"What time are we supposed to meet?"
Haley looked around her boyfriend's apartment, scrunching at all the mess that was coving the room. She didn't even think she could see carpet anywhere around her. She picked up one of Nathan's shirts that is right beside her on the couch and flings it across the room. She sighs and looks at her watch.
"Nate's in the shower right now," Haley sighed into the phone. As if on cue, she heard the shower shut off and Nathan shuffling around in the bathroom. "Actually he just got out."
"So ask him when he wants to meet?" Brooke ordered, trying to keep the image of a naked Nathan Scott of her mind. She didn't have feelings for him or anything, she had Luke, but she just thought he was really hot. She did have eyes.
"Kay," Haley said to her before covering the mouthpiece of the phone. "Nate?"
"Yeah?" he called from the bathroom.
"Brooke wants to know when you want to meet everyone?" A huge smile came to her face when she saw Nathan stick his head out the door. She thought he looked even sexier than normal when he was wet. So hot that she had even had to suppress the urge to jump in the shower with him once.
"Well," he began, shaking his head a little to get some of the water out. "Are we all having dinner together or just getting drink after?" Haley holds up her finger to tell him that she'll ask and he disappears back into the bathroom.
"Brooke?" she called into the phone, hearing her and Lucas fighting over something on the other end. After about twenty more seconds of arguing, Brooke finally came back on the line.
"Hey."
"Hey," Haley sighed back, making an annoyed face even though she knew that Brooke couldn't see her. "Trouble in paradise?"
"No," Brooke answered with a sigh. "I'm just trying to convince Luke to let me paint his fingernails for the club tonight."
"And let me guess," Haley said, laughing at the mental image of Lucas Scott wearing ruby red nail polish as he chugged on a beer. "He's not letting you?"
"No," she exclaimed, seeming to be generally surprised that he said no. "Can you believe that? He denied me, Brooke Davis. Nobody denies Brooke Davis anything."
"Didn't Peyton already have the third person talk with Tim," Haley commented. Brooke rolled her eyes.
"So what did your Scott say?"
"Huh?" It took Haley a moment to realize what she was talking about. "Oh, yeah. He wanted to know if we're all getting together for dinner first or not." Nathan came out of the bathroom, in nothing but a towel wrapped around her waist. Haley bit her bottom lip as she watched him make his way into the kitchen.
"Haley?" Brooke called out to her after Haley didn't respond to anything she had been saying. "Hales?"
"Oh, hi," Haley said, snapping out of her thoughts. She blushed as she realized that she had been staring. "Sorry, what was that?"
"I said that Jake's parents don't get home until eight so him and Peyton have to stay there and watch Jenny," Brooke repeated herself. "So if you still wanna go out, it'll just be Lucas and me and you guys."
"That's cool," Haley decided, being able to pay full attention now that Nathan had gone into his room to change. "Nathan's just getting changed now. I still have to shower and get ready."
"Me too," Brooke replied. Haley could hear Luke saying something to her. "Give me a minute. My man is trying to say something."
"Kay," Haley said. At first she couldn't hear anything cause Brooke had covered the mouthpiece, but sometime during their conversation, Brooke's hand had slipped and she could hear everything.
"No, Luke!" Brooke screamed. "You can not get a quickie before dinner!"
"How come?" she could faintly hear Luke ask. She had to suppress a giggle at the whining tone of his voice.
"Because you won't let me paint your nails!" Brooke answered. Apparently she didn't think that there was anything else to say to him as she returned to the conversation she was having with Haley. "Back."
"You still on the nails?" Haley laughed. Nathan smiled at her as he exited his room in a blue button up shirt and a pair of jeans.
"I just can't believe he said no," Brooke explained. "I mean, I used all of my charm and everything. I even slid my foot up his leg as I asked."
"And he didn't fall for it?"
"No!" Haley bounced a little when Nathan flopped down on the couch beside her.
