Disclaimer: I don't own One Tree Hill or the WB.

It was your typical day at the café in good ole Tree Hill. Peyton started working at the café to help Karen out. Jake had taken the day off to spend time with Jenny. So it was just Karen and Peyton not that it matter it was a really slow winter day. Karen said, "Peyton just take the rest of the day off I doubt it will pick up."

Peyton questioned, "Are you sure?"

Just then Debbie came through the door and answered, "Yeah go ahead I will help out if the mad rush comes in."

So Peyton decided to do what any regular woman would do at a time like this…Duh go shopping of course! Peyton found she stopped looking at that one shop that Nathan and she went to a year ago for their first date. Peyton found herself blushing of the memory.

Just the Peyton's thoughts were interrupted by Nathan calling; "Peyton" Peyton turned around and saw her boyfriend jogging towards her from across the street. "Hey I thought you were working today?"

Peyton smirked thinking of how he must've bribed Deb to tell him her schedule. Peyton spoke, "It was a slow day so Karen let me off. So I decided to go shopping."

Nathan asked, "So what's in the bag?" Nathan looked down to the bag in her hands.

Haley responded, "Nothing" positioning the bag behind her back. Peyton seemed slightly embarrassed.

Nathan replied, "Oh really then you don't mind if I take a look." Nathan quickly grabbed the bag and turning so his back was to her. Peyton struggled to get it back "Lets see." Nathan peered into the bag and got a confused look on his face "Books? You were embarrassed by books." Nathan picked a book and read a few lines. "Oh Brad it's been so long since I've seen you never let me go." Nathan laughed "Romance novels."

Peyton stated, "Its intellectual reading."

Nathan remarked, "More like smut reading."

Peyton protested, "It is not!"

Nathan responded, "Excuse me yes it is! How much you want to bet that somewhere in this book is where." Pausing to look through the book again "This Brad and Tina get it on in complete detail! Never did I think that Peyton Sawyer would ever result in reading romance novels."

Peyton exclaimed, "So what Nathan! So what if I am reading smut books why do you care anyways?" As she grabbed her bag back.

Nathan studied her face and answered, "You're hiding something more in that bag than smut books." Nathan grabbed the bag back and stuck his hand all the way to the bottom. Nathan smiled "Hmm what is this?" Nathan just notices the store that Peyton and he just happen to be standing in front of. "Oh I see you are remembering our first date."

Peyton took the bag back and stated, "What is in my bag is none of your business." Peyton turned with her back to him.

Nathan hugged Peyton and whispered, "Ya know I wouldn't mind you reading those smut books if you did it in the nude… we could go back to my apartment."

Peyton got free of his grip and questioned, "Is that all you think about?" Peyton has had enough of Nathan and his dirty mind.

Nathan went after Peyton and spoke, "Hey." Nathan turned Peyton so that she was facing him. Nathan's face turned serious and Peyton knew it too. "You know I love you right?" Peyton looked down at her feet "And I wouldn't rush anything with you." Although Peyton didn't say anything in return Nathan knew that Peyton loved him. Even if she didn't say anything after all they have been through still being able to get back together after breaking up. Nathan leaned down and kissed Peyton on the nose. Peyton looked up into his deep green eyes and smiled. Soon they parted realizing they were right in the open fully exposing pda. Nathan and Peyton walked to Nathan's truck "So the court, the docks or the apartment?"

Peyton smirked, "Wow! You're really asking me what I want to do. I am completely and utterly shocked!"

Nathan started the truck and stated, "Shut up!"

Peyton answered, "The court Lucas is there." So Nathan and Peyton started for the riverside basketball court

Meanwhile at the court Lucas and Jake were playing one on one. Lucas asked, "So Jake what are you doing for New years?"

Jake answered, "Well I have big plans." Making a basket "Ya know I plan on watching the rest of the world party in front of the TV. You?"

Lucas responded, "I have no idea Hales and I had this tradition we did every year, but since she left I don't."

Jake puzzled, "So why don't you just call her up find out if she's in town."

Lucas stated, "Do you realize it has been a year since we have even talked."

Jake questioned, "Really so you two haven't talked since the kiss?"

Lucas replied, "Yeah well it was an awkward point." Just then Nathan's truck pulled up Nathan and Peyton walked over "Hey Nate, Peyton."

Nathan questioned, "How about some two on two?" So it was split Nathan and joke against Peyton and Lucas and the game began.

Meanwhile in another part of town a girl took a breath of air. Fresh as always she thought with the town quiet and calm. The girl thought alright I can do this so she stepped into Karen's Café. Karen and Deb stood behind the counter in complete shock of who it was……
