"What the hell? What is going on upstairs?" Peyton asked Jake.
He just shrugged. "I don't know anymore than you."
Peyton and Jake had been sitting there listening to Nathan and Haley's argument, well at least the moments when they were yelling.
"Maybe...we should call them down?" Peyton suggested, wanting to get them away from each other before they killed each other.
He nodded. "Ready to head to dinner?" Jake yelled upstairs.
Haley wiped the tears from her eyes and realized the whole house just heard basically everything. Nathan stayed close to Haley.
"They probably heard the whole thing," she said.
Nathan nodded. "I know."
"I still have to get ready...wash my face," Haley told him. "We're supposed to go out to dinner at some place Brooke found and I'm all blotchy."
"Someone has some big news," Nathan said, trying to get Haley to tell him if it was her.
Haley nodded. "Yeah. I'd like to know what it is. Is it you?"
Nathan shook his head. "It's not you?"
"Me? No. Why'd you think it was me?"
"Something about how you were at the airport...I thought...maybe you were going to announce that maybe you were engaged or something," Nathan confessed.
Haley laughed. "That's why you were all weird wasn't it? You were never good at keeping emotions in check. Especially jealousy."
"I...Haley, when I think of you with someone else, I can't stand it. I can't date a girl without comparing everything she does to how you would do it. And if your going to be engaged to anyone, when that day comes...I want to be that someone," Nathan told her.
Haley kissed Nathan. "I love you."
He smiled. "I love you too. No go get ready," he said getting up. "By the way, I meant to tell you something at the airport."
"What?"
"That outfit is hot," he said giving her a sexy smile. "I'll meet you downstairs."
Haley went into the bathroom to fix the way she looked. Knowing her makeup was probably all gone by now.
Nathan changed out of his wet clothes and into something dry, finally. He went downstairs to join Jake and Peyton.
"What are you smiling about?" Peyton asked, throwing a pillow at Nathan.
Nathan sat down on one of the couches. "She loves me."
Peyton rolled her eyes. "Tell me something I don't know."
"Guess I lost the bet," Jake said to Peyton.
"Bet? What bet?" Brooke asked entering the living room with Lucas.
"On how long it would take Nathan and Haley to get back together," Peyton explained.
"We're not back together yet," Nathan said.
Brooke grinned. "But we are," she announced, leaning her back against Lucas and he wrapped his arms around her.
"I won that one," Jake said. "I knew it wouldn't be longer than twenty-four hours."
"You're betting on our love lives?" Lucas asked.
Peyton nodded. "Yup. Back to Nathan. If you aren't back together than what are you?"
"I don't know. But I kind of like it this way."
"A happy night for everyone then," Jake said. "I'm glad. I was afraid someone might kill each other before spring break was up."
Haley came down a few minutes later. She too had to change because hugging Nathan had gotten her all wet. But it was worth it to be in his arms again. "Are we ready?"
"Waiting on you," Peyton told her.
"Let's head out," Lucas said, grabbing the keys and leading Brooke to the car.
Haley met Nathan by the door. "Their back together now?"
He laughed. "Yeah they are."
"Well that didn't take long," Haley said. "Good now I won't have to hear how much she wants him back and she misses him."
Peyton slung her arm around Haley's shoulder. "But now you'll have to listen to all the back together stuff. But then again she'll have to hear you now too." She grinned walking out to the car with Jake and getting in.
Nathan and Haley closed the door behind them and walked hand in hand to the car, and climbing into the back seat again. Not really sure what they were made it a little awkward but Nathan decided he wasn't going to ruin that. They could always talk about that later.
"So where am I driving too?" Lucas asked Brooke.
"A restaurant called the Olive Garden. It sounded cute."
Lucas started the car and took directions from Brooke.
