On to Peyton and Nathan! All you Neyton fans… You're going to love this chapter!

Peyton slipped into her black dress, and looked at herself in the mirror. 'I look pretty good, I hope that Nathan will notice…'
Ever since that afternoon at the pool when she was talking to Cara, she knew that she couldn't deny it anymore… she was in love with Nathan. It was way different then before though, this time she couldn't stop thinking about him. She wanted to tell him, but she was also scared that he wasn't over Haley. 'But he is taking me out tonight… we'll see' She anxiously thought.

"Peyton… are you ready yet?" Nathan asked through the door. She smiled, 'Typical boy…'

She walked out, "Ok, Ok, I'm ready… but if I look horrible, then it's your fault for making me rush." Nathan looked up at her and saw that she looked beautiful.

"Peyton, you could never look horrible… especially right now." He said genuinely. She smiled as he led her out the door and down to the car, in fact she couldn't stop smiling the whole way to the restaurant.

"Umm, Nate… this is a really nice restaurant… are you sure that this isn't too much?" She asked as the waiter sat them down and handed them their menus.

"Peyt… like I said before, I wanted to thank you for coming down with me when I know that you didn't want to. I also want to just thank you for being you… I mean, I don't think that I could have gotten over Haley if it wasn't for you, you were there when I needed you the most." He finished looking into her blue eyes.

"Nathan, you don't need to thank me, I was just doing what you would've done for me. What you did do for me with Jake." He smiled at her and nodded in appreciation then looked down at the menu. She had to ask something though, "So you said that you're over Haley?"

"Yea… I mean, there will always be part of me that loves her, but not IN love, because she was my wife, I mean I can't just forget that. But I know that I am over her." He stated sensitively," And you're over Jake?" He asked intriguingly.

"Yes I am. I'm over Jake. God it feels so good to say that… I mean, this is the second time he left me. I know he has to do what's right with Jenny, but it's not fair to me to be in a relationship with someone who can't be there for me. So, I'm over him." She looked up and saw something glowing in his eyes, something that she knew she returned.

They ordered their food and sat there with each other and talked about many different things. Once they were done, they paid and left the restaurant, where they then headed off to the club.

"Are you sure that you want to go in?" Nathan asked her as they started to walk in from the crowd.

"Yea… we should at least stay and say hi to Cara and Jason, don't you think?"

"Yea, but I just wanted to say… tonight was really fun and I'm glad you decided to come with me." He said softly as he bent down and kissed her on the cheek. She smiled at him and followed him in as he grabbed her hand and held it delicately in his own. Once the reached the inside of the club they were surrounded by loud music and many people dancing closely with each other.

"Peyton! Nathan! You came!" called a high voice that belonged to Cara who was walking over with Jason. She hugged Peyton and Jason and Nathan shook hands. They talked for a while, but soon the couple was off dancing once again.

"Would you like something to drink?" Nate asked Peyton.

"Yea, thanks." She said looking at him as he still held her hand.

"Ok you wait here and I'll be right back." He reluctantly let go of her hand and went off to the bar.

Peyton stood against a table watching all the people dancing. She hadn't been out like this for a long time, in fact the last club she went to be with Nathan. 'How ironic…' She thought to herself. Out of the corner of her eye she saw that a guy was walking over to her. He was tall and had slicked back blonde hair, 'eww. Definantly not my type…' she thought as he stood right in front of her.

"Hi, I'm Evan, what's your name, beautiful?" He asked boldly.

"Sorry I'm not interested" she responded as nice as she could as she started to back away, but he was soon right in front of her again," Ummm you're kind of close, could you back up a little?" She said getting frustrated.

Instead, he leaned in close to his ear and whispered, "Did it hurt? Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"

She started to laugh, and slightly pushed him away," Clever did you think of that yourself?" She pushed him harder and walked away, trying to find Nathan.

But from 5 feet away, it didn't look like she was annoyed of him; in fact, to Nathan it looked like she was flirting with him. To Nathan it looked like she was laughing at a joke he told her close in her ear and teasingly tapped him away. To Nathan it seemed as though maybe he was wrong about trying to pursue Peyton again, maybe she wasn't into him like he thought. Before he saw her walk away, he walked the other direction.

"Hi, I'm Veronica… what's your name?" A short brunette asked seductively, that was wearing an outfit that showed more skin then it did clothing.

"Nathan, do you want to dance?" He asked as a new song came on.

"Sure" They walked to the dance floor and began to dance closely. She was grinding really close to him and normally this would have turned him on, but he kept thinking about Peyton and how much he would of rather be doing this with her, or even better just be in the hotel room talking with her.

But Peyton didn't know he was thinking this, all she knew was that he dancing with some slutty girl, extremely provocative.

She stood there for a minute, not knowing what to do. Nathan turned his head and saw her, they caught each others eye for a second, but Peyton decided not to stand there and feel stupid, she turned around and walked out of there vastly. He stood there, not knowing what to think, but he knew what he had to do… he ran out of there, leaving Veronica standing there confused, but Peyton wasn't outside so he got into his car and drove back to the hotel. Once he got there, he didn't stop running as he got inside and up to their room. Once inside of it, he heard her sobbing from the bathroom.

"Peyton… please come out, we need to talk." He said as he knocked on the door. He heard her moving around then the door opened and it revealed a red-eyed Peyton who pushed past him, and sat on the edge of the bed, "Ok, I know that you are mad at me and I can explain."

"Explain what? Why you took me out to dinner and kissed me on my cheek and held my hand, then moments later you're dancing with some slutty girl?" She said standing up, yelling at him.

He looked down ashamed, "Yea… wait! The only reason I was dancing with her was because I saw you flirting and laughing with some sleazy guy."

"What! That guy? Yea, he cornered me, and then I laughed at his stupid pick up line… I guess you missed the part where I pushed past him and went looking for you, huh?"

He looked at her slightly confused then started to smile," You went looking for me, huh?"

"Yea," She looked up at him and into his eyes," I'm just going to say this to get it out there… I've been having feelings towards you lately… strong feelings." She looked away, afraid of what his reaction would be.

Instead, she felt his hands upon her face and she looked up to see him right in front of her, he leaned down and kissed her softly at first, but then it became a passionate kiss as they walked over to the bed and he leaned her down as he lay on top of her, his tongue exploring her mouth.

They separated, breathing heavily, "I love you, Peyton." He said quietly.

She smiled widely, "I love you, too." He smiled too as he kissed her again, this time harder, putting his whole heart into it. His hands grazed down to her thighs and he lift up her dress to revel her body. Pretty soon they were bare.

"I want you inside of me Nathan… please." Peyton said softly into his ear, her body yearning for more. He nodded and kissed her deeper, once more before he entered her. And then they were one. Peyton moaned loudly as they moved faster and faster together.

When they had ended, they lay wrapped around each other, looking into one another's eyes, both knowing that their lives and changed greatly.

What do you guys think? I'm going to skip forward; I think a month because I want them all to be together again… what do u thinks?