"I knew I raised him well," Haley cheered, surprised that Luke had actually resisted Brooke's advances. Maybe he wasn't as whipped as she thought he was. She smiled when Nathan leaned in closer and started kissing her neck. She suddenly had an idea. "How would you feel about a little bet?"
"A bet?"
"I bet I can do what you couldn't," Haley explained, thinking that maybe she could get Nathan to let her paint his nails. She thought he would look so cute.
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah."
"Okay you're on," Brooke answered. "Fifty bucks." Haley couldn't take it anymore as Nathan moved up to nibble on her ear. She gripped the phone and sighed.
"Call here when you're ready to go," Haley said quickly into the phone. "Bye, Brookie." She clicked the end button and tossed the phone on the floor.
"Finally," Nathan sighed and Haley shivered as his breath tickled her skin. "I thought she'd never shut up." Haley knew he was just playing around, he didn't exactly like Brooke, but she was one of Haley's best friends so he put up with her.
"You can scold her at dinner," she told him, nudging him halfheartedly off of her. She needed to get ready if they were going to make it to dinner on time, but on the other hand, she was really enjoying the attention.
"I plan to." He finally decided to pull back and let Haley have her space. Smiling at the pout on his lips, Haley leaned over and gave him a quick peak on the lips.
"I know you aren't Brooke's biggest fan," Haley said sweetly. "But she's my best friend and I appreciate the fact that you are somewhat nice to her. It really means a lot to me."
"Anything for my baby," he replies, pulling her into his lap. She snuggled closer to him and laid her head on his shoulder as she fiddled with the collar of his shirt.
"Anything?" she repeated, trying to sound as sweet as she could. He looked at her strangely and kissed her forehead.
"Anything."
"Well, than I have a favor to ask of you, Mr. Scott." She leaned back so she could give him the puppy dog eyes. She knew Nathan couldn't resist them. He looked a little worried.
"And what would that be, Ms. James?" he asked, nervously. She picked up his hand and played with his fingers. He watched her in confusion.
"Have you ever worn nail polish?" Haley asked innocently as if it were an everyday occurrence for Nathan to have painted nails.
"Umm...no." She looked up from his hand and batted her eyelashes at him.
"Would you ever wear nail polish?" Nathan looked at her uncertainly before slowly taking his hand out of her grasp.
"Again, no." She just smiled at him and began to kiss his neck, trailing up to his ear. She kissed behind his ear, knowing it made him crazy as she ran her hands through his hair.
"Not even for me?" she whispered into his ear. He shivered at the touch. He quickly stood up, picking Haley up with him. He carefully put her back on the couch, taking a step back in an attempt to pry her lips off of him.
"Come on, Hales," he said, finally getting free. She sat there and pouted up at him. "Why do you want me to paint my nails?"
"Brooke was trying to get Luke to do it, but he wouldn't," Haley explained, not pouting anymore. "So I bet her fifty bucks that I could get you to do it."
"So basically you guys were trying to see which one of us was more whipped?"
"Well, if you put it that way..."
"Sorry, Hales," he said, shaking his head and moving back into the kitchen. "I cannot show anyone I'm whipped. Even if it's true, no one will know about it." He reached into the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. Haley stood up.
"So, what am I supposed to do?" she asked. "I'm out fifty bucks." Nathan shrugged his shoulders, taking a sip of his water.
"Find some other desperate moron," he suggested. Just as he said that the door to his apartment flew open and in walked Tim, with his hand held over his eyes.
"Hello?" he called out, his fingers parting a little to get a peck. "You guys aren't doing it, are you?" Nathan shook his head at his behavior and Haley smiled.
"Tim!" Haley cheered, sauntering over to him. He let his hand fall, assuming that meant that they weren't in the middle of sex. She swag an arm around his shoulder and patted his chest with her other hand, smiling up at him sweetly.
"Hey, Hales." He looked at her strangely, trying to figure out what she was up to.
"You're a desperate moron, right?"
OTH
All done for now. I promise the drama is coming. It just might take a while, but I promise it will be completely worth it. Reply if you like it. Thanks.
