Haley entered the apartment around 6:30. Brooke was up drink a cup coffee on the couch.

Brooke: What happened to you, your soaked and...Haley is that Nathan Scott's sweatshirt you're wearing. Oh my God, did you guys make up and hook up in a hot tub?

Haley: Brooke, if we hooked up, why would my clothes be wet? I don't know about you, but I don't wear clothes while "hooking up"

Brooke: Ok, ok, yeah so what did happen?

Haley starts to walk away towards the bathroom.

Brooke: Where are you going?

Haley: Um..to shower and put my clothes in the dryer.

Brooke: Don't you mean, Nathan's clothes (Brooke gives a sly, pervy look)

Haley: Shut up, it's not what you think. Now I'm gonna shower and there better be coffee left for me when I get out, cause I'm not going to school without having coffee first.

Brooke: Fine, but you have to fill me in on the way to school.

Haley goes into the bathroom and shuts the door behind her. As she takes off Nathan's sweatshirt she hugs it and sighs, she must have just had one of the most amazing experiences of her life. Haley removes the rest of her clothes and gets in the shower.

-------------------------------------------

When Nathan gets back into the house he's dripping wet. Luckily his parents are still asleep, so he won't get any questioning. Nathan didn't want to talk to anyone right now, he just wanted to let it all sink in. At that moment Nathan Scott was one of the happiest guys on the earth and he didn't even know why, well actually that was a lie, he knew why and he could say it in one word, Haley.

Nathan went into the bathroom, shed his clothes and started the shower. He got into the shower and let the warm water pour down his body. As he showered, he remembered.

FLASHBACK

Nathan had just gotten home to the apartment. He could hear the shower going. He could also hear Haley singing. She was singing Sunday Morning by Maroon 5. Nathan loved it when she sung in the shower. Nathan loved her voice. All in all Nathan just loved her so much.

Nathan went into the bedroom and stripped down into just his boxers. Then he went and opened the bathroom door. Lucky for him Haley didn't lock the bathroom door while showering. Haley hadn't noticed Nathan had entered the bathroom, but Nathan carefully removed his boxers and the walked into the shower. Haley screamed.

Haley: Oh my god Nathan. Don't scare me like that. And excuse me, but if you haven't noticed I'm kinda taking a shower. (give him a fake angry pout)

Nathan: So what (smirks) Nothing says I can't shower at the same.

Haley: But if you come in here, I can't sing in the shower anymore.

Nathan: And why not?

Haley: well...because I have to do this.

Haley leans in and kisses him.

Nathan: Oh, yeah that, well that's just as good as you singing.

Haley: Yeah it is, isn't it, now pass me the shampoo.

END FLASHBACK

------------------------------------------------------

Brooke and Haley are walking down the halls of school and while walking Brooke interrogates Haley.

Brooke: So wait, your telling me the whole time you guys were together you didn't even kiss?

Haley: No Brooke, this was something deeper, something almost more special.

Brooke: Um...hello, what's more special the kissing, well besides sex and sex with kiss...

Haley: Brooke, just trust me, this was just as romantic as making out, just a bit deeper.

Brooke: Ah, but why couldn't you have kissed him while the two of you were freezing your ass's off in the water.

Haley: I dunno, I wasn't really think then, I was just in the moment.

Brooke: Hello, you can totally...

Brooke trails off when they get to Haley's locker, because there is a red rose and a note taped to Haley's locker. Haley looks almost with disbelief.

Brooke: Woah.

Haley: Yeah my words exactly.

Haley untapes the rose, smells it and the takes the card down to.

Brooke: So, what's it say.

Haley smiles and hands the card over to Brooke.

A beautiful rose for a most beautiful lady.

Some day this beach might wash away. The oceans might dry. The sun could dim. But on that day I'll still be loving you. Always and Forever. I promise you Haley.

Nathan

Brooke raises her eyebrows as she hands the card back to Haley.

Brooke: Poetry, wow he's turning into his brother.

Haley: It's our wedding vows and shut up it's sweet.

Brooke: Well, I never said Lucas wasn't sweet. In fact, speak of the devil.

The two girls turned to see Lucas approaching.

Lucas: Hello Brooke, Haley . Whose the rose from?

Brooke: Haley's lover.

Lucas: Who would be..?

Haley: Don't make me smack you Lucas.

Lucas: Chill Haley, I was just kidding. I wonder why Nathan had the sudden change of heart. Echem, speaking of changes of heart, brooke...

Brooke: No Luke, I haven't changed my mind about being exclusive.

Lucas: ok then. Um...I'll catch you guys later, I gotta find Peyton.

Haley and Brooke: K bye.

When Lucas left Haley held the rose close to her and sighed.

Brooke: Oh my god Haley, your such a sucker.

Haley: Oh, so what if I'm please by simple romantics like a red rose.

Brooke: Oh well, I'm happy for you. Does this mean the two of you are back together.

Haley: You know what? I honestly have no idea.

Brooke: Wow, you should get on that gurlie.

Haley: Yeah, well I'm just living in the moment here. Playing it by ear.

So is it official, are they back together? Or is Naley going to go through the courtship that they never really had?

Hope you guys liked it
