
"Yeah me to." They sway back forth.
"I don't think I could have gone though this school year without you helping fix all my mistakes. I got so scared when you left me I thought I was going to die cause I couldn't breath, but baby I am so glad you came back for me."
He just pulls her closer.
"And I want to be with you again?" Peyton whispers in his ear.
As they swayed back and forth Peyton just felt like she drifted right off her feet. He was her everything.
Haley and Nathan were swaying to the beat of the music. Nathan just holding her as close as he could never wanting to let her go.
"Haley?"
Haley raises her head from his chest.
"What babe?"
"Thanks for giving me a second chance. I won't let you down this time."
"I know." She lays her head back down on his chest. "This feels so good Nathan. Don't ya think?" Haley whispers in his ear.
"Yeah."
Haley feels him pull her close really strong.
"Nathan I want to give myself to you tonight." Nathan still thought she was waiting for marriage, cause she never told him about Lucas and her.
"I thought we agreed to do that when we get married?"
"I know, but I don't think I can wait any longer."
"Ok babe."
Later in the night Nathan and Haley decide to just skip the after party and go back to his apartment.
"Are you hungry or thirsty?" Nathan asks opening his fridge.
"No I'm good."
"Ok." Nathan says grabbing a water bottle and taking a sip of it. "So what do you want to do?"
"I don't know." Haley says a little nervous.
"Oh I know what you want to do." Nathan says walking over to her and putting his arms around her and kissing her on the lips.
"I'm scared." Haley whispers.
"Don't be babe. It'll be ok."
"I'm just scared that tomorrow when we both graduate we will move on with other people and forget everything."
"Baby I will never forget you. We will be together forever and that's a promise." Nathan says kissing her on the forehead. "Don't you trust me?"
"Yes I do."
Nathan gives her a peck on the lips and hugs her close so she would feel safe. Then he takes her hand and leads her to his room where they make love for the first time.
Haley at Peyton's house talking about their night at prom.
"So what did you Lucas do after prom?" Haley asks while taking her laced up heels off.
"We went to the after prom thing till 12 then when went to Tim's party and ditched that around 1:45. So we went to his house and stayed from 2 till 4 and that's it. How about you and Nathan."
"Well we left prom around 11."
"Are you serious why so early?"
Haley just smiles.
"Peyton theirs something I need to tell you, but you cannot tell Lucas."
"Ok. What?"
"Me and Nathan kinda well.... You know."
"Your kidding."
"No I'm serious and it was great."
"Congratulations."
"Thanks. He was so gentle. It was so sweet and romantic. He had music playing and candles lit."
"Aww..that's sweet. Me and Lucas's first time was in his room on my birthday. Girl talk about romantic. He had the rose trail, the lighting fixed, the music, the candles, and the wine. He was shaking like crazy, cause he was so nervous."
"Yeah Nathan kept trembling it was so sweet, cause it was like all his bad boy side just left him and he was actually scared."
"Yeah." Peyton said getting that feeling back when her Nathan did it their first time. Let's go to bed girl. Your staying over right?"
"Yeah."
"Ok. Night"
"Night."
