Recap: Previously on "Playing for Keeps"
"So where are we going in this?" Haley asked, looking down at her outfit.
"Well I know for a fact that the basketball team is going out tonight and taking your husband with them. So you are going to Tric with Luke to keep me company while I work." Peyton told her.
"Pey, I don't know about this. I look like a slut." Haley whined looking at herself in the mirror, again.
"Haley, if you looked like one I'd tell you. And it's completely innocent. You're going out with Luke to celebrate your homecoming, and you're gonna look hot doing it." Peyton did her best at convincing Haley to follow through with their plan, and it worked.
"Ughh, fine!" Haley finally relented.
"Alright then, let's go." Peyton announced, leading the way to the club.
They had picked up Lucas along the way and were now entering Tric. The music was already blaring and as Peyton had a few minutes before her shift she stayed with her friends as they made their way over to the bar. Lucas went around to the serving side opposite of the two.
"What can I get for you ladies?" Lucas asked in his most serious bartender voice.
"Well, since you asked. We'll take two beers." Peyton ordered.
"Pey, I don't-" Haley declined as Lucas brought up three drafts, keeping one for himself as he made his way back around the bar.
"Haley, I know. Now drink up." Peyton instructed. Haley rolled her eyes and took a look around the club, and in doing so caught a glance of a tipsy Nathan who was people watching with Tim.
"You know what? Cheers." Haley stated before taking the beer to her lips and chugging it down completely.
"Hales!" Lucas said, astonished by his friends drinking ability.
"What?" Haley asked innocently as she set her mug down on the counter. She was quick to grab Peyton's beer and chug hers down equally as fast.
"And I repeat…Hales!" Lucas said once more, now even more taken aback by Haley's behaviour.
"Well, I'd love to stay and play a game of how much Haley here can handle but I'm up. You can join me if you want." Peyton told them as she was motioned to the D.J. box.
"Thanks Pey, but I think we're up for dancing. Play something good for us." Haley suggested as she pulled Lucas onto the dance floor.
"Are you feelin okay Hales?" Lucas asked as Haley started to dance.
"I'm fine. What? You think two beers and I'm wasted? Give it a few minutes to kick in will ya, but…hey, why aren't you dancing?" Haley asked as Lucas turned and walked away. As he did so the song switched to one of Sean Pauls titles and she felt a familiar pair of arms wrap around her waist.
"Nathan?" She called out as he pulled her closer and began to grind against her. Haley felt herself move with his body as she let herself lean against his chest.
"God I missed you." Nathan breathed into Haley's ear. In one swift sexy motion Haley had turned herself around to be face to face with her husband, never once losing contact with his body.
"I missed you too Nathan." Haley told him as she continued to grind with him.
"Hot outfit Hales." Nathan commented. Haley was wearing a revealing red top paired with low rise, tight jeans. (click on 'red top' to see a picture)
"You like?" Haley asked seductively.
"Yea. But I'd like it better off." Nathan leaned down to whisper back. Haley felt herself blush seconds before Nathan took her hand in his and led her across the club and out the doors.
Once outside of the building Nathan attacked Haley's lips as he pushed her against the wall of the club, deepening the kiss, before pulling away and leading her into a cab that was parked outside of the club, hoping to catch business off of drunk club hoppers. As the cab made its way to the Scott mansion the estranged and drunk couple continued to explore the once familiar territory. The cab stopped outside of the house and Nathan broke away from Haley for two seconds to pay for their ride home. Once that was over and dealt with the two once again continued their escapade. Nathan led them through the back door and up to his room, magically without waking Deb.
As they made their way across his room their clothes were quickly shed and they were soon on the floor, having missed the bed on account of being too wrapped up in the moment and of course the effect of the alcohol consumed. They spent the night together in the motion of one another, re-exploring every part they loved about each other, the past few months' forgotten and only living in the now.
