"Haley? How are you?" Nathan watched as her eyes fluttered open.
"Huh? Where am I?" she groaned.
"At my house, one of my old girlfriends drugged one of those muffins you ate." Nathan explained giving her water.
"Some girl drugged a muffin?" Haley couldn't help but laugh.
"Yeah, I know. Wasn't so funny at the time though."
"I'm sure," Haley sat up and hugged him.
"What was that for?" Nathan noticed that his arms fit around her frame so well he didn't want to let go.
"For not leaving me there knocked out, in the cafeteria." Haley joked.
"Well someone had to."
"Well, then I'm glad that someone was you." Haley leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips. He kissed back but didn't want to push anything. She pulled him down on top of her, not breaking her lips from his.
"Is she up yet?" Brooke burst through the door but burst into laughter when she saw them.
"What? Is she?" Peyton's worried voice came from behind the door.
"Oh, she's up alright." Brooke answered pulling her in.
"Oh…um…Hey Brooke!" Haley stuttered. Nathan sat up shooting a dirty look at Brooke and Peyton.
"Oops! Brooke don't you have some shopping to do or something?" Peyton pulled her best friend out of the room. Haley mouthed a thank you before pulling Nathan down again.
"So Broody, what do you think about Hales and Nate?" Brooke asked Lucas. They were sitting at the River Court after Lucas had unsuccessfully tried to teach Brooke how to play basketball. He had to admit, Haley still beat her my a mile at the sport.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, what do you think about them?" Brooke said as if it was totally obvious.
"I think that Nathan is my brother and Haley is my best friend. What else is there to think?" Lucas wasn't getting the drift.
"No, I meant what do you think about them being a couple?"
"I don't know. I guess I never thought they would end up together, but now that they are, I can't imagine them being apart." Lucas replied. Brooke thought for a long time about what Lucas had said. She had always thought they would be cute together...
Weeks went by, no more major drinking nights, no more drugged muffins, just three couples being happy together. By Christmas, Peyton, Brooke and Haley had become closer then ever before. They were never apart, other then when they were with their repective boyfriends. Each couple had had their problems: Jake was still trying to win custody over Jenny and stay in high school at the same time, Lucas and Brooke were only having trouble staying out of bed, but Nathan and Haley were just now mastering how to keep from going back to their old ways.
"So, this Christmas party, it's just going to be small, right?" Haley asked Nathan. They were at his apartment, decorating for the Christmas party being held later that night.
"Well, not really...but it'll still be fun." Nathan replied.
"Right, huge but fun. Sure," Haley mocked him. Nathan rolled his eyes at her and continued putting up the lights. After a few minutes of scilence, Nathan looked over at Haley. She was standing on a chair with her back to him trying to reach up and tape the streamers to the ceiling. Nathan turned so he was fully facing her. He had never seen any girl so gorgeous in his whole life. She was perfect in every way. He didn't just love how she looked, he loved the little things about her. He loved how her auburn eyes would twinkle when ever he was close to her, he loved how she would snuggle up to him when a cold wind blew by or how she would run her hands threw his hair when they were kissing. That was it, he had to tell her. Feeling eyes on her back, Haley turned around.
"What are you staring at?" She placed her hands on her hips and waited for an answer.
"What? Oh...nothing." Nathan turned away fast.
What had he been staring at? Haley hoped it was her and not how back her streamers were looking. She watched him for a while. The muscles moving in his back when ever he lifted something up. He was so hot. How had she never noticed it before? He was amazing. The crystal blue of his eyes would make her knees go weak when ever she looked into them, he would always smell like Adidas body soap and the feeling of his strong arms around her was enough to make her feel like she could take on any challenge in the world as long as he was holding on to her. Haley sighed, that was it, she had to tell him.
